Chapter 144: Chapter 144 : The Demon King’s Bride (7)

The First Demon King flashed Zhang Fengxi an unknown smile. He raised his chin arrogantly as he looked down at Zhang Fengxi.

"Brat, you don’t even qualify to talk to me. What are you, a lowly soldier in the Heavenly Realm?"

But then his eyes wandered to the spear that Zhang Fengxi clutched in one hand. The famous spear that shook the three realms in the hands of its former owner, the God of War and Destruction. It was also the spear that motivated the Fourth Demon King to steal the Dark Moon Throne.

The First Demon King curled up his lips in a mocking sneer.

"So you are the other daredevil who incited the Fourth Demon King against me. Heheh... I still need to repay the favor from last time."

Zhang Fengxi also sneered in return.

"How touching. I never knew that you cared about the other demon kings so much."

"Of course, I care about them," the demon said with a sick, gleaming smile. "That’s why I allow their heads to decorate the pillars at my largest hall."

"..."

He killed them and then displayed their heads in his palace to propagate fear among the other demon kings. They would be a fool to walk in the deceased demon kings’ footsteps.

Ruthless bastard, Zhang Fengxi thought to himself. He did not change at all.

Once the small talk grew weary, the First Demon King gave his orders.

"Guards, bring my bride back to his room. Be gentle with him... Not a single hair must be hurt."

And then, he nodded in Zhang Fengxi’s direction. "Throw the other one into the scorpion pit. Let the scorpions have a long-awaited feast tonight."

"Yes, my King!"

The guards broke apart from their formation. They gradually encircled Zhang Fengxi and Xie Jianyu, keeping a few feet distance between them and the two young men.

Zhang Fengxi repositioned Xie Jianyu behind his back.

"I tell you one more time, he is not your bride," the alpha growled. "If you dare lay a finger on him, I will make sure that you die without an intact corpse."

"Ah. Is he yours, then?" The First Demon King arched his brows at Zhang Fengxi. "You act like I am stealing your wife away. Brat, you cannot win against my entire palace. Why gamble with your life for an omega? There are worse deaths than being ripped apart by hundreds of scorpions, you know."

In response, Zhang Fengxi pointed his spear at the First Demon King.

"Quit the blabbering. I will never hand Xie Jianyu over to you. Come at me if you can."

Zhang Fengxi spouted big words, but even he knew that he had no hope of winning against the First Demon King and so many demon guards.

Especially not in the Demonic Realm.

Xie Jianyu pushed at Zhang Fengxi’s back repeatedly and climbed down.

"Xie Jianyu!" Zhang Fengxi hissed in disbelief. "What do you think you are doing?"

Xie Jianyu was not interested in talking to Zhang Fengxi. His words were directed to the First Demon King.

"He came here to rescue me," Xie Jianyu spoke. "I will not have his blood soil my boots."

An inexplicable smile spread on the First Demon King’s face.

"The Crown Prince of the Heavenly Realm is indeed wise. In that case, what do you propose?"

"I will go back with you obediently. So please let Zhang Fengxi return to the Human Realm."

Zhang Fengxi widened his eyes at Xie Jianyu.

"Xie Jianyu, NO! What are you saying? That sick bastard is going to..."

Xie Jianyu turned to look at Zhang Fengxi. The deep sadness in his eyes was barely concealable.

"Please tell my father and my elder brother how sorry I am," he said. "Goodbye, Zhang Fengxi."

After the last words left his lips, Xie Jianyu willingly left Zhang Fengxi’s side and walked toward the First Demon King.

"XIE JIANYU!"

Zhang Fengxi wanted to grab Xie Jianyu and pull him back, but he was unable to move freely. As soon as Xie Jianyu left his side, the tips of the spears pressed insistently at his neck.

"Now, that is the kind of obedience that I like," the First Demon King praised. He took Xie Jianyu by his waist and held him close. And then, beaming with a victorious smile, he had the cheek to taunt Zhang Fengxi.

"I am so sorry that you won’t be able to attend our wedding. After the wedding, my wife will be quite busy nursing the child that grows inside him."

"... What did you just say?"

Xie Jianyu...

Xie Jianyu was pregnant? With the First Demon King’s child?

Blood drained from Zhang Fengxi’s face. His body trembled from head to toe.

He could feel his self-restraint vaporize into nothingness, the last bit of sense leaving his body.

Unforgivable.

"Hm?"

The First Demon King knitted his brows when he sensed an unusual change in Zhang Fengxi.

"What is happening?"

A red-orange, fiery aura coupled with intense murderous intent emanated from Zhang Fengxi’s body. The scorching, all-consuming heat crept toward the metal tip of the spears. The bright red and then white glowing metal transmitted the heat to the demon guards, who then started to cry out from the pain.

"Hot!"

"My spear is glowing hot!"

"H-help!"

"Ahhhh...!!!"

Despite their cries for help, the First Demon King calmly observed the situation. Bound by fear for their liege, these guards did not dare to drop their spears and run away. Between being melted by Zhang Fengxi’s scorching aura or having themselves and their entire families skinned alive by the First Demon King, the demon guards chose the former.

In the end, the demon guards ended up on the floor as puddles of molten flesh and blood.

Engulfed by immense fury, Zhang Fengxi pierced the First Demon King with a pair of eyes as sharp as blades.

"How dare you," he slowly whispered.

Xie Jianyu widened his eyes at Zhang Fengxi.

"Zhang Fengxi, you..."

He tried to approach Zhang Fengxi, but the First Demon King tightened his grip around his body.

"Interesting," the demon remarked in an amused tone.
