The Demon King's heir
CHAPTRE. 29 - DREAM

”Your Majesty, why don't you take over his body now? Your situation is getting worse.” said Guju as he leaned Luo Hein's body on an old house at the foot of the hill.

Right now, Luo Hein could not hide his circumstances. The burn did not close because the regeneration ability could not work properly. His entire internal organs were like being squeezed while his blood was like boiling. His eyes were increasingly cloudy and unusual. After he drank Shin Yixuan's blood, it only got worse! The wounds on his body were widening as if they were hinting to no longer drink blood or eat the human heart if you want your body to remain intact.

”Cannot. I can't take her body now.” Luo Hein replied in a soft voice. ”... I know he's scared and hates me so much right now. I made the mistake of saying I wanted to take his beloved sister. But he was hooked and insisted on replacing him. Even so, this body would not be able to last for long. In a few years, it's possible that my body has been destroyed and the war between the demon realm and the human realm is back.”

Guju fell silent and continued to pay attention to him. In order to avoid a prolonged war, Luo Hein deliberately cast an extremely powerful barrier spell so that the demons could not attack the human realm blindly. The spell had obviously consumed almost all of its power and lately, it had begun to weaken to the point of allowing some demons like Lu Yuan to escape its place. Not to mention the spell cast by him on the Xieyu hill. The spell was also weakened and as proof, Guanyun was able to go in and out of Xieyu hill when he was one of the ones not allowed.

”Sleep for the next few years. I will take care of His Majesty.” Guju said as she laid Luo Hein on the floor made of fine wood that had been weathered. He made his own thighs a cushion for him so that he could sleep comfortably.

Meanwhile, it was different from the events that occurred in the demon realm. Right now, Guxun was standing on the side of a pond that was quite spacious as if he was waiting for something to emerge from the surface. Then, shortly after appeared the figure of a bare-chested man who came out of the pool.

Long black hair and dazzling red eyes, all the Kings who were there knew very well that Lu Yuan had a very special ability that was, it can awaken itself from death in a very short time.

”Welcome back, Your Highness.” welcome Guxun while bowing in front of her.

Lu Yuan did not move one bit. He looked at his own palm and tried to decipher his current state. Shortly after, he found out that he had just faced a very short death after Luo Hein stabbed him with a sword. He even remembered how his pain was even though in his final moments, he took the time to laugh at Luo Hein who was about to be sentenced.

”What about the current state of affairs?” lu Yuan asked as he looked towards Guxun who immediately stood up straight and explained.

”The seventh king has already got his punishment. Until now, he still maintains his body and has not replaced it with a new one. He will take over the body of his first son if his death can already be determined.”

”So, yes?” muttered Lu Yuan who immediately smiled a grin and walked towards the outskirts of the pond. ”... So stupid! He thought the survival abilities of humans and demons were the same? Was it because he was a Devil while his wife was a human child, he dared to conduct an experiment that would underestimate the other King?!”

Lu Yuan laughed loosely and sat down on the edge of the pond. ”I'm still pissed at him and will never be satisfied! The position of the seventh King must be removed immediately! I want war to happen again.”

Luu Houyi slowly opened his eyes as soon as he heard Rui's faint voice sounding in his ears. The silence happened once this voice disappeared. Everything looked dark and he could see a lighted candle not far in front of him. He felt confused and did not know what else to do now. He just had to get out of bed and leave this place. However, he found it difficult to regain consciousness.

”Uncle Luu!”

Luu Houyi instantly woke up and opened his eyes abruptly. The feeling of surprise came because again he heard a voice that was calling to him. Quickly, his attention was immediately drawn to a young man standing next to his head in worry.

”Uncle Luu. Finally my uncle realized. I feel anxious because Uncle always mentions Rui in uncle's dreams.” said the young man who turned out to be Shin Yixuan. He continued to wait here even until night had picked him up.

”Why can I be here?” muttered Luu Houyi who looked puzzled. After that, he immediately remembered that he had already strangled Shin Yixuan's neck and nearly killed her. ”... You all right? Did I hurt you yesterday? How are you doing now?” asked Luu Houyi who immediately grabbed Shin Yixuan's hand to surprise her.

Shin Yixuan chuckled and replied, ”I'm fine. Uncle didn't hurt me at all. I told you Uncle just fell off a cliff. But, luckily Uncle Wolf can find you faster.”

”No! Not that! I remember that I almost killed you! You definitely can't forget it, right?” luu Houyi.

Shin Yixuan was stunned and her face was silent for a while. ”Until this moment I'm fine. Maybe my uncle saw it wrong. If that really happened, why would I bring Uncle back home? Moreover, I do not hate Uncle.” at all.

Luu Houyi felt puzzled because that was all he remembered at this moment. His brain was already made to go around in circles even almost a headache. Shin Yixuan then gave Luu Houyi a bowl of meat porridge placed on the table.

”Mom made this for Uncle. He knew that Uncle hated nuts. So, she did not put it in her food.” Shin Yixuan said as she gave it.

After Luu Houyi took the bowl from her, Shin Yixuan continued, ”I will be gone for a while to fetch some water. I hope Uncle spent it.” Shin Yixuan immediately walked out of the room in a hurry after she ended her sentence.

When he reached the door that was already closed by him, Shin Yixuan took the time to lean there. He felt his own neck which had a circular red stripe and also two bite holes. The questions that Luu Houyi always asked always made him remember events that he never wanted to remember again. He closed his eyes and then walked away from the place.
