Chapter 129.2


At this moment, someone suddenly walked into the dining room.


“Master, I brought what you asked for.”


Xiao Tangqiu looked up and saw that the person was Lily Marlene. He was so shocked that he almost dropped his fork, but he quickly realized that with a great demon king like the Abyss Demon, he could resurrect whichever subordinate he wanted to resurrect. Everyone had unlimited +1life, +1life, +1life, continuing to live until the end of the world.


Lily Marlene apparently also saw Xiao Tangqiu sitting at the other end of the table, but she didn’t express any opinion on the person who killed her with his own hands. Her expression didn’t change at all, she just knelt down in front of Shen Yuan with a reverent expression and held up a huge treasure chest in her hands.


It was a half-human-tall treasure chest, but she lifted it effortlessly.


Shen Yuan nodded, “Pour it out.”


Lily Marlene poured out the contents of the treasure chest without hesitation and poured out golden keys all over the place.


Xiao Tangqiu, “…?”


Seeing Xiao Tangqiu’s dazed face, Shen Yuan curled his lips and smiled, “I see that you seem to like the golden keys in my treasure room, so I had her go and scavenge another box of golden keys.”


Was it okay to just say “scavenge”?


…No, don’t increase his workload anymore!


Shen Yuan nodded to Lily Marlene, calmly ordered, “Take it to the treasure room.”


Xiao Tangqiu, “…”


“Since you like my treasure room so much, it will be your room from today on,” Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows, “I will let someone put a bed there. Of course, you can also choose to sleep directly on the pile of gold coins.”


Xiao Tangqiu laughed dryly, “You are too generous.”


The next day, Xiao Tangqiu continued to tour the palace under Shen Yuan’s “enthusiasm”, but because the palace was so big, they still hadn’t finished the tour by evening.


When Xiao Tangqiu heard Shen Yuan say “I’m going to rest”, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Shen Yuan didn’t show any murderous intention at him for the time being, it made his neck itch to be around a great demon who didn’t even blink when killing. Not to mention he was still thinking about the key to that black door!


But when Xiao Tangqiu returned to the treasure room to look through keys all night, he found Shen Yuan following him. He paused, “Aren’t you going to go back to rest?”


Shen Yuan nodded, “Yes, I’m going to rest.”


Xiao Tangqiu, “…Then why are you following me?”


Shen Yuan calmly said, “I had someone move my bed to the treasure room so we can rest together.”


Xiao Tangqiu, “No, wait, why?”


Shen Yuan said with a look of course, “Don’t you humans sleep with pets when you sleep at night?”


Xiao Tangqiu, “&#k2026;Who told you that? No, wait, who’s your pet?”


Shen Yuan glanced at Xiao Tangqiu with a half-smile.


Xiao Tangqiu weighed the weight of self-esteem versus life and ultimately took a step back, “Okay, whatever you say is how it is. You’re right&#k2026;”


When Xiao Tangqiu followed Shen Yuan back to the treasure room, as expected, the gold coin mountain in the room had lessened. The gold mountain at the center of the room had been diminished and parted to two sides to make room for a king-sized bed.


Shen Yuan climbed onto the big bed without any hurry then laid down and looked at Xiao Tangqiu.


Xiao Tangqiu’s footsteps stopped and countless book titles flashed across his mind in an instant, That Night I Climbed into the Big Demon King’s Bed, The Domineering Demon’s Big Bed


Wait! Stop, stop! Shut up, brain!


Xiao Tangqiu climbed onto Shen Yuan’s bed with a heavy heart.


He laid down on the bed, his mood subtle and complicated. He forced himself to close his eyes, and his mind was on Shen Yuan for a while, then on the Abyss Demon for a while… In the end, the two became the same person.


He suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the over dozen-meter-tall ceiling. After an unknown amount of time, he heard Shen Yuan’s steady and slow breathing from beside him.


Shen Yuan seemed to be asleep.


Xiao Tangqiu waited for a while after Shen Yuan fell asleep completely before he carefully got out of bed, planning to continue looking through the golden keys.


Although he failed with a bunch of golden keys yesterday, after so many failures, he had roughly figured out the size and shape of the real key of the black door. All the unqualified golden keys could be eliminated on sight.


Xiao Tangqiu got into the gold coin mountain and searched for the key for a while, but suddenly heard the sound of turning over from the big bed behind him. He startled and quickly turned around and laid back on the bed.


He tried to close his eyes and pretended to be asleep. After a while, he felt that Shen Yuan seemed to have turned around and faced him.


He closed his eyes and waited for a while and when he felt that Shen Yuan had no other movement, he cautiously opened his eyes only to meet Shen Yuan’s face.


Shen Yuan slept peacefully, his long eyelashes curved down, casting a small shadow under his eyelids, his warm breath lightly blew on Xiao Tangqiu’s face, making Xiao Tangqiu’s cheeks uncontrollably heat up.


Just as Xiao Tangqiu stared at Shen Yuan’s sleeping face in a daze, he suddenly saw a string of something hanging from Shen Yuan’s neck.


It seemed to be a bunch of black keys dangling under Shen Yuan’s clothes.


Xiao Tangqiu’s heart thumped wildly and he suddenly realized something. If the room at the end of the corridor was really important to Shen Yuan, too important for anyone to enter, then Shen Yuan would definitely carry that set of keys with him!


He instantly understood that the black keys that Shen Yuan hung around his neck were most likely the real keys to that black door!


His heart beated wildly.


Shen Yuan was still soundly asleep, his breathing steady and slow.


Xiao Tangqiu’s heart was beating so fast that even though he knew that Shen Yuan was sleeping, he couldn’t help feeling flustered and panicked. After a long time of psyching himself up, he gritted his teeth and slowly stretched out his hand towards Shen Yuan’s neck—


He felt as if he was stealing treasure from under the belly of a sleeping dragon, plotting against the cub of a sleeping tigress… He felt like he was walking on thin ice, every second feeling like a century.


After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Tangqiu finally reached into Shen Yuan’s clothes, and his fingers touched the string of black keys.


The next step was how to get this set of keys without waking up Shen Yuan…


He analyzed for a long time before he carefully untied the rope.


That black key finally fell into his hands.


After getting the key, Xiao Tangqiu waited patiently for a few seconds. Seeing that Shen Yuan didn’t open his eyes, he quickly and carefully turned over and got out of bed and then tiptoed out of the treasure room.


After walking out of the treasure room, he ran towards the room at the end of the corridor without hesitation.


Soon, he returned to the black door again.


Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t wait to use that black key to open the black door.


Click.


The lock opened.


His heart raced and he was about to twist the doorknob to open the door, but at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.


“Are you sure you want to open that door?”


Xiao Tangqiu was startled and looked back to find that Shen Yuan had quietly appeared behind him at some point.


At this moment, he felt heart-rendering despair… To be discovered so quickly, what was he doing for so long earlier? Or was it that Shen Yuan had actually realized from the beginning and was just teasing him?!


But contrary to Xiao Tangqiu’s expectations, Shen Yuan’s expression was neither angry nor upset. He just looked at Xiao Tangqiu calmly, his eyes were calm, and his tone was calm.


“Are you sure you want to open that door?”


Xiao Tangqiu was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth, “…Why won’t you let me open it?”


Shen Yuan said lightly, “Don’t you like this demon king’s palace? There’s everything here, even if it’s not here yet, I can change it for you right away. What else are you dissatisfied with?”


Xiao Tangqiu felt that Shen Yuan’s attitude had become a little strange, but he still stubbornly said, “So what? I want to be an independent human being more than a demon’s pet.”


Shen Yuan sighed softly, “That’s not impossible.”


Xiao Tangqiu was keenly aware that the change in Shen Yuan’s attitude should be related to the room behind the black door, “What’s really in this room?”


Shen Yuan glanced at Xiao Tangqiu lightly, “You wouldn’t want to know.”


Xiao Tangqiu, “…Then I need to know even more.”


He stared at Shen Yuan closely for fear that Shen Yuan would rush to grab the keys from him. But Shen Yuan just stood there, looking at him with calm eyes, motionless.


Xiao Tangqiu asked again, “What’s really in this room?”


Shen Yuan took a deep look at Xiao Tangqiu, “You wouldn’t want to know… Don’t open the door.”


There seemed to be a bit of sadness in his eyes. Xiao Tangqiu didn’t know if he imagined it because the emotion in his eyes quickly disappeared.


Xiao Tangqiu scoffed, “Then I have to open it!”


Shen Yuan gave a long sigh, “…Don’t open the door.”


Xiao Tangqiu paused for a while. If Shen Yuan had rushed over and grabbed the key directly from the beginning, he would have opened the door without hesitation, but Shen Yuan’s show of weakness made him hesitate.


What was in the room behind this black door? What could possibly be in there?


Was there anything that scared Shen Yuan? Were there weapons powerful enough to kill Shen Yuan?


Shen Yuan gave Xiao Tangqiu a deep look, “Don’t open the door… You’ll regret it.”


Xiao Tangqiu coldly laughed, “Even if I regret it, don’t I already have nothing to lose? My friends, my teammates, everyone I know… They are all dead by your hands. Now I have nothing, I have nothing to lose, and I have nothing to regret.”


As soon as he finished speaking, he twisted the door handle without hesitation and pushed open the black door.
