Chapter 20 - -20-

For a while, Chen Liao Xuan forgot about his goal earlier. The passion that burned him made him even more fondling the even unconscious girl. Until he did a union, and his eyes widened again when he knew if the girl he had slept with was still pure.

While in the kingdom of heaven, the King seemed to be standing at the gate, which made him remember the pain. Every moment, every day. Until the very dazzling golden light, he appeared. Even that light penetrated the sky realm perfectly.

"Isn't this a very painful fate, Your Majesty," Li Qian Long walked up to the King. Then, he looked at the tightly closed door. Doors that are opened only for Gods who make mistakes. And the door that who opened last time for this most important figure in the sky. "The light from the Crown Prince's essence of life is even capable of penetrating the celestial realm very clearly. Isn't this a sign, if the two humans have now met again?"

The King's jaw tightened, but he said nothing but silence because he could not say anything about this.

"Your Majesty the King, the existence of Goddess Angier with the Crown Prince is a destiny bestowed by the heavens. Goddess Angier was the supreme Goddess here even though she was born from a demi-human. And indeed Goddess Angier is the mate that the sky gave to the Crown Prince. However His Majesty the King separated them, and how much His Majesty the King's power erased their memories. Believe me, Your Majesty, fate will surely bring them together in their own way."

"I don't care about that, Lord Li," the King finally spoke. Between Angier and Liao Xuan, something happened that didn't bother me. It's just, Liao Xuan's faults are really within my normal limits as a father. Although sometimes I miss him as much as now."

Lord Li Qian Long fell silent hearing the words of the King. "Weren't you the one who wrote the destiny for beings in this universe, Lord Li. Then why did you make my son's destiny like this? I don't know what the end will be, but my son has become a Demon King. And the Demon Lord will never be able to become a Heavenly Crown Prince until then."

"Your Majesty, what belongs to him will return to his master. That's what I know from the laws of this universe," Li Qian Long spoke again. The King only glanced at him briefly, and then he took a deep breath. "Your Majesty will always live long. The original position of the Crown Prince remained vacant until his master came. For if not, the end of the kingdom of heaven will begin from then on."

"Sorry, Commander Jiang, I have been looking for His Majesty the King everywhere. But until now we still can't find it. Judging from the fall of His Majesty the King we believe that His Majesty the King fell not far from the peach forest belonging to the Demon Kingdom. However, until this moment we explored the area, we did not find any clues. Besides...."

"Besides what? Say it straight away without further ado!" Jiang Kang Hua's words seemed to be thunderous, and even his intonation was high enough to make a human-class creature flinch and shiver in fear. The soldiers saluted again with their frightened faces.

"Besides an extremely dazzling light that seems to blaze through the sky, Commander Jiang. As we were about to approach, our bodies all bounced off. And there were some of our troops who were instantly crushed by that light. As of this moment, we have not been able to determine what light it is, Commander Jiang. But we promise, we will go back along the banks of the river, and the pine forest that is there."

"Okay, because I've killed a lot of incompetent soldiers like you guys. So this time, I'm giving you guys a chance. But, if two days before the full moon you still haven't brought His Majesty the King here, do you know what the punishment will be for you? I will make your bodies the prey of my hungry dogs."

"Alright, Commander Jiang!"

All the soldiers who were there immediately left with their heavy hearts. Half of them are humans, enslaved to become slaves and worship demons. Moreover, the full red moon will appear precisely four days before today. They were only given two nights. Was that enough?

While Jiang Kang Hua seemed to squeeze the table in front of him, yes, he's not blind either. Last night, he witnessed for himself, a golden white light appeared from a point, and it was from around the peach forest belonging to the demon kingdom. Jiang Kang Hua didn't know what light it was. Because he had lived in these thousands of years, he had never once seen such a bright and beautiful light. Yes, beautiful, but Jiang Kang Hua seemed to know. Attractive according to the eyes is not beautiful according to him. For sure, such holy light would quickly burn his body into ashes.

He took another deep breath last night, and he couldn't even think straight. He knew all this was his fault very well, and he came to the King while the King was imprisoned to restore his lost strength. And when he was in such a weak condition, he instead came to ask for help, forcing the King out against all the foxes. Again, Jiang Kang Hua squeezed the red even until the table shattered into pieces. He was apprehensive about his King's condition, and he was very curious about his King's illness. Will the King be able to survive? Or is the King now dying and dead, and it will take tens of thousands of years to awaken his King from his slumber. No, that can't happen. Because if it comes to that, the demon king will be acquired by other irresponsible people again.

"The last petal of the peach tree outside that was about to fall is now blooming, isn't that a good sign?" adviser Li came over, waving the fan. He glanced at Commander Jiang with a fierce look. "But like that, a mistake is a mistake. And what you did in that battle was a fatal mistake, Commander Jiang," he said again, with a heavy emphasis and a gripping cold aura. The two of them now looked at each other. Emotions and anger swelled into one very real. The stronghold for the King, and wanting to be considered the most, made them one real enemy under the covers.

Yes, there is a perish tree in the main hall, which is as old as the King's life. Even the tree began to appear in quite a strange way when the King came to the demon realm. And he said the peach tree signifies the health and age of the King. For, every time the King lost his strength, the tree looked very withered, the flower petals falling. However, when the King returns to health, the peach tree will be green and fertile. Even the tree will be full of flowers and fruit. Strange, indeed, for a Demon Lord to sway himself with a peach tree. I don't know what happened in his previous life. Or rather, the peach tree had been a witness to an earlier life.
