Demon King/The Parting of the Orchid and Cang Chapter 27.2

“It’s a pity that the stolen treasures, for many years I have searched for and was not able to find them all back.”

Little Orchid swallowed the piece of pastry and looked around, “But your place has a lot of treasures already.” She pointed to the incense pot on the table, “The fragrance can tell the twelve hours, and the Ying Yang rock can tell the weather in this pavilion. From before, along the path to here, I saw water moat in your lake… but such thing should be made less. Putting it on eyes will see unclean things.”

Qian Yin langjun heard what Little Orchid said, and the smile on the face slowly extinguished. The smile had several parts of staring blankly, “You…know them?”

Little Orchid nodded, “En, know a few but your place has several strange ancient stuff. I cannot know all, merely…”

Qian Yin langjun suddenly grabbed Little Orchid’s hands with a burning gaze, “You follow me.” It seemed that he was excited. As if receiving a precious treasure, he pulled Little Orchid from the pavilion, but not several steps in, there was a black shadow that halted them.

“Cannot langjun.”

Little Orchid recognized this voice. At Lin Hai city, Qian Yin langjun wanted to bring her to Qian Yin mountain and this voice also stopped them. At that time she only saw a black shadow. At this time, only saw…a black shadow.

This person used black fabric to cover the whole body from the bottom and even the face cannot be seen clearly.

Qian Yin langjun avoided and pulled Little Orchid several steps forward, “It’s okay, it’s okay. This little spirit’s nature is simple/pure.”

“Lang…”

The person from behind wanted to say additional stuff, but Little

Orchid cannot hear clearly.

In the end, Little Orchid did not get to eat anything and was pulled by Qian Yin langjun into a room. He pressed a spot in the book shelves and the book shelves moved. A secret door appeared.

Little Orchid quickly covered face, “I will not look, I will not look. Master has said seeing a secret will die fast.”

Qian Yin langjun laughed, “I will protect you and guarantee you will not die.” He said it out quite naturally and caused Little Orchid to be shock. Within that time, he grabbed her hands to take away, “Come, I will lead you.”

He led Little Orchid under the ground and inside was quite dark. Only the light of Qian Yin langjun’s lantern was the source of light. The path in front has several forks. At first Little Orchid was able to remember the right fork or left fork, but after her brain got confused and let Qian Yin langjun lead the way.

Qian Yin langjun was extremely mindful. After walking a while, [he] would turn around and spoke with Little Orchid, “Are you scared? If you are then hold onto my arm.”

Naturally Little Orchid does not hold, but she was touched by his thoughtfulness.

Walking up to the end of the path, Qian Yin langjun opened a door. Precious jewels immediately lighted up the area brilliantly.

Little Orchid’s face was also illuminated up by the light and gaped for a while whilst looking and speaking, “Wow…” Translations belong to Chocolate Cosmos 

The place was looking like a mountain full of treasures, and its strong imposing manner was even more than the Heavenly palace. There were stuff that Little Orchid knew, but there were also things that

that even her master has never seen. Little Orchid surprisingly peered at Qian Yin langjun, “You…how can you get so many things like this?”

Qian Yin langjun faintly smiled, “Thus, I’ve said that I really like collecting treasures ah.” He entered, “The things in here, half of them I do not know, but perhaps of natural-born intuition, treasures have their own energies. When I was traveling in the mortal realm, would see such and thus collect.” He turned around to look at Little Orchid, “If you know something, can you tell me? Each day I will ordered someone to cook something delicious for you to eat.”

Little Orchid’s eyes shone.     Translations brought to you by Chocolate Cosmos 

Thus on that day, Qian Yin langjun has given her a brush and a notebook to write down the name and history along with the usage of the many identified treasures. In the beginning, he was excited as his eyes followed the treasures and would be extremely joyful for a while after a treasure was identified.

But after more into it, Qian Yin langjun did not look at the treasures anymore, but looked attentively at Little Orchid and lips would purse up a smile.

Right at that time, Little Orchid was holding onto a pearl and was pondering for quite a while, “This pearl looked quite familiar, what’s its name?”

Qian Yin langjun smiled lightly, “You stay here and try to figure it out first. I will order people to make food for you.” Little Orchid bit the head of the brush and nodded. Does not know whether brain has listened to what he has said. Qian Yin langjun smiled lovingly and then carried the lantern/light outside, leaving Little Orchid

Little Orchid to contemplate from all angles inside the treasure cave.

With the door closing, the black shadow appeared in front of Qian Yin langjun, “Qian Yin langjun, how come you allowed her to be alone in there?”

The light from the lantern shone on the warm expression of Qian Yin langjun, “Obviously has to place a treasure along with other treasures, there’s nothing wrong with that.” He said, “This lady falling into the hands of another will be a pity.” He then walked away.

The black shadow looked at the stone door for a while then disappeared.

Little Orchid was still sitting inside the treasures and painstakingly racking brain to remember. She held onto the brush and stood up. She would walk and then muttered, “What is its name…” She came to the wall and then head leaned against the wall, “Ai…Looking at so much has jumbled up everything.”

Suddenly Little Orchid felt the wall from behind began to move.

She temporarily sensed nothing out of the ordinary until under feet “ka” one sound. Little Orchid spit out the head tip of the brush, “Done for…” The two words did not finished as [she] felt fierce loss of gravity has arrived.

Little Orchid felt the atmosphere was changing until she felt her butt was in pain. She then realized that she has been thrown to the ground. But at this time, she finally remembered the bead’s name— Ye Guang Zhu*. But normally Ye Guang Zhu was only as big as a thumb. This pearl here was as big as a fist. Cannot blame her for holding onto it for a while as [she] felt familiar but does not know the name…

* Meaning luminous pearl.     Translations belonging to bananachocolatecosmos blog to bananachocolatecosmos blog and is translated by Chocolate Cosmos, 2017-present. Do not take translations without permission.

Little Orchid brushed off her butt and stood up. She rubbed Ye Guang Zhu over her head and discovered that the secret cave area was dark. The beginning of it was covered by a rock and the path she fell through was not seen, “What is it again…”

She waved Ye Guang Zhu out and its glaucous light was suddenly shining hazily at someone’s face. Little Orchid was suddenly frozen and was scared as she breathed in the cold air. She tossed the Ye Guang Zhu away and hugged her face while screaming repeatedly, “Ghost, ghost, ghost!”

Little Orchid hugged face shakily for a while and did not hear movement. Thus, she pointed toward that direction.

Within the hazy light of the Ye Guang Zhu, there was someone there who was standing. That person’s gaze was examining her from bottom to top. Still was that pair of clothes/gown, still was that long hair, and was still that unchanging, condescending expression.

“Big….big devil!” Little Orchid shouted in alarm.

Dong Fang Qing Cang coldly snorted and moved his lips to smile sinisterly and hatefully, “So it’s you ah, little flower demon.”

Little Orchid pointed at him, “You,you,you…how come you are here?”

“This question should ask at you.” Dong Fang Qing Cang said, “How come you can still live as if your soul did not disperse?”

He obviously knew that body had a problem! Little Orchid gritted teeth with a creaking sound, “You are the soul that does not disperse!”
