Chapter 1539: Chapter 1537: Dialogue with the Demon King
After staying here with the Mysterious Lady for four days, Ling Feng felt that he had gained a lot. The Mysterious Lady also answered many of his previous doubts. Although Ling Feng still hadnât figured out her "suggestions," he could feel the earnestness of the Mysterious Lady.
"Four days, a whole four days!" Outside the Forest Cottage, the Demon Kingâs face had turned grim.
When he had visited here before, he couldnât even stay for four hours before being kicked out. But... this young man actually stayed with the Star Maiden for four days, which was simply intolerable!
He liked the Star Maiden. During his travels in Huaxia, he had fallen for her. Otherwise, he wouldnât have risked the danger of being besieged by the Divine Realm and the Angel World, to make such a deal with the Star Maiden!
That deal, for the Abyss Realm, was much more of a disadvantage than an advantage! But he didnât care, because this way, the Star Maiden could stay by his side. Only this way could he slowly influence the Star Maiden, to make her fall for him.
But things didnât go as planned. There was a natural opposition between the Abyss Realm and Earth: one newly born and weak plane, and the other strong but in decline, so the Demon Kingâs actions were destined to be despised by the Mysterious Lady!
"Forget it, even if you are unwilling, you have accompanied me for thousands of yearsâ time!" The Demon King shamelessly thought: "But as for this young man... I need to have a proper chat with him, it seems my sister is quite interested in this guy!"
Ling Feng reluctantly left the Forest Cottage. He looked at this place as beautiful as a paradise, yet it was the shackle that imprisoned the Mysterious Ladyâs freedom!
"If one day I have enough power, I am determined to break this shackle and restore your freedom, so that everyone can return to Earth!" Ling Feng took a deep breath and silently vowed in his heart.
But when he turned around, a smiling big face appeared right in front of him, giving Ling Feng a huge start!
Ling Feng only felt a flicker before his eyes, and he was no longer in the Misty Forest but inside a huge courtyard.
"Who are you?" Looking at the skinny old man he had met once before, Ling Feng asked cautiously, "Why did you bring me here?"
The skinny old man chuckled, "Kid, you seem a bit arrogant! You should know youâre on my territory now. Do you believe I could end your life with just a flip of my hand?"
Ling Feng saw the skinny old manâs smug expression and gradually calmed down: "If you really kill me, donât you fear the... Star Maiden?"
After Ling Feng spoke, a slight awkwardness appeared on the skinny old manâs face: "What do you mean, should I fear the Star Maiden?"
Ling Feng nodded, "In terms of strength, the Star Maiden may not be your match, but... I think youâve waited outside for four days, certainly not just to kill me in a fit of rage, right? If thatâs the case, I would think youâre just a brute with great power!"
There was a trace of interest in the Demon Kingâs eyes. He originally intended to scare Ling Feng, but unexpectedly, after a few breaths, Ling Feng managed to calm down and find a way to fight back!
"No wonder my sister is so fond of this little guy. I originally thought he was just someone with a bit of luck, but it seems I underestimated him!" The Demon King thought to himself.
However, outwardly, the Demon King still pretended to be indifferent and said, "Youâre the first one to call me a brute; does this mean youâre sure I wonât kill you?"
Ling Feng shook his head, "In this world, what can be certain? I just believe that since you possess such overwhelming power, you certainly canât be a simple-minded person. Also, if you really wanted to kill me, there was no need to wait until I came out to do it. I imagine... thereâs nothing in the Misty Forest that could stop you!"
"The reason you didnât disturb the Star Maiden, I think it must be out of great respect for her!" Ling Feng sighed and said, "Although I donât know who you are, I can sense your feelings for the Star Maiden!"
Coming out from the Mysterious Lady, to be immediately captured by this old man, Ling Feng would never believe the old man had no thoughts about the Mysterious Lady!
Sure enough, after Ling Feng finished, a trace of surprise appeared on the Demon Kingâs face: "Youâre quite good with words!"
Ling Feng smiled, "I just have a big heart, thatâs all. If thereâs anything you want to ask, feel free to ask!"
Before the Demon King could speak, Ling Feng continued, "But things that are inconvenient to talk about, I will never say!"
The Demon King was so annoyed he wanted to hit someone; this guy really wasnât afraid of him!
But, for some reason, the Demon King quite liked Ling Fengâs character, neither humble nor arrogant, steady and calm, with a meticulous mind and clear-headed!
The Demon King had seen many talented young people in the Abyss Realm; which one wasnât trembling with fear before him, afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing? Even the Nameless child was always filled with reverence, never like this?
"Donât worry, I wonât ask anything private!" The Demon King looked at Ling Feng, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Is the Star Maiden doing well?"
Ling Feng was stunned; he never expected this skinny old man brought him here just to ask such a question. This indeed was... a love-struck fool!
"The Star Maiden is well!" Ling Feng said.
"Then Iâm relieved!" The Demon King muttered to himself, "For so many years, she never agreed to see me, but I still remember her long black hair, so enchanting back then..."
"Long black hair?" Ling Feng was taken aback: "The Star Maiden has hair as white as snow. Was it long black hair before?"
The Demon Kingâs body trembled, and he suddenly grabbed Ling Fengâs shoulder: "What did you say? The Star Maiden has white hair now? How could that be!"
A mighty force clamped onto Ling Fengâs shoulder, making him unable to move, the skinny old manâs hands were like iron pincers.
"Speak clearly! Does the Star Maiden really have a head full of white hair now?" The Demon King roared.
Gritting his teeth, Ling Feng nodded: "Yes, she indeed has a head full of white hair. Is there something wrong with that?"
"She already has white hair?" The Demon King let go despondently, looking lost. He still remembered the sentence the Star Maiden told him long ago, "When my black hair turns white, my mission is complete. I hope you can keep your promise then!"
The mission completed, which meant that the end was near. The Demon King felt bitter, "Even now, donât you want to see me?"
