I Shall Rule The Heavens 21 Ch. 21 - Off I Go!

As soon as Xiong Hu had left, Xiao Huoyan once again fell to the floor, but this time he didn't cry.

He felt scared. He just killed several people without blinking, and what's worse, he was completely 'normal' this time. He was himself, yet he enjoyed their scared expressions, the feeling of being superior to everyone else. He even enjoyed the sound of their screams as he absorbed all of their lifeforce.

He used to tell himself that it wasn't his fault when he killed others. He used to tell himself that it was the 'victim's' fault for provoking him. Since he lost himself and turned into some kind of insane demon, he didn't fully blame himself for killing others, but now it was… different.

This time, not only did he kill several other human beings while being completely so-called 'normal', he even enjoyed every single moment of it. And that was what scared him so much.

He didn't stay on the floor for especially long. After a while, he came back to his senses and remembered that he actually had somewhere to go. He had to go to Rosewood City to look for his uncle.

He was sure that he'd seen a map in Jin Long's old room, so he went back to look for it. He quickly found it in the second drawer. He thought it'd be a shame if everything were to be stolen when he was away.

The Jin Clan seemed to have a lot of enemies, so he sorted everything into different categories and then he used different s.p.a.ce Rings to store everything that seemed to have any kind of value.

"OFF I GO!"

He said to himself and quickly set off towards Rosewood City to look for his uncle.

He started to get thirsty, which was completely normal since he had already walked for a few hours. He knew that he had food in one of his storage rings, but he had forgotten to bring water. Food doesn't really help when you're thirsty as h.e.l.l.

He decided to walk to the closest village to get some water. He continued to walk for almost two hours, then he reached a small village.

Everyone was staring at him as he walked around the village. At first he thought it was kind of strange, but then he remembered. He had forgotten to take a shower and was still covered in blood. It wasn't his blood, but the villagers didn't know that.

He continued to walk a little bit more, then he just went to a random house and knocked on the door. A moment later, a teenage girl opened the door.

As soon as she saw Xiao Huoyan standing in front of her door while covered in blood, she started to cry.

"Why are you crying, pretty sister?"

Xiao Huoyan didn't know anyone in this village. Therefore, he decided to act as a pitiful child until he knew if he could trust them.

"Oh I-I--"

"--Who is it sweetie?"

The girl's mother asked while on her way to the door.

The girl didn't know what to answer, and before she could ask for Xiao Huoyan's name, her mother had already arrived at the door.

"Oh my!"

Her mother yelled in surprise when she saw Xiao Huoyan standing there covered in blood, with only a map in his hands.

"H-h.e.l.lo, pretty lady!"

Xiao Huoyan said and bowed respectfully.

"Oh, dear please come in and tell us what happened to you!"

"Are you sure it's f-fine? I'm pretty dirty and I don't want to dirty anything in your lovely house, pretty lady."

"Oh, nonsense! Please, come in dear!"

"F-fine, t-thank you."

Xiao Huoyan followed the mother and daughter in. He didn't like to act like a pitiful and lonely child, but he still didn't know if he could trust them.

"Uhm, would you like to take a bath first? I'll warm a bath for you if you'd like."

"N-no, thank you pretty sister. I-I don't want to disturb you, I j-just came to ask f-for water."

"It's fine dear. Please take a bath and then tell us about what happened to you, okay?"

"O-okay, thank you pretty lady and pretty sister."

Xiao Huoyan went to take a bath and then went straight to the kitchen. He could hear the pair of mother and daughter talking about him. They seemed to genuinely care for him. For some reason, it actually felt quite nice to have someone care for him.

"I-I finished. Thank you."

"Great! I'm sorry, but we don't have any boy's clothes here but I can go and ask the neighbours for a set off clothes. I'm sure it's fine."

"O-oh, it's fine. I already washed my clothes and dried them. It's fine now, but that you anyways."

"How come they're already dry, dear?"

Xiao Huoyan couldn't come up with any decent lie, so he decided to tell them the truth. He wasn't going to tell them everything about him, nor everything about the incident, but it couldn't hurt to tell them that he used Demonic Flame to dry his clothes. He could tell them the truth… or at least a bit of it.

"I j-just…"

Xiao Huoyan said while holding out his hand. Then he used Demonic Flame. A small flame deemed to appear from his hand.

"Oh, so you're a Cultivator!"
