After Transmigrating into a Novel as the Master, I Was Forced into Love by the Yandere Villain - Chapter 4

Precisely because of his soft heart, Bai Qiuluo failed to catch that phrase about “a teacher for one day is a husband for life.” He simply assumed the child was speaking unclearly with some slight variations in tone.

“Alright.”

Bai Qiuluo wanted to soften his expression to prevent his excessively cold demeanor from frightening Shen Wang.

However, his facial features remained completely stiff; even performing a micro-expression like twitching the corner of his mouth was beyond his capability.

It’s already this late, so going down to disturb Qiuzhu doesn’t seem very appropriate. I remember there’s a spiritual artifact inside my storage ring that can keep someone immune to heat and cold. If I have Shen Wang wear that, it’ll solve the issue of the ice bed. I really am a genius.

Bai Qiuluo muttered frantically in his mind, completely unaware that his inner voice was being heard loud and clear by the Shen Wang right in front of him.

With this thought in mind, Bai Qiuluo retrieved a jade pendant from his storage ring.

Refined from top-tier materials, the jade pendant did far more than simply insulate against heat and cold; it could also withstand a full-force blow from a Soul Formation stage expert.

“Put it on.”

Bai Qiuluo was a man of few words. Had Shen Wang not overheard his inner thoughts, he truly would have taken Bai Qiuluo for someone completely apathetic.

“Thank you, Master. This is the first time anyone has ever given me a gift.”

Shen Wang put on an expression of pleasant surprise, even holding the jade pendant with a slightly flustered, clumsy care.

“Thank you… Master…”

His voice choked up slightly, as though he had never experienced kindness from anyone else before.

He clutched the emerald-green jade pendant tightly in his palm, fully able to sense the three strands of sword intent that Bai Qiuluo had left inside the pendant.

The three strands of sword intent left behind by a Fusion Realm Immortal Venerable were enough to allow him to protect himself when facing any perilous situation.

Shen Wang’s eyes are even red; what a poor little darling. He’s this touched just from getting a jade pendant. Looks like I’ll have to gift him more good things in the future.

Listening to the rambling inner voice coming from Bai Qiuluo, Shen Wang lowered his head, feigning gratitude to an unbearable degree as the corners of his lips slowly curled upward.

How could this Immortal Venerable Changheng, after cultivating for all these years, still trust others so easily? He truly possessed the pure heart of an infant.

“Go to sleep.”

Bai Qiuluo kept it concise and to the point. Extending white-jade-like fingers as slender as scallion stalks, he lightly grasped Shen Wang by the collar and hoisted the child onto the bed.

The dignified Supreme Lord of the Demon Realm had never once in his life been hauled up by the collar like this.

Shen Wang’s pupils abruptly contracted, and he almost failed to suppress the surging demonic energy within his body, nearly teaching this disrespectful Bai Qiuluo a lesson.

Fortunately, he remembered the purpose of his sneaking in here. Shen Wang awkwardly rolled over and sat cross-legged on the bed, hugging his pillow with an exceptionally well-behaved demeanor.

Bai Qiuluo remained completely oblivious to the fact that he had just brushed shoulders with danger. At that moment, looking at the soft, white dumpling on the bed, he found his hands and feet at a loss for where to put themselves.

“Master, hurry up and get on the bed…”

Shen Wang urged with a full face of smiles, swiftly kicking off his shoes and socks, and even pulling a soft quilt out of his own storage ring.

The entire sequence of movements flowed as smooth as water, leaving Bai Qiuluo zero time for contemplation.

“…”

Bai Qiuluo fell silent for a brief moment before climbing onto the bed using the exact same hand and foot on the same side.

“Master, can we hold each other while we sleep? When I was little, I always wanted my mother to pat my back and coax me to sleep.”

Shen Wang was pushing his boundaries inch by inch to test Bai Qiuluo’s limits, wanting to see just how indulgent Bai Qiuluo could be toward him.

“Alright.”

Bai Qiuluo’s movements were exceedingly stiff. Gazing at Shen Wang with a trace of tender pity, he began constructing elaborate scenarios in his mind about how miserably the villain must have lived during his childhood.

Although he hadn’t finished reading the original novel, the plot followed a standard formula:

The villain would definitely fail to win the affection of the female lead, who steadfastly loved the male lead instead.

Consequently, the villain would grow world-weary and turn dark, ultimately trying to destroy the world, only for the male and female leads to join forces to defeat the great villain and save the world.

He trusted that the plot of the original book was undoubtedly much the same as this.

Moved by the scenes he was fabricating in his own mind, Bai Qiuluo felt all the more that his eldest disciple was a pitiful little creature with no one to love him.

Since Shen Wang couldn’t hear Bai Qiuluo’s inner voice, he took it as a sign that Bai Qiuluo was agreeing even to such an intrusive request.

This proved that Bai Qiuluo was far more accommodating of him than he had imagined.

Taking advantage of his young age, Shen Wang spread his arms wide and wrapped them tightly around Bai Qiuluo’s waist.

Bai Qiuluo’s stiff movements became even more pronounced, his entire body lying frozen flat on the bed as if he had been frightened out of his wits.

A warm, gentle fragrance belonged to the child’s body; right now, Shen Wang’s small face was pressed against his chest, feeling just like a soft layer of cotton draped over him.

“Master, you’re so good. I like Master the most~”

Shen Wang spoke with a hint of bashfulness, though his palms firmly locked around Bai Qiuluo’s waistline.

The waist of the righteous path’s chief leader was noticeably slimmer and more flexible than he had imagined.

No one in the world would ever guess that the Supreme Lord of the Demon Realm would be sleeping in the exact same bed as the chief of the righteous path, in a posture intimacy-laden to this degree.

“Mn.”

Shen Wang is so cute. My eldest disciple must have suffered terribly in the past. I merely agreed to sleep with him, and he’s already this touched. I must treat him even better from now on.

Bai Qiuluo’s inner voice contrasted sharply with his outward persona. While responding with chilling indifference on the outside, he was quietly cheering inwardly, presenting a textbook example of extreme contrast.

Seeing that Bai Qiuluo had been thoroughly hoodwinked by his act, a satisfied smile bloomed across Shen Wang’s face.

He pressed his entire childish torso directly against Bai Qiuluo, creating an exceptionally intimate posture between the two of them.

Shen Wang embraced Bai Qiuluo with an unmistakable sense of territorial possessiveness, though because he was still young, this behavior was readily interpreted by Bai Qiuluo as a child’s lack of a sense of security.

Thus, Bai Qiuluo clumsily raised his hand. For someone suffering from severe social anxiety, overcoming his own psychological barrier was the mandatory first step toward successfully coaxing a child to sleep.

“Sleep.”

Bai Qiuluo’s hand landed gently on Shen Wang’s back. Modeling the mothers he had seen in parenting commercials coaxing infant babies to sleep,

he began lightly patting Shen Wang’s back, his lips parting and closing several times without managing to utter the intensely embarrassing lyrics of a lullaby.

Bai Qiuluo’s entire body remained taut; having even a child press this close to him still made him feel overwhelmingly nervous.

Sensing Bai Qiuluo’s current state and the hand resting lightly against his back,

Shen Wang knew that if he pushed any further with his demands, even someone with a temper as good as this would likely end up flying into a rage.

Therefore, he very cooperatively slowed his breathing, faking the appearance of falling into a deep sleep.

Half an hour later, sensing that Shen Wang was completely asleep, Bai Qiuluo carefully and gently lifted the child to the side to lay him down properly.

Just as he prepared to get up and spend the entire night meditating, Shen Wang lightning-fast grabbed hold of the corner of his robe.

“Mother, don’t leave. I’m scared. Please don’t abandon me…”

A barely audible, tearful sob echoed softly through the bedroom, causing Bai Qiuluo’s motion of getting out of bed to pause mid-action.

Looking back, he caught sight of a single tear sliding down the corner of Shen Wang’s eye, sinking into his temples and hair, and his heart promptly melted all over again.
