Rebirth of a Villainess 67 Path of Enlightenment 25

"I wanted to protect your chastity, but..."

The demon lord shrugged his shoulders as his words trailed off, that seemed to incite Xu Hui into another fit of anger.

"Are you trying to damage my reputation! I thought you were only teasing at first, but if that is really what you did, I'll.."

"You will do what?!"

The demon lord was spoiling for a fight with the BaoXu disciple, who was red in the face from a combination of anger and humiliation.

"I'll kill you! No matter what it takes!"

"Are you ready to face the harem I'll be leaving behind?! If you manage to kill me, that is if! If you actually do, just be prepared for some angry women to come after you."

"Let them come! Who says I'm scared!"

The demon lord went into another round of laughter, within a single day Xu Hui had made him laughed more than the many years he had lived in the demon realm. She was very headstrong, even though she knew that nothing would come out of what she was doing, yet she would keep at it.

"You didn't ask how I brought you here?"

Once consumed by anger, Hei Zhurong noticed that the BaoXu sect disciple was hardly able to maintain rational thought, she would remain fixed on that one thing for a while.

"You must have poisoned everyone or killed everyone there, is that what you were going to tell me!"

"Xu Hui why do you think so poorly of me?"

"How am I supposed to see you beyond anything, but pure evil!"

"Alright! I will not tell you."

That was when Xu Hui's eyes narrowed in distrust at the man that said he was the fox prince.

"I need to speak to your father! I'm sure he doesn't know the evil that is son is doing right under his nose!"

"I'm afraid you will not be able to speak to my father, he has been sleeping for a very long time."

What Demon Lord Zhurong was trying to say by stretching the truth was that, his father was dead, but he said it as though he was in a long slumber.

"Who can I speak to?! How about your mother?!"

"There is nothing that my mother can do."

The demon queen had passed away many years before her husband, the males from the demon realm lived longer than their females.

"Why?!"

"My mother no longer exists in this world."

Hearing the solemn way that the demon lord mentioned his mother, made the anger that surged within Xu Hui to fade away.

"I'm sorry for bringing up your mother, Fox Prince Rong."

Xu Hui felt ashamed for making the "fox prince" talk about a sensitive and probably painful part of his life. There was a look of sadness reflected in her midnight dark eyes, while looking at the luminiscent ones of the demon lord.

"How did the fox king and your mother meet?"

This was where Hei Zhurong had to stick to the story that he told the guards at the gate of the YuanLi sect.

"She was his chamber maid. You haven't eaten since I brought you here, let me get someone to bring us some food."

The demon lord change subject so quickly, it was almost as if he felt a sense of guilt for leading Xu Hui on.

"For the first time, I will know what the food at the fox clan tastes like."

Although, she sensed when he shifted the direction of the conversation, Xu Hui went on with it, thinking that he had not yet overcome the pain from his past.

"While we are waiting for the food to come in, I'm going to tell you how we got here."

The BaoXu sect disciple looked at the demon lord with rapt attention.

"I had to create a replica of ourselves and leave them at the hall we were."

Hearing the "fox prince" speak of such a high level of magic, made Xu Hui wonder what type of person she had in the room. Meanwhile, they were in a separate world within the demon realm, which was heavily guarded by men specially chosen by the demon lord to keep watch over the woman that he brought from the YuanLi sect.

"That is a very high level of magic, to do such a thing is beyond the imagination of an ordinary disciple cultivator. A sect leader could perform such level of magic and that is if he was from one of the top ranking sects."

"You can now see why I said you cannot beat Chen Yueming."

"Stop! I don't want to hear this again!"

Xu Hui placed her hand to her ears, wanting to block the words of "fox prince" despite something from within that was telling her that the words he spoke rang true.
