Demon King/The Parting of the Orchid and Cang Chapter 71

Dong Fang Qing Cang quietly peered at Little Orchid for a long time . Her expression was like a needle that pierced his heart . Even though he controlled his state of mind and attempted to force himself with great effort to not look at her anymore, but when he turned around and closed eyes, in his head still appeared the empty, blank eyes of hers .

This matter caused Dong Fang Qing Cang to feel impatient and gloomy as he could not refrain from saying, “Where is he?” In the end, Dong Fang Qing Cang could not hold it in and said, “If you stay obediently by ben zuo, three days later ben zuo will help you find him . ”

Finished speaking, Dong Fang Qing Cang felt that perhaps his head really has an illness of some sort .

But at the time when he was still surprised by his own words, Little Orchid indifferently tossed a wood into the flames .

She was silent for a while and then responded, “Master is willing . I will not find her . ”

Dong Fang Qing Cang was briefly silent . The emotion suddenly became worse . He furrowed his brows, closed eyes, and voice was cold, “Up to you . ”

Little Orchid really did not say anymore .

Like so, silence until the horse hour* tomorrow .

The sun rose up high and the fire of Little Orchid still burns . She merely peered at the pile of flames and was staring blankly to the point of foolishness, but suddenly she discovered the surrounding cold energies were colder by several parts .

Little Orchid rubbed her arm and sat closer to the flames a bit more . However, the warmth of the flames did not dispel the cold energies enough . On the contrary, the sun slowly rose to midday noon position and the cold energies would become heavier .

Little Orchid peered to the side and discovered that Dong Fang Qing Cang was still closing eyes and lying there . Unexpectedly, the mouth breathed out white energy . Compared to before, this white energy was heavier by a lot . His lips were not black-color as the breathing from the nose congregated into a layer of thick white frost on his lips .

Little Orchid was stupefied . Inside head, there suddenly arose a thought—It’s not that Dong Fang Qing Cang…would die like this?

This thought would press forward . Little Orchid was not cautious and feelings of panic enveloped the mind . She seemed to have crawled up and kneeled besides Dong Fang Qing Cang . The hands rose and wanted to touch him, but the fingers did not get into contact with his skin as Little Orchid felt whooshing cold energies that pa.s.sed through the tips of the fingers and slipped into her blood vessels with chilliness to the bones .

Little Orchid was shocked and disregarded the coldness on Dong Fang Qing Cang as she raised her hand to wipe the white frost on his lips, “Big devil…big devil, what are you doing?” Her voice was a bit confused, “Big devil? Dong Fang Qing Cang!”

Suddenly, the breathing of the white energy from Dong Fang Qing Cang’s nose disappeared . Little Orchid immediately became startled . She hurriedly stretched hands to probe his nose . Disregarding a little coldness on Dong Fang Qing Cang’s body that caused her hands to become numb, Little Orchid pressed the hands on the neck and hoped to feel movements from the blood vessels .

But after a long while, the dazed Little Orchid still could not probe movement, which proved that Dong Fang Qing Cang was not alive .

It seemed he has really died .

Dong Fang Qing Cang really died…

The color on Little Orchid’s face seemed to have been drained out momentarily and “swish” into a complete paleness .

“Big devil . ” Little Orchid called Dong Fang Qing Cang . She began to become panic-stricken as she did not know what to do . Little Orchid stretched hand to help Dong Fang Qing Cang wipe away the white frost on the face . After that, raised hands to warm up is cheekbones that were like ice cubes, “You look at me . ” She spoke, “You move…” She wanted to pull the pair of securely closed eyes of Dong Fang Qing Cang, but his eyelashes have formed white frost and even froze his entire face .

Little Orchid then lowered head to peer at Dong Fang Qing Cang’s chest . The area where it froze to blue ice crystals on his chest has slowly extended .

She thought that she has obstructed the sunshine that would warm him and hurriedly got out of the way at a distance for Dong Fang Qing Cang to sunbathe, but that did not seemed enough . Thus, Little Orchid moved the burning flames closer to his side . The flames seemed to have burn Dong Fang Qing Cang’s clothes, but still cannot relieve the cold energies surrounding his body .

The ice crystals on Dong Fang Qing Cang were still extending out from the chest at a rapid speed that one can see .

Little Orchid saw the ice crystals that occupied his chest . They have climbed to his neck, and during the time when she was trying to find wood for the fire, have already enveloped the body of Dong Fang Qing Cang completely .

It seemed to have made a frozen coffin for him and buried his entire body inside .

When Little Orchid has accepted that even if she lit a fire besides Dong Fang Qing Cang to what degree of hotness and let him sunbathe, the temperature on his body was still unable to rise up . Little Orchid peered at the state of Dong Fang Qing Cang’s body whose body seemed to have lost to the cold energies and went to kneel besides him .

She did not know that he was seriously injured like this . In her eyes, Dong Fang Qing Cang was always very strong and granted when seriously injured, he also can use one finger to squeeze her to death .

Like this time, she has used Shuo Feng sword to pierce and injured him, but Dong Fang Qing Cang still can quickly come over to the heavenly realm, and down to Zhu Xian Tai to rescue her . After that, fought victoriously against the heavenly soldiers and generals, who were difficult to deal with . It seemed like anything could be done . If he was not frozen currently by ice, Little Orchid would never imagine in the end, what to do in order to cause deathly injuries to Dong Fang Qing Cang .

Cannot imagine that Dong Fang Qing Cang would save her and risked [his] life…

While right now…

He’s about to awfully die .

“Big devil…” Little Orchid slightly touched the ice crystals on Dong Fang Qing Cang’s chest . When touched, the tips of the fingers seemed to have become numb and were cold to the point of causing her heart to tremble .

But she did not withdraw the hand and yet, pressed the entire hand on the injured chest area of Dong Fang Qing Cang which separated from the frozen layer as if doing so will cause his body to become warmer .

Little Orchid did not speak out any words and saw the tears, drop by drop, fell on back of her hand . After that, they slid onto the frozen layer and froze into small ice pearls like in the legends where a merperson’ tears transformed into pearls .

“Mourning?”

Does not know how long Little Orchid waited as suddenly the familiar voice rang besides Little Orchid’s ears . She was shocked and eyes immediately brightened up . She peered to the side . Dong Fang Qing Cang was looking coldly at her .

At this time, the ice crystals on his face has slowly withdrawn and revealed his strongly pleasing face .

Little Orchid became dazed and then discovered the connected ice crystals on his body have slowly melted away . At this time, the sun at peak of the horse hour (midday) gradually inclined .

She peered at him and was dazed to where she could not say any words . The ice on the chest of Dong Fang Qing Cang withdrew . Little Orchid’s hand was placed on the injured chest area .

Sensing Little Orchid’s hand was placed on his chest, the pupils of Dong Fang Qing Cang moved, but the spoken words still remained emotionless, “You’re extremely joyful to the point of sobbing?”

Little Orchid peered at Dong Fang Qing Cang for a long while . Then [she] really grinned in an unpleasant way, “Right…right ah . ”

She would laugh and would cry . The tears fell down next to her smile . According to aesthetics of Dong Fang Qing Cang, Little Orchid at this time was extremely ugly, but does not know why when seeing Little Orchid like this, his chest suddenly warmed up .

After a brief moment, Little Orchid suddenly lunged forward to Dong Fang Qing Cang and hugged him . The smile on the lips gradually disappeared and there were only tears that fell continuously out, “Big devil, big devil…” She would shout out a sound and then another sound .

Dong Fang Qing Cang was slightly shocked, but hearing her shouted so seriously like this, he has to speak up, “What’s wrong?”

“I thought even you also did not need me anymore…”

Dong Fang Qing Cang was silent and allowed Little Orchid to cry and rub her cheeks against his head .

“You want to scheme against then scheme . You want to use me then use . I am not scared of being used and also am not scared of being schemed against . Do not throw me away . ”

Hearing such words, Dong Fang Qing Cang felt that he ought to be happy as he could make Little Orchid depend on him, is willing to be used and schemed by him . This was originally the result he wanted .

But hearing her wail and howl while sensing feeling her trembling body, Dong Fang Qing Cang suddenly felt that his heart does not want this unexpectedly .

This little flower demon should prostrate under him in great spirits, peered at him resentfully, and then battle wits and bravery against him .

Like this he would feel peaceful, and pit ability against her without having any sort of feelings mixing in . Then, will not regret harming her . In the end, from her body would achieve the results that he had planned since the beginning .

But Little Orchid wept, despaired, and became alarmed like this…Right he with Little Orchid, when he peered at her like that, he seemed unexpectedly… not desire playing the role of a bad person in front of her anymore .

He wants to become a hero, become a companion, to protect her…

But he is the ancient demon king ah! Companionship and protection? He…how can there be such a thought due to an insignificant little flower demon! He…

Dong Fang Qing Cang began to feel more like he seemed to have…become insane .

After a while, Little Orchid slowly stabled the emotions . She let go of Dong Fang Qing Cang, but hand still quietly wrapped around his hair as if being in contact with him and holding something on his body will prevent the ice crystals from appearing on him .

“Big devil, what happened to you just now?”

“Even though Shuo Feng sword is full of cold energies, but actual body is a double-edge sword . It is also positive energies . Each hour of the horse would be the time when the sky and earth would have the most positive energies . Positive energies will combine with the cold energy of Shuo Feng sword that remained on ben zuo’s body, causing ice crystals on the entire body of ben zuo . ” Dong Fang Qing Cang’s expression was emotionless when speaking as if he was not his body, “Three days later, the cold energies are unable to harm ben zuo’s body anymore . ”

In other words, in those three days, at the horse hour Dong Fang Qing Cang… must not be discovered by any enemy . If not, with his current state, will definitely become fine powder by the enemy .
