The Demon King's heir
[S2] CHAPPIE. 71 - STATUE
”What did Xuan-Ge just say?” yun Weixian asked who looked puzzled because she did not hear what Shin Yixuan said earlier.
Shin Yixuan was silent as if she had forgotten what she said earlier. He glanced at Yun Weixian who was still sitting next to him and asked, ”I heard you just spoke to Huang Luo. How was your first conversation with him?”
Yun Weixian was stunned after hearing Shin Yixuan instead ask her back. He cleared his throat while distracting him, ”Usually. There is nothing special about it all.” he said in a slightly lying tone. ”... He said he was the new owner of the house. But why have I never seen him here? Does he not feel at home staying here because of me?”
”Huang Luo has never been like that.” replied Shin Yixuan. ”... He rarely comes back not because you're here but, he always leaves because he has to do what he's supposed to do. Lately, outbreaks of disease have been occurring in various places since you were two years old. Although Huang Luo offered to be my personal healer, her thoughts of caring for others were never far from her. Since the Xieyu hill was inhabited by many magical beasts, no one dared to come here so he had to leave. I always ask Guju to accompany him and by any chance, today they are back at the right time.”
”Talking about someone named Huang Luo, it seemed like it made her even sadder. Must quickly switch the conversation!” inner Yun Weixian thought about it.
”I told you, don't let your Majesty get out of bed!” snarled Huang Luo who appeared behind Yun Weixian and directly pulled Shin Yixuan's back collar to make her drag.
Yun Weixian looked astonished and immediately shouted, ”Why immediately yell at me? Xuan-Ge himself wants to go here!”
”It's your fault too for letting it go just like that!” reply Huang Luo who immediately looked at him coldly and made him speechless for a moment. ”... Come on, Your Majesty. You should go to bed soon.” continued while walking in by pulling Shin Yixuan in the same position.
”How did he change his nature to such an extent?” inner Yun Weixian who looked astonished.
Yun Weixian looked towards a statue of a god, where Shin Yixuan picked up the glutinous cake earlier. He tried to walk towards her to see the face of the statue that was there.
The statue, made of fine stone, looks like a man holding a sword in his right hand and a peach flower in his left hand. On his head, he wears a crown shaped like the wings of an eagle. Yun Weixian would probably never have known that this statue was the face of the previous seventh King, Luo Hein!
”His face, why look more like Xuan-Ge when viewed from the side?” inner Yun Weixian who noticed. He tried to touch the statue. However, as he began to touch her, he felt that someone was standing behind him.
Yun Weixian immediately turned her head back to look at it. But no one stood there even though he looked around. ”It was so weird. Shouldn't there be someone there? Why don't I see it?” yun Weixian's muttered in puzzlement.
”What are you doing there?” asked the woman who was now walking towards him with the look of her cold eyes.
”Ah! Ju-Jies! You were the one standing behind me?” yun Weixian asked after finding out that the woman behind her was Guju.
Guju looked at him confusedly as if she did not understand what Yun Weixian had said to her. ”... Whatchu mean? I just came here. Why ask like that?” the answer.
Yun Weixian scratched her non-itchy back head. He looked back at the statue next to him and thought, ”How about I touch it again? I still feel curious.”
”You just touched this statue, right?” guju asked while pointing at him.
Yun Weixian was stunned and replied, ”I~ yes. I touched her, and then suddenly I felt someone standing behind me. I myself do not understand whether he was just an illusion or actually happened.”
Guju's expression looked very serious. He stared at the statue and gazed back at Yun Weixian. ”... Why not touch it again to prove it?”
Yun Weixian looked doubtful. He was curious about the person who appeared behind him. On the other hand, he doubted it could happen a second time. ”... Can it still?” inner Yun Weixian.
His hands tried to touch the face of the statue. And when his finger had come into contact with the smooth surface, he felt nothing more. The figure behind him no longer appeared like before. He was confused and then he took it off again.
”It doesn't seem to happen. His figure had already disappeared so quickly.” Yun Weixian replied after checking it out.
”Cannot be! It should be time for the previous King to rise from his death. Why not show up too?” inner Guju who looked at him seriously.
Yun Weixian looked at him confusedly after she saw Guju's serious expression that was like she was confirming something. ”... What's wrong? Is that a big deal for me?” yun Weixian asked awkwardly.
Guju remained silent for a while. A few seconds later, he walked away and said, ”... Nah! It'sit's nothing! You go back to your room. But, if you see someone in your dream, I hope you don't ignore it.”
”....”
Yun Weixian was curious about what Guju had said to her. It was a little strange as if Guju had learned something from him. Of course he knew long ago that Guju was Shin Yixuan's servant for many years and Guju always made him curious about all of her words.
”Is that a bad sign for me?” inner Yun Weixian who was gazing back towards the statue.
”Yun Weixian!”
This voice suddenly rang out in Yun Weixian's ears to the point of inviting her attention. He looked around but, he did not manage to find anything. ”... Illusions again? There were people and now voices! Really weird! Did I catch a fever?” inner Yun Weixian who was directly holding onto her forehead.
