The Demon King's heir
CHAPTRE. 33 - SCORPION II

When Shin Yixuan lost her balance, she fell down by pulling Shu Ye from the top of the house. It was obviously very surprising for him because at that time, the scorpion that attacked them had been on it when it was falling. His eyes widened as soon as he saw it until finally a line of light appeared from somewhere and immediately split the body of the scorpion into two.

Shin Yixuan and Shu Ye finally landed on the ground safely despite the splinters of meat raining down on them. Shu Ye was panting as well as Shin Yixuan who could barely breathe. Luckily he managed to regain his consciousness because if he did not, he might be in danger.

”Hei! That was you nothing?! Fainted without my permission! You didn't know your body was so heavy?” ketus Shu Ye while rearranging her breath.

”What do you think I am? Why ask permission first?! Besides, it wasn't you who beat the scorpion!” shin Yixuan replied loudly then, a second later they only realized what had really happened here earlier. There was no way either of the two had killed the deadly insect.

”You forgot to thank me?” asked Luu Houyi who appeared behind them while patting his palm which he thought was dusty.

”Hah? When did he come and what is he here for?” inner Shu Ye who looked surprised at once fell silent with a feeling of wonder.

Seeing Luu Houyi, Shin Yixuan immediately tried to stand back up and took the time to bow before him, ”... Thank you Uncle Luu for helping us.” he said politely. However, as he did so, both of his legs suddenly fell down as if unable to support his body anymore.

”The poison is definitely back on!” inner Shu Ye who directly helped him.

”What's with him? Did a scorpion just sting him?” asked Luu Houyi who immediately ran up to him in a hurry.

Shin Yixuan replied, ”I'm fine. It's just a small wound.” although his face can't adjust his answer at the moment. His cold sweat started pouring out from above his head. His nose was bleeding and his face was pale. His hand continued to grip the ground very firmly. It was obvious that his body was currently saying a different answer.

”The poison has spread so quickly. He would probably die a second time.” Inner Luu Houyi who looked anxious upon seeing him. He tried to take something that was stored under his cloak. However, he felt surprised because the object he was looking for did not meet. ”... Teleportation paper! Don't tell me the paper was left behind?!” inner Luu Houyi who looked in disbelief.

Without a pause, Shu Ye directly lifted him up onto his back and intended to run all the way home. ”... There was indeed no other choice if the teleportation paper was left at home. I will take him.” said Shu Ye who immediately ran jumping one by one the roof of the building when the streets of Wujie city look very crowded.

Luu Houyi fell silent at his same position and did not move at all staring at the loss of the two of them. A few seconds later, he turned against the direction and then walked slowly closer to him. His eyes looked cold and very angry. Both of his hands clenched tightly even to the point of injuring his palm.

”... I don't want this to happen twice. Looks like it's time to run my main task.”

”Heh! Wake up! I'm tired of waiting for you to stay here.” said a young man sitting on a chair with several chains tying his body until he could not move.

Slowly, Shin Yixuan opened her eyes as the voice rang out in her ears. In addition, the air around him felt very humid and there was no sound other than the boy.

”What's wrong with you? You've been like this many times. You want me to replace you?” said the boy who turned out to be Shin Yixuan's darkest side when she was five years old.

”You again? Didn't I tell you not to see me again?” said Shin Yixuan who had stood in front of him and looked at him seriously.

The boy smiled a grin. He looked towards Shin Yixuan with his overcast eyes and replied, ”I am part of your mind. I can see what you're doing and I know what you're thinking. If you try to kill me, you will also die at this point. Your father knew very well that I was so dangerous to you so he tied me up like this.” he said with a small laugh. ”... Haha! He really loves you but, unfortunately he did not really expect the birth of your sister.”

Shin Yixuan bit her lower lip and said, ”I know what your current goal is. You're trying to take over my body so you can act the way you want?"

The boy turned his attention away as if he didn't care. A few seconds later, he snorted, laughed softly and a few seconds later looked at Shin Yixuan seriously, ”... If I wanted to, I've been doing it for a long time. Your soul is weak. I almost laughed when you tried to help me when you first met me.” The boy laughed and rebelled at the chains that still bound him.

”... By the way, why are you fighting what your own sister said? Didn't he say to not let anyone be behind you? Is the speech of a five-year-old boy very difficult for you to understand?” continued.

Shin Yixuan was speechless with her feelings still shocked. He knew that Shin Furong said that before leaving. However, he ignored her because he still did not believe in Shin Furong's future-viewing ability. However, with the events that had befallen him at this moment, would he be able to believe it from this moment on?

Shin Yixuan closed her eyes for a while and thought about it. However, when he opened his eyes he felt very surprised because in front of his face at this time there was already a male figure that resembled him and showed a sinister face of his.

Instantly his steps moved backwards away from the figure of the boy who had now turned into the same figure of youth as him.

The young man stood up with both hands and feet chained up quite strongly. He no longer sat in his chair and was finally able to move freely even though the chain could still hold his movement slightly.

”You see for yourself? The more days, this chain is getting weaker. And you must know what would happen to you if this chain were to completely break away from me?” ask the young man who whispered it. ”... I will master your mind and you will never be able to return to being the Shin Yixuan you once were. I will definitely make you suffer by killing everyone closest to you.”
