Villain'S
Chapters 20. A successor?

"The end of this at the Wei residence... You already know?"

"Ahh, what do you mean 'that'?"

"Right, according to the rumors that circulated someone who massacred the family was a person from the demon race?!"

"I also heard that, do you think that vile creatures actually slaughtered the Wei family?"

"………make sure so."

Zhen heard many chatter telling him. Especially the rumor about the evil demon who killed the Wei noble family. He became very famous. Well, rather than a holy creature like a dragon, he is more described as an evil demon who subverted a large family.

But there were two people who kept staring at him from the table beside him. They watched Zhen's movements silently. Feeling uneasy, Zhen got up from his stool walking out of the tavern. Two mysterious-clothed people immediately got upfollowing Zhen out.

Until the end of the dead end gang the two men cornered him.

"Why are you following me?"

The two people looked at each other then looked back at Zhen. "Young master, can you spend some time chatting with us? Take it easy, we won't harm you." said one of them.

"Right, we can promise." cried the others.

"Let's follow their game, Zhen!?" qiyu.

Despite being suspicious due to the advice of Qiyu he followed their will. "Well, where are we going to talk?"

The two people threw smiles at each other, "Let's follow us!?"

The two of them led Zhen to a place where it was an old hut. With his surroundings was a forest and Yin Qi that was weeks.

Zhen watched with wasp around him. Why would they want to talk in a suspicious place like this. This place is too fit to kidnap someone. 'Kidnap someone? Wait!?" Zhen immediately jumped back but the two people quickly threw white powder at him.

"Uhuk!? Uhuk!?" his breathing instantly became congested and his vision became blurred.

Brucks

...***...

When you open your eyes, you see the sky which is a rock that shines purple. Suddenly appeared the head of a woman blocking the rocks.

"Hallo." he said flat.

Zhen immediately widened in shock, he woke up without a second thought.

Duads

"Akh!?" be their heads. Zhen held onto his extremely sick forehead as if he was smashing into a rock. He glanced at the expressionless woman but stared with narrowed eyes at her. "Sshh, who are you?" tanyanya annoyed. Because he's a broken head.

"Yueyin Zhu, who are you?" he replied by imitating Zhen's words.

"Ming.. no, Zhen." he replied. There was no need to add the word 'Ming Jia' to his name. That name is just his past.

Zhen looked around this place. "Do you know what this place is?"

"No." replied the woman briefly, still paying attention to Zhen.

"Are you kidnapped too?"

"No." the answer is short. Still watching Zhen deeper and closer.

Zhen glanced uncomfortably at the woman's overwhelming gaze. But he tried not to pay attention to it. "Then why did you end up here?" ask again.

"Because of you." she answered briefly.

Soon he's away from the woman, "What are you doing?" tanyanya alert. He was worried that the woman was doing something strange to him.

The woman smiled creepily.

"Freak basis." The grunts are obvious. Just this time he met a strange woman in front of him. White moon-like hair that looks beautiful if combed neatly, his face dirty with blood spots, his clothes were chaotic random random even torn, and more para-more than that, he was strange, he was, crazy, mysterious, creepy.

"Ah, I think she looks like someone." said Qiyu glancing towards Zhen.

"Hemph, luckily I'm not crazy like him" Zhen said gratefully.

'What I mean is you!?' thought Qiyu.

"They're coming." said the woman arriving.

Zhen looked towards the large door. Out some black-robed, masked men complete with hoods. There were five of them surrounding the two people. Zhen was prepared to attack them. But before that…

"Our respect to His Majesty!?" simultaneously they exclaimed together to call Zhen 'Your Majesty' . Not only that, they even kneeled down their heads.

"What's going on?" muttered Zhen.

"Don't know, you think I know?" qiyu replied confusedly as well.

He stared intently at the five of them, "Huh, are you guys using any more cheap tricks?" he cried with a cynical smile.

"We don't dare Your Majesty!?" answer them simultaneously.

Again the call of 'His Majesty' was stuck in Zhen's mind. Why do they call him His Majesty when he is not who? This is too suspicious. Is there anyone who wants to explain why?

"Your majesty, you must be confused" said one of them.

"Yes, quickly explain!?" replied Zhen coldly.

"Your Majesty, we are followers of King Yama. And you are someone who is destined to be the successor of King Yama. Someone who will become the next King of Yama must have been born with a demonic fetus. We feel the power of darkness from you, therefore we believe you must be the successor of the next King Yama." explained the man.

Hearing that story could not make Zhen believe it. What King Yama, he even has a curse that drains his life force. "You're sure it wasn't a white-bearded old man?" ask Zhen in disbelief.

"Right, Your Majesty!? We dare not lie!?" answer firmly to that man.

'I didn't expect there to be such a heretical society in the human world. They thought I was King Yama just because I felt the demonic energy. Though I also have pure fire that can purify.' he thought. Zhen glanced at the woman who was still watching him. "All right, I believe. Then what do you want to do with us?" ask Zhen.

"We will subvert the fox as your full awakening Your Majesty!? That way your power will rise completely and re-master the three realms including the realm of gods." Their statements are not play.

"Hmm, god's realm huh? Are you aware of what you're saying?" ask Zhen.

"Yes, we are fully aware of Your Majesty!?" steady answer.

Wanting to master the god realm, they really did not know the heavens. Their ambition was immense wanting to master the three realms. But the god realm? That got him interested. What if he tried to rule over the god realm? If he fails, just sacrifice this false belief. Who told him to make him King Yama.

Zhen immediately acted like a charismatic person, "Alright, I accept your sincerity. Don't delay any more time, let's start the ritual!?" zhen. Want King Yama or whatever it is, the goal is to become a famous criminal.

"Good."

The ritual begins immediately. The altar Zhen stood up started to pierce his red light. There are several mantra circles attached. Zhen thought they really considered him as their future King, the proof of this circle was to strengthen its dark element.

As Zhen focused on the ritual, he saw the strange woman not budging even though it would be her fall. 'Well, I feel sorry for you. But you should be happy to be one part of me from now on. The sly smile Zhen faded when he saw the woman's face like it resembled someone.

Her mother!?
