Chapter 4 : Maid
" I..... I.... am Demon Lord ??"
As someone who read a lot of Cultivation novels , Su Yang doesn't even need someone to explain what exactly the change was. Digesting the recently received information he got to know that he had awakened a second physique called the True Demon body.
Literally as the name applies , this is a body belonging to the evil ones . This physique is very special because unlike anybody he knew so far , this one is a passive gain of strength. Feeding on the seven sin and the negative energy in the world , the host of which will always gain strength and cultivation to the point that the evil in the world becomes unable to support his ever increasing strength.
To put it in simple words , as long as there is evil in this world he will become stronger but if one day he feels the lack of evil energy in the world then , just make the world fall in more corruption.. It's not like he will suffer anything from that but will only gain more strength passively.
The most important thing is this is a physique ranked Unique because one can't awaken this physique if the previous owner of it doesn't die or pass it on his own.
Judging from the incidents Su Yang has just gone through, he thinks the first is more likely because if the demon lord can pass his source of power to any one else then , is he still the demon lord ??
" Was my cheat waiting for me to regain my memories before surfacing on its own ??"
Su Yang's voice was a little high and there was joy in his tone but soon his face turned gloomy. Remembering this cheat is a double edge sword and previously he might get into trouble depending on his idiotic other self.
It is not wrong to say that the current era has gone through several major changes as now Demon dao and righteous dao both exited in the world at the same time without any major prejudice other than ancestral hatred . But he is different from every one else , the son of the Northern Region Emperor , the grandson of the Imperial Long family, the descendants of the pioneer of the righteousness, Ancestor Su .
Him being a person with the demon's dao Cultivation is the biggest joke in the current world let alone he has become the new demon lord .
And with his understanding from the countless cultivation books and webnovel he has read so far , this body is an absolute cheat if only he can hide himself well.
But soon he shook his head with a more depressed face because there appears to be some new information in his mind regarding the drawbacks of this body. Him concealing it from others is different from him fooling himself. If he ever tries not to be true to his own desires and wishes, then his passive gain strength will never work but his own Cultivation will regress in the opposite.
Fortunately, there is at least some gain with this awakening. If he doesn't want others to know his identity as the new demon lord , his blood will be deeply hidden not letting them find it.
Having understood all about his current, past life and the newly awakened body , Su Yang stands up to get ready to move out of his room.
Not to be forgotten , he is still the protagonist of today's birthday party as the celebration will be held at night and the current time doesn't seem to have passed the afternoon.
There is the local custom to initiate the celebration during the day which will last for a period of time including several months depending on the identity of the person .but who made Su Yang a perfect yet stubborn crown prince ?? Isn't it his talent. Even without his memories from the modern times , he has strongly demanded the parents to celebrate his birthday only for a single night.
The Emperor and Empress , too complied with his childish nature at the start which somehow ended up becoming a custom over the years to celebrate Su Yang's birthday unique to a single night's time which he feels satisfied with more .
Opening the door he walked out of the room where a maid was standing with her head being bowed down. Thin eyebrows , crystal clear blue eyes , juicy lips , plumped body , thin waist. No matter , which era she belongs to she is a beauty worth enough to cause the downfall of a nation ,
However , For Su Yang who had just awakened the True Demon Body this beauty is not worth the praise because he can feel a deep hatred in her heart , the target of which is nevertheless he , himself .
From memory belonging to the second life , If there is something he can be prideful about then it is his aloof yet kind behaviour. When it comes to cultivation then , Su Yang has already earned the title of madman in the entire northern region to the point his parents can't stop his own practice but if Su Yang is really famous in the top clans and official , nevertheless it will be because of his humble attitude and a kind heart .
His hands to the till date have never been stained by the blood nor there is a case of beating or bullying somebody. In such situations if someone looks at you with hatred no less than killing the father and digging the ancestral grave , anybody can feel surprised, at worst when a person has gone through a great number of the shocks for the half day.
" What is your name ??" Stopping by the maid's side , Su Yang decided to ask the person's identity before making a move . To make sure there if there is a conspiracy or hidden agenda behind her being placed on his side . But if there is any , in his opinion then the person has tried the biggest prank he ever knows .
This lady has hardly a Cultivation of peak Qi condensing and the gap between Su Yang and her even without True Demon Body will be like heaven and earth. It is not that she is not talented but is at the same age as the monster named Su Yang .But staying in his palace where the weakest Cultivation is foundation establishment, shows she too has a little background.
" My name ..." The lady too was surprised by his questioning. Other than hatred for a certain reason. She doesn't seem to have a bad impression of him, even she herself has praised Su Yang indifferent behaviour to the group of nymphomaniac daughters of several clans . Now him asking for her identity will make her suspicious for the first time .
" Who else is standing here other than me and you being alone ??" The words were said in a joking tone with a smiling face , but the majesty of a superior was not slightly concealed and it even contained the warning for a servant to be attentive while immediately reporting her superior and owners .
" I am Chen Mengue ... My Lord " Feeling both the threat and the gentle reminder, her face turned red . It's just unknown if the reason was seeing Su Yang smile for the first time or she was really scared.
" Ohh, that sounds pleasant to hear . Can I call you Mengue then ??." Su Yang asked with some expectations but the real thoughts in his heart was too deeply hidden. He just wants to check if the hatred in her heart is generated from himself or is there any source behind it.
" That ... You can.". From the sudden increase in the closeness among the two people , she felt a little awkward at first . But Remembering she herself is the personal maid belonging to the crown prince and is obliged to follow his every order even asked for something she doesn't want to ....
" Good. So , Mengue I have a personal request.. Just try to smile a little , You know the first person I saw every day can't always look so depressed. Also , don't be shy , if there is any problem, You can ask me anytime. , Ok ?? " Giving a quick pat on the shy Chen Mengue's head , Su Yang left in a carefree manner with unhurrried steps .
Chen Mengue who was just left alone standing in the hallway, was stunned because of the momentary touch on her head . Touching her forehead with an embarrassed face , she was too shocked to find her body behaving strangely under the rise in temperature. Even the face and ears have blushed red like a tomato.
" Fever ?? No ,it is not something that can affect a cultivator at my level ... Also , what does His highness , the crown prince meant by asking to me smile . Is he interested in me ?? Should I refuse ?? But he doesn't seem to be as bad as that person says .... or should promise his highness otherwise he might get angry " Holding her both cheeks while making a pouted face , she can't help but think of the countless possibilities that Su Yang's gesture could have meant.
Meanwhile, Su Yang on his way to the main hall in the crown prince palace was surprised to find the negative emotions in Chen Mengue's heart has decreased by a seventh . This is not a small decrease in the hostility considering this is still declining with every step he took away from her.
For this Su Yang also felt very puzzled, In his opinion he doesn't have done any notorious behaviour belonging to a young master with any female so far . Neither he had talked with any person of opposite sex other than a few times with his half-sisters and his own birth mother.
" Could it be she has some kind of unrequited love with me ?? And because of my cold behaviour she finds it difficult to accept reality as her love turned into hatred and she ended up with this hostility.... **Sigh this is really not easy to live the life of a Protagonist. I have barely started my journey yet there are beauty traps all the way here ...*Tsk *Tsk , this one too looks good . " Walking to the rest of the way , Su Yang tried to deduce several possibility but ended up muttering one he finds more correct .
However, when passing by the rows of beauties he can't help but curse his old self for his iron head behaviour. The whole fucking hall is full of beautiful ladies looking at him with captivated eyes . After all , his whether his beauty, his achievements or his talent , it stands at the peak of current human realm. It would be strange if there aren't beautiful ladies admiring him.. Every single person standing here is full of him in their hearts .
Even some of his maids are the daughter of several major families in first and second rank tiers . Who themselves volunteer to be his personal maid only for a glimpse of him through out the day . And then there he is the most wanted Person still a virgin after 18 years of life . If it was during his parent's time in the previous life , his daddy might already have made him a brother or two by now before he could accept his existence as a human being...
