The Demon King's heir
[S2] CHAPPIE. 77 - LIKE THE DEAD

Xiu Huan turned his head towards Huang Luo with his cold-looking gaze. He removed the grip of his hand from Yun Weixian's neck and decided to stand facing Huang Luo who was waiting for him.

”You dare hurt me, Rong'er?” xiu Huan asked with his eyes glaring expressionlessly.

Huang Luo bit her lips with her face that looked annoyed. ”... Don't mention my name again!” in short while taking out a dagger from behind his clothes.

Xiu Huan lowered his gaze. Now, his expression looked sad like one who had just lost something. ”... I, huh? Rong'er doesn't need me anymore. After you forced me to keep looking after you, now you want to just dump me?” xiu Huan said with his sad-sounding tone.

Huang Luo looked wary as she held her dagger quite firmly. This time, his premonition was really bad even though he could not yet foresee what would happen after.

His steps seemed alert and continued to stare at him without ever being sidetracked in the slightest. Xiu Huan started to raise his head and looked at Huang Luo expressionlessly. ”... In that case, I should kill you.” he said as he flicked his finger. Then, hundreds of white threads emerged from within the ground that instantly charged towards Huang Luo simultaneously.

Xiu Huan knew that Huang Luo had not been able to cultivate since childhood. Therefore, he had deliberately carried out a long-range attack so that Huang Luo could not avoid it with his extremely slow movements.

However, a barrier appeared so suddenly that it made the threads unable to touch Huang Luo. Precisely the opposite, the barrier sucked the white threads until it disappeared from the sight of the two of them.

”Ah? This power? Did he also study with a priest?” inner Xiu Huan who looked surprised after his attack was defeated just by using a spell paper.

Huang Luo reappeared after the barrier disappeared. His right hand held a spell paper that had the script of a God that should not be learned by humans. ”... It's appropriate that I thank everyone and you're not the only one who got it. I will not attack and will not kill you but, that does not mean I will let you kill me.” Huang Luo said.

Xiu Huan tilted his head and asked, ”Then, what do you want? Why not attack me or kill me? Is it because you owe me a favor?”

”I see you're just like me. A human child who died then, was revived by relying on a small object that came from a broken demon crystal.” Huang Luo said.

”... A month before Father killed brother, he had already taken your heart first when you intended to pay a visit to the Xieyu hill. You probably wouldn't have guessed, the demon that saved you back then and the demon that taught you some moves so you could protect yourself, turned out to be the one that would kill you in the future. And because of that guilt, Dad put the crystal shards into your body so you can come back to life even without a heart, like most normal humans.”.

Xiu Huan snorted coldly and said, ”... Where'd you know that? Did that ex-human tell you?” ask her with a cynical smile.

”Not.” replied Huang Luo. ”... The female priestess from the Houyuan mountain range who told her. His own son saw what you were going through back then. Five years after you left Xieyu hill, I came to Houyuan mountain range to study and they both told me.”

”Hahaha!” Xiu Huan immediately laughed loosely after he heard all his stories. Then, quickly his expression turned annoyed and his attention was fixed in the opposite direction. ”... Hmh! Irritating! People like them, should have been wiped out long ago.” he said while taking out a spear from his right hand.

”Do not attack him again!” exclaimed Huang Luo who tried to warn him.

Xiu Huan stopped staring at Yun Weixian and turned his head back towards Huang Luo. ”... Then why don't you attack him?” said it.

Huang Luo was speechless not understanding what Xiu Huan had just said. There was no way he would attack Yun Weixian when, he himself had warned her not to attack him.

”You don't understand?” xiu Huan asked who gave a moment's pause. ”... Ah, right too. For those ten years, you must not know what I've done to your body. I didn't think you wouldn't notice it that long.” continued, flicking his finger.

Arghh!

The sound of that shout, suddenly heard from all directions even Yun Weixian also shouted in pain, like something was gnawing at his body. From behind the surrounding bushes and trees, one by one the troops from Qin Palace fell and died with eyes glaring upwards. They all died from the curse that spread in their bodies.

Huang Luo immediately ran over to Yun Weixian as soon as she saw the corpses of the troops hiding, appearing surrounding her.

”What happened here?” Huang Luo looked surprised upon seeing a black mark that almost covered Yun Weixian's entire body and also possessed on every corpse in the surroundings.

”Cih! What did you do to him?!” said Huang Luo who looked very angry at Xiu Huan.

Xiu Huan smiled a grin and looked at Huang Luo cynically. ”... It wasn't me who did it but, you're the one who made them like that. I'm just giving up some of your power. But, I didn't expect it to turn out to be this strong. What do you think the plague that's been going on for years is it because of? Though you've been looking all over the place what is the cause of this disease outbreaks often occur. But, you never found it because of the plague, because of your own existence.”

Huang Luo looked so shocked that she could not even say anything. ”... Impossible!”

”Luo-Ge! Don't hear! This isn't all your fault! He has no evidence to blame you!” yun Weixian said in a soft voice. A few seconds later, he vomited a mouthful of blood after the curse had touched his neck.

Huang Luo was silent for a while. He bit his finger until it bled and put it in Yun Weixian's mouth so that he could drink it. Slowly, the curse that was on his body disappeared and his stingy breath began to sound normal.

”This is the last. Sorry.” Huang Luo said in a soft voice.
