C2 Time to Drink

I said to Fu Sheng just now that I don't remember the past.

In fact, for some things, forgetting is a luxury.

If one were to talk about the past of the Demon Lord, it had been too long. The only thing he could remember was the beginning of ten thousand years ago.

What past? It was just a story now...

"You're awake? You're finally awake." A girl with a peaceful look stood up from the side of the bed. Through the layers of curtains, I forcefully opened my eyes. My entire body was sore to the point of numbness.

The only maid in Empyrean Pavilion, Yunxi, saw that I had opened my eyes and opened my mouth to call the medicine master in. I frowned and shook my head. I reached out and grabbed her sleeve, signaling her not to make a sound.

It seemed to be in the afternoon, and the strong sunlight outside the window shone through the carved window onto the headboard of the bed. The fragrance of the Mao Ning Grass outside wafted into the room, causing me to be in a daze - Looking at everything familiar in my Empyrean Pavilion, my consciousness was clearly still at the moment before I fainted when I saw the Demon Emperor in black rushing to the blood pool.

"Yunxi, how did I come back?"

At this moment, I was curled up in a ball under the soft blanket, casually asking Wanqing about what happened after I fainted. I had already regained my consciousness, but I didn't want to get up. I just wanted to take advantage of the fact that I was injured and fainted to take a good nap.

"What else do you want to say? I heard from the guards over there that you left the Dome Hall that day with a sword in your hand. Unfortunately, right Patronus hasn't returned yet, and no one came forward to stop you. I reckon that the one in the Dome Hall is also furious at you, and no one dares to go in and persuade him. Later on, Right Patronus heard from the guard who ran back from the blood pool that you had barged in alone, which was why she came to report to Demon Emperor. Lord Demon Emperor was so anxious that he flew over without even bringing his weapon. I heard from Right Patronus that when they rushed to the blood pool, the Demon Emperor had already brought you out, and you even killed the Red Scaled Dragon yourself... But if it wasn't for the Demon Emperor arriving in time, you probably wouldn't have been able to come out!"

I was wondering whether I should go back to sleep when I heard the servants saluting outside.

The carved wooden door was pushed open and the Demon Emperor strode in. Yunxi immediately shut her mouth and stood up to pay her respects. The embroidered blanket and the bed beneath me were really too soft. I took advantage of the situation and shrank down a little. After giving Yunxi a look, I pretended to be asleep.

Demon Emperor Zhuochen walked to the bedside and waved his hand to signal Yunxi to be quiet. Even without opening his eyes, I knew that he was staring at me.

"Why aren't you awake yet?"

Yunxi lowered her head and stood at the side. She then realized that the Demon Emperor was asking her, "Ah... Ah, yes. The Demon Lord's injuries were too severe... However, Medicine Master said that he would wake up in the next two days. "

There was a long silence.

" Too serious? "I, the Demon Sovereign, instinctively heard that the Demon Emperor's tone was a little strange.

" Yes. "

Even though I was covered in wounds from the scales of the Red Scaled Dragon, there were only two wounds that were deep enough to see the bones, and they were already starting to close. They were not as serious as Yunxi had said, but since Yunxi had already spoken, she could only bite the bullet and continue.

"The Demon Lord's entire body is covered in cuts from being struck by the scales of the Red Scaled Dragon, and there are heavy injuries on his lower left rib and vital points on his back. He must have been ambushed in the chaos!"

I only heard the Demon Emperor say:

"Serves you right!"

"You can leave first. Since Medicine Master said that he would wake up in two days, I will personally watch over him."

Yunxi would definitely wait for these words, put down the ointment that she had been holding in her hand, and ran away. I was so angry that I was thinking about how to deal with her in the future so that she would know the principle of "not fearing power."

But before I could finish with the little girl who had run away, I felt a familiar breath from above, followed by a chuckle... God knows how I wanted to open my eyes and slap her.

Maybe it was because he had just come in from the sun, but the aura on his body was no longer cold and oppressive like the one in black. Instead, it was a kind of warmth that made people feel relieved.

Demon Emperor lowered his head and looked for a while. The pale face and dry lips of the person on the bed were all so calm. Only his two eyelashes could not help but tremble slightly back and forth... Seeing this, he chuckled again.

The light that had been at the end of the bed slipped into the pillow. Zhuochen stopped talking and sat up straight. He gently covered his face with his right hand. His wide palm curved and covered most of my face. Congratulations! My face, which had lost a lot of blood, finally turned red.

He knew that he would be seen through if he pretended to be asleep, but he didn't expect himself to be in such an awkward position. He wanted to cry, but no tears would come.

The Demon Emperor leaned against the head of the bed and stroked the messy hair on my forehead with his left hand, "Stop messing around. Let's sleep for a while longer."

After a while, a smiling voice buried in my ear and added, "There's no need to rush to deal with you. I'll settle the score with you after I recover. Rest well now. Don't be afraid."

My ears were itchy because of the wind. I tried to hide under the quilt to get rid of the embarrassment, but the hand that covered my eyes didn't move away.

After a few more breaths of time, there was a rustling sound of flipping of a book from above. Immediately, he felt a strange feeling in his heart. He actually felt that this scene was extremely similar to an elder coaxing a child... However, not everyone could enjoy the treatment of a dignified Demon Emperor blocking the light with his hand. His injuries had yet to heal, and when he woke up, he was also very tired. Unknowingly, he fell asleep in this warmth.

Zhuochen took out a small bottle from his body and poured some medicinal foam into his hand. With a wave of his hand, he sprinkled the powder between the Demon Lord's nose and mouth. After making sure that he couldn't wake up, he took the ointment that Right Patronus had placed on the table and opened it...

When I opened my eyes again, Demon Emperor had already left. The sun had set in the west, and my Empyrean Pavilion had been dyed a frosty red. Although he didn't sleep as long as he did a few days ago, it was much better than when he usually woke up after a short nap.

Yunxi heard the sound of the door being pushed open and entered the room.

"Sir, you're awake!" Yunxi is the only servant that I have kept for more than four thousand years since I became the Demon Lord. She is a capable and decent person. She is the one who takes care of everything inside and outside the Empyrean Pavilion. I have never liked people.

Seeing that she wanted to get up and move her muscles and bones after entering, Yunxi quickly stepped forward to support me. It was only when I got down that I noticed the difference in the wounds on my body.

She had been awake, but her whole body was in pain, and her head was spinning. Now that she was awake, she could smell the faint scent of medicine in her room. It was comforting.

Stepping down from the ground, she half leaned on Yunxi as she walked to the window and sat down. At the right time, she brought a cup of tea over. When the slightly hot tea entered her mouth, the heat slid down her throat and into her stomach. It was an indescribably strange feeling, but when she opened her mouth again, the previous hoarseness was gone.

"How many days have I been unconscious?"

I have always understood the principle that no matter how arrogant you are, there has to be a limit. The Red Scaled Dragon has lived in the blood pool for tens of thousands of years, and for me, a Demon Lord who will be in office for less than five thousand years, to kill him is already an overestimation of my own strength. It's also because my face looks too small that I tricked the Red Scaled Dragon into underestimating me.

... "My lord, you have been asleep for almost a month."

It seemed that he didn't know himself well enough.

"Fine. Bring some water in for toilet." I sighed to myself and thought back to the Demon Emperor's "account book" before I went to sleep. It had been almost a month, and I didn't like the feeling of owing something. Although he wanted to wait for me to "recover," I thought that if there really was any punishment, I would have received it earlier. The biggest advantage of my body is that as long as I wake up, I won't faint easily again.

The outside of the Empyrean Pavilion was filled with the medicinal herbs I planted. I don't know anything about medicine. At this moment, I was leaning against the wall, and a few small purple flowers were blooming under the window.

Yunxi brought in some water, "Sir, may I ask if you are going out?"

"Yes." I was a little puzzled. If I didn't go out, why would I need to drag my injured body and wash up? I first hastily washed my face. "What? I can't go out?"

I was just joking, but who knew that Yunxi's expression would suddenly change.

I can't stand people around me acting like they don't know whether to say something or not. I frowned and threw the handkerchief in my hand into the basin. "What's going on?"

When she saw that I was angry, she didn't dare to hide anything anymore. "The Demon Emperor has ordered that you are not allowed to walk out of the Empyrean Pavilion. This order was given to you a month ago when I sent you back, and he didn't say when he would let you out. The Demon Emperor set up an obstacle at the door. Now, you can't even go to the garden outside."

..." "Zhuochen!
