The Demon King's heir
CHAPTRE. 07 - NOBLEMAN XU

Three days later, Shin Yixuan stared at a corpse in the middle of the city. Back then, he forced Shin Buyen to come with him to go to the city. As a result, because he did not stop whining in front of him, Shin Buyen was forced to take him too even though in fact, he was very anxious if his son was seen by people in the city.

But when he was going to buy meat, he lost it.

Shin Yixuan touched the corpse's head and watched it for a while. What he did was very make the entire population who witnessed it just silent because of astonishment. Some of them had already warned him but, Shin Yixuan kept touching the corpse using her hands.

There was no fear in his mind. All this he did because he was curious about the corpse lying in the middle of the road.

”Without blood and heart. Looks like Dad killed him again. But, what was his mistake? Why would he be killed this way? Isn't death painful even for a moment? Did Dad never think what the pain of death was like?” inner Shin Yixuan thought about it. He then touched the blood on the head of the corpse and tried to taste it.

However, a black shadow immediately shot towards him and held his hand against tasting the already dirty and smelly blood.

”Yixuan! What are you doing here? Don't go near this corpse!” exclaimed Shin Buyen who had been standing next to him with a fairly quick movement.

Shin Yixuan chuckled and said, ”I'm just looking around. This man's body intrigued me. His family was definitely not far here however, they did not want to admit it because he was considered a family burden. Inhaling her scent I knew she was a heavy drunk and she used to visit girls every day. It's only fair that no one wants to transport the body because he's a bad guy.”

A second later, the entire population there looked shocked and unexpected by his speech ability. After all, he was only a five-year-old child. However, his speech was like an adult who was solving his problems.

”You are talking what Yixuan is! Let's go home!” said Shin Buyen while pulling Shin Yixuan away.

Shin Yixuan tried to release her hand as she said, ”But, I want to stay here! There's something I want!” said it.

”Didn't all you want is to play around in this place?” said Shin Buyen.

”Not! Something else!” chirped Shin Yixuan who was trying to take her hand off.

Immediately, dozens of imperial troops appeared in front of them. These forces are reluctant to choose another path and will hit anything that blocks their path. Even a bamboo basket that had accidentally fallen, had been trampled to shapeless shatters. So too with the dead bodies of men in the middle of the road. They were all like human beings without hearts and allowed the corpse to be trampled by them.

”Look! They were the troops of His Majesty Emperor Xu!”

”I hear them like men without hearts controlled by the anger of the Emperor. They even had the heart to trample any object that blocked their way and even the corpse of the man had also become his victim.”

After seeing and hearing the whispers from the villagers talking to each other, Shin Buyen stared back at Shin Yixuan. However, he felt strange with his current grip. He thought, Shin Yixuan is still holding her hand. However, by utilizing the crowd, Shin Yixuan made her own mother hold a wooden branch that had the same size as her wrist.

”Disappeared again. Now where should I look?” muttered Shin Buyen who looked annoyed.

”There are many people and they wear very simple clothes. But, why do some people wear luxurious and elegant clothes?” muttered Shin Yixuan who thought about it.

”Young master, are you lost?” asked a female servant who was standing behind him.

Shin Yixuan immediately looked at him in confusion. He looked around and saw that there were so many people wearing the same clothes as this woman.

”Servant sister in this Palace?” ask Shin Yixuan.

”It's true Young master. Is there something you need right now?” ask waiter.

”Despite living in a magnificent palace, should brother serve anyone who is here?” ask Shin Yixuan.

The servant was shocked after hearing his question. He was silent for a while and both of his hands suddenly trembled as Shin Yixuan was looking at him. ”... Of course Young master. All of that is my job. I live to serve the royal members who are here.” he replied.

Shin Yixuan looked around again. He saw a beautiful woman with clothes and hair decorated with gold and diamonds. Meanwhile, when he was in the village, he did not see anyone wearing such luxurious clothes. Everything looks simple with shabby clothes that have been perforated. Not a few of them had no place to live and decided to stay on the streets. In addition, there are many people who are starving because they do not have money to eat.

”What clothes do they use it? Why is it so shining and looks expensive?” shin Yixuan asked as she pointed towards the woman who turned out to be one of the royal concubines. ”... The gold hanging from their necks and ears could make the people of the city happy. The palace was getting wider but, there were many people who had no place to live. He said this was to guard their territory from the attacks of other kingdoms. But, if there were a lot of miserable residents and did not side with His Majesty the Emperor, wouldn't that be very useless to do? It is not fair if a member of the kingdom can live prosperous while his people live miserable.”

Hearing him made the servant even more frightened. His gaze was shocked and both of his hands shook again. ”... The young master was not worthy to say that in front of the Emperor. Please don't say that again in front of the royal members.” said the maid.

”What did he say? Whose son is this?” ask the royal concubine previously appointed by Shin Yixuan.

The waiter looked extremely frightened and immediately walked back away from him. ”... Please forgive this servant, Your Majesty. Servant found this child here so, I tried to talk to him.” he said with fear.

Shin Yixuan started to stare towards the royal concubine who was looking at her coldly. He knew that this woman was the one he was pointing to. But he still tried not to know her.

”I've never seen you! You must be an intruder right?!” said the concubine. ”What did you say? Only the members of the kingdom live prosperous while the people live miserable? How dare you say this in the palace.”

After saying so, the concubine directly slapped Shin Yixuan in the face making her almost fall backwards. His gaze looked extremely angry and the clinking sound of his golden bracelet was heard in his ears.

”I hope His Majesty the Emperor gives you the death penalty!” he said as he raised his hand back and tried to slap Shin Yixuan in the face. However, a hand movement that was so fast, directly slapped the concubine's face to make her fall to the side.

”You think a lac*r woman like you deserves to touch my Son's face?!” said Shin Buyen who looked very angry while holding Shin Yixuan's hand back. The face of the concubine was bleeding and made all the servants there very surprised when they saw her.
