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
It seemed as if Jie Fu Lian finally understood where he was and what had happened so he looked at Hua Tianshu with a worried expression as he questioned, "What are you doing here?"
Hua Tianshu smiled as he grabbed Jie Fu Lian's cheeks and with tears welling up in his eyes, he spoke, "I was scared of losing you."
Jie Fu Lian couldn't help but smile as he heard this and playfully asked, "Are friends supposed to be this worried about each other? I think you are overdoing it."
"I wasn't worried as a friend."
"Eh?"
"Jie Ming, I know I've already said this once and you've already rejected me. You want us to continue being good friends but I do not think I'll be able to do that. I tried to do it but I can't. Jie Ming, I love you and I don't think I'll be able to get rid of this feeling."
"Huh...?" Jie Fu Lian looked to be a little stunned as he heard this and his eyes slowly widened in realization, "Eh?!"
