In fact, although Shen Xian didn’t use his real appearance in public, this plain-looking face of his didn’t make him look bad at all. In fact, it gave him an odd and very mysterious air due to his mesmerizing and fascinating eyes that didn’t match his plain features. But to Xiao Nian, he was just a weirdo who kept changing his true face and moods.
His breath was too dangerous and gloomy, so the demons fighting with humans on the Yellow Planet paused slightly as they sensed it. Every demon flinched, and their reactions didn’t go unnoticed by the humans.
The humans wondered what had caused these fearless demons to flinch suddenly. Of course, no one but the demons themselves could understand it.
To the demons, their emperor was like a god, an existence that surpassed everything in this world. Their emperor had the power to control their fates and futures; how could they not be afraid of him? Even if their emperor concealed his aura and changed his appearance countless times, deep down in their souls, they sensed his presence nearby.
Xiao Nian wondered how her Master managed to remain so calm under this man’s gaze. She couldn’t do it, and she admired her Master’s courage.
Shenlian Yingyue made a gesture to let them return to the Ethereal Small World and leave everything for her to handle. But this time, none of them wanted to leave her alone, not now. They would not let this man insult her while doing nothing.
Instantly, they all stood in front of her, protecting her once again despite her attempts to stand in front of them.
"Whether the Master is innocent or not, we love every side of her. What? Are you jealous that no one loves you the same way we love our Master?" Huan Huan sneered.
"Jealous? Ridiculous! This Emperor jealous of a mere mortal?" Shen Xian chuckled in amusement. "Mortals, with their fleeting emotions and naive notions of love. You think I envy your ’pure love’?"
"Poor man, for centuries you’ve never received any pure love, which makes you feel left out in the world. This fox truly pities you," Xiao Li said with pretended compassion as he wiped his fake tears with a handkerchief he had taken from Shenlian Yingyue’s wardrobe.
Everyone chuckled at Xiao Li’s words, while Xiao Lan shook his head slightly. But no one denied that Xiao Li’s words did make them feel good.
"Who knows? You demons only care about lust and desire, which is quite boring because you don’t get to taste the beauty of pure love," Jun Mu Yang laughed sarcastically.
"Love is a game for the weak; I play to win the war. You overestimate your significance, humans. I have something far greater: the unwavering dominance that comes from fear, and I do enjoy such pleasure when the world fears me," Shen Xian chuckled eerily, his expression inscrutable.
"What you said makes sense; the unwavering dominance gives everyone pleasure," Zhiyi nodded softly, as if he were conceding to Shen Xian’s logic.
But then he continued, "However, life can be boring sometimes, can’t it? You always command everyone’s respect and fear, but have you ever truly known what it feels like to be loved and cared for unconditionally? Have you ever tasted the sweetness of being cared for and loved unconditionally by someone very special in your life?" Zhiyi’s gaze fell gently, filled with affection and warmth as he looked at Shenlian Yingyue’s face after he spoke to Shen Xian.
Shen Xian’s eyes narrowed slightly; no one could decipher what he was thinking beneath his charming smile. He had never tasted that feeling, but so what?
