The Demon King's heir
CHAPTRE. 11 - BOY
Three days later.
”Beautiful once.”
Shin Yixuan stared towards a rose that was growing around her backyard. The rose has a bright red color like blood and always shines when night falls. Shin Yixuan herself was not aware that the flower was growing in her residence quickly when before, it had never grown there.
When Shin Yixuan was about to touch her, suddenly the rose died and blackened when she touched only a finger. ”... What the hell's going on? I didn't do anything to her?” muttered Shin Yixuan who looked puzzled.
To be sure, Shin Yixuan tried to touch another rose. But the result remains the same. The rose died suddenly when she touched it. ”A- what happened exactly? Why can't I touch it?” muttered Shin Yixuan who looked sad as well as feeling frightened when it happened to her.
His gaze was then fixed on the voice coming from a thicket not far in front of him. The voice did not stop for a while and made Shin Yixuan even more curious. He tried to approach her slowly. However, when he was nearby, the voice suddenly stopped.
”Don't-don't he's a wild animal.” Inner Shin Yixuan who instantly fell silent in her current position. His face looked terrified as he no longer heard it. Then, shortly afterwards he heard the sound of a scratching ground being dug out using his sharp hooves.
”Reacted right. He's a beast! I have to go.” Shin Yixuan looked increasingly frightened and her steps continued to walk backwards away from her.
However, as he was doing so, a small hand appeared coming out from within the bushes. The hand was filled with cuts and bruises that had never been lost before. It certainly made Shin Yixuan think that there was a beast eating a human child. However, it was impossible for the savage beast to eat without a sound like this.
Shortly after, he walked closer to the bushes in front of him. For a while, he felt that there was nothing strange about the bush and that a terrible sound came out of it. Then, at that moment he tried to see someone lying there.
He looked surprised when he saw a child his age lying wounded with blood filling his clothes. This child did not seem to be attacked by a pack of beasts but rather, he had just fallen off a cliff and was trying to crawl towards this place.

”Look at who came to visit here!” exclaiming the first Demon King named, Lu Yuan's arrogance welcomed the arrival of Luo Hein who had returned to his palace that was in the demon realm.
”We almost knocked down Mu Palace because you have not returned for hundreds of years.” said the second Demon King, the greed of Ma Zhixun.
”That's the case, he went to the mortal realm to create his own bloodline. After all, he was very old and his heart was almost destroyed. He will definitely not last long and his position will be replaced by his own Son.” continued the fourth Demon King, The envious Le Xingyan.
”You still can't stop leaving your habits?” luo Hein asked who had arrived there and next to him Guju was waiting for him.
The third demon king, A-Ling's excess desire looked at her cynically and replied, ”We're just curious. Why would a cruel Demon King like you be able to get a human girl. Did you use your magic to do it?”
”Huh! It feels pointless that he did it!” chirping Lu Yuan. ”... His five-year-old son was completely unreliable. He even showed his kindness in front of everyone who had done evil to him. At that time, I firmly believed that your own Son had forbidden you to kill those humans. And I think the boy would rather die at the hands of his own father than be the cruel seventh Demon King.”
Hearing this ramble made Luo Hein feel annoyed. Although he was the first-born Demon King however, he was nonetheless placed in the last position due to his almost human-like nature. In the end he could only harden his fist and hold back the anger that would overflow at any time.
Luo Hein turned to Guju who was standing next to him and said, ”Let's go back and never come here.” he said slowly as he walked out of the large room.
Before leaving, Guju took the time to ask, ”Is Your Majesty not angry? Your Majesty is not as usual. If you continue like this, the other six Kings will be even more eager to fight you.”
Luo Hein slightly turned towards Guju who was behind him and replied, ”No today. I was lazy to follow them all. Very free if you talk to those who do not want to hear you talk.” after that he really left the place.

”Hei! Are you conscious? Which part still hurts?” Shin Yixuan asked a five-year-old boy she had found under a bush. And then, he took her into his room when Shin Buyen was not home.
The brown-haired boy opened his eyes slowly as soon as he no longer felt any pain in his entire body. Right then, his gaze immediately turned to Shin Yixuan who was sitting on top of her.
”This is where?” muttered the boy who looked confused.
Anxiously, Shin Yixuan replied, ”Thank God you've come to your senses. I was worried because your wounds were so bad and almost rotted.”
”What happened to me?” ask the boys.
”I should have asked. What happened to you that you were so badly injured?” said Shin Yixuan.
The boy looked confused. He then shook his head and said, ”I don't remember anything. I also don't know why I could be at your house.”
Shin Yixuan was shocked after hearing that. He then watched her for a few moments. From his injuries he already knew that this child had fallen from the cliff before after being chased by a group of people who were unknown to him. However, he did not want this child to experience fear once he remembered the incident that happened to him earlier.
”Then do you remember your own name?” ask Shin Yixuan.
The child was stunned and immediately looked at him in confusion. He had thought for a while and shortly after, he replied, ”I can still remember it. If I'm not mistaken, my name is Shu Ye.”
”Yixuan? Who else did you bring to your room?” asked Shin Buyen who had come suddenly whereas before, Shin Yixuan did not hear footsteps from any direction.
