Demon King's Repayment - chapter 295

Yuan Chunhua was both embarrassed and reluctant. 

She reluctantly held Yuan Xiang’s hand and said, “Ah Xiang, if you are free, go back and see your parents.”

Yuan Xiang said, “My father and mother sold me at the beginning, thirty taels of silver, the gratitude of birth was paid, I will not go back.”

Yuan Chunhua was taken aback, “How can you say that? After all, parents are parents and there is no reason to deny it. Moreover, it was a last resort at the beginning.”

“Why can’t I say that? I have clearly seen the deed back then. It clearly read, life, death, sickness, and death, each by destiny, four directions, let the master take our place, no entanglement, never recognize each other. Since I was sold as a commodity, naturally I would no longer be their daughter.”

“That…that’s just a contract made according to the usual practice,” the eldest sister said. She really couldn’t figure out how the gentle and sensible little sister back then could say such rebellious words and deny her relationship with her parents.

Yuan Xiang slowly pulled her hand out of her hand and left, “Sister, take care. If I am free, I’ll come see you again.”

…

Yuan Xiang walked silently on the road.

Qingyuan was very surprised when he heard that story, “You have a very contradictory personality. You seem to be so soft-hearted usually. Why are you so merciless to your parents? Xiao Xiang, don’t be awkward, to them after all, your mother gave birth to you. Since we are so close, their house is only a few steps away, so turn around and have a look, okay?”

In this era when filial piety was held at top, even a cultivator like Qingyuan could hardly not understand Yuan Xiang’s mentality.

Wuyuan was upset, “Why should Ah Xiang recognize them? Since they didn’t want Ah Xiang when they were young, naturally she can also not want them. It doesn’t matter who gave birth, a filial person should care about the person who bothers to raise her. Just like my father is not my biological father, I love him very much, and only listen to him.”

Hu Qing: “That’s right, Ah Xiang, don’t listen to the smelly Taoist. Ah, isn’t your father your biological father?”

Wu Yuan knew that he had exposed his life experience, and was very upset, “What if he isn’t my father? My father is much better than my biological father.”

Dushuo: “We don’t care who your biological father or mother is. When you come out of the egg, the first person you see, the one who raised you, is the parent.”

Words were being spoken there, and a call came from behind.

Yuan Chunhua’s husband caught up all the way out of breath.

“Sister-in-law.” He bent over and gasped for a few breaths, and an embarrassing red color appeared on his dark face, “I’m a rough person and don’t know manners. I was impolite just now.”

He handed the two bulging purses to Yuan Xiang, “This is too much, we can’t take it.”

There was a little silver and two gold ingots in the purse. These things were nothing to Yuan Xiang, but the man in front of her ran sweaty and resolutely rejected it, even though the money could help the poor family a lot.

That made Yuan Xiang, who had been struggling for a long time, feel a little better.

“Brother-in-law, treat my sister well. Take the money. I gave it to my nieces. Don’t let my sister take it back to her natal home.”

“It’s the first time I, your brother-in-law, met you. I didn’t give you anything, but instead took your things. It’s not justified.”

The man wanted to catch up, but Yuan Xiang had already left.

Obviously she was a petite girl with a few gentle and handsome lords, but when he really started off, Yuan Chunhua’s husband found that he couldn’t catch up.

The silhouette of the group of people didn’t move, but they disappeared from his sight very quickly.

At that moment, Yuan Chunhua’s husband realized that his wife’s sister who suddenly appeared at home that day may not be an ordinary person.

Because of the delay there for a long time, the sky soon darkened. Yuan Xiang and her party avoided the inn and chose a secluded place in the suburbs for the night.

As the night fell, foxes and worms made noises, most of the companions had fallen asleep.

Yuan Xiang leaned on Nan He’s huge fluffy body and looked at the stars in the night sky.

‘Xiao Nan, do you miss your parents?’ Yuan Xiang started the contract and spoke in her mind.

‘Well, I miss them all the time.’

‘They left Sirius Mountain and didn’t wait for you, are you angry with them?’

‘Angry, even though I knew they had to leave, I was still very sad and angry for a long time. But I still miss them.’

Yuan Xiang and him looked at the Sirius star hanging low in the sky. The star was so dazzling and eye-catching in the night, as if it was also looking at them on the earth from the night sky.

‘When I was young, I couldn’t ask for anything from them, so I was frustrated. Now I have gotten what I want most from Master and Shiniang, so there are no more regrets.’

‘Ah Xiang, if you want to go back and have a look at them, I will accompany you.’

Although Yuan Xiang didn’t say anything, Nan He still guessed that she wanted to take a look.

Yuan Xiang rode on his back, and quickly returned to Yuanjia Village where she was born.

Occasionally, the voice of human beings enjoying the coolness and speaking came from the courtyards.

Everything was too quiet and peaceful.

That was not the hometown Yuan Xiang remembered.

In Yuan Xiang’s memory, that season was the most active day for the little sprites. The abundant rain and the moist weather would make the light sprite dance happily in the woods, and the barefoot fairies would be there.

Yuan Xiang walked slowly along the familiar dirt road.

There were no longer light sprites lingering in the air. There was no chirping chick or weasel, and no bunny with red eyes at every turn.

Those demons, large and small, had been completely wiped out by humans.
