The Demon King is an Idiot [BL]-Chapter 62: Are you crazy?!

"Hua Meifang!" Hua Tianshu cried out, scolding.

"I’ll be the bait so stop fighting," Hua Meifang sighed as she spoke, "Losing a little blood means nothing to me."

Hua Tianshu glared at the girl as he heard this and her words didn’t seem to have much of an effect in calming him down. As more blood flowed out of her wound, Hua Tianshu’s expression also seemed to be turning graver.

"We didn’t even plan anything properly," Jie Fu Lian rubbed his forehead as he spoke with a sigh, "Please think a little before you act on impulse."

Hua Meifang smirked as she heard this and looked over at Jie Fu Lian as she asked, "Are you scared?"

Jie Fu Lian glared at the girl but said nothing.

"My brother and Daoist Fu have one thing in common," Hua Meifang continued with a small teasing smile, "Even if we make a detailed plan, you are both impulsive people. In the end, you’ll do whatever you want to do so it’s a waste to make a plan."

Jie Fu Lian couldn’t argue with that since he wasn’t really a follower of strict rules and Hua Tianshu was naturally the same.

"I’ll act as bait so just worry about defeating the demon," Hua Meifang added with a small sigh as she sat down on the floor, "Get ready. It might come at any moment now."

Jie Fu Lian and Hua Tianshu gulped as they heard this.

The atmosphere suddenly turned serious as everyone looked around in anticipation. Their hearts were racing with fear and they couldn’t think straight. They were only clear about one thing: At any moment now, they could lose their lives if they weren’t careful enough.

Ten minutes passed and Hua Meifang’s wound stopped bleeding but there was still no sign of a demon showing up.

Everyone thought the plan had failed. They felt a little regretful but they were also thankful for it.

"The blood wasn’t enough," Hua Meifang announced with a sigh and picked up her sword as she got ready to stab herself.

This time, Jie Fu Lian managed to stop the girl before she could inflict harm on her body.

"Are you crazy?!" Jie Fu Lian angrily scolded the girl as he pulled the sword away from her, "Did you think I’ll let you stab yourself?! What if the demon doesn’t show up even after that? What’s the next step? Killing yourself?!"

Hua Meifang would be lying if she said she wasn’t a little intimidated by the young man.

Before Hua Meifang could say anything as a response, they suddenly heard the sound of a sword piercing through flesh.

Jie Fu Lian’s eyes widened in shock and he snapped his head back to stare at Hua Tianshu in horror.

The man had stabbed himself with the sword that Jie Fu Lian had forged and gifted him three years ago.

Everybody was stunned speechless and for a second there, nobody knew what to do.

As fresh blood started pouring out of the man’s wounds, Jie Fu Lian felt his heart clench.

Hua Tianshu was the one who had been stabbed but Jie Fu Lian looked to be the one who was in pain.

He opened his mouth to shout at the man in anger but he was interrupted by the sound of clapping.

"It seems that you are looking for me." A voice giggled and everybody except for Jie Fu Lian immediately turned their attention to the owner of the voice.

Hua Tianshu’s method had worked and the demon had come out, but Jie Fu Lian looked to be completely disinterested in the demon. He didn’t even bother looking at the demon’s face. He gave his undivided attention to Hua Tianshu who was badly injured.

Hua Tianshu’s feet staggered and it looked like he would fall down at any moment now.

Jie Fu Lian hurried over to the man’s side and supported him with one arm around the man’s waist and his other hand putting force on the wound to make it stop bleeding.

"Does it hurt?" Jie Fu Lian asked and without waiting for a response, he continued in a voice that was barely above a whisper, "It would be a shame if it doesn’t."

"..." Hua Tianshu didn’t know if he was supposed to feel happy or offended, but his heart was surely racing and his waist which was being held by Jie Fu Lian felt as if it was burning. He could no longer pay any attention to the wound on his stomach.

"Next time, you should try being a little clear-headed," Jie Fu Lian clicked his tongue.

"You two over there! Are you ignoring me?" The demon suddenly asked with a frown as he glanced over at Jie Fu Lian and Hua Tianshu, "You were the one who called me and now you’re ignoring me. Where are your manners?"

Jie Fu Lian finally turned his head to look at the demon who looked like a normal human being with a face that could be easily forgotten. He was wearing a black cloak and his figure matched with the suspicious man that Jie Fu Lian had followed into the brothel.

"Are you sure you’re a demon?" Jie Fu Lian asked but the demon didn’t need to answer that question since somebody else had already answered on his behalf.

"Brother Ming, it’s him!" Jin Long confirmed.

Jie Fu Lian immediately glared at the demon as he asked, "Then which one are you? The demon king or his subordinate?"

The demon laughed as he heard this question, feeling a little amused as he responded with another question, "Does it matter? Even if I’m the supreme demon king or his capable subordinate, you still cannot beat me. In the end, you are still too young and inexperienced. It would be better if you give up hoping to get out of here."

"So you must be the subordinate," Jie Fu Lian commented nonchalantly.

"..."

"If you were the demon king, you wouldn’t have bothered spouting so much nonsense."

The demon’s expression turned a little sour as he heard this and he glared at Jie Fu Lian as he gritted out, "Young man, I can kill you right now if I want."

"But you can’t," Jie Fu Lian sighed as he replied without missing a beat, "If you were trying to kill us, you would’ve already done so. You appeared only when one of us got badly injured. That means you’re trying to keep us all alive."

The demon nodded his head as he heard this and confirmed, "That’s right. I can’t kill you unless I’m ordered to. But there is no need for me to keep you all alive. If a few of you die off on your own, nobody would blame me."

"..." Jie Fu Lian glared at the demon as he heard this and took a minute to speak, "Both of the Hua siblings are injured. I’m sure you cannot afford to let them die."

The demon sneered as he heard this and looked at Jie Fu Lian as he asked, "Why would you think so?"

"If you went through the pain of trapping them here, it must mean they are important, isn’t that right?"

The demon nodded his head.

"If they are important then you definitely can’t let them die."

The demon shook his head, "You are wrong about that. I can’t kill them but I can certainly let them die. It’s not like they are you."

As soon as the demon had said it, he immediately regretted it. He shouldn’t have carelessly let that last part slip out.

Jie Fu Lian’s eyes narrowed down on the demon and although he didn’t understand the exact meaning behind the demon’s words, he understood the most important point.

The demon couldn’t let Jie Fu Lian die!

Jie Fu Lian pulled out the only dagger that he had forged in the past three years and held it against his throat as he spoke with a smirk, "Are you still going to stand there and watch?"

The demon looked to be a little shaken but he didn’t dare say anything.

Jie Fu Lian pushed the dagger onto his skin, causing the blade to pierce through his skin.

Hua Tianshu frowned as he held Jie Fu Lian’s hand and stopped the man from pushing the dagger any further.

"Stop being a bother," Hua Tianshu gritted out as he glared at Jie Fu Lian.

"..." Jie Fu Lian blinked as he stared back at the man in shock. He didn’t know if he wanted to laugh or cry. Even in this situation where Jie Fu Lian was trying to help Hua Tianshu, the man considered him a bother...?! Jie Fu Lian was only bluffing to cut his own throat but Hua Tianshu had already stabbed himself so who in the hell was the biggest bother?!

"Young man, how old are you?" The demon suddenly asked.

Jie Fu Lian, "That’s none of your business."

"Then you must not be old enough," The demon sighed as he commented, "Perhaps that’s why you are so impulsive. If it hadn’t been for the supreme demon king, I might have already killed you. However, as it stands, you are right. I cannot kill you nor can I let you die in here. So just throw that dagger away and tell me what you want."

Jie Fu Lian smirked in satisfaction as he heard this.
