The Demon King glanced at him, and from that one glance, Bai Yang was able to decipher the message of ‘You don’t have to explain, I already understand’. Bai Yang suddenly felt incomprehensible glory.
“Fine, you can leave first.” The Almighty Demon King said, as though he didn’t want to look into the matter any further.
Bai Yang knew he wouldn’t be able to explain it to him, and also didn’t feel like explaining, so he left.
The people in the palace already arranged for him to rest in a different palace. With the Demon King recovered, he only needed to stay for one more night before returning to the Palace of Eternal Darkness.
The Demon King’s words troubled Bai Yang immensely and caused him to be immeasurably shocked.
In the past, he felt that the Demon King was above others with cold arrogance like the moon far in the horizon. He was unattainable, unreachable, like a fairy unaffected by mortal matters. However, after several meetings, Bai Yang realized that the Demon King was a self-confident narcissist. Once he decided on something, nine bulls couldn’t pull him back.
People will always have flaws, so once a character has flaws, they seem more realistic.
Bai Yang had fully realized that the Demon King was also made of flesh and blood. He was fully capable of making mistakes, lying, acting shameless, and being narcissistic. He wasn’t as scary and great as Bai Yang once imagined.
His previous impression from the TV show had slowly collapsed.
Bai Yang felt that he needed to reacquaint himself with the Demon King…
Wait, wait, why do I need to reacquaint myself with him?
He’s only a big NPC, a set of data. How is he worthy enough to pay attention to?
Bai Yang shook his head, swinging the Demon King out of his mind.
If he misunderstood, then he misunderstood. So far, it seemed like the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, anyway.
As he walked out of the hall, Xiao Ling suddenly spoke, “You still haven’t completed your daily task!”
Oh right, I almost forgot.
Bai Yang hit his head and couldn’t help but sigh.
Looking around, he didn’t see even one beauty. When the Demon King left for battle, he only brought along the army, and didn’t bring any women. The Demon King’s Qi deviation led to him refusing to let people see him, so they didn’t see his problem. Thus, very few people were by his side to take care of him. There weren’t many people left in the palace, and the people there&#k2026; they weren’t very pretty.
So the situation was a little awkward. In order to complete his task, he had to harass a beautiful person. However, besides the Demon King of Eternal Night, there was only Li Yu, who doesn’t seem to like Bai Yang very much. Over the past few days, he’d been going out during the day and randomly picking people to harass. However, it was late, so he probably wouldn’t be able to leave the palace.
“Xiao Ling, how about I just randomly pick someone to harass?” A crude-looking old woman came into Bai Yang’s view.
Bai Yang imagined himself harassing her, but shuddered at the thought.
“Sir, the daily task was the system gifting you points. If you don’t wholeheartedly complete your task, the system may stop giving you points.” Xiao Ling sounded unhappy.
Bai Yang felt helpless. “It’s so late, where can I go to find a beauty?
“Beauties definitely exist, it only depends on whether or not you’re willing to search. I know that Sir is reluctant to complete this task, but Xie Ze Tian was originally a pervert. You haven’t even touched your harem. If you don’t even sexually harass people now, are you asking to be assassinated by the system?”
Seeing that Xiao Ling would probably continue lecturing, Bai Yang begged for mercy, “Alright, alright, I know.”
Bai Yang thought for a moment, and remembered that the Western Demon Lord’s Palace should have many beauties. The Demon King of Eternal Night had gathered up the Western Demon Lord with his harem members and placed them in another palace. Thus, as long as Bai Yang walked over there and randomly picked one of the imperial concubines, he would be able to finish his daily task.
Bai Yang praised his own resourcefulness.
The sky blackened, the clouds covered the moon, and the wind blew strong, It was the perfect moment for petty crime.
With the Demon King inside the palace, Bai Yang didn’t dare to reach out his magic senses to search the area. Instead, he remembered the general direction he’d heard during the day and started walking.
Soon, he arrived at the palace. The palace’s gates had more people guarding it than guarding the Demon King. This is only natural because they were guarding criminals.
Seeing Bai Yang, those guards rushed forward and respectfully said, “Lord Xie.”
Bai Yang straightened his face, “I’m here to look at the West Demon Lord and check whether there’s a problem.”
Since Xie Ze Tian was the Demon King of Eternal Night’s most trusted subordinate, the guard wasn’t suspicious at all. “Lord Xie, this way please.”
Then he opened the gate and let Bai Yang enter.
Bai Yang walked into the palace and saw a group of people tied up into a line by rope. They were tightly bound and left in the center of the palace hall. Most of them were women, and a few men in the group. From their attire, they were probably the Western Demon Lord’s imperial concubines.
Upon seeing Bai Yang enter, they were so frightened they started to tremble.
Bai Yang wore his best evil smile, and said to those men and women, “What are you so scared for? I’m not going to hurt you.”
The Western Demon Lord’s harem consisted of both women and men, each gender making up half of the group. Every single one of them were peerless beauties with scarlet lips and snow-white skin.
The Demon Realm was very open. They didn’t care if you preferred men or women. Isn’t Xie Ze Tian also scum who eats both men and women?
Bai Yang was clear on his purpose. Since he came to harass beauties, Bai Yang walked toward a beautiful woman. He bent down to caress the woman’s chin, and, with a regretful tone, he said: “It’s a pity that such a young and beautiful girl like you will die so soon.”
Then, he touched her cheek and he said in almost a whisper, “You have such smooth skin, large eyes, and a pointed nose… Look at how pretty you are, yet why didn’t you do better? Why did you have to be the imperial concubine of the Western Demon Lord?”
Xiao Ling said in his mind, “Sir, when you sexually harass people why do you only have one line? ‘Your skin is so smooth and white’… Can’t you change it up a little? I’m sick of hearing it.”
Bai Yang was speechless. “I harass people because I need to complete my task, yet you want me to be so fancy as to change it up? Is there such a system like you?”
Xiao Ling said, “Sir, as a manager you need to learn to be innovative. If you always do the same thing, people will find you annoying.”
Bai Yang: “… Innovation isn’t used for something like this, right?”
“Everything can be innovated. Sir, don’t limit your imagination. Jack Ma once said that innovation is a company’s largest production. Everywhere can be innovated, everything can be innovated. You should change up the way you harass beauties, change to new methods, change to different auras…”
Bai Yang: “…”
“… Wait, wait!” Bai Yang interrupted, “Jack Ma said that?”
“Yes.” Xiao Ling was resolute, “If Jack Ma said it, it must be true.”
Bai Yang: “…”
He seemed to have returned to the era of Jack Ma pairing up friend groups.
“Forget it. It’s already done.” Bai Yang let go of the woman’s chin and straightened his back with the intention of leaving. He turned around to find that the guard who followed him in had a surprised look on his face.
When Bai Yang saw his expression, he stopped.
Oh no, this is terrible. I used the excuse of inspecting the area to get in, but then I went directly to harass a girl. If I leave immediately after harassing her, it would be inexcusable.
He needed to at least make a show of actually inspecting the hostages.
