1 The Demon King Awakened

[Volume One - The Awakening and Yan Kingdom]

"Those who killed me must have never imagined that I can be reincarnated, right?" Mo Xiu stood up from the bed, his eyes gradually sharpened.

He was originally the strongest Everlasting Demon King in the Realm of Heaven, leading a group of demons and conquering all directions until he encountered betrayal by his confidant during the War of Origin.

The person who betrayed him was named Lan Xiao, and that person had been following him since she first entered the Realm of Heaven, fought with him everywhere, and became famous with him.

He even treated Lan Xiao as his own sister but never expected that the crucial battle would encounter Lan Xiao's betrayal.

At that time, it could be said that the gods and demons danced wildly. With his own power, he fought a hundred thousand gods and demons and finally died of exhaustion.

He thought he was going to end up with extinction of form and spirit, but he did not expect that the Fairy Western Moon who was supposed to be his enemy secretly helped him, allowing him to escape with a strand of soul, cross to the Profound Sky Continent, and reincarnated.

Now he was the Eldest Young Master of Sun Martial City's Mo Family. But in the past eighteen years, in order to repair the damage on the soul, he had been in a state of deep sleep. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the Eldest Young Master of the Mo Family was no different from a fool.

"Fairy Western Moon, although I don't know why you want to help me, I have written down your kindness, and I will replay you if I have a chance in the future."

"Lan Xiao, I treated you as my sister, but you betrayed me! Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being cruel."

"After I rebuild my cultivation and kill the heavens again, I will definitely leave you to die without a burial ground."

A raging flame was burning in Mo Xiu's eyes.

Then at this time, a rush of noise came from outside the room.

Mo Xiu released his Divine Sense and penetrated the door of the room, and soon found that a woman in an ancient dress was surrounded by a group of people with another woman as the lead.

Although he had been in a deep sleep state, Mo Xiu had not been completely ignorant of the outside world for the past eighteen years.

The woman in the ancient dress was named Mo Ruyi, the adopted daughter of Mo Zhuo, the lord of the Mo Family, and was nominally Mo Xiu's sister.

The other woman was a maid of Mo Xiu's cousin, Mo Wuxian, named Lin Nan, who he had seen with Mo Wuxian several times and was quite powerful in the mansion.

Not long ago, news came from the North Capital that King Ning of the North Capital initiated a coup. As a supporter of Emperor North, the family master, Mo Zhuo, led the family experts and some of the defenders in the Sun Martial City to the North Capital to challenge.

However, three days ago, another news came from North Capital that King Ning had a successful coup, and all the experts of the Mo Family, including the Patriarch Mo Zhuo, were wiped out.

After only three days, there was great chaos inside the Mo Family. One by one, not thinking about how to deal with the coming crisis, but desperately fighting for the power instead.

As the Eldest Young Master of the Mo Family, Mo Xiu had a chance to become the new Patriarch of the Mo Family. However, for the past eighteen years, he had been a fool in the eyes of the outside world. If the Patriarch had not taken care of him in all possible ways, he would have died countless times already.

Now that the Patriarch Mo Zhuo was dead, those in the family were eager to get rid of him sooner, so it was naturally impossible for him to be the Patriarch.

Looking at this situation, he was afraid that Lin Nan and others were also unkind.

…

"Mo Ruyi, don't make a mistake. The former Patriarch adopted you because you are pitiful, but you really think of yourself as the Mo Family's eldest miss? When will the funeral of the former Patriarch be held is our Mo Family's business, an outsider like you is not qualified to interfere."

"I… I am indeed an outsider, but Mo Xiu is also the Eldest Young Master of the Mo Family…"

"Bah! What kind of Eldest Young Master of Mo Family is that? He's just a fool, a shameful thing at most. If not for the former Patriarch had been protecting him, he would have died a long time ago. Now that the former Patriarch is dead, how can this family still tolerate him?"

"…"

Mo Ruyi bit her lip, "Sister Nan, can't you be more accommodating? Don't worry, Mo Xiu and I have no idea about the position of the Patriarch."

"Heh, a fool and an adopted daughter dare to spy on the position of Patriarch too? Your thinking is pretty beautiful."

"No, I'm talking about…"

"Don't talk about it, the Second Young Master gave you a chance before, but you didn't cherish it, so who is to blame?"

"I…" Mo Ruyi was sad.

After a while, she knelt down to Lin Nan and begged, "Sister Nan, I beg you! Mo Xiu, he… he really can't leave the Mo Family."

"So what? What does it have to do with me?"

Lin Nan sneered and waved to the few family guards behind her, "Do it, since they don't want to leave by themselves, then throw them out."

"Yes." The few guards nodded and rushed out immediately, preparing to enter the house and arrest Mo Xiu.

At this moment, they heard a "bang" suddenly, and the door was opened. Mo Xiu who dressed in white could be seen walking out of the room.

Seeing Mo Xiu with her first glance, Lin Nan could not help but stunned for a moment, and muttered secretly, "Isn't this Mo Xiu a fool? Why…"

The Eldest Young Master of the Mo Family was a fool. This was recognized by the Mo Family and even the entire Sun Martial City. He had never spoken a word and even needed help from people when eating and drinking.

But at this time, Mo Xiu, who was walking out of his room was with a high spirit. Even the slightest stupid appearance couldn't be seen.

The family guards who were planning to rush into the house were also stunned, standing still, and not knowing whether they should continue to take action or not.

Mo Ruyi stood up all of sudden and walked over to Mo Xiu quickly, frowning, "Mo Xiu, why did you come out?"

As if worried about Mo Xiu being attacked, she stopped in front of Mo Xiu, looking like she would not let others hurt Mo Xiu in any way.

Promptly, a hand was placed on her shoulder.

She couldn't help but tremble a little. Then she turned her head to look at Mo Xiu, and heard Mo Xiu said, "Leave it to me."

"What…" Mo Ruyi was shocked.

Mo Xiu did not try to explain. He put his hand back, staggered his figure, and came to the front of Mo Ruyi. Then he looked at the bewildered family guards, then looked at Lin Nan, and said, "You want to drive us out?"

Lin Nan took a deep breath and could not figure out why Mo Xiu suddenly changed from a fool to a normal person, but for now, she could only answer, "So what?"

Mo Xiu looked cold, "What are you? When did it become a servant's turn to call the shots for the Mo Family?"

"You…!" Lin Nan was furious.

It was true that it did not have her turn to call the shots for the Mo Family, but she was ordered to come here this time.

Besides, in the Mo Family, she was protected by Mo Wuxian, and could always act domineeringly. And also because she had climbed the bed and made love with Mo Wuxian several times, she was almost half the master.

She was the only one who always humiliated others, when had anyone ever humiliated her?

Her chest was up and down, and she quickly said to the family guards, "What are you doing in a daze? Throw them both out for me!"

After a period of consternation, the several guards finally decided to take action again.

However, as they rolled up their sleeves and just took a short step forward, they hard Mo Xiu yelled, "Who dares to be presumptuous?"

At the same time, terrifying coercion swept away from Mo Xiu, and everyone was unable to move. They also felt suffocating and uncomfortable all over.

Although Lin Nan was farther away from Mo Xiu, she still felt the terrifying pressure very clearly.

She couldn't help but stunned, her face was full of disbelief, "Why… how could there be such a terrifying power?"

Under this terrifying coercion, she actually gave birth to a trace of fear. And this fear did not seem to come from her heart, but more like it came from the depth of her soul as if it would not take long for her to be frightened.

Just when she was about to collapse, the pressure disappeared.

Mo Xiu's face was expressionless, but his voice was extremely cold, "Go away. If you let me see you step into this yard again, be careful that I let your soul fly away."

Lin Nan's face was pale. She was in a cold sweat as though walking in front of a ghost gate. There was still a trace of panic in her eyes.

With the experience just now, she had no doubt about Mo Xiu's words.

She did not know why Mo Xiu, who was originally a fool, suddenly became so terrible. But she knew that she could not accomplish what the Second Young Master Mo Wuxian confessed to her.

It was really going to be fatal to say in this place!

She glanced at Mo Xiu with a complicated expression, turned, and left without saying a word.

When those guards who obeyed Lin Nan's order saw this, they naturally followed and fled in embarrassment.

In the blink of an eye, only Mo Xiu and Mo Ruyi were left in the entire courtyard.

Mo Ruyi turned and looked at Mo Xiu.

She seemed to be unable to react, and murmured, "Mo Xiu, are you Mo Xiu?"

Mo Xiu nodded, "It's me."

He raised his hand, stroked the left half of Mo Ruyi's cheek lightly, and asked, "What's the matter with this scar?"

Although she was not the real Eldest Lady of the Mo Family, Mo Ruyi's appearance was extremely beautiful, with a graceful figure, a face like a princess, fair skin, exquisite features, and her eyes were pure like spring water.

Three days ago, there was no scar on Mo Ruyi's cheek. Now, the existence of this scar almost ruined a beauty.

Mo Ruyi did not seem to expect that Mo Xiu would ask this. She took a short step back, raised her hand to cover her left cheek, and whispered, "Sorry, I scared you."

Mo Ruyi shook his head slightly, and asked, "Did Lin Nan do it?"

"No." Mo Ruyi quickly denied.

After thinking about it, she replied, "I scratched it myself."

"Why?" Mo Xiu was puzzled.

"Wuxian, he… he wanted me to be his concubine, but I didn't agree." Mo Ruyi explained in a low voice.

Mo Xiu understood. Most of it came from the news of Mo Zhuo's death. Mo Wuxian had admired Mo Ruyi's beauty a long time ago, now that an opportunity came, he wanted to force Mo Ruyi to be his wife.

Firstly, Mo Ruyi did not like Mo Wuxian. Secondly, she was worried that no one would take care of Mo Xiu, so she destroyed her own appearance and cut off Mo Wuxian's thoughts.

Mo Xiu guessed that Mo Wuxian really stopped thinking about Mo Ruyi completely. Otherwise, he would not send Lin Nan at this time, wanting to drive him and Mo Ruyi out of the house.

Just being kicked out of the house was nothing. He was afraid that the real killer moves were yet to come. After all, no one in this family dared to kill them openly, but it would be different after being kicked out of the house.

It was estimated that it was precisely knowing this that Mo Ruyi would plead hard, hoping to stay in the house.

Thinking of this, Mo Xiu said, "With me here, no one can bully you in the future."

"Okay." Although Mo Ruyi did not know where Mo Xiu's confidence came from, but she was inexplicably relieved.

Soon, she remembered something again, and said with some anxiety, "Lin Nan wants to drive us out, probably because of Wuxian or even Second Uncle. Even if they fail this time, they will definitely not give up."
