Demon King's Repayment - chapter 16

The forest was full of towering ancient trees, lingering vines, moss covered the ground and the scorching sun didn’t penetrate in. It was a chaotic and dim world.

Yuan Xiang wore a short brown suit that made it easy for her to move, held a bamboo stick, stepped on thick dead leaves and pulled away the long grass and dead vines, exploring all the way forward.

The demonic shadow Qi, which was very rare in the town, was everywhere in that place. Between the branches and leaves, in the shade of the stone moss, rows of small heads popped up from time to time. They looked curiously at Yuan Xiang, a strange being who broke into the forest.

Yuan Xiang was squatting, using a piece of cake to lure a small rabbit who was hiding behind the big tree not far away.

The little fairy sprite was only one foot tall, with a pair of soft bunny ears hanging behind his head stretched out and two small hands from the snow-white sleeves, timidly trying to take the cake in Yuan Xiang’s hand, but was a little scared.

“Don’t be afraid. I’ll give it to you.” Yuan Xiang carefully handed the cake forward, “Hey, would you like to be my apostle?”

The rabbit spirit heard her talking, bluffed, then jumped back into the grass with a squeak and disappeared.

“Even the rabbit spirit failed,” Yuan Xiang sighed in frustration, sat down on a thick tree root, looked at the fragrant cake in her hand and ate it by herself.

Sure enough, should she bring carrots?

She rummaged through her belongings. In fact, there were many treasures in the storeroom at home, such as the three-clear bell, the jade imperial seal, the canopy ruler and the bagua mirror, all set up covered in dust. But besides the Emperor bell for dispersal and a seven-star dagger for body protection, Yuan Xiang mainly carried the talismans she made over the years.

Shifu Yu Yao used spells and tactics, whether he was suppressing demons or exorcising them, he didn’t like to rely on things. Yuan Xiang learned from him and also prefered to study spells.

She was no longer the little girl she was seven years ago and carrying out some charm was no longer a problem. If she used the five thunder talisman, the delicate rabbit spirit would be burnt. The timid appearance of the little rabbit made her reluctant. Such an apostle placed in the yard, besides being cute, would probably be useless.

A yellow-haired monkey swept past her eyes, snatched away the basket beside Yuan Xiang, rushed to the high tree branches and waved triumphantly while laughing at Yuan Xiang.

“Hey hey, I haven’t seen a human being in many years, let me see what you brought to honor your grandfather, me.”

Yuan Xiang was furious and yelled, “Come down!”

The yellow-haired monkey didn’t prevent her from using her hand. For a while, his body was held up by a certain powerful force and he could no longer stand on the treetops. Oh, it fell from the branches of the tree.

Yuan Xiang’s left hand caught the back basket that had fallen from the air and her right hand made finger gestures to trap the falling monkey demon. In her backhand, she used a yellow thunder talisman. Suddenly thunder came from the sky.

“Forgive me, Great Immortal forgive me. Don’t hit me, don’t,” the yellow monkey was very alert. As the situation went wrong, he quickly raised his hand and put his head on the ground to beg for mercy. 

“You… would you like to be my apostle? If you want to, I will spare your life.” Yuan Xiang asked him.

“Yes, yes, I will follow Great Immortal, is there anything you want? I am definitely willing.”

The monkey’s face when speaking was the same as that of human beings. While inexplicably flattering, it looked very funny.

Yuan Xiang put away the thunder talisman in the air. She didn’t think that the monkey demon was as incompetent as he looked. As soon as she turned over, he broke free from the shackles, jumped into the jungle and fled.

He turned back and grinned at Yuan Xiang, showing a fierce look.

Yuan was angry and chased after it, “You! You want to get beaten to death first and then you will become an apostle. It seems that the seniors are not wrong at all.”

But after all, the forest was the world of monkeys. Yuan Xiang chased the yellow monkey but had to stop and rest.

The rabbit was too timid and the monkey was too cunning. What kind of sprite was suitable to catch?

Yuan Xiang also knew the reason for her failure. She still lacked actual combat experience and her heart wasn’t decisive enough, so she couldn’t bear to use the killer move.

The next one she sees, no matter what race it was, she would seriously injure it first then capture it and return home. She made a decision in her heart.

Deep in the dark dense forest, there was a faint sound. Yuan Xiang, who was very sensitive to  Qi, noticed the movement and quietly walked over the branches of the bushes.

In the huge banyan tree with twisted and knotted roots there was a ball of silver-gray around the thick roots.

She walked there cautiously, a few fireflies flew in the grass, but the messy hair ball lying in the long grass remained motionless.

Yuan Xiang gently turned him over with a branch and found that it was a young wolf who hadn’t yet grown up. He was badly injured, his hind leg was bitten off and his abdomen was opened. The blood on his body almost covered his hair making it red. In the jungle, in the battle between wild beasts, they usually bite the neck of the enemy. Yuan Xiang looked at the large and small wounds and couldn’t figure out what caused such a cub to encounter such a group of attacks and torture.

It was a pity that although it fled, it may not survive in the end. Yuan Xiang moved the white forelegs of the young wolf with a branch. The forelegs turned over weakly. The blood-stained little hairy paw shook slightly under the flick of the branch.

It was alive.
