Demon King's Repayment - chapter 232

That journey took a full half a year to come and go.

When they left, it was the early spring when the ice and snow first melted, and when they came back, it was full of vitality.

Having not returned home for half a year, Yuan Xiang’s homesickness became stronger as the surrounding scenery became more familiar, and she wished to fly into the house in the next step.

After leaving Sirius Mountain, she saw the familiar courtyard at the foot of the mountain from a distance. The cool little courtyard with mill brick walls revealed its kind appearance from the green bamboo. Outside the gate, Ru Shi who had received news from Li Yu had already stood there waiting.

Ru Shi led Sanlang, Sanlang led Li Yu, and Li Yu was also squatting with the big black dog watching the house. Four in a row, all stretched their necks and looked into the mountain.

Yuan Xiang used to not understand the meaning of the word home, and no matter how many days she was away on business, it would not give her much emotional excitement. To her, the hotel bed and the bed at home were the same.

Only there, she got off the back of Nan He and ran all the way to Ru Shi, feeling that the happy heart almost jumped out of her chest.

The joy that came from the heart and filled her chest told her that the real meaning of home was not in the house and bed, but in the people waiting for her at home.

Yuan Xiang ran so fast that she almost slammed her head into Ru Shi’s arms. She remembered that she was an adult, and it was hard to pretend to be dumb like she did when she was a child, and stopped in front of Ru Shi. 

She shouted loudly, “Shiniang, I’m back!”

Ru Shi glanced at her, but then took her by the hand and into her arms. The soft and delicate palm stroked Yuan Xiang’s messy hair, “How old are you? Still like this.”

Yuan Xiang brought herself back to her childhood with a thick skin, and she hugged Ru Shi’s waist for a while before she started introducing new friends to Ru Shi and everyone.

“These are the brothers, Shi Fu and Shi Jun. They will live in our town in the future.”

Shi Fu was a little nervous, with a scar on his face, he looked a bit fierce. For fear that he would leave a bad impression on Ru Shi, he made a solemn and ancient ceremony.

Shi Jun saluted and hid behind his brother, pulling his brother’s clothes, looked at Ru Shi and just smiled.

“What a beautiful child, welcome. Look at me, I forgot, let’s go to the house and rest,” Ru Shi smiled, bent over and gently touched Xiao Jun’s face.

She turned around and called everyone into the house.

Shi Jun touched his cheek and looked at the back of Ru Shi, “Ah Xiang’s Madam is so gentle, as gentle as my mother.”

In fact, Meng Zhang was far from being gentle.

When he saw Meng Zhang for the first time, Shi Jun was very disappointed. His mother was completely different from what he imagined. She was not as beautiful, kind and gentle as his father said.

But now he could puff up his small chest proudly. He thought his mother was also beautiful and gentle. She was also very strong, and even fought against a big demon like Tu Shan in order to protect them.

In the evening, after having a good meal and setting up everyone to rest, Yuan Xiang took Nan He to Ru Shi’s bedroom alone.

“What are you doing?” Sitting under the lamp turned out to be Ru Shi.

Yuan Xiang was a little awkward, she pushed Nan He a little bit, “Nan He, pour a cup of tea for Shiniang.”

Nan He didn’t understand why, but he quickly poured a cup of tea from the tea set on the table, holding both hands in front of Ru Shi.

“I can’t drink tea casually. Anyway, I have to make it clear.” Ru Shi looked at Nan He and smiled, “Xiao Nan, you probably don’t know. Only the bride will serve tea to the elders.”

Nan He’s eyes widened. He turned his head and peeked at Yuan Xiang. A pair of pink ears appeared on his head, but the hand holding the teacup was firmly motionless.

Yuan Xiang touched her nose, and when it came to that, she was ashamed that she could only stalk her neck.

She also arrived at the tea table, and according to local habits, respectfully kneeled at Ru Shi’s feet. Nan He did a good job and knelt beside her.

“In this world, the closest people to me are Shifu and Shiniang, so I have to tell you about this matter after all,” Yuan Xiang’s face was red, but her voice was firm.

Ru Shi held her hand and looked at the girl who she raised with her own hand. She was so small when she first came. Now she could travel north and south by herself, taking care of her lifelong affairs.

But she still decided to explain her thoughts clearly, “Xiang’er, there is a solid racial canal between demons and humans. This path is much harder than others. Did you really think about it?”

Yuan Xiang raised her head without any hesitation and said, “Well, I’m ready. I like Nan He and want to be with him for the rest of my life.”

Nan He was looking at her. At that moment, Ah Xiang’s face was red, her eyes gleaming, and realizing that he was looking at her, she quietly turned her eyes and glanced at him.

Nan He felt that he could remember that for a lifetime.

At this moment, he really wanted to give everything he had to Ah Xiang, and wanted to do whatever she wanted for her.
