THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
200 Years (Mysterious Spirit and Mysterious Power 3)

Three days had already passed, and Lili was still not out of that Deathly Forest. A number of people increasingly crowded the area in front of the death forest, not least the royal family. They were all impatiently waiting for a confident little girl to conquer the forest. Some were waiting for him to come out safely, some were hoping he would die in the forest. Lili's parents were increasingly wary of her eldest son. It had been three days, none of them had seen Lili come out safely. Alternately, they waited for Lili in front of the forest. No exception to his brother. He even willingly slept in the forest with his parents, to wait for the return of his brother.

"Mother, when's sister coming home?"

"We wait and pray, may your brother return safely."

"Mother, I feel sorry for you."

"Why?"

"What if you don't get out safely? What's..."

"Hussttt, don't think recklessly!"

"Sorry mother."

Suddenly the wind blew. The entire surrounding trees swayed and let out a rowdy sound. The clear sky, suddenly covered by thousands of black clouds. Thousands of birds flew up into the sky, as if they sensed the presence of an extremely frightening power. Even the King sensed that an enormous force was heading towards him. Seeing the expression on his father's shrunken face, the crown prince turned his gaze toward the entrance of the death forest. There's nothing weird there. It was just that a very dazzling beam of light came out from there. The glare light came and drew closer, releasing its light towards them. Everyone covered both of his eyes slowly with their hands, as the light was so dazzling. Behind the dazzling light that came out from the forest of death, there was a shadow that was walking in the middle of the glare. Slowly the glare light began to dim. How shocked both of Lili's parents were to see her eldest child walk out of the forest safely without the slightest injury to her body. However, there was something different about Lili. The look from his two eyes was very much different from his old self. The look in those eyes is like the look in someone else's eyes. A gaze filled with hatred, vengeance and ready to kill anyone who tried to stand in his way. With a very different appearance than usual, it clearly shows that his present self is very much different from his former self. It was because Lili's body was being possessed by the spirit of the man she met in the forest of death. The charismatic aura that emanated from each step coupled with the gaze from both eyes, painted that if it was not Lili, but a male figure, then it would be an attraction for women. Not even the exception of the royal family, especially the empress. His gaze focused on Lili who was walking towards him. The king sitting next to the empress felt that there was something strange about Lili. However, he did not discover what it was. With a cold smile on her face, Lili walked towards the King and empress. However, his footsteps came to a halt and he turned his head towards his parents. Seeing her parents holding haru back, seeing her son return safely, Lili replied to them with a smile and turned to walk towards them.

Unknowingly, both his mother's father and his sister embraced him simultaneously. Lili smiled and hugged them back.

"Mom's father, I'm home."

"Thank God, you're back son" said the mother, wiping her tears.

"Sister, where have you been? What the hell are you doing? We're all worried about you."

"I did a lot of things in the woods. Do you want to hear my story?"

"You want to." Lexi replied spoiledly.

Lili stroked her sister's head gently.

"Lili, thank goodness you're back safely."

"Thank you dad. Dad, why are you a little bit skinny?!"

"That's because I thought of you, brother?"

"Hehe."

Hearing that, his father smiled. Suddenly there was applause from the king. Lili turned her head and saw the King and empress sitting side by side. The gaze of his originally warm eyes in front of his family, now turned sharp and cruel. His two eyes were as though they were red as a burning fire. Suddenly a voice came from behind Lili's body.

"Control yourself, Your Majesty. Did you forget who you were in?" said Lili who was standing right behind her own body.

"I understand. Sorry." replied the spirit of the man who was in Lili's body slowly.

Lili could understand how the spirit of the man was feeling. Seeing his much loved wife sitting side by side with another man. Even more painful, he did not see his son at all at this time. The feeling of longing that had been pent up for so many years, had to end with an extremely miserable sight in front of him. Right now residing within Lili's body and controlling her body was the man's spirit. They communicate by using telepathy. Lili could only sigh and hope that the spirit did not act strangely than usual. Because it will raise suspicion on everyone. Lili walked towards the King and empress and saluted the two.

"Greetings Your Majesty the King and the empress, may the longevity always be" Lili said as she slowly raised her face and looked towards the empress.

Seeing himself being stared at by a little girl who was younger than his two children, made him become misbehaved. He felt the gaze of the girl standing in front of him right now, very familiar. I don't know where he's seen it. Seeing Lili staring intently at the empress, the King dehemed. He felt that his wife had become misbehaved just because of the gaze of a little girl.

"Lili, congratulations on your success. You have proven that you are capable of conquering this forest of death. The forest is a scourge in this country. Can you tell me even to all of us present here, what the forest of death looks like? The famous forest eats people. When a person enters it, he will never come back alive. If he is lucky, he will return safely. And you've proven that. What an accomplishment to be cherished."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Honor. Please forgive Your Majesty, according to my servant, this forest of death is not much different from other forests."

"Hahaha, you're so different from a girl your age."

"What does Your Majesty mean?!"

"You're more like..."

Haven't had time to continue his words, suddenly the King's heart was racing. Both of his eyes opened as if he could not believe what he was seeing right now. He saw Lili who was standing in front of him, not the Lili he knew. The figure of the little girl he had seen before as he was about to enter the forest of death, was very different from the figure standing in front of him. Indeed, the one standing in front of him right now was Lili, but the one inside Lili's body, was not Lili, but someone else. Seeing the King looking at her with a surprised look on his face with sweat drenching his forehead, Lili smiled coldly at him. Seeing the cold smile floating on his face, suddenly the King saw very clearly that the one standing in front of him was not a little girl but a figure of a man he had known for a long time. The man smiled coldly at him, as if he was mocking him. Suddenly he heard the empress mention the name of someone he knew. The king turned his head towards the empress, and saw his wife wearing an expression of disbelief and haru on her face. His wife's eyes were glazed over and tears broke and wet her two snow-white cheeks.

"Sano!" the Empress said in a soft tone

Hearing the name, the King turned to look at Lili. How shocked he was to see Sano standing in front of him, not Lili. The mother's other brother who had long disappeared, finally he could see her back in the body of the little girl. It still looks the same as before. Large height and still handsome face, with a luxurious appearance but elegant.

"Have you seen me for a long time, brother Sano?" ask the King, grinning.

Whether this was a coincidence or a hallucination, unknowingly, the King called out to Lili with a different designation and made everyone dumbfounded to hear it. A name that had not been heard for a long time, finally everyone heard it back from the mouth of the King.
