The Demon King's heir
CHAPTRE. 27 - PUNISHMENT
”Why should I choose it? Isn't life the thing I deserve and death the thing I have to face when the time comes? Then, why can I choose it?” asked the curious-looking Shin Yixuan at once wondering why Wang Ye should ask her this.
Wang Ye showed me a scroll inscribed with life and then opened it. It seems so clear that this scroll has a lot of writing that is not from the human world but rather, this writing is a God script that will not be understood by someone. The scroll was so long that it piled up under his feet.
”This is the thousands of events you face if you choose to live. There is a lot of suffering that you will experience and there will be so many people who leave you. Even your beloved sister will also leave someday.” explained Wang Ye while showing the scroll.
Shin Yixuan looked confused and did not understand. ”Can I know the reason why they want to leave me?” tanyakanya.
Wang Ye directly rolled back the long paper and replied, ”No. You never know what disaster you will face in your life. You won't be able to guess the time and you won't be able to joke with the circumstances. You were born alone and you will die alone. If you don't want to suffer then, choose death and you will start a new journey.”
”No.” Shin Yixuan directly replied, ”... I have no intention of dying now and I also know, no one wants to spend their time suffering for the rest of their lives
Wang Ye was speechless and looked at him with a judging look. Seeing that, Shin Yixuan began to feel that the atmosphere had turned awkward. That's why he continued, ”I know I'm too naive and never think about my goals going forward. Right now, I am only thinking about Furong. I still want to see him grow up and become a strong young man. That way, it's possible that people will like it and prepare a lot of places for it. But, if this time death is more on my side, I might be able to accept it.”
”.....”
Again Wang Ye was speechless as soon as he heard his words with the same expression. He sighed and kept the death scroll in his hand. ”... Not too naive but, children like you always choose to defend his life. Take this!” he said while throwing a roll of paper with life on it.
Wang Ye continued, ”You can come back. And you better hurry. Looks like the Gods are gathering to punish your Father.”

”What is this? My premonition was really bad.” Inner Shin Buyen who was carrying Shin Furong when a cloud of cloudiness suddenly just came over for no reason. Then, when that happened, Shin Furong cried quite loudly as soon as a strong wind blew past his thin skin.
”Don't cry, Furong. Mom is here. Everything will be fine.” said Shin Buyen gently as he tried to calm Shin Furong who was constantly crying. ”... Do I have to visit Yixuan who is not also back? But, Furong will be alone if she is left here.”
As Shin Buyen was about to step away from the increasingly cloudy cloud, a voice suddenly startled him to make him look back. ”... Lady Shin. There is something I want to tell you.” ShuYuzhu said, appearing at the entrance of her house with a serious-looking expression.

After the fight was almost over, Guxun gazed towards the crowd of cloudless clouds that were gathering somewhere. ”It seems like everything went according to plan.” muttered Guxun who directly stared at the exhausted-looking Guju. Blood poured out from his mouth and forehead.
For now, Guju is not as strong as Guxun. Their age is very much adrift, which is different from 100 years. So, it was unfair that Guju would have to fight with her brother who had cultivated a hundred years earlier than her.
”It looks like you can't continue the fight anymore. I think I should postpone it.” said Guxun while keeping his spear.
Guju bit her lower lip and said in annoyance, ”It has made me like this and you just want to leave me here?!” he said it out loud.
Guxun turned towards him and looked at him coldly. ”It is better to think about the current state of your King. He might be on the verge of his death.” after saying so, he finally disappeared and made Guju hold back her expression.

Shortly after, Shin Yixuan opened her eyes slowly. He then looked at the face of Shu Ye who looked so close to him. Feeling strange with the atmosphere around him, he immediately took a sitting position and observed around.
”What happened here?” asked Shin Yixuan who looked surprised as well as confused by what was happening now.
”Uncle Luo had already killed the demon earlier and now, the punishment seemed to be about to be dropped.” Shu Ye explained with an anxious looking expression.
”How about Uncle Luu? She must be okay, right?” asked Shin Yixuan in fear.
”The Wolf Park has helped a lot.” replied Shu Ye while pointing towards a giant wolf who had just brought Luu Houyi's body to them.
As soon as he saw it, Shin Yixuan looked surprised as well as relieved to see Luu Houyi who looked fine. If it wasn't for Guanyun coming to help him, there might not have been any survivors here.
”Have killed many humans and now you kill your own comrades?! How despicable!” said the voice of a man whose origin was unknown to them.
”Don't you realize that you've already endured so much hate?! Why do you have to make such a big mess while your Son and your wife are fine until now?!”
”Dirty creatures! You deserve to be cursed!”
”Just wait for the punishment from us!”
Hearing the boisterous sounds of the sky whispering and denouncing each other, making Shin Yixuan's attention not stop staring at Luo Hein who was still standing in the same place with blood battering her legs. He knew that it was not his blood and that it was in accordance with what Shu Ye had explained to him.
”Dad! Get away from there!” shouted Shin Yixuan who was trying to run towards him. However, Guanyun continued to hold him back using his large, long tail. He seemed to want to tell her not to approach him at this moment. ”... Uncle Wolf! Dad is in danger! He should get out of there soon!”
Despite that, Guanyun kept banning him and continued pushing him backwards. He didn't let her go because, if she was nearby, she could have been hit by an attack that might have killed her.
”Please if you want to punish me! You guys think, I won't reply to her someday?!” yelled Luo Hein furiously as he spread out his two hands.
The seven Gods who were now standing on the clouds, looked at him with a trivial and insulting gaze. Each of them held a different weapon and even one of them used a huge hammer to destroy. They never showed up and this was the first time they came out of the palace and immediately judged the only culprit here.
These seven Gods formed a circular formation and drew out their weapons. Just then, a purple light appeared with lightning creeping down on each side. His voice was so deafening to those who were there. Shu Ye and Shin Yixuan even had to close their ears.
”Seventh king! Your pride will end here! Accept the punishment you must get!” shouted one of the Gods who immediately launched his attack without any resistance.
”Stop!” shouted Shin Yixuan who tried to stop him but, it was already really too late! The light instantly struck Luo Hein who had no resistance at all.
