This wasn't the first time he had asked this, but the second question was the first.
Bai Ruyue's heart instantly felt as if it had been stabbed with a needle.
Thus, she could feel how depressed he was.
"Listen! "The wind is blowing, those metal tablets within my residence are ringing …" Demon Suppressing King's eyes became more and more dejected:
"Those people are people who have followed me! They were brave and good at fighting, they took charge of themselves, they were very capable, but in the end, they had only left one iron plate here, not in this world! Do you know why? Because they, they all died for me! "It's me, I caused their deaths …"
"NO!" Prince, don't say that! " Bai Ruyue's hand gently rested on Demon Suppressing King's shoulder. She no longer wanted to escape but wanted to comfort him:
"They sacrificed their lives for the human race. They died in battle for their homeland. This is their choice, and it has nothing to do with you!"
"How could it have nothing to do with me!?" Demon Suppressing King's voice was bitter: "If they follow me, I should protect them! If they follow me, I have the responsibility to take them to see their dreams come true! However, one by one, they … "
"Your Highness! The dream could not be accomplished overnight! Dreams required hard work from several generations! You are just the leader, you are not a god! "
Bai Ruyue's words caused Demon Suppressing King's body to tremble. He pulled Bai Ruyue away from his embrace, grabbed her shoulders, and stared straight at her!
"You, what did you just say?"
He was very excited, because more than once, he had used the same words to warn himself that he had to reduce the guilt and guilt in his heart.
"My prince, although Ruyue is still young, but Ruyue understands what kind of hero you are! War is not without bloodshed, and dreams are even more impossible to accomplish in one fell swoop! "
Bai Ruyue said in a gentle and unhurried manner:
"I don't know how many of those who followed you were influenced by your charm and magnanimity, but I believe that they all have a sincere heart! I believe that they do not wish to see their human homes invaded by the demons. They followed you because you are strong and powerful, and you have shown them the hope of protecting their country! "
Demon Suppressing King's lips slightly twitched: "But many people didn't die on the battlefield. They died in self-deception, died in the midst of many benefits!"
"That's still a game!"
"What about you?" Demon Suppressing King suddenly changed the topic and pointed the spear at her.
"Me?"
"Yes!" You are just a little girl beside me, and can only be considered to have just emerged from the shadows. Even if you are not good enough, your assassination has already come, isn't that so? "
Bai Ruyue stared blankly for a moment, then said: "Actually, the person who kidnapped me didn't think he could kill me."
"What?"
"He just wants to hang me on the Heavenly Stele naked, so that I will be disgraced and use this to humiliate you!" As Bai Ruyue spoke, her mouth twitched again.
"But I think there's something wrong with his head. What do you think my hanging the Heavenly Stele has to do with you? Am I not one of your servants? That kind of humiliation should only be done to the king! "
Demon Suppressing King looked at Bai Ruyue, and continued to twist his mouth: "If that's the case, then why is he choking your throat?"
Bai Ruyue blinked her eyes: "He thinks I'm stupid, she's angry out of embarrassment."
Demon Suppressing King didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Bai Ruyue, you're in the hands of someone else, and you still want to anger someone else? You call me stupid, but I think you're even more stupid! "
"Prince, you've already told me how stupid I was all night. I know I'm stupid, right?" Bai Ruyue lowered her head.
What are you doing, is he trying to comfort you? Why am I being called stupid again?
In fact, even though I have already taken control of the situation, I can still go along with the flow and find out who the person who tried to harm me is.
Hmph, is that stupid? I'm obviously smart!
"Bai Ruyue, I have countless of people who died because of these assassination attempts. I do not wish for you to be one of them, and even more so, I hope that I will not feel guilty because of this. Do you understand?"
Bai Ruyue was startled: "Guilty? Why do you have to apologize? It's not like you were the one to blame! "
"Why not? They can't hurt me, they can't shake me, they don't even dare to fight me head on. All they can do is to hurt the people around me. Is this not my fault? "
Hearing that, Bai Ruyue blinked her eyes, then laughed: "My prince, are you afraid that if I die, you'll be blamed?"
"Can't you blame me?"
"No way!" Bai Ruyue said very happily: "If that day really comes, it's my own fault for being too weak and being unable to protect myself. It has nothing to do with you!"
"Bullshit!" Demon Suppressing King glared at her: "You are now one of my men.
Bai Ruyue rolled her eyes, "My lord, I know that you are very proud and arrogant, but I do not wish to embarrass you by being weak, but I am Shi Mai, no matter how skilled I am in pill refining, I will always protect myself …"
"Do you think Shi Mai can't change?"
Bai Ruyue's heart skipped a beat, "Your Royal Highness, you mean to say …."
"I have a way to change Shi Mai so that you can cultivate, but …"
"But what? Speak! " Bai Ruyue's eyes shone with excitement — Opportunity! Opportunity! If the prince was willing to help her change her pulse, then wouldn't it be spring?
"Changing meridians is not an easy task. You will suffer a lot of pain."
"I'm not afraid!"
"It's not a question of whether you're afraid or not. It's a question of whether you can bear it!" Demon Suppressing King said as his face turned extremely serious, "This matter should wait until you become a Grade Seven Alchemist before speaking of it again."
"Until then?" Bai Ruyue was a little surprised.
The Prince nodded. "I will give you a chance to choose carefully! "Now, let's talk about the current situation!"
"What is it now?" Bai Ruyue had already remembered that she was comforting the Duke. However, the Duke didn't seem like he needed any comfort no matter how he looked at it.
"Draw that person's appearance." When the Demon Suppressing King finished speaking, Bai Ruyue shook her head: "I can't do this, I don't have the ability to draw."
"You said I would paint."
"That won't do." Bai Ruyue still shook her head.
"Why?"
"I've forgotten what the man looks like." Bai Ruyue looked like she couldn't remember what he had looked like, but in reality, she really couldn't remember the face of that Yan man who had pretended to be a servant. She won't say.
"It seems like this guy's appearance changing technique is really amazing. You and your team members actually don't remember a single one." After Demon Suppressing King finished speaking, he loosened both of Bai Ruyue's arms. "Tomorrow's Heaven's Sacrifice, you accompany me there."
"Me?"
"Yes!" Demon Suppressing King looked into Bai Ruyue's eyes: "With your identity, you are the one whom I love."
