Demon King's Repayment - chapter 284

“Perhaps, the key lies in memory?” Yuan Xiang was a little confused. This question was still too esoteric for her age, “It should be said that using this body to feel the good and evil in the world, the bits and pieces of memories that are produced, and the way of thinking in general is what makes me Yuan Xiang. Anyone who lacks one of them can no longer be regarded as Yuan Xiang.”

“You’re really the master’s disciple. It’s rare to be so young but transparent. With you, there may be more variables in this world,” Su Bai smiled and nodded. 

His appearance gradually faded, “I’ll leave now, cherish my friend.”

‘Ah Xiang, why are you crying?’ Nan He gently pushed Yuan Xiang to wake her from the trance memory.

She touched her face, her cheeks became a little wet.

‘Speaking of which I understand, but I still can’t bear it,’ Yuan Xiang sighed, stretched out her hand to circle Nan He’s chest, pressed her cheek on his warm chest, and tried to soothe her emotions.

The fish tank in her hand was already empty. Dan Luo in a black robe was standing in front of the little crib, looking down at the little baby boy in the bed.

His broken fish tail never fully recovered, and his human-shaped legs became weak. He needed to support the railing of the bedside with his hands to support his body, but he stared at the newborn life in the swaddle without blinking. That immature, young, and full of vitality little human being.

The chain with the seal on his wrist shook slightly, and Dan Luo stretched out his hand toward the new life.

That was a strange cub. He was not Su Bai. It could be said that he had no similarities with Su Bai, but it inexplicably gave Dan Luo a little familiarity and peace of mind.

Dan Luo’s fingers were hanging in the air, he wanted to touch him, but he couldn’t.

At that moment, the baby broke free. The soft hand grabbed Dan Luo’s finger and gave out a happy laugh. His little mouth also spat out bubbles.

Stupid, how could this be Su Bai? Dan Luo thought.

But he was a bit like Su Bai, didn’t he like smiling in a silly way?

When the baby waved his arms, a short shoulder was exposed, and there was a small black birthmark on that white shoulder.

It was shaped like a fish and its forehead was dyed red.

It turned out that it didn’t completely disappear, but it was still there, just to live in another way.

Dan Luo’s heart, which had been pressed by something, suddenly felt loose. It seemed that he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

‘Dan Luo seems to be smiling,’ Nan He said to Yuan Xiang.

‘Ah, really? It turns out that he smiles too. After half a year, I thought he only learned one expression.’

After leaving that place, Yuan Xiang sat on Nan He’s back and flew, holding the small transparent fish tank in her hand.

“Senior Su Bai told me to take you to take a look so that you don’t feel so sad,” she spoke to Dan Luo, who was swinging his tail in the fish tank.

“Now I will take you to the other world. There is a world of demons, full of Qi and following your own laws. You sleep in the sea, and when you wake up, you can live there.”

Maybe he didn’t want to, but Dan Luo was a demon who fed on humans. Yuan Xiang was a human race. That was a decision she made after weighing it.

At that moment, the sun was setting. The quaint and deep Sirius Mountain range quickly appeared in sight, and the entrance to the other world was hidden in the depths of the mountain.

“When we enter, I will remove the iron chain seal on your wrist and find a beautiful lake to hide you under the water. What do you think?”

“I didn’t dare to tell Wuyuan and the others, otherwise those little guys might be reluctant to bear it, they would jump up and shout.”

While speaking, Yuan Xiang flew all the way into Sirius Mountain, and stopped in the air on an empty mountain with nothing but a drenched lake.

They were only one arm away from the rippling blue water. The transparent and beautiful fish tank was lifted to the water by Yuan Xiang. The shackles on Dan Luo’s body were removed, but the array that sealed the demon had already been drawn on the fish tank.

As long as she let go, the little fish tank would sink into the bottom with him, and he would fall into a long sleep.

That sinking would be for a hundred years. After Dan Luo wakes up, perhaps the passage between the two realms would no longer be found. At that time Yuan Xiang would no longer be alive, and they would never have a chance to meet each other again.

“This is Dushuo’s spirit feather. He asked me to leave it to you.” Yuan Xiang put a special feather into the transparent fish tank and let it float on the water, “Although it’s a bit simple, it covers your body shape. It shouldn’t be a problem to prevent the stray demons from finding you. You could keep it for use when you wake up.”

“By the way, Shi Fu also sent a lot of reed seeds. He asked me to sow them by the lake, so that when you wake up a hundred years from now, the scenery here would be very similar to your hometown, in fear that you would not be used to it.”

Yuan Xiang found that her words were a bit trivial. She didn’t know why she said so much.

It had been more than half a year since returning from Lianghe Town. Watching the fish at the bottom of the lake swimming around in the water every day, watching his serious injury get better, and his tail slowly growing out, she gradually became more familiar with him.

She was no longer able to lock him coldly as before, and there was a feeling of reluctance when parting.

“I bound your hands before, and forced you to enter another world. I’m really sorry.” Yuan Xiang tried to be gentle, “Do you need anything else? Please tell me. I will do it for you.”

Dan Luo was as before, silent, even his tail didn’t move.

Just as Yuan Xiang’s fingers were about to loosen, the little fish in the transparent tank suddenly waved his tail and swam a half circle.

Yuan Xiang didn’t know what he wanted to express,

But Nan He suddenly said, “If you want to live in the floating world, speak now, otherwise there will be no chance.”

The little fish in the tank swam another half circle, just when Yuan Xiang thought he should not say anything.

A deep and unique voice suddenly sounded, “It’s just a few decades, nothing is impossible.”

Yuan Xiang didn’t understand.

Nan He reluctantly added a sentence for him, “What he meant is that the life span of human beings is only a few decades, and there is nothing wrong with being your apostle.”

“Really?” Yuan Xiang was happy now, and raised the fish tank with both hands, “Are you really willing to live with us?”

At that time, the bright moon rose in the mountain, and the moon blossoms spread to the earth.

The demon wiggled his tail, after that, he said nothing to deny it.
