The Lin* armor has reappeared. Shuo Feng sword’s frozen energy was assiduous. This was originally the scene that Dong Fang Qing Cang wanted to see.
*磷lín: phosphorus. The most common, nontoxic and odorless phosphorus is red phosphorus. I am assuming the author is referring to how it’s a red armor. Feel free to comment below if you prefer me to call this phosphorus armor (lol) or red armor – Chocolatecosmos
However, the person in front right now was not the person of that year, so his heart had no feeling of sighing with sorrow when meeting an enemy. He merely narrowed his eyes and peered at Little Orchid attentively while his voice was strange, “Little flower demon, right now you are pointing a sword at ben zuo?”
Within the gushing hostile energy, the tip of Little Orchid’s sword slightly shook.
But with Chi Lin armor, it quickly transmitted a strong force to support her wrist, causing Little Orchid to feel that she was strong. She forced herself to calm down and said, “Big devil, you knew about my original body?”
Dong Fang Qing Cang heard and pupils slightly moved, but he did not speak.
“I am an ancient orchid plant, I have the purpose of restoring the soul. You have known about it.”
Dong Fang Qing Cang was still silent, but Little Orchid saw clearly the undulation on his face. She knew, he’s silent not because of some other reasons, but due to admitting [it].
Little Orchid saw such and felt even more disappointed and discouraged, “Big devil, you always want to keep me inside this body not because of protecting me, not because of finding it unbearable to let me go, also was not because of pitying that I have turned into a lonely soul wandering all over the place. You want me to make this body turn lively/nimble. Is that not right?” The Chi Lin armor supported her wrist and caused the Shuo Feng sword in her hands to point in the direction of Dong Fang Qing Cang.
“You bought the bone orchid for him not because [you] were scared that there would be someone who would harm me at the demon realm, but that you have placed the soul of Chi De woman inside the bone orchid and wanted to borrow my energy to repair Chi De woman’s soul.”
Dong Fang Qing Cang did not speak.
Little Orchid breathed in a deep breath. In truth, before speaking directly with Dong Fang Qing Cang about these matters, in her heart she still hoped shamefully that Chi De woman was deceiving her, but currently, his silence was like a fateful slap. It popped and shattered completely any last hope in her heart.
Chi De woman did not deceive her. From before to now, the person who tricked her was Dong Fang Qing Cang.
From this time to another time, has never stopped to rest.
Little Orchid lowered her eyes and voice was weaker than before by a lot, “If I stayed forever in this body foolishly, this body will become lively and the soul of Chi De woman will get stronger by the days, but in the end, I will disappear in the xi rang and turn into a life fragment in this body, this matter… you also knew right?”
She was narrating, but in the end, tone cannot be compressed and so weakened, and was heard as if [she] was asking Dong Fang Qing Cang.
After waiting for a while and still did not hear his reply, Little Orchid’s hand that held Shuo Feng sword tightened.
He wants to kill her. After experiencing so many things, because of his long-cherished desire, he still wants to kill her heartlessly.
“You are…” Her voice paused. When [she] lifted head to peer at Dong Fang Qing Cang, there was raging flames that surfaced within the eyes, “A bastard!” Her two hands held onto the hilt of the sword and stepped toward his direction.
Lifting the Shuo Feng sword over the head, Little Orchid used all of her strength to slice down. Dong Fang Qing Cang did not block, but when the Shuo Feng sword almost went downward toward the top of his head, “dong” a boundary suddenly appeared.
The freezing energy of Shuo Feng sword contacted the fiery boundary. The place the tip of the sword collided with the boundary would turned into flames at times and others would turn into ice crystals; blue and red interfered and turned into complex colors that glistened in Little Orchid’s eyes.
Little Orchid gritted her teeth. Passing through the rays of light, [she] was angrily glowering at Dong Fang Qing Cang. He also peered at her silently. He cannot explain, and cannot oppose as what she has said was not wrong—he has planned it out that way.
Although he does not know whether planning it out like this was good or bad in the end. But in order to reach the goal, this way was the fastest and the most effective. Dong Fang Qing Cang followed his instincts and doing so was a natural way. Previously, he has never thought that if there was a day where Little Orchid knew the truth, after she asked him these things, after she exposed the selfish plan and attempts of his in front of him, he unexpectedly…did not know how to respond.
Conscience and morals, where are those?
In the ancient times, Dong Fang Qing Cang conveniently tossed many insipid things that bound the mortals. He was the demon king—his credo was that the strong one will become king and order was placed by the strong. Those that were puny will naturally be grasped and squeezed like a toy. Cannot blame anyone; can only blame that the person being played was not strong enough.
But “principles of living” that he has followed up to now suddenly shook slightly when hearing Little Orchid weakly exposed…He felt that those insipid conscience and morals that bound the mortals like were like a rope that tied his hand and caused him wavering, and even…felt guilty.
Peering out from the boundary, Little Orchid was angry, and so Dong Fang Qing Cang slightly shifted his eyes away.
At the same time, he lightly raised hand and the powers spread out. The force was gentler by quite a lot compared with the times when he killed the demonic creature congregated from the outside, “Want to live peacefully for the remaining days then be obedient for ben zuo.”
He said such words and thought that the strength on his hands was enough to push Little Orchid out, but currently, Little Orchid was wearing the Chi Lin armor. She received the powers of Dong Fang Qing Cang, yet did not falter. She gritted her teeth as she sliced down on his boundary as if seeking out revenge.
Dong Fang Qing Cang was somewhat distracted faintly and in heart, was subconsciously resentful with his authority being challenged. Perhaps he was unsettled, guilty with Little Orchid, but he was still the strong ancient demon king who always did not allow anyone to resist.
He raised his hands and the demonic strength spread out more strongly than before. Its strength exploded and pushed Little Orchid to stagger. The Shuo Feng sword withdrew and Little Orchid raised her head up and almost collapses down, but the armor transformed into boots, letting her steps stabilize.
“Do not challenge the patience of ben zuo.” Dong Fang Qing Cang said, “Let go of Shuo Feng sword.”
As if Little Orchid would agree to let go of Shuo Feng sword. Dong Fang Qing Cang narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. A force hit strongly on the wrist of Little Orchid. Even if there was the Chi Lin armor to protect, but she still felt the pain to the bones and her hand shook. The five fingers lost strength and almost toss Shuo Feng sword to the ground.
Little Orchid hugged the wrist and peered at Dong Fang Qing Cang while in the eyes were anger, frustration, and discontentment. Dong Fang Qing Cang peered at her and then looked at the Shuo Feng sword, “Be obedient, and do not let ben zuo say this for the third time.”
“Obediently wait for death?”
Little Orchid already cannot say what she was feeling. Clearly did not take action, but her breathing still have the feeling of being affected and such feelings rused forward, “Dong Fang Qing Cang.” She called his name word by word, “You do not know there’s a saying that rabbits when pressured will still bite?”
She switched the hand that held Shuo Feng sword while the injured hand was used for support as she lifted the sword to her neck while she glared at him, “Let me go, or else that desire of yours will die along with my life.”
Dong Fang Qing Cang furrowed his brows, “Cannot fight so begin to throw a tantrum?”
Little Orchid did not respond.
He laughed coldly, “Ben zuo will listen to your threat?”
Little Orchid did not bother to speak and was determined to really have Shuo Feng sword slash her neck. The fresh blood flowed out from her pale neck and flowed down to her lapel and splashed on her shoulders.
Little Orchid was in pain to the point of face paling. The wound that Shuo Feng sword created was not merely a simple wound as there was the frozen energy that rushed inside the blood, permeated the body and caused the blackening of the lips. The entire body began to tremble and only the eyes still gazed at Dong Fang Qing Cang and the voice was like a small animal that does not give up, “So let this be.”
Little Orchid thought that she rather died by her own hand than die by Dong Fang Qing Cang’s hand. She rather ruined this body than allow him to ruin the body. If right now he does not let her have an easy time, then both sides should not live peacefully.
When she died, if the soul is fortunate to fly to the underworld and enter the reincarnation cycle, then this life will not see master anymore. If unfortunate, then the soul will turn to ash and scatter…
Then that’s just that.
Thinking back and forth, dying now is easier and simpler than living by a lot. She used strength on her hand and the edge of the sword slashed her neck deeper, causing the fresh blood to flow out more and appeared to dye half of her body.
Dong Fang Qing Cang saw the blood of Little Orchid and was temporarily frozen. This little flower demon from before has been scared of death and pain and was extremely inferior… yet dared to hold the sword and really slice one’s neck…
Seeing the blood at her neck continued to flow more and more, her body was also tilting and appeared to be falling as if it could not withstand anymore.
At this time, Dong Fang Qing Cang suddenly returned [to reality] and pupils narrowed while body moved.
Dong Fang Qing Cang wanted to steal Shuo Feng sword from Little Orchid’s hand, but when coming closer, Little Orchid suddenly drew out Shuo Feng sword and the edge of the sword mixed with her blood stabbed strongly toward the front, piercing firmly into Dong Fang Qing Cang’s heart.
The frozen energy of Shuo Feng sword combined. Within the days and months that were endless, in the deep memories of Dong Fang Qing Cang, there was a scene that was followed by pain that the injury brought forth, slowly appearing…
The scenery of his heart being pierced by this sword that Chi De woman used appeared. It seemed to have overlapped with the current scenery inside the head; yet, the person in front changed appearance.
It was not the majestic, ostentatious God of War in front, but it was a puny, weak female in front of him that he has disparaged a lot. Yet, due to fate’s teasing, she was protected by him from time to the next one.
Dong Fang Qing Cang peered at Little Orchid and saw the surprise in her eyes and did not dare to believe face of hers. At this time, he shifted his gaze and peered at Little Orchid’s arm that held Shuo Feng sword. It was tightened with several rattan vines and the rattan vines even wrapped her fingers very tightly. He shifted his eyes and saw that Little Orchid’s neck was still bleeding. The blood flowed into her lapel while the rattan vines also sprouted from the lapel.
It…was the blood of Little Orchid that has nourished the soul of Chi De woman inside the bone orchid or so…
Thus…that female used this sword to pierce the same spot on his body.
But does not know why, this time the hatred and discontentment in his heart were not billowing like before. He peered at the alarmed face of Little Orchid and looked at the pair of black eyes and pale face of hers…
He knew, if he didn’t inadvertently, relying on the current Chi De woman, even if several bone orchids were controlled, would not caused him to sustain that much damage.
It was he inadvertently, seeing the body with blood flowing endlessly. It was he who couldn’t resistant to inadvertently.
He, towards that little flower demon…
Dong Fang Qing Cang extended hand to squeeze Little Orchid’s neck.
At this time, the body of Little Orchid has lost so much blood and when pushed, it has already fallen immediately.
She was pressed strongly by Dong Fang Qing Cang and wanted to toss Shuo Feng sword, but could not withdraw. She saw the blood from his chest flowed along the edge of the sword then to the sword hilt and then dyed her hand red.
Dong Fang Qing Cang squeezed her neck and within the pair of red eyes bore herself being fearful. Little Orchid opened her mouth, but could not say anything. She thought he wanted to kill her.
But in the end, the hand of Dong Fang Qing Cang did not tighten and his body tilted to the side and fell to the ground.
Little Orchid held onto the Shuo Feng sword and pulled the sword toward the back. When the sword left Dong Fang Qing Cang’s chest, it produced a swish sound. The sound was sharp as if it could cut Little Orchid’s skin. It caused her to become unable to refrain from crying out in alarm.
After withdrawing the Shuo Feng sword, the chest of Dong Fang Qing Cang slowly became frozen and his breathing halted as it congregated into white mist in the atmosphere. The lashes also slowly turned into frost.
Little Orchid opened her mouth, but inside the head rang the voice of Chi De woman, “Little Orchid, go.”
Little Orchid was motionless.
Chi De woman anxiously said, “Has not injured the center (vascular area) of the ancient demon king. With the strength of the demon king, only need to replenish one night and will awake. Why won’t you take this opportunity to run?”
She should take this opportunity to run…
At this time, the ground suddenly shook or rather it was not the ground that trembled as it was the palace congregated from the powers of Dong Fang Qing Cang that began to shake. With no powers of Dong Fang Qing Cang to support, this palace originally would not exist.
The trembles grew larger and within only a few moments, the entire palace will completely collapse and fall apart!
The body of Dong Fang Qing Cang lied on an unsteady pile of stones. These stones were from the sacrificial hall of the demon realm that Dong Fang Qing Cang has destroyed before. Dong Fang Qing Cang lied on top and was paralyzed like this pile of inanimate stones.
Little Orchid was thrown down to the side, but she was protected by the armor and thus did not get injured.
Chi De woman called her. The voice was like a reason that remained in her head and was speaking with her, “Little Orchid, you have to leave Dong Fang Qing Cang, and you also have to leave this body. He is not someone who is good to you. Also is not someone worthy of you being attached to.”
Correct, until just now, Dong Fang Qing Cang still told her to obediently stay, waiting until she turn into a strand of life that mixed into the body. He wants to harm her.
He is not someone appropriate, how to send away the heart?
Little Orchid gritted her teeth and used both hands and feet to crawl up and leave the debris. Currently, the palace of Dong Fang Qing Cang was exactly like the other places of the demon realm.
Ragged and dreary, dilapidated and ruined.
Da Yu hovered in the sky and saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly landed. It saw that Dong Fang Qing Cang was lying on the pile of dilapidated stones and immediately used body to wrap around him. After turning around, it saw that Little Orchid on the side was crawling down from the debris and ran toward the boundary of the demon realm. It was worried and hissed out loud.
But Little Orchid did not glance at it.
She ran incessantly toward the boundary within the screams of Da Yu.
She was afraid that she would halt her steps and heart will softened for Dong Fang Qing Cang. She was afraid she would worry that Dong Fang Qing Cang will be attack by the demon realm people and footsteps would not be able to move. She was scared that she would really lower herself, and willingly…endure death due to Dong Fang Qing Cang’s desire.
