The instant Bai Tian Tian reverted to her true form, Mo Fan sobered up completely.
How to describe that feeling?
It was as thrilling as thrilling gets!
He tried to flee but failed, only to be trapped instead by Bai Tian Tian. Mo Fan felt like crying yet no tears would come.
In a flash, the enormous white serpent she had become coiled around his entire body. Staring at that ferocious snake head dangling just inches away, Mo Fan’s scalp went numb.
It was not that he was truly terrified; it was an instinctive rejection.
In this life, he was a toad, and snakes were his natural predator!
This was the real reason he had never dared to make a move on Bai Tian Tian, no matter how many times he had been tempted.
Of course, right now there was an even bigger reason for his scalp to tingle: just when he had tried to take advantage of the alcohol and force himself upon her, right as things were getting to the crucial moment, the beauty in his arms had turned into a giant snake.
Who wouldn’t be scared stiff by that?
Still, Mo Fan did not struggle with full force. With his strength, breaking free from Bai Tian Tian would not be difficult, but it would most likely injure her, and that was the last thing he wanted.
“Wooow! That’s wild!!”
“As expected of our Great King, playing so boldly!”
Watching the two demon kings on the platform suddenly switch attacker and defender, the crowd of melon-eating demons below instantly started cheering.
“Good grief! So Toad King doesn’t fancy the spirit form; he insists on conquering her true form?”
Somewhere down below, You Er sat with Red Eyes, Er Ha, Cha Cha, and a few others, staring in shock at the scene on stage.
“What’s so great about the spirit form?”
“That’s just a human shape. We demons don’t care for it!”
“A real male conquers true form with true form, experiencing the most primal and natural wild beauty!”
Er Ha snorted coldly, thinking You Er had clearly spent too long among humans and now had completely different tastes from real demons like them.
Yet the moment those words left his mouth, Red Eyes, Cha Cha, and the rest all turned in unison to stare at him.
The next instant, every demon shuffled one step away from Er Ha, keeping their distance.
“That’s not wild beauty, that’s unleashing your inner beast!”
Mister Pig commented critically, then grinned. “Personally, I still think human women are the prettiest because they’re nice and petite!”
“That’s why you’re doomed to remain a pig!”
“What can you even do with petite? They break after a few rounds!”
Er Ha showed no mercy in his contempt.
“This round I’m with Er Ha. Only our demon females are worthy of male demon cultivators like us!”
“Human women are only fit to be served at banquets!”
Leopard Head grinned, revealing a cruel smile.
“Do you lot ever think about anything besides females?”
“Don’t forget, we’re demons on the path to immortality!”
“In my view, neither human nor demon females are attractive. Cultivation is the supreme path!”
At that moment, a young voice suddenly rang out, instantly drawing every demon’s attention.
“Who’s that?”
“Which bastard is talking nonsense here?”
“We demons already suffer enough every day. If we didn’t have females to relieve the boredom, how could we endure this dull life?”
The demons looked around menacingly for the speaker but couldn’t find him.
“No need to search, I’m right here!”
A three-inch-tall creature with transparent wings stepped out from behind Red Eyes’ rabbit ear and waved at the crowd.
It was none other than the Treasure-Seeking Camp commander, Three-Inch Nail!
“Oh, it’s just you, little Three-Inch!”
Er Ha rolled his eyes, instantly losing interest. “No wonder you’re not interested in females. With your size, finding one would be tough. Life really is hard for you!”
“Hey!”
“No need for personal attacks based on true form!”
“Once this commander breaks through to the king realm, I’ll be as big as the rest of you!”
Three-Inch Nail immediately shouted in fury.
But he was simply too tiny to arouse any real interest from the assembled commanders.
Below the high platform, Black Robe watched the two demons on stage with some envy and muttered, “So that’s what the Great King likes?”
“Black Robe, what did you say?”
A figure in black flew over from afar, startling Black Robe into quickly looking away. He turned to White Robe and waved his hands. “N-nothing.”
White Robe gave Black Robe a puzzled glance, then looked up at the dramatic scene on the platform, shook his head helplessly, and said, “Those two are natural-born predators of each other. They’re destined not to become a pair.”
“Huh?”
“Why not?”
“Sister Tian Tian seems perfect!”
Black Robe was shocked and looked at White Robe in confusion.
“You wouldn’t understand. Both the Great King and Bai Tian Tian are extremely proud. Demons like them would never willingly become someone else’s appendage.
Moreover, Bai Tian Tian’s background is mysterious. Those human Golden Core cultivators who attacked last time came for her, which means she still carries an untold story.
Until those matters are resolved, she cannot calm her heart enough to start a relationship.
As for the Great King, he’s the type with lust but no snake guts.
I always feel he’s hiding many secrets and surely harbours unknown fears deep inside.
So although the Great King and Bai Tian Tian appear perfectly matched, in reality they are merely confidants, at least for now.”
White Robe spoke eloquently, then looked at Black Robe and sighed softly. “Black Robe, the Great King is excellent, but his destiny is too radiant. That may not be good for you!”
“Brother, I don’t quite understand what you mean,” Black Robe said, frowning. “Why is having strong destiny a bad thing?”
“Everything in the world both creates and restrains one another.
Strong destiny can indeed attract many wonderful things, but precisely because of that, it also attracts many terrible things.
As the saying goes, the greater the opportunity, the greater the danger. They complement each other.
The Great King is indeed dazzling, but because he shines so brightly, he is in even greater peril!
He possesses the power of a holy son yet lacks the true backing of a holy king. That is extremely dangerous!
The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind!”
White Robe sighed lightly, his feelings rather complicated.
At first, Mo Fan had indeed been the best choice he made for his sister, but he had never expected Mo Fan to cause so much trouble. Although he had now reached the demon king realm, he had made far too many enemies, leaving White Robe uneasy.
As a corpse ghost, he could only serve Mo Fan loyally and had no choice.
But Black Robe was different. He did not want Black Robe to fall for Mo Fan, at least not now.
White Robe’s words left Black Robe frowning in thought for a long time, yet he still couldn’t fully grasp them. He simply clenched his teeth and declared, “No matter what happens in the future, I will stand firmly by the Great King’s side!”
“…”
White Robe was speechless. All that talking had been for nothing.
But as a corpse ghost, he could not speak too plainly, so in the end he could only sigh in resignation.
On the high platform, Bai Tian Tian finally released Mo Fan, reverted to her spirit form, the blush gone from her face. She looked at him calmly and said coldly, “Sober now?”
“Uh… yes.” Mo Fan hurriedly nodded.
“Good.”
Bai Tian Tian nodded, a flash of disappointment flickering through her eyes.
