Chen Ming felt veins popping on his forehead as he turned his gaze away, breaking away their nerve-wracking eye contact. This time, his pace of stripping had quickened.
He stripped out of those robes until he had nothing and quickly found some clothes lying on the side, looking extremely normal. A plain shirt and trousers of white and brown colors.
He successfully wore it all and turned around, raising his eyebrows. "What else, my lord? Do you expect me to do a strip dance too?"
"Do it." Gao Wen had a smirk on his face. "You wanted to bend me, didn't you? Why don't you give it a try? Until now, you did interest me, but your body is just so ordinary…. I can't even feel the slightest amount of fluctuation in my heart."
Chen Ming felt veins popping on his forehead all over again, but this time, he said nothing and pushed the man away, walking outside as he said without even turning back, "If you're hungry, follow me. Otherwise, I'm going to the dining room."
Gao Wen also shrugged and followed as he said, "You know the way?"
"I can ask."
"Well, I can tell you."
Chen Ming stopped and turned around slightly, asking, "Will you tell me?"
"Nope." The man had a mocking expression on his face. "Why should I help a puny human?"
Chen Ming gave out "I knew it" expression as he turned around and continued walking. As they continued onward, the shameless devil once again opened his mouth.
"Since you like cosplaying, why don't we make you a woman?"
"Huh?" Chen Ming was stunned after hearing those words. "What did you just say?"
"You're becoming a woman for me."
"Why should I?"
"Because you're living in my place, and you have to follow my orders." Gao Wen shrugged as he put his hands in his pockets and said, "You'd look pretty as a woman."
"Are you sure you're straight?" Chen Ming was confused as he looked back. "Straight men don't flirt with guys."
"Who told you that I'm straight? I can be a bi too."
"...."
It was useless talking to this guy. Every time Gao Wen opened his damned mouth, he would only trouble himself. It was better to practice silence in front of the man.
Chen Ming called out his system silently and asked, "Tell me romance value."
"The same." Chick showed the dashboard on his little tablet and shrugged before placing it on the ground. "Not even 1%."
"Oh..." Chen Ming's gaze turned colder as he walked faster than ever in that corridor. Since this devil lord only wanted to make a fool out of him, he would ignore him at all costs!
Of course, he could do something about it, but he was still not that much angered. In any case, the man hadn't really done anything so terrible to the point of forcing him to get out of his comfort zone and teach that guy a lesson.
In fact, he knew the man was a devil lord. So it would be better if he strayed away from the man's path and just finished his missions like a good and nice little host, but if his buttons were pushed beyond the limits…..
Even he didn't know what he would end up doing.
Once there was a senior in his school days who bullied him, but it was never extreme. The guy would corner him and would make him bring food every now and then. Of course, it was better that the bully paid for his own food, so Chen Ming was okay with doing such a menial service. After all, he only had to move a little muscle and nothing else.
But one day, the bully did something over the top, pushing Chen Ming's button so much so that he ended up bullying the bully master back. In the end, no one in the entire school touched Chen Ming. Rather, they were all afraid of him in the end.
No one dared to touch him by the end of his entire schooling, not even seniors.
Thus, he could teach any bully a lesson, but he didn't want to use his brain cells when he could just take it easy and rest all he wanted.
Thankfully, the devil lord seemed to have disappeared from behind him for some reason, letting him heave a sigh of relief. Just as he was walking forward, the butler came running from the other side. His face was pale as he rushed ahead and grabbed Chen Ming's shoulders, saying, "Young master, you should hide!"
Hide? Why?
"There's been an attack in the palace!" The butler looked anxious as he took a deep breath and said, "Young master, you'd better hide in your room for now. I'll bring some snacks until the mess sorts out."
Chen Ming was curious about the fight since he had never seen one, but thac didn't mean he would do this at the cost of his life. Thus, he shrugged and said, "I'll go back."
He turned around and walked back to his room, closing the door behind him. Of course, he wouldn't stop at just that knowing there was a fight going on.
Thus, he also opened the door and looked outside with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Before this, he didn't have a chance to look outside since he never opened the window ever since he arrived here. This, he was stunned when he glanced upon beautiful gardens being destroyed by werewolves. Some of them when they thrashed the beautiful rose vases on the side of the pathway that led to the main door were also destroyed one after another.
Colorful flowers scattered all over the ground, creating a destructive yet beautiful scenario.
Chen Ming leaned on the frame of the window, hiding behind the curtains as he watched the scene playing. He had seen such events in those movies, and he didn't think reality was so boring.
At least, they would show the young men actively destroying everything in slow motions at different angles. Of course, they would reduce the boring part where the werewolves screamed like crazed wolves who were bereft of their entire families.
Chen Ming frowned as he heard another roar. But just as he was watching, he saw the biggest werewolf, or a four legged animal, he had ever seen!
