Chapter 22

After leaving Qin Shitian's palace, Gu Bai returned to the Demon Guard's quarters. The conditions here were much better than when he was a new disciple. He could now have his own room.

When he returned to his room, he locked the door and sat at the table. He poured himself a glass of water and immediately gulped it down to calm himself down.

Just now, he appeared to be calm but in reality, he was scared to death in his heart. If Qin Shitian really killed him, he could only stand there and wait for death. He simply couldn't escape, so he might as well narrowly escape.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Gu Bai could not help but feel annoyed at Mo Haige.

What a troublemaker. No matter how cold and indifferent he was, he should at least know how to read the situation. He had angered the Great Demon and ran away quickly, leaving the rest to suffer!

After feeling annoyed, Gu Bai could not help but recall the feeling when he kissed Qin Shitian.

It was the feeling of dominating everything, as if it was going to devour a person's soul and nourish his soul. It was exactly the same as Nie Qingcang in the previous world.

He did not know what that feeling was, but he instinctively felt that it was not normal. At least that energy could strengthen his soul.

It seemed to be beneficial for him. That mysterious voice had said that the stronger his soul, the longer he would live and would not dissipate.

But why did Qin Shitian give him the same feeling as Nie Qingcang?

What was the connection between them?

Or was it just his imagination …

Gu Bai touched his lips and frowned in thought.

After a while, he stood up and spoke to the empty surroundings.

"Master, I want to ask for your help."

After speaking, he stood there quietly and waited. There were some questions that he wanted to clarify now.

A few minutes later, Gu Bai felt the space around him distort, as if it had formed a small independent space. Accompanied by a wave of pressure, he saw the shadow of a man appear in mid-air.

The man was floating in mid-air. His body was tall and strong, and could be said to be perfect. He wore a black armor covered with mysterious runes, a helmet with a pointed horn, and a pair of flying cloud boots.

Half of his face was covered by a mask that matched his armor. His face couldn't be seen, and only his thin lips and a pair of cold eyes could be seen. He gave off a feeling that he was going to conquer the world.

Gu Bai felt a sense of subservience. He knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Master …"

"Why did you call me?" It was that familiar mysterious voice.

"Master, I remember you saying that you can help me once in a future mission. I would like to ask for your help now …" Gu Bai stole a glance at the shadow in front of him.

"Are you sure you want to use it now?"

"Yes, Master, I want this body to become stronger immediately!"

Gu Bai nodded. His current body's abilities were too low, and there were many things he could not do. This world was different from the previous one. Here, powerful martial strength was very important. If he could become stronger, many things would be much easier.

The virtual shadow didn't agree immediately. Instead, it stared at him for a while before nodding.

"If that's the case, I promise you. Remember, this will only make your body stronger in this world. Everything will return to normal once you leave this place."

With that, a black light entered Gu Bai's body, and the virtual shadow disappeared.

After everything returned to normal, Gu Bai looked around. Then, he closed his eyes and felt the energy in his body. A powerful feeling arose spontaneously.

Although this powerful strength was only temporary, it was enough for this mission.

After changing into a set of black clothes, Gu Bai didn't delay any longer. He left the room and sneaked into Qin Shitian's palace under the cover of night.

At this moment, his strength was above the demon guards, so he wasn't afraid of being discovered. He wanted to make sure that the feeling Qin Shitian gave him just now wasn't his imagination!

After sneaking into the palace, Gu Bai first drugged Qin Shitian's tea. Then, he hid in the dark and observed him. After he fell asleep, he walked over quietly.

Because of his powerful strength, Qin Shitian was very confident. All the demon guards were waiting outside the room, so he was the only one in the room.

Although the secret drug of the Devil's Doctrine was very powerful and even the people of his sect were afraid of it, Gu Bai still had to be careful just to be safe.

He stopped three meters away from Qin Shitian, knelt down, and respectfully said, "Sect Master, I'm sorry to take the liberty of asking for an audience!"

With that, he quietly observed the reaction of the person on the bed.

Gu Bai had always been very careful, but he didn't do many missions. He was still too inexperienced. He ignored the fact that this world was completely different from the world he had been in before. This was a fantasy world that didn't conform to common sense. Moreover, this was the Devil's Doctrine, the Devil's Doctrine that was created by Qin Shitian himself.

Therefore, when he was drinking tea, Qin Shitian found the drug in the water. He had never trusted people easily, including those in his sect. As the Sect Master of the Devil's Doctrine, he was naturally not a stupid person.

No one had dared to plot against him for many years. After thinking for a while, he decided to beat them at their own game. Let's see who was so bold!

When he heard Gu Bai's voice, his ears twitched slightly. He inexplicably let down his guard, but he didn't expose him immediately. Gu Bai's behavior aroused his curiosity and doubts.

This young man had once sworn to him that he would be loyal to him. Why did he drug him now?

What did he want to do?

Qin Shitian's heart suddenly turned cold. As the Sect Master, he couldn't help but think of many conspiracies.

But when he thought that Gu Bai's previous words were all lies, he felt an indescribable anger in his heart. It was an inexplicable anger that he had never felt before. He was even angrier than when Mo Haige had resisted him. Monstrous anger was rolling in his chest.

But no matter how emotional his heart was, he still slowed down his breathing and pretended to be asleep. He wanted to see what Gu Bai wanted to do. If he really wanted to kill him, he would …

What would he do?

Qin Shitian couldn't make up his mind. He could only continue to pretend to be asleep.

On the other side, Gu Bai called out to him a few more times. Seeing that he didn't move, he boldly got up and slowly approached him. Then, he reached out and poked his cheek.

How bold!

Qin Shitian thought to himself with his eyes closed.

"Looks like he's really sleeping like a log …"

Gu Bai muttered softly. Then, he relaxed.

He reached out and touched Qin Shitian's face. After hesitating for a while, he slowly approached him.

His breath sprayed on Qin Shitian's face. It was a little warm, but also a little numb. This made Qin Shitian's heart beat faster.

This strange feeling made him scold in his heart. If you want to make a move, just do it. Why do you have to play so many tricks?

Then, in the next moment, his body stiffened. His mind went blank. This was because the young man's lips had pressed against his own. Then, a small, smooth tongue probed into his mouth …

Almost as soon as it entered Qin Shitian's mouth, Gu Bai felt a familiar presence. An inexplicable, vague energy flowed into his soul. It was very comfortable.

Like a thirsty traveler in the desert who suddenly saw a water source, he couldn't help but suck on Qin Shitian's lips. Bit by bit, over and over again, he reluctantly sucked the saliva out of Qin Shitian's mouth.

Such active passion made Qin Shitian's chest burst with heat. He originally thought that Gu Bai wanted to assassinate him, but he didn't expect that Gu Bai wanted to steal a kiss from him. This made him feel a little indescribable.

All these years, he had always put his heart and soul on Mo Haige. That peerless young man had attracted all his attention, but the other party was extremely cold and distant towards him. It was even more appropriate to describe it as disgust.

Not to mention kissing the other party, Mo Haige didn't even let him touch or hold his hand. The surrounding subordinates also kept a respectful distance from him. Other than fear, there was only fear.

He was bloodthirsty and ruthless, but he was also human. He also yearned for the warmth of love.

Qin Shitian thought of the words Gu Bai had said. The young man had said that he would do anything for him, that he would be loyal to him. It wasn't because of loyalty, nor was it to repay the kindness of saving his life, but …

Also, he had cherished the broken jade pendant. Something that was worthless in Mo Haige's heart was like a treasure in the young man's heart. It was because he had personally carved it.

Thinking of this, Qin Shitian didn't feel the usual coldness and disgust he felt when he was approached by someone other than Mo Haige. Instead, he felt an inexplicable sense of joy.

His heart melted into a pool of soft spring water. So, in this world, not everyone hated him or feared him. Even if he was a great devil, there were still people who cared about him …

In the quiet night, in the empty room, the sound of sucking made the surrounding air hot.

After a long time, Gu Bai raised his head and stared at Qin Shitian. It was as if he wanted to see something from his cold face. Then, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.

He poked Qin Shitian's face again and chuckled. "It's the same feeling. Could it be that you also followed me here?

I'm such a heartless person. I'm afraid you've suffered … "

After murmuring, Gu Bai smiled and got up to leave.

After he left, Qin Shitian let out a long sigh of relief. He reached out his hand to cover his wildly beating heart. Staring at the curtain above his head, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He recalled the kiss that made his mind ripple.
