The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

Chapter 295-296

295: The Blocked Seven Emotional States

The commander probably lost interest in ordinary humans, given the bloodline of the three guys he was engaging. Compared to them, Demon Wind and Zi Cheng may as well just disappear into the background.

They wouldn’t have to worry about their lives unless both Jier and Ming Xi lost.

Feng Wu didn’t attract the commander’s attention either, but Xiao Chun did. Although the sword’s aura wasn’t strong, it somehow still made the commander leery.

The commander didn’t move when Xiao Chun purified the miasma around the area. Instead he was observing and reminiscing something in the past. He remembered the sword in a distant memory. But where? When?

He grasped his head in pain. It was like he’d forgotten something very important, something related to the sword, but what was it?! How was the sword in his memories?

His face contorted and the redness of his eyes seemed to fade a little.

“What’s going on?” Demon Wind didn’t understand how the demon commander, who had seemed so majestic just a moment ago, now looked so pained.

Ming Xi and Jier were also confused by the sudden change.

It seemed like he became like this after Xiao Wu asked him if he was sick. Was the question that hard to answer?

After Xiao Chun finished with the pond, he ate the miasma forming the two black dragons and the hairs attacking Ming Xi, then promptly proceeded to burp out pure energy.

With the black dragons and strands of hair gone, Jier and Ming Xi rushed to guard the silly girl who seemed unaware of the danger.

“Senior Ming Xi, what’s wrong with him?” Jier couldn’t figure it out so he did the next best thing: ask his senior. As a senior, Ming Xi was obligated to solve the puzzle for his juniors.

Too bad for Jier, Ming Xi didn’t understand why either. “I don’t know. Everyone, be careful. He doesn’t look right.” Ming Xi stared at the commander cautiously.

“I thought it was weird. This demon is a little off. I can’t explain the feeling. He just feels off somehow.” Jier scratched his head, unable to put his own feelings in words. He had been too busy fighting to think about it earlier, but now that he had time to think, he was positive there was something wrong with the demon.

“His emotions and desires are sealed. The only thing left is the need to kill. Of course you would find it strange.” Ming Xi said.

Both Jier and Demon Wind were shocked to hear this. “Could Lord Longze have done this?!”

Demon Wind didn’t understand why Longze, his idol, would do something like this, but for him, Longze was the strongest person and therefore could do no wrong.

Ming Xi shook his head at what Demon Wind said. “It wouldn’t be Lord Longze. He has no reason to do so.”

Longze sealed the demon to protect the world so there was no reason for him to seal the demon’s emotions but leave behind the desire to kill. No matter how you looked at it, it was an impossible thing for Longze to do.

Anyone with a brain would have figured it out.

“Could the Demon Ancestor[notes] have done it?” speculated Jier. He knew it couldn’t be Longze so he considered other possible candidates. The only other entity strong enough to seal a demon lord commander was the Demon Ancestor.

“The Demon Ancestor must have done it to control his subordinates. He sealed their emotions and desires so they’d fight for him!” Demon Wind suddenly realized.

Ming Xi couldn’t figure out who would do such a thing, but there weren’t many who had the ability. He didn’t think there were any human masters in the world at that time who could.

“Can you unlock his seal?” Jier asked.

“You want to release his seven emotions?! What if he becomes even more powerful?!” Demon Wind shook his head in fright; he was against the idea.

Ming Xi shook his head. “Maybe my father can do it, but I can’t. The person who did it is too strong.”

Once Xiao Chun finished eating all the miasma around the area, his attention turned to the big guy holding his head in his hands. The guy emanated danger, but he was also very delicious looking! Should he try to eat him? If he ate the guy, his powers would definitely increase. . . 

In the end, Xiao Chun couldn’t resist such a delicious temptation, and so rushed toward the demon commander. His master had prepared all this food, how could he not eat it? If worse came to worse and things got too dangerous, he could always fly back to his master. Until then he was duty bound to not turn back! Forward!

Xiao Chun, with his pure white power, zipped straight toward the demon commander’s head.

The commander, perhaps sensing the impending danger, raised his head coldly and easily blocked Xiao Chun with one hand.

Xiao Chun was stopped a meter away. He couldn’t move forward but that didn’t mean he couldn’t nibble on the demonic miasma pouring out of the demon commander. It was his instinct to purify. If it weren’t for the fact that he had Feng Wu as a master, he would have already gone to the demon realm and become a glutton.

Xiao Chun’s light became purer as the seconds progressed. The battle between the commander and Xiao Chun was much more fierce than the combined one between Ming Xi and Jier.

The demonic aura around the commander was chaotic as his aura kept being purified by Xiao Chun. The red tint in his eyes gradually faded away as well.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chun was getting more and more uncomfortable as he purified the demon commander’s aura. The guy was too strong. Xiao Chun had to use a lot of energy to forcefully purify. Xiao Chun’s own body was getting darker and darker. It looked like he was suffering from damage. Feng Wu sensed Xiao Chun’s weakening so she forcibly called him back. He flew weakly back to her side, looking a little embarrassed.

296: The Heavens Are Falling and the Earth is Breaking

“That sword’s way too powerful!” Demon Wind looked at Feng Wu and Xiao Chun enviously. When would he be able to wield such an awesome weapon?

Luckily he already had a Black lotus flower. With that, the master would forge him something, and Demon Wind island would also have an amazing weapon of destruction!

His current demon blade was pretty good, but having another holy level item was always welcome. Who would reject having an extra?

No one was in the mood to pay attention to Demon Wind.

Even after Xiao Chun returned, the redness in the demon commander’s eyes kept fading, until it disappeared altogether. It was probably because some of his aura had purified so the intense killing desire faded away.

An image appeared in the commander’s mind.

“Miè, promise this sister that you will always guard the king, stay by his side, and be the sword in his hand, eliminate his enemies.”

“Elder Sister, the king does not sincerely love you. Why do you do so much for him?”

“Miè, you don’t understand. I would betray the whole world for him. If you still recognize me as your sister, then promise me!”

“Elder Sister, aren’t you aware what he wants to do? He wants to take over the human world and turn it into a new demon realm. Have you ever thought what would happen if it works?! We finally have peace in the three realms. I don’t want to see the tragedy of ten thousand years ago repeat itself!”

“When did you get so softhearted Miè? It’s an honor for humans to sacrifice for our new demon world.”

“Elder Sister, I am sorry, but I can not promise this. I just want to live in seclusion. You can rest assured, I will not side with either the new Demon Emperor against the Demon Ancestor.”

“No! There are only twelve of us commanders. Everyone else has defected to that person’s side. You are the strongest of the twelve. If you leave, what will the king do?! Miè, you’re not allowed to leave! -cough cough- ”

“Elder Sister, you’re hurt. Please stop talking and rest so you can heal your injuries.”

“No, I don’t have much time. You have to promise to protect the king and be his sword!”

“No, Elder Sister, you will be fine. I will find a potion to heal you.”

“It’s useless. There’s no way to save me. I beg you with my final breath, promise me, your elder sister, that you will protect the king forever.”

“I. . . I promise. I will protect the king.”

“Thank you. You really are a good brother.”

“Elder Sister, what did you just do?”

“I didn’t do anything. It’s just that you’re too softhearted. In order to make you the strongest sword in the king’s hands, all that excess kindness and gentleness has to go. . .  Miè, be at ease. You will be the king’s sword.”

“Ah! Ah!” The commander cried out in a voice laced with sorrow and pain. He remembered. He regained the memories lost from thousands of years ago.

“Destroyed?! Why would you do this to me?! I’m your brother! Why?! Why?! Why?!” He looked up to the sky with eyes filled with pain and despair.

To be conspired against by the sister he grew up with just so she would have her love return to the throne. She didn’t have any considerations for him as her brother at all!

The roar shook the entire underground and the temple began to collapse as a tsunami blew up from the sea.

The clouds rolled in and darkened the sky, while lightning and thunder appeared.

The waves rolled and surged hundreds of feet high as they clashed against the sky before slamming into Demon Wind island. The people on the island had just escaped from the miasma danger, but now the sea threatened them.

“Ah! Help, I don’t want to die!”

“Help! I’m being washed away!”

“Please give me a hand!”

“Why is this happening?! What’s going on?!”

Their heads had just cleared from the miasma that Xiao Chun purified, so they were still getting their bearings, when waves inundated the island. Many were unprepared and were washed out to sea.

Heavy rain pummeled the island, forcing it to slowly sink from all the pressure. Thunder and lightning created a cacophony of light and sound in the air. The fierce combination of the lambasting wind and rain drowned out the cries of the people and roar of the creatures.

Underground, water rushed into the tunnels as the earth cracked. The entire underground temple was filling up with water.

“Quickly, let’s get out of here!” yelled out Ming Xi.

“It’s too late!” was Jier’s reply.

Yes it was too late. The entire underground was nearly submerged in water and soon the entire place would be flooded.

The demon lord commander calmed down after his initial roar. He didn’t stop the flooding though, he just coldly watched as it happened. What was going on in his mind?

Demon Wind was fine, protected as he was by the water crystal. It didn’t matter if he was on dry land or underwater.

Little Seven was not a water creature so floods were not her thing. The clever girl had returned to the spirit world the moment water started entering the underground.

The spirit world was home to all manner of magical beasts: precious ones from antiquity, ancient ones, powerful ones, holy ones, mythical ones, all kinds.

Magical beasts stayed in the spirit world until their masters summoned them to fight. Little Seven was a divine beast who originally lived in the spirit realm. She could go back anytime she wanted. A divine beast like her wouldn’t live in the human realm.

It was easy for Little Seven to escape by returning to the spirit realm, but it wasn’t as easy for everyone else. In the current situation, it wasn’t possible to use a teleportation scroll to leave.

Feng Wu created a water barrier around herself with qi.

The rapid waters broke many of the stone walls and pillars, so half the temple had collapsed already. They were all pushed out to sea through a crack in the temple wall.

The open sea wasn’t any calmer. The fishes and monsters were swimming and screaming madly. In the distance a volcano erupted. Other islanders were also affected by the heavy rain.

In the midst of all the chaos, a black-haired man stood on a cliff looking at the raging sea. His eyes were full of love and gentleness, but there was also a trace of helplessness in them as well. He raised an arm and flicked a finger. A golden ball of holy light flew out to the sea. It kept flying until it disappeared from sight. josei
