Who Stole My Eggs?

Returning to the dark abyss, Xie Zuo’s soul left the substitute and returned to his original body.

“Your Majesty, you are finally back. I missed you so much——!” Lao Luo flew over with his long tongue and cried.

Xie Zuo moved his stiff body, stood up holding onto the wall, and slowly walked out of the cave.

He looked up at the sky, and all he could see was the thick blood mist. It would take a long, long time before he could see the beautiful blue sky and white clouds like the human world.

The red soil stirred under his feet, and Wu Xiao’s head popped up and circled around him, “Why did you come back so soon? Did you offend Huo Er?”

“No,” Xie Zuo said. He saw Huo Er in the distance. He wanted to talk to him but was blocked by Wu Xiao.

“Wait a minute!” Wu Xiao stood on tiptoe with eight tentacles, looking like he was trying to catch someone. “What did you go out for? Did you do it?”

He sniffed around Xie Zuo like a dog.

“Fuck you!” Xie Zuo crushed Wu Xiao with one kick and strode away.

Wu Xiao struggled to get up and shouted at him, “Don’t forget our agreement, little bastard!”

.

Huo Yao saw Xie Zuo coming and threw him something.

Xie Zuo held it and saw that it was the puppet stand-in. After no soul was attached to it, it automatically changed back to the size of a palm.

“I’m leaving,” Huo Yao said.

Xie Zuo opened his arms to stop him, “Didn’t you say three days later, there are still two days left, you will no longer accompany me?”

“I have other things.”

Xie Zuo refused to let him go, “Great Thunder Deity, I have something to tell you.”

“No need.”

“What are you afraid of? Listen to me. I just discovered that I want to practice dual cultivation with you. Everything is interesting when I am around you,” Xie Zuo said to Huo Yao, smiling and revealing two-pointed little tiger teeth, “I seem to have fallen in love with you, Great Thunder Deity!”

Huo Yao: “…”

“I’m serious, although you are very rude to me, and are my own enemy, it’s easy to say you have also helped me a lot. When I survive the tribulation, gain freedom, and return to the throne, you can be my queen, and I will always love you!” Xie Zuo thought excitedly about the future. “…what do you think? You have a respected position, and I am the king of the demon world, so my status is not an insult to you. When I grow into an adult body, I may be able to defeat you…”

“Stop talking,” Huo Yao said in a deep voice.

Xie Zuo asked unwillingly, “Why? Don’t you like me? I don’t believe it.”

Huo Yao raised his hand and gently rubbed his hair, “Practice well, and when I come back, I will give you an answer.”

Huo Yao left, leaving Xie Zuo squatting on the ground, full of sadness and drawing circles.

Lao Luo truly sympathized with him and sighed, “If you ask me what love is in this world, I will tell you whether life and death, they will be together—”

Wu Xiao, who was eavesdropping the whole process, was very angry and ran to a place where Xie Zuo couldn’t reach him, cursing him for being a traitor. “You idiot, shameless, and disgraced the Demon King…”

.

Huo Yao really left. After he left, Xie Zuo never suffered another thunderbolt. That was not right either; the thunder torture was suspended when he traveled with him in the human world.

Although he did not continue to be struck by lightning and didn’t get physical pain, Xie Zuo was trapped in the abyss and completely lost news about Huo Yao, which made him extremely unhappy.

When the Demon King was unhappy, all kinds of demons and ghosts in the abyss suffered disaster and became the target of Xie Zuo’s vent of anger.

After torturing the monsters up and down in the abyss and scaring them all away, Xie Zuo wandered around with a stern face, hoping to see who else he could catch and let him vent his anger.

Lao Luo followed him in fear, “Your Majesty wants to know the news about the Great Thunder Deity, why don’t you find someone to inquire about it?”

Xie Zuo was very annoyed, “Do you think I don’t want to? The news can’t reach here at all! I’m really in this damned place. I’ve been here long enough; I can’t stand it for another day.”

Lao Luo sighed, “Lovesickness is the most torturous thing—”

Strangely enough, Xie Zuo had been suppressed in the abyss for more than a hundred years, and he was being punished every day. The Great Deity of Thunder did not feel how difficult his life was.

Now, Huo Yao had only been gone for a few days, and he felt that the time in the abyss was terrifyingly long.

Xie Zuo thought of a word he saw in the human world: ‘a day feel like a year.’ Now he felt it deeply.

“He said his return date was uncertain and asked me to wait for him,” Xie Zuo said angrily, “Did he deliberately hang me up?”

Lao Luo comforted him, “The Deity of Thunder is true to his word. Since he said he will have an answer when he comes back, he will definitely give Your Majesty an answer. Your Majesty, why don’t you wait patiently, take this opportunity to practice well, and get through the tribulation as soon as possible? You can also get what you want as soon as possible—”

Xie Zuo couldn’t listen at all, “Think about it, if he likes me, why doesn’t he just say it directly? If he doesn’t like me, why doesn’t he refuse immediately? No one can refuse my charm… What does he mean by hanging on to me like this?”

Lao Luo listened helplessly to his thoughts. As an old scholar, Lao Luo actually didn’t like love in the world. He believed that love would make intellectual people went crazy. However, it was so weak now that it did not dare to show even half of his true thought. He only carefully accompanied Xie Zuo and listened to the little demon king who had just begun to have a love interest went crazy.
