The demonesses by his side were instantly repelled by a powerful force.

There were a few consecutive bangs as the women fell onto the ground.

“Demon Lord, calm down! I was wrong!” one demoness pleaded for mercy. “Don’t kill us. We’ll leave now!”

Everyone eyed him carefully, and fled without any hesitation.

The Netherworld Demon Lord lowered his gaze. His ears seemed to be ringing after the thunder. His deep eyes were instantly filled with blood as he shouted, “Guards!”

A man in black jogged in. If one were to take a closer look, the two horns on the man’s head would be evident.

The man smiled, cupped his hands, and nodded. “Long time no see, Leng Hanxiao.”

The Netherworld Demon Lord’s back was facing the other as he said coldly, “Chen Yi, you sure are bold. We’ve only not met for a few days. How dare you call me by my name?”

Chen Yi burst out laughing. “Alright, enough small talk. Hurry up and say it. What’s the matter?”

Leng Hanxiao was silent for a moment before turning around, his face slightly red. He asked in all seriousness, “Chen Yi, what do you think a relationship feels like?”

The other man blinked his dull eyes. The two horns on his head instantly seemed to soften as he looked at Leng Hanxiao in disbelief. Then, he quickly ran in front of Leng Hanxiao and carefully touched the latter’s forehead. He stuttered, “Um, Leng Hanxiao, you’re not running a fever. Are you really Leng Hanxiao? Why do I feel like this isn’t you?”

Leng Hanxiao scoffed and slapped the other’s hand away with slight disdain. His voice was a little unnatural as he said, “Nonsense. I’m the real deal. If you dare to be rash again, I’ll kill you.”

At this moment, the storm in the outside world had already died down.

Chen Yi coughed and glanced sideways in the direction where the demonesses had escaped. “I wouldn’t dare to do so. I was wrong. Then… Demon Lord, tell me what those demonesses earlier meant.”

Leng Hanxiao raised his head and clenched his fist in front of his lips. He coughed uncomfortably but did not speak.

Chen Yi crossed his arms and said in a teasing tone, “Don’t you usually not do such things? Even if you did, you’d always just send them away in the end. Why did you call so many demonesses right after coming back today? We haven’t seen each other for so long, but you’re still so lecherous.”

Upon saying this, Chen Yi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “Hmm, Demon Lord, don’t you think so?”

Unexpectedly, Leng Hanxiao suddenly seemed to be immersed in his wild and fanciful thoughts. The look in his eyes slowly turned from one of indulgence to one of gloominess. There was even a hint of sadness in his eyes.

That turned Chen Yi pale with fright. “Damn, don’t tell me something is wrong outside! Also… what did you just ask me about? What do you mean? I’m confused!”

Leng Hanxiao raised his hand and knocked the top of the other man’s head. “You’re such an idiot!”

“Hey, that hurts!” Chen Yi rubbed the spot where the Demon Lord had hit him. He felt his horns throbbing slightly.

By then, the noise outside the door had already ceased.

Then, the blush on Leng Hanxiao’s face disappeared at once. A cold glint flashed across his deep eyes. He looked at Chen Yi and said in a low voice, “The lightning has ended.”

The latter looked up and said coldly, “Yes, I understand. Do you want me to get rid of it?”

Leng Hanxiao replied indifferently, “No.”

The other man raised his head in a daze. “Huh? This is the first time in your entire life that lightning has struck eight times. The last time was when you were born.

After so many years, it’s actually struck eight times again! What does this mean? That person must be eliminated. If he isn’t eliminated, he will threaten you when he grows up.”

Leng Hanxiao replied indifferently, “Yes, I know.”

“So…”

The gears in Chen Yi’s brain started turning. Then, as if he had thought of something, his eyes widened. He patted Leng Hanxiao’s back with one hand and instantly said with tears streaming down his face, “No way! Lenghan Xiao, I’m so touched that you haven’t let me down after so many years of friendship. Are you worried about my safety? Is that why you won’t let me get rid of that scourge!”

He continued with his monologue, “Don’t worry! Even if I die, I’ll die happy. I will go and eliminate this demon at once. Don’t worry, with me around, your position as the Demon Lord will never be threatened!”

As Chen Yi spoke, he swiftly turned around and walked out of the door. He even waved and said, “Bye bye!”

Just as Chen Yi was about to walk out of the door, he felt a huge bruise swell up at the back of his head.

“Ouch! Why did you hit me so mercilessly again, Lenghan Xiao?”

The man in question glanced at him and said in a low voice, “I say, when are you going to change this bad habit of yours? I really want to blow your head off. Can’t you listen to me? I don’t want you to get rid of them! I want you to protect them!”

Chen Yi rubbed the back of his head and asked with a puzzled expression, “What do you mean by them? Do you mean that there’s more than one demon? Also, are you stupid? There were eight bolts of lightning. Why would they need my protection? I’d be lucky not to be killed!”

Leng Hanxiao sighed and held his forehead. His face darkened. “Forget it, I’ll tell you. They’re my children. Otherwise, why would the Heavenly God strike eight bolts of heavenly lightning after all these years? Who else could it be other than my children?”

Chen Yi’s eyes instantly widened as wide as saucers, and he felt as if his eyeballs were about to fall out. He was at a total loss for words, and gulped down a mouthful of saliva. His right hand trembled as he pointed at Leng Hanxiao. “You… you you you…”

Leng Hanxiao put down his hand and said coldly, “Yes, stop talking nonsense. If you continue to talk nonsense, I will kill you. Go quickly and protect the mother and children in secret. Do not expose your whereabouts or my name.”

Chen Yi was just about to ask why when he felt an impatient force burning behind him. “Fine, I’ll go. I’ll go right now!”

As soon as he turned around, Chen Yi immediately ran out. He thought to himself, “Oh my god, if anyone knew that the great Demon Lord was actually a virgin who suddenly had two children at once, the entire Demonic Realm would probably laugh at him for a long time!”

All of a sudden, Chen Yi was thrown against the wall by a strong force from behind. Then, he slowly slid down.

“Hey, brother, I’ve already distanced myself but you can still hear me? I’m sorry, I was wrong!”
