Demon King/The Parting of the Orchid and Cang Chapter 2

Little Orchid suddenly heard Dong Fang Qing Cang whispered such. While she is still in a daze, she saw Dong Fang Qing Cang suddenly walked in the direction of the tower stairs.

“Where are you going?” Little Orchid stared at him, “Do not run, ah, inside the tower there are a lot of spells… … you are using my body ah! Hey!”

Despite the increasing volume of Little Orchid’s voice, there is no way to call back Dong Fang Qing Cang to turn around.

“Hey! Dong Fang…” Before Little Orchid finish calling his name, the head of Dong Fang Qing Cang, who stepped onto the stairs, suddenly disappeared.

Little Orchid grasped in fear, saw Dong Fang Qing Cang’s feet go up, from the neck to the waist has disappeared, then legs, and finally the whole person disappeared!

Little Orchid cannot believe this and rubbed her eyes, then look closely, only to find the place where Dong Fang Qing disappeared is the junction between the first and second layer.

Could it be that in this tower there is another dimension/world [a place of charm and beauty]? Thinking back that is true, ancient sacred objects have something that people cannot guess. Little Orchid touched her chin while pondering for a while, perhaps in this tower the outer appearance seems to be where one can look at the top, but in fact on the first layer one cannot see the second, third, fourth, fifth layers below.

If so, then it’s not only her and Dong Fang Qing Cang being trapped in here.

In Little Orchid’s memory, not once did she heard master mentioned about causing Hao Tian tower to open, the topic of sealing demons, until this time when she personally experienced it. So, if this tower has sealed other demons, then it must be sealed from a long time ago. Monsters/demons sealed here, thinking about it, must not be weak [demons/monsters].

Hao Tian has a total of nine layers. Speaking generally, there are more than two people trapped here. If Dong Fang Qing Cang has a bit of capability, he will release all those monsters/demos, and then the idea of blowing up this tower does not become impossible.

Little Orchid rubbed her hands, and felt a bit of excitement.

As for issue after blowing up the tower and releasing all those demons and ghosts, what will the world and people do…

Little Orchid still conservatively thinks that [she] cannot rob the Emperor’s job/bowl of rice.

Full of hope, she waited for Dong Fang Qing Cang to lead a lot of majestic, domineering and strong demons out, but for a long time, [she] does not see Dong Fang Qing Cang emerged.

It seems that he really did disappeared in this tower. No information.

Little Orchid is really worried that her body will never come back.

Each day her sorrow increases, Little Orchid’s spirit can no longer hold, and she began to stumble in dreams. Sometimes would see master gently watered her, would see Dong Fang Qing Cang pull out her hair until bald. And would also dream about that day…

It was the great immortal-demon war, Little Orchid was scared and fled to the lower realm, inadvertently met the resurrected Dong Fang Qing Cang who was internally injured from an attack. He grabbed her, impolitely used his sharp white teeth to sink into her neck. Little Orchid felt it clearly, and flowing out of her body along with blood was her soul.

Before when she was in a coma, she vaguely heard Dong Fang Qing Cang used her body to speak with the heavenly troops and generals who chased after him, “I am willing to enter Hao Tian tower to guard after the demons, and be conscientious of a millennium years spent on cultivating immortality.”

She wanted to scold him, be conscientious on your d.a.m.n ancestors[1], I cannot even lived past a millennium…

When she woke up, she was in the cell, and the devil himself was sitting outside.

This matter is reality, but in Little Orchid’s dream, she and the big devil were trapped together in the cell, and their bodies have not been exchanged. Every day the demon will grab her dudou ribbon while grinning, “You are not following? If you are not following, I will pull out all your hair!”

She cried to the point of hoa.r.s.eness, but the devil remains indifferent. In the end, she has no alternative and so she followed the devil. But when she was undressing, her master suddenly appeared with a sickle. With a blackened face, she said fertilizer cannot flow on outsider’s field, and would rather cut her up to feed the pigs than allow the devil to eat her clean.

Little Orchid was scared to the point of her face becoming pale. Between the panics, [she] suddenly heard a voice coldly sounded, “Stand up.”

Little Orchid was startled, and with cold sweat on head she slowly stood up. The woman outside the cell looked coldly at her.

“Big…”Little Orchid was about to speak up, yet suddenly saw there was another gaze fixated at her. She s.h.i.+fted her head, behind Dong Fang Qing Cang there is a man with black hair and red clothing.

Rescue soldier!

In Little Orchid’s mind, brightness surrounded the two words. Great devil really did find rescue soldiers to let out!

But at a closer look, Little Orchid suddenly felt that she couldn’t even laugh. Even if there is no knowledge and experience to a certain degree, she is aware of the flame between the eyebrows – a duo xian (fallen immortal).

Fallen immortal trapped in Hao Tian tower. Little Orchid heard her master said, those who have strong resentments would become fallen immortals. Such people are mostly likely to have distorted psychological mindsets, incorrect three outlooks*, difficult and strange behavior more so than normal demons, and should not be provoked.

*三观 sān guan: “life” guan, “world” guan, and “value” guan; it’s referring to the three philosophical viewpoints or mindsets.

Little Orchid quietly took a step back, and that man’s gaze has fallen upon her, “Eh, there is also a beautiful man here ah?” His tone was frivolous, prompting Little Orchid to furrow her brows.

Not waiting for Little Orchid to observe more closely, he turned, and placed his hand/claw on Dong Fang Qing Cang to touch. That hand slid down, and conveniently pulled Dong Fang Qing Cang into his arms, “Little beauty.” His pair of coquettish (peach-flower like) eyes was quite seductive to the point of dripping out spring, “So you let me out in order to save him ah? How hurtful.”

What! This… this guy is simply too frivolous!

“You let go!” Little Orchid angrily scolded, “Claws off!” It’s her body and she is still a pure orchid lady, as if she would let others take liberties!

Her vigorous voice attracted the two pairs of eyes outside the cell. Dong Fang Qing Cang side-eyed at her, and obviously did not care for the red robed man’s touch.

The red robes man lifted his brows and laughed, “What is little beauty’s relations.h.i.+p with this young man? Makes me feel extremely jealous.”

“I have nothing to do with her.” Dong Fang Qing Cang’s face was cold, inexplicably different from unfathomable mysterious burning fumes in Little Orchid’s nose.

The red robed man looked at Little Orchid, and laughs hee hee, “This person personally thinks his love is reciprocated and wants to be a flower envoy (cupid) –coughs- ?” He squinted and looked at Little Orchid up and down, then slightly furrowed his brows, “Seems a little familiar…”

“It seems that you do not want to leave here?” Dong Fang Qing Cang interrupted the red clothed man’s words. His face was cold,” If you do not want to leave, then I will return you back.”

“Why is little beauty getting angry?” Red clothed men withdrew his hands, “Well fine, let’s talk business. You said Hao Tian tower’ vital point was where?”

Dong Fang Qing Cang stepped forward a couple of steps, went to the center of Hao Tian tower, and raised his hand to point at four directions, “Today at horse hour (11 am to 1 pm; noon), the four main places will s.h.i.+ft, especially the East, and the pearl’s shadow will lean towards here.” Dong Fang Qing Cang pointed at the wall across from Little Orchid, “At that time, this place will be the vital point of Hao Tian tower, blow up here, and Hao Tian tower will certainly collapse and fall apart.”

The red clothed man touched his chin and pondered for a long time, “Little beauty, I see that you are an (heavenly) immortal, am afraid you do not know the vastness qi of Hao Tian tower that suppresses strongly on demons. The stronger the strength the strong the suppression will be. Using my utmost strength is already difficult. Are you sure I can blow up ancient artifact during its moment of weakness?”

Such question asked directly into the main point. Little Orchid also does not believe it.

If Hao Tian tower can simply be broken, then the t.i.tle of ancient artifact would have been too easily placed.

Dong Fang Qing Cang grinned, “Of course I do not believe it.” He said, “I’m going lay the battle formation here, and you would just use a tiny bit of your mana/power to blow up the wall.”

That red clothed man seems to at lost [of words] due to the truth in Dong Fang Qing Cang’s words, and dazedly looked at him for a while, “It is strange that you are not a demon or fallen immortal, cultivation powers are minuscule, yet why are you so familiar with Hao Tian tower’s weakness, and dare to rave on about? In the end who are you really?”

“You only need to know that we share a mutual purpose.”

The red clothed man licked his lips, his dark eyes seem to reveal a hint of light flitting across, “This girl is so mysterious and unpredictable, causing people to refrain from… concealing the heart ah. In my life I’ve met countless women, but has not met a woman with such temperament…” When he finished speaking, he moved toward Dong Fang Qing Cang, but when [he was] two steps away from Dong Fang Qing Cang, he purposely buckled his feet, and shouted one sound “Ai ya, feet buckled.” His hands launched forward, landed and climbed onto Dong Fang Qing Cang’s chest, the orchid embroidered mo xiong* was gently grasped and pull downward by him, and revealed a mysterious curve.

That red clothed man finished fondling, and satisfactorily smiled while lifting his head. He was about to use his gaze to take liberties [tease] at this young girl a bit, but did not expect to face… a pair of calm, cold, and ruthless eyes.

What?

This woman who was molested by him is staring quietly at him as if staring at dead fish. Should not be like this…

Where is the resentment? Anger? Where is the hysteria and craziness after being molested? Where is lovely raging shout of women that melt his heart?

“Ah ah ah ah ah!”

The stagnant water-like silence was broken by the noise at the moment, the man over at the cell wants to break out, bursting in a frantic lion-like rage, “Ah ah ah ah ah! You let go!”

The red clothed man was surprised by the roar, overwhelmed with shock/amazement and turned around, the man in the cell wants to kill him, giving a blood-shot glare, “Let go, let go, let go! Hands off! b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I will kill you! I will kill you!”

Such madden roar caused the red clothed man to blink twice, turned around and asked Dong Fang Qing Cang, “This is … … how?

Dong Fang Qing Cang showed no expression, pulled the crooked mo xiong back, “Stand firmly yet?”

“Ah … en … wait! You’re not angry?”

Dong Fang Qing Cang curved lips, laughed more hysterically [and more sinister/wild] than when he molested before…

“Why should I get angry?” He pushed the already stiffen and foolish red clothed man, “Get out of the way, I have to prepare the formation.”

The red clothed man was pushed to the side, and foolishly stood on the side. While the other male who scolded to the point of hoa.r.s.eness was still endlessly shouting, “I want to cut your hands! One day I will cut your hands!” He looked at the side, the handsome man has grown such a strong hatred to the point of abandoning his image and without hesitation, began to kick the wall.

Once again turned his head around. The party who was molested on the chest is simply circling around the tower, and then threw shoes at the cell, “So noisy, be quiet.” Then calmly continue in barefoot.

The red clothed man blinked. He felt suddenly that perhaps he was trapped for too long, thus cannot understand the world anymore…

[1] In the English language, I barely hear people curse each other ancestors. If I were to use an English equivalent, it would be: “be conscientious my a**” (the connotations and context such cursing is used). Yet, I want to keep the original text in tact (specifically cursing upon another’s ancestors) and so I opt to insert the word “d.a.m.n” to indicate to readers that Little Orchid is cursing at DFQC in her thoughts.
