The Demon King's heir
[S2] CHAPPIE. 73 - ILLUSION OF DREAMS

”How long have you been holding it?” huang Luo asked as she was checking on Shin Yixuan who was in her room.

A curse was clearly visible on his back at this moment. Just like the events of 700 years ago, when for the first time, Shin Yixuan fought with Lu Yuan in Lanyan village. However, this curse was getting stronger and harder to remove even though Huang Luo used all of her blood to remove it.

”It was ten years ago but, can't be eliminated either huh? I think Lu Yuan really grudges me after I eliminate his right hand.” replied Shin Yixuan as she curled up on both knees.

Huang Luo was expressionless as she replied, ”Sorry. I should have been there to avoid it. If this curse is quickly healed with my blood, it might not spread until it is this severe.”

”Not your fault. I was just careless for letting Weixian play alone in the forest. If I knew from the beginning that Lu Yuan was there, I might be able to take better care of him.” he replied in a soft voice. ”... When I saw him, I always thought of Furong. Although I can't remember her face, at least I remember her name.”

Huang Luo looked sad upon hearing that. He looked down while thinking something. He may be tired of continuing to play as someone else. It had been going on for hundreds of years but, it was very difficult for him to say something that had already become reality.

”But, all of it is not a big problem.” continued Shin Yixuan who managed to make Huang Luo a little surprised. ”... Being with you here, made me feel a sense of warmth while we were still gathered at the dinner table and talking to each other for a long time. There is a strict Father and a gentle Mother. There is also a brother who is always supportive and a sister who always asks for more attention. Sometimes I want it all back.”

Huang Luo fell silent by hiding her expression. He then reworned Shin Yixuan's clothes and said, ”You are not a God who can do everything easily. Therefore, everything that is happening before you right now, you should be able to accept it well. All that destiny.”

Shin Yixuan lowered her head while wearing her clothing belt back. ”... Yeah, you might be right. There's nothing I can do now. Thank you, for hearing my story.” said Shin Yixuan while looking at him with a happy expression.

Huang Luo was silent. He did not look at Shin Yixuan and his attention continued to be diverted in another direction. Despite that, Shin Yixuan was able to understand that right now, Huang Luo was thinking of something. Therefore, he immediately asked, ”... What was? Something stuck in your mind?”

Huang Luo replied a moment later, ”... If, Furong is still alive today, are you able to recognize his face as well as his strength?”

Shin Yixuan was stunned. He felt awkward because he did not know what to answer to her. ”... Up until now, my memories were still chaotic and left only their names alone. But I still wish I could remember their faces. Especially Furong and Shu Ye.” he replied with a faint smile.

Huang Luo looked disappointed. He lowered his head and then stood up from the top of his bed. ”Already night. Rest.” he said as he walked away from the room whereas, Shin Yixuan only fell silent looking at him in a daze after seeing his attitude today.

As Huang Luo had walked out of the room, her face looked sad and disappointed. His attention continued to stare down and his hands clenched so tightly. If only Shin Yixuan had known that she was his sister and if it had never happened, would she still be able to gain her happiness again?

He had already witnessed so many deaths but, just this one made him feel extremely regretful.

Uh?

Huang Luo started to look forward and looked towards the stone statue that was there. To be precise, he was currently watching Yun Weixian who was sleeping underneath. Either because he slept while walking or deliberately went there. Huang Luo directly walked up to him.

”This statue? A gift from the sculptor's uncle. It turned out that it was still here.” muttered Huang Luo who was staring at the statue-faced Luo Hein and after that, she just stared towards Yun Weixian who was asleep there. ”... Why is he sleeping here? Is he tired of sleeping in his room?”

Huang Luo patted Yun Weixian on the shoulder and tried to wake her up. But, repeatedly he tried, still Yun Weixian was sound asleep and could not be awakened. ”... What is he dreaming about? Repot once if I have to take him to the inner room.” Huang Luo who started thinking of leaving him just like that here. However, if Yun Weixian had a fever after sleeping outside, she might as well be the one to bother.

”Shin Furong!”

Huang Luo looked extremely shocked as soon as she heard this voice echo in her ears. He tried to look back, but he could not find anyone there. No one should know who Shin Furong really is and some even thought that Shin Furong was dead since childhood. Who called him by his real name?

”Illusion? Dad?”

Yun Weixian woke up in a white room with water pooling there. He woke up suddenly and was already staring at the hundreds of shady tree trunks growing on it. ”... Heh? Whatisthis? Everything white?” yun Weixian muttered in confusion.

”Oh? You're awake apparently?” said the man who was now standing on his head while looking down so that, the faces of the two looked at each other.

Yun Weixian looked puzzled after seeing this black-haired man. He blinked a few times, closing his eyes for a while to make sure that all this was just a dream. But, after closing his eyes, he still saw the figure of the man standing there.

”Wake! This is not an illusion! I called you here!” said the man who directly kicked Yun Weixian's head to make a loud bang.

”Akh! What wrong?! Do you have to kick my head like that?! It's still a good thing I was born with a head!” yun Weixian yelled out who instantly got up while holding her head.

”Hei! You're good too. Where are you from?” ask the man while folding his hands.

Yun Weixian looked at him in surprise and immediately asked, ”I should have asked you that! Where did you come from and why am I here? Are you kidnapping me or what?”

The man looked at her in wonder. ”Indeed, who would want to kidnap a useless person like you? The family has no property. Only a fool would do it!” he said while looking at her with judgment.

”Hah? What the hell!” inner Yun Weixian who was starting to get upset.

The man said again, ”Alright. My time is not so long. I just wanted to say a few words to you. I don't need to introduce myself because the time is so not much.”

”What do you mean, the time is very short? Where exactly is this?” yun Weixian's chirp that directly interrupted the man's conversation earlier.

Eh?

Yun Weixian's vision began to look blurry like one who was about to lose her consciousness. Shortly after, his vision began to darken for a while. Then, he heard a voice calling out to him repeatedly. Yun Weixian immediately opened her eyes slowly and looked towards Huang Luo who was sitting on her bed together with herself!

”Who have you just met?” asked Huang Luo.
