Ways to handle this little demon

It was finally the end of a lengthy day full of work and harsh training. A peaceful night had come once again. Whilst the others were going according to their usual routine, a certain crew of people were holding a reunion party at a little pavilion near snow white chamber.

The scenery around was superb. This pavilion existed right in the middle of jade-like lake with white lotus flowers blossoming all over. From here, one could behold the tranquil scenery of the night sky with perfect adornment of silvery moonlight. In fact, the pavilion was personally designed and constructed under the instruction of immortal Wang for his mistress.

" Xie Feng is just too beautiful. Didi, tell me. Where did you find such a beautiful kid? "

Wang Meilin who was impressed by the alluring look of her didi's so-called company, asked in a teasing tone which had Ren Haitao got a sudden urge to hide a certain someone. What's wrong with his sis and her children anyway?

First, it was Wang Li Jie who said Xie Feng to take off his clothing to prove he really was a male. And then, there was Wang Li Mei who kept asking him to lend Xie Feng to him . The girl gave an excuse it was to show Xie Feng sceneries around villages down the mountain. But who would believe it? Ren Haitao was not that stupid to believe such a lame excuse when the girl had been eyeing his Xie Feng like a princess who just met her destined prince.

And the last but not least, it was his sis Meilin who kept calling Xie Feng this kid, that kid. Just what's wrong with her eyes? Obviously, Xie Feng was merely a month or two younger than himself. The way she referred to Xie Feng indeed made him feel like he himself had aged a decade more or so, giving him an uneasy feeling as if he didn't suit a youthful Xie Feng no longer. The only one who didn't bother to annoy him here was his dear brother-in-law who would stay silent half the time and utter a word or two only when needed.

" Gege, gege, why don't you help me change uncle Ren's mind, hmm? He was not even a local here. With him as a guide, I bet you won't properly get to see the most beautiful sceneries of the mountain. Could you persuade uncle to let me borrow you tomorrow, hmm?"'

At the girl's words, Xie Feng who was downing a bowl of steaming beef congee raised up his gaze to take a look at Ren Haitao. But then, he averted his eyes instantly when met with the other's cold eyes which seemed to be saying

" Don't even think about it. You are mine."

" Sorry, young miss. Even his own niece like you can't persuade him. How can it be even possible for me? I'm nothing but a mere subordinate of lord Ren."

Ren Haitao's lips twitched, hearing a particular sentence of " I'm nothing but a mere subordinate of lord Ren." Yeah…..it seemed like in Xie Feng's heart, he was nothing but a lord he had to serve simply because of his duty. Things got colder between them since three months ago when he found Xie Feng back at the river of heaven and hell.

After all, it had been ten years already since they last met, not to mention Ren Haitao forced Yin Clan to hand Xie Feng over as a tribute. The reason why this person was still on his side was just for the safety of his own clan. For Xie Feng, he had no real attachment for himself anymore....not even like a friend or a bro back in the old days like ten years ago.

" What? This kid is...this kid is your subordinate?!"

Spitting out a mouthful of water, Mistress Wang said in astonishment. Wang Li Jie and Wang Li Mei gave confused looks to their mother. There's nothing wrong with a beautiful kid being a subordinate of their uncle, wasn't it? As for the two kids they wouldn't think it was something peculiar who had known their uncle as some normal businessman. But for mistress Wang, she was really taken aback because being a subordinate of his brother meant this kid was from demon realm. She simply thought Xie Feng was an average mortal who had somehow got close to her brother.

Because, you see, in his own demonic Clan, this brother of hers never bothered to care about his subordinates, let alone bringing one to her husband's sect with himself for a visit. A clan leader who saw his subordinates as nothing but lowly lives…..that was how her brother originally was, so she was a little taken aback.

And there's also another reason for her to mistake Xie Feng for a human...because just look at this kid. In demon realm where she grew up, there really was no subordinate in her Lang Clan to be described their appearance as presentable. She and Ren Haitao were an exception, of course.

Well...maybe this kid was from another demonic clan. Even so, as much as she knew, no clan in demon realm had such a cute member. Or could it be that the appearance of demons in their realm had become more and more presentable, but she didn't know it just because it'd been a long time since she cut ties with demon realm?

" Meilin, are you okay?"

Grabbing the kerchief handed by her husband, the embarrassed mistress wiped her lips elegantly.

" Mom, you should go change your clothes. Even if spring is coming and the weather is getting warmer, you shouldn't wear damp clothes."

" Don't worry. I just spit out a mere mouthful of water. It's not like an entire tub of water is poured out all over me or something."

Seeing his son nodded, a vague smile curved on her lips. Now that she thought about it, this kid....he had been overly quiet the whole time. Before the dinner started, Wang Li Jie told her that he had mistakened Xie Feng for a lady and asked him if he was Ren Haitao's wife or something. It shouldn't be that this kid didn't say anything the entire time just because he was too embarrassed to even utter a word? But that didn't sound like her son at all.

In fact, mistress Wang's instinct was true. Wang Li Jie had been a very quiet kid for the whole good hour not because he was embarrassed or something. To tell the truth, it was because of his own body.

Wang Li Jie was all fine up until the point he came out of white lotus chamber to this pavilion. The youth was still on his way here and yet to arrive the pavilion when his right chest got ached all of a sudden. He wouldn't call it something serious if other areas on his body throbbed or ached like that.

After all, with his weak body condition and several harsh training, it was almost like a regular occurrence to him to get ached or sore all over everyday. But this time, he knew it was worrisome because the place where the ache came from….it was from his core...it was from his core area. Worse yet, the pain kept getting worse and worse with time instead of recovering.

Even by now, Wang Li Jie could barely maintain a straight face to conceal the pain. Telling his mom or dad was out of question. He didn't want to make the two worried. There was that sword cut from deathly ice blade on his body which was yet to heal. Even the swelling around his neck hadn't disappeared completely yet. To heal completely, the bruise should take another week or two.. It seemed like, tomorrow, he should discuss this matter with his little master first.
