Xianwu smiled as she asked resuming their conversation "So… is there someone you dislike from the heavenly Supremes? You know… just an assumption." Xiao yin pondered for a while Xianwu waited curiously. "I do…" he replied. "Who?" Xianwu asked curiously. The boy sighed "The emperor of the Heavenly realm Tiandi Zhijun!" he stated. Xianwu stared at him shocked. "That old man has been living for more than ten thousand years, I feel jealous. How could somebody live for so long…? What a thick headed king! Sometimes I wonder how long he will live even after I die." He complained.
Xianwu unable to keep her laughter in, she laughed hard all of a sudden "Haha!" Xiao yin eyed her slightly surprised. She was overly impressed for his bravery to say anything he wanted, Zhijun was like a father like figure for her, and nobody in the whole heavenly realm would dare to even think about him like that still just a mortal child and his thoughts changed everything,. "Really!?" she laughed unable to keep it in.
"Sister is that really funny?" he asked amusingly. Xianwu nodded facing him. "If he really hears a human saying something like that to him, he would literally freak out. I don't think anyone would be as brave as you in the heavenly realm." She responded. Soon their laughter calmed down as Xiao yin asked "So sister… what sort of work did you get by that thickheaded king?" Xianwu smiled. "Nothing much… I just have to find a criminal till tomorrow. Don't worry it's not something impossible to do." Xianwu reassured him. "Then afterword's I'll go and find…" suddenly her words came to a dead end. Xiao yin looked at her confused look. Xianwu sighed "Don't go into depths Xianwu… he is just a young kid, I better not drag him with me…" she thought. Xiao yin asked "Sister, what are you trying to say?"
Xianwu looked back at him in wonder. "Xiao yin you know a lot about the heavenly city and the Supremes, I just wondered what else you know? You seem like a big book, from which I can ask anytime." she joked. Xiao yin smiled Fa ling stood straight from her hairs as he looked at her. "What is it Fa Ling?" Xianwu asked. "Could it be you are guarding us?" Fa ling nodded moving up and down. Xianwu caressed him in relief "Thank you~ what a good boy you are." Fa ling went towards Xiao yin tangling himself around his fingers playing with him.
Xiao yin continued "Hmm… Sister! Did you know about 3 demons of the underworld?" Xianwu's heart skipped a beat. Xiao yin continued "Demons are creatures born from eternal hate and regrets. Just like there are heavenly Supremes who are models of Righteous, they are models of viciousness. This make them exact enemies of each other. There were 3 demon kings who ruled but now there are only two. Amongst them the 1st one is known as 'The Earth Devouring Black Envoy' he rules the mountains and the glaciers of the mortal world, he is most likely reserved and unlikely to get involved into human matters or even heavenly ones. Rumours have it that he is quiet a good friend of the other one and has reached the peak of demolition stage of cultivation. He is the one responsible for bringing souls to purgatory." Xianwu listened to him engrossed. "Is he cruel?" she asked suddenly.
"Cruel?" Xiao yin repeated. Xianwu nodded again. "Who knows… demons are never kind. They might just gobble everything up." He told.
"But Yeying was different…" she thought. "Hmm… the 2nd one rules the Lands and the waters of the mortal world. He is known as the one who is the cruellest amongst the three 'Ominous Star Who Soothed Nightingale' In one of the old scrolls its written the he is so cruel that he even killed the 3rd demon king and took over the seas as well, which were his territory. In the heavenly city he is the one feared the most because his power matches the heavenly emperor." Xianwu was shocked "Yeying is the cruellest? He even killed a demon king? No wonder at the heavenly palace when he confronted the emperor nobody intended to stay in the palace… but then in front of me… does he act kind? But why…?" she thought disappointed. Xiao yin smiled "Sister… are you afraid?" Xianwu soon left her thoughts as she rejected his words.
Xiao yin told her his voice soft "Do you know why he is called that? Ominous star who soothed nightingale." Xianwu tilted her head in rejection.
"It is said that eight hundred years ago, he came to the heavenly city killing heavenly Supremes all around, he created such a great massacre that, the day was known as 'The day of Judgement' in the history of the heavenly Supremes. He killed more than 300 Supremes and many were injured as well including the heavenly emperor who was injured as well. Why he didn't even receive a scratch." Xianwu felt mesmerised "Just how would've that seen felt. Injuring the Heavenly Emperor. Even I couldn't do that…" Xianwu thought.
"Disappointed by the sight. He made his way back walking through the pile of bodies however, in the midst of killing so many he accidentally injured a Nightingale. Leaving his massacre, under his gentle bright red parasol, he gently picked it in his hands and wrapped a piece of cloth around it. Healing it. For many Supremes this scene was like as scene pictured in dreams only, at that moment just after this incident he sheltered the nightingale under the roof of a heavenly Supremes palace and left the heavenly city in turmoil but daze. So instead of calling his name the heavenly Supremes gave him this title. Ominous star means the humanity's worst enemy and soothed nightingale means but a hero for others." Xianwu was bewitched with his words as her heart beating faster after a second. "How passionate…" without a thought words trailed out of her mouth as she looked at Xiao yin who was surprised as well.
"Ominous star who soothed Nightingale… could be such a romantic person. I never thought that, I wonder how that single moment would have looked…" she said with a slight blush on her cheeks. Xiao yin smiled with a chuckle "Actually I told you this story in order to haunt you at night!" he laughed. Xianwu blinked her eyes in amazement. "Really? But I seemed to enjoy it…" she replied with a chuckle as well. "Haha! You really aren't scared?!" he asked in disbelief. Xianwu replied as she pushed him slight teasingly "No way…"
Looking at how much darker the night had become her eyes drifted into a slumber. She yawned hard but there was still one question which was unclear to her as she asked "Xiao yin… how are demons born?" the question was small but it hid a great diversity behind it. Though, Xianwu knew that demons are born in the volcanic arc of birth after a hundred years. And, once know should be eliminated before birth but still, the world had changed so much that two demon kings had been born when there were none in her past. So asking him might not change anything.
Xiao yin paused for a while. His eyes becoming stern and his expression grim Xianwu turned around to take a look at him but she was too drowsy to make out his expression in the midst of the fatigue she only saw his lips forming into a smile and seven words escape his lips "Sister, Demons aren't born… they are made…" His words were so simple that Xianwu didn't had the need to ask anymore as she swayed into her dreams.
"Xiao yin, we should better sleep. I worked really hard today so I'm a bit tired… let's see each other tomorrow…." she spoke lightly one last time. Xiao yin gazed at her back. Her translucent wings twitched slightly every second. Fa ling went closer to him as he patted Xiao yin's hairs as well motioning him to sleep as well remaining on his guard. Xiao yin with a smile gently tugged her hair into her his hands gazing at her back. "Sister… good night." He said.
