Chapter 15: A warm night
It's been a few days and all people from the Xiong Kingdom are here, Chiyou is already here.
The event day is just a few days away so he is staying in the palace with Sun Mo and now that the three brothers have also come, they are also staying in the same palace.
It's clear that a fight will break someday but for now it's all calm.
Nighttime-
Sun Mo had some work so he is away and Chiyou was getting bored, thus he decided to explore the garden area of the palace that is joined with the main palace where the King and Queen live.
Fang Huizhong asked Chiyou if he should come or not and Chiyou said no to him.
Chiyou knows that the more he walks on the ground, the more he will lose his vision due to the disease but he doesn't care much.
He is not the type of person who stays in one place just because they fear something wrong will happen if they step out.
Right now Chiyou is roaming around the garden area and while he explored the garden, he came across the lake.
It's a big lake and Chiyou can see the reflection of the moon on the water clearly.
He looked up at the moon and then back at its reflection.
For a while he kept looking at the reflection of the moon, he has something in his mind but he don't have any weapon right now.
"Let's just try it with hands only" Chiyou said as he waved his right hand at a very high speed as if he is slashing something, and then remains still for a second as he looked at the reflection of the moon.
The moon's image on the water is no longer the same as the image is being cut in two parts without making the smallest distortion around the whole lake.
Soon, the cut is filled again and the moon's reflection is back to normal
Chiyou walks away.
. . .
Queen Xiong Wenling is also taking a walk and as she looked around the flower field, she saw someone.
A man who has a tail and a single horn on his head
A man whose eyes have no feeling for anything in the world and they are looking right now at her.
Chiyou could see that there is someone in front of him but her face is not clear to him and neither he can tell from the aura or Qi of the female who she is
Every person Chiyou has met so far, he has remembered their Qi, and even with his eyes closed, he can tell who is who, but its the first time he has met this female
But still, Chiyou can see that the ornament on the female's body is all gold and there is no way that a normal person would have such things.
Its clear that she is royalty, most probably a queen
"My respect to Queen Xiong Wenling" Chiyou said as he cupped his hand and bowed his head to her
Sun Mo don't have any mother and the guest who came today is from the Xiong Kingdom and there is only one female among them.
So that's how Chiyou predicted who she is
Queen Xiong Wenling was not ready, she hesitated a little when Chiyou came but she calmed herself and then said "King Chiyou, please don't bow your head to other's, it won't be good for a status of a king"
At this, Chiyou raised his head and said "I may have become a king, but i haven't forgotten my mother's word,
My mother always told me that i should respect elders and you are bigger than me, so how can i not pay my respect?"
Xiong Wenling is surprised to hear such words from his mouth
"What happened highness?"
Chiyou got worried after hearing no words from her for a few seconds, he further asked "Is it my face that is making you uncomfortable?"
"Why ask such a question?" Xiong Wengling asked in a worried tone
"isn't it normal for people to be uncomfortable after seeing my face?"
"Maybe, but not everyone is the same.
Others may feel discomfort, but i don't feel such discomfort.
It's just that i was surprised when i heard your words, i thought after you made your kingdom you would have become arrogant just like other kings of their kingdom.
But i was wrong" Xiong Wenling said in a calm tone
This time, Chiyou is surprised to hear that someone is not feeling discomfort from his face.
Queen Wenling further said "King Chiyou, don't feel down because other hate you or feel discomfort,
after all, there will be people who will love you for who you are.
So, have some pride in yourself"
Chiyou is surprised, he remained silent for a while
"What happens King Chiyou, are you not feeling well? or did i say something wrong?"
"Nothing, i was just surprised by your thoughts" Chiyou said with a warm smile
Queen Wenling turned her face towards the field of the flower as for some reason, she could bear to see the warm smile of Chiyou,
She said "Your parents, if they were alive, must have been proud seeing your strength and skills.
You are truly a talented individual that can rarely be seen"
Chiyou is happy to hear these words
Then she asked, "By the way King Chiyou, are you sure that your parents are real parents?"
At this question, Chiyou frowned his eyes a little, he asked "Why to ask such a question?"
"Nothing, i have heard that it a very rare case that a child is born between human and demi-human, that's why i became curious after seeing your strength when you fought against my son, Xiong Bo
After all, it's a well known fact that even if a child is born between demi-human and human, the child is weak and can't survive long
That's why...
I am sorry if i have offended you"
Chiyou smiled and said "No, there is no need to feel sorry.
What you have said is certainly true, and your question does have some weight.
Yes, I am not the real son of my parents"
"WHAT?!"
