2. Contradiction

***

 Commander Xue, whoever in that area knows very well who Commander Xue really is.  This burly man was indeed known as a cold-blooded commander during the reign of Emperor Liuu Qiang Wen.  Because of his cruelty that almost matched the cruelty of the poison king, he was even dubbed the shadow of the king.

 Miss Yun, who was now under his control, could only surrender while cursing silently.  However, he could not just accept the cruel treatment Qiang Wen did to his family and people.  But as long as the red diamond of the demon kingdom's emblem is in his body, at least the kingdom and its people will be fine.

 The Demon Kingdom has its own special power, as long as the diamond is not destroyed or lost, the Demon Kingdom will not be easily destroyed no matter how badly it is destroyed.  The kingdom and the people may suffer but they can still endure no matter how much they are.  For them as long as the diamond is still well preserved, there is hope for life.

 During the trip to the King's residence, Miss Yun only obeyed and did not rebel in the slightest.  He thought it might be better if he lived in a luxurious residence than in a stuffy prison.  At least he could be free and rearrange plans to rebel in the future.

 "GO IN AND DON'T TRY TO FURNISH!"  Commander Xue shouted and then flung Miss Yun's body so that the girl had to hit the side of the bed which was made of gold and slightly pointed.

 "YOUR SURGERY! I WILL REPAY YOU SOMETHING!"  spat out Miss Yun angrily then got up and challenged Commander Xue, who was not being polite to him at all.

 Commander Xue squealed in annoyance, smiled lopsidedly and then turned to the other side with an extremely disgusted look.  "If it weren't for the king's orders, I would have killed you and made you rot along with your parents there."

 The gaze of Miss Yun's eyes stared cruelly, the eye beads that were originally beautiful dark black had now turned dark red as thick as human blood.

 "And if it weren't for King Qiang Wen wanted you, I would have also chopped you up and dumped you in the ocean. You know I am grossly disgusted to touch your body."  added Commander Xue arrogantly, making the girl feel the flames all over her body suddenly heating up.

 "KEEP YOUR Greetings Foolish! HOWEVER SOME DAY YOU WILL REGRET THAT YOU HAD DISTEDBED ME."  said Miss Yun sharply and still trying to control her emotions.

 "Regret? What do I regret from what I said? You're not even worth it in my eyes, if it weren't for the King then I would have killed all your people who are so disgusting."  Commander Xue affirmed then put his head down.

 "SHUT UP!!"  snapped Miss Yun, unable to hold back her emotions anymore.  With a flash of her long nails and fangs sticking out, the girl lost her human side and turned into a complete demon soul.  No matter what, the girl immediately swung her claw at Commander Xue's face.

 This firm and alert man swiftly parried, he slapped Miss Yun's long-toed hand and avoided the attack.

 "You can't kill me, devil!"  said Commander Xue arrogantly, making the female devil even more furious and didn't want to lose.

 Miss Yun attacked again, trying to claw at the body that was several meters away.  The fierce battle caused a lot of noise, even though there was a great battle, none of the guards dared to approach because they felt that some of the jars and beautiful ornaments that decorated the king's room had to be willing to break and scatter uselessly.

 "YOU MUST DIE!"  said Miss Yun angrily as she again scratched her nails on Commander Xue's body.  The man tried to keep avoiding, but a little negligence made him have to be willing to be scratched and torn his clothes.

 Fresh blood poured out of Commander Xue's chest, making the owner furious and trying to finish him off right away.  The cruelty possessed by Commander Xue blinded him, he forgot that he was fighting in the king's conscience and was also fighting with the king's future girl.  How angry the king would be if he saw him.

 "How dare you injure my body!"  shouted Commander Xue in disbelief and then advanced to attack Miss Yun.

 The commander caught Miss Yun's hand, grabbed her and then grabbed her hair.  Without mercy, Commander Xue slammed Miss Yun's head against the wall so many times that it seemed to shake and was about to collapse.

 "YOU DIE!!"  Commander Xue shouted continuously destroying Miss Yun's blood-soaked body.

 "YOU ARE THE ONE DESIRING TO DIE, CALL FUCKING!"  Miss Yun replied loudly and continued to endure.

 "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING???"  said Commander Xue even more furiously.

 The sturdy man was about to slam Miss Yun's head back but stopped immediately after a trident was pointed towards her neck without anyone holding it.

 A second later he realized that in this world the only one who possessed such a trident weapon and strength was its king, King Liuu Qiang Wen

 "Strike one more time, Commander Xue."  King Qiang Wen ordered quietly as he stood in the doorway of his residence with a calm face

 Commander Xue slowly released his grip on Miss Yun's hair and bowed deeply as if in regret.

 The king furrowed his brows and walked over to Commander Xue, he looked displeased.

 "Do it one more time and I'll replace it with your head."  King Qiang asserted then stretched out his hand towards his golden trident.

 Miraculously the trident drew closer to the master and King Qiang swiftly caught him.  Slowly the king hid the trident in his palm then looked back at Commander Xue, who he thought was presumptuous.

 "CUT YOUR HANDS !!"  King Qiang's orders were no less firm.

 Commander Xue gasped, he looked up and then bowed down begging for forgiveness for his negligence.

 "Forgive your Majesty .... I'm sorry ...." he prayed many times full of regret.

 "You've filled my room with paintings of the blood of my future queen, so why should I forgive you? Now ... CUT YOUR HANDS!"  King Qiang said no less cruel.

 Commander Xue stared at his king a little longer but soon, with trembling hands, he grabbed the sword he had put on his back.

 "For the sake of my loyalty to you, Your Majesty ... I beg your pardon once again."  he said once again with a look full of regret.

 "DON'T MAKE ME REPEAT MY COMMANDS, PANGLIMA XUE."

 The man looked at his master then without thinking again, Commander Xue cut off his own hand.

 Blassh.

 A scream of pain emerged from the mouth of Commander Xue, the hand was flung towards King Qiang Wen.  The king was silent, staring at his commander's hand and pain with a cold gaze.

 For Miss Yun it was an extremely terrifying sight, she realized that the man who had crushed her had lost to the king himself.  Miss Yun realized that the enemy she had to watch out for was not the rancid commander but the king himself, Liuu Qiang Wen.

 "You are the obedient commander, you give me your hand voluntarily. I hope that one day you will volunteer even more and give your head to me, Commander Xue."  said King Qiang coldly and with no expression at all.

 “Your Majesty…” Commander Xue's hiss was barely audible, his voice engulfed in pain alone.  For him to lose one arm was fine as long as he didn't lose the king's trust.

 "GO! TAKE CARE OF YOUR Wounds, BURY YOUR HANDS ALSO. ONE DAY LATER I WILL ASK ANOTHER PART OF YOUR BODY."  King Qiang half snapped.

Commander Xue rose from his seat, bowed respectfully and then left the king's presence with the help of some of the king's loyal guards.

 The king's terrifying gaze slowly turned to Miss Yun who was still kneeling with her head bleeding.  The man approached making Miss Yun alert again.

 "You look badly injured."  he said coldly as he stretched out his hand towards Miss Yun.

 Miss Yun's red eyes had not faded yet, her fangs were still sticking out and her nails were still ready to scratch.  Those eyes stared at the king with rage and anger.

 "Let me go! Get off me."  said Miss Yun sharply.

 "I will never let you go."  King Qiang replied coldly, making Miss Yun even angrier.

 The girl clawed at the hand Qiang Wen stretched out to her, the king was startled and began to feel displeased with the treatment Miss Yun did

 "I want to go home, return me to my world!"  asked Miss Yun shouting loudly.

 King Qiang Wen didn't answer, his sexy lips just froze and didn't say a word.  But a few seconds later a strong wind blew and swept through King Qiang Wen's room, not only that the door to the residence and the windows closed by themselves.

 "What are you doing? Set me free!"  shouted Miss Yun once again but did not change the stance of the poison king, Liuu Qiang Wen.

 King Qiang Wen just stood there and continued to stare at Miss Yun's body with a cold gaze.  He was silent as Miss Yun tried to get up and attack him with her claws.

 "Free me, damn king! What else do you want from me? You've taken my parents, ruined my kingdom. Then what else?"  shouted Miss Yun furiously as she continued to strike with her claws.

 Suddenly, as fast as lightning, Qiang Wen grabbed Miss Yun's hand, pushed her body so that it hit the wall many times due to Miss Yun's rebellious body being quite strong.

 "I told you I won't let you go, do you understand?"  said King Qiang Wen sharply right in front of Miss Yun's face.

 "For what? Do you want to kill me too?"  asked Miss Yun while struggling but her body was already locked by Qiang Wen's body so that she could not move at all.

 "Killing you is my goal the umpteenth time. Once I get what I want, without being asked I will kill you, Miss Yun Xiaowen."

 "How do you know my name?"  asked Miss Yun in amazement, looking into the eyes of the man who was now right in front of his face.

 King Qiang Wen did not answer, his gaze momentarily descended on Miss Yun's chest that was rising and falling from gasping for breath.

 "REMOVE YOUR BAD EYES FROM MY BODY, MESUM KING. ONCE MORE YOU DO THAT I'M GOING TO PROCEED BOTH YOUR EYES !!"  said Miss Yun furiously with a flushed face.

 King Qiang glanced at her for a moment with such a disdain, he saw Miss Yun's red face and it was quite adorable.

 Yes, King Qiang acknowledged the feeling of grief that crept into his chest as a result of seeing Miss Yun's face.

 "Your chest doesn't excite me enough, why don't you just take off your clothes."  said King Qiang coldly and shamelessly.

 "YOU'RE ABUSING ME!"  angry Miss Yun then rebelled with all her might.

 That girl exerted all the heat in her body, one thing Miss Yun could not tolerate the King Qiang Wen who was famous for having a thousand powers.  The man gasped and let go of his hand.  King Qiang Wen took a few steps back and began to be wary of Miss Yun.

 The girl stepped forward to attack Qiang Wen without the slightest hesitation but before she had the chance to attack Qiang Wen, she had thrown the paralyzing needle quickly at Miss Yun's chest.

 The girl gasped without being able to avoid it, she took off the needle but a few seconds later time seemed to slow down and Miss Yun slowly fell to the floor with a weakened consciousness.

 King Qiang Wen only glanced at him coldly, yet his indifference was only for a moment.  A moment later he exerted his strength and lifted Miss Yun's body onto the spacious bed.

 At his command the doors and windows opened by themselves, he turned and summoned several guards who were guarding the king's residence.

 "Bodyguard ..." he called in a powerful tone.

 "Yes ... Your Majesty."  said the guard as he ran towards the king and bowed respectfully.

 "Clean up this place and tell a few servants to prepare my main room. I will take special care of Miss Yun."  broke King Qiang flat.

 "Yes, Your Majesty."  replied the guards in unison then bowed and withdrew from before the king.

 King Qiang was still silent, he studied Miss Yun's body covered with wounds here and there.  He took a breath and then turned around to leave the place.

 I don't know what's on his mind right now.  Only he himself knows.

 ****

 "You'd better not mess around anymore, Your Majesty."  said Concubine Sun in front of King Qiang who was busy double-checking the palace tax report.

 King Qiang did not pay attention, he was still busy reading and did not look at his eldest concubine at all.

 "Your Majesty, what will the people say if they know that their king will marry a demon with human body like Yun Xiaowen? Your Majesty, this will tarnish your reputation. Your Majesty ...."

 "Come out!"  Qiang Wen warned quietly without looking at Concubine Sun.

 "Your Excellency..."

 "EXIT!"  snarled Qiang Wen loudly which shocked Concubine Sun.

 Slowly the handsome but cold man turned his head to the concubine Sun who was nailed in his room with a scared look.

 "Don't force me and end up making me have to scream, Concubine Sun. My offer is still the same as yesterday, if you can help me realize my wish then whatever you want I will fulfill and obey. Now the question is can you afford it Miss Sun?"  challenge King Qiang sharply.

 Miss Sun was unable to answer, it made the king snorted again in annoyance and went back to his report.

 "You are nothing more than a grasshopper, Miss Sun. You mean nothing and you are just troublesome. If you don't have any advantages you better shut up or I'll hate you even more."  said King Qiang Wen dryly.

 "Your Majesty, it's up to you whether you hate me or not but I'm here to represent your twenty concubines, we don't agree if you take that girl and mingle with us."  said Miss Sun still grinning.

 King Qiang sighed and then got up from his seat, he turned towards Miss Sun and began to approach her with barely audible steps.

 "Representing my twenty concubines huh? Representing or just you, Miss Sun? Among them only you are always fussing and rebelling against me. Well if you represent them, tell them my message is Miss Sun. Tell them, please they choose between going.  or be quiet. "  replied King Qiang Wen coldly.

 "But Your Majesty ...."

 "GO OR SHUT UP, THOUGHT IT WAS OK!"
