Demon King's Repayment - chapter 234

In the midsummer season, the leaves were green and dark, and the cicadas were in harmony.

In the sunny corner of the courtyard, the half-person-high little white penny sapling straightened its immature body in the sunlight and was full of energy. A small tree spirit sat on the green leaves, looking around curiously with his head held high.

He was born into that world not long ago, and everything there was new and interesting to him.

Near him was a hut where firewood was placed, and on the roof sat a man with silver waist-length hair.

The man noticed his scrutiny, opened his long and narrow eyelids, and turned his eyes to look at him.

“Are you a demon, or a human?” Xiao Bai asked with a childish look on his face.

“That’s Senior Nan He, be polite and say hello,” Ah Tong fluttered her wings, came behind him, and said to him.

“Senior Nan He,” Xiao Bai greeted him obediently.

 Nan He raised his arm and bowed his head in return.

 That senior looked very powerful and gentle.

The elder sister Ah Tong beside him was the tree spirit of the plane tree. The elder sister  planted her there on the same day as him. Although she only germinated a few days earlier than him, she seemed to understand everything, and was very enthusiastic and loving to take care of others.

“Xiao Bai, grow up quickly, so I can take you out to play. There are a lot of humans outside,” Sister Ah Tong kept talking with him.

 “Humans are very interesting. They can weave beautiful strips of cloth and wrap them around their bodies. They like to sing and dance, and they also put beautiful fireworks into the sky.”

Xiao Bai’s eyes were bright and he listened very attentively. The yard was warm and cozy. The lively atmosphere made him vaguely familiar. It seemed that someone had been there, and someone called him Xiao Bai like that before. But he couldn’t remember when he had a similar experience.

“It seems that there are few companions like us here.” Ah Tong sat down beside Xiao Bai zhu, lowered her eyelashes and looked at her toes, “I’m probably the only one who likes humans so much. I troubled Ah Xiang to bring me out.”

“No, it’s not only Ah Tong, I also like humans,” Bai Zhu said hurriedly.

 “Really?”

“Really, really, I don’t remember much, but I’m sure I like human beings. I like Ah Xiang, the madam, and those children running around outside. Of course I also like Ah Tong and everyone.”

Ah Tong giggled and kicked Bai Zhu’s feet with her fair feet.

The green branches swayed in the bright sunshine.

“Shiniang, I’m going out for a while,” Yuan Xiang’s voice came from inside the house, she quickly ran out and sat on the eaves to change her shoes and socks.

“Hey, where are you going?”

“Going to the Shi brother’s house to see if they are used to living in their new home.”

Ru Shi brought out a box of food, “Take this and give it to the two children for me, say hello to them.”

Yuan Xiang walked out with a smile.

In the yard, she picked up Li Yu who was coming over, put it in her carry-on bag, and connected Wu Yuan. Then she waved to Nan He, who was meditating on the roof, and finally said hello to Dushuo, who was sitting on the plane tree, before she opened the courtyard door and went out.

“Nan He, Dushuo, Ah Qing, Ah Tong, Xiao Bai, I’m going out,” her cheerful voice stayed in the yard.

Ru Shi stood on the eaves and watched her leave, and wiped her apron with her flour-soaked hand.

The yard was getting more lively.

Ah Yao, Xiang had done a great job, just like you did.

The new residence of the Shi brothers was bought by Yuan Xiang.

A small house with three entrances did not look too conspicuous on the outside, but the interior was comfortable and luxurious.

The best thing was that the back garden of that small courtyard was connected to a large pond with clear water, which was also bought by Yuan Xiang.

Zhou Deyun, Mrs. Lou Tai and even General Qiu at the frontier all sent Yuan Xiang a generous gift. Coupled with the mountain of wealth that her master left behind in the family’s warehouse, Yuan Xiang often felt that there was too much money to use.

It was a rare time to help a friend. Thinking of Meng Zhang’s personality preferences, Yuan Xiang opened up to spend. Under the circumstance that it was not too conspicuous, almost the best furniture and utensils that could be bought in the world were all put in the brothers’ new house.

The golden bed, the brocade quilt and the fur carpet, the jade bowl and the golden pot, and the flowers and stones, filled the whole house.

“Ah Xiang, this is too much. We feel so embarrassed,” the two brothers said when they first went there.

Their former home was only three or two thatched huts, and Shi Fu even had to work hard in the Colosseum to barely make ends meet.

“Don’t thank me, it’s all your mother’s money. I don’t know how much I’ve taken advantage of her.” Yuan Xiang said with a smile, “Come in and see, if you need anything, tell me.” 

Shi Jun looked at his brother, pulled his clothes, and his eyes were bright, “It was given by our mother, brother.”

Shi Fu took his hand and led him into the house.

Their mother, gentle and beautiful, strong and invincible, and very rich. She asked Ah Xiang to help prepare such a comfortable place for them to live.

That time, when Yuan Xiang came to visit, she called at the door for a long time, and Shi Jun came to answer the door with his head and body wet.

After returning from the dragon’s lair, the Shi brothers lit up the swimming skills in their bloodline talents. The water pool that Yuan Xiang prepared for them was almost the source of Shi Jun’s happiness every day.

“Going to soak in water again? Where’s your brother?” Yuan Xiang took a seat on the chair in the front hall.

Although there were no other outsiders in the house, it had been cleaned. The courtyard had even been planted with flowers and plants, and a small vegetable field had been opened. Obviously, the two brothers cherished it very much and were used to life there.

Wu Yuan jumped off Yuan Xiang’s shoulder and led Li Yu to walk around the yard. He and Shi Jun walked all the way and were very skilled. He had been to that place several times, and this was the first time for Li Yu.

Six or seven-year-old Shi Jun brought tea and snacks in a sensible manner, “Ah Xiang, you should have some snacks first. My brother is not at home, he has gone out to find a job.” 

“Is the money not enough? If it’s not enough, you can tell me.”
