The Demon King's heir
CHAPTRE. 62 - THE BOY YESTERDAY AFTERNOON

10 Years Later.

”Yang noble. The curse is spreading. Are you sure you're okay?” guju asked after he saw Shin Yixuan's back which was filled with black and red lines. These lines were curses given by Lu Yuan to him after the three-day fight that was done by him alone when Shu Ye's death occurred.

Shin Yixuan smiled thinly while wearing her robe back. ”... I'm doing fine. I'm sure this curse won't hurt if I ignore it.” he replied.

”But, Your Grace. The curse must be removed immediately because otherwise the curse will continue to spread and you will die.” explains Guju.

”There is no way to get rid of it. I think I can only hold it for a very long time.” Shin Yixuan said while wearing her clothes back and wearing her outer robe like she was going to go somewhere.

”Where will His Majesty go?” guju asked who stood up to him as Shin Yixuan was about to leave her room.

Shin Yixuan was silent for a while before she replied, ”Visit their tomb. I haven't gone to see him in a long time and I have to apologize once again.” he replied as he walked away leaving him.

”Be careful, Your Highness.” said Guju politely.

Shin Furong placed some flowers on top of the three tombs that were under the tabebuya tree and lit some incense for them. These three tombs belonged to Rui, Luu Houyi and Shu Ye. Xiu Huan deliberately put the three of them in the same place. However, he still had not found the corpses of Shin Buyen and Luo Hein who had fallen from the top of the cliff. Because of that, Shin Furong put a wooden navel bearing the names of the two of them.

During those ten years, Xiu Huan suspected that Shin Furong could not cultivate and could only master a few basic moves that did not rely on natural energy. Because of that, he felt very confused with her. But, as he really knew about Shin Furong's ability to see the future and had blood and flesh that was very efficacious to treat various diseases, he said, he could only teach him some medical skills even though he did not know whether Shin Furong needed them or not. In fact, the arrow given by Luu Houyi on the day of his death alone was never touched by him in the slightest.

”Please rest in peace. Don't think too much about me here. I'm fine with Uncle Xiu. Sorry if I ever made you angry and I am so sorry for your death.” Shin Furong said softly as he patted his hand slowly.

After praying for them, he walked back to the same house. Growing up with someone who is not his family, it made him worry and fear. But now, he was not a child present ten years ago. The current Shin Furong was a young man who did not let out much of his expression and rarely spoke. His skin was as white as wheat porridge with his black hair that decomposed to below the chest, and there was a small mole under his eyes.

The bamboo house that still stood on the Xieyu hill looked neater compared to ten years ago. There are several types of medicinal plants that grow in the backyard and there is also a koi fish pond that also decorate it.

Perhaps no one had ever guessed that Shin Furong cleaned it every day. He hated it when the house was in a mess even more, as he was checking Xiu Huan's room which looked very messy when he was about to go out for a while.

”Huh? Traveling for a long time?” Shin Furong looked puzzled after he heard Xiu Huan was about to leave him and ventured throughout the region.

”Yes! That's absolutely right! I'll leave without taking anyone. I've been here long enough and I see, you can take care of yourself.” explains Xiu Huan who has been standing on the front porch carrying some stuff behind his back.

”Do you have to be this fast? You don't want to stay here any longer?” asked Shin Furong who was expressionless.

”Can I not come with you?” ask Shin Furong.

”I told you I'd go alone. It's obvious, isn't it? You can't come with me!” he replied with a slight annoyance that made Shin Furong speechless and said nothing to him.

On the other hand, Shin Furong tried to say something important. But he doesn't know when he can say it.

”You can say it now before I actually leave.” said Xiu Huan who had turned his back and was leaving from there.

Shin Furong was stunned. For a while he was speechless with the same expression before finally, he showed a faint smile that he rarely even showed. ”... Thank you, because it has helped a lot.” he said politely.

Xiu Huan expression in confusion and asked back to her, ”Only that's it?” his successful tan left Shin Furong stunned and speechless for a while. Then, shortly after, Xiu Huan laughed and continued, ”It's okay. I was just kidding. I'm going to leave now. By the way, regarding your question ten years ago, your red eyes are as special as twilight. I never thought of you as a murderous demon. Oh, yep! Soon there will be guests visiting. I hope you didn't kill him.”

”What kind of guest?”

Not yet had he received an answer, Xiu Huan had already left earlier than him. Shin Furong was getting confused and curious about all the words he said earlier. Not wanting her curiosity to last longer, she walked into her now deserted home again because no one lived there but her.

While inside, his attention was fixed on Shin Yixuan's room that had been empty for many years. This was also the only room he had never visited even he never wanted to clean.

He was angry because of Shin Yixuan who had made him suffer all this time.

However, because of something, he felt he had to open it right now.

A second later, Shin Furong finally opened it slowly. Thick dust started flying around him. Everything looked as if it had been untouched for years. The room also looks very messy with bamboo curtains that begin to be brittle eaten by insects.

He went deeper and stopped in front of his bed. He stopped because he felt very surprised after seeing the figure of the white-haired young man sleeping on it.

Shin Furong looked alert and instantly pulled out his dagger. He ventured to approach the figure of the young man to turn his body.

”Hah?!”

Shin Furong felt struck by lightning as soon as he saw the face of this young man. Although his hair was white and his skin looked extremely pale, Shin Furong instantly knew that this young man was Shin Yixuan!
