Demon King/The Parting of the Orchid and Cang Chapter 38.2

Little Orchid was startled, "Then how come he was willing to give xi rang in order to create a body for me…" Not needing to finish, Little Orchid has already understood at the spot and complexion turned pale, "…He will is an evil wolf."

Qian Yin langjun was also similar to Dong Fang Qing Cang - coveting her body like a tiger waiting to ambush its prey.

"But…" Little Orchid suddenly thought of something peculiar, "From before, how come he said I was a treasure. If he wanted to take the xi range body, he has to say that xi rang is the treasure or say that you're a treasure." Little Orchid peered at Dong Fang Qing Cang, "After all, you are the person who can create the xi rang body ah."

Dong Fang Qing Cang wrinkled his eyes and laughed, "Right ah, why did [he] say that?"

Little Orchid looked at the smile on his face and subconsciously wanted to withdraw back, but it was total darkness and so she cannot withdraw back anywhere.

"Before speaking of other matters" He switched to a different subject, "Just before ben zuo has heard, that tomorrow night they've decided to quickly eliminate ben zuo…"

Little Orchid's eyes lighted up, "Can they kill you?" Her tone has several parts of emotions being stirred.

Dong Fang Qing Cang side-eyed her, "You think ben zuo dying would be advantageous to you?" He snorted coldly, "You will merely become a small bird in Qian Yin langjun's cage. Afterwards, don't expect to return to the Heavenly world anymore. Wait for him to steal the xi range body and you would have to use the clay he has molded to live. When all the remaining xi rang is used up, you will become like the other treasures…"

Little Orchid was terrified, "All those treasures also have hidden strangeness?"

"Within each treasure has contained a shadow. Qian Yin langjun is quite clever. Using the spiritual energy of the treasures to a.s.sist the imagery demons in forming shapes." He shot a glance at Little Orchid, "As for you, falling into Qian Yin langjun's hand, go give yourself blessings as you reside in the Soul Collecting vase."

Little Orchid briefly pondered and then firmly said, "You drew the formation to bring me into here, then most likely have schemed up something terrible. You speak, whether it's feasible for me to do it?"

"Don't expect you to do anything tremendous." Dong Fang Qing Cang spoke, "Remember the way to draw this formation spell." He finished speaking and within the endless voice of darkness appeared a light force that resembled a painting brush as it drew the spell in the atmosphere.

Little Orchid looked at the way the brush drew and already furrowed her brows, "This spell has very evil energies."

"Ben zuo's spell obviously has evil energies." Dong Fang Qing Cang continued, "The tea in the cup that is on the table has the vital energy of ben zuo's blood. In order to lure me away, tomorrow afternoon, Qian Yin langjun will definitely come here to control you. At that time, you then dip in a bit of the tea and find the opportunity to draw the spell on Qian Yin langjun."

Little Orchid briefly pondered for a bit and then worried about a particular issue, "My xi rang body is not like the other clay body that cannot touch water? Will the finger melt if dipped into water?"

Dong Fang Qing Cang laughed, "You think a body that ben zuo has molded is not good?"

Receiving such response, Little Orchid nodded and then asked, "What happens when the spell has been drawn on Qian Yin langjun?"

"Cause him to explode and die."

When Dong Fang Qing Cang said such words, intonation did not go up or down, but cold like the winds that blew from You Ming underworld.

Little Orchid looked at him for a moment, "Big devil, was it perhaps when you've suffered from the hostile formation and heart was still indignified over that…"

He did not utter a word as the figure slowly faded and then disappeared. After that, completely left the world of Little Orchid.

Little Orchid pouted and muttered, "Really is…petty and narrow-minded."

After finis.h.i.+ng her mutterings, Little Orchid sat alone in silence for a while. After being tricked by Dong Fang Qing Cang, she felt that she need to evaluate him again. This ancient mo zun has saved her several times before and has helped her before, but there were several times when he helped her due to helping himself. Rather to say he was forced to help her. The natural personality of this devil from beginning until the end will not change—devious, crafty, expert at trickery, often takes revenge, he…

Was a person that cannot be trusted nor relied upon.

Like when she has pay the greatest price for easily trusting him.

He had used reality , without the slightest hesitation, to slap her in the face.

When a lesson was learned from mistakes of one's actions, Little Orchid felt she couldn't completely trust the words Dong Fang Qing Cang has said. She needs her own plan. If she fell into the hands of Qian Yin langjun, the result will not be that great, but if she fell into his hands, will the result be better? Does not need to think as Little Orchid knew that the result definitely would not be good.

Sooner or later Dong Fang Qing Cang will one day achieved his goal of pus.h.i.+ng her out of this body. When the moment comes, she will still be a wandering soul. Can't say for sure that this will be more miserable than in Qian Yin langjun's hands.

She has to use her brain…

When Qian Yin langjun and Dong Fang Qing Cang faced against each other, the opportunity to live of hers has the chance to appear…

She has to calculate and plan carefully in order to ensure her own life.
