Chapter379 Did I make a mistake
"Darling, you finally came back?"
The Infernal Queen had a sultry voice that sounded like lingering piano music. Her tone was filled with the coquetry and melancholy of a woman that felt lovesick. It was pleasant to the ears and moving. It caused one to feel distraught.
The Infernal Queen took light steps with an elegant posture. Under her gorgeous dress was a voluptuous and curvy figure. Her beauty was stifling.
When Sunless and the silver-haired girl saw the four figures walking from the horizon, they immediately recognized the familiar black-haired youth. They had spontaneously headed forward, but the Infernal Queen was faster than them.
Upon hearing the Infernal Queen say such words with a petty pout, Sunless and the silver-haired girl felt a jolt through their minds. They could not help but come to a stop as they cast their gazes at the Infernal Queen.
The only person that could be so intimately addressed by the Infernal Queen as 'Darling' was the Infernal domain's Infernal King!
And at that moment, the Infernal Queen had apparently said those words to the Infernal King.
The Infernal King was back?
Sunless and the silver-haired girl looked over warily, but the direction the Infernal Queen was heading in was where the four figures were coming from.
Where was the Infernal King?
When Shi Xiaobai came from a distance away, he similarly saw Sunless and the silver-haired girl in the pavilion. However, he soon saw an extremely beautiful snake-haired woman heading towards him.
Shi Xiaobai's eyes could not help but automatically land onto the snake-haired woman's eyes because he could sense the beautiful eyes staring at him.
As their eyes met, Shi Xiaobai immediately felt a certain set of emotions emitting from the crystal-like eyes.
Such a look and emotions were something Shi Xiaobai had previously seen before.
Kali frequently used to look at him in such a manner. As for the snake-haired girl, the emotions in her eyes were even more intense.
However, the trio beside Shi Xiaobai came to a stop with drastic changes to their expressions. They turned their heads to survey their surroundings as they became nervous.
The beautiful snake-haired woman in front of them was too prominent. The trio immediately recognized her with a glance.
Infernal Queen Medusa. Any trial-taker that previously went to the Infernal domain and was lucky to meet the Infernal Queen Medusa would leave behind a description of her—beauty that topples countries, unfathomable, world's greatest beauty, second strongest person in the Infernal domain!
The trio immediately understood the Infernal Queen's charm, but had no mood to enjoy it because they could clearly sense a formless threat with every step the Infernal Queen took.
Dangerous!
Very dangerous!
Extremely dangerous!
This was the first feeling the Infernal Queen gave to the trio.
And the words the Infernal Queen said made them immediately turn wary!
The person the Infernal Queen referred to could only be the Infernal King.
And the meaning of the sentence was... The Infernal King had returned?
Pulp Farmer and company immediately surveyed their surroundings nervously, hoping to catch sight of the Infernal King.
Noticing the trio beside him stopping, Shi Xiaobai immediately turned his eyes away from the snake-haired woman. He slowly came to a halt and turned back curiously. "What's the matter?"
Liu Yu was snapped out of his daze and remembered that Shi Xiaobai did not know of Medusa's identity. He immediately warned him with a whisper, "Be careful. This snake-haired woman is the wife of the Infernal King, Infernal Queen Medusa!"'
Shi Xiaobai was surprised as he turned to look at the graceful snake-haired woman who was still walking over. The woman suddenly appeared three meters from him when she was a few hundred meters away just an instant ago.
Shi Xiaobai's heart jumped slightly, but he did not sense any hostility from the woman. As such, he did not make much of a reaction.
As for Pulp Farmer and company, they jumped out of their skin as they took on a battle stance!
But at this moment, the Infernal Queen swept her eyes across the trio.
The trio immediately turned their heads away, to the point of even turning their entire bodies.
Legends said that the Infernal Queen Medusa's stare could petrify enemies that looked into her eyes. The trio did not dare to risk it and immediately chose to avert their gazes.
"Darling, are these three people your...friends?"
The Infernal Queen's sultry voice sounded as the trio turned their heads in surprise.
What was the meaning of those words?
Shi Xiaobai was slightly surprised because when the Infernal Queen was saying that, she was clearly looking at him. He said with a frown, "Are you talking to This King?"
A look of consternation appeared on the Infernal Queen's face. She asked curiously, "What does Darling mean? Would I call anyone else Darling?"
With that said, everyone was stunned.
Pulp Farmer and company widened their eyes while the silver-haired girl gaped. Even Sunless could not help but utter an 'Ah'.
The Infernal Queen actually addressed Shi Xiaobai as 'Darling'!
Heavens, what the hell is going on!?
As the party in question, Shi Xiaobai appeared rather calm. He looked at her and said calmly, "This King has never seen you before, so how can he be your husband?"
When the Infernal Queen heard this, she frowned slightly and said sadly, "Darling, what's the meaning of this? You have been away from home for several days, making me long for you. And the moment you come back, you pretend not to know me?"
Shi Xiaobai said helplessly, "Think again carefully. This King is really not your husband!"
The Infernal Queen said with scoff, "Darling, are you testing me? You change guises every time when out in the external world, but I have accompanied you by your side for such a long period of time. Even if you disguise yourself as a wizened old man, I would be able to recognize you with a glance, much less you being a youth! Darling, stop pulling my leg!"
After the Infernal Queen said this, she took a step towards Shi Xiaobai.
As a knee-jerk reaction, Shi Xiaobai immediately took a step backwards as he said with a deep voice, "You are truly mistaken. This King is not your husband."
The Infernal Queen came to a stop as she gaped slightly before lowering her head. She said softly, "Did I do something wrong?"
The look of her who was about to cry was one that made anyone that saw her to love and pity her.
Shi Xiaobai frowned slightly. The snake-haired woman's expression and demeanor did not look fake. It did not look anything like acting.
But this was really the first time he was seeing the snake-haired woman, so he was obviously not the woman's husband.
Furthermore, Liu Yu had just warned him that the woman was the Infernal Queen, the wife of the Infernal King.
If the Infernal Queen addressed him as her husband, wouldn't that make him the Infernal King?
Shi Xiaobai was rendered speechless. He was clearly here to kill the Infernal King, so how did he suddenly become the Infernal King?
Mistaken identity?
Or was it a conspiracy?
But with the Infernal Queen's identity, how could she use the term 'Darling' as part of a plot?
"He isn't."
A cold voice echoed at that moment.
Sunless walked from afar and calmly walked past the Infernal Queen, coming beside Shi Xiaobai.
Then, she turned around and looked straight into the Infernal Queen's eyes, saying with absolute certainty, "He is not the Infernal King."
The Infernal Queen turned her melancholic gaze from Shi
Xiaobai and gave Sunless a serious look. She softly said, "The person you have been waiting for in front of the Door of the Bravehearts is my husband?"
Sunless nodded before shaking her head. She said seriously, "It's him, but he's not your husband."
Sunless, who was always a person of few words, revealed a rare desire to obtain victory in this dispute.
Pulp Farmer and company also snapped out of their daze. However, they did not know what to say. They obviously did not believe that Shi Xiaobai was the Infernal King, but they similarly did not think that the Infernal Queen would use the Infernal King's name for 'acting'.
What the hell was the situation?
Shi Xiaobai sighed and looked at the Infernal Queen before saying, "You must have been mistaken for some reason. This King isn't the Infernal King, nor does This King know you."
The Infernal Queen sighed similarly and said faintly, "Shi Xiaobai, you have a red mole beneath your right armpit, and a birthmark on the left side of your chest. Try explaining, did I make a mistake?"

Chapter380 I know every inch of your body!
"Shi Xiaobai, you have a red mole at the bottom of your right armpit, and a birthmark on your left chest. Try explaining, did I make a mistake?"
The Infernal Queen's words were like a bolt of lightning out of the blue, startling everyone present. Even Shi Xiaobai was momentarily left stunned.
The few of them had never mentioned the name Shi Xiaobai, but the Infernal Queen was able to naturally call it out. But of course, if the Infernal Queen wanted to obtain Shi Xiaobai's name, it would probably not be difficult.
However, how did the Infernal Queen know about the birthmark on the left side of his chest?
Shi Xiaobai was stunned. He really had a birthmark on his left chest, but ever since he crossed worlds, he had never mentioned this to anyone. How did the Infernal Queen know of the birthmark on the left side of his chest?
And even more crazy was the Infernal Queen mentioning the red mole underneath his right armpit.
Was there a red mole underneath Shi Xiaobai's right armpit?
Even Shi Xiaobai himself did not know. After all, he did not have a fetish of using a mirror to look at his armpit.
How did the Infernal Queen know of something that even he did not know?
But by providing three pieces of information in such a certain manner, with two of them already correct, there was no reason for the third piece of information to be baloney.
However, this third piece of information that Shi Xiaobai could not judge its veracity was something only a person extremely close to him could learn of. In Shi Xiaobai's memory, there probably wasn't a chance for others to peep at his right armpit.
Then, how did the Infernal Queen learn of this information?
Did his right armpit really have a red mole?
Obviously, Shi Xiaobai could not take off his clothes on the spot to test its veracity. He could only look suspiciously at the Infernal Queen and ask with a serious tone, "How do you know of this?"
With this said, everyone looked incredulously at Shi Xiaobai.
Shi Xiaobai's words implied that the Infernal Queen was not speaking nonsense.
How did the Infernal Queen know that there was a birthmark on Shi Xiaobai's left chest and that he had a red mole underneath his armpit?
Could it be...
Pulp Farmer and company thought of a particular possibility as they drew a gasp.
The pure Sunless and the silver-haired girl naturally did not connect the dots. Their minds were similarly filled with questions. They obviously did not believe that Shi Xiaobai was the Infernal King, so they were puzzling how the Infernal Queen had gained knowledge of the three pieces of information.
The answer came out of the Infernal Queen's lips with a coy tone in her voice.
"Darling, why do you knowingly ask such a question? I know obviously because I've seen it with my own eyes."
What sounded like a sentence that could be taken for granted immediately widened the eyes of everyone.
Seen with her own eyes?
Wouldn't that mean...
Pulp Farmer and company shook their heads immediately. They told themselves to stop wildly guessing certain impossibilities!
Shi Xiaobai said in surprise, "This is clearly the first time This King is meeting you, how did you see it with your own eyes? When did you see it? Where did you see it?"
The Infernal Queen's tone of certainty and the seemingly flawless explanation quickly made Shi Xiaobai question if he had remembered wrongly, or if he had forgotten something.
Shi Xiaobai's confidence weakened. After all, he had lost consciousness for a period of time at the sixth level and he did not even know how he had reached the seventh level.
Could it be that he had met the Infernal Queen when he lost unconsciousness, to the point of being half naked in front of her?
No, even so, he shouldn't have become the Infernal King for no good reason!
Shi Xiaobai felt that he needed to figure out the matter.
And when the Infernal Queen heard Shi Xiaobai's question, she fell into a daze as her eyes shimmered. She bit her lips as though she was angry. After a few moments she sighed and said, "Are you trying to make it difficult for me?"
Shi Xiaobai pricked up his eyebrows slightly, "Making it difficult?"
The Infernal Queen lowered her head slightly and whispered, "Do you really want me to say when and where I saw it?"
Shi Xiaobai said with a nod, "Could it be that you actually don't have an answer?"
At this moment, Feng Yuanlin interjected, "Boss Shi Xiaobai, it's best to not continue asking, right?"
Shi Xiaobai turned his head and wondered out aloud, "Why not?"
The Infernal Queen looked up and gave Shi Xiaobai a serious look. Her fair skin blushed with a faint pinkness. As she bit her lower lip slightly, her eyes flashed with a struggling look before she sighed sadly. As though she was giving her everything, she suddenly turned her head sideways and said something that was nearly inaudible.
"Where else could I see it? Of course it was on the...bed."
With this said, the atmosphere turned silent.
Feng Yuanlin turned his head over and muttered, "I already said to not ask any further..."
Shi Xiaobai was stunned for a moment before reacting. He was not dumb enough to not understand what the sentence meant.
A close relationship between a couple was already the answer.
But Shi Xiaobai was not the Infernal King!
How could he have been in bed with the Infernal Queen before!?
Shi Xiaobai fell silent for a moment and looked at the Infernal Queen before seriously saying, "In the end, all this is because you mistook This King for your husband, and that This King is the Infernal King. But there must be a certain misunderstanding in this matter. Although the birthmark on the left chest is true, it might all be a coincidence. As for the red mole beneath the armpit, This King is not sure either, but there is no need to verify it. Because to tell you the truth, This King is not only not the Infernal King, but a Braveheart here to kill the Infernal King!"
If the Infernal Queen was not acting, then the only possibility was it being a misunderstanding. Since there was no way to resolve the misunderstanding, Shi Xiaobai did not plan on resolving it!
When the Infernal Queen heard this, she covered her mouth and said with a laugh, "Which Infernal King will call himself a Braveheart? To kill himself? Darling, you really are playful. I finally understand. You don't want to reveal your identity in front of these outsiders. It was my mistake, and I'm sorry. But when it’s already done, can you stop denying it? I know every inch of your body, must I reveal them?"
With this said, before Shi Xiaobai reacted, Pulp Farmer and company could not help but give Shi Xiaobai incredulous looks.
Was this fucking true?
They were afra
id of taking additional glances at Infernal Queen's beauty, so they could not help but imagine certain things when such bold words were said.
But the Infernal Queen suddenly said in a melancholic manner, "After all, Darling's clothes and shoes were sewn personally by me."
Pulp Farmer and company looked at each other.
Fuck, so that's what she meant. They nearly had their thoughts run wild.
However, what was strange was that after the Infernal Queen said those words, Shi Xiaobai suddenly turned silent. His eyebrows were knitted together, as though he was contemplating something.
There was a strange silence once again.
The Infernal Queen looked quietly at Shi Xiaobai.
Pulp Farmer and company looked at each other.
Why was Shi Xiaobai so silent at the moment?
Could it be...
Liu Yu suddenly said, "There are only seven Bravehearts that can reach the seventh level. This Penniless Priest is the seventh, and in the six people before me, there wasn't Shi Xiaobai."
Feng Yuanlin stared with widened eyes and exclaimed, "That can't be?"
Pulp Farmer turned his head towards Liu Yu and said in disbelief, "Are you telling me that this could be a fake Shi Xiaobai?"
There were only seven Bravehearts, but this Shi Xiaobai that suddenly appeared claimed to be the eighth Braveheart, while the Infernal Queen insisted that Shi Xiaobai was the Infernal King.
Then there was only one explanation.
The Shi Xiaobai in front of them was not the real Shi Xiaobai, but a disguise of the Infernal King!
Against such doubts, Shi Xiaobai remained silent. It was an eerie silence.
"Real one."
Sunless, who had been silent for a long period of time, suddenly spoke, "You are the real Shi Xiaobai. Aura cannot be faked."
Sunless looked at Shi Xiaobai quietly. The sword aura from Shi Xiaobai that she liked a lot could not be faked. He had to be the real Shi Xiaobai.
Pulp Farmer added on at that moment, "Back in Transcendence, Shi Xiaobai had saved my life. The Infernal King would not have done that. He's not the Infernal King!"
Feng Yuanlin nodded and said, "Boss Shi Xiaobai's performance at Transcendence is something I'll remember for life. I absolutely cannot believe that he is the Infernal King! Certainly not!"
