Ben zuo[1] is an immortal being. Although the Three Realms are great and the universe is endless, there was never someone who had the ability to compete against me.” Reclining quietly in the shadows above the lava, he grabbed lumps of brimming hot red molten lava playfully and said, “On the basis of you as an ordinary woman, you wished to chop me down with a double-edge sword?”

An imposing murderous energy was tightly attached to a cold long double-edge sword. The woman who held the sword stood in midair. The corners of her mouth that curved slightly upward were more devilish than the insolent Mozun (Demon King), ” Dong Fang Qing Cang[2], you don’t dare to fight? ”

“Hahahaha! Not dare?” Dong Fang Qing Cang turned his head upward to the sky and laughed loudly. The hot lava in the Dong Fang Qing Cang’s palm suddenly burned upward, and the raging flames in the air condensed to form a burning red double-edged sword. The surging arrival of the burning odor caused the woman’s robes to jolt. “Chi De [3] woman, those useless bunch from the Heavenly Realm made you the Heaven War God. You have dared to clamor at ben zuo, albeit on the assumption that you do have a bit of skill.”

Dong Fan Qing Cang narrowed his eyes and gently chuckled. He stood up with his silver white hair that reached to his ankles. With each step, the volcano under his foot seemed to fear him as it started to tremble and sway.

“It just so happened that today was dull.” Dong Fang Qing Cang said, and lifted up his wrist. The raging flames of his sword covered half of his face and showed off a demonic energy (qi) within his phoenix eyes more prominently, “Allow ben zuo to test you with one try.”

“Demon King.” Chi De woman held the cold sword within her hands in defense form, “Underestimating the enemy is a fearful disadvantage of those who battle.”

Dong Fang Qing Cang grinned, “Only the weak has fear.” His bloody eyes flashed coldness. His eyeteeth was sharper than any human and was embedded with raging flames. He was extremely furious, “Ben zuo never has fear.”

The Ancient Demon King battled against Chi De woman in an all-out war. This caused the heaven and earth to lose colors while days and nights were turned upside down. Even the stars and time seemed to be affected by such disturbance. But it was through that war, the rampant Demon King of the Three Realms lost to Chi De woman’s sword. Since then, Chi De woman God of War’s fame spreads far and wide. Dong Fang Qing Cang suffered serious injuries after that battle. Eventually, he was beheaded by the combined efforts of the deities and buddhas.

Meanwhile, the people of the Demon Realm have been driven into Jiu You[4] barren land; henceforth, it’s difficult for them to rise up again.

“Is Dong Fang Qing Cang dead?”

“The Demon King is immortal. He cannot go into the reincarnation cycle. His soul does not vanish or disperse. When there is a befitting opportunity, he will return.”

The orchid in the pot shook her leaves, “When will he return? … ah master … I’m afraid of death.”

“Will not let him return.” Siming picked up a pen to write a fate, “I, the God of Destiny, along with the present God of War Moxi, the little brother guards that watches Nantianmen[5], and the little water fairies that helped me water you will not let him return. So you can relax a bit, will not die ah. Be obedient. ”

After listening to Siming who lightly touched upon a part of the ancient times distant past, the little orchid cannot imagine in any way that one day she would really see the Demon King resurrects and return to the Three Realms. She did not think that she would end up greeting face to face this big ancient demon, and watched helplessly.

The thing that mostly made her smashed head and was also unexpected is that —

One day, she was to use that old fart with boundless magic, doing all kinds of evil, monstrous demon’s … body …

Little Orchid is siting in a prison cell and looks at the woman outside sitting cross-legged with eyes closed in deep concentration and quiet to the point that breathing sounds cannot be heard.

Not knowing how many days has passed, Little Orchid propped her chin, her face showed worry. That guy outside … in the end does he even breath properly ah. If he silenced his breathing like this he will suffocate and by then she will suffer so much!

After all, that body is her real body ah!

While the body she is using now…

Little Orchid caught the silver hair hanging down the waist, and again took the big hand to touch the flat chest for the hundredth and one time, and then sighed, “So hard.”

The low alluring voice of a male sounded two syllables, echoing several laps in Hao Tian tower before slowly disappearing.

But the two syllables have broken the long-standing silence, and the woman outside the cell finally exhaled a slow breath, and said with eyes closed, “Little flower demon, you dare to play with ben zuo’s body up and down, then don’t blame ben zuo for not being polite with your body.”

“Calculating in details, so what I feel your chest, a big man like you is afraid of being touch…” Little Orchid paused, immediately blushed and covers face, “Oh … Hey … big devil, where did you think I touch? Filthy! You’re so nasty! ”

The woman’s apricot eyes open, a dash of mystery that is unfitting of the face, and gave ridicule smile, “A woman that is able to say such words, you are not necessarily pure much.”

Little Orchid grunted, and changed the subject, “Are you not the ancient Mo Zun (Demon King)? Legend tells of you being so great at imitating the dog and stealing the chicken, etc. …” Dong Fang Qing Cang’s brows furrow. Little Orchid cannot help but swallow a mouth full of saliva, “ You… you are so powerful, think of a way to get out of here..”

Dong Fang Qing Cang closed his eyes, “If you want to get out do not create more trouble for me. “

Little Orchid’s eyes glared, “The person being locked in the cell is me ah! How am I supposed to cause you trouble, to say troublesome, you are the very very very troublesome master of someone else’s life!”

If it was not because of him, how can she be locked in Hao Tian tower! How is that from a pretty little orchid is then turn into a barbaric and rough male… Although it’s the demon’s body, the skin seems to be very tender, the figure is very good, good hair, facial features are also very good, and very slender fingers …

Little Orchid shook her head, “.. If it weren’t for a bad luck monster like you, I would not have fallen into this situation!

“Unlucky?” Dong Fang Qing Cang squints, “Dare to call ben zuo like that, your liver is not really small.”

Facing the opposite pair of eyes that is clearly hers, yet Little Orchid is stunned and terrified by Dong Fang Qing Cang’s eyes, and even her liver is cold while her stomach hurts…

But the fences in front of Little Orchid have help strengthen her courage, she puffs her cheeks, and grunted coldly, “If you have the capability then go ahead and attack me!”

Hearing this sentence, Dong Fang Qing Cang suddenly grinned, and then grabbed the hair behind the back. While Little Orchid is glaring with her eyes, cheeks, and mouth and thus is not reacting yet, the qi on Dong Fang Qing Cang’s fingers moves. That long hair up to the waist “swish” one sound, and all was cut off.

Little Orchid went stiff.

Head … hair, her hair …

Dong Fang Qing Cang play a bit with the broken hair in his hand, “Brain is not smart, but the hair is quite beautiful.” Finished speaking, he casually threw the long hair strands down. Shiny beautiful hair strands like a peacock’s tail litter the ground. Dong Fang Qing Cang sat down and pulled on the ear-length black hair strands left. He crossed his legs, and laughs in a presumptuous and awful manner, “What, did you forget, right now, you are in my hands. ”

Demon! Frenzied devil with no conscious!

Little Orchid was almost kneeling down. She looked at her hair strands littering the floor, and was distressed for a bit then remembers that she needs to seek out revenge on the culprit!! She fiercely glares at Dong Fang Qing Cang and shouted, “I’m not finished with you!”

Little Orchid pokes hands behind the back, pulled out the silver hair, copies the same posture as Dong Fang Qing Cang , the qi between the fingers moves…

She wanted to cry after that.

Inside Dong Fang Qing Cang’s body, she does not know whether she does not know how to control the qi or that there was no qi, she does not even know how to use a spell…

Dong Fang Qing Cang has expected the results, the curve on his mouth grew several parts wider, “Want to cut ben zuo’s hair, you’ll need to cultivate for a million more years.

Little Orchid bit her teeth, “I do not believe it!” Finished speaking, she rolls several volumes of hair, fiercely pull, and pulled out the roots and ends. The pain sent a shiver to the whole body. She sees Dong Fang Qing Cang went stiff and his smile died out. Little Orchid endured the pain, copies his appearance/posture, and also gave an insidious, vicious grin, Today let this lady make you go bald.”

Dong Fang Qing Cang sullen, “Stop it.”

When the voice finishes, Little Orchid pull out four-five more strands.

Dong Fang Qing Cang narrowed his eyes, “You dare to be so presumptuous, I shall cut off your arm.”

Little Orchid heard this and was angered, “You dare to cut my arm then I dare to cut off your neck!”

“If you continued to be chatty, ben zuo will cut your tongue off!”

“You dare to cut it off! I’ll give you an execution blade from the palace for you to castrate!”

Speaking harsh words in such situation, the two became silent, staring at each other for a while. In the end Little Orchid’s eyes burn, she blinked twice, and then saw her hair strands on the floor.

Her heart felt wronged and sad, [she] sat down and hugged her knees. Her eyes started to turn red and tears patter to the ground.

Gone.

She can no longer make beautiful braids, and can no longer put flowers in her hair. It is all thanks to the great devil who has given her this. The rest of her life can only be spent in a cell, everything is gone…

Dong Fang Qing Cang outside the fence [of the cell] looked at his body all curled up and hugging his knees. Using his hoarse and magnetic voice to cry hu hu in utter sadness and pain.

His chest hurt in an unimaginable way.

“Do not cry,” he demanded bluntly.

Little Orchid was extremely sad, heard his words, and thus ended up crying even more so.

Dong Fang Qing Cang felt that the crying sounds were like a ghost claw from his own throat that scratches into his head, even more unbearable than when Chi De woman carried the icy Xuan Bing sword [needle] that pierced into his energy channels.

“Stand up!”

Little Orchid raises her head, and stared at him with a face full of the tears and snot intermixed “You give me back my hair!”

Seeing her face so messy, Dong Fang Qing Cang restrained the pain within his chest and said, “You stand up first!”

“Give me back my hair first!”

“Fine!” Dong Fang Qing Cang rotates his palm, the hair strands on the ground flew up, and one by one each strand reconnected. In a short period of time, the waterfall-like hair resumed its intact-form it had in the beginning, “Stand up!”

Little Orchid stares foolishly at the reconnected hair, and was astonished to the point of forgetting to seek revenge from Dong Fang Qing Cang, “My body… when did you learn this spell?”

Dong Fang Qing Cang gave a despising glance at Little Orchid, “Clean your face for ben zuo.”

The hair has been connected, and so Little Orchid is no longer sad. She concentrates on wiping her nose and tears with the sleeves.

Dong Fang Qing Cang sat back, looked at her and said, “Dare to threaten and make ben zuo bend [in favor for you], you are the first.”

“Making me cry in a male voice, you are also the first person to do so since the past to present.” Little Orchid wiped her face, and angrily turned to him, “I do not want a to stay with you a quarter hour longer! Speak! Do you have a way out of this tower?!”

“Of course.”

“What?”

“Blow up this tower.”

Dong Fang Qing Cang said so casually and succinctly, as if he was going to squash a mosquito to death.

Little Orchid heard this and was stupefied. After that she desolately hung her head, and mutters pitifully, “It’s over, I will never see master again in this life.”

Cannot blame Little Orchid for thinking so, Hao Tian tower is an ancient object. To blow it is easier said than done, not to mention they have physical exchange their bodies. Little Orchid cannot find any form of strength in Dong Fang Qing Cang’s body, and even if she finds it, she cannot utilize the power of the demon.

As for Dong Fang Qing Cang …

Little Orchid can only laugh ha ha. She is very clear in her body how much it weighs, even if Dong Fang Qing Cang can reconnect her hair back, but he cannot change the fact that in her body is only a few hundred years of immortal power(cultivation). That strength is no problem in defeating several little demons, but the issue of exploding Hao Tian tower, would have to wait for her to cultivate ten thousand years for an attempt at this.

Little Orchid’s nose burns. Remembering the moment when she encountered Dong Fang Qing Cang, she felt that her life must be punished/compensated the loss for a moment of curiosity.

“How can you be so stupid during that time, you have already robbed my body, you should have use my body to stay outside ah.” Little Orchid sorrowfully said, “After that we can collaborate from outside and inside, the possibility of escaping would have been larger than it is now ya. ”

Dong Fang Qing Cang gave a ridicule smile, “Before didn’t the heavenly realm claim themselves as noble-minded and virtuous, willing to sacrifice themselves for others? Yet, for wanting to escape, you do not mind working [“coordinating outside and inside offensive”] with ben zuo? Are you not afraid once ben zuo is outside, ben zuo will harm people, and cause troubles in people’s lives?” He shot a glance at Little Orchid’s sitting position, “Where is your moral integrity?”

Little Orchid pouts, “I have already considered these things. Why is there a need for Heavenly soldiers, the Heavenly generals, then the Heavenly Emperor? My master has said that stealing a bowl of food [job] from another is like killing one’s mother, I cannot do that.”

Dong Fang Qing Cang was silent for a moment and then touched his chin, “Flower demon, follow me and convert to the demon side. You have somewhat of an aptitude.”

“No, master will feed me to the pigs.” Pausing, Little Orchid sadly sighed, “Already foolishly in here now and even if master wanted to feed me to the pigs, there would be no way to do so … In the beginning if you were outside, whatever the outcome was, you would have found the demon realm subordinates to help out. Now that you are inside the tower, we are alone with hardship, no help, and cannot go out… ”

“Who told you there is no one here to help us?” Dong Fang Qing Cang quietly peered at Little Orchid.

Little Orchid was stupefied, “If not, then who will?” She looked up, down, and around in circles.

The ladder in Hao Tian tower was tightly pressed against the walls. The the middle of the tower was hollow. If one looked around, one can see that hanging at the top of the tower was a pearl. With one glance, one can see the entire area of the tower. If there are other people, it is certain that one will see them immediately.

Dong Fang Qing Cang smiled. He was only curving his mouth casually but caused others to feel unbridled. By having someone stayed inside one’s body, one’s every movement really brought an outline of distinction and different feeling immediately ah.

While Little Orchid was currently sighing with sorrow, she suddenly heard Dong Fang Qing Cang faintly whispered a sentence, “It’s almost time.”

Little Orchid suddenly heard Dong Fang Qing Cang whispered such words. While she is still in a daze, she saw Dong Fang Qing Cang suddenly walked in the direction of the tower stairs.

“Where are you going?” Little Orchid stared at him, “Do not run ah, inside the tower there are a lot of spells… … you are using my body ah! Hey!”

Despite Little Orchid’s voice volume increasing, there is no way to call back Dong Fang Qing Cang who turned around.

“Hey! Dong Fang…” Before Little Orchid finished calling his name, the head of Dong Fang Qing Cang suddenly disappeared when he stepped onto the stairs.

Little Orchid grasped in fear. She saw Dong Fang Qing Cang’s feet go up. The waist to neck then disappeared. After that were the legs and finally the whole person disappeared!

Little Orchid cannot believe this and rubbed her eyes. She peered closely. She could only discovered the place where Dong Fang Qing disappeared was the junction between the first and second layer.

Could there be another dimension in this tower? Thinking back, that is true. Ancient sacred objects have something that people cannot guess. Little Orchid touched her chin while pondering for a bit. Perhaps this tower’s outer appearance was where people can look at the top, but in fact cannot see the second, third, fourth, fifth layers below.

If so, then it’s not only her and Dong Fang Qing Cang were trapped here.

In Little Orchid’s memory, her master did not mentioned at all about Hao Tian tower opening and the topic of sealing demons. Such topics of concern arose only when she personally experienced them. So, if this tower has sealed any other demons, then they must be sealed from a long time ago. Demons sealed here…must not be weak.

Hao Tian has a total of nine layers. Speaking generally, there are more than two people trapped here. If Dong Fang Qing Cang has a bit of capability, he will release all those demons. Then the idea of blowing up this tower does not become impossible.

Little Orchid rubbed her hands and felt a bit of excitement.

As for the issue that will occur after blowing up the tower and releasing all those demons, what should the world do…

Little Orchid still thought conservatively that she cannot rob the Emperor’s job (bowl of rice).

Full of hope, she waited for Dong Fang Qing Cang to lead many domineering and strong demons out. Yet after a long time, she did not see Dong Fang Qing Cang emerged.

It seemed that he really did disappeared in this tower with no information.

Little Orchid was really worried that her body will never come back.

Each day her sorrow increased. Little Orchid’s spirit can no longer hold together and she began to stumble in dreams. In her dreams she would sometimes see master gently watered her. Other times, she would see Dong Fang Qing Cang pull out her hair until bald. And she would also dream about that day…

That day was during the great immortal-demon war. Little Orchid was scared and fled to the lower realm. She inadvertently met the resurrected Dong Fang Qing Cang who was injured internally from an attack. He grabbed her and impolitely used his sharp white teeth to sink them into her neck. Little Orchid felt it clearly. Flowing out of her body along with blood was her soul.

Before she went into a coma, she vaguely heard Dong Fang Qing Cang used her body to speak with the heavenly troops and generals who chased after him, “I am willing to enter Hao Tian tower to guard the demons. I will be conscientious of spending a millennium years on cultivating immortality.”

She wanted to scold him. Be conscientious on your damn ancestors[1], I cannot even lived past a millennium…

When she woke up, she was in the cell. The devil himself was sitting outside.

This matter is the reality, but in Little Orchid’s dream, their bodies were not exchanged as they were trapped in a cell together. Every day the demon will grab her dudou ribbon and grinned, “You are not obeying? If you are not obeying, I will pull out all your hair!”

She cried to the point of hoarseness, but the devil remained indifferent. In the end, she has no alternative and so she followed the devil. But when she was undressing, her master suddenly appeared with a sickle. With a blackened face, she said fertilizer cannot plow an outsider’s field. She would rather cut Little Orchid up to feed the pigs than allow the devil to eat her clean.

Little Orchid was scared to the point of her face becoming pale. Between the panics, she suddenly heard a voice coldly sounded, “Stand up.”

Little Orchid was startled, and she slowly stood up with cold sweat on head. The woman outside the cell looked coldly at her.

“Big…”Little Orchid was about to speak up, but she suddenly saw another gaze fixating at her. She shifted her head. From behind Dong Fang Qing Cang, there is a man with black hair and red clothing.

Rescue soldier!

In Little Orchid’s mind, brightness surrounded the two words. Big devil really did find a rescue soldier to let them out!

But at a closer look, Little Orchid suddenly felt that she couldn’t even laugh. Even if there she had no knowledge and experience to a certain degree, she was aware of the flame between the eyebrows – a duo xian (fallen immortal).

So a fallen immortal trapped in Hao Tian tower. Little Orchid heard her master said that those who have strong resentments would become fallen immortals. Such people are mostly likely to have distorted psychological mindsets, incorrect three outlooks*, more difficult and strange behavior than normal demons, and should not be provoked.

*三观 sān guan: “life” guan, “world” guan, and “value” guan; it’s referring to the three philosophical viewpoints or mindsets.

Little Orchid quietly took a step back. That man’s gaze fell on her, “Eh, there is also a beautiful man here ah?” His tone was frivolous, and prompted Little Orchid to furrow her brows.

Not waiting for Little Orchid to observe more closely, he turned and placed his hand on Dong Fang Qing Cangh. That hand slid down, and conveniently pulled Dong Fang Qing Cang into his arms, “Little beauty.” His pair of coquettish (peach-flower like) eyes was quite seductive to the point of dripping out spring, “So you let me out in order to save him ah? How hurtful.”

What?! This… this guy is simply too frivolous!

“You let go!” Little Orchid angrily scolded, “Claws off!” It’s her body and she is still a pure orchid lady. As if she would let others take such liberties!

Her vigorous voice attracted the two pairs of eyes outside the cell. Dong Fang Qing Cang side-eyed at her, and obviously did not care about the red robed man’s touch.

The red robes man lifted his brows and laughed, “What is little beauty’s relationship with this young man? Makes me feel extremely jealous.”

“I have nothing to do with her.” Dong Fang Qing Cang’s face was cold. It was inexplicably different from unfathomable mysterious burning fumes in Little Orchid’s nose.

The red robed man looked at Little Orchid, and laughed ha ha, “This person thought his love was reciprocated and wants to be a flower envoy hah ?” He narrowed his eyes and peered at Little Orchid up and down. He then slightly furrowed his brows, “Seems a little familiar…”

“It seems that you do not want to leave here?” Dong Fang Qing Cang interrupted the red clothed man’s words. His face was cold,” If you do not want to leave, then I will return you back.”

“Why is little beauty getting angry?” Red clothed man withdrew his hands, “Fine, let’s talk business. You said Hao Tian tower’ vital point was where?”

Dong Fang Qing Cang stepped forward a couple of steps. He went to the center of Hao Tian tower, and raised his hand to point at four directions, “Today at horse hour (11 am to 1 pm; noon) the four main places will shift, especially the East. The pearl’s shadow will lean towards here.” Dong Fang Qing Cang pointed at the wall across from Little Orchid, “At that time, this place will be the vital point of Hao Tian tower. Blow up here. Hao Tian tower will certainly collapse and fall apart.”

The red clothed man touched his chin and pondered for a long time, “Little beauty, I see that you are a heavenly immortal. I am afraid you do not know the vast qi of Hao Tian tower suppresses strongly on demons. The stronger the strength, the stronger the suppression will be. Using my utmost strength is already difficult. Are you sure I can blow up the ancient artifact during its moment of weakness?”

Such question asked directly to the main point. Little Orchid also did not believe it.

If Hao Tian tower can simply be broken, then the title of ancient artifact would have been too easily placed.

Dong Fang Qing Cang grinned, “Of course I do not believe it.” He said, “I’m going lay the battle formation here and you just use a tiny bit of your power to blow up the wall.”

That red clothed man seemed to be at lost of words from the truth in Dong Fang Qing Cang’s words. He dazedly looked at him for a while, “It is strange that you are not a demon or fallen immortal. Your cultivation powers are minuscule. Yet why are you so familiar with Hao Tian tower’s weakness and dare to ravage about? In the end, who really are you?”

“You only need to know that we share a mutual purpose.”

The red clothed man licked his lips. His dark eyes seem to reveal a hint of light flittering across, “This girl is so mysterious and unpredictable, causing one to refrain from… concealing one’s heart ah. In my life I’ve met countless women, but has not met a woman with such temperament…” When he finished speaking, he moved toward Dong Fang Qing Cang. When he was two steps away from Dong Fang Qing Cang, he purposely buckled his feet and shouted one sound “Ai ya, feet buckled.” His hands launched forward. They landed and climbed onto Dong Fang Qing Cang’s chest. The orchid embroidered mo xiong* was gently grasped and pull downward by him. It revealed a mysterious curve.

* old feminine garment that covers the chest and abdomen

That red clothed man finished fondling, and satisfactorily smiled while lifting his head. He was about to use his gaze to tease at this young girl a bit, but did not expect to face… a pair of calm, cold, and ruthless eyes.

What?

This woman who was molested by him was staring quietly at him as if she was staring at dead fish. Should not be like this…

Where is the resentment? Anger? Where is the hysteria and craziness after being molested? Where is lovely raging shout of women that melt his heart?

“Ah ah ah ah ah!”

The stagnant water-like silence was broken by the noise at the moment. The man over at the cell wanted to break out and bursted into a frantic lion-like rage, “Aaaaaaah! You let go!”

The red clothed man was surprised by the roar. He was overwhelmed with shock and turned around. The man in the cell wanted to kill him and gave him a blood-shot glare, “Let go, let go, let go! Hands off bastard! I will kill you! I will kill you!”

Such madden roar caused the red clothed man to blink twice. He turned around and asked Dong Fang Qing Cang, “This is … how?

Dong Fang Qing Cang showed no expression and pulled the crooked mo xiong back, “Standing firmly yet?”

“Ah … yes … wait! You’re not angry?”

Dong Fang Qing Cang curved lips and laughed more hysterically sinister than when he was molested before…

“Why should I get angry?” He pushed the already stiffen and foolish red clothed man, “Get out of the way, I have to prepare the formation.”

The red clothed man was pushed to the side, and foolishly stood on the side. While the other male who scolded to the point of hoarseness was still endlessly shouting, “I want to cut your hands! One day I will cut your hands!” He looked at the side. The handsome man has grown such a strong hatred that he has abandoned his image. Without hesitation, he began to kick the wall.

Once again, red clothed man turned his head around. The party who was molested on the chest was simply circling around the tower. That person threw shoes at the cell, “So noisy, be quiet.” Then the person calmly continued on barefoot.

The red clothed man blinked. He suddenly felt that maybe he was trapped here for too long and cannot understand the world anymore…
