Chapter 7: 7. Mo Xiaodan

Mo Xiaodan's blood ran cold. She suddenly sensed his strong spiritual power.

This is bad. He must be a cultivator. There's no way an ordinary mortal could have this kind of spiritual power fluctuations. He must've cultivated his Golden Core.

Do I acknowledge my being a demon? Or do I lie and pretend I'm mortal? Would he see right through me though?

"Uh-"

"Your essence is heavy, which means that your spiritual power is substantial. Whoever you are... you must be a very powerful being."

She lowered her head. "I love my home. It's a wonderful place, full of laughter and joy."

Ren Song stepped back. "Then why don't you go back?"

"I don't know how to. There was a gateway that sent me here, but it was only a one-way journey. Now, I'm just like all of the others that are stuck here. We can't go home."

"Surely there's got to be a way."

"Only the Demon Lord or Demon King can open the gateway back to the Demon Realm. And from what another demon told me, that return has been sealed off for almost eighteen years."

"Hmm. Come with me."

Her head shot up. "You aren't going to kill me?"

"For now, I have no reason to. I don't like unnecessary killings."

Relieved, Mo Xiaodan followed him around Nanjing. When he finally slowed, they came upon a stately, but small, residence. Ren Song flew up and over the wall. She wasn't far behind him. He led her around to the back where they entered a room.

"Sit. I think we should have a good talk."

Obeying, she sat down at the square table. He remained standing behind the chair opposite her, forcing her to look up at him. His previously carefree personality was gone, replaced by a serious look in his eye.

"What clan are you from?"

Mo Xiaodan swallowed. "I'm from the Mogui clan."

Ren Song gaped at her. "You must be joking."

Sadness filled her eyes as she shook her head. His eyes widened.

Then, he extended his hand, and she felt his warm power envelope her. But then, the soothing warmth turned to a scorching heart.

"AHH!" she screamed.

Using his spiritual powers, he forced her to her true form. Her skin turned pure white; her eyes red. A glossy gleam settled over her hair. Her beauty had increased tenfold.

Ren Song stared at her, hand dropping back to his side. The burning feeling faded, and she turned away from him.

"I am Mo Xiaodan, Crown Princess of the Demon Realm, daughter of Mo Leiming, the Demon King of the Demon Realm, and heir to the throne."

"When do you take over for your father?"

She answered quietly, "When I turn eighteen."

"And that's in?"

Lowering her head, she closed her eyes. "Five months."

He drew a sharp intake of breath. "Then it seems the Demon Realm is destined for change."

"That's if I can get home. Only my Royal Father or Lord Qin can open the gateway back."

"Can't you?"

She shook her head. "I don't know how. Plus, most of my powers are restricted here because I'm not yet Demon Queen."

"What powers?"

Slowly, Mo Xiaodan raised her head to look Ren Song in the eye. "I cultivated the qi of the Red Sun. But until I take my place on the throne, I cannot use it outside of the Demon Realm."

"Why did you come to the Mortal Realm?"

"There was a gateway overgrown with weeds in a side alley in Sihesheng. I activated it using my spiritual powers. I didn't know it'd bring me here, or that I couldn't go back through."

"Do you have any ill-intentions towards mortals?"

She quickly shook her head. "Not at all! Not every demon is inherent evil. Please, Brother Song, everything I'm telling you is the truth."

Ren Song sighed and clasped his hands behind his back. He titled his head back, looking up at the ceiling.

"As a cultivator, I should act for the good of the Mortal Realm and kill you. That way, I'd also end the Demon Royal Family's line. But without your family, the Demon Realm's Red Sun would disappear. If that disappears, so too will the Demon Realm. It would wreak havoc across the Three Realms," he began. "But you also don't seem to have any ill-will and haven't committed any sins here. Because of that... I should spare you."

Mo Xiaodan dropped to her knees, tears in her eyes. "Please, Brother Song, I promise I won't hurt any mortals. I- I'll even help you and Gongsun Li catch wayward demons. If I cannot handle a few of my lawless subjects here, then how am I to do so back home?"

Ren Song's head suddenly snapped down. "What did you just say? Gongsun Li?"

She nodded. "He saved me from a ladies' house. A Black Tiger demon just killed his whole family and burned the Magistrate's residence to the ground. He's staying with the Nie family now."

"Did you have anything to do with that Black Tiger?"

She admitted, "All I did was charm him so he didn't remember meeting me. He had smelled my demon blood when I entered the residence. He came to confront me. I swear, I had no hand in killing the Gongsun family!"

"Can I believe you, Your Highness?"

Mo Xiaodan flinched. "As a human, you should have no reason to. But I'm asking you to. My words are the truth. I wouldn't dare lie."

"I hope not." He sighed. "Alright, I'll believe you this once."

She kowtowed. "Thank you, Brother Song. Please don't tell Gongsun Li who I am. I'm afraid he'll kill me on the spot if he finds out."

"For now, I won't."

He stepped forward and helped her to stand. "This is my residence. Since you most likely don't have anything, you can just stay here."

She shook her head. "I couldn't impose."

"Then where else would you go?"

When she couldn't come up with a response, he headed for the doors.

As he reached up and slid them open, Ren Song added, "I would suggest that you figure out how to return to the Demon Realm as soon as possible, Your Highness."
