RETURN OF THE EMPEROR

CHAPTER 10: THE GUEST

"If there is a human being who has a trait like the one you mentioned earlier, then he is a demon-hearted human being."

"You've seen me kill hundreds of humans, even absorb their energy. Am I not a demon-hearted human who deserves to be removed?"

“Everything you do happens because you're used to the devil so you assume what you're doing is normal, so I'm sure, even if you're demon-hearted, you can change."

"Where's your faith?"

"From my hunch, because I feel you're close to me. Come with me!"

"Why am I following you? The person I've always considered my parents just wants to use my body."

"I'll take care of you, love you like my own grandson, will you be my grandson?" Grandpa Han Yu then folded his legs, aligning his face with the face of the little boy.

“Did this grandfather really want to accept me and love me? Or will I use my body?” Inner Wang Yong was turbulent because it was still difficult to accept Grandfather Han Yu's invitation. For him the person who had been with him had betrayed him let alone the grandfather he had just known and already knew the condition of his body.

Han Yu's grandfather looked at Wang Yong's eyes, Wang Yong returned the gaze expectantly. Grandfather Han Yu felt that Wang Yong did not believe him.

“Trust me, Grandpa will really love you!”

Without thinking for a long time the boy nodded his head. He was certain of the statements of the grandfathers in front of him from the deepest heart.

He believed it because of the statement of the grandfathers when he met General Wang Sui and from his affectionate eyes.

The boy compared Grandpa Han Yu's gaze to the gaze of the demon king who had been considered his father.

If Grandpa Han Yu's gaze was filled with hope, trust and affection then the demon lord's gaze was filled with greed and anger.

Instantly Grandpa Han Yu tightly hugged the little boy named Wang Yong. Wang Yong just kept silent, he still could not believe that anyone who truly believed in him could change. Even that person wants to make himself a grandson.

Wang Yong's tears flowed very fast, he returned Grandpa Han Yu's embrace with a tighter hug. He leaned his head against Grandpa Han Yu's shoulder. Wang Yong really felt such deep affection from Grandpa Han Yu's embrace.

After an hour and a half, Grandpa Han Yu relaxed his embrace, lifted his head Wang Yong then he wiped his tears as well as Wang Yong's tears. His eyes then looked at Wang Yong's eyes, a smile she gave to Wang Yong.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Wang Yong. My marg is the same as the demon king's clan. If he wasn't my father and took care of me for wanting to use my body, it's very likely that both of my parents had been killed." Wang Yong returned to tears, he was sure that his parents had been killed by the demon lord given his cruelty all along. The demon lord had no compassion for anyone even if it was his own son.

"We forgot your old name. Now that you have become my grandson, from now on your name is Han Lian An!" Grandfather Han Yu hugged his new grandson again, he really felt happy to have a grandchild who had been coveted all this time even though he was not his biological grandson.

“Han Lian An, very beautiful name.” Wang Yong muttered and tucked into a smile with a hint of happy tears.

Han Lian An also tightly hugged her new Grandpa. The sadness of losing a parent is a little relieved by the presence of a grandfather who loved him wholeheartedly. Her heart was really happy to get to meet someone very nice to her. He is also very happy to get a new name that he really likes.

"Good grandfather, but …." Han Lian An did not dare to express her wish, she only played with both hands.

"What's An er?" Grandpa Han was curious about what his grandson said.

"That's the cake …." Han Lian An still did not dare to express her wishes. After all he had just become Grandpa Han Yu's granddaughter thus making him ashamed to ask for something.

"Say!" Han Yu's grandfather gave a little emphasis so that Han Lian An dared to express his wishes or opinions.

"Will Grandpa grant it?"

"If Grandpa can grant it and as long as it's for good, grandfather will try to grant it."

"Promise?"

"Yes, grandpa promise".

Feeling confident of not getting angry at her request, Han Lian An finally conveyed her wish.

"Grandfather, may I absorb the corpse qi energy from those corpses?"

"Of course it may be, they are ruthless demons, unworthy of respect after his death."

A smile rose on Han Lian An's lips, a desire he thought would anger Grandpa Han Yu turned out to be not as he expected.

Han Lian An then approached towards the corpses lying around him. He then took a sitting stance with the lotus position. Han Lian An again began to form an array of qi energy eateries.

The qi devourer array then absorbed the energy of the corpses. The energy gathered together forms a ball of energy. Han Lian An then inserted it into his body and channeled it into his dantian through the meridians and began to absorb the corpse qi energy in order for it to be used to raise its cultivation.

"Sap." The amount of energy absorbed from the corpses made his cultivation level up into the realm of strengthening stage 2 qi. What a great achievement for an 8 year old.

Han Yu's grandfather who from the very beginning noticed him was shaking his head, feeling disbelief, his very young grandson was already at the realm of strengthening second stage qi.

Normal humans can reach the realm of qi reinforcement usually after 18 years of age. Grandfather Han Yu felt lucky not to kill the boy who became the young master of the Demon nation. Grandfather Han Yu also grew even more proud as that incredible boy was now his grandson.

Grandfather Han Yu walked in picking up the space rings of all the Demon warriors including General Wang Sui's. Of the entire space ring, belonging to General Wang Sui whose contents were most valuable, quite a number of gold coins were stored within it. There were also some precious artifacts and herbs that had already dried up.

“Lumayan is also the wealth of this general, surely he is a general with quite high power. I'd better take An er home soon and remove the trace of aura so that it is difficult to detect by the demon kingdom.”

After several hours of trying to stabilize the energy he absorbed, Han Lian An opened his eyes, his smile expanding as he managed to level up into an earth realm warrior cultivator. He then turned his head towards Han Yu's grandfather.

"Congratulations An er, it's amazing that you can break through stage 2 qi reinforcement at such a young age."
