Demon in the Human World

Loud cheers of the people can be heard in the demon world. These cheers are for Demon King's son Xuan Hao, usually called as the young master by everyone there. As he was walking in the street towards his palace the people kept coming forward and bowing before him. Seeing this sight the young master, Xuan Hao is overwhelmed.

He reached the palace premises when his personal assistant Giyu came there running. He bowed before him and said, "Welcome the victorious young master". Xuan Hao smiled seeing him and told him not to bow before him.

Giyu smiled and raised his head. He took the sword from his master's hand and told him to come inside.

After two years Xuan Hao returned to his home place. As soon as he entered the palace the guards bowed before him. He looked around and then looked at the sky. Taking a deep breath, inhaling the fresh air of his place he started walking towards his palace.

The smell of flowers from the garden can be inhaled while walking in the palace premises. Xuan Hao reached the stairs of the main house where his family lives and stopped in front of the stairs. Seeing him stopped, Giyu and other personal servants stopped after him.

"What happened, young master?", asked Giyu, looking at him. Xuan Hao turned his face to Giyu and said, "Giyu I think I should go to my place first. I'll take a bath in rose water then I'll come here to meet my family". Saying this he turned towards the left direction of the main house. Giyu and the other servants followed him towards his place.

As soon as he reached his chamber he laid down on the cushioned bed which he had missed for two years. Turning and tossing around on his bed for some time he closed his eyes putting a smile on his lips.

"Young master you said you want to take a bath but you are sleeping. It's not good. Lord Haya has called for you so you should hurry up", said Giyu standing slightly far from Xuan's bed.

"Giyu, fan over me for a while. It's so hot here", said Xuan Hao with closer eyes.

Giyu quickly took the fan from the small table which is situated quite far from the bed and started fanning his young master. "Ahhh...What a pleasure I'm getting....", said Xuan Hao and then laid on the support of his belly.

"Please bring some fresh fruits for me.....I'm craving for the taste of my place", said Xuan. Giyu loudly called for Bibi, who is the personal maid of Xuan Hao. Bibi came running inside and with her bowed head stood beside Giyu. "Go bring some fresh fruits for the young master", said Giyu to the maid while fanning. Bibi nodded and walked away from there.

Xuan opened his eyes and looked around his chamber. His big portrait is still on the wall which his mother made for him two years ago. Beside the portrait there's a wall hanging which was gifted by his elder brother on his 19th birthday. He turned his eyes to the left side of his room and found the same table with the same ink pot and brushes over it. Turning his eyes to the left he found the same cushioned resting swing for him which is actually in the open air in front of a small garden.

Sighing, he laid down again and said, "nothing has changed in my chamber. It's good....I'm happy. But I'm thinking of adding a small pool in my garden so that I can be in that pool whenever I want to". Saying this he looked at Giyu and asked, "How much time will you take to do this?"

"Young master, I need a week,'' said Giyu, still fanning him.

"That's too much. Just do it in 2 days", said Xuan and again closed his eyes.

"It's impossible. The worker isn't even able to dig a proper hole in two days", said Giyu.

Xuan smiled and opened his eyes and looked at him again, "Then be ready to get punished".

"Young master this is too much. Okay I'll get it done in two days", said Giyu when Bibi came there with fruits in a plate. Giyu stopped fanning Xuan and said, "Young master has these delicious fruits". Xuan got seated on his bed and started eating.

"Mmm....So tasty....After two years I'm eating the fruits of my land", said Xuan Hao and smiled.

Bibi put the tray on the table beside his bed and walked out of his chamber. "Young master, after you're done eating we will go to meet Lord Haya. He will get angry if..."

Xuan cut the words of Giyu and said, "Father will never get angry on me because I'm his youngest son".

"I know the young master but then I'll be punished....", said Giyu with fear.

"Haha....don't worry I'll protect you then", said Xuan and puts a grape in his mouth. After he was done eating he went to take his favourite rose bath.

He came inside his chamber wearing his silk robe on and again laid down on the bed with his one hand supporting his head and the other over his leg.

Suddenly Giyu came running inside and said, "Lord Haya is coming here". Hearing this Xuan immediately stood up from his bed and put on his remaining robes as fast as he could.

The door fell open and Xuan's father, Lord Haya came inside. Giyu immediately bowed down before him. "Leave us", said Lord Haya with a deep voice. Hearing this Giyu went out of his young master's chamber.

"Father I was going to come", said Xuan with lowered eyes. His father rested himself on the cushioned ground mattress. Xuan gets seated opposite his father.

"You again make us proud", said Haya and smiled. Seeing his father smiling Xuan too smiled.

"Xuan I'm here because a big problem has arisen", said Haya.

"What?", mumbled Xuan.

"The youngest son of western head demon lord has escaped to the human world taking the immortal drink of heaven which was gifted by the heavenly angels to us years ago under a treaty. If he hasn't been caught early and brought here he can put not only the human world in danger but also this world", said Haya looking at his son, Xuan.

"So what should I do?", asked Xuan with a raised brow.

"Bring him here along with that immortal drink. You've to go to the human world and bring him here....", said Haya with affirmation.

Listening to this Xuan makes me happy. He immediately agreed with his father and said, "Don't worry father I'll bring him here". Haya smiled hearing this and said, "fine then. You'll enter the human world today at evening time. You can take Giyu along with you..."

"Okay father. I'll go there with Giyu but before that I want to ask something", said Xian with a serious look.

"Ask", said Haya.

"What if it falls into a human's hand?"asked Xuan with a serious look.

"Then bad things can happen. You know the consequences", said Haya with a grim look.

"Father, why did he take that bottle there?", asked Xuan.

"Actually he has been given a task in the human world since long but this time he returned for a while and without anyone's knowledge he took the drink there. Although the drink isn't that strong for us demons but for humans it's quite effective", said Haya.

"Okay father don't worry. I'll do this task", said Xuan.

"You've one year time period to do this. If you'll fail then you'll be punished for this", said Haya.

"Father I'll find him in a day or at most a week I'll take", said Xuan with a smile. "It's isn't that easy son. If it had been easy then I would've given this task to someone else. You're chosen for this because of a certain reason", said Haya and got up from the mattress.

Xuan too got up and said, "Okay father. Let's go then....I've to meet my mother too after such a long time". Both father and son left from the chamber to the main house.
