On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His - Chapter 164

“Volca stop it,” Aqua screamed and rushed towards her. Volca plunged her fingers into Lihua when Lihua tired to take away something from her. Aqua pulled Volca back from Empress Lihua’s side. Empress Lihua was attacked and stabbed right her stomach, not just with her purple sword, but with her eagle claws. Volca looked wild and dangerous. Easily manipulated and controlled. Aqua couldn’t believe that Volca let herself be fooled.

Lihua let out her breath, she had tears in her eyes, Lihua had taken out the seed from Volca, and closed it in her hands. Volca fell unconscious and fell on her side.

Lihua reminded what she saw in the stars of hers, the fate, dying for a great cause. She smiled. She was satisfied that she is dying for the Water Realm in the end.

Huo screamed his lungs out and rushed towards his mother. “Ma,” he said grew angry, he almost exposed himself in front of everyone. Aqua could rewind the tragedy that happened to them both. Everything flashed before her eyes. What Fiona and Aaron did to her and Huo once, what Tai did to the Phoenix family, how prince Feng ended up dying and now his son Luhan, how her family was torn apart and murdered, how every single one of them were tortured by him. She could no longer resist it.

It angered her. Her hatred for Tai grew deeper and the temper heated her heart and vein. She shouted out loud and floated into the sky.

“Aqua, come down,” her father warned her. But she did not listen to anybody. “Come, listen to me,” Aqua’s eyes grew large and she smirked. She extended her arms and let the crystals take control over her. She lifted her arms and along with that, everything came to life. The trees, the plants, the wind, the water, everything rose above, and stood behind her. Her voice turned evil and she said, “I kept warning you all,” she scared everyone. The soldiers started running away for their lives. The wind blew hard and rain falling down heavily. “You asked for this,” she said.

“Aqua don’t,” Queen Rivera shouted at her. “Huo stop her,” she begged. Huo looked at his mother and at Aqua. Rivera rushed over to Lihua’s side and took her hands. “You know you can heal,” she said and concealed the wound with her hand and made Lihua quickly stop bleeding and heal from the inside.

Huo flew towards Aqua. And he blocked her way.

“Move,” she ordered angrily and violently.

“Aqua it’s me,” he said and moved closer to her. He was not scared. “Aqua,” but she did not stop and instead hurt him badly. The cut wound on his chest, which started bleeding. He endured the pain.

“Aqua,” he moved forward again. He took her hands. Aqua did not seem to react. He moved closer and closer. “Aqua, look at me,” he said to her. “It’s me, look at me,” he kept his hand on her cheek, rubbing them with his thumb. “Aqua, love,” he could not believe that it was happening to her, losing herself in the end. “Aqua, Aqua, look at me, it’s me, your senior brother, Huo,” he tired to remind her. He leaned his head on hers, while his body kept getting hurt. Tears fell down his eyes. “Stop,” he begged her. “Control yourself,” he said keeping his hands on her cheek again, looking into her teary eyes. “Aqua I love you, we don’t want any of this, we should go back, and live our life, back to our place, in our world, was that not wonderful? When it was just you and me? so stop this and let’s leave, ” he started tempting her, trying to bring her back. And tired to wake her constantly, by kissing her lips even though she kept pushing him. But he held on to her. Slowly. He did not stop. He wanted to wake her conscious desperately until he could not catch up with his breath as bled from his lips.

“Huo,” she managed to say. She woke up. She did. She had tears flowing down her face. She cried hard. “Huo’er,’ she said again. And she fell down. Losing control over herself. Straight back to ground. But Huo managed to hold on her. “Aqua, you hear me?” He looked into her eyes. “Aqua,”

“Huo,” she got up with him. She hugged him.

The surrounding was calm, silent. The wind had stopped, Water back in its places, trees and roots gone back, everything was back to normal. Lihua sat up and Volca was still unconscious. Tai did not come out at all. Something changed. Lihua’s star was shining bright all of a sudden. Rivera sitting next to her. Milan was back and Aiden stood next to his parents. King Aenon stood there, his fists clenched. He stood firmely.

The troops had left. No one stayed longer, not wanted to fight. Water Realm thrived with new saplings. From the rain Aqua showered with her crystals. The realm looked lively.

King Aenon stood silent. He had nothing to say any longer. He was disappointed. Lihua and Volca apparated and left while Huo was not paying attention to them.

The troops accepted defeat and returned back to the Celestial Palace. Tai was watching it all. He smiled. He did not look surprised. But except one fact. Volca returned along with them. And so did Empress Lihua. He slapped Volca and pretended to be good in front of Lihua. He hugged Empress who was bleeding and asked the guards to summon the doctors immediately to heal her. She pushed away everyone and walked back to her hed chamber, giving a look at Volca in disappointment. Volca followed her. But Emperor stopped her.

“Stay here,” he said. Volca took a deep breath.

“What?” She aksed irritated.

“Where are you leaving, we need to discuss something,”

“We have got nothing to discuss,” she threw what she got in her hand and threw them all at him. But the crazy man laughed out loud while others blocked it for him. She then walked out and went back to her room. She screamed out loud.

There laid three bodies on the flood, choked to death. The three guards she has fun with. She took a few steps backwards. “Oh shit, oh shit, shit,” she then walked towards them to confirm that they are all dead. She could still feel the sore in her body but those men were killed and dead even before they got the chance to put on their clothes.

Emperor walked into the chamber at the same time. He grabbed her by her hair. “See you killed them,” he said. But she was not sure about. She wondered if it’s her or if its him. She could say that it’s not her.

“No, it’s you,” she spoke back. She took his hands off her hair and twisted his arms. Yes as she guessed he was weak inside. She could realize that something was going on with him. And she felt something familiar in his body, like hers.

“Oh my god,” she gasped. She kept her mouth shut. No she has to pretend that she doesn’t know anything. She understood why people die in the Celestial Palace. She understood why the heavenly lower level fairy guards died after serving her. She looked at him with utmost hatred and she stood straight.

“Pa,” she decided to move with him, obey him and try to know him better.

He looked at her.

“What is going on?” She pretended to be a good daughter who care for her father. “Am worried, why are you doing things to me without my consent, and what are you doing here? How can I be kept behind the clouds and expect me to behave as you want me to I can’t know things? I killed Empress almost, today, I can’t keep making such mistake, or was that your real intention?” She asked everything she wanted to ask him straight.

“Do you mean it all? Why do you look worried?” He asked her, sitting on her bed, ordering the fellow guards to take the body away from the room. People only hated Volca more for becoming the reason for the the death of innocent people who pleased her the best. She felt awfully bad for them. But then she got over it reminding herself that she should be a ruthless Demoness and not a soft souled one. Volca walked towards her father and knelt down beside him.

“Pa,” she said again.

“There are no people I trust in this world,” he blurted out.

“Not even brother Aaron when he lived with you?” She asked him.

“No, he was always a fool and walked behind his mother, a spoiled brat, nothing but a womanizer,” he cursed the dead. Volca felt bad but she did not show it.

“Why can you not trust me this time? After all we are the only ones left to call family and blood related for one another,” Emperor Tai looked at Volca’s face in amazement.

“Are you saying….” he began.
