Demon King's Repayment - chapter 256

A human boy spotted him peeping on the sidelines, “Hey, where did you come from? Can you play with shuttlecocks? Do you want to play together?”

The thing called a shuttlecock was a toy made of a pile of bird feathers tied to a copper coin, which could be kicked up and down on the feet. Nan He learned quickly, and he quickly became a leader in shuttlecock kicking. The colorful feathered shuttlecocks jumped on his ankles, shoulders, and knees as if being pulled. A group of children who were onlookers applauded, and they counted in unison.

He was really happy at that moment. He was the youngest wolf among his brothers and sisters. His brothers and sisters did not even bother to take him in fights.

The excitement in the world and the new friends made him feel extremely happy.

After the game, the children took out a little pocket money and surrounded the vendors selling snacks. The crystal clear candy made Nan He salivate, but he didn’t know where to get the coins to exchange for these delicacies.

“Here, I’ll give you one,” the boy who first greeted him was holding a pair of bamboo sticks in his hands. He stirred up a bunch of golden viscous maltose on the sticks, divided them into two balls, and handed one to Nan He.

“Take it, it’s sweet.”

“Ah, is it for me? Thank you.”

“Thank you, we are friends now, come here tomorrow to play.”

Nan He smiled and walked back, holding a ball of candy in his hand happily.

…

“Is it in this alley?” Yuan Xiang asked him.

Nan He was silent and did not speak. He turned into a tall and handsome man standing at the entrance of the alley.

A long time passed, and he became an adult, but the alley was almost as dirty and gloomy as it was a hundred years ago, and even the cracks in the floor tiles did not seem to have changed.

He could almost see the little himself being pressed into the array, and the golden candy falling into the mud, and being trampled under people’s feet. He even had no time to taste the sweetness that friend told him about.

A hand stained with blood in his nails reached out and lifted him up, fiddled with him twice, and smiled, “See what I caught? A young Sirius like this.”

“Whether it’s skinning and refining medicine, or contracting as an apostle, we can do anything that will earn a lot of money, hahaha.”

At that time, how much hatred and resentment he had in his heart, and even wanted to kill all the humans in this world.

A soft hand touched his cheek. Nan He struggled for a while, and when he came back to reality, he realized that Yuan Xiang was comforting him.

“It’s nothing, it happened a hundred years ago. I have forgotten it,” he held the cold brick wall and breathed quietly, showing Yuan Xiang a little smile.

“That was the first time you saw humans. Those people were really hateful. If I was you, I might hate humans to death.”

“Fortunately, I met you.”

“Ah, I didn’t seem to treat you very well at that time.”

Yuan Xiang no longer remembered how she got along with Nan He at the beginning. At the beginning, what she remembered most was a wolf always screaming at her.

“You were very good to me, put me in a basket, once again brought me into the lively human market, gave me sweet-scented osmanthus candy, and drew an array that was comfortable to lie in.”

If I hadn’t met you, I might still hate human beings, or perhaps I would have been immersed in the killing every day, sinking into a blind and bloodthirsty revenge.

The woman took his wrist and kissed his lips. Nan He stepped back half a step. His back was already against the cold wall.

“Ah Xiang…well.”

He wanted to talk. Although the entrance of the alley was dim, there were many people on the street.

Yuan Xiang’s wrist shook, and the light from the sky-shielding ring lit up a transparent aperture, and contained the figures, and the gradually overflowing fragrance in a completely transparent little world.

There was a street where people came and went. Although those people couldn’t see them, their presence still tightened Nan He’s nerves. The more he tensed, the stronger the stimulation he felt.

“Ah Xiang, don’t do that here…”

He refused, but his scalp was numb by the sweet fragrance that overflowed from his body. He quickly forgot everything and fell into the ultimate happiness.

That deep alley was originally an indelible painful memory in his life, but since that day, happy memories covered the deep nicks and replaced the eternal pain.

When Yuan Xiang and Nan He found Dahua’s house, it was already dusk.

Dahua went to the gate to greet her with surprise and joy.

“Ah Xiang, why are you here? Look at you, you didn’t come when I got married, now you are willing to come to see me,” Dahua complained again but was happy, and welcomed her home.

That was a large courtyard with blue bricks and white walls. The white walls were mottled and the vermilion paint was peeling off. The orange-red setting sun poured over half of the yard. There were many people in the yard, all of them stood up and nodded to guests who entered the house.

Yuan Xiang paused at the threshold and almost wanted to go back. Behind the smiling figures, stood a figure with a huge head, a narrow body and a straight robe.

The demon’s huge face had thin eyebrows and small eyes, and he also wore a low-grade official hat. He was also bowing his head with everyone.

“Should I eat him?” Nan He’s voice sounded in her mind.

“No, no, he is not malicious, usually the ancestors stay at home to guard the offspring. I was just taken aback by him, his head is too big.”
