Reborn To Tiger Demon
Honghu Father of Demon City Warriors

Because it was still bright and he felt very excited, Anming immediately went to the village of Honghu outside the Demon City. He is ushered in by 2 cat stealth who are Shanni's bodyguards. They both peeked out from behind the giant rock.

But even though they knew Anming's name, he didn't know their name.

“Ngong– says I don't know your name yet.” Anming said as he looked at the two twin cat demons.

“I Maoyin.” Answer the one on the left of Anming.

“I Maoshan.” Answer on the right side of Anming.

Anming's face turned depressed. “How can I tell you apart if you all look like this?”

“And there's your nose.” Ejek Maoshan's.

“True, following miss Li all the way to the restaurant only you can, our time of distinguishing based on the smell can not.” Maoyin.

Anming laughed embarrassedly. “Yes too yes. I forgot about that.” Said.

They same – same laugh. But then a servant came out of the door of the house. He carried a basket in his hand and seemed to be going somewhere.

“Master Honghu is usually on break at this hour. His wife Madam Sui must also be busy making cakes in the kitchen.” Maoyin.

Anming looked at Maoyin. “Ohya, Shanni said that lord Honghu rejected me as his disciple for personal reasons. Do you think he was mad at me for making the landslide yesterday?”

Maoshan replied “Hm. Maybe he felt jealous because there was another tiger demon besides him.”

Maoyin said “Don't be reckless, good demon lord Honghu, where maybe he is jealous just because there are other similar demons.”

“What is tiger stealth so rare?” ask Anming. He only guessed because Maoshan spoke as if the tiger demon was just Honghu.

“Iya, more precisely very rare.” Answer Maoshan.

“Tiger is one of the most troublemaking demons in the human world. They are often hunted and killed, then their canines and nails are made into weapons to fight the stealth nation.” Maoyin.

Anming quiet nervously. “ alright, it's a bit spooky too.” Mumbled. ‘Sortly Shanni was so keen to push me out of the temple. But in this agreement he said he would let me go, did he have other plans like monitoring me in Luoyang later?’ asked Anming inwardly.

“Ayo.” Anming.

Maoyin and Maoshan stared at Anming full of terror. “Who? We?” Maoyin.

“We're not coming with you, we're going home to the temple.” Maoshan.

Anming jaw hanging “But I thought you guys would accompany me.” Said Anming feeling in a lie.

“Company to his house, not accompany into his house.” Answer Maoshan.

“Betul!” added Maoyin.

Anming impinges ‘Ah, hope what I.’ Her thought. He stood up and breathed. “Alright, just need to talk to him, fear what I am.” he said.

Maoyin and Maoshan raised their right-handed clenched hands, trying to encourage Anming. “Spirit Mr. Zhou.”

Anming was feeling uneasy. “you don't need to call me Mr. Zhou, just call brother Ming. That's my familiar greeting among my friends and family.” His word.

Maoyin and Maoshan sparkled happily. “Good Brother Ming.” They are compact.

“I go first, thanks for driving me.” Anming. He walked away and the two cat stealth boys cheered him.

“Good!” “Spirits brother Ming!” cheer them up compactly.

 \~\~**\~\~

Anming smiled weakly at them and then looked at the door of the house nervously. ‘Then I said I wasn't afraid, but my heart felt – by once.’ Say it in the heart. ‘This reminds me of the first time at war.’

He remembered how he had wagged his machete spear and killed 2 enemy soldiers simultaneously. ‘It was also the first time I killed people and it feels like I have ripped the hearts of their families at home.’ Anming murmured in his heart. ‘Not a good experience but also not a bad experience. There is no strong General Zhou Anming if on that day he does not descend into battle.’

A few minutes walking, he finally reached the door of the Hong residence. He knocked on the door 3 times, but there was no answer. Only when he knocked on the door again did an old woman answer from inside.

“Ya a minute!”

Anming silence. ‘Duh, deg-degan!’ it's in the heart.

Not long ago an orange-haired old woman with a pair of tiger ears opened the door. He wears a fine silk hanfu with a warm hairy robe. He looked at Anming's feet first and then at Anming's face. His eyes widened and Anming smiled gently.

“Sorry to disturb you madam, I am Zhou Anming from Jinlong temple, I want to meet with lord Honghu what is he there?” tanyakanya.

The old woman continued to stare at Anming's face. But arrived – arrived he shed tears. Anming saw her instantly panicked and became stuttering.

“N-mrs! Why are you crying?” anming. ‘A-Did I say something wrong? I-I have to what is this? I should what? How to calm a crying woman?? Buy it kite – kite? Reluctant! don't equate your sister with a mature woman let alone a demon!’ Anming cried in his heart.

But then the old woman hugged Anming. “Honghui, where have you been? why are you just coming home now?” said the woman with sobs.

Anming petrified on the spot. ‘Ho-Hong Hui? HongHui who???’ asked Anming inwardly. The old woman then released a hug and without any wind and rain immediately grabbed Anming's ears tightly and shouted at him.

“NAUGHTY BOY! WHY ARE YOU JUST COMING HOME NOW HUH??”

Anming squealed loudly “Aaaaah!!! What am I wrong??” his screeches.

The old woman then dragged Anming mercilessly while nagging him. “We searched you where – where for 18 years! how can you remember your mom and dad after you got taller? You don't think I'll recognize you right away?” his nag.

“Ampun! Forgive me! I don't even know you!!” anming said while crying. “I'm Zhou Anming who lives in Jinlong temple!!!”

 \~\~**\~\~

Lord Honghu who was enjoying his warm tea in front of the training courtyard, heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled at the clear sky without clouds, but then heard the sound of his wife's screams.

“This brat still wants to dodge?! Wait until your father finds out, you'll be punished!” shouted his wife.

His wife who pulled Anming and dragged him to her husband. He took off his jewel to Anming and the young man immediately knelt on the floor holding his red ear.

“Honghu! Look at this naughty boy! She just came home after 18 years of leaving and even forgot me!” wife's nagging.

Anming looked at the old woman. “You are wrong Madam! I am not your son, and my name is Zhou Anming not Honghui!” saith.

The woman grew angry and hit Anming on the head quickly. “Teach! You're right – is a bad boy! Don't know yourself! Not filial!!!” his yell.

Anming also shouted in pain. “Aaaah!! why am I the one who got hit?!” his yell.

Honghu stuttered at the scene and held his wife's hand. “Te-quiet dear, please don't get hit again.” His word.

Not getting a sweet welcome, even Honghu was slapped by his wife until her cheeks were red and hand printed. “Bad husband! Child does not obey him in the law even defended!” that wife's nagging.

Honghu followed on his knees with Anming with a shok expression. He held his old cheek in a slap with a pale face. Anming looked at him full of terror ‘Lah, even her husband was helpless in front of his wife?’ anming said in his heart.

“Basic people – bad guys!! Tonight there's no dinner for you two!” Shouted his wife while holding back tears. But in the end he sobbed and then ran away. Honghu standing.

“My darling ..” woo Honghu to his wife, but she keeps running away.

Anming stood up while holding his red ear.

“Haduh...” grumbled Honghu while shaking his head.

“Anu ..” Anming said.

Honghu looked directly at Anming. “What is my wife dragging you from the city to here?” tanyakanya.

Anming reeled confused “Engga—?” answer with a hanging tone at the end.

Honghu sighed in relief. “Oh thank goodness,” she replied, “but what is it that you came to my house? Does Miss Li need anything?”

Honghu sat down on his lounge chair and let Anming also sit on the chair next to the tea table. Anming was still rubbing his scarlet ears on the jewer. ‘At least sorry for your wife's treatment of me kek.’ Anming grouse in heart.

“Ah yes, about that, not Shanni who told me, but I myself have a need with you.” Answer Anming.

Honghu poured the tea into a new cup for Anming. “What's up?” tanyakanya.

“Mr Honghu, I may not know you but I heard from others that you are the best coach in the city. For that, I want you to accept me as your disciple and help me control my stealth power.” Answer Anming.

Honghu was stunned and the tea he poured in the cup was full. Anming certainly saw it and felt insinuated. (The host who poured tea in a cup for the guest to the full, meaning that the host drove the guest away subtly)

“I can't afford to train you son, you better find another teacher.” said Honghu.

Anming knelt before Honghu. “For me there is no other suitable teacher to train me other than you.” His word.

Honghu frowned. “I'm old and I can't teach martial arts anymore, you better go find another teacher or my student on the city wall.” Said.

Anming was silent and still kneeling. Honghu who saw Anming insisted stood up.

“Go now, I reject you.” His word. This time he rejected Anming with light – bright and also hard.

“I won't leave before you accept me to be your student.” Answer Anming.

“then kneel there forever, I will never accept you.” Reply Honghu.

Honghu walked away, but in front of him there was even his wife who came carrying a plate of Lotus cake. The atmosphere was silent for a moment and Anming put on his shock expression. ‘Oh ..’ murmured Anming in heart.

His wife dropped the plate and then slapped her husband while shouting. “BAD HUSBAND!! HOW CAN YOU DRIVE AWAY YOUR OWN SON?!” his yell. Honghu protects his head from the piercing blows of his wife's – tubes.

“Quiet baby!” honghu tried to calm his wife.

“You Crazy?! How can I calm down when I see you expelling my son?!” he shouted. “18 years I waited for him to come home and after he came home you want to throw him out of our house?!”

Honghu held both of his wife's hands and countered with emotion. “Sui! Honghui we are dead!” said.

Honghu's words made Anming and his wife widen in shock.

‘M-died?’ thought Anming.

His wife's eyes glazed – glass and her emotions softened. “Who? Honghui is not dead.” His word. She took her hand off the clutches of Honghu and then knelt on the floor picking up the – lotus cakes she dropped before hitting her husband. “Honghui is not dead, he is home, I brought his favorite cake.” Mumbled.

Honghu was silent with – glass glazed eyes, and he clenched his hands.

“Accept the fact that Sui, Honghui Already died 18 years ago.” Honghu said in a soft voice. He stepped on one of his wife's lotus cakes and walked away.

Sui the name of his wife, he was silent when he saw the stepped cake. He picked her up and hugged her while crying. “You stupid husband! My Honghui is not dead!” muttered. “He's alive, he's home, he's home.”

Anming who felt bad helped Sui stand up and helped her sit on the chair. “Honghuiku has not died ..” Sui muttered while crying. Anming is actually between panicking and not knowing what to do.

“Mistress, please strengthen your heart.” Anming said. ‘A-I don't know what to say, maybe that's all I can say.’

Sui looked at Anming and then touched his cheek. He gently stroked her and cried “Look, my Honghui has come home, he is in front of me.” His word. Anming was silent, he wanted to refute the woman's words, but he himself felt bad to have to be honest.

“You are so tall and handsome like your father. Don't we? I told you you'd look more like your father than I do.” His word. But then he cried again and hugged Anming. “You left me for so long, please don't leave again.don't leave me again.”

Anming petrified ‘I-This how? How should I go???’ thought stammering.

Sui let go of his wound and stroked Anming's head. “You don't worry, I'll talk to your father so you won't be kicked out by him. You stay here, right? don't go again.” he said. Sui then walked away and Anming stiffened up on the spot not knowing what to do.

‘I-This is how should I????’ It's in the heart. He crouched on the floor and realized something. ‘Wait, I can utilize this to make lord Honghu accept me as his disciple.’ Her thought.

But then he was reminded by Sui's crying face ‘T - but how can I use a mother's heart? ARGH!!’ anming in his heart.
