Little Demon Reversion to Youth

Chapter 181

As Baekji, who was being watched by everyone including Bi Jun-hua, started talking excitedly, he kept eating food, so his words were cut off in the middle. So the listeners were even more tantalized.

"The 'Soul Demon' also appeared. He was a gloomy old man... hmm, this tastes just okay. Anyway, because all sorts of brats were rushing at me to cut off the So family's line... 'jjeop, jjeop'... I had to fight a fierce battle. I barely managed to enter the So family... but they only took care of their own bloodline... and they didn't even offer me a cup of tea. So I came out."

When Baekji became resentful at the part about the So family, Ye-a shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! The Young Lord loved a woman of the Bi family and lived alone his entire life! There's no way he would have a brat like you as a grandson!"

At Ye-a's words, everyone came to their senses. The fact that the Young Lord was single was a widely known fact. A grandson out of nowhere...

"This brat is trying to scam someone..."

Bi Jun-hua shouted.

"Come out before I drag you out."

"I don't want to. Call the 'Law Enforcement Hall'!"

Baekji had no intention of getting up. He had heard from the Demonic Advisor that once he passed the gate called 'Mingjiao Tianxia', he should never hit or fight anyone.

Although the Demonic Advisor was worried that Baekji would beat people up... coincidentally, Baekji was benefiting from it.

'Is he really the descendant of the Young Lord?'

Chi Gang's mind became complicated. Seeing how Baekji was holding out and telling them to call the 'Law Enforcement Hall', it didn't seem like he was a spy.

It wasn't that the Demonic Cult forbade the entry of outsiders. The villages outside the fortress were freely accessible to outside merchants. If you had a pass, you could even go to the outer fortress.

From the inner fortress, it was only possible if you held a position within the sect.

Chi Gang asked, just in case, "You say you are the descendant of the Young Lord, but do you have a divine object to prove it?"

When Baekji took out the monkey divine object again, Bi Jun-hua snorted.

"Don't play any tricks. I have never heard that the Young Lord used such a divine object."

Baekji rolled his eyes and then stood up. Then he,l took off the hero's headband that was wrapped around his forehead. His smooth forehead was revealed, and a red scar was revealed.

"That's!"

Chi Gang shouted. He had participated as a member of the martial force when the Young Lord had struck the Blood Sect.

He vividly remembered the red scar engraved on the Young Lord's forehead.

A bloodstain like a red wing.

He had even seriously considered engraving the same scar on his own forehead, but he had stopped because of the surrounding people's dissuasion that he would have his neck cut for imitating the Young Lord.

"You know what this scar is, right?"

"What about it?"

Bi Jun-hua asked bluntly.

"I had it engraved to honor my grandfather, the Young Lord. You can't engrave a scar like this exactly without seeing it."

Chi Gang said as he entered the inn, "Can I see it up close?"

"Alright. You can even touch it."

Chi Gang approached Baekji and looked at the red scar on his forehead, and then even rubbed it. The scar that had risen from the flesh was the same as the scar that had risen on the Young Lord's forehead.

"How can this be!"

Chi Gang muttered to himself, looking at the red scar with a possessed expression.

"Are you really the descendant of the Young Lord?"

He even used honorifics, just in case. His loyalty to the Young Lord was blind. Now that a person who might be a descendant had appeared... his attitude towards Baekji had changed.

"Ask Bi Wa-yun... the Demonic Advisor."

Baekji said, stealthily looking at Bi Jun-hua. At that, this time, Bi Jun-hua was surprised.

'How does that brat know my older brother's name?'

Baekji had mentioned Bi Wa-yun when he had heard that Bi Jun-hua was from the Bi family, and it seemed to have half worked.

"You met my older brother Bi? Where?"

"He was in Zhaojia County, Sichuan. He told me that my grandfather, the Young Lord, had died."

Bi Jun-hua let out a groan. Bi Wa-yun, saying he had no martial talent, had entered the military affairs department early on.

Because of that, the Bi family had been turned upside down. Bi Jun-hua, saying she would succeed to the position of family head in place of Bi Wa-yun, had worked twice as hard as others.

So, rumors had even spread in the Bi family that the first female family head in the history of the Demonic Cult might emerge.

Bi Jun-hua frowned and thought.

Although she did not believe Baekji's words that he was the grandson of the Young Lord... she thought there must be a story behind that brat coming out so shamelessly.

Bi Jun-hua, as she entered the inn, shouted to the waiter, "Lock the door!"

When the waiter made a troubled expression, she took out a handful of silver coins from her bosom and threw them.

"Today, this 'Lotus Fairy' is taking over this entire inn! By any chance, do you have any complaints? If there's a brat who does, tell them to come and argue."

But the people who were in the inn, one by one... stealthily slipped out.

The direct line of the twelve guardian families was an extremely high status within the sect.

There was no one who would start a fight with the 'Seven Phases Fairy' of the Bi family... no, with Bi Jun-hua, whose real title was the 'Seven Phases Rakshasa'.

A moment later.

On the first floor of the inn, only Baekji, Chi Gang, Bi Jun-hua, and Bi Jun-ye were left.

Bi Jun-hua had closed not only the door of the inn but also all the windows. The 'Eight Wind Mad Saber' and the 'Heavenly Demon Squad' had to wait outside.

"Are you really the descendant of the Young Lord? Tell me how that is possible."

"How many times do I have to say it!"

Baekji got angry and then talked loudly. He poured out as the Demonic Advisor had instructed.

"... When my grandfather, the Young Lord, went up to the Yueyang Tower on Dongting Lake... the two recognized each other right away. That the other was their destiny..."

"Quiet! Speak quietly! I'm not deaf!"

Although Bi Jun-hua spoke, Baekji did not lower his voice. So even those who were listening from outside heard clearly. The crowd gathered outside had already reached several dozen.

At the news that the descendant of the Young Lord had appeared, even the merchants from the main street had emptied their stores and had gathered.

Baekji recited his own history, which the Demonic Advisor had written, and then said with a sorrowful expression, "... But they say my grandfather has passed away. I couldn't even see his face..."

His slightly trembling voice sounded truly sad.

"... I thought about it for three days and nights and came all the way here to the Heavenly Mountains. But to think I would be treated so poorly..."

Baekji ended with a lament. And he picked up another piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

Bi Jun-hua looked at Baekji carefully.

'Now that I think about it...'

The scroll hanging in the shrine of the Bi family.

The painting of So Ya-hu and Bi Yun-seol standing side by side came to mind. She had once looked at it with interest, thinking that the Young Lord in his youth had looked like that, and somehow, he resembled Baekji.

At the same time, an unknown anger flared up.

'The Young Lord was also an ordinary man! He said he missed 'Great-aunt Wang' his entire life... and he had a child with another woman?'

Naturally, her eyes, which were looking at Baekji, were filled with a double flame. Even a hint of killing intent flashed.

'Hey, what's with her?'

Baekji felt a chill from the cold energy flowing from Bi Jun-hua's entire body. If she had just been angry before... now he thought she might really kill him.

"The words you have said so far are just your one-sided claims. A divine object that I have never heard of or seen, and a one-sided claim... who would believe that?"

"Ahem. Other people may not, but a descendant of the Bi family shouldn't be like this... go home and ask the adults what the monkey divine object is. They say my grandfather, the Young Lord, carved various wooden carvings and gave them to his lover when he was young. He made this to give to that lover, but because of an unfortunate event, he couldn't give it. He met my grandmother later and gave it to her."

Although it sounded like a fickle playboy... he had no choice.

The monkey carving divine object was also the Demonic Advisor's meticulous arrangement.

After Bi Yun-seol died, the Bi family had preserved the residence she had used as it was. Since she had been the fiancée of the Young Lord, it was to honor her.

Of course, there was also the intention of asking the Young Lord not to forget the Bi family, and indeed, the Young Lord would sometimes visit Bi Yun-seol's residence.

Although it was a forbidden place that no one other than the Young Lord could enter, the Demonic Advisor would secretly go in and play when he was young. He had remembered seeing the twelve zodiac animal wooden carvings rolling in a corner at that time and had made the monkey carving.

"What?"

As Bi Jun-hua frowned, Bi Jun-ye, 'eo', looked at the monkey carving. Then she whispered to Bi Jun-hua, "I think I've seen something like that in Great-aunt Wang's room."

Since it was not a telepathic message, everyone heard.

"You went into Great-aunt Wang's room?"

At Bi Jun-hua's words, Bi Jun-ye, 'acha', flinched and then rolled her eyes and said, "Sister, that's not what's important right now. If he's really the Young Lord's grandson... isn't it amazing?"

Ppadeudeuk―!

Bi Jun-hua bit her molars. If it was true, it was an amazing and upsetting thing.

When the Young Lord's body had returned, the Bi family had placed the memorial tablets of the Young Lord and Bi Yun-seol side by side in a corner of the shrine.

'Playboy... I have to get rid of it right away!'

Bi Jun-hua, who had lived with pride as the love of the Young Lord and Bi Yun-seol was widely talked about... the sense of betrayal she felt when she found out that it was not so in an instant was also great. Although they had not had a formal wedding, the Bi family had treated the Young Lord like a son-in-law and had supported him...

It was also an amazing thing for Chi Gang.

To think that the grandson of the Young Lord, whom he had revered like a god, had appeared.

Chi Gang was moved as he looked at the bloodstain engraved on Baekji's forehead.

The divine authority of the Young Lord, who had swept away the Blood Sect members like a storm, came to mind anew. The Young Lord, who had been his idol in his youth...

Although he was sixty, the Young Lord, thanks to his excellent martial arts, had looked to be in his late thirties. He had believed without a doubt that the Heavenly Demon would be born in his generation...

Although he had not believed it when the Young Lord had returned as a cold corpse... to think that a piece of his flesh and blood was left.

So, without realizing it...

"Young Lord... keu-heu-heuk!"

Baekji was dumbfounded.

'What's with him again?'

Baekji, who was watching the reactions of Bi Jun-hua and Chi Gang, said, "...Anyway, that's why I'm hungry. Whether I go to the Bi family or the 'Law Enforcement Hall'... I have to eat."

"Of course... you must eat. No one will be able to disturb you. The 'Heavenly Demon Squad' will protect you."

Chi Gang said and then walked and then opened the door of the inn. He was about to tell the 'Heavenly Demon Squad' to set up a tight security... but as soon as he opened it, he had to take a sharp breath.

"Heok!"

The countless gazes that poured towards him!

The crowd gathered outside the inn was over several hundred.

As if the rumor had spread in the meantime, people were flocking not only from the villages outside the fortress but also from inside the fortress.

"Wa-a!"

"The grandson of the Young Lord, please come out!"

Bi Jun-hua, who was surprised by the shouts of the crowd, opened the window.

"Wa-a! He's coming out!"

"No! That's the 'Seven Phases Rakshasa'!"

"The grandson of the Young Lord, please show your face!"

Rumors are this scary.

The 'Eight Wind Mad Saber' was repeatedly slapping his own cheek.

"This brat didn't recognize the grandson of the Young Lord... I'm sorry!"

To the ordinary Demonic Cult members, it was not important to verify whether Baekji was really the grandson of the Young Lord or not.

They had just flocked, excited by the fact that the grandson of the Young Lord had come.

"Wa-a... show your face!"

Later, even informal words were mixed in.

Baekji reluctantly got up opened the window, and then flew and got on Oh-ryong's back.

The crowd had grown to about a thousand in the meantime.

"Oh! The bloodstain! It's the Young Lord's bloodstain! The Young Lord has been reincarnated!"

"Ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand thousand years! We welcome the return of the grandson of the Young Lord!"

The crowd went crazy. There were even those who prostrated themselves and performed a full bow.

Baekji clicked his tongue.

'As expected, they are crazy Demonic Cult members.'

I said I was his grandson... why are they talking about reincarnation?

* * *

The commotion in the village outside the fortress was quickly transmitted to the twelve guardian families.

The one who was most at a loss was So Jeong-hu.

"He's a bold brat."

He had intended to just ignore it and to secretly investigate the truth... but he had not even imagined that he would go to the village outside the fortress and would go around talking about how he was the grandson of the Young Lord.

Messengers asking if he was really the grandson of the Young Lord, So Ya-hu, were coming in succession from here and there.

Zhong Yue said with a hardened face, "He is talking about how the So family is treating him, their legitimate descendant, poorly... we must catch him."

So Jeong-hu thought for a moment and then said, "Ignore him. If we catch him now... we will be said to be treating the legitimate descendant poorly. Of course, I will not acknowledge the fact that he is my older brother Hu's grandson either."

As Zhong Yue left the office, So Jeong-hu sighed.

"If my older brother were to return... to tell a lie that would be revealed right away... could it be that my older brother has really passed away? No. That can't be."

He did not believe in So Ya-hu's death.
