The Demon King's heir
CHAPTRE. 16 - STAR II FLOWER

Falling down from the top of a cliff, makes both of them think that their lives will end here alone. And when the head almost touched the ground, suddenly a giant wolf appeared under them and made his back as their footrest.

Sure enough, the two felt no pain after landing on the wolf's fine feathers. It felt warm and like nothing had happened to them. Shin Yixuan instantly woke up as she heard the sound of the wolf snoring beneath her while Shu Ye chose to remain silent on it.

”Uncle Wolf!” exclaimed Shin Yixuan who instantly knew that this wolf was Guanyun who had not long ago disappeared from his sight.

Guanyun could not speak to him while he was in the form of a wolf. He had to return to human form in order to talk to her. Therefore, shortly after, he changed his form into a human by carrying Shin Yixuan in both hands while, Shu Ye he forgot because he did not know her yet. As a result, Shu Ye still fell on the ground and no one pitied her when, the purpose of coming here was to help Shin Yixuan look for star flowers.

”Yang is right! I'm a human child too! Why am I the only one not helped?!” ketus Shu Ye while holding his head that hit the ground.

Guanyun was stunned when he saw her and immediately replied, ”Sorry, I am not aware of your existence. Besides, I don't know you. So, why would I help you? Very free right?” he answered with a happy smile on his face.

”Cih! Basic animal! Choose thanks!” shu Ye grumbled in his mind.

”Uncle wolf! Can you put me down? My legs are fine.” said Shin Yixuan who was uncomfortable because Guanyun kept carrying him since he fell earlier.

”Take it easy. You are lighter than that child.” Guanyun replied as he pointed towards Shu Ye and Shu Ye felt accused of it. ”... I can guess it. Lately, your rations have been reduced for saving this child. That's why your weight is so much lighter than it was a few months ago. Already saved, he does not even know thank you.”

”Hah? Why should I be the moons here?” inner Shu Ye who was staring at Guanyun was both astonished and annoyed even though the two of them were currently unfamiliar with each other.

”Take it easy. Mother didn't cut down on my food rations. Shu Ye I already considered like a brother at home and talked about my weight, maybe it was just the feeling of Uncle.” replied Shin Yixuan with her happy face and her words, it had made Shu Ye surprised then fell silent in her daydream.

”Hah? Strange.” Inner Guanyun who directly lowered Shin Yixuan and let her stand in front of him.

”Thank you Uncle Wolf has helped us. Sorry if my arrival interfered with Uncle.”'s nap Shin Yixuan said.

Guanyun looked at him and said in his mind, ”Thank God he doesn't remember yesterday's incident. If only the seventh King had not come in time, it was possible that I would not have spoken to him at this time.” his inner voice immediately said, ”No problem. By the way, why are you guys here? Is there anything you're looking for?”

Shin Yixuan immediately replied, ”Dad told me to look for star flowers. He said it was yellow and there was a red pattern on each end of his petals. In addition, the flower has a very round shape.”

After hearing that, Guanyun looked confused and had thought about it for a while. ”... What flower is that? I who have lived for hundreds of years just do not know what flowers are.” replied Guanyun.

”But, Dad said I should look for him. Father also did not say where I could find the flower.” Shin Yixuan said.

Guanyun who heard it was stunned. He laughed and said, ”I think the seventh king has lied to you. There is no such thing as a star flower in this place. She just made it up so she could be alone with your mom.”

Behind him, Shu Ye was laughing at him at the moment, and after that he said, ”I told you there is something strange about your words. But, I purposely did not say so that I could go for a walk out.”

Instantly, Shin Yixuan's eyeballs became teary after hearing all of their words. He slightly rubbed his eyes and said, ”... Why hasn't anyone told me that since? I am very worried about my mother's situation right now. I can't stand to see him hurt like that.”

BRAKK!

A hard kick hit Guanyun's face causing him to bounce and topple some trees. Thousands of extremely long hairs gathered together and instantly tied Shu Ye and Guanyun who were standing there. The figure of the green-eyed woman stood between the hairs while carrying Shin Yixuan in both hands.

”How dare you guys make her cry!” shouted the woman who turned out to be the goddess of fortune telling named ShuYuzhu. He returned from the depths of Lake Shoyu after he and Guanyun were lectured by Guju for days. Plus, he let out his anger that made the atmosphere of the palace so gripping for several weeks.

”Uhh! Disgust! Is this real hair?” muttered Shu Ye who looked astonished because for the first time he saw hair all along let alone being able to move like a snake that was about to bite.

”Why did you kick me? I just told him about the flower. After all, I saved him earlier.” said Guanyun with a head that poured blood and bruises all over his body.

”Your own fault! Why do you make other people's children cry like this!” shuyuzhu snapped with his hideous face that left Guanyun speechless for a moment.

Not wanting this to happen for so long, Shin Yixuan showed her happy face in front of ShuYuzhu and took the time to say, ”... I'm fine Brother Yuzhu. Thank you for worrying about me. I also have to go home to see Dad.”

ShuYuzhu looked at him and asked, ”You sure you're fine together with the boy?” he said while looking at Shin Yixuan. However, his feelings turned sad as he did so. He was reminded of the shadow of the future that Shin Yixuan would experience a few years later. Those years, were the worst years he would experience someday.

”Of course. Me and him have been close enough for a long time.” replied Shin Yixuan who made ShuYuzhu stunned.

”Since long? Was that a few days, he thought it was so long?” silent Inner Shu Ye looked at him in wonder.

ShuYuzhu was silent for a while. Shortly after, his long hair began to shorten and disappear from their sight. He had also taken Shin Yixuan down from both hands. His face looks worried. But he tried not to show it.

Shortly after, he saw Shin Yixuan and Shu Ye go back to his house. The anxiety seemed to be out of his mind. He even had time to make Guanyun feel curious even he asked, ”... You think about it again, huh?”

Shuyuzhu was silent for a while and he just nodded his head.

Guanyun sighed and said, ”You're always worried about whoever you predict is bad. I'm sure the boy will be fine until he's 16. Besides, he's not alone. Child who comes from the Lun family, might help him a little later.”

Shuyuzhu remains in the same position. Both his hands trembled and his mouth briefly muttered, ”A minute. Penalties from the sky will be dropped.”
