Jiayi put her head on his shoulder closing her eyes as Fengge patted her head. This naive crown prince seemed very romantic. But they were interrupted by Yang Han. The dark realm crown prince. His aura was almost the same as his god father's. His red hair falling all to one side of his face.
He dusted his dark red robe that was almost the color of blood. The other side of his head that could be seen, his ear was well decorated with the best solid gold ear cuffs. Jiayi groaned in anger as she released herself from Fengge. Walking to Yang Han, she looked at him from up to down.
"How dare you interrupt us? Get out." Jiayi said calmly trying to put Yang Han down.
"Jiayi, you are an unmarried demon princess. You shouldn't stain your reputation by being with a man alone." Yang Han said trying to talk sense to Jiayi.
Jiayi was his god father's real daughter. As her older brother he has always tried to help her and look after her but she was imprudent and flirtatious. Demon girls were less shy and reserved compared to celestial girls but her identity was special. She was the dark realm's one and only princess.
Before Yang Han can realize what is happening, Jiayi slaps Yang Han across the face.
"What? Do you have anything to say? Get out!" Jiayi said shouting.
Yang Han felt his blood boiling but he said nothing. Jiayi enjoyed putting him down. She has always wanted to be crown princess. Since the dark king had no plan on making her the crown princess, she wasn't ready to leave him alone either.
Fengge gasps when he sees Jiayi slap Yang Han. Walking to them, Fengge uses one hand to grab Jiayi away from Yang Han.
"Jiayi! He is your elder brother. Why did you slap him?" Fengge asked scolding Jiayi.
"Brother? How can a low life be my brother? He's an adopted son that thinks he can rise to the top. But I won't allow it, you hear me? I would rather die than see you coronated as the dark king. You watch out." Jiayi said smiling as she left leaving the both of them alone.
"I am sorry. Jiayi is just having a bad day. Please don't be angry" Fengge said.
"Don't come here with your fake pity. All of you celestials are liars!" Yang Han said angrily before leaving.
Things in the dark realm were so complicated and scary. That's why he loved staying in the heavenly realm.
Tingzhe returns tying the belt of his shirt when he sees Fengge's face. Something had definitely happened. Standing in front of him, Tingzhe taps Fengge's shoulder gaining his attention.
"Why do you like a calamity has just befallen the heavenly realm?" Tingzhe asked sitting down.
"Tingzhe, I have a question to ask. Why does Jiayi and the crown prince always fight? I know it's because Jiayi is jealous of the fact that Yang Han is gaining attention but if that's the case then, why doesn't the dark king make Jiayi the crown princess to end this feud?" Fengge asked.
"Its because..... I know I shouldn't be telling you this so promise me. Whatever I tell you must never be told to anyone. And whatever you tell me, I will never disclose to anyone. How does that sound?" Tingzhe asked.
"Good. Let's do it together then" Fengge said.
Smiling to each other, Tingzhe and Fengge both raise their hands kneeling while facing each other.
"I swear. To the heaven and my ancestors. I, Fengge of the heavenly realm..." Fengge said
"I swear. To the dark hell and my ancestors. I, Tingzhe of the dark realm..." Tingzhe said.
"Will never disclose nor use anything that my sworn brother tells me. If I do, may I never be reincarnated. And may my soul be doomed to eternal damnation" They both said at the same time.
Later on, they both sit down on the top of the mountain. Tingzhe had once said that a powerful dragon demon lived there. Now, the both of them could trust each other.
"Jiayi has a problem with her inner demon. When Jiayi was young, she and her sister fell into the dark water surrounding the dark core. After they fell inside, their powers became very unstable. Every time the dark core starts getting unstable, Jiayi's power will do so too. So what I am trying to say in reality is that Jiayi is crazy. She is unstable both mentally and cultivation wise. Do you understand?" Tingzhe asked looking at Fengge. Maybe that will get Fengge to give up.
"You are not lying, right?" Fengge asked looking at Tingzhe.
"We just swore to heaven and made a pact. Why would I do something that serious to lie to you?" Tingzhe asked.
"You are right. Then has the dark king done anything to help her?" Fengge asked.
"Jiayi is under strict cultivation. Lord Sly is her master. Don't worry about her. And you?" Tingzhe asked.
"What do you mean?" Fengge asked looking curiously at Tingzhe.
"Forget it. You are so clueless. There is no way you know anything. Don't worry. From now on, you have an ally in the dark realm. An ally who is willing to help you unconditionally" Tingzhe said tapping Fengge's shoulder.
"And you also have an ally in the heavenly realm. I am the crown prince. I will never allow anything to happen to you. Not if I can help it. We are brothers without blood relations" Fengge said laughing.
"Then let's make a blood oath." Tingzhe said immediately.
"Blood oath? We have made so many pacts already. What's the use of a blood oath?" Fengge asked looking at his hand.
"Follish boy. Don't you know that all the pacts we've made has been done using the heavenly realm's method. Blood oaths are considered sacred in the dark realm." Tingzhe said
"If it will put you at ease. Fine then. Let's do it." Fengge said giving his right hand out.
Tingzhe tried his best not to smile as he brought the knife. He had read in the ancient texts before. How to make a demon's power awaken. Fengge was the crown prince of the heavenly realm but he was a partial demon. Tinzgbe could see that all his strengths laid in his demon side. Taking blood might help weaken the seal the heavenly realm put on Fengge. Using this blood oath was the perfect excuse.
Using his powers, a knife appeared. This knife had been given to him by his father, Lord Pain for him to use to cultivate. The knife was an ancient demon weapon that increased every time one felt pain from the wound caused by it. Since he was 8,000 years old he had always feed the knife with some of his blood. Over the years, he used the knife to kill thousands of enemies. The knife might be enough to help weaken the seal.
Taking Fengge's right hand, he was about to cut it when he saw Fengge shaking. Could it be? Tingzhe shook his head as he saw Fengge continuing to quiver even though Fengge was trying his best to hide it. There was no time. Using his other hand, he tore a straight line on Fengge's palm.
"Don't scream. No matter what you do. Don't scream or show pain" Tingzhe said to Fengge who was showing signs of pain.
"What's that? Its so painful. I feel like....." Fengge said groaning as his legs were about to give out of too much pain.
"This is an ancestral demon weapon. Fengge, use your magic to stop your emotions or else the knife will feed on your pain and draw your energy from you." Tingzhe said reciting some spells unto the knife.
The seal used was indeed powerful. Almost as if someone was afraid of Fengge's demon side. Who could have done such a thing? Caging Fengge's demon side. While he was reciting the spell, Tingzhe felt something hit him away causing him to fly across the room.
"What is inside him?" Tingzhe whispered looking at Fengge who seemed to be calming down.
Fengge looked away from his hand as his blood kept dropping to the ground. He had always been afraid of seeing blood. His own blood. Looking at the ground, he noticed his blood was dark in color. As a child, he had never been awake whenever he got cut or injured so he had never really looked at his blood. Raising his head up, he saw the blood rushing out of his hand was dark red. So dark that it could even be mistaken as black.
"What is this?" Fengge asked out loud.
Every celestial had golden blood. Why was his own blood dark red? Looking at Tingzhe, he saw the surprise on Tingzhe's face.
"Fengge, are you alright?" Tingzhe asked worried about him.
"What did you do to me? I know I should have never trusted you! You deceived me!" Fengge shouted.
"Don't you already know? You are half demon. That's why your blood is dark. They have been caging your demon side" Tingzhe said.
