Chapter 24 - Captured! The Demon King is so Miserable (2/2)

“You’re obviously a beast. How could you be my aunt? My aunt has died a long time ago.” She thought she just heard a joke just now.

Lan Shui smiled bitterly, “Xuan’Er, have you awakened the unique bloodline, beast-taming ability?”

Nan Xun shook her head, “No.”

Lan Shui bowed her head, “No wonder. From awakening the inherited ability, there were many unique secrets and forbidden techniques in beast-taming. Among them, there is a powerful forbidden technique called soul eater…”

When I was Zuili Lan Xin, I was injured during the war and my spiritual strength was severely damaged and I could no longer control beasts. However, Zuili Lan Xin was a natural genius in cultivation, even if I couldn’t control beasts.

But even then, the elders of the Zuili family made a desperate decision.

They used a soul extraction technique to pull Zuili Lan Xin’s soul out of her body and placed it into a golden python.

Zuili Lan Xin was forced into the giant golden python’s body and the vessel contained two souls. In order to fully possess the new body, following the elders’ wishes, she had to use a forbidden soul eating technique to swallow its soul.

Nan Xun has long felt disgust towards the old men but didn’t think they were capable of doing anything horrible to this extent.

Lan Shui saw her angry expression and couldn’t help but smile. “Don’t blame the elders. This was my wish. I am willing to do anything for the Zuili family and help them destroy the bloodthirsty Demon King as soon as possible. This is for the peace and prosperity of mankind.”

Nan Xun felt at that moment, that Lan Shui was shining all over her body and the dazzling golden light almost blinded her.2

Nan Xun was upset for her aunt Lan Xin but didn’t expect that she was willing to do it.

“Child, you have been living with the blood thirsty Demon King for these years. It must have been really hard on you, but it’s good that you poisoned the Demon King. It gave the Qinglong and Divine Serpent clan an opportunity to capture that beast alive. You’re the hero for all of mankind, we are proud of you.”

Nan Xun was shocked.

Wait, what is her aunt talking about? Why doesn’t she understand a word?

“What she meant was that because you administer poison unique to the Zuili clan to the Demon King, it led to his defeat. The Demon King is now confined into a cage, being whipped all day long and ended up miserable.” The void beast kindly explained.

“Come on, I know what she meant. What I don’t understand is, when did I administer poison to Xue Ming?” Nan Xun was a bit grumpy.

“I don’t know.” The void beast fell silent after replying.

Nan Xun wanted to kill the void beast.

“Xuan’Er, go back, aunt won’t take you.” Lan Shui suddenly said, her eyes looked into the distance with melancholy.

Nan Xun suddenly returned from her consciousness and asked: “Aunt, why don’t you return to the clan with me?”

Zuili Lan Xin touched her head and smiled. “Aunt has already become neither a human nor a beast. I have no face to go back to the Zuili family and no courage to face the clan. Xuan’Er, go on.”

Nan Xun opened her mouth and wanted to persuade her but couldn’t say a word.

“Go on.” Zuili Lan Xin urged.

Nan Xun turned back ten times to the gently smiling woman behind her, but by the last time she looked, she had disappeared.

“Don’t look, she has long wanted to die. Now that the Demon King is captured, she lost her reason to live.” The void beast said.

“Are you saying she will commit suicide?” Nan Xun was shocked. But when she thought about it, she understood. “She has been hiding her identity for so many years. As a person, she had to find a way to blend in with the beasts and must have felt bitter in her heart. Now she is finally free.”

The void beast remained silent.

Nan Xun suddenly felt her footsteps were heavy.
