He was restless in the palace for a few days, unable to think of how to talk to the Demon King. The work the Demon King gave him could be complicated, but only needed him to stay in the palace. Bai Yang couldn’t find an opportune time to escape.

Caught in these kinds of circumstances, Bai Yang’s heart was full of suffering. On one hand, he wanted to quickly send the pill to the Male Lead and quickly finish his mission; on the other hand, he felt guilt and a little fear towards the Demon King.

Think about it. The Demon King had given him that medicine at great cost to himself, only for Bai Yang to defraud him and pass that precious gift to someone else. It was as if, in real life, a spare tire would give a gift to a goddess, only for her to pass it along to her domineering boyfriend… fuck, that’s so scummy!

“Xiao Ling, I’ve realized I’m a bad person,” Bai Yang said. His conscience felt tight.

“This is the 120th time you’ve told me that,” Xiao Ling said helplessly. “Sir, remember that if you want to become successful, you can’t bother with trivial matters like this. To achieve your goals, you must pay the price and do things that you may not want to do. If you’re too influenced by the ethics of the outside world and change your mind all the time, you won’t be suitable as a company leader.”

Bai Yang was torn. “I never wanted to be one in the first place! The company will go to my brother!”

“But Sir,” said Xiao Ling, “don’t forget your older brother is unconscious in a hospital bed right now. In order to make something of yourself, your father spent ten million yuan to send you here. Sir, how can you let him down by not doing the job? Furthermore, it was the Demon King who forced you to take the pill. You shouldn’t feel any guilt in doing what you want with it.”

Bai Yang: “…”

Xiao Ling’s tone became strict. “Sir, I will remind you one more time that everything you have experienced so far is virtual. It’s not real. The person you’re feeling guilty for betraying doesn’t even exist. He’s nothing but virtual data. Furthermore, all the internal struggles and choices you’ve experienced are tests given to you by the system, and trials you must face within this world. Please think clearly, Sir.”

Bai Yang mulled it over in silence.

After a long time, he finally sighed. “I’m sorry. I lost control of my emotions.”

Xiao Ling’s tone softened. “Sir, it’s normal to feel guilty the first time. But you can’t forget your goal. To reach it, you must be willing to do anything.”

Bai Yang smiled bitterly. “Nevermind if I’m willing to do anything or not. To be human, there are things you shouldn’t do.”

Xiao Ling sighed. “Sir…”

“Forget it,” said Bai Yang. “Let’s stop talking about this.”

Who knew how angry the Demon King would be if he found out.

From now on, Bai Yang would fulfill his duties as best as he could. It would be his repayment to the Demon King.

Those thoughts in mind, Bai Yang paid more attention to his work as the Guard Commander, fully accepting his responsibilities. All of the guard officers were surprised by this sudden change. What kind of medicine had he suddenly started taking?

Then, the Demon King called for Bai Yang to come to the main hall, so he went.

“Why has Your Highness summoned this subordinate?”
