It took them about three or four days to reach the Palace of Eternal Darkness. They’d just passed through the gates of the main hall when Hua Feihua, who’d been left in charge, dashed out. “Your Highness, you finally returned.”

If not for his voice, Bai Yang almost couldn’t tell which of the Demon Kings in front of him was the real one and which one was fake.

Hua Feihua was one of the most skilled practitioners of illusionary magic in the Demon Realm and his Demon King act had no flaws. If the Demon King had to leave for personal matters, he would often have Hua Feihua pretend to be him and leave him in charge at the Palace of Eternal Darkness.

Hua Feihua was visibly stressed from pretending to be the Demon King. Fortunately, nothing really important happened recently. As he spoke, he discreetly swept his gaze over Bai Yang. The curiosity in his eyes was clear.

“You’ve worked hard.” The Demon King clapped him on the shoulder and motioned for Bai Yang to follow him into the palace hall.

Hua Feihua was quite satisfied after receiving praise. He lifted his illusion and returned to wearing women’s clothing.

Then he glanced at Bai Yang. “What did his Highness and Lord Xie go out for this time?”

Bai Yang looked towards the Demon King.

The Demon King trusted Hua Feihua and told him the truth. “We went on a trip to FireThorn City to rid Zetian of the Rebirth Gu.”

“So it turns out Lord Xie had a Rebirth Gu inside him?” Hua Feihua exclaimed.

He turned to face Bai Yang and said in a bitter and envious tone, “Lord Xie, his Highness is truly good to you.”

Bai Yang coughed, a little embarrassed, and avoided his probing gaze.

“Did you do anything other than curing the poison?” Hua Feihua asked, suspicious, his white forehead slightly tensed.

“Besides curing the poison, what else could we have done?” Bai Yang was confused.

Hua Feihua turned and swept his gaze over Bai Yang’s and the Demon King’s bodies. Then, like a dog, he took a sniff. “This scent isn’t right. You definitely did something else. Don’t try to hide it from me.”

Realizing what he was referring to, Bai Yang immediately became extremely embarrassed. Shit, is this person a dog?

Then he remembered Hua Feihua was the head of the intelligence organization so of course it would be difficult to hide anything from him. Sooner or later, Hua Feihua would figure out what happened between him and the Demon King.

However, Bai Yang didn’t want it to be discovered so soon. He still wanted to salvage the situation.

After living in this world and dealing with the Demon King for so long, Bai Yang had perfected the ability to lie with a straight face. So even though his heart was pounding in his chest, his face remained calm.

“While we were on the road, we ate some snake meat. That must be the odor you’re smelling.”

Hua Feihua shook his head. “Indeed, there is the smell of snake meat, but there is another stronger smell…. It seems to be your bodies’…. Weird, it’s both of your individual scents, but how did they get mixed together and why is it so strong?”

He seemed unable to understand and he lifted his head to ask Bai Yang, “What did you guys do?”

Bai Yang’s heart rate rose, and he internally screamed: Please stop asking!
