When Su Qing arrived on the second floor, the battle started to begin as Wu Chun went to fight his best friend.
"Long time no see, Su Qing, seems like you came here to kill me…am I correct?" He looked at Su Qing with an angry look.
Su Qing laughed. "That's right! I'm here to kill you because of my father who wants me to rule the world, Wu Chun." He pointed the tip of the sword at him. "Say your defeat and I will spare you…if not then don't blame me for doing this."
"NEVEEEER! For the sake of my family and the world that I swore to protect… will never be traded to you. You're the most selfish person that I ever met and someone who is blinded by the words of those that you thought can be trusted.
The war continued until Su Qing stabbed his best friend in the heart. When the battle ended, Wu Chun's baby started to cry. "Wah Wah Wah!"
His forehead started to appear with a mark of a peacock in the center but it disappeared when his mother rushed into the room.
"My poor baby!" She unseals the barrier and picks her baby up, crying.
"I have to bring you somewhere safe!"
She walks out of the room and heads toward her magical tree. It was a tree that can teleport people anywhere they want without a token. It has no name and has been alive for billions of years before humans were born. When the mother arrives in the area, she then touches the tree trunk and sends her son away down into the human world. Everything was over for her until the general came and rescued everyone and defeated all the demons.
Su Qing retreated with his army and never came back because he completely lost his mind with the last word that he heard from Wu Chun.
Flashback to Wu Chun's Last Word
Su Qing stabbed Wu Chun's heart and took his sword back as Wu Chun fell to his knees.
"I was hoping that you would come to find and ask me what's wrong at that time…but it turns out…" Wu Chun smiled. "Things don't go the way I expected them to…Su Qing.. thank you for being my friend."
Wu Chun's head falls as if he is looking down.
Su Qing's whole body froze while his eyes, full of guilt and shame, looked at the face of his dead friend. He finally recalled a memory that he lost when he overheard his mother talking to someone. It looked just like her but then he didn't dare look at the face of that person.
Lost Memory: The day after Wu Chun left when they were young
Su Qing was hiding in his mother's closet as she threw Wu Chun's gifts that he brought for her to the floor. It was smashed into pieces as Su Qing covered his mouth in shock.
"What a shameless boy."
That was the first time Su Qing ever heard her say that about someone. But the more he listened to her speech, the more he felt like his mother had gone crazy like the old witches that his father read to him when he was 9.
"How dare he give me this filthy treasure that doesn't shine like the jewelry of gold! Why dig into the blood and flesh of my essence just like the same old lady who has evilness in its hard white bone? I will have to teach him a lesson for being friends with my son who should be the next king of this world and make him fall just like his mother! The beauty that brings hatred and jealousy to my core. The person that stole the charming man that I fell in love with and who I will never dare let ruin me! I will soon hurt your son and bring the best for my one"
She started to laugh very loudly in an evil way before she looked at the closet. When Su Qing noticed that she was looking at the closet, he then got out of the wardrobe and ran out. But before he even gets far, someone knocks him out from behind and makes him forget what he just heard.
Su Qing's soul was weeping as guards brought him back to his room.
While her son was unconscious, Su Qing's mother started to panic as she walked back and forth in her room.
"Did he overhear me?" Oh god lord. She scratches her face with her sharp nails as blood drips down from her cheeks. "Xia Shu! Come out of my body and tell me when he gets there!"
A ghost came out of her body as she stood in front of her. It was her sister who died in her 20s and possessed her own sister's body for revenge. "Calm down, Xiao Mei."
Xia Shu Life Before Death
Xiao Mei and Xia Shu were born on the same day in the human world. Their father's name was Lang Ju, who is a demon king that killed 20,000 heaven soldiers. While their mother was Dong Su, a human being that likes to play card games in a gambling house.
Before Xia Shu and Xiao Mei went to the demon world with their parents, Xia Shu decided to wander on her own and get harassed by a group of men.
She wasn't a demon like her sister Xiao Mei or her father Lang Ju but a mortal just like her mother. When she was running away from the group of men, they began to throw rocks at her and burn her alive while her whole family tried to look for her.
By the time they found her, everyone started to cry as they buried her beside a small tree.
After her family moves to the demon world, Xiao Mei then meets an immortal and falls in love at first sight. But when she turned 25, she began to notice that there was a beautiful woman who tried to get near her crush. So she decided to kill her without knowing that she had a kid.
"This is what you get for coming near him. I hope you get a good night's sleep."
She sticks her tongue out and walks away.
As the day went by, Wu Chun's name started to get popular so she decided to sneak out to see who it was. When Wun Chun appeared in front of her, she was shocked that her hatred rose even more.
