Chapter 37: Demon King, you have my surname ah.
"What's wrong?" Noticing that she looked as if the sky had fallen, the two people looked at her in bewilderment.
Shi Xia sucked in a breath of cold air, grabbed Long Aotian's shoulders and shook him excitedly, "Long Aotian! Tell me, the Demon King that you guys say is so evil and ruthless, what exactly is his name?"
Long Aotian was shook into a milkshake by her, but still honestly replied, "The Demon King is the Demon King! As for the real name …… his sister is named ‘Shi Xia', so he should be surnamed Shi."
"What about the name? Name!"
"Uh …… that, I don't know."
"I know." Zhen Bing suddenly spoke.
Shi Xia's heart tightened, she turned around and grabbed his hand this time before urging, "Quickly say, what is his name?"
"His last name is indeed Shi, and the first name is a single word……"
"…… Dong?"
"Hmm."
"Shit!"
Shi Xia felt a bucket of cold water was poured down on her head. The little bit of hope she nurtured in her heart that she isn't the Demon King's sister immediately died down like a wisp of smoke. She felt as if the northern wind was penetrating her skin, making both her heart and body cold.
Turning around, she powerlessly laid down on the wooden table, she wants to be quiet!
Long Aotian was puzzled, looking at the instant loss of all vitality of Shi Xia, he couldn't help but ask, "benefactor, what happened?" What could make her so listless?
"Hehe …… hehe ……" Shi Xia burst into a bitter laugh, "I found out a harsh truth, the Demon King… … is really my brother!"
Shi Dong!
From the time of her birth, every year in summer, autumn and winter, this name, which has continuously appeared on the same account book with her since twenty four years ago to the present, is her real brother. Both legally and by blood!
When she was a child, he would braid her hair, cook her food and tell her bedtime stories. He was also the one who would beat up the boys at school who would chase her and send her love letters!
The situation of hers now is no different than before. Now, isn't she being chased too because she is the sister of the Demon King? Damn.
She used to think that the whole Cultivation Realm was sick in the head, wanting to kill someone who is not involved in their animosity towards Demon King at all. But she never thought that she would really be the sister of the Demon King. Her heart feels bitter, she wants to cry.
"This can't be! The Demon King disappeared a hundred years ago. How can he be related to you?" Long Aotian couldn't believe it. He gave her an expression that said, ‘Even if you want to change your name, you shouldn't relate yourself to someone so bad'.
Shi Xia powerlessly raised the note in her hand, on which was written a row of words that she could not mispronounce even if she read them backwards.
The universe's top handsome walkover→ the Demon King Shi Dong, resides here! <( ̄ ce ̄ )>
"This is indeed my brother's handwriting." She has been seeing him practising this somewhat flamboyant font since she was ten years old. Even if it turned to dust, she would have still recognized it. Not to mention that giggling, bitchy emoji written below the texts. This is the habit of her brainy brother. Whether it's WeChat or QQ, he has to leave it behind at every message.
So, calculating all the above!
"The Demon King is really my brother, my own brother ah!"
Shi Xia never could have expected that her brother would also cross into this world, with a 100-year time gap in between! Even though he came here, couldn't he wait to be a walkover? What the hell is being a Demon King for? How in the world did he get hired for such a stupid profession?
Since childhood, he didn't have any sense of humour, so why did he lay such funny formations on the way here ah? How come once he arrived here at the Cultivation World, he became sick in the end?
Could it be the late rebellious period?
"He is not!" Zhen Bing suddenly got angry. Pulling Shi Xia over, he stared straight into her eyes and said angrily, "He is not your brother! You have a brother ……but he's not the Demon King!" He exclaimed between gritted teeth.
Shi Xia froze, she is not even angry yet. What are you angry for ah?
"Good boy!" Shi Xia didn't think much of it and gave him a hug as if coaxing him, "Let's talk about this later, we have to get out of here!"
Even after all the work, the task was still not completed. The so-called ‘Wheel of Return' was not here either. This thing must be taken away by her brother. This trip here was nothing but a waste of time.
Just as they were about to return to the way they came, a green shadow suddenly sprang behind her. She reflexively dodged to the side, but suddenly felt the hand become lighter. When she looked at her palm, the box was gone.
"Hahahahahahahaha ……" A mad laughter rang out from the front, a man was standing on a longsword before them which was hovering in the air. Laughing wantonly and madly, he exclaimed, "‘Wheel of Return' is finally mine!"
"Ji Han!" Shi Xia was startled, when did this person follow them in, "Huh, how did he heal?" The wound he had on his chest from being pierced by a sword was actually gone.
"The Qi around him is disorganized." Zhen Bing frowned and said in a deep voice, "He ate the Wild Spirit Pill."
"Wild Spirit Pill?" What kind of forbidden medicine is that?
Zhen Bing frowned and explained, "Wild Spirit Pill is a kind of medicinal pill, eating it will cause the consumer to have a leap in cultivation within an hour. But after its effect is gone, it will hurt the meridians and Golden Core, and the cultivation level will also be destroyed, until the consumer's soul perishes. It is undoubtedly a suicide pill."
Wow, this is undoubtedly a stimulant, no wonder it's a prohibited drug.
"Hahahahaha …… with this ‘Wheel of Return', do I have to care about having the crazy pill?" Ji Han said with a creepy look, completely erasing the previous gentle temperament. It was as if he was high on drugs. No …… he is indeed high on drugs!
Ji Han stared at the box in his hand as if possessed, stroking it over and over again, "Wheel of Return, with this Wheel of Return, traveling the past and future is a piece of cake. What magic treasure can I not get with it? Hahahahahahaha ……"
He laughed wildly while impatiently lifting the lid of the box ……
So here comes the question: Can you tell me the height of the grass of your grave after five years?
"How can it be empty? You guys tricked me!" Ji Han fiercely glared at the three, as if he was a beast ready to devour anyone in sight.
"The box was originally empty, we didn't take it." Shi Xia spread her hands and shrugged. It is the truth. If you wanted the box, you should have said so. I could have brought it to you.
"Nonsense!" Ji Han obviously didn't believe her. Breaking the box in his hand with a salp, he summoned a million spirit swords and flung them towards the three, "Give me the ‘Wheel of Return'!"
Shi Xia subconsciously took a step back, watching the air filled with swords rushing towards them. She instantly pressed her chest, feeling difficulty in breathing, as if the blood in her chest was churning. This is completely different from the previous time, when Ji Han attacked them before entering the hall room. Now the whole hall room is overflowing with strong Qi, she simply couldn't resist the pressure.
She suddenly remembered that the Wild Spirit Pill can make the consumer leap in cultivation level. Ji Han was originally at Golden Pill Stage, now he is a …… Nascent Soul!
Long Aotian opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, Shi Xia took a step back, a fishy sweetness instantly surged up inside her throat.
"Xia Xia!" Zhen Bing was shocked. He quickly reached out to support her. A surge of Qi entered her body like a gentle breeze, erasing the pressure she felt earlier. Even the previous anxiety suddenly went away too.
Zhen Bing looked at Ji Han in the air, his expression as cold as ice. As if the hall room was instantly covered with a layer of thousand years of frost, he exclaimed in a cold voice, "You dare!"
Just as he finished speaking, the swords that were flying around them instantly turned to ashes. The entire hall room was covered with a layer of ice, freezing everything instantly.
"Poof ……" Ji Han splatted a mouthful of blood and fell from the air. His face showed disbelief. Before he could even react, all the Qi gathered around him dissipated, even his Dantian was shattered, "You …… How did ……"
Shi Xia also jumped in shock, looking at the layer of ice around. Isn't Zhen Bing a demonic fire fox, when did he learn how to use ice?
Before she got the time to ask, Long Aotian suddenly showed a frightened face pointed to the front, "benefactor, look there?!"
They looked where he pointed and saw the fragments of the box which was previously shattered by Ji Han, suddenly began to turn black. The pieces automatically flew up and began to rotate and polymerize in the air before taking shape.
In less than a moment, a star-like jade wall appeared in the air, half of it was black and the other half white. It was emitting two very different kinds of light. The light was extremely bizzare, one half side were glowing, it was bright and almost blinding. But the other half was as black as ink, as if it was going to suck everything in. In an instant, the whole wall grew large and covered almost half of the hall room, dividing the whole place into two different worlds; black and white.
"What is this ……?"
Zhen Bing frowned and looked at it with a heavy expression.
These two completely opposite lights didn't last long. A few seconds later, a resonating crack sounded, and the jade wall in the air began to crack ……
Shi Xia could feel her heart thumping and a sense of panic hovering in the air. She didn't know why, she began to feel as if something very bad was about to happen.
The cracking sound was getting louder and louder. The wall cracked just in the middle, as if something inside it was moving. Shi Xia looked at it in trepidation, holding her breath subconsciously.
"Void cracks!" Zhen Bing's expression turned cold.
"Void?" Shi Xia froze, the void that traveled through time and space? Wasn't that the entrance that could only be opened with the full power of a cultivator above God Transformation? Then why did it appear here?
Zhen Bing showed an unprecedented gravity before he began to form seals with both hands. He urgently pushed Shi Xia away and urged, "Xia Xia, get out of here, quick!"
"Huh?"
He had no time to explain, the black and white jade wall finally shattered completely, and a star-shaped gap appeared in the air. As if someone had torn a piece directly from the air, the space inside it was distorted. A black-and-white Qi rushed out from inside, spreading out wildly.
This is …… Chaos Qi!
The formation in Zhen Bing's hand, also formed at the same time. Three golden lights flashed, and three complex golden spell formations appeared around the gap and began to seal that gap while chasing the Chaos Qi running rampant.
But the formation could fully work, the ground began to shake. The formation began to twist and distort, looking like it was about to be broken by the black and white Qi inside.
So this body can't help me seal the crack with a few spell formations? A fishy sweetness came up, and a trace of blood spilled out of the corner of Zhen Bing's mouth.
"Zhen Bing!" Shi Xia was startled, what the hell is that? Even Zhen Bing couldn't seal it?
"Get out of here." Zhen Bing's tone became more and more urgent, "Hurry! Or else you will be sucked in the void in the middle of the void rift and never come back."
"What about you?" What would he do when they are gone?
"Me?" Zhen Bing froze, and suddenly the corners of his mouth lifted. His eyebrows narrowed into a line, as if he had heard something delightful. He obviously had a somewhat cold face, but his face instantly seemed to blossom, "Don't worry, I can seal this crack, I will be fine." She cares about him! So cute. (*▽▽*)
"Will you really be okay?" I can't understand these things, so don't lie to me.
"Mm." He looked straight into her eyes and nodded heavily.
