Demon King's Repayment - chapter 195

Under the starry sky and rain, the raging meteorite fell into the city that never slept for hundreds of years.

All the warriors who could fight hurriedly picked up their weapons tremblingly and rushed toward the wolf. Although they had a half-demon bloodline, they had hardly participated in any real fierce battle in this paradise guarded by the penny tree. When things came to it, they could only blindly swarm up, trying to stop this crazy demon with a crowd of people.

A huge crane shadow appeared across the sky, amidst the landslides, the houses collapsed, and the roads were damaged.

“No, the two HUGE demons are too powerful, we can’t resist!”

“Quickly, pray to the tree God!” Lu Junshou stood in the battlefield, wondering why his town suddenly fell into such a situation. How did the demons who were clearly far away suddenly appear there?

“My lord, the tree God gave no response.” The man who reported the news looked at him desperately, “We have been abandoned by God. The town, our town is going to be destroyed!”

Lu Junshou looked at the collapsed homeland and was at a loss.

They had been guarded by the tree God for generations, and the many white penny trees surrounding the valley had guarded that place with their divine power, driving away all the demons near the valley.

The humans living in it had lived for hundreds of years. They never needed to farm and have never been attacked by demons. So much so that they had forgotten how to grow food with their own hands, and how to battle to protect their homeland.

The huge demon shimmering in silver rushed straight over, bit his body in one bite, and flew into the sky with him in his mouth.

Lu Junshou looked at the smoke at his feet. After being abandoned by the tree God, the bustling city for hundreds of years collapsed overnight.

He closed his eyes before dying.

Maybe they were wrong from the beginning.

The huge crane flew to Yuan Xiang’s side. Yuan Xiang took Shi Fu and jumped onto Dushuo’s back and flew.

After successfully rescuing Shi Fu and taking the opportunity to bully Nan He once, Yuan Xiang felt comfortable. She fished the black array and rode on Dushuo’s back across the scarlet stone wall and flew out of the valley.

The white penny tree on the top of the mountain looked at them silently.

A young figure suddenly appeared in the forest, pursing his lips, and staring at Yuan Xiang who was flying by with his empty eyes.

Dushuo stopped and hovered in the air.

Yuan Xiang looked at the pale boy in front of her. His figure was transparent, his eyes were dull, and the long stalks stood still, as if they were about to collapse in the wind at any time.

“Do you have to leave?” The boy said.

“Sorry. I can’t stay here,” Yuan Xiang said, sympathizing with his experience, dismissing what he did, but lacked the ability to help him.

The boy lowered his eyelashes, “Father once said that I am also a member of the family. He asked me to guard Ah Gen and the children at home. I have been working hard and desperately fulfilling his entrustment.”

“But no matter how hard I tried, why did you leave one by one? You left me alone in this place.” He looked at his almost disappeared legs, “You know, I can’t leave this place anymore.”

Yuan Xiang sighed. From his point of view, she felt that he was very pitiful, “Perhaps, you should take a closer look at your side. In addition to humans, there are many other creatures here. They are your kind and you may also like them. Beside you, they will live by your side truly.”

The young man opened his palm, his palm condensed a dazzling white light, the white light disappeared, and a small crystal-like fruit appeared.

“It has the effect of relieving pain, and curing all kinds of diseases. I want to give it to you. You are the only human I can see, take it as a memorial.” 

The crystal fruit floated from the boy’s hand and fell in front of Yuan Xiang.

“I think I should sleep.” The transparent boy hugged his knees, curled up, and buried his head and neck, “When I wake up thousands of years later, I might be able to treat humans ruthlessly and forget it.”

His body slowly became smaller and turned into a teardrop-like crystal, which disappeared among the white groves.

Those branches that made a pleasant sound fell silent for an instant, and the snow-white color gradually faded, returning to the former green, snow-like hills, gradually re-staining the green.

The little tree spirit who worked hard to absorb Qi for the sake of mankind fell into a long silence.

Wu Yuan, who followed, climbed onto Yuan Xiang’s shoulder, “Go fast, Nan He is going to flood Chishi Town with vinegar.”

Yuan Xiang looked back on Dushuo’s body and glanced behind her, only to see thick smoke billowing everywhere in the canyon.

“Don’t listen to Wu Yuan,” Dushuo’s voice came, “Xiao Nan, because of you, has a bit of affection for all races with human blood. He is just venting and won’t overly hurt people. These humans may be able to truly begin to adapt to life without the protection of the tree God.”

“But the fate of that county governor is sealed.” Wu Yuan spread the gossip impatiently, “Ah Xiang, when Lu Junshou asked you to marry three husbands, Brother Nan was furious. It’s because I held him so hard and didn’t let him go crazy in advance. At that time, the sour smell smoked me and I had to go back and eat three cans of dried fish to hold it down.”

(sour smell/vinegar: jealousy)
