Are you afraid of death? For Jie Fu Lian, who had already come to terms with his death, the thought of being alive was scarier. Although his death was quite tragic, he still lived a fulfilling life. He had done everything that he had wanted to do and he had achieved everything that he had strived for. Even as he died, he only had a single regret. He regretted the fact that he couldn't thank Hua Tianshu, an enemy who had stood up for him till the end. His death was quite painful but he wasn't unhappy with it. However, it should have ended right there. Why the hell was he now possessing the body of a tyrannical demon king?! The heavens above were certainly playing with him and laughing at his misfortune! As if possessing the body of his enemy wasn't enough, out of all the people that he could run into, why did he have to run into Hua Tianshu?! Just when Jie Fu Lian thought his luck couldn't get any worse, Hua Tianshu just had to go and recognize him as well! "Is this what an ill-fated relationship means?" Jie Fu Lian's lips twitched. It was as if even death couldn't break the red strings that had tied the two of them together. "Why are you so nice to me?" “You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you the reason,” Hua Tianshu sighed. “You are falsely accusing me. I trust everything you tell me.” “I like you.” “I like you too, brother,” Jie Fu Lian beamed, however, this response only disappointed Hua Tianshu whose words had been misunderstood once again. “We are clearly not on the same page,” Hua Tianshu sighed as he turned around and left. Jie Fu Lian frowned as he tilted his head cluelessly. The new demon king is a thick-headed idiot who can’t even take a hint! Cover art by: Cherlyswan
At that moment, Jie Fu Lian's words echoed inside Hua Tianshu's mind: TianTian, watch me closely. If you think I'm losing control, wake me up with a hug, okay?
Hua Tianshu pursed his lips into a thin line and gulped as he made up his mind.
Jie Fu Lian was suddenly hugged from behind and his body trembled even more. He tried to shake off the person that had hugged him but Hua Tianshu did not let go. Instead, he softly muttered into Jie Fu Lian's ear, "Jie Ming, you have to wake up. You said it yourself, didn't you? You promised not to put me in danger."
Jie Fu Lian's body froze up and it seemed like his demonic Qi had also calmed down.
Knowing that Jie Fu Lian could hear him and that his words were working, Hua Tianshu sighed in relief as he continued with a smile, "Jie Ming, wake up. This is not the end. We have to keep fighting."
"Wake up....?" Jie Fu Lian softly muttered, unconsciously repeating Hua Tianshu's words.
