Demon King's Repayment - chapter 14

Zhou Sheng said, “The lady is the same as before. I never thought that you would remember me. Fortunately, Sir saved my life. I have always remembered your kindness in my heart all these years and didn’t dare forget it. I found the benefactor’s address by all possible ways and specially came to pay a visit.”

Yun Niang let people into the yard instead of entering the house and only took a seat on the stone table under the tree.

Zhou Sheng was very cautious in front of her. He regarded himself as a junior and didn’t dare to sit down, just stood by. When the two chatted about the past, Yuan Xiang was listening. She knew that this man named Zhou Sheng had a serious illness when he was young. His parents sought famous doctors and the medicine was ineffective and they were almost ready to prepare his funeral. He was saved thanks to Shifu and his wife who passed through there while traveling around.

So fifteen years later, the 10-year-old child at that time had already married. The Zhou family used to be an official and were well off. The days went very smoothly. It was a pity that a few months ago, his wife Lin suddenly became hysterical saying vulgar words and deeds, rants, claiming that she wasn’t a woman, but instead of letting Zhou Sheng get closer, she punched him out of the bedroom.

Over the past few months, the Zhou family begged the Gods and the family was so turbulent. Not only did they not see any effect, but it made Lin even more irritable. Now that he had no choice, Zhou Sheng could only tie his wife to the house with iron ropes and dared not enter the room when he was free, life was really miserable.

“This is really… sad. It’s a pity that I don’t know anything about this and I can’t help you.” Yun Niang comforted him, “This world is so big, there are many capable people and there are many people far better than my husband. No matter how much you search, there must be a solution.”

Yuan Xiang said from the side, “You can ask her for her name and where she lives, if it’s right, you can let her leave. Why tie her at home?”

Zhou Sheng sighed, “I also asked her, but she refused. She was ashamed to see her relatives and friends. What’s more, Zhuo Jing is a lady who I married. How can I easily let her go?”

He quietly looked at Yuan Xiang and saw the girl with a crescent moon on her temples, her eyebrows divided into a crescent moon. She had an unusual aura so she may not be an ordinary person. He heard that she was the only disciple, but unfortunately she was a young female disciple. If it was a man, he could be invited. Even if the person wasn’t like Shifu, he may have had some hope.

Zhou Sheng left in disappointment, leaving an ordinary-looking red lacquered wooden box as a thank you.

Yuan Xiang pushed aside the box, only to see a few small grids in it, neatly arranged a number of gold bars, silver ingots, pearls and jade jewelry.

Yun Niang glanced, but she didn’t take it seriously. She happily went to build a new chicken coop for the chickens she brought. It was like a box of gold and silver jewelry wasn’t as important as the two fluffy yellow chickens in her hand. She only asked Yuan Xiang to keep it in the warehouse.

There was a small room at home that served as a storeroom. It was filled with boxes of all sizes. They were all gifts from people who had come to get Shifu’s help. Yu Yao had piled them together randomly without sorting them out, resulting in a mess inside.

Yuan Xiang kept the small box in, looked at the thin copper lock that wasn’t very useful on the warehouse door with a little worry.

When Shifu was there, the house looked unremarkable, but there were all kinds of demons, big and small and they felt safe.

Now that Shifu wasn’t at home, there were all kinds of treasures at home and two or three thieves would come sometimes. Losing money was a trivial matter. If Shiniang was scared and injured, then she couldn’t make it through.

Yuan Xiang stroked her chin, wondering if she should also try to contact a few apostles since she had been practicing Taoism for many years. It didn’t have to be Shi Shiran or a big demon like Xiqu. As long as she got an ordinary little demon with a little magic power who could take care of her home when she was out that would be great.

After Shifu left, Shiniang wasn’t as melancholy and depressed as Yuan Xiang thought. She swept away the calmness of the past. Instead, she lived a very down-to-earth life. She went to the market to buy vegetables, boiled water and cooked food and seemed to be concerned about life. She enjoyed every little thing.

Since getting better, she had given Yuan Xiang half an hour every day classes within her abilities since she got better. The content of the course gradually involved all aspects of paintings, rhythm, flower art, tea ceremony, etc. from the initial literacy.

In the early years, Yuan Xiang often took Yun Niang’s hand and asked her where Shifu went and when he would be back.

She always kneeled down and touched her head, “I don’t know where he went or when he will come back, but I believe he will come back one day. All we could do is to live our lives happily every day. When your Shifu comes back, he will feel happy seeing it.”

So Yuan Xiang began to practice the techniques her Shifu taught her, helped her with some household chores and waited for him to come back together. She had secretly thought in her heart that if Shifu had encountered something difficult then, she should be able to help.
