Chapter 74
Xie Zuo slept soundly and felt hungry when he woke up. Well, he hadn’t felt this hungry in a long time; it was time to go hunting!
Xie Zuo raised his head and stretched, looking at the tail swinging in front of his eyes, and then realized he had changed back to his original form at some point.
He looked down at Huo Yao and grinned at him, revealing two rows of sharp teeth. “You looked like a little kid like this, hahaha!”
He leaned over suddenly, took Huo Yao in his mouth, and swam happily out of the lair.
Xie Zuo lowered his eyes and looked at Huo Yao, asking in a low voice, “Why didn’t you struggle? Why didn’t you shout?”
Huo Yao touched his mouth, “You wouldn’t hurt me, and you couldn’t hurt me.”
“Huh, just wait, Deity of Thunder, I’m going to bite you in two!”
Huo Yao said very calmly, “It’s up to you.”
Xie Zuo put Huo Yao on the ground, “I’m starving, go find something to eat.”
Huo Yao looked up at him.
Xie Zuo suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. Why was he still in his original form? Was it because the posture was wrong?
Xie Zuo stood up, closed his eyes, and opened them again, but it was still his original form!
“This…” Xie Zuo was shocked, “Huo Yao, I can’t turn into a human!”
Sure enough… Huo Yao secretly thought, just like Xie Xiao before, she was unable to maintain her human body due to excessive consumption of demon power after pregnancy.
“Your Majesty, are you hungry?” Lao Luo flew out of the cave where he was living, holding a large piece of meat in his hands and bringing it to Xie Zuo’s mouth.
Xie Zuo didn’t have time to be depressed; he was attracted by the smell of the meat. He picked up the piece of meat and swallowed it whole, almost swallowing Lao Luo as well.
Lao Luo quickly dodged away, “Your Majesty, don’t worry, there are still a lot of -!”
Lao Luo went back and forth between his cave and Xie Zuo like a bee, feeding Xie Zuo all the food he had stored during this time.
Xie Zuo had an astonishing appetite. After eating, he was still unsatisfied. He didn’t have time to figure out what went wrong, so he rushed deeper into the abyss, hunted a fat monster, and quickly ate it clean.
This brutal scene once again frightened the other monsters in the abyss. Xie Zuo ascended as the Southern Emperor in the heavenly court. He was unable to eat meat recently and hadn’t killed anyone for a long time. They thought Xie Zuo had changed his gender and after becoming the Southern Emperor, he was castrated by Tiandi and his vicious nature would no longer harm them.
This… the demons and evil spirits fled in all directions, hiding themselves deeper and more secretly, praying they would not be eaten by Xie Zuo.
Xie Zuo burped, carefully licked the blood on his mouth and body, and then flew up and returned to Huo Yao.
Xie Zuo tried several times, his face turned red, but he still couldn’t change back to his human form!
“Bang—!”
Xie Zuo fell to the ground heavily, spitting out snake tongue in frustration, “What should I do, Huo Yao? Something seems to be wrong with me; I can’t transform!”
Huo Yao stepped forward and hugged him comfortingly. He said, “Don’t worry, I know what’s going on.”
“You know?” Xie Zuo suddenly realized, “Is it because of the medicine Bian Zhong gave me?”
Huo Yao nodded and kissed his forehead. “That pill is a rare good thing in the world. It’s very good for your body. It’s only temporary. You should shed your skin again in the near future and you will become a real adult demon king.”
Xie Zuo’s depression was sweeping away, “Really?”
“Yeah.” Huo Yao kissed his forehead again, “Don’t worry, I will guard you every step of the way.”
Xie Zuo hid for a moment, “Don’t touch me on the forehead all the time. It’s itchy.”
His demon core was at the center of his forehead, and his forehead had always been his most sensitive place. On weekdays, when they were intimate, Huo Yao’s kissing and touching his forehead would always bring him great pleasure. Now that he was in his original form, his forehead was even more sensitive than in human form.
Xie Zuo didn’t want to engage in any species-breaking intimacy with Huo Yao. He wasn’t as perverted as Wu Xiao.
.
Xie Zuo was dubious about Huo Yao’s words, but in the next few days, apart from being unable to transform and having a bigger appetite, he really didn’t feel any other discomfort.
In fact, there was still a bit of discomfort. After all, Xie Zuo was the demon king. He had a strong desire for sex, and he never restrained himself since he tasted the sweet taste. In addition, Huo Yao, the number one attacker in the six realms, was really talented, and he could send Xie Zuo to bliss every time. Now… Xie Zuo felt very lonely.
Following this, Xie Zuo’s mood became a little strange. On weekdays, he was very carefree, didn’t take anything seriously, and was very willful. But he was a little indecisive lately, and he felt sad from time to time. As for what he was feeling sad about, he couldn’t tell.
Early that morning, Xie Zuo swam out of his nest, climbed to the nearest hilltop, and looked up at the sky.
In fact, there was only blood mist in the abyss, but the difference between thick and shallow was nothing. He couldn’t see anything when he looked at the sky.
Xie Zuo was in a daze for a while, lowered his head in despair, and slowly began to climb down again.
Lao Luo looked worried. “What’s going on, Your Majesty? You look so worried—”
Wu Xiao also popped his head out of the ground. He rarely cursed, but he looked at Xie Zuo seriously, wondering what he was thinking.
Xie Zuo swam past them without even looking at them.
Wu Xiao looked at his withered back and slapped the ground with his tentacles in dissatisfaction. “Why did this little bastard become like this? He looks like an eggplant beaten by frost! Where is Huo Er? Where did that idiot Huo Er go? What a bastard, he just run away after screwing others, he is truly stupid and careless!”
A huge shadow covered Wu Xiao, and when he looked up, Xie Zuo’s tail had already slapped him.
After slapping Wu Xiao flat, Xie Zuo felt a little better, retracted his tail, and continued to crawl into the nest. Alas, he was a little sleepy. It was time to sleep for a while. He did get up too early today, even Huo Yao wasn’t awake yet at that time.
As soon as Xie Zuo walked to the entrance of the cave, he met another big snake!
This big snake was gleaming with golden light, very powerful and beautiful, and was much larger than him.
Xie Zuo took a closer look and saw the golden light flashing on the big snake was some moving lightning patterns. Those lines were all the divine power overflowing from the big snake.
“Huo Yao?”
“It’s me.” The big golden snake squirmed forward slowly, flicked his tail unskillfully, and put it on Xie Zuo, trying to wrap him up. “I will stay with you in this form until you can transform, okay?”
Xie Zuo nuzzled Huo Yao in surprise. “Okay, that’s great!” His whole heart jumped with joy, and he wrapped his whole body flexibly: comfortable. Very comfortable!
Although Huo Yao could change into various forms, this was his first time trying this kind of wandering creature without arms and legs.
In fact, he had woken up a long time ago. As soon as Xie Zuo left the nest, he thought of this way to make him happy, but he didn’t expect he couldn’t control his body at all. It took him a while to learn to crawl in a straight line and he went out to find Xie Zuo.
Xie Zuo quickly noticed Huo Yao’s inflexible movements and laughed out loud at his rare clumsiness. He pestered him around excitedly, showing off his superiority.
Huo Yao’s learning ability was amazing. He quickly mastered the key, became serious again, and got the mischievous Xie Zuo back.
The two giant snakes twisted and intertwined like moving twists, playing with each other childishly, shaking the entire abyss.
The demons came over to watch and pointed at them.
“Look, this is the deity in the sky. How has he fallen?”
“Even if he is so immoral, he is not afraid of thunder from the sky!”
“What are you doing? It’s amazing to be next to the Deity of Thunder. He can ascend without being punished by thunder.”
“You want to become a deity, bah! You are so shameless!”
Before Xie Zuo could say anything, Wu Xiao jumped out and said, “You stupid trash, you think your tongue is not bad enough, you are looking for death!”
Dark purple curse strips crawled out of his tentacles and swam toward the talking demons.
The evil demons immediately hid and cowered. They truly loathed these fallen deities. Instead of enjoying themselves in heaven, they had to come here to fight for territory.
The evil demons were most afraid of Xie Zuo and detested Wu Xiao the most. Xie Zuo always had a great time hunting them, but Wu Xiao was exceedingly vicious. Once parasitized by those curse strips, one wouldn’t die without enduring ten and a half days of torture!
Wu Xiao looked at the escaped demons with disdain, sneered, and then turned back to look at the big snake.
