The Demon King's heir
CHAPTRE. 21 - BABY BOY

5 Years later.

”Wah! Is this a real baby? She looks more like a living doll.” said Shu Ye who seemed to admire the figure of a baby boy who was asleep on his mattress.

”Do not touch it! If your finger doesn't want to crumble!” said Shin Yixuan who came with some clothes that had not been stored in the closet.

”Hah? Whatchu mean? Baby can't possibly crush an adult's hand!” chirped Shu Ye who looked in disbelief. However, moments later, when her index finger tried to touch her delicate face, the baby boy immediately grabbed her finger and gripped it so firmly that it almost crushed her. It was like being bitten by hundreds of red ants so it instantly made Shu Ye take her finger back.

”What kind of baby is she? What would he be if when the baby had dared to crush the hands of people older than him!” muttered Shu Ye who immediately stroked her index finger and looked at the baby boy in surprise.

”Don't bother him! Quickly clean your messy bed!” shin Yixuan exclaimed as she walked up to him.

”No want! Just leave it like that. I'm more comfortable with my messy room!” replied Shu Ye who was still paying attention and playing around with the baby boy.

Moments later, Shin Buyen comes to the room and sees Shu Ye playing with her recently born baby. He had yet to decide what his name was and waited for Luo Hein to pay a visit to his place. But this month, he didn't come here either.

”Shu Ye! Your room looks messy. I think you should clean it up now.” said Shin Buyen as he walked up to her.

Shu Ye directly replied, ”Of course I will!” he said enthusiastically and his steps immediately moved out to his room.

”What does this mean?” inner Shin Yixuan who looked astonished after seeing him like that whereas previously she refused to clean her room.

Shin Buyen walked up to her bed and took her baby boy. He lifted her up and noticed her laughing little face. He kissed her forehead and touched her little hand with his fingers.

”When will Mom name it? He's already stepped on a month. But, Dad did not also visit him to give it a name.”, said Shin Yixuan as she walked up to him. At first glance, he noticed the look on Shin Buyen's sad face that was barely visible at all. He understood that right now, Shin Buyen was feeling very sad because Luo Hein could not watch his second son being born and did not even accompany him at that time. Luckily, ShuYuzhu comes to visit and tries to help her a little. Everything he had encountered was present except, the unknown Luo Hein.

”I think I can only postpone it. I have also not thought about what name fits him.” replied Shin Buyen slowly.

”What if I named it? After all, I've been thinking about it a long time before he was even born.” Shin Yixuan said enthusiastically.

Shin Buyen smiled at him and he asked, ”Is that true? What name do you think fits him?”

Shin Yixuan directly replied, ”... The furong! I'll name it Furong which means happiness. I want my brother to be happy and smile every day. He will probably go through the difficulties and sorrows that will be in his life. All of that is sure to happen. But, with that name, I hope he will soon forget the sadness he had experienced so that he can keep smiling again as usual.” he replied with a happy feeling.

Shin Buyen who heard it was also happy. He touched Shin Yixuan's forehead and said, ”A very good name. From now on, your brother is named Shin Furong. You'll be able to play with him when he's old enough.”

”Not usually, huh? The sky is cloudy like this is not a sign of rain or storm.”, said Luo Hein who is now among the crowd of remote villagers who are so crowded and as usual, behind him was Guju who accompanied him for a walk around here.

”Yes, Your Grace. It seems that one of the Demon Lords has crawled out of his lair along with his personal servant.” Guju replied as he lowered his gaze.

”You are right.” replied Luo Hein. ”... About what trouble will they do for me? Don't tell me that they want to harm me so that it makes my death one step closer.”

”I'm here, Your Grace. I will always protect you.” said Guju in a soft voice.

Luo Hein was silent for a while and had time to observe the events surrounding him. The wind was blowing quite fast and flew several bamboo baskets displayed in each food store. But he seemed to be unconcerned about what happened to them.

”This time will be much more difficult. You too, should be careful what is around you.” Luo Hein said as he walked ahead of him wearing a bamboo hat he found on the street.

”You named him Furong? Does the name not sound strange and too difficult to say?” chirped Shu Ye who looked astonished after hearing the story coming out of Shin Yixuan's mouth as the two were cutting some firewood inside the forest.

”The name is not difficult at all. You're the lazy one to listen to me talk.” said Shin Yixuan while collecting some firewood that had been cut into pieces by her.

”Heh! I am different than I was five years ago! I am ten years old now! And in seven years, I'm gonna grow up and get out of here! I'm sure, slowly I can change my nature which you think is troubling.” said Shu Ye who seemed to not care about it when he did not really mean it.

”Speaking will only drain your energy faster! There is still some wood to cut there!” shin Yixuan said as she pointed towards the large pieces of wood that were near them.

”Speaking won't affect the energy I put out! I speak only to break the silence! After all, I am very uncomfortable if I keep quiet without anyone inviting you to talk.” Shu Ye said while cutting the wood one by one.

”....”

The silence lasted for a few moments when they heard the sound of giant footsteps running towards them in a fairly rapid motion. His voice, was very similar to the dozens of magical beasts that were speeding here with their overflowing anger.

”You all! Get out of there!” shouted a young man who was running towards them.

However, even though this young man was already shouting as loudly as possible, Shu Ye and Shin Yixuan did not also step aside from the place. Then, because the time is very little coupled with the anger of the magic animals are overflowing, this young man was forced to take them away to avoid the attack that these magical beasts would be carrying out!
