Orange rays of light shone into the room through the latticed window. He raised his head and thought about what to do now. Those memories came back. Could he really be indifferent? There was also Yunduo. Even though I knew that I was in love with him in the past, I was still heartless now. I heard the constant noise outside the bedroom and raised my eyebrows. What was wrong with that Demon Lord?
I got out of bed and walked out of the bedroom. I saw a vase flying towards me and quickly dodged it. The vase fell to the ground and broke. I felt a wave of heartache. This vase cost a lot of money. Turning around, he saw several imperial physicians kneeling on the ground, trembling. The Demon Lord and Yun Duo both had angry expressions on their faces. The floor was littered with broken porcelain pieces. They blinked, unable to understand what was going on.
"Yunduo, Emperor, what's wrong?”I asked, but before I could shut my mouth, they grabbed me by the hand, and they all looked very surprised.
"You're awake. Are you still feeling uncomfortable?”The Demon Lord was very anxious.
"Yue, you scared me to death." The cloud was very worried.
"What's wrong with you guys? I just slept for a while and you've become so strange.”I was still confused.
The Demon Lord and the cloud trembled and asked stiffly in unison," You said you were sleeping?”
Nodding, two beautiful male stone statues appeared in front of me in the next second. I was even more confused about the situation.
No matter how I called out, I couldn't make the Demon Lord and the cloud recover. I could only take my hand out and let the imperial physicians leave. I also found people to clean up the mess on the ground. When the imperial study returned to its original state, the two stone statues still showed no signs of recovery. I could only pass the food to eat first. After eating, I took a comfortable bath and changed my clothes. That dream in the afternoon made me sweat a lot. I actually wanted to take a bath for a long time. Then, I sat at the table and ate snacks while waiting for them to recover.
Around midnight, they fell to the ground and shattered the plaster covering them. Trembling, they stood up and sat down to catch their breath. The Demon Lord immediately called the kitchen to prepare supper. I looked at the dust on the ground and thought that I had to clean it up again.
During supper, the Demon Lord and the cloud told me the whole story. They said that I sweated in the afternoon, gritted my teeth, and clenched my fists in pain. They said that my body temperature was indescribably high. They said that I held my chest and cried out in pain for a period of time. They said that they couldn't wake me up no matter what. They said that I was in a hurry and went to the imperial physician to treat me. In the end, they all said that they didn't know the cause of the illness, so they flew into a rage.
I couldn't help but laugh wildly after hearing this. After much difficulty, I stopped and pointed at them to mock them." You two big idiots, knowing that I'm not a human, you still called the imperial physician to treat me. If you can't treat me, you even threw a tantrum and threw things. It's fine if it's the Demon Lord, but why did the cloud follow me for tens of thousands of years and also make a mistake? You two are really…I don't know what to say about you two.”
"That's enough. We're also worried that you'll be too anxious. It's fine if you don't appreciate it, but is there a need to mock us like this?”The Demon Lord threw away his chopsticks and stormed back to his bedroom.
I stopped smiling and supported my chin with my hand. I saw that Yunxiao was also very unhappy. He had experienced reincarnation and would not remember that past. This was good too. Let me bear the heavy memories alone." It's getting late. Yunxiao, go back to sleep after eating."”
I stood up and ignored Yun Xiao's question before leaving the royal study. I went to the roof of the throne room and sat down to admire the night sky of the Northern Kingdom. It was almost the same as what I saw in the Southern Kingdom. Other than the red lanterns on the streets and alleys, I could only see the darkness. It was a world of difference compared to the colorful neon lights in the modern city. However, I liked the present more. In the end, even if I ruled over the evil race, I could only hide in the darkness.
A blue flame appeared in my palm, and a little flame lit up my eyes. It was really beautiful. This flame was even hotter than the flames of hell. I had used it to destroy so many of my kind, humans, and immortals. It should have been chaotic, but it was still incomparably clear. Speaking of which, the first time I knew that I had this flame was when I fought with the thousand-year demon fox. At that time, after a few days and nights of fighting, I was defeated. I lay on the ground and watched as she raised her claws at me, but I couldn't fight back. I could only raise my hands to block her reflexively. At that moment, I heard the demon fox's scream. Only then did I realize that her entire body was surrounded by blue flames, and there was still a little bit left in my palm.
I didn't give this flame a name, just like how I never asked others (especially non-humans) for their names, nor did I ever tell them my real name. To non-humans, names were extremely important existences, so even now, I still didn't know what the Demon Lord's name was. The moment I knew the Demon Lord's name, it meant that he was truly willing to be bound by me, just like the clouds.
Thinking of the clouds, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up into a faint smile. Should he talk about fate? I was the one who taught him to cultivate last time, and after he reincarnated, I taught him again. That day, I only knew that someone had broken into the Earth Boundary to investigate. At the edge, I saw him lying on the ground, dying. I didn't think much about it at that time. I saved him and kept him only to find a companion for myself. It was very boring to stay alone in the Crystal Palace all day.
"My patience and temper aren't good. I only taught the cloud the cultivation method once and set a time. When the time was up, the cloud wasn't allowed to eat or rest before he learned it. Sometimes, when my temper flared up, I beat him half to death. The cloud didn't know why he never thought of escaping or resisting. He always silently endured and continued to cultivate after his injuries recovered. After a hundred years, he finally transformed into a human. At that time, he was just a beautiful little boy. He rushed over to share it with me but was treated coldly by me." I still remember the disappointment in his eyes.
The memories were interrupted by the touch behind her head. Her five fingers retracted the flames and dissipated. She turned around and saw the cloud's distressed gaze. Her heart tightened. Did I reveal my loneliness again and make the cloud worry?
"It's okay. Don't worry." After saying that, she was surprised. I actually used a gentleness that had never appeared before to speak to the cloud. What would he do?
The cloud sat beside me and hugged me." You haven't shown this expression for a long time, but today you seem to have a little more nostalgia. Who are you missing?”
Sure enough, the cloud couldn't remember anything. I wasn't heartbroken when I confirmed this. I just felt a surge of anger in my heart and felt very uncomfortable." No one. I was just reminiscing. I was just thinking about why you didn't think of running away or resisting when I wanted to teach you cultivation.”
" Because, I don't know either. I only know that you saved me and took me in. Like a wolf, a lion will repay kindness. Even if you abused me later, I felt that it was right. Moreover, I should be punished for letting you down. My intuition tells me that I can't leave you.”The cloud spoke slowly, its voice unprecedentedly pleasant.
In other words, the soul of the cloud was guiding them? However, she said," I didn't abuse you. I was just punishing you.”
"Yes, you didn't give me food, water, or sleep. I cultivated day and night until I was beaten up by you. This isn't abuse, it's punishment.”The cloud teased.
Black lines. Was this considered a complaint in disguise? But Shakyamuni didn't lie to me. He really returned the cloud to me. That's good. Now, I just have to wait for the seven emotions and six desires to return.
"Yue, you seem a little different today. Have you never been so gentle to me before?”
"Is that so? It's just an illusion."
