Incarnation Of Gods: Endless War - Chapter 239

Third-person POV   Weisheng and Lu Ping both were surprised to hear the voice

appeared out of nowhere. It took them a few seconds to process what happened

and the quick-witted Lu Ping knew that it would be troublesome if Weisheng

answered the anonymous person when Weisheng was in an extremely bad mood.   Lu Ping also deeply aware that the owner of the voice was

not someone he should offend since he could use such an outworld spell-like

waking up the rotting corpses from the ground. Lu Ping graciously stepped

forward and bowed with his fist cupped.   “If I may ask, who is this esteemed elder?” Lu Ping politely

inquired.   “Elder? I am the guardian of the Cursed Land! The Demon of

Mischievous, Tao Qi! How dare you mortals intrude my land and destroyed

everything?!” Tao Qi bellowed with his real voice.   (A/N: Tao Qi is the demon of mischievous, that’s why he has the body of a child. But he used his demon voice a.k.a real voice when he talked to

Weisheng. And that’s why Lu Ping addressed him as an esteemed elder because his

voice is very deep and sounds like an old man that smoked too many cigarettes.)   Lu Ping and Weisheng stared at each other as they hadn’t met

real demon in their life. They only heard about the demons from books and

stories therefore it was shocking to find the guardian of the Cursed Land to be

a demon rather than a spirit. Lu Ping quickly regained his composure and beamed

a friendly smile.   “Ah~ Our apologies, we came here to find something and didn’t

mean to disturb your rest. And if it is not a blunder of mine to ask, do you

happen to see a lady with injuries in her eyes?” Lu Ping disregarded Tao Qi’s

rampage and went straight to the point.   “Lady? There is none. Even if there is, she would be dead as

soon as she entered. You asked a question and I answered it. Now scram!” Tao Qi

roared.   Weisheng narrowed his eyes in suspicion and thrust his sword

to the ground. His dark power flowed from his sword to the ground and caused

the ground to shook fiercely that it caught Tao Qi off guard.   As a result of the tremor that Weisheng caused, tiny

bits of pebbles and soil feel from the ceiling. Tao Qi quickly put on a

protective shield around Hong er and him in fear the ceiling of the cave

collapsed and killed the currently fragile Hong er.   Hong er tugged Tao Qi’s collar and incoherently scolded him.

But Tao Qi only patted her hand to reassure Hong er as he had a more important

business to deal with Weisheng. Tao Qi stared at Weisheng’s crimson’s eyes with

black sclera surrounding it which ridiculously similar to a demon’s eyes when

they use their power.   ‘This mortal brat is demon descendant? No, it is impossible,

it must be only a pure coincidence. If a demon had a child whether it is with other

demon or another species, they have to take full responsibility of the child

and must not be thrown to the human world as it will disturb the balance of the

world.   Maybe a noble family was blessed with red eyes like a demon when I was resting in the mountain. But is it possible for a mere noble

human to change the color of its sclera?’ Tao Qi racked his brain whilst biting

his nail.   Then he parted his lips to ask, “The guy with red eyes.

Which family are you from?”   Weisheng’s brows twitched in annoyance, “The f*ck do I have

to tell you?”   Weisheng’s usually aloof image disappeared as the anger had

eaten up his brain. Hong er strictly prohibited him to curse as she was afraid

that their child would follow the bad behavior. As there was a saying, children

are a reflection of the parents.   Moreover, they are public figures and showing such crude behavior to the public is very disgraceful for the Liu Royal Family. If

by any chance, other kids followed the behavior that their emperor and princes

displayed, it would stain their reputation even in the eye of the commoners.

However, he didn’t care any of that. As long as he can see his wife, he would

do anything.   “I am asking you a question and you just need to answer it,

you mortal. Your red eyes, is it a blessing? Since when?” Tao Qi demanded as

his voice grew firmer.   A surge of Weisheng’s dark power exploded and caused the

trees around him to blown away, “Liu family, 112 years ago.”   “Liu family? I never heard of that name.” Tao Qi

nonchalantly spoke.   “My great great great grandparents saved a spirit king that

was detained by the previous emperor. Therefore, granted the blessing of the

spirit king. Satisfied?” Weisheng said grudgingly.   Tao Qi’s lips formed into a wide grin and laughed hysterically,

‘Spirit king? More like, a demon king!’   Weisheng shoot another wave of his dark power into his dark

power and created a hollow on the ground where he was standing.   Tao Qi’s brows arched in interest as his true nature started

to re-surface from seeing Weisheng’s rampage reaction.   “I know enough. So don’t destroy my favorite mountain. It filled

with too many corpses and it is hard for me to clean up the mess. I swear under

God of Darkness, Hei An, that no one entered the Cursed Land today expect you

bunch.” Tao Qi purposely silenced the ‘today’ word and only lip-synced the

word.   With his palm placed on his chest, an enormous red magic

circle appeared above the mountain where he was hiding.   Weisheng and Lu Ping

were instantly convinced that Tao Qi wasn’t lying when there was no lightning

struck the magic circle. This act has been done for a long time and one of

the most ancient spell that was still being used nowadays.   It was very simple.

One had to swear under the god that they were serving, the stronger the god is,

the more effective it is. Usually human with average power couldn’t use the spell

because it consume abundant amount of Qi depends on the rank of the god that

they swore under.   So they called a

priest or anyone that had enough Qi to perform the spell which generally needs

a lot of money. And the most usual god that people chose is the five main

element god or goddess.   The name of Goddess

of Light, Sheng Jie, was only used on special cases such as noble trial which

rarely happens regarding how disgraceful it is to lose the trial.   Since Tao Qi is a

demon, the god that he served under is undoubtedly Hei An, God of Darkness. The

consequence if the statement that they declared was different from the truth is

lightning would strike them 3 times.   Knowing that the last

resort proved that Hong er wasn’t in the Cursed Land, Weisheng retracted his

dark power and unsummoned his sword.   Weisheng reluctantly

stepped forward and bowed, “I apologize for my misbehavior. We will leave this

instance.”   “Hmph! You had offended

me once, don’t you dare step even a foot in my land ever again!”   They turned around and left the Cursed Land with an

extremely depressed on their faces. But Tao Qi didn’t manage to see it as he

immediately closed his water mirror the moment Weisheng decided to withdraw.   Hong er that had been standing behind him sighed in relief

when the earthquake finally stopped. Then she took his small hand with her

rough slender hand.   ‘Don’t push yourself too hard.’ Hong er drew a smiley face

with two small horns on top.   Tao Qi’s face softened as his heart filled with an indescribable

emotion.   “You are the only person that genuinely cares about me

despite knowing that I am a demon king.” Tao Qi patted her head.   He grabbed his hand and excitedly wrote, ‘We are family, I am

your grandfather and you are my granddaughter.’   He ended with a drawing of his and Hong er’s smiling face

next to each other but with a halo on top of Hong er’s head.   “Devil and angel? What a weird combination!” Tao Qi laughed

at his weird imagination.
