On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His - Chapter 170
General Hawk informed the Demon King about the information on slave seed Volca passed down from the Celestial Palace after being the victim of it.
Huo looked at General Hawk and wondered if he should believe the girl anymore, after seeing his mother get severely hurt by her claws and it gave him chills and more hatred, but still he wanted to give her one final chance, taking pity on her.
“What should we do? Am sure that if this leaks, this could lead to several problems if breaking the law that would effect both heaven and hell equally. What should we do?” He asked the Demon King for decision. But knowing the plight well, Huo’er had nothing to ponder over. He simply said it in one simple sentence.
“Destroy it secretly and surprise Tai when he arrives to get them, he will love it,” Huo’er said and continued reading petition sitting on the throne and waited for his King’s guard to bring the spies he appointed inside the Celestial palace and the water palace.
Ever since he saw Aqua hurt, he did not like to Keeo her nor feel safe about her in her own house. He was that affairs of losing her.
“You may leave taking this order of mine, the lesser the people, the little you will get noticed, don’t go this way, disguise yourself as merchants and do the deed, use the hell fire,” Huo’er instructed. General Hawk took them well and showed.
“Thank you, your higness,” he said. And he left the court. General called for Volca instantly. He sent a dummy eagle to her with a message. An hour later, she arrived at the Demon’s castle and General Hawk welcomed her. They made sure that nobody is following her. He took her inside and took her before the King. Her heart got excited to see him, dancing inside crazily. Going to see him after a long time.
“Is he in there?” She asked General Hawk all happily.
“Yes, he is, he has returned to stay,” she was informed.
“He is not supposed leave ever, let him know, what if the civilians know?” She worried.
“Nobody would know anything, he knows how to take care of all of it,” General Hawk assured the Demoness. She smiled and looked at him. “You are so into him, uncle Hawk,” she reminded him.
“I an loyal to him, I was to his father, I will always be for the Demon Realm,” he educated her.
General Hawk opened the heavy doors of the court room again, but he was not there, the King, Huo. General Hawk looked at Volca instantly. Her smiling face turned sad. He shook his head and let her know..
He shut the door behind him and aksed the guards.
“He left back to his chamber once he finished reading the petitions,” one of the guards told them.
“Let’s go,” General Hawk said looking at Volca and walked towards King’s Chamber in the castle.
They knocked on the doors and let King Huo know about their presence.
“Come in,” he ordered them. General Hawk opened the doors and Volca walked in. With pride and a smile. She looked Huo who was walking towards his study carrying a book from the shelves. He was wearing no top but just a cloak that revealed the ripped body of his. From neck down his navel, his fair smooth skin, the the perfect abs and the belly button. He had a mole below the belly button on the right. Volca exhaled, and held on to her own hands tight. Volca’s heart skipped a beat and she swallowed hard. She exhaled. “Lucky bitch,” she cursed Aqua inside her head. He did not look at the two of them, busy with busy with his works. Volca broke the silence.
“Your higness,” she said and called him. Huo’er who sat on the chairs, lifted his head and looked from the book and looked at her.
“There you are,” he said. He was not angry nor did he show any hatred towards her for what she had done to his mother. Volca was relieved thinking that he has let the matter go and forgave her as usual, unaware how deep the hatred was for him towards her.
“Come in come in,” he called the two off them.
General Hawk and Volca walked towards the study. She tried her best to avoid him. Tried to avoid looking at him. To avoid looking at the heart fluttering, mind swaying, mouthwatering body of his. She coughed and cleared her throat. She blushed all along.
“Sit down,” he said to both of them.
“We’re fine,” General Hawk said.
“Brother Huo’er,” Volca accidentally mentioned him like she did in their school days. Huo did not like that. He stopped writing, dropped the pen and looked straight at her.
“Don’t ever call me that again,” he ordered her. It immediately sent a wave of embarrassment and heart attack to Volca’s heart. She did not expect to get the warning first.
“Sorry,” she apologised. She realized how much he hates everything related to their old days.
“Your highness,”
“Your highness,” General Hawk called again to distract him from his temper.
“Yes,” he replied.
“I think we will destroy the slave seed crop by tonight ourselves. I called Volca for that,”
“Hmm, alright, we will go ourselves then,” he said and looked at General Hawk who was confused.
“We? You mean?” General Hawk asked him.
“The three of us,” he said and looked at Volca.”No?” He asked her.
“Ofocurse yes,” she said excitedly.
Her heart skipped a beat again when they made eye contact for milliseconds.
“Oh!” General Hawk could not find any other words to say out loud.
“Do not call the guards or anyone, it has high chances of leaking, let the three of us do it and destroy the poison. Huo got up from his seat, and he looked at Volca and extended his arms, to see if she is possessed with anything or to see if her body contains any sorts of pills or medications. He scanned her. And he found that she is okay. There were nothing in her body which manipulates her controls her form within. He smiled. “You are good to go,”
“Great,” General Hawk said happily.
Huo’er walked back to his bed and took the top he had put there. He quickly put on his clothes and did his hair. He was looking perfect in his King’s costume which had dragons embroidery, for a Demon.
The three soon got out of the palace in disguise. Voice dressed up as a peasant girl while the men dressed into merchants costume.
They used the route of the Demon market instead apparating directly to the mountain in the middle of the dessert itself to not attract anybody. The routes were not crowded, a path less traveled. Threre were no inhabitants on their way, no signs of any more life. Volca felt relieved about that.
‘Its a farm minimum of one hector, he and I have decided to join forces. He said the truth to me when I asked him to be each other’s allies,”
“We will see,” the king said and travelled forward, further. “But are you okay with it?” He asked her since it’s her father she finally found out about.
“Why would I not be?” She asked him back. Huo did not ask anything further.
And an hour worth of journey later, they reached the moutian. But they did not know about which part of the moutian has the crops growing. He flew to the sky, floated and mediated, trying to to search the palace. Huo withdrew his sword.
“What happened?” General Hawk asked.
“There are things here,” Huo informed the two.
“What?” General Hawk was surprised to listen to it. He looked around.
“The invisible beast,” she replied instead. She also withdrew her weapons.
“Stay alert,” king warned his people and they walked around the palace.
Suddenly something jumped on them and Luckily Huo had good senses that alerted the arrival and he started fighting. He stabbed the beast’s chest while the others fought along. It was an ape. It did look scary and ferocious and he did care about it. He just slit open the center of the beast and killed it.
“So it must be here,” he said and walked towards a cave like entrance. He touched the invisible barriers and got shocked from it. He decided to use his powers and see if it works or if he would end up using Volca’s to match her father’s powers.
Within few minutes, he destroyed the barrier himself. And he aksed general Hawk and Volca to walk in and destroy the illegal farm.
Volca found them inside the caves with General Hawk. Volca noticed the water connection that keeps the plant wet and fresh all the time, to grow. General hawk destroyed the water connection. And the moment the water line broke, the plants started to ripen, everything turning into bright yellow colour. And without thinking twice, Huo slashed all the plants and destroyed them with his hell fire. Then he asked Volca and General Hawk to clean the place quickly, and make it look like the other parts of dessert and moutian. Not even the ashes remained after they burned it down. They made look like a dry rocky place.
“It’s done,” Huo’er said to his two people. Volca looked excited and gave him a little more information about how she had won Emperor Tai’s attention and trust.
“Be careful around him, listening to everything you narrated right now, he does not look like a person who respects his family except the throne,” Volca did not need that reminder since she knows it well. The sun was about to set, and the night began to fall, the twilight turning darker every minute.
It is then, Huo received an owl suddenly there at the site. Not raven or eagles, not Falcons, but a unique white owl. He took the letter and read them. He was shocked. He immediately apparated, leaving without saying proper goodbye or giving instructions.”Don’t wait up for me, you two return back home, am in a hurry,”
“What’s in that letter?” Volca asked Hawk.
“Probably something dangerous that needs his attention,”
“Could it be…” Volca began.
