The Demon King's heir
CHAPTRE. 57 - A TRAVELER

”Yang noble. You must restore your situation. The demons have returned with some human hearts for you.” said Guju while showing a pile of human hearts that are on a table.

Shin Yixuan was speechless and did not expect that she would have to eat such a disgusting thing. The sweet taste of bread, the savory taste of freshly cooked venison, had all been lost to its senses. He felt like he had killed hundreds of innocent lives and he also felt guilty for troubling his own birthplace.

He felt he did not want to eat it. He is still unfamiliar with his new residence and his white hair that makes him look like a grandfather from behind. ”... I don't want to eat all this.” said Shin Yixuan who immediately refused.

Guju immediately gave a serious expression and said, ”The noble one must eat all of this if you want your consciousness to remain!”

Shin Yixuan directly walked out of her bed and replied, ”I can do anything for myself. I would probably feel really happy if someone came to kill me before I killed another.”

Guju looked at Shin Yixuan who kept walking away from him. His expression seemed worried. Ever since Shin Yixuan lived in the demon realm, she had never eaten a single human heart that the Demon Lords were supposed to eat. ”... His Majesty the former King. I'm afraid I can't take care of her more than this. I hope something bad doesn't happen to him.” Inner Guju who pays attention.

Midnight had arrived and Shin Furong remained waiting at the same place expectantly. He tried to stay awake even though he was feeling very sleepy at the moment and could not hold it any longer.

”When will Mom be back? I'm so hungry. Uncle Luu also did not return since then even though he had promised. I hope nothing happens to them.” murmured Shin Furong while bending his knees and burying his face there.

It was not until one minute that Shin Furong fell asleep that he suddenly heard the sound of a table being bitten repeatedly by sharp fangs. He woke up and tried to look back. The voices are getting louder and more and more in number.

Slowly, he tried to open the front door of his house and peeked a little.

Shin Furong was so shocked when he saw five wolves rattling things in his house and biting everything there. And because of his surprise, he accidentally ran immediately so that he made a sound of footstroke on the wood that was so heard in the ears of the wolves. As a result, his rapid pace, followed by the hungry wolves.

Within the quite dark forest, Shin Furong continued to run aimlessly and aimlessly. He was also afraid of the existence of a trap hole deliberately prepared by the hunters and a ravine that would drop him.

What can a six-year-old do but run to avoid death? Clearly, he was extremely afraid of the death that was chasing him. His steps began to tread on the wet grass and his attention began to stare towards a young man who was standing not far in front of him.

Without a pause to think, Shin Furong immediately hugged the young man's leg and shouted, ”Sister! Help me!” he said with fear and both eyes were immediately closed, hoping that what he saw was not an illusion.

”Young people? How long are you gonna hug my feet like this?” ask youth.

Shin Furong was surprised because this young man's figure was not an illusion. He opened his eyes and slowly looked at the young man who was much taller than him.

His red eyes looked at a black-haired young man who was ponytailed with a bright blue hanfu. The color of his eyes was like the night sky inhabited only by the moon. In his right hand, he held a spear that had been covered with the blood of wolves and in his right was a hoe covered with red earth.

”Kak Shu Ye?” asked Shin Furong who was still very surprised as soon as he saw his completely real figure.

The young man looked confused. He let go of Shin Furong's hand which was still hugging his thigh and then he knelt in front of him to stare at his face clearly. ”... You're trying to equalize my face with someone else?” asked the young man while pointing at his own face. ”... Look at this face! Only I can have it and no one can match it!”

Hearing him speak, made Shin Furong feel sad and again, he cried as soon as he remembered the loneliness experienced by him earlier. That, of course, makes the young man feel panicked because he feels guilty for making a small child cry sobbing.

”H- hey! Why crying? I won't hit you.” said the young man with his tone that sounded awkward and confused.

Even though he had said it, Shin Furong still cried like a newborn baby. He felt happy that he was finally able to meet others even though he was neither Shu Ye nor Luu Houyi.

”Aduh,... Why is her crying getting louder? I'm not talented take care of a small child.” Inner thinking youth then ask, ”... Where's yourhome? I'll take you home. Is your mom home or family?”

Instead of making him stop crying, this young man even made Shin Furong cry even more loudly because until now Shin Buyen had not returned, as well as Luu Houyi. He hopes that one of the two sees him in danger and saves him. But who would have thought he would find someone else here.

”How is this? If his mother saw this, she would have thought I was the one who made her cry and she would have slapped me in the face repeatedly like a cauldron in the kitchen!” the young man began to fear.

The young man tried to smile despite being a little forced. He took Shin Furong's hand and said, ”Come, I'll take you home. I will definitely protect you if something happens.”

Shin Furong finally fell silent even though his face still looked very sad. He looked at the young man and asked, ”This uncle is not Shu Ye's brother and not Luu's uncle?”

The young man immediately replied, ”Of course not! I'm just an ordinary traveler who has nothing and no purpose. My name is Xiu Huan from Nanxin.” region
