“Hahaha, King! Your bride was picked up off the street!” The unlucky masked man gloated.
A tall, slender man with black hair and a black robe stood on a tree, a cold mockery flashing in his scarlet eyes. Those same red eyes were now even wilder, more arrogant, and more wicked than when he was seen in modern times.
One glance was enough to captivate countless female viewers in front of their screens, who wished they could pounce on him and lick him. They thought this Yue was simply too charming; this was how he should be— so aloof and unrestrained, his eyes exuding an arrogant “you are all mortals” vibe that was utterly adorable.
Even though his attire was exactly the same as when he appeared in the first episode, why did it feel different? It made their hearts flutter!
That’s it! It was emotion!
Many viewers realized this and looked closely at the fox demon in the drama.
Now he had feelings and emotions; the light in his eyes was vibrant, unlike the empty coldness of his modern-day self, as if he had no heart or feelings.
This emotional side of him made him more real and easily infectious.
—It turned out that the king of this mountain had long known about the actions of the people in the city; in his eyes, it was nothing more than a game to amuse himself.
“Have you had enough?” Yue glanced sideways at the unlucky fellow.
If this guy hadn’t loved to play since waking up and hadn’t incited other monsters to join in the mischief, the people in the city wouldn’t have been so panicked.
The unlucky fellow was about to say how could he have had enough, but sensing the dangerous, half-smiling look in the king’s eyes, he immediately nodded obediently and darted away, “I’m going to tell the others to prepare to welcome the king’s bride!”
“Tsk.” Yue scoffed but didn’t stop his antics.
The surrounding trees swayed, making a rustling sound, even the wind seemed to whisper something in his ear, gently blowing through his black hair.
“Thank you.” Yue curled one corner of his lips, his bright red eyes like an inextinguishable flame, so flamboyant and dazzling, with an unbridled arrogance. However, his smile now was friendly and gentle. “Seeing how interested you all are, marrying a bride doesn’t seem so bad?”
Even though this bride was originally a sorcerer invited to eliminate him.
Was he so easily eliminated?
This young fox demon king was so narcissistic and arrogant that one wanted to smash him with a brick.
“So cute! So cute! So cute! I want to see him cry, see him fall in love, see him fail, see if he can still be so arrogant!?”
“My heart is melting! Your Majesty, don’t be so cute! How can you smile so wickedly? It’s so mean! I hate it! I was just crying so hard!”
“I’m going crazy! Is this sad or happy? I’ve been tortured like a dog, and now I’m so happy I’m pounding the wall. My dad even said I should go to a mental hospital!”
Many sentimental girls in front of their computers were kicking themselves, laughing and crying at the same time.
They thought they would see a love-hate relationship between the demon and the sorcerer, a deeply torturous romance.
The plot then took an unexpected turn— the genius female sorcerer was struck with a stick and suffered amnesia!
Hearing she was to be married off, this unusually adorable and obedient genius sorcerer, after her amnesia, was easily tricked and agreed without hesitation.
A red sedan chair, a red wedding dress, and a beautiful bride were carried up the mountain.
This ill-fated marriage, with the girl’s shy yet curious expression inside the sedan chair, made the audience eagerly anticipate the event.
Upon arriving at the fox spirit’s territory, the four men carrying the sedan chair placed it in a valley and then ran away.
In the silence, the female sorcerer waited quietly inside, when suddenly she heard a tiger’s roar.
So close!
She abruptly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.
Jumping out, she saw a long-haired man sitting on a rock in a cave.
He looked at her, a smile playing on his lips.
This close-up of his smile captivated the audience, making them forget the female sorcerer’s reaction and become completely absorbed in the story.
The humble cave, because of this person’s presence, resembled a celestial abode.
A tiger pounced.
The female sorcerer swiftly and fiercely kicked out.
“Awooo—!”
The tiger was kicked away, letting out a pitiful howl.
The female sorcerer didn’t even glance at it, her bright eyes locked onto the man in front of her, her voice clear, pleasant, and slightly naive, “Are you alright?”
“…Pfft.” The man sitting on the rock.
The female sorcerer stared at him, tilting her head, and then grinned foolishly.
The man stood up and walked towards her, arrogantly raising his chin, looking down at her with a condescending gaze, “My wife is so fierce.”
“Wife?” The female sorcerer was stunned, then asked blankly, “…You’re my husband?”
“Mmm.” Yue nodded.
The female sorcerer immediately blushed. “Actually, it’s nothing.”
“As a woman, your strength is incredible…” Did this woman think he was praising her?
The naturally strong female sorcerer raised her head and happily said, “Yes, I will definitely protect my husband well from now on.”
“…Pfft.” Yue smiled meaningfully. “Then I’ll keep you here for a few more days.”
“Hmm?” The female sorcerer looked dumbfounded.
Receiving a pat on the head from the beautiful Yue, she instantly became satisfied, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons.
This scene melted the hearts of countless otaku, made them drool over their computer screens, and elicited countless bursts of laughter from in front of their computers. No one expected the final plot to take such a heartwarming and adorable turn, with the brief post-wedding scene shown in flashbacks. Although short, it was still incredibly heartwarming and adorable.
But as the saying goes, too much joy leads to sorrow!
When the audience breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the female sorcerer regain her memories and not deny her feelings for Yue, the main event followed immediately.
The female sorcerer was found by her fellow disciples, who had come not only to find her but also because they had heard of the fox demon king on the mountain; and that killing him and eating his heart would grant immortality.
The disciples incited the entire town’s populace, leading everyone to the mountain to vanquish the demon.
To protect the fox demon and prevent her fellow disciples from being killed, the female sorcerer went alone to stop them, only to be killed by a woman within her own sect who had long been jealous of her.
“Ding Hong, don’t blame your sister. Even if you return to your sect, you’ll be executed for your affair with that fiend. It’s better for me to give you a quick death here.”
“Oh, it’s a pity you won’t see your lover die with his heart ripped out. But it doesn’t matter. I’ll rip out your heart now and burn it to ashes. Later, we’ll burn that fiend’s body to ashes and bury you both together. Don’t say I don’t care about you.”
The woman spoke softly, while the female sorcerer on the ground had already lost her breath, her wide eyes staring at the mountain peak, the last vestiges of pain and reluctance still lingering in them.
Under the resentful gaze of the onlookers, the senior sister didn’t even bother to lift the female sorcerer’s corpse. With one or two slow cuts, she ripped out the sorcerer’s heart, burned it to ashes, and placed it in a wooden box.
This wooden box soon became Yue’s greatest weapon, the last straw that broke his sanity.
Overnight, all life in the small town, human and animal alike, was slaughtered. Houses burned, and corpses littered the ground.
“King, are you really going to do this?” the stone demon asked.
This massacre had killed not only humans, but also the mountain demons.
The unlucky ghost and the cat demon, among others, floated around Yue in ghost form.
Inside the magic circle lay the female sorcerer’s corpse.
At this moment, the completely demonized man sat beside her, gently stroking her hair, his head bowed, his expression unreadable. “Hmm, if you don’t want it, I’ll find someone else.”
“Haha, whatever decision the King makes, I’ll support it!”
“Without the King, I don’t even have the right to be a ghost now.”
“Whatever the King says, I will do.”
….
On the screen, the Demon King gave his heart to his only bride, ten demon souls suppressed along with.
“I promise you, I will never leave you.”
“Goodbye.”
“My bride.”
