Chapter 19

The medicine that Qin Shitian gave him was naturally of the highest quality. Moreover, these were all superficial wounds. Gu Bai rested for two days before putting on the Devil Guard's uniform and reporting to the sect.

When Gu Bai arrived, Qin Shitian had just woken up. Seeing him, he casually said, "You're quite sensible." Then he ignored him.

Gu Bai naturally knew Qin Shitian's temperament. He was extremely cold and heartless. Other than Mo Haige, he would not easily be kind to anyone. He had always been domineering and ruthless. That day, it was because of a sudden novelty that he had treated Qin Shitian nicely.

However, Gu Bai was more thick-skinned and courageous. He did not find a place to hide like the other Devil Guards. Instead, he brazenly followed behind Qin Shitian. He did not look like a Devil Guard, but more like a small attendant.

In reality, his current cultivation was only at the Yellow Rank, and his strength was low in the Devil Sect. If not for the Sect Leader's personal promise, he would not have had the chance to become a Devil Guard. The appearance of a small attendant serving him made the subordinates who had secretly gone through untold hardships to become a Devil Guard feel much better.

After Qin Shitian finished washing up and putting on his clothes, Mo Haige also walked in.

His appearance was gorgeous, his skin was fair, and he wore a white satin robe with exquisite patterns. He was not as rough as a normal man, but he was more beautiful than a girl. His simple outfit exuded a peerless charm.

Qin Shitian saw the coldness on his face disappear and a smile appeared on his face. He said to the person beside him, "Call for breakfast …"

As he spoke, he took Mo Haige's hand and pulled the struggling person to the table to sit with him. This had been his habit all these years. Every meal, Mo Haige accompanied him.

As he grew up, Mo Haige, who had always been cold to Qin Shitian, became increasingly distant. Especially after he found out about Qin Shitian's thoughts, he was terrified.

As soon as he sat down on the table, he struggled to break free from Qin Shitian's grip.

Even though Qin Shitian was used to his indifference and alienation, he still couldn't help but feel a little angry every time he was rejected. However, he still couldn't bear to blame him. Instead, he patiently picked up a piece of pea cake for him and reached out to touch his head.

"Hai Ge, try this pea cake …"

"Thank you, Master."

Looking at the food in his bowl, although Mo Haige said thanks, his expression showed that he was extremely unwilling.

This rejection made Qin Shitian's face darken. He stared at him with a frosty look in his eyes, and the pressure of a strong man leaked out of his body uncontrollably.

Mo Haige was so frightened by his aura that he trembled and almost couldn't breathe. Knowing that he was angry, he kept his expression.

Then, she reluctantly ate the dessert in the bowl as if she had just completed a mission. Unable to bear the cold air of Qin Shitian, she immediately put down her chopsticks and said to the man who was exuding cold air.

"Master, your disciple is full. Please enjoy your meal. Your disciple will go and take care of some matters in the sect …"

After speaking, she didn't wait for Qin Shitian to nod and immediately turned to leave. She didn't want to stay with Qin Shitian for a moment longer.

After she left, Qin Shitian couldn't hold back his anger anymore. With a 'pa' sound, he put down his chopsticks and said with a gloomy face, "Why aren't you taking the food away!"

The servant beside him immediately replied, "Yes."

Recently, the Sect Master was moody and no one dared to disobey him. Those who disobeyed would only die. Moreover, the Sect Master was in a fit of anger right now. Whoever went against him would be unlucky.

However, there was someone in this room who wasn't afraid of death. Gu Bai saw that Qin Shitian didn't even touch his chopsticks. The original owner's care for Qin Shitian made him come forward involuntarily.

"Sect Master, you haven't eaten yet …"

After speaking, Gu Bai gave himself a tight slap in his heart. Who told you to talk too much?!

The originally heavy atmosphere in the room froze in an instant. A few servants who were about to clean up the tableware stopped in their tracks and froze in midair, not daring to raise their heads. They secretly wondered why this newcomer didn't know how to appreciate favors. He actually dared to get close to the Sect Master when he was angry!

"… …"

Qin Shitian slowly turned his gaze to Gu Bai. His eyes were dark and unreadable. No one had ever dared to refute his words. Yet, he still dared to approach him when he was angry. Was this person not afraid of death or something else?

Gu Bai was naturally afraid of death. He also didn't want to approach him at this time. However, this body belonged to someone else and the original owner's residual emotions were still there. Before he completed the task, it would affect him.

He looked at Qin Shitian's terrifyingly calm face and hurriedly knelt down on one knee. He braced himself and spoke carelessly.

"This subordinate has misspoken. Please punish me, Sect Master. It's just … it's just that not eating is not good for the body."

This was only true for ordinary people. For someone like Qin Shitian, who had reached the peak of cultivation, he wouldn't die even if he didn't eat for a month, let alone a single meal.

Qin Shitian looked at him and didn't say anything. Gu Bai just knelt there and didn't dare to move. He secretly regretted that he didn't suppress the original owner's emotions. At the same time, he also felt that it was extremely uncomfortable to kneel like this.

Just when he thought that Qin Shitian was going to get angry and slap him to death, the other party glanced at him and said, "Get up and serve this Sovereign some food …"

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Gu Bai's face lit up with joy when he heard this. He hurriedly stood up from the ground and patted the dust off his knees as he ran over enthusiastically.

Qin Shitian noticed his smile and his gloomy mood suddenly improved a little. He couldn't help but smile when he thought of how Gu Bai had peeked at him that day.

Now that he was in a good mood, he looked at the breakfast on the table and felt a little more hungry. Gu Bai knew his tastes from the original owner's memories and served him everything he liked. He ate a lot during breakfast, attracting the attention of the servants.

Gu Bai couldn't help but feel a little hungry when he saw how much Qin Shitian ate. He was only a small disciple of the Devil Sect. Although he didn't starve, his food wasn't as good as the Sect Master's.

It was just a table of breakfast, but there were only a dozen dishes. It was like an imperial banquet. As the young master of the Nie family in his previous world, he ate and wore the best food and clothes. His stomach had long been nourished.

At this moment, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. In addition, he came in a hurry this morning and only ate a steamed bun. His body immediately complained and made a "gulu" sound.

The sound wasn't loud, but in the room where even the drop of a pin could be heard, it was especially noticeable. Not to mention Qin Shitian, even the servants in the room secretly looked at him.

"Sect Master, please forgive me. I was rude …" Gu Bai's face flushed red.

Qin Shitian looked at him and a soft smile appeared on his cold face. Then he placed a plate of pastries in front of him and said coldly, "This is for you."

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

Gu Bai was overjoyed and quickly thanked him. If the Great Demon King gave him a reward, he would accept it even if he took a bite, let alone the rest. Moreover, he hadn't even touched the plate of pastries.

After receiving the plate, Gu Bai prepared to leave. No matter how brave he was, he didn't dare to eat in front of Qin Shitian. The only person who could eat at the same table as Qin Shitian was Mo Haige. The others would be courting death.

However, when he was about to leave, Qin Shitian suddenly remembered Mo Haige's rejection. He couldn't help but snort coldly and say, "Eat here!"

Gu Bai was shocked. He thought to himself that Qin Shitian was indeed temperamental. Thus, he had no choice but to obediently eat in front of him.

As he ate, he observed Qin Shitian's expression. Gu Bai's cheeks were puffed up and he looked like a little squirrel. It was very funny. Qin Shitian's expression improved a little.

"Is it that delicious?" Seeing Gu Bai eating, Qin Shitian, who had been watching him for a while, couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, it's delicious!"

Gu Bai nodded without hesitation. His cheeks were stuffed with food and he nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

The Devil's Sect was much bigger than those countries. The chefs in the sect were naturally the best. The ingredients were rich in spiritual energy and were much better than ordinary food. The taste could be said to be superb.

This was even better than the top dishes he had eaten in his previous life. Gu Bai's face revealed a satisfied expression. His eyes were narrowed into crescents.

Seeing this, Qin Shitian was in a good mood. He reached out and pinched Gu Bai's face. Gu Bai was stunned for a moment. Then, he returned a smile and didn't try to avoid it.

"You don't seem to be afraid of me?"

Qin Shitian was already used to Mo Haige's alienation and disgust. The sudden feeling of being close to someone made his heart skip a beat. He liked the touch of the soft and warm skin on his hand very much.

Seeing his expression, Gu Bai could guess his temperament. He licked his lips and raised his head slightly to look at Qin Shitian. He narrowed his eyes in worship to show his loyalty.

"I'm not afraid of Sect Master. I'm only in awe of you. I swore to be loyal to Sect Master, so I'm not afraid of you. I'm willing to do anything Sect Master asks me to do!"

These were words from the bottom of his heart. Ah Jiu's wish was to protect this Sect Master. Even if Qin Shitian wanted to kill him, he would have to kneel down and thank him.

Qin Shitian had heard similar words of loyalty before. But when it came from Gu Bai's mouth, coupled with his pure eyes, it made him feel strangely comfortable.

Such loyalty and worship made him feel an indescribable softness and comfort in his heart. His cold expression softened in an instant.

"Little person?

Looking at your thin and weak appearance, you really are a little person. How can you serve me with this appearance? Do you know that the maids in my bedroom have a higher cultivation than you … "

"Ah Jiu will definitely work hard to become stronger!"

Gu Bai expressed his attitude enthusiastically. His clear eyes were filled with the loyalty of a pure child.

Qin Shitian looked at him and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

A youth who had stayed in the Devil's Sect for five years could still have such clear eyes. He even said that he wanted to repay his kindness and be loyal to him. Interesting, really interesting. In that case, it was good to keep him by his side. He could just treat it as having fun.

"Alright, in that case, I don't need your current cultivation. From now on, you will serve me daily!"

Qin Shitian's face was still cold, but his tone was very gentle.
