Demon King's Repayment - Chapter 28

“Pisces array, this is the unique Pisces array! How can you do this?” The snake demon, completely bound and immobile, was surprised. The red runes strangled her face and pressed her on the ground but it couldn’t stop her from expressing the surprise in her heart.

Yuan Xiang was no less surprised than her. Shifu left without saying goodbye, leaving no words nor any tokens of magical artifacts—at least, she used to think so.

Unexpectedly, Shifu had left such an array guarding her in her eyes.

Yuan Xiang raised her hand and touched her left eye lightly.

She remembered the moment when Shifu showed her this Pisces array. It was the day before he disappeared. He touched her head and said those words. At that time at noon, Shi Shiran was lying on the sycamore tree, Xiqu was at her feet, and Shifu squatted in front of her, stared into her eyes then made her fall into a dream. In that dream, she listened to the sound of the waves and saw a big fish swimming between the sea and the sky. Over the years, her eyes had occasionally felt uncomfortable, which made her develop a habit of rubbing her eyes…

All the details that she hadn’t paid attention to when she was young appeared one by one.

It turned out that Shifu left such an important thing for her. Yuan Xiang lowered her head and looked at the hand that had just touched her eyes, it was damp.

Why did Shifu leave back then and for what reason did he not come back for so many years?

“My God. What’s the matter?”

Niang Yun hurried out from the kitchen. Facing the messy and smoke-filled courtyard, she covered her mouth in surprise.

At the beginning of the battle, the thick fog released by the snake demon formed a unique enchantment. The battle within the thick fog was so earth-shattering that people outside the fog could neither hear the movement nor clearly see the situation inside and could only see the grey mist.

Therefore, it wasn’t until the snake demon was subdued by the Bound Demon array and the dense fog cleared that Yun Niang in the kitchen heard the noise in the courtyard and hurried out to see the situation.

“Uh,” Yuan Xiang just said, “A big snake just appeared.”

Yun Niang couldn’t see the snake bound by her. She only saw Yuan Xiang sitting on the ground with a gray head and Nan He who had just changed back to the appearance of a little wolf.

“Snake?” Seeing the blood on Nan He, Yun Niang was anxious, “The wound on Xiao Nan’s body was due to a snake? What should I do?”

She reached out to hug Xiao Nan He.

Nan He shook his head, avoided her hand, then walked slowly towards Yuan Xiang who sat on the ground.Yuan Xiang couldn’t climb for a while from lack of strength. The little wolf she had raised for several days walked slowly towards her and climbed up on her leg with a few kicks. He found a place on her knees and curled up. He fell asleep.

Nan He inhaled too much poison gas during the battle. At this moment, the poisonous fire attacked, his head was dizzy, so he subconsciously found a corner that made him feel comfortable to sleep. He stumbled across a place that had a somewhat familiar temperature and soon fell into a deep sleep.

“By the way, there is snake poison medicine in the house. Wait, I’ll get it right away,” Yun Niang slapped her hand, turned and walked quickly into the house.

But, was that dog so big?

After walking a few steps, Yun Niang had this strange idea in her mind but because she was eager to get the medicine, she skipped the question.

Although Nan He had restored the appearance of a young wolf, it was obviously larger than before. He was lying on Yuan Xiang’s leg like a large white fluffy ball.

He had fallen asleep.

“Xiao Nan? What’s wrong with you?”

“It’s poisoned and the snake medicine in this world is ineffective. Only I have the special medicine.” The snake demon tied up in the array raised her neck and looked at Yuan Xiang with pleading eyes, “If you let me out, I will give you the antidote.”

“You give me the antidote first and I will consider whether to let you go or not,” Yuan Xiang said.

When she said that, she was doing a good job, and bargained to get the antidote.

But a small porcelain bottle had already rolled out from the snake demon. Yuan Xiang opened it carefully and found that it contained half a bottle of small dark brown pills with a fragrant smell.

“This medicine can cure the world’s hundreds of poisons. Give him one and he will wake up soon. But he is from the Sirius clan and has a strong blood. Even if he didn’t take the medicine, he can heal himself.”

Not only did the snake demon readily give the antidote, she also explained Nan He’s family background, showing an expression that said, “The medicine is for you, let me go”.Yuan Xiang didn’t know whether she was innocent or stupid. She suddenly understood why these inexperienced demons kept talking about the “shameless humans” after they walked around the world.

Beautiful appearance, strong ability, and undefended heart. Demons were indeed not suitable for walking in the human world.

…

In his sleep, Nan He faintly heard the sound of rain and the voice of women.He slept in a warm and soft place, with a palm running down his back, combing his fur.

The fingers went deep into his dense fur, gently separating the condensed hair, stroking his skin, sometimes with a soft fingertip, sometimes with a strong knuckle pressing, and each stroke was comfortable. This reminded Nan He of his childhood. When he was young, he and his brothers and sisters huddled together in a warm nest to sleep and their mother often combed their hair in that way.
