The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 152 Candles and Flowers

"Thank you, your highness we would love to go to your kingdom." Fang Yu smiled sweetly which only made Mo Li more irritated. He couldn’t help but wonder why would Fang Yu agree to visit the kingdom when he already warned her that this King Oscar was nothing but a treacherous creature.

’He wanted to know if one of us can use the power of space.’ Fang Yu’s voice echoed in his head. ’If we disagree, it means we are trying to avoid him and was hiding something.’

’This man is cruel. Be careful.’ He responded. Now that he thought about it, Fang Yu’s words made sense. However, this was not enough to ease his irritation over the matter. He wanted to relax and do nothing. Now, he needed to be more careful especially now that he saw a cultivator on the king’s side.

"Wonderful." King Oscar stood from his seat and approached them, a smile was plastered on his face. "Let’s leave tomorrow." He patted Mo Li’s shoulders before walking out of the room, leaving Mo Li and Fang Yu alone.

Fang Yu and Mo Li eyed each other before they also went back to the house that they were staying in.

......

The trip from the village to the kingdom, needed a few weeks if one would use a normal mount. However, the King’s mount was actually a huge bird that resembled a wyvern. This made the trip only last for a couple of hours. When they arrived in the Kingdom, it was still afternoon.

The king immediately asked his servants to arrange the most beautiful room in the castle for the two.

"Did you sense if one of them can use space?" King Oscar asked the man that had been following him all throughout this trip. The man was wearing a long dark robe, half of his face was covered with the hood from his robe.

"I can’t sense anything from them. It was either... they are really powerful with equally powerful artifacts in their body or... they are not humans."

"But I can smell them. Both of them were humans." As someone who had lived thousands of years, King Oscar’s senses have already achieved the peak of perfection. True, he cannot use Qi and magic and doesn’t have the ability to fight, but he had specially trained his senses to help him out in times of need.

"Perhaps, they are really here for a vacation." The man responded.

"Hmph. With the looming war, is that really possible? I think they are here for another reason. Too bad, there is no other way for us to figure out if they can use space."

A long stretch of silence followed the King’s words. Having someone with space attributes was like a gift from the heavens. He had been waiting for someone to show up with that kind of capability. However, not many cultivators would choose to visit this place. They would rather other worlds like the devils and demons world where they can gain more benefits.

"Still, tell everyone to treat them well. We need to at least try and impress them. These people are powerful. Even more powerful than Ming. We could use them to defend us when the devils visit this place again."

"Your highness.... Forgive my words but I believe it is high time we tell the demons about the devil’s actions. They have been here, wreaking havoc in our world, knowing that we are powerless against them. How could they just use our world to train? Moreover, their presence alone is enough to affect the beastmen who were our slaves. Without the devil, the beastmen wouldn’t have acted like that."

"Stop blaming them." King Oscar sighed. "This was partly my fault. I actually warn them about that person." He frowned and motioned his servant to leave him alone as he continued thinking about the things that had happened in the past. Then another sighed left his lips again.

Of course, he wasn’t aware that Fang Yu was actually listening to their conversation. Seeing the man with a hood disappeared, Lily also withdrew from her space and immediately told Mo Li that the devils are here to train. Just like Lily, they are actually using the benefits of the time difference.

If one would look carefully at the time line, these devils must have trained here for months now. Meaning, they have trained here for tens of years in this world. To increase their strength, those people came here and made the beastmen lost control of themselves.

"You heard him say that someone reincarnated?" Mo Li frowned when he heard her story. Of course, Fang Yu took advantage of this opportunity to tell him that someone was aware of Dong Hu’s identity.

"Yes. I believe Dong Hu is in danger." Fang Yu uttered.

"Hmmm. That is possible." Mo Li fell silent. "But... reincarnation and going back in time. That person must have been really angry with Dong Hu."

"So... reincarnation like this doesn’t happen if someone doesn’t have enough resentment?" She asked.

"Yes. Dying with a heart full of resentment is only one of the prerequisites of this type of reincarnation. The second one is for their anger to be big enough to summon a powerful person that would help them cheat the reincarnation river and go back in time. However... that would require someone to sacrifice their soul."

"So.. Basically once this reincarnator die... their soul would belong to the one that helped them?" Fang Yu actually thought that only demons or maybe divine creatures can cheat on death. He nodded in response, his face grim. If that was the case, then there was a possibility that this person hated Dong Hu so much.

"That person must be inside the sect right now." Mo Li added.

"I thought as much." Of course, she already felt that the person is nearby.

"If this person was colluding with the devils then... it means this person was also a spy for the Frozen Wraith Sect." Mo Li’s lips thinned. "It could be dangerous for Dong Hu to stay in the sect."

Fang Yu nodded, happiness surge inside her. Now that Mo Li was aware that someone knows about Dong Hu, she was sure that he would do everything to protect him. Meaning... her job would significantly decrease. Fang Yu fought the urge to clap her hands from the brilliance of her mind.

"Now, the only thing that I am wondering was the fact that this King Oscar was actually involved in this matter." Mo Li turned silent. "If we needed to get information from this king then...we needed to torture him."

"Eh? What torture are you talking about?" Fang Yu asked. The scene seemed so familiar inside her head that all the hairs behind her neck stood. Was this another memory? Something that happened when she was still Lily? Did... Did Lily love to torture people? "I have a suggestion. "Fang Yu uttered. "I think we should kill all the devils in this world first. That would significantly decrease the devils fighting power. This King Oscar does not have any way to leave this place so we can interrogate him once the devils are gone."

"Hmm. That made sense. King Oscar might not tell us anything if he knew that the devils are still here." Mo Li’s jaws clenched. The more he spent time with Fang Yu, the more he realized that she was truly brilliant.

For some reason, he felt that even Fang Yu was not really aware of her ability to think like this. Mo Li found this so weird and attractive at the same time. "First, we needed to find the place that they were staying."

"We can use my space." Fang Yu had been doing her best to control her space. Right now, she could hide inside for as long as ten minutes. This was also the span of time that she could control a portal.

The knock on the door interrupted their conversation. Mo Li immediately removed the sound barrier that surrounded them and strode towards the door. His footsteps muffled by the Persian carpet.

"Good evening." A man wearing a uniform of a knight stood in front of him. "I am here to escort the guests to the dining room. His highness King Oscar would like to dine with the Immortals." The man lowered his head, as if afraid to look at him in the eye.

"Alright." Mo Li nodded and immediately waited for Fang Yu to approached him. After a couple of minutes, the two finally arrived in a huge hall with a long rectangular table in the middle. Candles and flowers were lavishly decorated on the table as foods of different types and sizes were aesthetically presented in front of them.

However, Fang Yu’s eyes were not on the food but towards the woman who stood next to King Oscar. For some reason... the woman reminded her of someone. Rather... she felt that she had seen this woman before.
