Demon King's Repayment - chapter 331

“Hey, why is there a tomb under the tree?” Ru Shi pushed aside the grass, and a dilapidated tombstone buried appeared in the messy long grass. 

She was startled, “Whose tomb is this? No names are engraved. It looks pitiful.”

She pulled out some grass in front of the tombstone, took out a small pot of white moonlight from the bamboo that she had just bought at the market, and placed it on the land in front of the stone monument, “I’ll give this to you, I wish you peace in the afterlife.”

Mrs. Yun (Ru Shi) stood up and said to her, “Let’s go back, Ah Xiang. Aren’t Xiao Di and the others coming to the house today? Let’s go back earlier and prepare something delicious.”

Yuan Xiang stared at the shadow under the pear tree for a while, before reluctantly following, “I’m coming.”

At midnight, when it was quiet, Yuan Xiang returned to that tree.

A dim figure stood behind the lonely grave overgrown with grass.

The man’s eye sockets were hollow, his right arm was severed, and his body was wounded.

It was exactly the same as when the head teacher died ten years ago.

“So long time has passed, what can’t be forgotten? What are you doing in this world?” Yuan Xiang said to the soul behind the old tree.

A dull and cold voice came from the darkness in a low voice, “A sinful person like me, even if I enter the cycle of reincarnation, I have only the fate of turning into an animal. What is the fun of being a slave and being used by others? Why not slowly dissipate in the world?”

“So you know that what you did was a sin?” The person was dead, and Yuan Xiang no longer had any grievances against him, and calmly talked to him, “My mother once told me that if a person makes a mistake, he should bear the results they have caused. Although the punishment is painful, there will always be a day to end the past. It is better than perishing forever.”

The shadow in the darkness was silent for a long time, with a bit of a wry smile, “Everything will start all over again. I won’t have any memory of the past. I will no longer be me, so why mind being a man or an animal?”

Yuan Xiang took out the golden ball, “If you want to leave, I can help.”

“Where is your… master?” The figure asked.

“Although the master is not in a very good state, he is still alive, and there is still a glimmer of hope with him alive,” Yuan Xiang did not want to talk more about her master to that person.

The ghost moved slightly in the night breeze for half a step, then slowly backed away, and finally just said, “If this is the case, then I’ll trouble you.”

The process was accompanied by a bell sound, and it sounded in the night of the village.

A faint glow of fireflies through the dense branches and leaves of the pear tree, bid farewell to the scattered fruits on the branches, and flew away.

………

When she returned to the house, Nan He had already woken up.

Yuan Xiang sat down by the bed and unfolded a page of paper she had just got, “I met the remnant soul of Master Miao, and he gave me this.”

“What is it?” Nan He poked his head out.

“It seems to be a formula for refining the eternal pill.”

Nan He’s eyes lit up, quickly took the paper and looked at it.

“It doesn’t help, I’ve read it.” Yuan Xiang got into Nan He’s warm arms, “First of all, this thing is hard to find in the world. It needs a pure, good, and strong Qi that has undergone thousands of trials..”

“When the ancestor of Sangjun ascended, your master’s core, who was the golden pill stage, got bathed with the tribulations in the spiritual cave,” Nan He said.

“Master Miao is so contradictory. While he hates my master, he also thinks that my master is the most pure and good person. He even thinks that my master could be compared with Sanjun.”

“Where to find such a thing? Don’t force it.” Yuan Xiang hugged Nan He and said pleasant words as much as possible, distracting him, “I’ve been out for a long time, I’m so cold, quickly cover me with your tail.”

The handsome man put his most sensitive tail in her hand.

“Master can’t break the life and death cycle, nor could Master Miao. How many people in this world can sit and watch the disappearance of the life of their most cherished person?” Nan He approached her ear, “I sometimes even rejoice that the person who leaves first will be you, not me, and you don’t have to live alone in the world to face such an unbearable moment.”

His hot thin lips gently bit on Yuan Xiang’s cold ear, whispering his thoughts, “Ah Xiang, you don’t have to worry too much about me. I’m ready, as long as you are reincarnated, it doesn’t matter what you become. Whether you look different, whether you have a different personality, or whether you are still a human, I will find you and fall in love with each of you again.”

“Just rest assured and live your life well. Let me do the rest.”

…

Nan He was rarely romantic. But as long as he spoke, his words were sweeter than Yuan Xiang’s hundred sentences.

Yuan Xiang put her head in front of his chest, preventing him from seeing her wet eyes, and touched the silvery tail behind him.

Suddenly, there was a fragrance.
