The Demon King's heir
CHAPTRE. 38 - TESTING

Shin Yixuan, who had the blood of her mother, started to move all the magical beasts around her. Not only did snakes emerge from the darkness, but other magical beasts also appeared in the fight. As a result, the ground they were stepping on emitted quite a loud bang and even the air of its power was capable of splitting the black clouds that were rolling in the sky.

These magical beasts were fighting Zhuyue, a fox that had peacock feathers on the back of its neck. While Shin Yixuan herself was busy fighting Bai Yunqing with her sword that was like dancing in the air.

Bai Yunqing dodged with her covered umbrella. He deliberately did not fight and decided to observe it for a while. ”... His sword movements were very easy to read. However, his ability in controlling magical beasts could exceed his mother.” Inner Bai Yunqing noticed him.

As Bai Yunqing landed on top of a fairly high pile of rocks, Shin Yixuan gave her some time to rest for a while. However, shortly after, Shin Yixuan stomped her palms on the ground, revealing hundreds of white threads that were very difficult to see but, if it hit her just a little, it would be very difficult to see, the body part of that person was instantly cut off!

Bai Yunqing who saw him was shocked as if in disbelief. ”... He also decreased the Bai Family's ability? Hmh! How much skill can he do?” his inner. Fortunately, both of Bai Yunqing's eyes were able to see those hard-to-see white threads. And if only he had not come from the Bai family, it was possible that his body had been cut into pieces.

Bai Yunqing dodged all the attacks that Shin Yixuan had made on her. The threads had already split the pile of rocks stepped on by him and dozens of trees that were still able to stand. Actually, he still wanted to continue this fight. But, this fight would continue until there was one of them dead and just maybe, the Xieyu hill would be destroyed and kill all of them living there.

”Zhuyue also could not last much longer. If he were to die, Lujian would definitely kill me as well. But he still makes me curious. What other moves will be taken out by him after seeing me manage to dodge all of his attacks.” Inner Bai Yunqing while dodging all white thread attacks.

Bai Yunqing landed back on the ground. However, he had unconsciously stepped on a pile of snow that was so cold that this snow should never appear during a fight. ”... The white thread disappeared?! So, he switched his attacks again?” inner Bai Yunqing who tried to move her legs. However, he was shocked to find that both his legs had frozen in the cold snow.

”......”

”Big problem for me.”

A second later, Shin Yixuan finally moved to attack him with her sword raised upwards. With both of Bai Yunqing's legs stuck in the ice, he thought this fight would be over quickly. However, the voice coming from Erhu was so deafening that it made him fall down immediately and stop attacking Bai Yunqing.

He fell to his knees while holding his head that felt like exploding. Once he knew that this voice was coming from Shin Lujian who was nearby, he immediately helped Shin Yixuan to regain her consciousness. He placed his palm on Shin Yixuan's forehead until it gave rise to a golden yellow light that drowned him.

Shortly after, the light disappeared and only left Shin Yixuan leaning on Bai Yunqing's shoulder. Bai Yunqing held her head so that she would not fall to the ground. He channeled his spiritual power so that Shin Yixuan's body could stay afloat after being forced to carry out various dangerous attacks.

He took off his demonic mask and watched it for a while. ”... I've seen it. Thank you for showing it to me and sorry for scaring you.”.

The magic beasts that had previously attacked each other also disappeared and left quite a destructive battle mark. In front of him, there was already Shin Lujian picking him up along with Shu Ye who had just found Shin Furong hiding inside the temple. Previously, Shin Furong had indeed known that the woman was actually Bai Yunqing so he was not so afraid when Bai Yunqing told him to hide.

”Xuan'er? Is she okay? Did you attack him brutally and force his body to carry out any kind of dangerous attack?” asked Shin Lujian after he stood up to see her.

Shin Furong descended from above Shu Ye's shoulders and walked up to Shin Yixuan who was sitting leaning on Bai Yunqing's shoulders. ”... Brother all right?” asked Shin Furong while looking at him.

Bai Yunqing smiled and then touched Shin Furong's head. ”... She's doing just fine. He just fell asleep because he was tired.”

Shu Ye looked around and was surprised to see that the place was more ruined than he expected. The smell of blood due to the fight of the magic beasts felt so stinging whereas under his feet there was already a pile of snow that should not fall in this season.

”You once. Grandma Yunqing! You did all this?” ask Shu Ye.

Bai Yunqing looked at him while smiling happily. ”... I wasn't. Xuan'er did it. Since then, I have only avoided all of his attacks and I did not know that he could blindly like before.” he replied.

Shu Ye was expressionless and said in her mind, ”I think I know why my gut feeling is bad when I am about to meet this granny.”

”So, how? Your business is done here?” ask Shin Lujian.

”Looks like you were right too.” replied Bai Yunqing. ”... He has two good and evil souls. It seemed, anger made the other soul master his mind so that he could act like this. But, fortunately I was able to stop him and lock his other soul. But, if there is someone who deliberately provoked his anger until he caused a problem that exceeds this, the Yixuan we know first will never come back again.” he continued while giving a cold look.

The Demon Realm Palace Hall. Guju was waiting in front of a red curtain attached to a room that looked like a room. He stood up without closing his eyes just to sleep. The room was filled with red and black curtains and a bed was deliberately covered. The window was still closed while the sound of knocking between the bamboo had been heard since earlier.

”Yang Mulia. You've been asleep for five years. What about your current situation?” guju asked after finding out Luo Hein had been sitting on her bed even though her shadow was covered by a red curtain.

Luo Hein replied a moment later, ”It should be better.”

”This servant wishes His Majesty a long life.” said Guju politely. ”... You should change your clothes and wash your body first. Some previous demons had come up with bringing some human hearts to His Majesty.”

Again Luo Hein fell silent as if he was thinking of something. He lowered his feet on the cold floor then walked out from behind the curtain and passed Guju who was still standing in the same place. He whispered, ”In the next few months, I am no longer your King.”
