"Who—who likes you!"
Xi Yao glared at him, but for once, she didn’t swat away Chen Xiaobei’s lecherous hand as she usually would. In fact, her little vermilion lips even curled up slightly, a clear sign that she was a little happy.
After all, Xi Yao had been imprisoned for 10,000 years; her thinking wasn’t as worldly as that of people from the modern era. Monts ago, Chen Xiaobei had forcefully dragged Qiu Xingcai away, and Xi Yao had assud he was going to have his way with her. But that obviously wasn’t the case!
Xi Yao might kill without blinking, but she wasn’t an emotionless creature. Sensing Chen Xiaobei’s concern, the coldness on her face finally began to thaw.
Seeing his chance, Chen Xiaobei quickly struck while the iron was hot. "Honestly, I don’t think you need to hide it. If you like soone, just say it. It’s that simple!"
"Besides, this young master has already been enough of a scumbag for the sake of leveling up, so I don’t mind taking you in as well!"
Leaning close to Xi Yao’s ear, Chen Xiaobei teased, "Don’t think I don’t know what you were doing while I was unconscious. That chafing must’ve been pretty uncomfortable, huh? How about I help you get so proper relief?"
"Chen Xiaobei!!!"
Xi Yao was so furious she felt like she would explode. That was the last thing she wanted to talk about; the incident made her feel utterly humiliated.
The great Demon Realm Queen, rubbing herself against a man from the Mortal World... If word of that got out, the entire universe would laugh itself to death.
At this thought, Xi Yao clenched her delicate fists and lunged at Chen Xiaobei, claws out. But suddenly—
"MMPH!"
Chen Xiaobei shoved a popsicle into her mouth.
"Co on, I was just joking. Is there any need to get this angry?" he said, rolling his eyes at her. "Hurry up and eat it before it lts!"
"Get lost!"
Xi Yao’s delicate body trembled. She desperately wanted to smash the popsicle on his head. But she had to admit, the popsicle tasted really, really good. It was full of milky flavor and had a cooling effect that imdiately soothed her agitated mood.
Giving up, Xi Yao decided to ignore him and leaned against a rock to eat her popsicle. The sight was incredibly enticing. Her little pink tongue darted out, continuously licking the surface of the popsicle, making Chen Xiaobei hot and bothered.
But Chen Xiaobei knew now was not the ti to make a move on Xi Yao. She only has a favorable impression of right now. We’re still a million miles away from that selfless kind of love.
"Eat slowly, no one’s going to steal it," Chen Xiaobei chuckled, then said seriously, "If that’s not enough, I can get you another one. By the way, Xi Yao, my left eye feels a bit strange. Everything looks blurry. Can you take a look and see what’s wrong?"
As he spoke, he leaned his face closer.
"Stay away from ." Xi Yao thought he was trying to steal a lick of her popsicle and quickly hid it behind her back. Then, her gaze locked onto his face.
The next second, it felt as if her mind exploded. "How... how is this possible?" she cried out. At the sa ti, the popsicle fell from her hand and clattered to the ground.
This scared Chen Xiaobei half to death; he thought he might have contracted so terminal illness. But then, Xi Yao suddenly shoved him, pinning him against a large rock. She pressed her face so close to his they were almost kissing.
"It really is the Nine Nether Eyes," she exclaid in shock. "But how is that possible?"
The Nine Nether Eyes are a Special Ability unique to the Demon Clan, with an awakening rate of only one in a million. How could a re mortal like him awaken such a thing? And it’s a Red Pupil, no less... This—
"Hey, what’s gotten into you? You’re acting so weird." Chen Xiaobei hurriedly pushed her away. "Are these Nine Nether Eyes you’re talking about really powerful?" he asked curiously. "Also, what do you an by Red Pupil? Are there other colors?"
Prompted by her words, Chen Xiaobei suddenly noticed that her own pupils were purple. They sparkled like stars in the night sky and were exceptionally beautiful.
At this, Xi Yao also cald down and began to explain. "Due to our bloodline, we in the Demon Clan can awaken innate Special Abilities while practicing our Cultivation Techniques. And of all the Special Abilities, the Nine Nether Eyes are the most mysterious and powerful!
"According to Demon Clan literature, they are divided into six colors: orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple! Each color of the Nether Eye grants a different effect. For example, the orange eye can see through yin and yang, while the purple eye can pierce the heavens.
"The reason my Nine Heavens Demon-Vanquishing Technique is the most powerful in the Three Realms is because I used my purple Nether Eye to comprehend the profound mysteries of the heavens. That is how I mastered it. This is also part of the reason The Nine Supre Immortal Masters imprisoned in the Dragon Locking Formation! The Celestial Clan cannot awaken Special Abilities, so they were fundantally afraid of ."
At that mont, Xi Yao clasped her hands behind her back and gazed at the sky, her aloof aura giving her the air of one who could look down upon the world, utterly unrivaled. It was just a pity she wasn’t wearing a single decent piece of clothing. Despite her regal pose, the overall effect was still absurdly comical.
Even so, Chen Xiaobei was srized. He followed up on what she had said. "You just ntioned that the Nine Nether Eyes only have six colors, but mine is red. What’s the deal with that?"
"That’s exactly what I was about to say!" Xi Yao’s expression grew grim. "According to the ancient records of the Ancient Demon Clan, there is a special case among the Nine Nether Eyes—the Red Pupil! For people like us, whatever we awaken is what we’re stuck with; it’s immutable. But the Red Pupil is different.
"It can be upgraded. After reaching the purple stage, it can even fuse into an eighth color. What it becos after that, however, I do not know. Throughout the entire history of the Demon Clan, no one has ever awakened the Red Pupil. It exists only in legends.
"It is said that the one who awakens the Red Pupil will not only bring about a revival of the Demon Clan but will also completely change the laws of the Three Realms!"
At this point, Xi Yao’s teeth chattered, her eyes filled with a mixture of disbelief and envy toward Chen Xiaobei. She then murmured to herself, But that can’t be right... The Nine Nether Eyes are a Special Ability unique to our Demon Clan. How could he possibly awaken them? It couldn’t be pink eye, could it?
The adorable Xi Yao pouted and went right ahead, prying Chen Xiaobei’s eye open. Her expression was filled with such greed and jealousy that Chen Xiaobei broke out in a cold sweat, terrified that she might just pluck his eyeball out and install it in her own socket.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Chen Xiaobei quickly pushed her away and said smugly, "Alright, stop looking. If I can awaken the Red Pupil, it just proves how aweso I am! Think about it! You waited here for 10,000 years and no one saw you, but the mont this young master walked in, I stumbled right upon you. So, like I said, I’m just that aweso. There’s no need to be jealous!"
"Wahahaha!"
"Chen Xiaobei, can’t you be serious for once?" Xi Yao was exasperated. Her expression turned solemn. "No, sothing isn’t right. I’m starting to suspect that you might not be human. Perhaps you’re a descendant of our Demon Clan. I think I need to examine you."
"How are you going to examine ?" Chen Xiaobei was full of curiosity. After all, his adoptive father had found him in a mountain ravine as a baby, and he had never known where he ca from or who his biological parents were.
If I’m really a descendant of the Demon Clan, then things are about to get interesting.
"Very simple!" Xi Yao pointed at Chen Xiaobei’s crotch and commanded, "Take off your pants!"
