Chapter 153: Younger Demon, Dowon (2)

Excuse me?

Hongyeon doubted her ears.

Putting her palms on the bottom, she solely lifted her face to query Cheonma.

Did I hear flawed?

The previous man pulled out a smoking pipe from his bosom with a frozen expression.

Smoke started to rise from it.

The pungent scent of unfiltered tobacco wafted by the air.

Its a very good factor for you, isnt it? The man you disliked is dying.

Hongyeon held her breath and calmed her trembling coronary heart.

Her palms on the ground have been shaking.

The succession subject is not a fear, proper?

Simply because the previous man mentioned.

With the Younger Demon dying, there was not a necessity to fret about his successor.

However together with his demise, greater issues would come up.

Did he understand how a lot that man had achieved right here up to now?

Dozens of youngsters owe their lives to his grace, and a whole lot of ladies have averted crime due to him.

How a lot Dowon could be shaken simply by his demise.

It was too important a difficulty to easily transfer on from.

Is that, your personal phrases?

Hongyeon herself was not comfy.

Sure.

Please, inform me the rationale! Why precisely?

Hongyeon raised her voice in questioning.

A perplexed expression as if she nonetheless hadnt grasped actuality. The information was too horrific to just accept suddenly.

But, she instinctively knew.

She had made an enormous mistake.

Theres no have to know the rationale. He was meant to die from the beginning.

He was too good a expertise to die.

The lack of a person with no less than 9 layers of wings but to unfold, it wasnt one thing to finish in mere remorse.

Only a second please!

Past urgency, it was desperation.

The previous man furrowed his brows and coldly murmured.

Dont whine. Its already been determined.

The previous man stood up, scattering cigarette smoke as he handed by Hongyeon.

She rapidly turned her head and grabbed on the previous mans gown.

With only one step, the previous man simply shook her off.

-Click on.

The sound of a door opening forward.

It appeared shut but as if it got here from a far place.

Shocked, Hongyeon stood dazed earlier than lifting her head once more on the sound.

Simply earlier than the door closed, she managed to shout.

Father

Click on. The closing door halted.

Please.

Why does that individual have to die? The place precisely?

Her mind was spinning quickly.

Even her good thoughts couldnt totally grasp the scenario now.

Is it due to the succession subject? If thats the case, I misunderstood if that individual turns into Cheonma.

Hongyeon.

The previous man, his feelings carved out, coldly minimize her off.

Hongyeon gasped for breath.

You’re the chief of Dowon.

Sure.

Since when might you query my choices?

Unimaginable.

Chief Hongyeon, her position was to not advise.

All of Dowons authority has been transferred to you. Are you attempting to mess issues up with private emotions?

What you have to do is to not change the determined issues however to nurture the way forward for Dowon. You could take care of the issues that may come up within the course of prematurely.

I do know that.

Cruelly, each phrase was spot on.

Hongyeon felt as if her coronary heart was being carved out.n0ve(l)bi(n.)co/m

Curious in regards to the purpose? Whats there to alter by understanding?

Satisfying curiosity is perhaps one thing, however considering you’ll be able to change occasions was boastful and overly self-confident.

The previous man stood for an extended whereas.

Hongyeons face appeared half-lost.

Was it as a result of he caught sight of her expression?

To stop the outcry, the Younger Demon dies for Dowon. Thats all there’s to it.

-Thud.

With these last phrases, the previous man left.

Outcry. There have been plans from the skin to subjugate Cheonma.

The truth that Dowon had been secure till now was because of the invaders not attacking, understanding Cheonmas life was nearing its finish.

However was the skin starting to make secret strikes once more?

What?

[I understand what youre saying, but my true form is currently under the management of the Japanese government.]

So, entry was utterly off-limits?

The concept of forcing my means in crossed my thoughts, however that appeared too difficult.

Even when I have been keen to betray human ethics, I longed for the World Timber energy, however I lacked the braveness to go that far.

[Even if you managed to steal it, its uncertain how the traits would manifest.]

Is that so?

[And I dont plan to let it be stolen, hehe.]

The World Tree of Time laughed.

I frowned on the annoying sound of its laughter.

[Even the previous Tree Spirit King couldnt steal my power. In fact it was only because I sealed my body at the last moment that I narrowly avoided being violated.]

Ailing take that as you being a virgin with no expertise.

[Thats too much.]

The flexibility to transcend time or area was certainly fascinating, however its additionally true that attaining it was unimaginable.

I puzzled how robust this World Tree bastard was?

They mentioned a flame burned brightest simply earlier than it went out, however its certain to be lower than at its peak.

Its arduous to even think about what sort of state it was in throughout these days.

[Back then, there were few trees () that could follow me.]

Spectacular.

Thump. Thump.

With ash clinging to the blackened branches I positioned beside the rock, I seemed up on the moonlit sky.

Was it going to rain?

Darkish clouds have been gathering within the distance.

Do World Timber possess their powers from beginning?

[Whether human or tree, upon reaching a certain level, one possesses a single power. Its easier to say it governs a certain concept.]

Thus, the World Tree of Time had energy associated to time.

The World Tree of Therapeutic possessed powers associated to therapeutic.

It appeared there was a naming conference based mostly on the idea they ruled.

Nevertheless, wanting on the World Tree of Purity and the World Tree of Resentment, their names didnt appear instantly associated to their talents.

[It varies. Many World Trees change their names after undergoing transformations. Of course, their roots do not change.]

Roots?

[Im referring to the species of the tree.]

What species of tree are you?

[.]

The World Tree of Time fell silent.

[Are you curious?]

In fact, I used to be curious.

There have been totally different species even amongst World Timber. How might I not have an interest within the kings of the World Tree world?

After hesitating, the World Tree lastly talked about a reputation.

[Baekyang a white poplar.]

Its flower language signified time, the previous.

This completely matched the present scenario of turning again to the previous.

So, your identify is Baekyang?

[There is no name.]

Dont be so stiff.

I didnt suppose theres a necessity to stay to formalities once we didnt have a lot time left collectively.

I had benefited so much from her, and shes going to profit so much from me.

Baekyang.

[Huh. Yes.]

Baekyang appeared to acknowledge it with a sigh, a slight embarrassment detectable in her response.

Earlier than I’m going again, I wished to say thanks.

Not all World Timber have been ineffective.

These beings had their very own ideas and acted in accordance with a cost-benefit evaluation.

Shes the one who made me notice this truth.

And he or she was the one who gave me the chance to alter the long run, displaying a kindness.

[I thank you, too. I will remember it for a lifetime, even as I wither.]

Thats greater than sufficient.

I by no means thought Id make pals with a tree in my life.

[If only the previous Tree Spirit King had been someone like you, how wonderful that would have been.]

She saved repeating significant phrases.

It appeared like she was turning again to the previous, however asking extra about it appeared misplaced.

I seemed into the space and slowly rose to my ft.

-Thump.

Raindrops started to fall.

I might faintly sense traces of magical energy.

A well-recognized previous voice got here from proper behind me.

Its time to get shifting.

Have you ever advised every little thing?

Solely to Hongyeon.

It appears its not but time for Cheondo.

I wished to see her crying face and luxury her, however time didn’t allow.

Understood.

With a decided face, I dusted off my fists.

I had been able to battle for a very long time.
