The Demon King's heir
[S2] CHAPPIE. 68 - MEET CRIMINAL II
”This kid just fell asleep? Are we too strong to tie it to the tree?” asked the young man who had previously tied Shin Yixuan to a large tree.
Hearing it instantly made Shin Yixuan wake up. At this moment he looked extremely shocked as he could not move his entire body. He remembered that he had felt very sleepy before when he asked for a deer heart on a group of young men he met. They turned out to be a group of criminals who do dark business by selling humans.
”Young man, you are easily awakened. Want me to tell you a story to sleep well?” said one of the young men while pulling his chin so that, the faces of the two faced each other.
Shin Yixuan gritted her teeth and said coldly, ”Take off your rope!” he said with anger.
One of the big-bodied young men walked up to him and stopped right in front of his face. The young man smiled a smirk at him and said, ”This face has no flaws at all. White and clean like snow in the middle of a mountain. Moreover, his age is still very young.” he said while pulling Shin Yixuan's chin up. ”... I've decided. I'll take him. Of course I will pay it at a very high price.”
”You cheated once! We also want to take him for fun!” the young man behind him.
”Can't! I found him first! She should be mine!”
”No! She's mine!”
As this group of criminals was fighting over him, another blue-clothed young man came from behind a tree. Then, the person immediately said, ”... Xuan-ge! Are you having fun here?” asked the young man who turned out to be Yun Weixian who had come for dinner including the heart of the animal that Shin Yixuan had wanted since morning.
Shin Yixuan smiled and said, ”You don't want to save me here? Right now, I'm really stuck.”
Yun Weixian turned her attention and said, ”I'm being lazy. Besides, I'm looking for dinner for you. If you ask me for help again, I won't have time to do it.”
Shin Yixuan was silent for a while. The young men around them seemed to be watching. However, it seemed like they were also eyeing the fifteen-year-old Yun Weixian for sale.
They finally devised a plan and one of them said, ”Catch that guy too!” then, right after that they all immediately moved quickly towards Yun Weixian who was standing not far in front of them.
With a sharpened sword and a whip that had no spiritual energy, they seemed to be very confident in their strength and were able to capture Yun Weixian easily just as they did Shin Yixuan.
In such moments, Yun Weixian sighed and said, ”Xuan-Ge! You won't get dinner!” he said it ended with a loud shout while hitting the face of the young man in front of him until, making the young man crashed very far.
The sight attracted the attention of Shin Yixuan who immediately cut the rope and went after the young man earlier.
The others looked surprised after seeing the first attack that Yun Weixian had made on the young man earlier. They thought that Yun Weixian was only bluffing so that they could stop attacking her. Therefore, they kept moving forward and continued to attack Yun Weixian with all their might.
”It looks like they are just ordinary people. Why did I kill him? I should have made babu to take care of the house.” Yun Weixian muttered while closing the eyes of one of the dead young men. After which, he stood back up and looked towards Shin Yixuan who should be behind him.
”Lost?!” inner Yun Weixian who looked surprised after she did not see Shin Yixuan who was supposed to be tied up in the tree.
Shortly after he continued to pay attention around, his ears immediately heard the sound of meat chewing coming from not far from where he was standing.
”Ah! That man! Don't-don't, she already ate it!” the inner Yun Weixian who was directly running towards the voice came from.
He continued to follow the direction of the voice. Then, after that he found a blood spot that was on the ground and attached to the branches of trees around it. His steps moved even faster as the pool of blood continued to be visible from his vision. Then, he saw a human hand lying on the ground and there was a bloodline that led him to the terrible sight that was happening in front of him.
Shin Yixuan who was still holding on to her small body, was digging out the heart belonging to the young man she defeated the first time!
”Xuan-Ge! Stop!” yun Weixian shouted as she saw him eating the young man's heart.
He immediately ran up to him and quickly slapped Shin Yixuan's hand to make her release the heart.
”Xuan-Ge! What's wrong with you?! Five years ago you promised you wouldn't eat a human heart. Have you forgotten him?” yun Weixian said as she looked at him seriously while, Shin Yixuan only fell silent with her mouth tightly gritted
Yun Weixian who saw him certainly felt very upset. He instantly pulled up Shin Yixuan's collar and snapped, ”Don't you want to be human? Your purpose in the mortal realm is to do good without killing anyone. Have you forgotten?”
For a moment, Shin Yixuan kept silent. Then, in the end he said, ”This is very unfair. Why am I not allowed to kill people? After all, from the beginning I was different from them. You can kill your brother but, why can't I? Isn't this so unfair?” he said as he looked sadly at Yun Weixian.
Yun Weixian fell silent in confusion. He did not know what to say to Shin Yixuan so that she would not kill more humans. ”... It's because of a promise. When I was ten years old, Xuan-Ge promised not to kill or eat human hearts. Because, Xuan-Ge's goal from the start was to become like a human.”
Instantly, his originally red eyeballs slowly turned back into light blue. His small body directly hugged Yun Weixian's waist and said, ”I can't. After all, from the beginning I was just trying to be good. I can't be like a human.”
Yun Weixian was stunned. He directly touched Shin Yixuan's head and said, ”Xuan-Ge can definitely do it.”
Then, the next day. Shin Yixuan suddenly fell into a fever after she ate a dirty human heart due to frequent drunkenness and eating dangerous foods. It made Shin Yixuan's immunity decrease so Yun Weixian had to call a healer to treat her.
