26 Demon Lady

After training,both Nuan and Jasmine walked home. Nuan got to where she was going to pass in order to reach her home and after she bidded Min a goodbye and left. She went towards her home singing and smiling brightly without an accurate reason. Well,there was a reason. At that time when Shang moved to dragged Succubus away,his gaze unknowingly landed. Seeing her,he gave a light smile which didn't escape Nuan's eyes. She couldn't help but be happy at that and suddenly,she hit her leg on a stone and stumbled to the floor. But she didn't,Shang held her in his arms as he prevented her from stumbling.

Nuan looked at the person that held her and was shocked. So shocked to be precised that she intended to push him away and when she did,this time around she fell on her buttocks. She grimaced in pain and couldn't help but glare at Shang.

Fen Shang crouched to the floor and looked at her. He placed his hands on her left leg and wanted to pull her shoe but she drew her leg back like a jack.

"I'm certain you are already bleeding. So stay put while I check", muttered Shang and pulled her leg back.

He pulled her,shoe and then the white sock that was already soaked with blood. She was terribly bleeding. He tore from his sleeve and bandaged her injured toes. He turned his back to her and asked her to hop on but she disagreed. Shang turned to look at her and questioned, "can you walk on you own?I simply doubt that. Your injured toes and your buttocks that was hit hardly on the hard ground would surely prevent you from walking well. And I haven't even checked on your buttocks to see whether it's ok." He said and Nuan couldn't help but cower in embarrassment. She looked at him and said, "Turn." Shang did exactly that and she hopped on his back and he took her home.

Jasmine walked to the palace,though she could be ridden there in the carriage,she didn't want to because she wanted to feel the evening breeze and watch everything her eyes could see.

Jasmine was suddenly dragged into a corner and trashed to the ground. She looked up to see Succubus in front of her and smiled.

"How surprising!the Demon Lady gracing me with her presence."Jasmine said.

Succubus stared at her and was surprised. How did she even knew she was a Demon,how much does she even know. "What are you?how do you even know me?how much do you even know?" Succubus bombarded her with questions.

"So many questions but I will answer one. I know so much about you and the Demons. Don't be surprised ok. And the next time you pull this stunt just know I won't take it likely with you. Be warned",Jasmine said and walked out on her. Succubus was dumbfounded,the girl wasn't even a Demon nor a Demon Slayer so how did she know about them.

She rushed to meet Cheng and asked if he knew about her knowing.

Cheng looked at her boringly and commented, "She knows,you know that she knows,and I know that she knows because I told her,so leave please. And listen,what you did earlier,I won't tolerate it ever. If you ain't satisfied with how things are in here,you can go back. No one forced to come to the earthly realm."

"How could you even tell a human about the Demons. Do you like her so much that you couldn't keep the secret about you hidden?mmh?" Succubus said in a loud tone angrily.

"Mind the tone you use on me Succubus. I wouldn't think twice before strangling you to death."Shang said.

"Strangle me?why?because I said the truth?hmm. So our runaway king has fallen in love with a human?how amaz..." she couldn't complete her sentence because Cheng held her neck and pushed her into the wall.

Few maids that witnessed scenwere scared to their bones. Commander Fu had never gotten angry before. He had always been the quite type. Never talking much but through actions. It seems as if he took action instead of talking.

"Wha-t does sh..sh..she have that I don't", Succubus questioned him in tears while stuttering.

Before Cheng could say anything,Shang pulled his hand away from Succubus neck,but he didn't bulge.

He squeezed her neck so tightly that Succubus was feeling as if she was going to die instantly.

"Cheng",Jasmine called and Cheng pulled his hand away from Succubus neck instantly. Succubus stared in disbelief. She crouched to her feet and bursted into tears.

Cheng left his chamber and Shang followed behind. He had to calm this friend of his before he goes berserk. And the last thing he wants is Cheng going berserk. A Demon going berserk totally means destruction. And it is and never will be a good thing.

Cheng was breathing heavily as he was angry. He was even changing in form. Thank goodness that it was getting dark already because there is 99% possiblity that Cheng will be sighted.

In walked into the forest with Shang behind him. Keeping a basically and reasonable distance.

"Stop following me",Cheng growled angrily at Shang. This time around,he was in his true demon self. His face gruesome,his face was burnt and scars filled it. His body burnt with scar on it. It looked like an unhealed scars. Dried blood and his ears pointing out. His horns dark as hell.His dark wing spread at his back and he looking like the the devil. Well,he is a devil.

"I can't and you know that,"replied Shang. "What has come over you? what made you so angry that you had to turn into your true self",asked Shang.

Cheng snored and growled in his sinfully demonic voice, "that idiot Demon said I'm in love with Min. Me?love Min? impossible",he growled louder.

"Well,your actions are giving you out",said Shang and Cheng stared at him hardly. "Calm down. I don't think you should get angry because of what she said except if you truly like her. To me,you being in your true demonic self that has come to surface since this year is simply because your human self and mind can't accept the true fact and your demonic self was triggered because of your disapproval to yourself. You are angry not at Succubus but your own self because you can't accept the truth",explained Shang in his own logic.

Cheng looked at him and reasoned if he was right.

"Think about it and come meet me at my home. Lets drink wine. I'm waiting for you",said Shang ànd left. He already talk sense into him,so he should reason more on it.
