61 - Liu Chen

Zong Dian's eyes trembled looking at Zong Xian like that. Moreover, hearing the words that came out of the young man's mouth. He gripped his knife tightly.

"What's up Dian'er? Don't you want to kill me? ", Zong Xian again coughed in blood. He kept staring at Zong Dian with a smile.

Zong Dian was currently around 4 steps away from Zong Xian. He pointed the knife at Zong Xian and gripped him firmly. It was as if he was ready to stab Zong Xian.

Zong Xian was still smiling despite seeing that. Liu Chen and Han Liangyi only watched the two people alone, without saying a word.

"Xian'er gege.", Zong Dian gave a short pause from his speech. He continued, "I can't do it, I can't kill you"

The knife held by Zong Dian turned around and stuck in his body. The corner of his lips immediately spat out blood. His body also slowly fell to the ground.

Zong Xian glared in disbelief. He immediately approached his sister with great difficulty and immediately put Zong Dian's head on his lap. "What are you doing?!"

Zong Dian smiled at Zong Xian. His sight was a bit vague at this moment. It also coughed up blood. "Xian'er gege, I.. Can't do.. Killing you.. I love my sister very much.. I'm sorry for stabbing you earlier"

Zong Xian instantly pulled out the knife stuck in his sister's body. On the edge of his eyes were tears, "You shouldn't have hurt yourself, you fool! Why did you hurt yourself?!"

Zong Dian was still smiling, "Of course I should do it.. Because I was.. Injuring you, Xian'er gege", his gaze grew increasingly blurry at this moment. He tried to defend himself so as not to close his eyes, even for a moment to say something to his brother.

"Looks.. This is our last meeting.. Xian'er gege's.. I love you" said Zong Dian. Slowly, his eyes closed with a smile on his lips.

Zong Xian patted Zong Dian on the cheek, hoping that his sister would open her eyes. "Dian! Open eyes! Why don't you open your eyes, huh?! Quickly open your eyes, Dian'er!", water came out of her eyes and hit Zong Dian's face.

Liu Chen and Han Liangyi went straight to Zong Xian.

Zong Xian stared at Liu Chen, "Please heal Dian'er, Chen! Give him any pills, get him to wake up and open his eyes, Chen! Please, help her now!"

Liu Chen crouched down near Zong Xian, looking at the wound where Zong Dian stabbed a knife into his own body. "I.. Can't cure it"

"What do you mean, Chen?! Aren't you a great alchemist?! You can make a great pill?! Then what do you mean you can't cure Dian'er?!" shouted Zong Xian. Tears just kept coming out soaking Zong Xian's face. He looked at Liu Chen sharply.

"The stab hit his heart. His pulse was also getting slower. I cannot do anything" Liu Chen said helplessly.

"There must be a way to save Dian'er! Think Chen!" shouted Zong Xian.

"Hey, he already said that he can't do anything more to save your sister" Han Liangyi said.

"There must be a way to save her!" zong Xian said as he looked at Han Liangyi sharply.

Liu Chen recalled that he had one chance to live again when he died. "I only have one way"

Zong Xian immediately looked at Liu Chen, "Then so quickly do it. Dian'er's body is getting colder!"

Liu Chen sat cross-legged near Zong Xian who was holding Zong Dian's head. It focuses his mind.

"What are you doing"

"You shut up, watch what Chen is going to do", Han Liangyi interrupted Zong Xian's remark. Finally the young man was silent.

Zong Xian looked at Zong Dian with worry.

Inside a white place, Liu Chen appeared there. There was also a ball of light floating before him at this moment.

"Lightball, I want that one chance of my life to be given to Dian'er. You must have seen him, right? How things are going" Liu Chen said as he stared at the glowing ball before him.

"But sir, if you die later.. Then you can't be turned on again like back then"

Liu Chen shook his head, "It doesn't matter, as long as it gives Dian'er one chance at life"

"Alright sir, if that's your will"

Liu Chen smiled, "Thank you"

At the same time, the all-white room gave off a light. Liu Chen closed his eyes because of the bright light.

Outside, Liu Chen's body shone. But not to the point of blinding the eyes. In Liu Chen's silence, there appeared a picture of a four-leaf clover leaf in golden yellow. A round light shot out from Liu Chen's body towards Zong Dian's cold body.

The round-shaped light entered Zong Dian's body and made his body glow. Slowly, the rays began to dim as well as the rays that were expelled from Liu Chen's body.

After the light disappeared from Zong Dian's body, the boy opened his eyes slowly.

Zong Xian smiled happily at the sight of his sister starting to open her eyes again. Even the stab scar had disappeared. He hugged his sister tightly, "Dian'er! You finally realized, too, you know I'm worried about you. Don't do anything like that again, you understand?!" zong Xian said furiously, mixed with pleasure.

"Uhukis.. Xian'er gege's.. I'm difficult.. Breathe" said Zong Dian with difficulty.

Finally Zong Xian let go of his embrace. But Zong Dian still remained on his lap. "Don't do anything like that again, you understand?"

"sorry"

The light that was on Liu Chen's body instantly disappeared. The mark on his forehead also disappeared. Liu Chen's body seemed to be about to fall, but Han Liangyi instantly became the backing of Liu Chen.

The young man's eyes were still closed, this made Han Liangyi quite anxious. "What's going on? Why didn't he wake up too?"

Hearing that, Zong Xian and Zong Dian turned to Liu Chen. The young man's eyes were still closed, he looked like he was unconscious. "What happened to him?" zong Xian.

Zong Dian started to sit down, aided by Zong Xian. They immediately sat down near Liu Chen.

"What happened to Brother Chen?" said Zong Dian.

Han Liangyi shook her head, "I don't know" he said anxiously. He checked Liu Chen's pulse and heartbeat, everything was normal. Only, his body was a bit cold. This was what made Han Liangyi worried.

"Then, we take Chen to my place" Zong Xian said.

Han Liangyi looked at Zong Xian for a moment, nodding. They went to the headquarters of the scorpion bandit group that Zong Xian had conquered.

After arriving at one of the rooms there, they laid Liu Chen on the bed.

Han Liangyi thrust something at Zong Xian, "Chen gave this to me before he began to do his way to help your sister re-open her eyes. Swallow, so that your wounds heal quickly"

Zong Xian received the pill Han Liangyi had given him. He sat down cross-legged and swallowed the pill. He absorbed his properties and it didn't take long, he had gotten better. But his stomach still hurts.

"You rest, I'll keep Chen here" Han Liangyi said.

"But.."

"Have it done, he would also have told you like that when he was conscious this time"

Finally Zong Xian nodded, he stared at Zong Dian. "Dian'er, you're coming with brother. We need to rest to fully recuperate"

"There's a guy here who's going to take care of Chen for a while. He would say the same thing as me if he were conscious now"

Zong Dian nodded with resignation. He said thank you to Han Liangyi. He also wanted to say thank you to Liu Chen, but the young man was unconscious at the moment. So he'll say it later.

"Thank you for looking after Dian'er and meeting me with her" Zong Xian said.

"That's because of Chen. Not me, so thank Chen later" Han Liangyi said.

"I know, but still you helped me, thank you"

"Ah, yasudah"

Zong Xian came out. He and Zong Dian directly came out of Liu Chen's room.

Han Liangyi looked at Liu Chen anxiously. What he was worried about was actually not Liu Chen, but himself. He was afraid that if he would meet the demon race who recognized him and he had not met them with Liu Chen, then he was finished. He'll get in trouble.

The demon race is also known for its cruelty in punishing someone who commits a mistake. Not all demons are like that. Mostly, the devil is cruel.

Han Liangyi held Liu Chen's hand. He currently wanted to ascertain whether Liu Chen was indeed the reincarnation of the demon prince or not. So he found out by looking at Liu Chen's past. If Liu Chen was indeed the reincarnation of the demon prince, Han Liangyi should be able to see the past of the demon prince.

Han Liangyi kept looking at Liu Chen's past for hours. Even his forehead seemed to sweat because to see the past of others, it required a large Qi and also a high focus.

After about 3 hours, Han Liangyi finally released his hand grip from Liu Chen. His breathing was irregular because he was tired and his Qi was drained a lot. It usually didn't come to this, but somehow looking at Liu Chen's past, it required even greater Qi.

"Chen.. Not the reincarnation of the demon prince.."

"..but he is both. His soul was united with the soul belonging to the demon prince ever since he was born. So it could be said, he was also the reincarnation of the demon prince. Then, his dantian was a twin dantian of fire and ice.

Fire was a special dantian that Chen did have, while his ice element came from a special dantian belonging to the demon prince. Their dantians united, causing Chen's dantian to be like a flawed dantian. Though it was the process of merging two opposing dantians" Han Liangyi murmured.

Han Liangyi nodded his head in understanding, "So that's why he can't control the ice element completely. That was because the memories belonging to the demon prince had not been fully united with Chen. It could even be said, Chen did not have anything to say about the demon prince"

The various possibilities he had thought of after seeing the past from Liu Chen.

"How do I restore his memory?", Han Liangyi thought for a moment, "I let time answer him. He might as well remember it himself"

Han Liangyi continued to pay attention to Liu Chen to make sure the young man was okay.

Time goes on, hours change, days change and then finally the moon keeps changing. It had been about 3 months Liu Chen was unconscious. This was not only to worry Han Liangyi. But also Zong Xian and Zong Dian.

Zong Dian felt guilty for saving her, Liu Chen became like this. Zong Xian felt guilty for forcing Liu Chen to heal his sister. Then he himself just kept quiet, doing nothing to help his sister at that time.

They were inside the room reserved for Liu Chen. All eyes were on one direction only Liu Chen. Everyone kept waiting for the young man to wake up.

The temperature of this room is a bit cold since 1 month ago. So did Liu Chen's body temperature. But his body temperature was a bit cold since he fainted until now.

Meanwhile, in the demon world.

The demons celebrated the arrival of their Emperor. This is the second day of the feast. Because yesterday the demon emperor had just come to the demon world. Because he was free from a seal that sealed himself. Though the demon emperor should be free after 2 months. But he is actually free now.

The party finally ended when it was already night. They had been celebrating the party for two days.

In the royal garden, there was a male demon holding a bright red stone. He smiled happily, "You're back"

He disappeared from there and appeared near the palace gate. Instantly, all of the demons there saluted, "Our respect to His Majesty the Emperor!" say they're in unison.

The demon man nodded, "Stand up"

All the demons immediately stood respectfully facing the man, who was the Demon Emperor.

"Where is General Ding?" said Emperor.

"In reply, General Ding was at His Majesty's training ground" said one of the soldiers.

The Emperor nodded, "Alright". He disappeared again and appeared in a large field.

He could see quite a number of demons lined up neatly. There was also one demon in front leading them.

Everyone paid their respects to the Emperor. So did the person who led the line, "Honor us to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Stand" said the Emperor.

Suddenly everyone stood up.

"Do you need anything, Your Majesty?" the devil who is the leader of the line. He was the Ding Bang, a great General and was the right hand of the Emperor.

"General Ding, I want you to take care of the empire. I have to go somewhere to find my son" said the Emperor.

All the demons were shocked to hear that.

"What does His Majesty mean?" general Ding Bang.

The Emperor immediately displayed the red jade that was now burning on General Ding Bang. "When this jade glows, it means he's alive. At that time, this stone showed no light at all which meant my son was gone. But now, this jade shines again which means my son is reborn"

Everyone was so happy to hear that.

"You guard this empire as long as I'm gone, General Ding"

"Your Majesty, I will do it".

The emperor just disappeared. While the demons seemed happy to hear the news that the prince was reborn, which meant the prince was reincarnated.

The emperor appeared in front of an old manor that had been left unkempt. He poured his Qi on the red jade in his hand. Instantly, a picture of a person who seemed to close his eyes.

"What happened to him?", the Emperor was surprised when he saw that person who did not open his eyes at all. He thought the man was hurt. So he became worried, because the picture on the jade was a picture of his son.

Before long, the image that was on the jade turned into the image of a large house surrounded by trees.

"House in the woods? I've never seen a house like that in the woods. Perhaps because it has been 1,000 years since that war, the condition of the human world has become different" the Emperor murmured.

Now the look has changed. It had two horns on its head, but now it is gone. The Emperor walked straight into the old building in front of him and went inside.
