Demon King's Repayment - chapter 330

“It turns out that it’s not that I can’t kill him. It’s that I dareh not, dareh not take his life.” The faint tone sounded intermittently behind Haohan, muttering to himself, “It seems…I too I don’t hate him that much. Maybe what I’ve been hating is just my weak self.”

Haohan didn’t answer, but moved forward.

“I…have no power to control you, everyone else ran away, why didn’t you leave?”

“As I said, we have always worshiped the strong. From the moment you defeated me, I promised to serve you as my master.” Haohan ran forward, “The master and the servant, the beginning and the end, I will serve you till the end.”

He ran a long way in the wilderness, and never heard any movement again, so he thought that Master Miao was dead.

A weak self-deprecating voice came from behind, “God didn’t treat badly after all. People like me, in the end, actually got…”

Master Miao did not go on.

Haohan stopped near a human village, where there was an old huge pear tree at the intersection.

The old branches were thick and knotted. He didn’t know how many years they had been rooted there, but they were still alive and full of pear blossoms.

Haohan asked, “Is this the place?”

“Yes…full of fruit, yellow fruit.”

Master Miao’s eyes couldn’t see things. At that moment, he couldn’t feel the Qi of the world anymore. Only complete darkness was left in the world.

“It’s spring, how could there be fruits? There are only flowers, a tree with white flowers.”

A faint fragrance of pear blossoms floated in the air.

Master Miao felt that he was back in the season of autumn,

“Friend, be happy, autumn is the harvest season,” the first acquaintance sat on the branch of the pear tree and handed him a yellow fruit, but he could not catch it.

Haohan heard an inaudible sigh behind him, “I regret.”

The pale pear blossom fell to the ground, and there was no sound from behind.

The gentle and powerful demon dug a pit under the pear tree, burying the person there forever.

…

Time passed, the ancient pear tree always stood in place, seeing the gathering and scattering of the world, blooming and falling.

A beautiful lady walked under the tree with a bamboo basket on her back, and a young girl followed by her side.

“Ms. Yun, Taoist Yuan Xiao, are you going home?” The farmer working in the field straightened up and greeted the two.

These two were neighbors who had recently moved to their village.

They bought an abandoned house in the village, but somehow they cleaned it up, and they quickly renovated it to be beautiful.

Many big trees were transplanted into the courtyard. One of the penny tree branches was luxuriant, and the pavilions were as big as the cover, very eye-catching.

There were also many guests coming and going in the courtyard, and the courtyard was full of liveliness and noise.

The two were gentle and got along well.

The young one was even practicing Taoism. Although young, she had high mana.

She could exorcism evil spirits and help with demons, and her fees were very low. People in the village liked to come to find her with some headaches. Not long after, Taoist Master Yuan Xiao’s name was famous in the village.

The farmer remembered that a few days ago, Taoist Master Yuan had just cured his youngest son’s stubborn illness.

So he quickly broke a few corn cobs from the ground, caught up with the two of them, and involuntarily stuffed them into Ru Shi’s basket.

“I just picked them from the field.”

Looking at the backs that were slowly going away, the farmer touched the sweat on his forehead, “Taoist Master Yuan Xiao is so young, she is already a sprite-like figure. Go to her house if you have a problem.”

The old farmer who worked side by side in the field straightened his back and squinted his eyes for a while and looked at the distance, “Speaking of a sprite-like person. There was one in our village many years ago.”

“That’s my grandfather’s generation.” The old farmer talked about old things. “When I was young, my grandfather told me from time to time that there was a demon in the village, and that demon and his wife lived in the village for many years. He worked tirelessly to ward off evil spirits, solve problems, and protect people.”

“Oh, by the way, there seems to be a stone in the name of that demon’s wife, which also says Lady Yun.”

…

Yuan Xiang held Ru Shi’s hand and passed the old pear tree with sparse fruits.

“After moving here, I haven’t walked this road yet. Shiniang, there is a big pear tree here.”

Girls had a love for beauty. Over the years, she had tried her best to exchange a pill to keep her youth from Qingyuan, the current head of the Qingyi Sect, so as to keep her youthful appearance forever.

When people looked young, their hearts were also young. Looking at the little fruits from afar, she wanted to go up the tree to pick them.

“How old are you? You’re the same as your master.” Ru Shi looked at the pear tree and remembered the past, “Many years ago, Ah Yao and I lived here. At that time, your master also liked climbing this pear tree the most. Unfortunately, the tree is getting older now, and doesn’t have as much fruit as it did in the past.”

Ru Shi and Yuan Xiang possessed the beauty-retaining technique. Unlike ordinary people, it was not suitable to live in one place for a long time. Every ten or twenty years, when they couldn’t hide it anymore, they had to move the entire courtyard with people and live in another place.

Fortunately, Yuan Xiang had already figured out the use of the small world of the stone table. Every time they moved, she could put everything she wanted to take away from the courtyard into the space of the stone table, so moving around was not that troublesome.

Id-nim note: The tree in the courtyard is a pear tree, not any other type, sorry for the inconvenience.
