The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

Chapter 297-298

297: Little Bun Saves the World

“If you don’t want to see people suffer, why don’t you stop the demon commander from coming out?” A man in white appeared next to the black-haired man. The newcomer was as handsome as an immortal, with long dark hair that contrasted strikingly against his white robe. He looked like he had just stepped out of a painting. If you looked closely though you would see that his figure was vague, as though he wasn’t corporeal.

“This was the world consciousness’s decision. The only ones who can change it are those who are a part of this world’s consciousness.” An Shengyuan[notes] was calm.

White[notes] shook his head. “As the head of Xingguang Holy Academy, are you sure you don’t want to stop this? If you don’t interfere, I’m afraid the whole maritime world will shatter and many will die.”

Though the expression on his face was still compassionate, An Shengyuan shook his head. “Their fates can not be changed by me. You should know the reason I was able to stay in the human world back then was because I promised the upper boundaries I wouldn’t interfere and break the fixed trajectory of the human world.”

“But this time it’s the head of the twelve demon commanders, Mei the Exterminator. Are you sure the guys from your school can handle this?” White was confident in his little apprentice,[notes] but he wasn’t at all confident in the other guys.

“Are you forgetting your precious disciple is amongst them?” An Shengyuan said with a smile.

“Yes, but they are all your students and you are the head of the academy.” White also smiled.

Meanwhile on Sanye island, Ink was holding Little Bun in his arms as he looked out to sea. Sanye island wasn’t as affected as Demon Wind island, but things were still rough. The sea had already claimed the houses by the shore and the fisherman had all taken refuge in the mountains. A cloud of mist clung to the island.

“What should we do? Senior Ming Xi and the others are safe right? Such heavy winds. The rain is dangerous too.” Ink walked around the cave uneasily.

Originally the group had stayed at a fisherman’s house, but the sudden heavy rain brought on by the thunder and lightning forced them to evacuate. They had been sheltering in the cave since.

The other fishermen and their families had also scattered and found shelter in various caves in the mountains as well. The only thing they could do was hide and wait for the storm to pass.

“Oleen, I hope nothing happens to my Oleen.” Milty moaned. “That bitch Yanran, if anything happens to my Oleen, I’ll kill her!” Milty gritted her teeth, her face bitter.

“I hope everyone is OK.” Leo silently prayed to the gods for everyone’s wellbeing.

Watching Milty only care about her fiancé, while everyone else was in danger, made Ink mad. He needed to vent. “What the hell is this?! You can only think of your Oleen?! If it weren’t for your begging, Senior Ming Xi, Jier and Xiao Wu wouldn’t have gone out in all that. If something happens to them, trust me, I won’t let you off the hook. You guys are nothing but trouble!” josei

Ink was fed up with Milty. She lamented about her fiancé’s safety every friggin day, but not a single word about the others passed through her lips. It was beyond selfish.

Milty blushed but she was unwilling to concede the point. “How can you blame Oleen and me? You should blame Yanran. If she hadn’t seduced my poor Oleen and forced him into helping, he wouldn’t have left the team without permission.”

Leaving the team without permission wasn’t a trivial matter. Once Ming Xi reported Yanran and Oleen’s unauthorized departure from the group, it would be difficult for the two to join another team in the future. No team would want pigheaded, undisciplined team members in their midst.

Milty wanted to beg Ming Xi not to report Oleen. That bitch Yanran should be the one responsible for all the blame. She wouldn’t let anyone pin the blame on her Oleen.

“You’re ridiculous. Yanran never pointed a sword at him and forced him into helping. He decided to leave of his own free will. If he hadn’t wanted to go with Yanran, do you think she could have forced him?”

Ink didn’t like Yanran, but he didn’t like Milty either. The woman was impossible to deal with whenever it had anything to do with her fiancé. It didn’t matter what Oleen did, it was always someone else’s fault. Her fiancé was never in the wrong.

Milty had gotten on Ink’s nerve for some time, and the bad weather only made his temper worse.

“You’re defending Yanran so much, you’re seduced by her too aren’t you?!” Milty yelled out. She couldn’t bear to listen to anyone defending Yanran.

“Unreasonable,” was all Ink said. He hugged Little Bun, too lazy to bother talking to the mad woman.

None of the three guys noticed the odd expression on Little Bun’s face.

Mom! Mom! Want Mom!

He was feeling annoyed with the outside world and he wanted his mother to hug and kiss. Don’t like it! Stinky! Loud!

The little guy waved his hands, struggling in Ink’s embrace. No one noticed a powerful energy force in his hand as he did so.

Don’t like the dark!

Don’t like water from sky!

Don’t like water splash!

Don’t like noisy outside! Rain too loud! Waves too loud! Wind, lightning, thunder, too much!

Little Bun angrily threw out the energy in his hand.

Ink and Milty were throwing glares at each other, while Leo was just standing off to the side. None of them noticed Little Bun’s movement, so unbeknownst to them, the little ball of energy flew all the way to Demon Wind island.

The ball of light kept getting brighter until it finally turned into a beam of light that penetrated the clouds and the sea. The volcano in the ocean floor calmed down, the tsunamis stopped and the rain gradually slowed until it finally dissipated entirely. The dark sky disappeared and the sun peeked out from the clouds again.

Calmness settled over everything. If it hadn’t been for Demon Wind island sinking a little, it would have felt like a dream -- or rather a nightmare.

“Strange. Why did it suddenly clear up?” Ink stared in surprise at the rainbow in the sky.

“Yeah, what happened?” Milty was just as confused.

“The rain finally stopped.” Leo breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe now his teammates would finally settle down and stop fighting so much.

Little Bun opened his mouth in a yawn. He kept blinking as his eyes kept drooping. So tired. . .  Eventually his eyes refused to open and he fell asleep.

No one knew the story of how Little Bun saved the world.

After the storm passed, the fishermen prepared to move back to their homes, while most of the pirates, who were floating at sea, narrowly escaped with their lives.

298: The Arrival of the Demon World People

The deputy commanders[notes] took out several ships of different sizes from their dimensional space for the pirates and slaves that were swept out to sea. They would need to settle on another island for the time being.

As for Feng Wu and her group, things were a little bizarre. Less than a minute after the storm subsided, a large passageway appeared in the sky and a group of demon soldiers in armor stepped through.

Demon Wind, upon seeing this, thought the new group was there to provide back up for the demon lord commander.

Ming Xi and Jier came to a different conclusion. They were relived and no longer tense.

Demon Wind didn’t understand. Weren’t humans and demons hostile toward each other? Why did they look so relieved at seeing a group of demons in the human world? Did these guys get stupid in the head?

But the silly one, was of course, Demon Wind.

“Master Miè, the king requested we pick you up and return to the demon realm.”

Two soldiers, dressed differently than the rest, stepped forward. It was clear they were in charge of the platoon.

“King? He really won’t let me go huh?” Miè glanced at the group.

The two demons glanced at each other. “My Lord misunderstands. The king has always held the view that you were involuntarily conscripted in the past. My Lord was one of the first demons. Sins of the past are forgiven. My Lord will be restored to your former glory.”

Miè smiled indifferently when he heard this. All he said was, “Let’s return to the demon realm. But before we depart, tell me, who is the current king?”

Both soldiers understood that the king Miè was thinking of was not the current ruling king, but the former demon king, also known as the Demon Ancestor by most demons. Regarding the former king, the Demon Ancestor, the soldiers didn’t harbor any particular scorn or contempt.

“Replying to My Lord, the former king has been defeated, his physical body was destroyed and his soul sealed.” The soldiers replied truthfully.

Miè nodded. Better than expected. At least his king still existed.

“Little girl, come here.” Miè turned to Feng Wu. There was surprise in his eyes.

Feng Wu didn’t feel any malicious intent from him, so she obediently walked over.

Neither Ming Xi nor Jier stopped her. If the commander wanted to harm her, he would have just done so. There was no need for him to resort to trickery.

“Where did your sword come from?” He knew the sword’s origins after his memories returned, but what he didn’t know was how it ended up in the hands of this girl in front of him.

“Are you talking about Xiao Chun? Xiao Chun is my friend. He lived in the mountain behind my house. Master said Xiao Chun would be mine if I could pull him out.” Feng Wu replied with complete honesty. It was just that the home in her mind was Mount Yuehua and not the Feng family estate.

“So that’s how it is. I didn’t expect there’d by another human who could wield that sword.” Miè nodded without saying anything more. He knew a lot of things the little girl in front of him would never know.

“Let us return to the demon realm.” Miè addressed the two lead soldiers. He extended both his hands out to them. “The binding.”

“The king's orders were that as long as My Lord was willing to return of your own free will, there would be no need for the binding encirclement.”

“Let’s go then.”

Miè entered the passageway. He was quickly followed by the rest of the demon soldiers. The passageway disappeared once everyone had stepped through.

“I was scared to death! I’ve never seen so many demon soldiers in my life.” Demon Wind declared.

The others didn’t say much. Feng Wu was never a curious child so she didn’t ask questions.

“You guys, can you tell me what happened? How’d demon soldiers show up here? And how come they didn’t attack us?” Demon Wind scratched his head; unlike Feng Wu, he had a lot of questions.

“Those demon soldiers were under the demon king’s command. They would have been alerted as soon as the seal was broken. They were sent to pick him up.” Ming Xi answered.

“But wasn’t that guy the former king’s man? Why would the current king send people to pick him up instead of just killing him immediately?” Demon Wind was still confused.

The same logic applied in the human world as well. All the supporters of a forcefully deposed king would be killed.

“Miè is very special. He was one of the first twelve demon commanders to be born in the demon realm. He’s also the most powerful. The demon realm needs to maintain its strength, so the king would never kill him.”

“The king isn’t afraid this Miè guy is going to betray him?”

Ming Xi gave Demon Wind a faint smile. “Do you think the current demon king, who defeated the former demon king, would be afraid of a demon commander?”

Ah, true, Demon Wind had asked a silly question. He had to wonder if his brain got flooded in the water, otherwise why would he have asked such a question.

“Oh!” Jier suddenly exclaimed.

“What is it?” Ming Xi asked.

“Those other two troublemakers are missing again.”

“Are you talking about Yanran and Oleen?” Ming Xi raised a brow. They'd finally found them after a lot of trouble, but now they’d lost them again. What rotten luck.

“Who else but those two stupids.”

Feng Wu rubbed her belly pitifully. So hungry...

“We’ll look for them, but if we can’t find them, then we can’t find them.” Ming Xi said. However way things ended, they had tried their best. They would have an explanation for the teacher when they returned to campus.

Demon Wind decided to help out of courtesy to Little Seven, but despite their efforts, they couldn’t find Yanran or Oleen. The two of them could have been washed out to sea and eaten by sea monsters for all anyone knew.

Ming Xi and the others weren’t going to wait around forever. They decided to leave for Sanye island and continue their mission. Yanran and Oleen would just have to fend for themselves. If they were lucky, they’d be fine.

Demon Wind wasn’t going to follow them to Sanye. For generations his family had guarded the seal, but now that the seal was broken and the demon gone, there was no reason to do so anymore.

His brothers had just sent him a message saying they had settled on another island. He would meet them there. He bade Ming Xi and the others farewell and embarked on his journey alone.

Ming Xi and his group went back to their boat so they could head back to Sanye island. They used magic to fly to where they left the boat, but there was nothing there once they arrived. Perhaps it was blown away by the wind, or someone took it, or worse yet, it could have sunk.
