Chapter 41 The Fire Demon Part 2

The hunters spent the morning setting traps to catch the fire demon. It was past noon when the hunters finished their works. They went back to the village and had lunch with the villagers, but Guozhao Zhiqiang was nowhere to be seen. Because

there are no tables as most of the items have been destroyed by the fire demon. Young villagers and the five brothers sat on the ground having their meals.

Zheng Tingfeng looked around and asked his brothers, "Where is senior brother?"

Guozhao Shaquan said, "Don't you know that someone is very worried about your safety?"

Lim Junjie said, "I'll go after him."

Zheng Yaozu, "No, why? We should wait here?"

Guozhao Bolin added, "Don't you know someone is very worried about your safety?" He giggled. "If you leave, that person's heart will be disturbed."

Lim Junjie asked innocently, "Who?"

Zheng Yaozu said, "A person who has always had a crush on you, but refused to tell you because of his stubborn mouth.

Lim Junjie said, "I don't know who it is yet. I know that Zhiqiang loves me very much."

Guozhao Bolin said, "Senior brother's love for you is different from that person."

Lim Junjie asked, "Who? Tell me?"

The three hunters laughed and pointed to Zheng Tingfeng, "It's him."

Zheng Tingfeng frowned, "I don't see what's funny about this." Then he gritted his teeth. "Even if I see him dying, I won't move a finger to help him."

Zheng Yaozu and Guozhao Bolin put their hands on their chests and let out an "ouch".

Lim Junjie finally understood that the three brothers were making fun of him and Zheng Tingfeng. He said, "Don't worry, I'm not a fragile person like him. I have wolf blood flowing in my veins. Therefore, I will never need his help to save me. On the other hand, I don't mind being the hero who saves the beauty in the end."

Zheng Tingfeng madly walked away. The three hunters and the wolfman followed Zheng Tingfeng and walked towards the other villagers with a smile.

Zheng Yaozu shouted, "Don't be angry, big brother, we are joking." Zheng Tingfeng turned to look at the four brothers. Zhen Yaozu hurriedly turned around. "Are we just kidding?"

Zheng Tingfeng gritted his teeth, "You all better be."

The other three brothers, including Zhen Yaozu, laughed in unison, "We are not joking, we are serious."

Zheng Tingfeng's face was full of anger, "You guy..." He clenched his fists, turned around and left.

The four brothers burst out laughing and continued to follow Zheng Tingfeng towards the villagers.

Guozhao Zhiqiang found traces of the fire demon's daily rout. He followed the path back to the hidden cave of the fire demon. He found the hole, and it was dark inside. Guozhao Zhiqiang walked into the dark cave. As he approached the end of the cave tunnel, he heard a man and a woman talking.

Gen said sadly, "Ah Wan leave. The hunters are here. They will kill you."

Wan, "Ah Gen, I'm not leaving you. We promise to stay together. If we have to die, let's die together. I'm tired of running."

Gen, "Being with me will only kill you."

Wan said, "So be it. I can't see the future without you walking by my side."

Gen said sadly, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If I listened to you and didn't attack those people, we wouldn't be in this situation."

Wan comforted Gen, "Everyone makes mistakes."

Gen cried, "I'm sorry, my love." Gen reached out and stroked Lam's face. "If time could be turned back... I wouldn't be too stubborn, and I will listen to you. Because of my stubbornness, once those hunters found our hiding place, the two of us will be doom." Gen held Wan's Hans. "My dear, please leave me."

Wan said angrily, "I told you long ago. No matter what happens in the future, I will not leave you. You said you would listen to me, and now listen to me. Gen, you have always protected me, and now I want to do the same for you. I don't want to be the only fire demon in this world. I'd rather die with you."

Gen said, "But our kind will be extinct."

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "If you knew it will end up like this, why did you do it in the first place?"

Wan quickly transformed herself into a large demon beast, roaring loudly at the entrance. Wan said in a harsh low voice, "Who are you?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang, "Is it not too late to repent?"

Wan sniffed in the air, "Not a human... No wonder I can't smell you." She growled. "If you dare show yourself...if you come close to my slumber layer, I will tear you apart." She continued to growl.

Guozhao Zhiqiang replied as he slowly walked deeper into the cave, "I never admit that I am a human being."

Gen sternly said, "Wan... go now. He is not an ordinary human hunter." Gen looked around, but saw no one. He knew that this hunter would not be able to see in the dark. "Wan, change back. He won't be able to see you in the dark."

Wan quickly transformed herself back into a normal human being. She sat next to Gen on the ground and held his hands.

Guozhao Zhiqiang pulled out his sword and walked towards the couple. He saw the couple sitting on the ground holding each other's hands. Then he went over to her husband's head and put the sword on his neck. The man pushes his wife away.

Gen screamed, "Go."

Wan reached out her hand and shouted , "No!"

Guozhao Zhiqiang conjured a fire talisman and sent it to the two small torches on the wall. The dark cave brighten up.

Wan was shocked, "How do you see in the dark?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "Your husband is right, I'm not an ordinary hunter." Guozhao Zhiqiang looked at Wan, she was pregnant. "Do you admit your guilt?"

Gen sat up and knelt down, "I admit my guilt."

Guozhao Zhiqiang glanced at Gen and said, "Is there any request?"

Gen pleaded, "Hunter, it was me who committed the crime. My wife did nothing wrong. Please let her go."

Guozhao Zhiqiang looked at the injured Gen and said coldly, "Wish granted, now you can rest in peace."

Gen said, "Thank you." He smiled at his wife. "It's ok."

Just when Guozhao Zhiqiang raised his sword to cut off Gen's head, Wan hurriedly stopped him. She cried, "Wait." She went to her husband and kissed him lightly on the lips. "I'll see you on the other side." She smiled at Gen.

With tears in his eyes, Gen said, "My lovely wife, I'll wait for you." He smiled at her again.

Guozhao Zhiqiang looked at Wan and asked, "Why do you want to die alongside him?"

Wan said with tears, "Then let me ask you, if you know that the person you love the most is about to die, and the life after his death is worthless, do you still want to live?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang replied, "No."

Wan turned away from her husband. She looked at Guozhao Zhiqiang, "Hunter, kill me first, then kill him."

Guozhao Zhiqiang said indifferently, "I don't kill people for entertainment, I only kill people who do evil."

Wan angrily said, "Okay. I'll tell you now, if you don't kill me. After you kill him, I'll..." She groaned in pain and began to breathe heavily. "I'm going to break into the village..." She snorted painfully... "I'm going to start killing all those villagers." She fell to the ground screaming in pain and began to moan in pain.

Gen shouted worriedly, "Wan stop."

Wan cried and hummed, "Gen...I love you too much to watch you die. My heart is not strong enough, so...I want to die before you." She groaned in pain and lay on the ground. Her moans grew louder with each contraction.

Gen pleaded, "Hunter please, my wife is in labor. Please don't kill me yet."

Wan cried in pain and reached out for Gen's hand. She moaned in pain, "Gen …it hurts." She gasped.

Gen looked at Guozhao Zhiqiang with tears steaming down his cheeks, "I promise I won't run away. I just want her to give birth safely." His lips trembled. "Please..."
