Chapter 200: Becoming a Demon Lord Again

Just at this moment, a rumbling sound came from the stomach of the little girl who had stopped crying. Suddenly, the Killing Intent on Old Xie disappeared. He then gently picked up the little girl and placed her on his lap, smiling as he asked, “Are you hungry?”

“Yes! Because my sister didn’t come back, I haven’t eaten anything from yesterday until now.” The little girl nodded, then looked at the food on the table with eager eyes.

“Come, eat this.” Old Xie then took a plate of good food from the table and handed it to her.

The little girl didn’t take it but looked at the tavern owner with puzzled eyes.

The owner obviously saw that Old Xie meant no harm and hurriedly said to the little girl, “Eat, the Young Master is a good person!”

“Thank you!” Even now, the little girl thanked him before grabbing the food and eating voraciously.

However, after only a few bites, she immediately stopped and said in a pleading voice, “Young Master, can I not eat now?”

“Why?” Old Xie asked curiously.

“I want to take it back to my sister!” The little girl said, “She hasn’t eaten all day either, she must be very, very hungry!”

Hearing her childish voice, Old Xie felt a sourness in his heart. Chris Chen and the tavern owner couldn’t help but shed tears directly.

“Pack some delicious food for me! I want to take it away.” Old Xie ordered the tavern owner.

“Yes, Young Master!” The owner hurriedly agreed, then turned to do it.

“Come!” Old Xie then put the little girl back on the ground and laughed, “Take me to your house, okay?”

“Okay, but what about this food!” The little girl said, pointing hesitantly at the food on the table.

“Don’t worry, you and your sister will have good food!” Old Xie finished and took her hand to walk out.

…

Half an hour later, Old Xie carried the little girl into a commoner’s house outside the town, and Chris Chen followed behind holding a package of food.

On the way, Old Xie had found out everything about her family. It turned out that only the little girl and the flower-selling girl were left in the family, relying on each other. Their parents had died three years ago. At that time, the flower-selling girl, who was only 13 years old, supported herself and her Younger Sister by selling flowers. Until yesterday, a nightmare befell this family.

The little girl’s home was a typical small farmyard. Two slightly larger wooden houses were for living, and one slightly smaller wooden house was for raising chickens and ducks. Surrounding it was a fence-made yard, and the yard was full of various flowers. This was what the sisters relied on for survival.

At this time, there were still a dozen people in the yard. They were all neighbors who came to help because they knew something big had happened here. Seeing a noble person like Old Xie arrive, they were all somewhat fearful.

Old Xie ignored them and walked directly into the wooden house. Although everything inside was very old, it was cleaned very neatly, showing that the two little girls were people who loved cleanliness.

On a shabby bed, Old Xie saw the flower-selling girl. Her body was covered by a quilt, with only her pale face exposed. But just this face made Old Xie have an impulse to go berserk.

Because this face, which was originally full of smiles and sunshine, was now covered with criss-crossing knife cuts. Someone had cruelly cut flesh from her face, revealing the white bones. The most terrifying thing was that her eyes had also been gouged out!

Old Xie suppressed his anger and walked over, wanting to reach out and check her pulse. But he angrily discovered that the girl’s arms were not only covered with wounds, but even her bones were smashed to pieces by heavy objects, making it impossible to check her pulse.

Old Xie could only use his Divine Sense to scan the girl’s body and found that at least ten catties of flesh had been cut from her body. Especially on her chest and the roots of her thighs, holes had been dug out. Moreover, her limbs were shattered to varying degrees. Such severe injuries, even Old Xie could not cure. In fact, the poor flower-selling girl had already breathed her last. She was now just a corpse.

“No matter who it is, he has angered me. I will give him the same treatment!” Old Xie said in a low voice to the flower-selling girl, “Also, I will take good care of your Younger Sister!” After saying that, Old Xie did not hesitate anymore and walked out directly carrying the little girl.

After coming out, Old Xie first handed the little girl to Chris Chen to hold, then ordered, “Send her to Diles. Tell that guy that from now on, this little girl is his daughter. He must give her the best care, otherwise, I will throw him back to the City of Chaos!”

“Yes!” Chris Chen hurriedly agreed.

Old Xie then smiled at the little girl, “Be good, I’ll send you to a good place now. You’ll be taken good care of there, okay?”

“I don’t want to go, I want to be with my sister!” The little girl shook her head immediately.

“You go first. Your sister needs treatment. When she gets better, she will come find you!” Old Xie had to lie to her.

“Is what you say true?” The little girl immediately said excitedly, “You said my sister will be cured?”

“Of course!” Old Xie nodded hurriedly.

“Then will her eyes get better too?” The little girl asked quickly.

“Yes, that’s right!” Old Xie nodded again.

“But, why do everyone else say my sister is already dead?” The little girl asked in confusion.

“They are lying to you!” Old Xie immediately said.

“But~” The little girl wanted to ask something else. Old Xie, afraid of revealing the truth, quickly interrupted her, “Alright, alright, I need to rush to save your sister, I don’t have time to explain to you. How about this, you take this money and treat it as collateral from me. If I don’t give your sister back to you, you don’t give me the money, okay?” Saying that, Old Xie pointed to the purse the little girl had been holding.

Hearing that Old Xie was in a hurry to save her sister, the little girl didn’t dare to say more. She nodded hurriedly and agreed, “Then, then okay, you must not lie to me!”

“Of course, I never lie to children!” Old Xie laughed, then instructed Chris Chen, “You go first!”

“Yes!” Knowing that Old Xie was in a bad mood, Chris Chen didn’t dare to talk nonsense. He agreed and hurriedly left with the little girl in his arms.

After sending them away, Old Xie looked around at the neighbors. Then he suddenly waved his hand, releasing a scorching stream of Vermilion Bird Divine Power from his body. With a boom, the wooden house of the little girl’s family began to burn fiercely.

Seeing Old Xie so powerful, those people were so scared that they trembled all over, and some even wanted to turn around and run.

Seeing this, Old Xie casually took out a bag of Gold Coins, grabbed a handful, and threw them on the ground. The fearful eyes of those people immediately changed, casting greedy gazes at the Gold Coins illuminated by the firelight.

“Whoever can tell me who did this can take the Gold Coins!” Old Xie said indifferently.

Everyone looked at each other, then a middle-aged man with a slightly bolder temper stood out and said, “Young Master, actually everyone knows about this clearly. It must have been done by people from Peter Castle!”

“Peter Castle? What is that thing?” Old Xie asked with a frown.

“Peter Castle is a villa Castle built by a Noble. It has a history of over a hundred years, and the owner has changed many times, but now it belongs to a certain Prince of the Royal family. It is only a dozen miles away from here, in that direction!” The man pointed in a direction.

“You mean, the people inside did this?” Old Xie asked puzzled, “You say that, do you have any basis?”

“This!” The man hesitated, then said helplessly, “Young Master, you may not know, but since that Peter Castle was occupied by a group of Noble young masters a few years ago, young girls have frequently disappeared from here. The first two years were a bit better, at least those who came back could keep their lives, of course, they were ruined. But in the past one or two years, that group of young masters has intensified to the point of enjoying torturing and killing people. Anyway, almost no one who goes in comes out alive. Up to now, more than a hundred have died! This doesn’t even count the Female Slaves they bought from the city!”

“Yes, almost every one of the dozens of villages nearby has had people harmed by Peter Castle. This is no longer a secret!” Another woman also said sadly, “For Fenny, we actually advised her not to go out, or she would be taken away by people from Peter Castle. But to earn money to support her Younger Sister, she still went to sell flowers every day, and as a result…” As she spoke, she couldn’t help but shed tears.

“Hmph!” After hearing this, Old Xie showed no expression, only snorted coldly, then said, “Build this place into a tomb. The extra money on the ground is the reward!”

After saying that, Old Xie walked away. He left behind a group of farmers looking at each other. If it weren’t for the pile of Gold Coins on the ground, they would hardly believe it was real.

After leaving the village, Old Xie slowly walked to a high ground. Looking at the beautiful setting sun in the distance, he couldn’t help but stop and watch for a while. Then he muttered to himself, “Nice scenery, but it’s ruined by my mood! Damn guys, they didn’t let me be comfortable! Fine, fine! Since I wanted to be a good person, but someone made me feel unhappy, why shouldn’t I be a Demon Lord again and make myself feel better?” Saying this, Old Xie didn’t waste any more words. He made a few leaps and quickly disappeared without a trace!
