Demon King/The Parting of the Orchid and Cang Chapter 55.1

Even though Dong Fang Qing Cang did not do anything to her, but day by day and on each night she could not sleep soundly.

There were would be the incessant sounds of female voice calling her in dreams, "orchid flower spirit, orchid flower immortal spirit…."

Even when lying on the bed, the consciousness was still awake and Little Orchid still hears a voice that was gently calling her beside the ears, "Little Orchid…" Each time would be clearer, and each time would be more real.

It was strange to the point of resembling the matter of meeting ghosts that master has told her before.

But this is the demon realm and was the palace of Dong Fang Qing Cang that he has used his powers to congregate. Does not need to mention ghosts as even the lord of the underworld would not dare get close to a palace with overflowing biting-cold hostile energies.

On the third night when Little Orchid closed her eyes, the voice would appear again. She really cannot endure it anymore and wanted to get out of bed. She wanted to find Dong Fang Qing Cang and reason it out. It's granted that during the day he showed contempt toward her, yet at night if [he's] still torturing her and preventing her from sleeping, this is clearly going too far!

But at the time when she intended to use the hand to lift the blanket, Little Orchid discovered unexpectedly that her hand could not move!

She wanted to open eyes, but on the eyelids there seemed to hang a mysterious thousand-iron catty. This caused her to not become awake regardless of how much she has struggled.

This…perhaps this is the sleep paralysis in the legends?

"Do not find Dong Fang Qing Cang." The female voice stirred inside the mind and did not call her like the various nights it did. Instead it said something else, "He will harm you…" The voice was clear and steady. Hearing such, unexpectedly there was no sinister energy but rather it was filled with upright/proper energy.

Little Orchid was startled and did not struggle anymore. She restrained the fear surfacing in her heart and asked in a small voice, "You..who are you? You want… to do what?"

But the female did not have a response.                       Chocolatecosmos translated this.

As if the two statements from before have already taken up all the energy of the female, the surroundings became completely tranquil. Even the voice that called "Little Orchid…" daily did not remained anymore.

The hands and feet loosen and Little Orchid opened her eyes.

This was still her room and she was still covered in a blanket while lying on the bed. There was no one in the surroundings.

Using the moonlight outside that shone through the window of the room, Little Orchid peered through the curtains and heart was filled with suspicions. Up until now, she did not discovered the peculiarity of the person in the dreams and it would be such a waste of the difficulties she had to endure during the various days of following Dong Fang Qing Cang and running to various places.

That was not an illusion of hers. It was really someone communicating to her through some sort of method.

According to what the person has said, "Dong Fang Qing Cang wants to harm you" and predicting, perhaps this person was not someone who sided with him. If this person hid inside the palace that Dong Fang Qing Cang has used powers to construct, then how come he does not know?

Little Orchid raised her hand up and peered at her wrist using the moonlight. The bone orchid has no reaction, which proved that there was no hostile energy before. The person in the dream did not want to harm her. In the end, who was that person? What did that person want her to do…

In the early morning, Little Orchid languidly pushed open the room door. She wanted to go outside to bask in the sunlight, but when she arrived at the main door, she has already seen the shadow of Dong Fang Qing Cang blocking the main door.

He stood with folded hands and the back was straight like before.

Little Orchid walked closer and heard human noises coming from outside. It was the prime minister that Dong Fang Qing Cang has arbitrarily selected who has returned to report after three days. Does not need to hear the contents of his as [she] only needed to hear the degree of shaking in his voice and Little Orchid knew that this prime minister has failed the task that Dong Fang Qing Cang has entrusted to him.

"Even though this lowly official has found the place where Chi Lan has resided, the difficult matter was a boundary congregated from the earth and sky. Even if this lowly official used all kinds of methods, but cannot break through. Therefore…therefore…"

"Oh, where is that place?" The voice of Dong Fang Qing Cang was still indifferent and did not seemed angry, but like so would caused others to not be able to discern his mood. Does not know when speaking out various words will caused Dong Fang Qing Cang to kill you.

Naturally, cannot prolong the matter in the end. Under the gaze of Dong Fang Qing Cang, the prime minister thus slowly said, "In…in the southwest direction of the demon realm, on the gra.s.slands.

"Oh." Dong Fang Qing Cang spoke up and hand halted congregation of the powers. At this time, he suddenly heard the sounds of exhaling.

It was Little Orchid who was behind him and could not endure it anymore as she produced a sound. It was not due to the hostile energy surrounding Dong Fang Qing Cang as it was due to her wrist suddenly feeling pain. Thus, she could not endured and breathed out a cold breath.

She lowered head and discovered that the bone orchid has sprouted a branch and its sharp tip has pierced her hand while she was walking. This time the piercing has caused blood to trickle out.

Little Orchid covered the wrist and lifted head to look. The four eyes met. Dong Fang Qing Cang did nothing, but in Little Orchid's head, there suddenly surfaced the sentence that she has heard in the dreams last night, "He wants to harm you."

This sentence seemed like it was biting away the pit of her stomach. It caused Little Orchid to cannot help but s.h.i.+ver as she looked away. She bit her lips and subconsciously retreated a step. Then she peered at Dong Fang Qing Cang while not daring to produce any movement.

Seeing the fear in Little Orchid that she attempted to hide with all her efforts in her eyes, inside Dong Fang Qing Cang's head an absurd thought suddenly occurred, "He has scared her". He felt that such thought was absurd as during the ancient times, Dong Fang Qing Cang has never had such thought before.

Isn't scaring others something that he would often do…

Reverence out of fear was the manner everyone should show toward him.

Even if Dong Fang Qing Cang thought such, at that time he cannot help but admit that he was in no mood to kill others. Dong Fang Qing Cang turned head away and tone of voice was still cold, "Ben zuo has remembered saying that if the person was not found, then has to bring [your] head here."

The figure of the prime minister trembled, "This…this…this lowly official is incompetent…"

"Indeed is incompetent. Lead the way for ben zuo. Let ben zuo see the boundary that the sky and earth has formed together."
