The Demon King's heir
CHAPTRE. 43 - WANG YE II

Currently, the two are standing in front of the Lun residence which has been filled with vines on the parts of the building that have been weathered and mossy. Shin Yixuan looked carefully at him and stared at the wooden door that had been shattered by the attack earlier. Now, the front page of the residence looks very clear. Inside it was like an ordinary residence. But, if someone entered it unscrupulously, it was possible that those who were still there would attack.

”Blood too. Their tracks are still left here. I didn't think it was this bad. But, fortunately, no one ever visited here just out of curiosity.” said Wang Ye who noticed the wooden door that had been damaged.

”Don't think too fast. Inside there was a pile of fleshless corpses that were snuffed out by them a few days ago.” chirped Shin Yixuan while pointing towards the corpses of the robbers who died because the vines were absorbing all their energy.

Wang Ye was stunned and silent for a while. He thought about quickly calming these spirits down quickly. However, looking at Shin Yixuan who wanted to save Shu Ye who was trapped inside, made her forced to postpone it for as long as possible.

”Haah, okay. You want to save that boy? How can you do that while they'll make you like that too?” ask Wang Ye.

Shin Yixuan thought for a while and she judged that there was no other way she could use it at the moment other than to fight them all with a sword or bare hands. He could neither cast a demonic barrier spell nor teleport as Luo Hein had always made.

”Of course with fighting.” replied Shin Yixuan while pulling out her sword.

Wang Ye was surprised and immediately asked, ”You can do it? You were hurt before against them all, right? What makes you think that you will win this fight?”

Shin Yixuan insisted on doing so. ”... If it hasn't been tried, we won't know the result, right?” in short.

Wang Ye sighed and watched Shin Yixuan for a while. He then pointed to Shin Yixuan's neck and asked, ”That's, there's something you can use around your neck.”

Shin Yixuan was stunned and instantly took out a purple crystal given by Luo Hein 11 years ago. That crystal could indeed be the most powerful demonic barrier weapon. However, lately the crystal can not work properly and eventually lose its striking light.

”His strength no longer exists. So, it cannot be used.” short Shin Yixuan while showing it.

Wang Ye walked up to him and watched the crystal for a while. He knew very well that this crystal was a broken heart belonging to the seventh Demon King that was destroyed because of his old age coupled with the punishment that had previously befallen him 6 years ago. His heart must have been out of shape and apparently, he was looking for the right replacement.

”You can use it if you drain your spiritual energy. You also have demonic blood flowing in your body right?” ask Wang Ye.

”I tried but, still can't. I thought, I can only keep it here.” replied Shin Yixuan.

Wang Ye only fell silent as soon as he heard the answer he did not want. In his mind, he wondered why would someone who had the blood of a demonic bloodline not be able to fill this crystal fragment using his own spiritual power? He should be able to do things that ordinary humans cannot do by imitating all the moves issued by his opponent. But, it seems that something is wrong here.

Shin Yixuan looked puzzled upon hearing this explanation. He then turned his attention and replied, ”Of course I can't make it. You told me not to say it. Don't you want to accept reality?”

”Then, how can you fight them all? It is impossible to use only a sword. If the plant touches even creeps into your body, you will have wild plants growing out past your flesh and skin.” explains Wang Ye.

Shin Yixuan's attention was diverted to the pile of corpses that were at the very end of the room. His hunch may be right. If it's a little wrong, it could be that he'll end up horrible like that. Plus, he had no idea where Shu Ye was at the moment. So, it was not impossible that he would have to surround this residence to look for her.

With a look that looked seriously down, Shin Yixuan replied, ”I'll give it a try.”

Again silence ensued as Wang Ye took the time to give her a judging look. Some of him hesitated and others felt confident that he could do it easily. In the end, Wang Ye could not stop him. He sighed and said, ”... Alright. Maybe you can do it. But, while inside, you must pull Shu Ye's soul back into her body ”

Shin Yixuan was surprised and immediately asked, ”How can I do it?”

”You've known him for years. He will surely obey your words. You just need to enter his subconscious and search for his whereabouts.” replied Wang Ye.

”What kind of way can I do to enter his subconscious?"

Wang Ye turned his attention and started to take it seriously. ”... You only need to come into contact with Shu Ye's spiritual energy. However, your amount of spiritual energy should be greater than him so that you can dive into his subconscious. You can't get hurt at all. Because if you are injured, the spiritual energy in your body will work harder to cover the wounds in your body so that the spiritual energy you can use is only a little.”

”How can grandma be here? I mean, how am I supposed to be here? Didn't the vines catch me before and take me to their residence to be killed?” shu Ye asked who still looked confused as soon as he was sure, this woman in his subconscious was Yu Yuanyi.

Yu Yuanyi laughed. He touched the face of Shu Ye who was sitting in front of him and said, ”I've protected your body with my strength. As long as you're here, your body will be fine. Before that hatred destroys your body and soul, I pull you out so they can't find you here.”

”Then, what about my memory? Why do they all want to destroy me while I don't know anything.” asked Shu Ye who looked sad.

Yu Yuanyi turned her attention and showed an expression that no one could read. As soon as the wind blew past him, Yu Yuanyi replied, ”... I'm the one who erased all your memories of them when the Demon King attacked. All I do to take care of you and for your own good.”
