After His Demise, the Demon Lord's Doted Canary Finally Sees the Light - Chapter 103

After their wedding night and a few days of indulgence, Qiu Fuxue  and Jiufang Cangze  didn’t leave their bedchamber for a full seven days and seven nights.

Waking up from the passionate haze, Qiu Fuxue dragged his sore body over and turned, staring blankly at the curtains overhead.

Is this what happens when you indulge too much?

Just as he was internally scolding himself, his Lingxi , which was on the pillow next to him, suddenly lit up.

Jiufang Cangze pushed open the door, carrying a bowl of hot porridge he had made himself. Before he could show it off, he saw Qiu Fuxue scrambling to get dressed.

He quickly went to steady the wobbly figure. “A-Xue, what’s the rush?”

The other’s expression was panicked. “A-Yun just sent a message. The God is missing!”

Taichu  had not been in the mortal world for a very long time and was filled with curiosity about everything. He would run down the mountain every few days.

Qiu Fuxue and Li Yun  couldn’t bear to stop him, so they could only send disciples to accompany him to prevent him from getting lost.

But today, the main street of Luori City  was crowded and lively. Taichu was easily distracted by new things. The disciple following him lost track of the God in a moment of inattention.

On the main street of Luori City, Taichu held a candied hawthorn stick he had just bought. He turned around and found he was all alone.

“Huh? That’s strange…”

He scratched his head and looked around. He didn’t dare to wander too far. After all, he had no spiritual power outside the Immortal Realm, and he had no sense of direction. It was safer to just wait for someone to come find him.

While looking around, he didn’t watch where he was going and bumped straight into someone.

“Oh! My apologies, my apologies…”

Taichu first checked that his candied hawthorn was okay. After confirming it was safe, he turned to look at the person he had just bumped into.

The man had a charming and handsome face, but his sharp features softened his bewitching looks. His slightly upturned eyes, in particular, were filled with emotions that ran deep.

“Are you alright, young man?” He reached out and held Taichu’s arm. His voice was cold, yet surprisingly gentle.

“I’m fine. I’m the one who didn’t watch where I was going and ran into you.” Taichu smiled openly at him. He felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen him before.

The man didn’t mind in the slightest, but his attendant was scared out of his mind. “Your Majes… my lord, there are too many people here. It’s easy to run into danger. We should go somewhere else.”

Mo Ziwang  gave him a cold glance, then turned back to Taichu, resuming his gentle expression. “Meeting is fate. How about I treat you to a drink?”

“Drinking!” The only God in this world’s eyes instantly lit up. When it came to drinking, he was all in.

However, before he could agree, an anxious cry came from not far away.

“God!” Qiu Fuxue pushed through the crowd and instantly appeared by Taichu’s side, grabbing him. “God, I finally found you!”

Noticing the concern in Qiu Fuxue’s voice, Taichu looked apologetic. “I’m sorry, Fuxue. Did I disturb your wedding night?”

Qiu Fuxue let him go, a blush flashing across his face. “That was so many days ago… I only rushed back from the demon realm when I heard A-Yun say you were missing.”

Cough.

Mo Ziwang cleared his throat. Qiu Fuxue then noticed him. “Hmm? Your Majesty, you’re here too?”

“Your Majesty?” Taichu realized. “I knew it! I thought you looked familiar! So you’re the emperor of the human realm! I sent you a dream before!”

He was able to remember. Mo Ziwang felt a strange sense of satisfaction. He asked gently, “How do you feel in your new body?”

A sincerely devout heart was worth more than any powerful magic in the world.

“It’s very useful. Thank you for your worship.”

Mo Ziwang found this God, who was revered by all living beings, to be adorable. He continued his previous offer, wanting to lure the God away. “Then, God, would you still like that drink I offered?”

“I’d love to…”

Taichu looked back at Qiu Fuxue, his eyes pleading.

Qiu Fuxue was afraid that drinking would harm his newly formed body, which was why he had told the Qianshan Sect to keep an eye on him. But now that the God looked so pitiful, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse.

“Go on. The Qianshan Sect still has things to do, so I won’t follow you. Take your Lingxi with you. There are Qianshan Sect disciples all over the city. You can summon them if you need anything.”

“Okay!”

A few days later, Qiu Fuxue was in the study doing paperwork. He heard the door creak open and felt a familiar presence, so he didn’t look up.

Jiufang Cangze sat down next to him and helped him organize the slightly messy paperwork. “A-Xue, don’t you think Taichu has been going down the mountain a bit too frequently lately?”

Qiu Fuxue put down his brush and sighed. “The God just made friends with Mo Ziwang. It’s normal for them to see each other often.”

But Jiufang Cangze felt it was very abnormal. He rubbed his chin. He felt something was off about the little trinkets the other man gave Taichu.

“Do friends give each other their personal jade pendants?”

Qiu Fuxue lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. “They… do?”

This reminded him to be suspicious of Mo Ziwang’s motives.

This suspicion continued until Mo Ziwang returned to the imperial capital and even invited Taichu to join him.

Taichu hugged Black Ball’s head and lay on Qiu Fuxue’s desk. “I’ll take Black Ball with me. We’ll be fine.”

Qiu Fuxue said quietly, “The last disciple who took Black Ball to the imperial capital was forced to wash dishes for days.”

Taichu’s lips twitched. “That won’t happen again, right?”

He still remembered Li Yun’s little disciple. He was very cute, but whenever he was mentioned going to the imperial capital, he would get a terrified look on his face.

In the end, Qiu Fuxue couldn’t win against Taichu and agreed to let him bring Black Ball. But before they left, the Immortal Lord personally went down the mountain to threaten the emperor.

The gist was that if the God lost even a little bit of weight, the Demon Lord would bring his spear to the imperial capital and turn the place upside down.

After all, a righteous sect needed a good reason to kill someone.

After a bumpy journey, the group finally arrived at the imperial capital. Prince Mu and his attendants stood at the city gate to greet them.

Black Ball was the first one to jump out. He excitedly spun around, then suddenly noticed a familiar figure. He pounced fiercely on the guard next to Prince Mu.

“Awoo, awoo—!”

He still remembered that this was the guy who had caught him from under a cabinet and handed him over to his master.

A huge mass of fur came flying at him. Yan (炎) instinctively went to protect Prince Mu, but he didn’t expect the target to be himself. Black Ball, using his weight advantage, knocked him to the ground.

“Awoo, awoo!”

Prince Mu covered his mouth and laughed. “A-Yan, that’s Black Ball. He’s Immortal Lord Fuxue’s snow wolf. It seems he really likes you.”

But Yan didn’t think so. He scrambled up and knelt before Prince Mu. “This servant was disrespectful in Your Highness’s presence. I beg my master for punishment!”

Prince Mu’s smile instantly froze on his lips. He bent down and helped the man up. “It’s fine. Get up. I won’t punish you.”

This man’s personality was different in each life, but this one was the most distant from him.

As soon as Taichu got out of the carriage, he saw that Black Ball had caused trouble again. He could only look to Mo Ziwang for help.

Mo Ziwang smiled, patted his hand to reassure him, and then walked up to Prince Mu. “Ziyan, you can take your people back first. The God and I will tour the imperial capital.”

With that, he extended his hand to Taichu.

Taichu didn’t hesitate to take it. “I heard there’s a place in the imperial capital that makes really good red bean pastries. Should we go try them?”

“Okay. Whatever you say.”

Black Ball had had his fun and rolled himself gray. He suddenly remembered his master’s warning and trotted after Taichu and the emperor.
