Demon King's Repayment - chapter 264

On the way back to the city, Nan He turned into a human form. He carried the young Dong’er on his back, and walked back slowly with Yuan Xiang shoulder to shoulder.

Dong’er was a little afraid of him, but because she had been docile since childhood, she didn’t dare to refuse. So she could only lie on Nan He’s back with a small stiff body.

Yuan Xiang opened a pack of sweet-scented osmanthus candy that she had just bought in the town, and took out one to coax her, “Oh sweet-scented osmanthus, ah, open your mouth.”

Dong’er’s eyes brightened. After all, she was only a five or six-year-old kid, unable to resist the temptation of sweetness, she opened her mouth and accepted Yuan Xiang’s feeding. With something in her mouth, she slowly relaxed.

Yuan Xiang put another one in Nan He’s mouth. Before she could retrieve her fingers, she was bitten by the wolf man. The sharp canine teeth held her finger in his mouth and bit hard, and the warm tongue was still greasy with the fingertips, before letting her go.

Ah, did Xiao Nan lose his calm so quickly?

‘You thought Dong’er is here, so I wouldn’t dare to do anything?’ Yuan Xiang’s voice of a smile but not a smile rang in Nan He’s mind, ‘Seeing that I won’t catch you, I would fart in public.’

Nan He was impossible for her to catch, he was afraid that Yuan Xiang would really do what she said.

Dong’er lay on the broad shoulders, only to see two small bags suddenly bulging out of the silver curly hair in front of her, and then two fluffy ears came out of it.

The person carrying her started to run quickly, leaving Yuan Xiang’s laughing behind him.

The surrounding scenery retreated quickly, but it seemed that for her consideration, that person’s back was always stable. He quickly ran into a bush forest, stopped under a hibiscus tree full of flowers, and turned his face back to look at the way.

There were beautiful hibiscus flowers on the branches.

Under the tree canopy, the amber eyes were reflected with flowers, the picturesque eyebrows were dyed with happiness, and the cheeks of red piled up in the summer sun.

The joy that overflew from the bottom of his heart was very contagious, making Dong’er’s fearful heart gradually settled.

She knew very well that the man carrying herself was not a human, but a big silver dog or a white wolf.

Dong’er, who had seen demons since childhood, was actually not so afraid of these creatures that were completely different from humans. Compared with them, her father who returned late at night drunk and her grandma who sat in a dark corner and ridiculed her mother made her more terrifying from the heart.

She knew since she was sensible, because she was a girl, her grandmother made her mother embarrassed from time to time, and her father didn’t like her very much.

The cousins ​​in the yard often sat on their father’s shoulders, and happily went out to visit the market and watch the lanterns. But she had never had such a memory, not even once.

In most of her memories, she could only sit next to her mother, silently watching her mother repeat the boring work day after day.

Unexpectedly, it was a demon who carried her on his back for the first time.

It turned out that it felt like this at a high place, Dong’er stretched out her small hand to reach for a light pink lotus on the branch.

She wanted to pick one, but she couldn’t reach it because of her short hands. A big palm stretched out from the side, folded down the most beautiful hibiscus flower, and handed it to her.

“Want this?” Nan He’s nice voice sounded.

“Well, one more.”

“This one?”

“One more.”

…

When Yuan Xiang caught up with them, she saw the little baby sitting on Nan He’s shoulders holding a large pink hibiscus flower in her arms. She wore several flowers on her head, and put one on Nan He.

When Nan He saw her coming, he was a little bit embarrassed and wanted to take the flowers off.

“Don’t, it’s better if you wear it, it looks pretty,” Yuan Xiang laughed.

Nan He carried Dong’er on his back, Yuan Xiang held his arm, and the three walked slowly in the shade of the mottled trees admiring the flowers.

Dong’er was frightened all night, and then ran around the whole morning, so she gradually fell asleep on Nan He’s back at that even pace.

Walking happily to the door of the Zhang house, outside the wall of the compound, stood the demon with a huge head. At that moment, his hands were in his sleeves, his huge head was hanging down, and even the little official hat on his head was slanted.

At his feet, two tiny little demons stood holding hands. Yuan Xiang had seen them in the big flower house. They liked to eat shortbread.

Seeing no one around, Yuan Xiang stepped forward and asked, “What’s the matter? Why are you all standing here?”

The big-headed demon said dejectedly, “I was the patron saint of the Zhang family. I have lived in this courtyard for hundreds of years, but now I can’t live anymore.”

“Why can’t you live?”

She knew that the type of demon was mostly transformed by the spirit body of the ancestors in the family. For many years, they had received incense offerings from their descendants and became the guardian spirit of the house. Normally, they would not leave the ancestral house.

Two little fairies holding hands spoke, each in a childish voice.

“A terribly big demon is here at home.”

“We dare not stay inside anymore.”

“It’s okay for the two of us, but uncle is pitiful.”

“He is the guardian spirit. After leaving the incense worship of the younger generation, he will gradually become smaller, and finally disappear.”

Yuan Xiang let out a cry, “What powerful demon? Can’t guardian spirits like you drive him out?”
