Demon King/The Parting of the Orchid and Cang - Chapter 83.2

Chapter 83.2
The finger of Dong Fang Qing Cang does not know what to do. It briefly froze in the atmosphere. In the end, he withdrew his hand, controlled his expression, and silently left.

After leaving the room and closing the door, Dong Fang Qing Cang closed eyes, but consciousness spread everywhere. Does not need to use eyes and he can also see the most truthful part of this world. Siming’s room appeared to have disappeared. Flowers and grass did not remained. There was only Little Orchid hugging the knees and curled up alone on the ground.

Her expression was vacant and she did not know what to do.

Perhaps she has remembered something. Perhaps those were many unhappy matters…

Previously, there was no refrain, but currently, seeing the appearance of Little Orchid like this, Dong Fang Qing Cang felt that he couldn’t. He wanted to be by her side. If possible, he wanted to use powers to erase the crease above her eyebrows. He wanted to get wash away the derelict in her eyes.

Forever until this point, he has asked his heart—has regretted?

Yes, he has regretted.

Has done wrong?

Yes, he has done wrong.

If time was turned back and can restart from the beginning, he will not use her, deceive her, think he was correct, and played her between the palms of his hand.

But at this very moment, Dong Fang Qing Cang has discovered that the reason he regretted wasn’t because he was uncomfortable, but rather this little flower demon was uncomfortable.

He wanted her to be forever like the time before—casual and worry-free while always smiling happily.

Closing the consciousness back, Dong Fang Qing Cang leaned against the door as if [he] was a sculpture.

That night, Little Orchid dreamed. In the dream, she screamed incessantly, “Big devil, big devil.” She saw many people, and dreamt many matters—Haotian tower, demon realm, Xie Wanqing, Qian Yin Mountain, demon capital Jiu You, and even Zhuxian Terrace…

She dreamed herself endlessly struggling. She would cry and beg “Big devil” to not disperse her into medicine, but in the end, she still disappeared in the quiet darkness…

But not for long, the world slowly brightened. In the bright sunlight of the day, Little Orchid saw on the far mountain there was a person with black clothes silently waiting. Regardless of when, she would always see him stand there like a mountain, unmovable, and never changed.

He also peered at her. Within the pair of vivid-red eyes, there were no hostile energies, but only tender silence remaining.

Little Orchid opened wide her pair of eyes. She woke up and left the dream. She peered afar at the ceiling.

There were many memories bellowing and surging. Little Orchid was silent for a long while. In the end, mental state has stably returned.

She stretched out hands and silently peered at her pair of hands.

She got off the bed. She did not get to drape a coat over and also did not wear shoes as she stepped outside and opened the room’s door.

The daylight slightly leaned toward the west. The figure of the person wearing black and silver hair was still silently standing there. Hearing the sounds of the door opening, Dong Fang Qing Cang immediately turned head around. In that pair of blood-red eyes, has printed boldly and engraved deeply her eyes. Little Orchid silently peered at him without speaking. He also silently peered at her, for quite a while until spoken up, “What, today still does not want to see me?’ Voice has three parts contain rare sarcasm.

Little Orchid moved her lips. Did not get to form into words as on the side, the door was suddenly pushed with Siming and Chang Yuan entering.

Siming turned head to peer in their direction, “What, it’s early in the morning and has already argued…” Without saying a word, Little Orchid immediately ran barefoot and thumping toward that direction. She hugged Siming while crying.

Siming was stupefied while Chang Yuan on the side was dazed.

After a long while, Siming patted her back and turned head around to angrily scold at Dong Fang Qing Cang, “This bastard man! Bullying her?!”

Dong Fang Qing Cang merely peered at Little Orchid’s silhouette and slightly furrowed his brows.

From that day onwards, Little Orchid does not seem any different, but if seriously speaking, saying that something was not right was the matter of her avoiding Dong Fang Qing Cang farther. Only needed him there and her expression was like wood—no speaking and no smile.

Thus, all day Dong Fang Qing Cang would fly above the courtyard that Siming would draw while looking at Little Orchid from afar.

He originally thought that he only needed to see her like this and that will do as she wanted it to be like this. He will also live with her like this. But Dong Fang Qing Cang has overestimated his patience.

On one beautiful day, Siming was teaching Little Orchid to draw. Chang Ming stood behind her and would hold hand while softly whispering besides her ears. Little Orchid lifted her head and Chang Ming’s lips accidentally touched her cheeks.

Chang Ming’s face immediately reddened, but still appeared to be calm whereas Little Orchid was carefree and laughed teasingly at him.

The house Siming drew naturally has beams, but did not obstruct the consciousness of Dong Fang Qing Cang.

Seeing such scenery, the anger inside his heart flared up without anything able to suppress it. Thus that night, Little Orchid was sleeping and Dong Fang Qing Cang has blasted the room’s door with one kick. Little Orchid’s gaze became surprised. He casts a spell on her face. Little Orchid immediately fainted.

After all…Dong Fang Qing Cang was still forever the bad person.

Siming and Chang Yuan inside their room heard and saw the room’s movement. They followed after. But in the sky there were no longer the energies of Dong Fang Qing Cang left.

Only a note was left at the table of Little Orchid’s room that read: “Has disturbed for many days, will be bringing person away.”

Siming tossed the paper away and then pounded the table while scolding, “Bastard! Left without leaving behind wedding gifts for me! Does not know manners!”
