Demon Lord (2): This tail is so charming that Gu Juntian really wants to reach out and touch it.

There were five people surrounding and attacking Haotian, the Demon Lord.

These five were not exceptionally strong, but they had many tricks up their sleeves. As soon as they engaged, they began poisoning and casting curses, as if probing for the Demon Lord’s weaknesses.

In the Demon Abyss, aside from Haotian, there were four other Demon Kings. These four had already made a name for themselves during the reign of the previous Demon Lord, Chi Lian.

Even Chi Lian had been unable to deal with them, which spoke volumes about their strength.

After Haotian killed Chi Lian, many believed that this new Demon Lord had merely taken advantage of Chi Lian’s qi deviation to seize the throne.

Under the guise of avenging Chi Lian, they sought to kill Haotian and claim the title of Demon Lord for themselves.

Naturally, all of them ended up dead at Haotian’s hands.

Over the past two hundred years, countless people had attempted to assassinate Haotian, but those four Demon Kings had remained silent.

In the demonic realm, some mocked them for their cowardice, while others praised their caution.

Judging by the current situation… Although these four had not personally taken action, they had undoubtedly sent many to test Haotian.

These five attackers, working seamlessly together and employing various tactics, were likely subordinates of one of the Demon Kings.

In the Demon Abyss, demons who knew how to cooperate were rare!

The methods of attack in the Demon Abyss were, compared to those of the righteous path, downright disgusting.

Gu Juntian watched as they hurled everything from insects to vengeful spirits at the Demon Lord, and his anger surged.

Ao Jin had been pampered by the entire dragon clan since childhood. When he ventured out to travel, he was accompanied by dragon clan guards and the original owner, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and had never suffered a single hardship.

The most dangerous moment Ao Jin had ever faced was not long ago, when he slipped away from his guards to chase after the Vast Sea Sword Master and was attacked by a demonic creature.

Then, a Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivator actually managed to shatter the dragon core of this silver dragon, who possessed countless magical treasures.

Ao Jin’s combat ability was too weak! And the reason his combat ability was so poor was that he had never truly fought anyone before.

What about the Demon Lord before him?

How many dangers had he faced since childhood?

He had just hatched when his father threw him into the Demon Abyss. Who knew how he had survived all these years?

Gu Juntian’s heart ached for him, and he wished he could tear the demonic creatures attacking Haotian into pieces.

But soon, Gu Juntian realized that something was off about his own situation.

The Demon Lord Haotian was incredibly powerful, and even the five people surrounding and attacking him were stronger than Gu Juntian.

Was his concern for Haotian perhaps a bit unnecessary?

Not entirely unnecessary? He couldn’t help but feel that before he transmigrated, he must have been very powerful, and in this world, he wasn’t weak either.

Although his current body was only at the Nascent Soul stage, he was, in reality, the world’s only phoenix.

From the perspective of a powerful being, it wasn’t unreasonable for him to feel heartache for Demon Lord Haotian.

Haotian and Ao Jin were born from the same parents, but Haotian was far more handsome than Ao Jin. Gu Juntian realized that no matter what, his heartbeat refused to slow down.

The original owner had fallen in love with Ao Jin at first sight, and his current reaction was exactly the same as the original owner’s when he first met Ao Jin.

Could it be that he had fallen in love with the Demon Lord at first sight?

Various thoughts flashed through Gu Juntian’s mind as he struggled to control himself, resisting the urge to impulsively rush out and help.

After all, with his current strength, if he really went out to help, he would only be adding to Haotian’s troubles.

In the original plot, Haotian would reveal his true form today, and it was related to the original owner.

The original owner had harbored deep hatred for Haotian. Seeing Haotian surrounded and attacked, he rushed out, intending to join forces with the five attackers to take down Haotian.

But he was too weak, and the five didn’t see him as an ally. Instead, they turned their attacks on him. If it weren’t for Haotian saving him, he would have died on the spot.

It was precisely because Haotian had to save him that he was injured by the five and ultimately revealed his true form.

If he didn’t go out, though…

The place where Gu Juntian was currently staying was Haotian’s luxurious jade bed.

The bed was surrounded by arrays, making it impossible for those people to directly attack him while he was on it.

Gu Juntian watched the battle nervously from the bed.

However, Demon Lord Haotian, Zhou Qinghao’s anger grew fiercer and fiercer.

These people had turned his cave into a complete mess!

Originally, due to the recent cold weather, Zhou Qinghao had been feeling too lazy to move.

But after those people threw all sorts of messy things at him, he became furious.

His eyes turned into vertical slits, glowing with the ruthlessness unique to cold-blooded creatures. At the same time, his power surged, and a thick, black tail suddenly appeared, lashing out at the five attackers.

In an instant, the five were crushed into pulp by his long tail.

After killing the annoying pests, Zhou Qinghao turned his head to look at Gu Juntian, who was sitting on the bed.

His partner seemed a bit timid. He wondered if he had been frightened.

Gu Juntian, however, was not frightened, nor did he know that Zhou Qinghao regarded him as a partner.

At this moment, his gaze was completely captivated by Zhou Qinghao’s long tail, unable to look away, and his heartbeat was faster than ever before.

This tail was breathtakingly beautiful.

At this moment, Zhou Qinghao had the upper body of a human and the lower body of a serpent.

His upper half remained human, with only his eyes turning into vertical slits, while his legs had disappeared, replaced by a thick, long serpent’s tail.

The tail was pitch black, its scales dense and smooth, exuding an aura of immense power. Despite having just crushed people to death, it remained spotless, not a trace of blood staining it.

The tail was so mesmerizing that Gu Juntian couldn’t help but want to reach out and touch it.

However, before he could get a good look, Demon Lord Haotian retracted his tail, transforming back into human legs.

Gu Juntian felt a pang of disappointment but quickly realized something was off.

Although Demon Lord Haotian had returned to his human form, he hadn’t conjured pants or shoes. Instead, he stood bare-legged and barefoot on the ground. If it weren’t for his long robe, Gu Juntian might have gotten an unobstructed view of his lower half.

Even with the robe providing some cover, the faint glimpse of those legs instantly triggered a flood of thoughts in Gu Juntian’s mind, filling his head with inappropriate ideas.

Realizing this, Gu Juntian felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Zhou Qinghao was already accustomed to Gu Juntian ignoring him.

With a wave of his hand, thick demonic energy mixed with water swept through the Demon Palace, instantly cleansing it of any traces left by the five intruders.

After finishing this, he walked toward Gu Juntian.

He didn’t restrain the demonic energy around him, and as expected, it brought immense pressure.

But Gu Juntian, standing before him, didn’t feel afraid.

The Demon Lord before him wasn’t wearing pants, and as he walked, a pair of jade-like legs were revealed.

Gu Juntian finally couldn’t help but speak up: “Your Majesty, your pants…”

Zhou Qinghao frowned upon hearing this: “Troublesome.”

His true form was that of a demonic snake. For the first few hundred years, he had lived in his serpent form and had never worn clothes.

Later, for convenience, he took on a human form.

For some reason, he disliked others seeing his body, so like everyone else, he conjured clothes to wear. However, he didn’t actually like the constraints of clothing and even preferred sleeping in his original form.

The person before him was his partner. He didn’t mind this person seeing his body, so there was no need to conjure clothes that made him uncomfortable.

Gu Juntian said, “Even if it’s uncomfortable, you still need to wear pants.”

Zhou Qinghao was somewhat displeased.

He didn’t like being told what to do.

But this person was his partner.

Before, he had already liked this person, and today, the more he looked at him, the more he liked him. He had already decided to make this person his partner forever.

He was born with a defect and couldn’t fully satisfy his partner, but he was immensely powerful and possessed great wealth. Whatever his partner wanted to eat, he could provide. He would surely take good care of him.

Now that his partner had a small request, he might as well comply.

Reluctantly, Zhou Qinghao conjured a pair of pants, stepped onto the jade bed, and stood there, looking down at Gu Juntian: “You’re very warm. Good.”

Gu Juntian was momentarily stunned, and at the same time, he met the gaze of Demon Lord Haotian.

The legendary and notoriously vicious Demon Lord Haotian had a pair of extremely clear eyes.

The dragon clan had always said Ao Jin was a child, but Ao Jin’s eyes were filled with worldly calculations, murky and tainted.

The eyes before him, however, were as pure as a clear spring.

Just moments ago, Gu Juntian had been speechless, unable to understand why the Demon Lord would do something like not wearing pants. But now, he suddenly realized something.

When the original owner had interacted with the Demon Lord, the Demon Lord had always spoken bluntly.

The original owner thought it was because the Demon Lord didn’t take him seriously, but in reality, the Demon Lord might simply not know how to interact with people.

The original owner and the dragon clan had investigated Demon Lord Haotian.

For the first five or six hundred years, he had lived in his original form, hiding and avoiding being eaten.

Later, he occasionally took on a human form, but not often. Most of the time, he still stayed in his cave.

It wasn’t until Demon Lord Chi Lian tried to eat him, and he killed Chi Lian instead, that he became known to the world.

After becoming the Demon Lord, his behavior was extremely peculiar. He always did as he pleased and didn’t even bother to recruit subordinates.

At the time, the dragon clan’s elders had said that he was like this because no one had taught him.

Now, Gu Juntian suddenly realized the impact of this lack of guidance.

Before becoming the Demon Lord, Haotian had lived alone, without family or friends, even seeing himself as a snake. He knew nothing.

After becoming the Demon Lord, no one dared to teach him.

He might still be like a child, unaware of the ways of the world, living only according to his own thoughts.

Just as Gu Juntian was thinking this, the Demon Lord before him spoke: “I like how warm you are. Take off your clothes and hold me while we sleep today.”

The Demon Abyss was too cold, making him reluctant to move.

Fortunately, his partner was warm.

Gu Juntian: “!!!” Hold… hold him while sleeping?
