Demon King/The Parting of the Orchid and Cang Chapter 19.2

Ears heard the still calm voice of Xie Wanqing, “What happened?”

When her words just finished, Dong Fang Qing Cang then swung his hand. With leveling land and the rising wind outside of Lucheng’s spell protective screen, the wind grew bigger and faster. It then transformed into a hurricane and swirled the camping tents while also blowing away the provisions of the rebels. When everyone was still in shock, the hurricane suddenly became a dragon that drew upward toward the blue clouds. One by one warhorses were rolled away and many soldiers also flew disorderly everywhere in the air.

The hurricane blew dust and was like the autumn wind that sweeps away golden leaves*. Only within a blink of an eye, it has caused eight thousand rebel soldiers in front of Lucheng to become missing without a trace.

* idiom that means drive out the old and make a clean sweep

It included the general, and also the leader of the rebels…

Little Orchid was shocked and speechless. She only knew to look at the lonesome ground to the blade of the gra.s.s that were swept cleanly in front of Lucheng. Eyes appeared lifeless.

Dong Fang Qing Cang raised hand and the protective spell screen disappeared and remained only were the deep moat on the ground that proved he had taken action, “Problem solved.” He said, “Tomorrow’s evening (11 am-1pm) is the destined time in which Xie Wanqing lose her life. Ben zuo will wait until then to take away her life.”

Little Orchid was about to go crazy. The left hand grabbed a bit in the air. Finally, grabbed [her] own shirt collar, “You are playing with me ah! You are playing with me ah! You thought that I was young and insensible that you can fool me! What are you doing ah?”

Dong Fang Qing Cang pulled the left hand away, “This is good deed that ben zuo seldom does for the first time.”

“Good deed?! This is a good deed to you?”

“Didn’t you want them happy?” Dong Fang Qing Cang dully said, “The current situation with the enemy is not dangerous anymore. She can happily live until I take her life away. I can also grant them something that mortals have always wanted— die the same day, same month, and in the same year.”

Dong Fang Qing Cang’s speech was rather despising because he does not understand what mortals wanting to die with one another really meant. Nevertheless, these mortals will have to reincarnate. The underworld is not a place that they can hold hands, jump down, and arranged for them to be blood-related siblings in the next life. Drinking Lady Meng Po’s soup, whoever will go whichever way. Next life can even be reincarnated as different species from one another.

Dong Fang Qing Cang was too calm causing Little Orchid to screech, “In the end, did you even consider my feelings? There was clearly a simple way for them to be happy. Only needed to fix a small spot in their fates will do, but you! You! You have blown away eight thousand soldiers of theirs! Where are those generals, where is the leader of the rebel?! If a person’s fate determined that they will become emperor then what?! It’s the fate of an entire country ah! The fate of an entire country is a mandated by heaven ah! You are creating havoc on the Mandate of Heaven and will be struck by lightning!”

Dong Fang Qing Cang moved his lips to smile and still was as bra.s.sy as before, “Then struck, ben zuo cannot endure those wave of lightning or what?” He was quite formidable and was this much headstrong….

Little Orchid had already guess this much as she obviously knew his character quite well.

Little Orchid only felt depletion and difficulty surfacing within heart. She loosen the neck collar and caused the left half of Dong Fang Qing Cang to shrug as if dead, “I’m going to die. What am I doing, if master knew, not feeding me to the pigs will be embarra.s.sing to the sun that rose tomorrow. I’m going to die…”

Seeing eight thousand living soldiers conspicuously disappearing in front of eyes, mortals on the city walls were even two times more surprised than Little Orchid. Even Xie Wanqing was also extremely shocked and surveyed the city wall with hand to look afar. She did not dare believe so and blinked several times.

“Has the G.o.d spiritually appeared?”

Suddenly a soldier said, “The G.o.d has spiritually appeared!”

The G.o.d Dong Fang Qing Cang was extremely tranquil in front of the cheers from the soldiers. The matter was that after dragging the limped left half of the body past Xie Wanqing, he abruptly halted.

“Soon.” Dong Fang Qing Cang muttered, “Soon it’s coming.”

“What are you saying?” Little Orchid forcefully pushed oneself to stabilize and asked him, “What do you want to do?”

Dong Fang Qing Cang did not respond. Because there was no mirror, Little Orchid thus only felt him moving the lips and cannot see within the dark-b.l.o.o.d.y eyes of his shone the desire of wanting to kill someone.
