Demon King's Repayment - chapter 15
Compared with Shifu, Yu Niang was just an ordinary person. She could neither see the concealed demons, nor could she practice strange arts. But having been with her for so many years, in Yuan Xiang’s heart, she respected and admired her.
Unlike the women living in the neighbourhood, in the society where the cultural reformation rate wasn’t high, although Shiniang was a woman, she wasn’t only well-versed in history and poetry, but also proficient in various arts. Inadvertently exuding her temperament, Yuan Xiang often thought that she must be a lady of a famous family. Maybe she had a dream of traveling the world with Shifu and then lived in this small town in secrecy.
She just locked the door of the warehouse but heard the faint sound of inquiries from the courtyard door outside.
“Is Sir at home?”
Shiniang went to open the door.
It had been many years since Shifu left home and people from the nearby villages had long stopped coming to the house. The people who came occasionally were from a far away country and didn’t know the situation.
Why were so many people here at once?
It was strange. She patted the dust on her clothes, walked out unhurriedly and stretched her head to look in the direction of the courtyard door.
When she looked, her heart tightened and the cold hair stood on her back.
There was a woman standing outside the open courtyard. A beautiful woman in makeup, with gold flowers on her hair and a jade ring ribbon around her waist. She had exquisite dressing. But such a beauty stood brightly outside the gate. Yun Niang, who was poking her head out and looking around didn’t see her.
“Strange, I heard someone knock on the door,” Yun Niang said suspiciously.
The woman narrowed her pair of phoenix eyes, tilted her head close to the dazed Yun Niang.
Yuan Xiang ran across the yard, took Yun Niang’s arm, pushed her behind her and slammed the door.
“What’s wrong Xiang?” Yun Niang asked strangely, “I heard a knock on the door just now. The strange thing is that there was no one.”
Yuan Xiang stared at the closed door while quietly clamping a yellow talisman between her fingers.
The woman outside the door was still asking, “Is Sir at home? Is Sir at home?”
After a while, seeing that no one opened the door anymore, the sound finally disappeared slowly.
Yuan Xiang covered her beating heart and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she didn’t dare to come in.
Although Shifu had been away for many years, the yard still retained his aura so most of the demons never came close to the yard.
But maybe because Shifu had been away for a long time, the aura had faded. The demons dared to knock directly at the door.
She should find herself an apostle, Yuan Xiang thought in her heart.
Since she decided to have an apostle, Yuan Xiang began to make meticulous preparations.
She had indeed practiced a lot of techniques over the years, but her real fighting skills of the exorcising demons were still very lacking.
As there was a Shifu who had been there for many years in the past few years, there had been almost no evil spirits that harmed humans in Queqiu Town. The three or two little demons that occasionally appeared weren’t Yuan Xiang’s opponents at all. They either became her playing partners, or became the objects of her bullying.
Yuan Xiang read many classics and knew that it was a risky thing to sign a master-slave contract with a demon.
For example, it was mentioned in the “Deep Mysterious Essentials” in her hand that when the bond was made, the demons were likely to resist strongly and require the spellcaster to be overwhelmed by mana. If the spellcaster’s skill wasn’t enough to make the demon willing to succumb, then it was possible that a backlash would occur at a critical moment, leading to slightest injury, or death. Therefore, when most of the mage contracted apostles, they would rather severely wound the demon first and then use the array to imprison them, in order for their safety to be foolproof.
Did she also have to fight them till they got half-dead first? Yuan Xiang closed the scroll and sighed.
When Shifu was at home, he got along very well with the apostles, big and small, such as Shi Shiran, Xiqu, etc. He never used a spell to force a demon.
Maybe Shifu was different from others.
In Shifu’s study room, although the essentials of the classics and the secrets of magic techniques of the world’s major metaphysical books were collected, he didn’t leave a single word of his own. Yuan Xiang still knew her Shifu very well. Although Yu Yao was very determined, he still had the same literacy level as hers when she was seven or eight years old. He could pretty well read those obscure texts but was too reluctant to write a book.
Yuan Xiang put the little things one by one in the hanger and back basket.
Emperor bell, arrays, talismans, short knife, emergency medicine, kettle, pastry, snacks…
Ah there were a lot of unnecessary things.
She had lived in Queqiu Town at the foot of Celestial Wolf mountain since she was seven years old. She had been very familiar with the surrounding hills and valleys since she was a child, but not to mention them, even the hunters in the town only entered forest within a few miles.
The entire Celestial Wolf mountain Range, one hundred thousand mountains, was vast and boundless and the depth of the dense forest was inaccessible. It was rumored to be the territory of demons and no longer belonged to the world.
Yuan Xiang was a little nervous to enter the depths of the mountains and forests alone.
But after so many years of practice, she had to try it. She wouldn’t go too deep but just catch some little demons made like cats and wild dogs to look after her home.
