The Demon King is an Idiot [BL]-Chapter 137: What if we don’t catch him?

"You don’t need to thank me," The master of curses smiled as he spoke, "It is my choice to stay beside you and... I love you so it is only natural that I support you in every way that I could."

Jie Fu Lian gulped, his mind instantly going blank as he heard the latter sentence. The scary thought had come true.

The relationship between the master of curses and Jin Long was much more complicated than what they had guessed...!

As if to further confirm this, Jin Long pulled the master of curses closer and kissed him without any hesitance. The movement was so natural that it seemed as if they had done it a thousand times before.

Jie Fu Lian finally understood what Jin Shifeng meant when she said she would never be chosen over the master of curses.

Jie Fu Lian’s whole body stiffened and he gulped as he wondered what to do next. It felt weird to keep watching and at the same time he couldn’t just turn around and walk away when both Jin Long and the master of curses were right here in front of him.

In the end, Jie Fu Lian stood there spying on the two with a complicated expression plastered on his face. Hua Tianshu was also not any better.

Half an hour passed just like that and Jie Fu Lian started to sweat a little. The master of curses and Jin Long neither stopped nor realized that they were being watched.

When Jin Long took off his clothes, Jie Fu Lian impulsively closed his eyes as he mentally prayed for himself to be found out.

In the end, Hua Tianshu could no longer keep watching and cleared his throat as he leaned in closer to Jie Fu Lian’s ears and whispered, "We should go in and arrest them."

Jie Fu Lian flinched as he felt Hua Tianshu’s hot breath tickling his neck.

He snapped his head towards the man and immediately shook his head as he spoke, "We can’t. I don’t want to go in there."

Hua Tianshu blinked in confusion as he heard this, "Then do you want to keep watching?"

Jie Fu Lian gulped as he heard this question and clicked his tongue as he thought about it for a minute before speaking, "I think we should just give them some space."

"..." Hua Tianshu looked a little speechless as he heard this and kept staring at Jie Fu Lian as if waiting for the man to explain himself.

Jie Fu Lian scratched the back of his neck and awkwardly chuckled as he spoke, "We can come back later when they are done. It feels awkward to arrest them like this."

"..."

"I mean, if I were in his shoes, I would also not want to be disturbed!" Jie Fu Lian quickly added, defending himself.

Hua Tianshu pursed his lips and his eyes narrowed down on Jie Fu Lian, looking rather unimpressed. He slowly leaned in closer and with his face directly next to Jie Fu Lian’s face, he whispered as he asked, "Then what do you want to do now?"

Jie Fu Lian gulped as he blankly looked at Hua Tianshu.

Hua Tianshu’s lips curled up in a smug smirk as he saw Jie Fu Lian’s reddened cheeks. He opened his mouth to say something but just then, they heard the master of curses moaning in delight.

"..."

Hua Tianshu and Jie Fu Lian looked at each other with their cheeks blushing red and together, without saying anything further, they came to a conclusion that it was best for them to turn around and leave for now.

However, as Jie Fu Lian turned around and started walking away, he stepped on a dry branch stick that immediately broke in two with a loud ’crack’.

Jie Fu Lian helplessly raised his head to look at Hua Tianshu who was looking back at him in disbelief.

"Who is there?!" Jin Long roared and Jie Fu Lian could no longer walk away.

Jie Fu Lian took a deep breath in and straightened his back as he chuckled, "That would be me."

Jie Fu Lian had his back turned to Jin Long and while Jin Long focused on him, Hua Tianshu used the chance to hide behind a fat tree.

Jin Long quickly pulled back up his robes and glared at the stranger’s back as he questioned, "Who the hell are you?!"

Jie Fu Lian smiled as he heard this question and slowly turned around, without saying anything.

Jin Long took a look at Jie Fu Lian’s face and once again questioned, "Who are you?"

"..." For a second there, Jie Fu Lian had forgotten the fact that he was currently borrowing the demon king’s body.

With a smile on his face, Jie Fu Lian confidently raised his head as he asked, "How can you not know me? Am I not the one you are running from?"

Jin Long’s eyebrows creased together and his eyes dangerously narrowed down on the man.

The smile on Jie Fu Lian’s face deepened, "So what will it be? Would you cooperate and come with me on your own or would you like me to arrest you the old-fashioned way?"

Jin Long gritted his teeth and side-glanced at the master of curses who was also looking back at him.

"You are not from the HuiXue sect," Jin Long took a step back and spoke as he looked back at Jie Fu Lian, "Who are you really?"

Jie Fu Lian took a sharp breath in as he honestly admitted, "Jie Fu Lian."

Jin Long’s eyes widened in shock and his entire body stiffened. The expression on his face looked terrified and his mouth gaped open.

The master of curses, who stood beside him, was also just as shocked as him, but when compared to Jin Long, he wasn’t that affected by the truth. In just a second’s time, the master of curses had already recovered from the shock and took out a transportation talisman which he held behind his back and secretly lighted it up.

Both Hua Tianshu and Jie Fu Lian were just a second late and by the time they had charged forward to stop the two, the master of curses had already grabbed a hold of Jin Long and disappeared into thin air along with the man.

"..."

For a few minutes, Jie Fu Lian and Hua Tianshu stood there without saying anything.

In the end, Jie Fu Lian cleared his throat with a cough as he spoke, "I didn’t mean to let that happen."

Hua Tianshu gave no response to that.

"Why do I feel like I made things worse...?"

Hua Tianshu finally raised his head and looked at the man as he heard this question.

"Let’s see... He was trying to find you in order to kill you again. You went ahead and introduced yourself to him with your real name. As if that wasn’t bad enough, you also let the man get away with the one who helped him kill you. Now they know who you are and they will possibly try to kill you again." Hua Tianshu pursed his lips into a thin smile as he looked at Jie Fu Lian and sarcastically asked, "I don’t know, Jie Ming. Does it sound like you made things worse?"

"Possibly..." Jie Fu Lian nodded to himself, coming to the realization that he had probably messed up.

If Jin Long were to go back and report the fact that Jie Fu Lian had been summoned back and was currently inside the demon king’s body, nobody would even care about the fact that the Jin Sect had purposefully misled an investigation.

Although Jie Fu Lian had been framed, people still believed that he had colluded with the demons, especially because he was a half-demon. If they were to know that Jie Fu Lian was once again back and this time, in the body of the demon king, there would certainly be havoc and instead of Jin Long, Jie Fu Lian would be the one targeted once again.

Hua Tianshu sighed as he saw the worried expression on Jie Fu Lian’s face and patted the man’s head as he spoke, "Don’t worry. We’ll still catch him. If he really does go around running his mouth, we’ll just take the chance to clear your name as well. Jie Ming, it is time for you to prove your innocence."

Jie Fu Lian gulped as he heard this and raised his head to look up at Hua Tianshu. With a small smile, as Jie Fu Lian looked at the man’s soft reassuring expression, he couldn’t help but be reminded of what happened eight years ago, moments before he died. That time too, Hua Tianshu was the only one who stood up for him and believed in his innocence. For that, Jie Fu Lian had always been grateful.

"What if we don’t catch him?" Jie Fu Lian teasingly questioned, "What if my name can’t be cleared and I’m once again the evil man who must be killed?"

Hua Tianshu lightly chuckled as he heard this question and replied, "Then together we’ll run away to the demon realm. I’ll make sure to protect you for the rest of your life. I’ll never let you go through the same pain again. I would not let you be wronged."

Jie Fu Lian’s lips curled up into a warm smile and he muttered out without thinking, "Hua Tianshu, sometimes you make me want to kiss you."

"..."
