THERE'S A WAY

Suddenly, Yu Ming smirked at the Second Prince of Wu Li. At first glance, it seemed that the smirk was normal, but Wu Jingguo somehow felt goosebumps all over his body when he saw that smirk.

"I know you're thinking about something dirty, Yu Ming! Just get rid of those thoughts before I kick your ass off the horse's back!" Wu Jingguo immediately scolded the older man when he sensed something was wrong with the man.

But then again, Yu Ming only chuckled after seeing how the Prince had suddenly become alert. "You are thinking too much, Your Highness," he replied after his laughter died down. "I just want to say that I was actually the same when I was in Wu Li. You must know that humans hate demons, right? That's why they would definitely try to kill me if they found out my true identity as a demon. I was just thinking about that, so can you tell me the dirty part you're talking about, Your Highness?"

Yu Ming was very teasing, but Wu Jingguo couldn't even answer what the man had just said. When Yu Ming said that humans also hated demons just like demons hated humans, Wu Jingguo knew that the statement was true, so he couldn't even rebuke Yu Ming.

"Until now, only I, His Majesty, and my brother know about your identity as a demon while you are at Wu Li. I also know how other demons managed to infiltrate Wu Li or even Dong Lang without being noticed by humans or werewolves. I wonder what power you used to hide your true identity," Wu Jingguo replied, and it was quite obvious that he was curious at this time.

Sensing the curiosity in Wu Jingguo's tone, Yu Ming calmly smirked before saying, "We demons, as long as we are strong enough, we will be able to hide our demonic aura when we are outside the demon realm. Whether it's in Wu Li or Dong Lang, we can even pretend as if we're normal humans. However, the situation would be different if humans tried to infiltrate the demon realm. Humans don't have the aura of a demon, and that's why they won't be able to pretend to be a demon when they're in the demon realm."

It was a bit unfair when demons could pretend to be humans but humans couldn't pretend to be demons. Demons could hide their demonic aura, but humans couldn't have a demonic aura within their bodies. Thus, humans couldn't act as if they were demons in the demon realm.

The situation suddenly became difficult for Wu Jingguo, and he even averted his eyes from Yu Ming while frowning in confusion. Seeing how the Prince looked flustered at the moment, Yu Ming couldn't help but smile, and without saying anything else, he led his horse to approach the Second Prince's horse.

By now, Yu Ming's horse had stopped right next to Wu Jingguo, and it could be said that there was only a thin gap between the two of them even if both of them were still on the horse's back now.

Wu Jingguo noticed the presence of the older man, and he actually felt a little uncomfortable with the closeness between them. That was why he would have taken his horse away from Yu Ming if Yu Ming had not suddenly said, "I know a way so you can pretend to be a demon, Your Highness. If you agree to use this method, your identity as the Prince of Wu Li will still be safe while we are in the demon realm."

It seemed that Wu Jingguo had not expected that there would be a way to help him survive in the demon realm, and that was why he suddenly looked excited after hearing Yu Ming's words. "What way are you talking about?" He asked immediately.

"You suddenly look impatient, Your Highness," Yu Ming replied, smirking at the younger man. "I said earlier that demons can pretend to be humans as long as they can hide their demonic aura, right? If humans wanted to pretend to be demons, then they would have to do the opposite. They need to possess the demonic aura."

Previously Wu Jingguo looked eager, but he pursed his lips after hearing Yu Ming's words. "Earlier we also discussed how a human wouldn't be able to have a demonic aura within them, right? Did you forget about that?" He asked again because he didn't look satisfied with Yu Ming's answer.

"We did talk about that before. Humans can't have demonic aura within them, but I'm not saying that humans can't borrow demonic aura from demons, right?" Yu Ming returned immediately, but Wu Jingguo once again looked puzzled.

"Are you going to say that I can borrow demonic aura from a demon if I want to pretend to be a demon? Are you going to say that I can borrow demonic aura from you?" Wu Jingguo guessed, and Yu Ming grinned again after hearing it.

"You are indeed sharp and clever, Your Highness," replied the fish demon. "If you want, then I can let you borrow my demonic aura, and in an instant, you will be seen as a demon like me. What do you think of that idea, Your Highness? Would you like to use it?"

"..." Wu Jingguo didn't answer immediately, and he continued to frown at the older man.

He wasn't weak, nor was he a loser, and that was why he didn't want to say that he was afraid of the demons in the demon realm. However, he was realistic, and just like what his father had said before he departed from the Xinyang Imperial Palace, he couldn't do anything reckless when he was outside his empire.

Wu Jingguo carefully considered it, but then he decided, "Alright. I'll borrow your demonic aura. Just lend me your aura right away so we can leave this forest immediately."

It was the Prince's decision, and Yu Ming smiled widely as he looked satisfied with the younger man's decision. He did smile, but there was a hidden meaning behind that smile. Unfortunately, Wu Jingguo failed to notice.

And before Wu Jingguo could notice that something was wrong with the older man, the man had already reached out to grab the back of his neck, and in a second, their lips collided with each other.
