……what?

The mind went blank for an instant.

Ji Xingyun subconsciously believed that the devil did not hear his words clearly.

He was about to repeat it again, but his raised eyes met the other's gaze unexpectedly.

The clear expression seemed to understand everything.

how come?

Since he knew his gender, why would he...

No...he should have expected it long ago.

The system can let him speak out without any hesitation, and has not said anything to stop him from dismantling the human design until now. Does that mean to a certain extent that the devil does know his true gender?

Ji Xingyun took a deep breath.

Is his attire too deceptive, or is it that the devil eats meat and vegetables and eats both men and women?

Whichever conclusion is accurate doesn't seem to be very kind to myself.

Ji Xingyun could only bite the bullet and continue: "Since... since you are clear, then, then..."

He overestimated his courage, and he still didn't dare to say the words about the marriage contract or forget it.

No matter how harmless the man in front of him was, it still couldn't change the fact that he was a devil.

What if...he becomes angry and really kills...

This series of missions will be completed soon, and he doesn't want to die here.

"Then, that would be great."

After drooping the corners of his eyes and uttering such words against his will, Ji Xingyun coughed lightly while dodging his eyes.

"Ahem... But, I still have more important things to do. There is a desperate race waiting for me to save. Now, I must rush back to save people. So there is no way to marry you right now."

"You should understand me, right?"

The demon's pretty brows and eyes were slightly drawn, and his thin lips were pursed, as if he was a little unhappy.

He was silent for a moment before asking in a low voice, "Is it in such a hurry?"

Seeing that the devil's expression had loosened a bit, Ji Xingyun quickly replied affirmatively: "Urgent, it is urgent! There is no delay!"

"In this case, I can accompany you to solve it."

"Hmm... Is it a little too much trouble for you? After all, this is my business, and I should solve it by myself. Besides, they don't seem to like demons very much."

"Of course, I'm not saying you're bad! There will always be various prejudices between races, but such unnecessary petty disputes can be completely avoided, so you should stop following me."

Ji Xingyun blinked his eyes a few times, and opened his mouth to tell a good lie: "I will come back to you after I solve this matter."

After countless comforting words, he finally dispelled the demon's desire to follow him.

Ji Xingyun wiped the sweat beads that did not exist on his head, and heaved a sigh of relief.

This kind of deceptive lie... is not as easy as imagined.

Ji Xingyun was afraid that the devil would notice something abnormal, so he turned his body sideways, preventing him from seeing his expression.

His excuse is not impeccable, it can even be said to be full of loopholes, and anyone with a little intelligence will doubt it.

What's more, the demon doesn't look like a fool.

The scumbag's sense of déjà vu reappeared, his words were like a bad guy who is good at deceiving his feelings, and he fully implemented the word scum in his actions and words.

Although... it wasn't his intention.

When he first heard that the devil would give him the horn, he was the one who let the devil misunderstand him and didn’t explain it immediately, and he was the one who touched the devil’s horn without being tempted. He is also the one who is the truth...

The box on the palm was like a piece of hot potato, which made Ji Xingyun very uneasy holding it.

The fingers on the side curled up slightly, and the lips clenched unconsciously revealed a little uneasiness and uneasiness.

He was like a prisoner waiting to be sentenced, waiting for the devil's answer.

The demon's expression didn't fluctuate much, he quietly looked at the young man with his head down, his tone was a little dull.

He said: "Is that so? There is really no other way."

This is... believe it?

Ji Xingyun raised his head sharply.

The devil pinned Ji Xingyun's broken hair that blocked his sight behind his ears, his movements were very light, and he was cautious about being rejected by the boy.

Ji Xingyun's body froze, restraining his instinctive reaction to dodge.

Seeing that the boy didn't hide from him, the devil's mood quickly improved.

There was a smile in his eyes, and he said: "You should be more careful by yourself, but the horns left behind contain my magic power, which is enough to protect your safety."

"Although I don't know why you have to dress yourself up like this, but you can show your true self in front of me, and it's not because you look like a girl that I have a good impression of you."

"The way demons express emotions may be different from humans..."

The demon's eyes gradually went blank, thinking of the previous events.

There was a slight, easily overlooked annoyance in his voice.

"...I didn't realize until the end that you didn't seem to want those discarded shoes, and that my self-assertive behavior...scared you."

Ji Xingyun said: "It's okay, I don't mind anymore."

"I still have a lot to learn about feelings."

The devil glanced at the bookshelf next to it without any trace, and it was filled with pink book covers, books about love.

It is the rational cognition and perceptual cognition of love from people of different races and different ages, and there are many insights and suggestions in it.

More than half of the books have traces of being carefully read, and even a few books have been filled with notes and annotations.

The devil retracted his gaze. He remembered the days of being tortured by these books, and his voice became erratic.

"If there are other things that I don't do well, you must say it. After you say it, I will change it."

Is this post-relationship conversation?

It's really hard to answer.

Ji Xingyun nodded with a dull face, indicating that he knew.

He thought for a while, and asked in a low voice: "If, I mean, if one day you find out that I am not what you imagined, and that I may have deceived you in some way, will you... forgive me?"

The devil paused, and said in an unclear way: "Since the horn is given to you, I have no objection to what you want to do with it."

At first glance, it sounds like the answer is irrelevant, but when you think about it carefully, it is completely surprising.

At this moment, the air seemed to be stagnant and no longer circulated.

The atmosphere became oppressive and silent, only the sound of light and heavy breathing could be heard.

Ji Xingyun's back was straightened, and his soft lips were pursed into a white line.

A strange thought flashed through his mind, the devil seemed to know everything.

Knowing his ulterior motives, and also knowing his other purposes.

But why?

Since he knew everything, why didn't he choose to expose him face to face, but accompany him to play these childish scenes?

Countless doubts filled his heart and weighed on his chest.

Ji Xingyun tried for a long time to make a sound, and the words he uttered were also very dry.

"you……"

The devil's eyelids were half closed, and his slender eyelashes covered his flowing emotions. He interrupted the boy's words: "At night, the devil's world will undergo great changes, and the human body is not suitable for staying here for a long time. Let me send you away."

[Congratulations to the host for successfully clearing the mission target and getting a reward of [-] points. 】

Ji Xingyun's eyes flickered, as if he had expected it a long time ago, and he didn't show much surprise.

But he still involuntarily glanced at the devil.

The blood-colored eyes that he had never dared to look directly at were not as scary as he had imagined, on the contrary, they were shining brightly like rubies, very beautiful and gorgeous.

The demon was also very handsome, not at all as terrifying as he had imagined.

Even the black wings on the back are very handsome.

The points on the personal panel increased again, reaching a number that he hadn't even dared to think about before.

But it couldn't bring him the initial joy and excitement.

Almost half of this long series of numbers were obtained after different targets were successfully captured.

But... he obviously didn't do anything.

The demon sent him all the way to the edge of the demon world, then stopped and watched him leave.

The eyes with a strong sense of presence are fixed behind him, as if to see through him completely.

Seeing such hot eyes, Ji Xingyun almost forgot how to walk.

Till he crosses that thin line,

***

The series of mission three announced by the system was long overdue.

[Sub-quest [-]: Obtain the silver long sword. 】

[A sword made of rare and precious silverware, the smooth blade seems to flow the power of time. 】

[The prince who fell into a deep sleep due to unknown reasons in the last era was sleeping with a sharp silver sword. It accompanied the prince to kill the heads of countless enemies and enjoyed the supreme honor, but it was silent for a long time. in the time. 】

[It seems to contain the terrifying power of reversing time, which may help the dark elves. 】

Ji Xingyun pondered: [Your description... has an unexpected sense of familiarity. 】

System: [Don't remember?This is the first side quest you do when you come to this world. 】

Ji Xingyun was silent.

He thought about it, and indeed he remembered the sleeping prince he met in the palace.

He did the opposite, not only did not wake him up like in the fairy tale, but took advantage of the other party's ignorance, he stole his sword.

Now that the silver sword has been obtained, does that mean the task has been completed?

but……

Ji Xingyun frowned and thought back: 【Where did I put that sword...? 】

The system is also a little uncertain: [It should be thrown in your room casually, right? 】

The system paused for a moment, not knowing what it saw, and suddenly changed its statement: [It is also possible that the awakened prince quietly took it back without you knowing. 】

All in all, it's in the palace.

Ji Xingyun: [Then what do you mean, I have to go back to the palace on purpose to get back that sword? 】

The system did not answer.

Familiar map markers turn on, and flashing red dots show you're nearby.

[Look at the surrounding scenery, does it look familiar? 】

Familiar Gothic castle buildings, vigorous old trees with luxuriant branches and leaves, slightly desolate remote corners, broken stone slabs with a little moss exposed, and thick and thick vines.

【Yes, you have already returned to the palace. 】

Ji Xingyun was startled, and murmured in a low voice: 【How could it be?Shouldn't I be in the Dragon's Cave? 】

[The world of demons and the world of humans also have intersections, and different intersections correspond to different locations.Aren't you also the demon you met in the court at the beginning?Your demon fiancé knows your identity as a princess, isn't it normal to choose this boundary to send you back? 】

The words of the system can indeed be used as an explanation.

But still too much of a coincidence.

Even if it was a step back, the devil did have the intention of sending him home, but it wouldn't just teleport him to the gate of the palace.

The palace is so big, is there a one-in-a-thousand chance that it will be delivered to the location where the silver sword is?

It's hard not to wonder if the devil knows something.

For example... know his mission.
