Rebirth of Jinxuan
Chapter 5: Encountering a Demon in the Deep Forest, Danger Arises
Lu Yuhang and Lu Jinxuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw several dark figures moving about in the woods not far away.
"Mother, it sounds like someone's there!" Lu Yuhang curiously pulled Lu Jinxuan's hand, wanting to go closer and see what was going on.
"Don't go, be careful, they might be bad people." Lu Jinxuan grabbed Lu Yuhang and cautiously observed the surroundings.
Deep within the dense forest, Mo Chenfan held his breath, his sharp eyes scanning his surroundings. He sensed something amiss; a faint smell of blood permeated the air, mixed with an indescribable demonic aura. He gripped his longsword tightly, a chill running from his feet to his heart.
"Come out! What kind of hero hides like this!" Mo Chenfan shouted, trying to force the demon in the shadows to show itself.
The only response he received was the cawing of a few crows, which sounded particularly jarring in the silent forest. The surrounding trees seemed to come alive, their branches rustling as if mocking his overestimation of his abilities.
Suddenly, a white figure appeared before him like a ghost. It was a young man, dressed in spotless white robes, his delicate face devoid of color, his eyes as deep and unfathomable as a cold pool, radiating a chilling light.
"Who are you?" Mo Chenfan was startled and subconsciously took a step back, his palms sweating as he gripped the sword hilt.
The boy in white didn't speak, but just stared at him coldly, a strange smile curving his lips.
Before Mo Chenfan could react, a red figure appeared as if out of thin air. It was a woman in red, with an exquisitely beautiful face, but her eyes held a hint of bewitching allure.
"Oh, isn't this the famous Demon Hunter Mo? What, are you here to capture my brother and me today?" The woman in red covered her mouth and chuckled, her voice as clear and melodious as a silver bell, yet carrying a chilling aura.
"You are... demons?" Mo Chenfan's heart sank. He knew that he had encountered a master this time, and not just one.
The appearance of the boy in white and the woman in red filled Mo Chenfan with deep despair. He knew that his chances of survival today were slim.
Just then, a childish voice came from not far away: "Mommy, look, it looks like people are fighting over there!"
"Run!" Mo Chenfan turned around abruptly and saw Lu Yuhang and Lu Jinxuan walking towards them. His expression changed drastically, and he roared, "Run! It's dangerous here!"
However, instead of running away, Lu Yuhang grumbled with dissatisfaction, "Mommy, Uncle Mo is so mean! Why is he hugging another woman..."
Lu Yuhang's words struck Mo Chenfan like a bolt from the blue. He looked at Lu Jinxuan in a panic, only to see her covering her mouth and chuckling, her eyes full of mockery.
"Young man, you've misunderstood. I'm not..." Mo Chenfan tried to explain, but the woman in red held him tightly, making it impossible for him to move.
"Oh dear, Demon Hunter Mo, what are you shy about? I'm not going to eat you..." The woman in red chuckled, but her tone carried an undeniable air of dominance.
Seeing that Mo Chenfan ignored him, Lu Yuhang became even angrier and pointed at the boy in white, saying, "Mother, look at him, he's ignoring me! And the woman he's holding, she's obviously not a good person!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuhang's words, the white-robed youth's previously expressionless face suddenly turned serious. He waved his hand, signaling the demon clan members behind him to step back.
"You all step back and guard the surroundings. No one is allowed to approach without my order!" The white-robed youth's voice was exceptionally cold, carrying an unquestionable air of authority.
Although the demons were puzzled, they obeyed the order and quickly retreated to a distance, surrounding them.
The young man in white turned to look at Lu Yuhang, a complex expression flashing in his eyes. He slowly walked up to Lu Yuhang, bent down, and respectfully asked, "Young master, may I hug you?"
The sudden action stunned everyone. Mo Chenfan was especially shocked and tried to stop her, but the woman in red held him tightly, rendering him unable to move.
"How can you be so rude, kid?" Lu Jinxuan glared at Lu Yuhang, pretending to be angry, then turned to the boy in white and said with a smile, "Young man, don't mind him, he's just a kid who doesn't know any better and talks nonsense."
The young man in white ignored Lu Jinxuan, his gaze fixed on Lu Yuhang, his eyes filled with anticipation and a hint of barely perceptible tension.
Lu Yuhang looked at the strange uncle in front of him, then at Mo Chenfan who looked anxious. After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded.
Seeing this, the white-robed youth smiled with delight. He carefully picked up Lu Yuhang, and a surge of black demonic power instantly enveloped Lu Yuhang.
However, at that moment, a dazzling silver light suddenly emanated from Lu Yuhang's body, completely overshadowing the boy's black demonic power.
Upon seeing this, the woman in red's expression changed drastically. She exclaimed in surprise and quickly released Mo Chenfan.
“Red…” Mo Chenfan stared at the blinding silver light, his eyes filled with fear, and he uttered a single word in a trembling voice.
“Red…” Mo Chenfan’s voice trembled violently, the word “Red” seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat, carrying an indescribable fear and a trace of despair.
Ai Xi, the woman in red, had never seen Mo Chenfan so distraught. Following Mo Chenfan's gaze, she looked at Lu Yuhang, and the blinding silver light terrified her. "Mo...could it be...he really is..."
The white-robed youth felt the powerful energy emanating from the child in his arms, and his expression turned extremely grim. The black demonic energy receded like a tide, and he took a few steps back in surprise and uncertainty, setting Lu Yuhang down.
Lu Yuhang was completely unaware of the changes around him. He looked curiously at the silver light shimmering on his body, reached out his little hand to grab it, but missed.
"The Crimson Serpent Demon King..." Mo Chenfan murmured to himself, that terrifying name resurfacing in his mind, a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He gripped his bow and arrow tightly, his body tense, ready for battle.
Ai Xi also abandoned her usual allure, conjuring a long red whip. The surrounding demons were terrified, drawing their weapons as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Who exactly are you?" the white-clad youth asked sharply, pointing at Lu Yuhang.
Lu Jinxuan sensed something was wrong and quickly pulled Lu Yuhang behind her, looking at everyone warily, "What are you trying to do?"
"Mother, they are so fierce..." Lu Yuhang said timidly, hiding behind Lu Jinxuan.
No one answered his question. All eyes were on Lu Yuhang. The silver light gradually dissipated, revealing Lu Yuhang's original appearance.
Just then, the white-robed youth, who had been silent all along, suddenly knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully to Lu Yuhang, "Young Master..."
The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard. Mo Chenfan and Ai Xi were particularly stunned, staring at the scene before them in disbelief. Lu Jinxuan was also taken aback, glancing questioningly at the white-clad youth, then down at the bewildered Lu Yuhang…
