Demon King/The Parting of the Orchid and Cang

CH 84.1

The powers of Dong Fang Qing Cang did not have any usage on Little Orchid’s body for long because when Little Orchid left Wan Tian Zhi Xu, the body that Siming drew for her has began to slowly disappear. Naturally, the spell of Dong Fang Qing Cang also disappeared along with that body.

Little Orchid only felt entire body has gotten light. When eyes have opened, Dong Fang Qing Cang was standing on the clouds. She abruptly disappeared and caused him to not react in time.

Seeing Little Orchid’s soul become faintly discernible within the white clouds, the pupils of Dong Fang Qing Cang withdrawn.

The feeling of anxiousness from having no place to go has caused Little Orchid to subconsciously spread out hand toward him, “Big devil..” When the words have yet to finish, the wind surfaced. Little Orchid felt that she was being swept away by this wind.

The soul wobbled. When [she] did not know what to do, she suddenly was pulled back by a strong, warm force. Little Orchid clearly felt that she was being pulled forward by that strength.

The white clouds drifted in the front. She suddenly slammed against a chest.

But she could not halt the steps toward Dong Fang Qing Cang. The pulling force caused her to slowly mix with Dong Fang Qing Cang’s body.

The front darkened before one’s eyes. When [she] has woken up, Little Orchid felt the left side of the body was heavy while the right side was still light as a feather with no genuine feeling. Yet, general speaking, her standing felt stabilized by several parts. The wind cannot blow her away..hold on.

This feeling..

Little Orchid then attempted to move the left hand and felt her left hand rising up. She lowered head to look down. The fingers were slender and long. The fingernails were sharp. Little Orchid immediately became somewhat dumbfounded.

[She] looked at the smooth chest and dressed black clothes. In front of the chest there was silver hair that greeted the wind..

“I!” When spoke up, it was obviously the voice of Dong Fang Qing Cang!

Little Orchid startled herself, “Dong Fang Qing Cang! How come you are using the same body with me again?!”

The body’s right side moved and pulled the silver hair on the shoulders to the back, “Oh? How come has to use the word “again”?” Little Orchid suddenly became silent. She sensed the pair of eyes was not in her control as they faintly narrowed, “Little flower demon, didn’t you remembered nothing, en?”

The five fingers of Little Orchid tightened and then loosened. After that, tightened again. Then, [she] gritted her teeth as [she] said, “Can’t you tell from a while ago..” Currently, she understood Dong Fang Qing Cang no less than he understood her, “I am doing this, aren’t you also silently admitting?” Little Orchid said, “Return me home, I want to stay by master’s side.”

“Won’t return.” The two words of Dong Fang Qing Cang were stiff, but extremely unwavering.

Little Orchid grew angry and said, “I have to be by master’s side! This time I will not follow you anymore. Do not attempt to play with my heart in the palm of your hand anymore! I won’t be fooled, and also don’t want you to make me into medicine anymore.” Her voice slightly lowered, “Only master will not harm me.”

“Ben zuo..also will not harm you.”

The voice of Dong Fang Qing Cang spoke in gloomy tone that resembles a promise. Little Orchid stared blankly and became silent.

He then said, “Currently, unable to turn you into medicine anymore. Soul reconstruct yet cannot restore the original state of yours and was merely in became a normal soul with some difficulty.”

“Then you resurrect me for what?”

The words Little Orchid blurted out caused Dong Fang Qing Cang to become silent for quite a while until when she thought that he would not respond she then heard Dong Fang Qing Cang said, “Due to feelings (love) as it should be.”

Little Orchid was stupefied and momentarily became dazed. Within that moment, she thought that her ears have a problem. If she still had a body, will definitely pat on Dong Fang Qing Cang’s face and tell him to wake up. After being bewildered for a while and did not expect for Dong Fang Qing Cang to continue speaking, Little Orchid unexpectedly have pondered about something and immediately turned solemn as she bit her lips while saying, “You’re tricking me.”

“Believe or not, it’s up to you. In short, you have to be by ben zuo’s side.”

Little Orchid was extremely helpless, “How come you keep on giving difficulties to me?!”

“Ben zuo has already said—it’s love.”

What..

When she was still distracted, Dong Fang Qing Cang turned body around and transformed into a ray of light that flew through the clouds. Little Orchid anxiously asked, “In the end, what are you wanting to do?”

“Finding you a body.”

Finding her a body—this was a matter that she previously has begged for him to do, but right now he is willingly helping her..

Little Orchid was dazed as she stood inside the body of Dong Fang Qing Cang and controlled the left of his body, but did not do anything. He has allowed half of his body to be disabled as it is when he burst into the demon realm’s boundary and caused the guards there to become stunned. In front of the bewitched and mad gaze from the people of the demon realm, he shuffled his legs and stepped inside the boundary with rushing powerful energies.

It was more than ten years ago that demon realm became chaotic due to Dong Fang Qing Cang and the demon realm then restored its order. At the end of the large path and in the middle of demon capital Jiu You, a large and tall palace was built.

Kong Que and Shang Que heard the news and brought forth the demon soldiers to obstruct the path of Dong Fang Qing Cang.

Kong Que has an alluring body figure, but at this time, facial color was a little unsightly, “Dong Fang Qing Cang.” He gritted his teeth as he shouted the name out.

The facial color of prime minister Shang Que on the side was also heavy, but still can control emotions. He asked in a low voice, “Has separated for several years. Does not know today demon king has returned to demon realm for what matter?”

Dong Fang Qing Cang raised his brows, “Ben zuo should not come to demon realm?” When the last word was spoken out, his voice became slightly low, challenging and imposing. He was somewhat unhappy, “This bunch of younger generation that are not even worth ancient treasures.” Finished speaking, his imposing intimidation permeated outward.

One by one, the demon soldiers all knelt down. Even Shang Que also knelt down and almost prostrated on the ground. The facial expressions of Kong Que and Shang Que were extremely unsightly. Each time [they] looked straight at Dong Fang Qing Cang, the pupils in the pair of blood-red eyes were like hooks that squeezed into their hearts. After that, hooked out their fears from their hearts. Shang Que’s knees were bent to the floor.

Kong Que gritted teeth in order to endure. Dong Fang Qing Cang curved his lips and sneered. Such sneer was filled with mockery. He brought his right hand up and the five fingers withdrew. Kong Que was suspended in the atmosphere. He grabbed Kong Que’s neck and his facial expression was filled with hostile energies.

“Almost has forgotten the matters of you scheming against ben zuo.”

The palm of Dong Fang Qing Cang spread out black energies that eroded into the neck of Kong Que.

His [Kong Que] eyes widened and feet thrashed in the atmosphere.

Shang Que was alarmed and immediately begged on repeat, “Please release military counselor your greatness*.”

*Your honor works too, but does not really fit the setting. -ChocolateCosmos

Dong Fang Qing Cang has never paid any attention. The demonic energies in the hand that overflowed outward have increased and crawled every place on Kong Que’s face, causing his face to become grisly.

The left eye suddenly closed. He suddenly became consciously aware that Little Orchid was also seeing such matters. He immediately furrowed his brows and subsequently tossed Kong Que away and let him breathed in remaining huffs.

“Today, I don’t want to dirty unexpectedly the hand. Can be considered that you’re lucky.” Dong Fang Qing Cang flapped the sleeve and spoke in a tall voice, “Regardless of when, regardless of where, when ben zuo has appeared, people only need to remember one thing.” His voice was indifferent, “Subservient.”

He stepped one step. Little Orchid deliberately did not move the left leg. Dong Fang Qing Cang’s hip was motionless and limped his leg. His shadow on the ground also followed such [action] and became comical. Even if [one was] kneeling down, but there still can be people of the demon realm who saw.

No one uttered a word.

Dong Fang Qing Cang did not change facial color as he brought forth task, “Ben zuo came here to find one person. Immediately focus forces of demon realm to find the owner of the demon market and a female besides him. When found, then at that time ben zuo will leave. Before that, this place will be the temporary resting palace for ben zuo.”

Finished speaking, he did not stay there for long. With one blink of an eye, has already come to the highest residential place of the palace.

When Dong Fang Qing Cang left, the pressure lessened. The surrounding soldiers stood up and whispered. Shang Que supported Kong Que up. Kong Que hated to the point of gritting teeth. Resurrecting demon king and hoping that the demon king will revive the demon realm was the most laughable decision of his!

That isn’t a demon god of any sort, clearly is a pestilence demon!

After finally arriving at the palace, Little Orchid said, “Big devil, the people at the demon realm thought you have an illness..”

“Ignore them. Ever since meeting you, ben zuo has never been normal in their eyes.” Dong Fang Qing Cang halted steps, “Walk properly.”

Little Orchid muttered several more words, but still listened to him. She cooperated with him as [they] stepped into the palace.

When it’s nighttime, Little Orchid could not sleep. She opened her left eye. Dong Fang Qing Cang also opened his right eye along with her. The two people did not speak up and continued to be silent forever within the quiet darkness.

Such feeling was really strangely wonderful. Little Orchid pondered—clearly is the same body, but still does not know Dong Fang Qing Cang’s “way of thinking”. Such abstract concept like “thoughts” was perhaps the most secretive part inside the body of every person. Does not need to mention the rest as even oneself perhaps cannot look completely..

Little Orchid felt that at present, it seemed she cannot see clearly the thoughts, feelings, and way of thinking of Dong Fang Qing Cang, but there was one matter that she was clear about—she does not believe him.

Perhaps has to say..

She does not want to believe him.

Therefore, Dong Fang Qing Cang treating her well due to love is fine and wanting to help her find a body is also fine. Little Orchid was still racking brain to reflect. He helped her do these matters to make her do what? What does she have that can give to him..

It was a night of stillness. When the outside of the window began to have a few rays of sunlight, Little Orchid then noticed that it’s dawn. Whereas she and Dong Fang Qing Cang..continue to lie with opened eyes like so until it was daylight without speaking..

“Big devil.”

“En.”

“..It’s not important, the entire night you didn’t sleep ah.”

“Waiting for you to speak up.”

The heart of Little Orchid subconsciously moved. She suppressed the feelings and said, “I do not have anything to say..The sky is getting bright quickly, I will sleep.”

Dong Fang Qing Cang was silent. When Little Orchid thought he was not going to speak, he then spoke up, “Little flower demon, didn’t you say that ben zuo was quite awful, but you still love?”

Correct ah, she has said [that] before.

“Big devil.” Little Orchid said in a soft voice, “I have died once before.” She paused, “Dying once, and there feelings will change.”

Therefore..don’t love anymore.

The right hand of Dong Fang Qing Cang subconsciously tightened into a fist and then quietly released.

With Dong Fang Qing Cang at the demon realm, Kong Que and Shang Que did not sleep soundly and clearly [their] strengths suffered. The two people can only hurry without any better option like pestilence god and urged their subordinates to exert efforts in finding the whereabouts of the owner of the demon market.

Half a month later and there were finally news.

“Flower meadow?” The fingers of Dong Fang Qing Cang tapped on the royal throne armrest, “The place that Chi Lin took refuge ten years ago?”

The general who came to report then nodded to affirm.

Dong Fang Qing Cang pondered for a while, “Aside from the owner of the demon market, was able to probe any information about the female besides him?”

“This..there was no female with the owner of the demon market at all.”

The corner of Dong Fang Qing Cang’s lips shifted into a treacherous curve, “Already hid..” He muttered, “Previously, have allowed you to steal person from ben zuo’s hand. This time ben zuo will destroy your entire world.”

Not notifying anyone, Dong Fang Qing Cang was like before when entering the demon realm—just once silhouette has disappeared. Yet, when the general lifted head, [he] saw the pastries provided on the left side on throne missing two pieces.

The powerful motion of Dong Fang Qing Cang was extremely fast as [he] has left the demon realm to arrive at the flower meadow within a moment’s time.

But when [she] arrived at the flower meadow, Little Orchid peered at the scenery’s colors and suddenly felt the atmosphere was smothering. This scenery looked exactly like illusory scenery of the owner of the demon market previously. She was confined here then died there. Naturally, does not have a good impression of this place.

Sensing that Little Orchid was tense, Dong Fang Qing Cang suddenly said, “No one can harm you.”

Correct ah, this time no one can harm her. She’s currently in the body of Dong Fang Qing Cang. He is the most powerful, big, and unbridled devil in the world. Thus, his desire to guard this life makes this the safest place in this world.

The grass and flowers still carried a fragrance. Yet, prior to this in xi rang body was that this time in the body of Dong Fang Qing Cang, Little Orchid can clearly smell the fragrance of spell formation in the atmosphere. She can also see the boundary and even can see the eye of the spell formation clearly.

Dong Fang Qing Cang’s body really is extremely powerful.

Dong Fang Qing Cang’s eyes narrowed and he went directly to the eye of the formation.

On the flower meadow there was also a simple and little courtyard. It was no different from the illusory scenery of the owner of the demon market. If there were one difference, it was that previously the eye of the formation was right inside the house. Currently, the owner of the demon market hid the eye of the formation deeply under the ground.

Dong Fang Qing Cang’s blood red pupils performed magic. With ten zhang* deep underground, he can still clearly see. The cave’s structure was tangled and complicated. The entire cave was covered in cave mountain tunnels of mechanisms (traps). Furthermore, there were several stone rooms that covered the eyes, but Dong Fang Qing Cang saw through all these camouflages soon. Then, he found what he wanted to find.

* One zhang is around 3.3 meters – Chocolatecosmos

At the end of hidden stone floor, there was one person sitting.

Dong Fang Qing Cang closed eyes and consciousness explored underneath. After that, he immediately laughed, “Little flower demon, do you still not know the capability of ben zuo?”

Little Orchid knows.

When he only relied on the powers of the spell formation to destroy Hao Tian tower, when he raised his hand and caused eighty thousands cavalries to disappear, when he quietly sunk Qian Yin mountain—Little Orchid always knew he was strong. But at this time, even if [she was] foolishly in the body of Dong Fang Qing Cang , Little Orchid was a bit scared.

She swallowed saliva, “You want to do what?”

Dong Fang Qing Cang chuckled, “Thanks to the owner of the demon market’s fortune, ben zuo currently feels quite sullen.” When he finished speaking, his hand has congregated flames that transformed into a fiery sword, “Stealing the results of ben zuo, such puny being definitely has been happy for too long.” The voice of Dong Fang Qing Cang grew even more dangerous and he said, “Ben zuo will make him lose everything soon.”

Dong Fang Qing Cang was a person who returns good with evil.

The fiery sword congregated powers like the Opening Heaven Hammer of Pangu*. One sword sliced downward into the ground in beheading motion and whooshed strongly. The grass and flowers on the side were immediately burnt to ashes with the magic washing off and leaking outward. It was not just the grass and flowers, as the sands and rocks flew everywhere. An opening arose from the gaps under the ground and grew. Each time would get deeper and larger. It went straight down under like water dividing technique through slicing the ground into two halves.
