Demon King/The Parting of the Orchid and Cang

CH 58.1

When Little Orchid fell into the predicament of not knowing who to trust with no solution, the demon realm has welcome a traditional festival. It was the day of holy, the day where demon king was born in the legends.

On this day, the people of the demon tribe would honor the ancestor and worship the statue of the demon king and narrated the troubles that one has caused over the year for the heavenly realm which created many blessings for the people of the demon tribe. It was like the day where the new year has begun in the mortal realm.

Annually, this day was used to honor/offer sacrifice to the demon king, but currently, due to the existence of Dong Fang Qing Cang, everything has to be restrained.

Dong Fang Qing Cang has built his own palace on the debris of the old sacrificial hall. On the outside the palace still exuded black, biting cold hostile energy with no change whatsoever even for a festival. Only needed just the black plaque in front of the palace that still hung Kong Que to cause the people of demon realm to follow the customs and kowtowed in fear then leave.? ? ??A Chocolatecosmostranslations

Even though the vestige of Dong Fang Qing Cang and beauty Kong battle on the path in front of the palace from before has been restored, but the people on the two sides of the main stress was naturally still afraid.

Did not see any celebratory energy welcoming the festivity in front of the houses. After all, the people that can live on the two sides of the street were a few that has a relation with the demon realm imperial court. Dong Fang Qing Cang has settled both prime minister and military counselor. Someone was being hung on the stone plaque in front of the palace while someone else has never went outside from start to finish.

Whereas Dong Fang Qing Cang merely cared about his own matters and does not bother about the mundane matters of the demon realm. The entire main hall sank into paralysis. No one in the demon capital city has the mood to congratulate the day “demon king was born” anymore.

Little Orchid peered at the painted pitch-black sky of the demon capital city. Her heart felt that the people of demon realm in present probably wished that they could stuff Dong Fang Qing Cang back into the stomach of [his] mother.

But it’s a pity that Dong Fang Qing Cang was born by the sky-earth and raised by the sky-earth. Even his mother was someone that no one knew, perhaps even he [doesn’t know]...

It’s not easy for him to die first time, but was saved by the people of the demon realm..

Inside the palace, it was extremely silent. Or rather [one] has to say that it was always deathly silent like usual. At night, Little Orchid wore bathing robes after she finished washing up. At this time, the hair was wet and it was not easy to sleep. She felt that recently she has become really repressed with her emotions. The head did not have any single moment where she didn’t think about her own fate. Temporarily, [she] has the urge to go outside the palace.

On the steps up to the door, Da Yu was curling besides the door and sleeping. He saw Little Orchid pushed the door out and lifted its head. He looked at her with confusion and appeared as if asking her what she wants she is doing.

Little Orchid told Da Yu to place its head on the ground and then she stepped on its face to climb onto its head, “Da Yu, can you fly me up high to catch the breeze?”

Even though Da Yu felt that this sentence was very strange, but it did not refuse Little Orchid and its snake body flew upward, carrying Little Orchid above the palace.

Standing up high, Little Orchid brought her gaze afar. During that, she saw in several small surrounding towns there were still people who were celebrating the festival. From afar, one by one the fireworks bloomed. Even though her place was far to the point that [one] cannot hear sounds, but can still see the glittering rays of light there.

The breeze blew each strand of her wet hair. Little Orchid crawled onto Da Yu’s back and used the two hands to support the head up while muttering, “Really beautiful.”

“Such a mediocre game like this is pleasing to the eyes?”

Hearing such voice, Little Orchid became dazed and turned around to look. She saw Dong Fang Qing Cang standing unexpectedly on the tail of Da Yu since who knows when.

Little Orchid hurriedly sat upward and pulled on her clothes as she was lying down in a crawling position and so it was a bit rumpled. After that she smoothed out her wet hair as meeting Dong Fang Qing Cang in the atmosphere with such wet hair has caused her to feel a little shy..

She shot a glance at him and then peered afar while muttering, “If such game is not pleasing to the eyes then how come [one] is standing high up here for what?”

“Ben zuo wants to know what type of game you are playing.”

Little Orchid was dazed and then pouted, “Under your gaze, what game can I play. You are daren demon king, you’re difficult to deal with, it is you who are playing a game for me to see ah.”

Although these words are ridiculing, but Dong Fang Qing Cang heard such and was not angry. On the contrary, his lips curved, “Then play for you to see then.”

Finished speaking, within his hands flared up a flame that charged straight toward the horizon. It exploded in the atmosphere like the fireworks from afar, except it was different than the fireworks fading within a moment as the flame dispel the clouds across the sky. After that, gathered the various lights in the sky to transform into a figure of two dragons!

The two huge, fiery dragons were vibrant, lifelike like real ones and chase one another in the atmosphere while roaring out flames. The sounds were like the roars from the legends of the past.

Little Orchid peered at the night sky attentively and mouth gaped while forgetting to close. She peered to the point of one’s soul leaving the body.*

* Figure of speech; her soul isn’t really leaving the body. Rather she’s so surprised and it appeared like her soul was leaving the body. –Chocolatecosmos

Dong Fang Qing Cang peered at her. Her face was painted by the light of the flames. He suddenly thought of the moment when he has woken up inside the void of darkness. He thought that he would have wandered in such scenery for an endless time, but at that time, he saw this little flower demon. The face was steadfast and she hugged him while still waiting besides him as she said, “I will be here with you.”

The pupils of Dong Fang Qing Cang’s eyes slightly moved.

He snapped his fingers and the two dragons merged unexpectedly together. Within the blink of an eye, has transformed into a phoenix and made one long cry sound. The phoenix flew up high and took a pearl of flame in the atmosphere while turning around. Within the blink of an eye, it flew in front of Little Orchid, but its figure turned smaller. When it landed in front of her, it has already become smaller like an ordinary pigeon. It placed the fiery pearl in the palms of her hands. After that, it transformed into flames that disappeared in the wind. While the fiery pearl in the palms of Little Orchid also quickly transformed into a budding orchid. From a flowering bud into a blooming flower, it also turned into dust at the end, whoosh whoosh as it dissipated in the sky.

The night sky returned to its quietness as if nothing has occurred before.
