The Demon King's heir
CHAPTRE. 34 - SCORPION III

Lun's 11-year-old residence has now turned into a pile of crushed stones and fragile wood. Not only the scenery looks uncomfortable, in that place there is also a nest of scorpions that have different sizes and there is even one scorpion that has a height of about 2 meters, similar to other magical animals.

Luu Houyi stood with a sword hanging in his right hand. His feet tread in the midst of the bloodthirsty scorpions. In front of him right now, there was already one of them that had an extremely large size. He did not know where they came from but, for sure, their existence really troubled many people.

”You are a manifestation of the hatred of the people of the Lun family who were killed by the seventh King. No wonder if the poison you use is very dangerous and can even make anyone immediately die. People like you can't be seduced and don't want to say what you want right now. In that case, I also have no other choice but to kill all of you.”

Luu Houyi flinched regardless of the scorpions that would sting his legs. Despite having been there for an hour, he had never gotten any injuries resulting from his own fight. He then opened his sword sheath and sharpened it.

”Despite having to use force, I have to make you die quietly.” he said as he ran towards the scorpions who were waiting for him in front.

HAHHH!

Shin Yixuan instantly woke up after she had a very bad dream. The night had come and the wind was blowing through the cracks of the slightly open window and blowing down the bamboo curtains. He blinked a few times and tried to remember what had happened to him.

Shortly after, he remembered that he had been exposed to scorpion venom in the Lun residence and after that incident, he no longer remembered anything. ”Ahh! Why am I so careless?!” inner Shin Yixuan who looked embarrassed while trying to sit on her bed.

However, as he did so, he felt that there was something strange inside his blanket. He tried to let go and saw Shin Furong hugging his waist as he fell asleep. ”... So she's the one who woke me up all of a sudden?” shin Yixuan looked astonished and after that, she stared at the blood on her white clothes and Shin Furong's right hand.

”What has he done? Did he hurt his own hand?” muttered Shin Yixuan who immediately noticed the knife scratches wound that was on Shin Furong's hand.

Sensing one small gesture made Shin Furong open his eyes slowly and directly look at the face of Shin Yixuan who had already woken up. ”Kakak is healed?” asked Shin Furong who looked pleased after seeing her.

Seeing that he had woken up, Shin Yixuan immediately asked, ”Furong! What happened to your hand? Who did this to you?” ask her with a face that looks anxious.

Shin Furong sat before him and looked at him expressionlessly. He stared at his right hand which was still held by Shin Yixuan, ”... I did it myself.” in short.

”Why do you have to do it? Doesn't this look very painful?” asked Shin Yixuan who did not stop looking at him with the same expression.

Shin Furong shook his head and replied, ”It doesn't hurt too much if I imagine something that hurts me more.”

Shin Yixuan was silent for a while and noticed him. Shortly after, he sighed and touched Shin Furong's head. ”... Next time don't do it again. If something happened to you, not only would I worry but I would feel the same way.” said Shin Yixuan while wiping the blood that was imprinted on Shin Furong's hand and wrapping it with a white cloth stored under his pillow.

Shin Furong was still staring at Shin Yixuan like someone who had paralysis on his face. He was expressionless not even looking happy or sad. All seemed flat like someone who had no feelings.

Shin Furong shook his head and replied, ”Nothing. I'm just confused. What expression should I use when I see that big brother has fully recovered? What vocabulary can I use for brother so as not to be irritable and angry?”

Shin Yixuan was instantly speechless and could not hide her surprised look when she heard Shin Furong say that to her. Then, a few seconds after, Shin Yixuan finally laughed softly while touching Shin Furong's head. ”... You don't have to think too much about it and don't have to be afraid of how it works. I'll be fine.” he replied.

”I think the intruder has entered this residence. Turns out, you're aware huh?” said Shu Ye who immediately opened the door of her room and stood in the same place while folding her hands.

Shin Furong directly pointed at him as soon as he finished looking at him. ”... That person is a person who has made a sister like this and made a sister stung by a scorpion that is very dangerous and deadly.” he said in an accusatory tone.

”Hah?! I don't think I told him this. How could he know? Did he just eavesdrop on my conversation with Madame Shin this afternoon?” inner Shu Ye who looked surprised and did nothing.

”Yes, that's right. He did all this to me. If you feel like throwing something, just do it.” chirped Shin Yixuan in a speech like she was declaring war.

”Hah?! What did you just say? Instead of making your sister a good person, you taught her to take revenge?” said Shu Ye who did not believe. ”... I came here to see how you are! Besides, aren't you grateful to me for bringing you here?”

”Why should you do it? You forced me to come with you and you also lured me to catch up with you. You think I'll just shut up if you leave without saying anything?”

”So you thought it was all my fault?” snapped Shu Ye.

”Why don't you ever admit that you've been the culprit here all along?”

”But why is it all your fault if it's left to me? This is so unfair!"

”.....”

Deep in the forest, there was the sound of someone playing a song using Erhu. The sound was sweet in anyone's ears. However, they would never have expected that the game was aimed at summoning a rare magical beast and only came out at night.

Then, shortly after appeared a four-legged animal, creepy because it has red eyes and exhales that emit smoke because of the temperature of his body is so hot. After the appearance of the figure, the young man who was playing Erhu on the rock immediately stopped and stared at the animal figure earlier.

”You tried to tell me that on Xieyu hill, there are some people who have the same name as me?”
