Chapter 74 - Ghost’s Bride (10) (1/2)

The little demon cried while pounding his chest. Cheng Zhi Chu took a few seconds to react and realise that the little guy was the demon that inhabited inside the coin.

Somehow he’s a bit different from what he had imagined……..

Cheng Zhi Chu’s eyes fell onto the demon’s face. The little demon had black hair and yellow eyes. With cat like pupils, he had a cute and delicate appearance. He looked to be a 4 or 5-year-old boy but his body was small, like a doll. Two small sheep-like horns emerged from his dark hair and the small tail behind him swayed.

The little demon’s eyes were filled with tears. He had cried until his nose was red and he looked at Cheng Zhi Chu angrily and grievously. His soft fist weakly fell onto his chest. Although he may have thought that he was venting his anger, it looked more like he was acting spoiled.

“You just don’t want me………”

He pouted. Even his voice trembled. He looked particularly pitiful.

For a moment, Cheng Zhi Chu wavered. He couldn’t be blamed for this. The coins style of speech was filled with temptation, like a kidnapper trying to tempt a child with candy, so he couldn’t help but imagine the demon to take the appearance of a sinister looking man. But the figure before him……….

“I-I’m not actually like this!”

Noticing Cheng Zhi Chu’s strange look, the little demon’s tail straightened, and he pulled out a necklace from inside his shirt collar. He opened a miniature photo frame embellished with a gemstone and showed him the photo inside.

“Look at this!”

Cheng Zhi Chu’s eyes moved from the small demon to the necklace. The photo inside displayed a handsome adult demon with dark hair and yellow eyes that wore a black suit and had his hair tied back. His facial features were very similar to the small demons.

The demon held a white teacup and sat with his legs crossed. With a elegant posture, he looked towards the camera lens with a small smirk that was filled with seductiveness and temptation.

Cheng Zhi Chu: “Oh……….”

Cheng Zhi Chu: “This is your father?”

“…………This is obviously me!”

The little demon cried even more fiercely. He was so angry he was almost out of breath. While crying, he continued to use his soft fists to violently hit Cheng Zhi Chu but, before he was able to hit him a few more times, the groom grabbed him by the wings and held him upside down in the air.

“Let me go! Let me go……..!!”

The little demon struggled in the air and cried out. He looked persistently at Cheng Zhi Chu as if he was asking him for help. Cheng Zhi Chu couldn’t bear seeing this so he gently coughed and said to the groom: “You can let him go.”

The groom heard his words and released his hold. The little demon almost fell to the ground like an onion but, when he was about to touch the ground, he fluttered his wings and flew up. Glaring fiercely at the groom that had grabbed him, he said: “You——–”

“I am now your master.”

The groom’s tone was cold: “You now have nothing to do with Zhi Chu.”

“…………”

The little demon’s expression stiffened.

After a few seconds, a sudden earth-shattering cry rang through the villa.

………….

Through the little demon’s sobs, Cheng Zhi Chu managed to elicit out the origins of the demon.

The demons real name was Chelman. He was a demon made from human’s desire and greed and his original body was a coin.

But he wasn’t originally a demon. He used to be human. Born in a poor family, he was sent to the circus at a young age to become a clown. The clown face on the coin represented his life as a human.

After growing up, because of his outstanding appearance that was revealed after he removed his makeup, many aristocratic girls fell for him. He ended up being taken by one young lady’s noble family and locked inside their basement. After suffering from endless torture, he passed away.

The blood that was spilled when he died fell onto a coin that the noble family had dropped. Later, it was passed through different people and it witnessed countless cases of greed and death. Finally, it awakened and turned into a powerful demon. It then killed the nobles that had killed him in bloody revenge.

Later, Chelman continued to wander around the world as a demon. At the same time, he was being chased after by countless people. He fulfilled the desires of countless people and he also took away the life and souls of countless people. He was extremely dangerous, but he was also very tempting. Although many people knew that there won’t be a good outcome from using the coin, no one could resist its fatal appeal.

“Even Mr. Mu was the same. He didn’t hesitate to accept me and become my master……..”

The little demon muttered.

“But he was different to the others. He had very good luck and he also knew how to use me. With his ability to steal good luck, he not only did not suffer from any bad luck when he used me, his luck instead got better and better, and stronger and stronger.”

“I knew that, if things continued this way, I would never be able to get away from him, so I intended to secretly sneak away but he found out.”

“He said that I can leave, but I would need to seal my powers forever. I naturally couldn’t promise him that, so I set up a trap in the contract. All I needed to do was to find a new owner again for me to release my powers.”

“So, I found you……..”

He looked at Cheng Zhi Chu aggrievedly.

“But again, and again, you rejected me and hurt me. You were the first person that has rejected me so many times. I almost lost all my dignity!”

“Even until the very end, he took away your chance and I mistakenly contracted him. Now I have become like this!!”

The little demon’s small finger pointed at the groom. The grooms body turned towards him and he let out a cold aura causing the little demon’s heart to tremble. He could deeply feel how dangerous and terrible the groom is and was completely unable to fight back.

…………Dammit. Why is this headless ghost so strong? He seems to want to kill him……..No, this isn’t because he is not strong enough. It’s because something went wrong with the contract and most of his powers were still sealed!!

Chelman’s tail fell. He had just stopped crying but his eyes had turned red again. Cheng Zhi Chu saw this and quickly spoke up.

“But no matter what, someone had to become your master. According to the agreement, you have to take us to Mr. Mu’s residence and help us find the head. This is what you promised.”

“I clearly wanted you to be my master.”

Chelman’s golden eyes looked towards Cheng Zhi Chu. He spoke extremely reluctantly: “Then you swear. If I get rid of this guy in the future, you must become my master again. After you do that, I’ll take you there.”

But just as he finished saying that, he was violently picked up by the back collar of his shirt by the groom. Ignoring his struggles, he spoke coldly: “You have no right to ask.”

“Bleh~”

The little bear sitting on Cheng Zhi Chu’s shoulder also stuck out its tongue to mock the demon. It even turned around and shook its tail at Chelman. It was clearly making fun of him.

Small beads of tears instantly fell from the little demon’s eyes. Seeing the was about to let out another loud cry, Cheng Zhi Chu immediately coughed and placed his palm on the back of the groom’s hand: “Forget it………”

He turned to Chelman and said: “We can’t talk about this later………I will think about it.” He didn’t agree with Chelman’s request, but he also didn’t immediately reject it. He was afraid that if he rejected the request, Chelman would not help him out of anger.

“………..Remember your words.”

Chelman with red eyes and puffed cheeks stretched his arm out and placed the blood red coin in his hand. He didn’t give it to the groom and just stubbornly gave it to Cheng Zhi Chu.

“You use it. Think of your wish and then throw it.”

“That…….I’ll do it?” Cheng Zhi Chu held onto the coin and looked at the groom. He felt a little pressured. In fact, he was worried about his poor luck and the possibility of getting the devils side.

“I asked you to do it so you do it!” Chelman was very angry.

“Okay then.”

Cheng Zhi Chu nodded his head. He thought of his wish internally.

Find Mr. Mu’s residence and successfully get back the groom’s and Bai Yi’s head.

He flicked his thumb up and the coin flipped around in the air several times before falling back into his palm. It was the clown’s face.

[As you wish……..]

A low, whisper-like voice sounded.

“You can leave now.”

Chelman restored his expression back to normal and his golden eyes glowed faintly, like those of a snake. It gave those seeing it a cold feeling.

Cheng Zhi Chu nodded and looked at Bai Xi Xing who had been standing there for a long time without saying anything: “Will then senior, I’ll go find Mr. Mu’s residence…….I will definitely bring Bai Yi back. Please rest assured.”
