The End Times as a Song

Chapter 18 Let's Talk

A long, slender hand grabbed him, and the lump of coal instantly turned into a small, black lump of coal.

"Kid...long time no see...!"

A seductive, aloof voice, tinged with a chill, reached Coal Ball's ears.

"Young Master, it's been a long time..."

The coal ball replied, trembling.

"Trying to run...it's too late, hehehe...?"

A cold laugh, like thunder, echoed throughout the entire Guixu Palace.

"No... I wouldn't dare, Coal Ball wouldn't dare..."

Coal Ball felt a chill run down its spine. It pinched its ears and begged for mercy.

"Hmph... Lies."

The boy stared sharply at the coal ball, his tone as cold and piercing as ice, making the coal ball tremble with fear.

"No...no, young master, I really won't dare..." Coal Ball pleaded incessantly, terrified.

"Who is your young master...!"

The boy abruptly changed the subject, impatiently issuing orders and threatening the coal ball.

"I dare not, young master, please don't roast me with fire!"

The coal ball begged for mercy in fear, struggling wildly with its arms and legs flailing.

"Turn around and answer properly...?"

The boy turned around and casually tossed the coal ball aside. It landed heavily on the ground with a groan.

Coal Ball reluctantly stood up, rubbed his backside, and turned to face the demon he feared most in his life.

A pair of deep, scarlet eyes were visible, and her silver-white hair was half-tied back, neatly tied, and fell naturally. Her features were exquisite, and her beauty was almost otherworldly. A red dress fluttered in the wind, making her appear exceptionally neat. Her unusually fair skin possessed an unnatural, almost sickly beauty, giving her a delicate, noble air, making her seem neither celestial nor demonic.

"Young Master, what are your orders...?"

Startled, Coal Ball staggered back several steps, then fell down, got up, and knelt down to reply.

"Is there any news about the Divine Source...!"

"No……!"

Coal Ball instinctively covered his mouth as he spoke.

"You didn't tell the truth...?"

"No, really no, young master, how could Coal Ball dare to deceive you..."

"Lying... Why are you covering your mouth? Are you itching for a beating?"

The boy in red kept playing with a small fireball in his hand.

“If the young master doesn’t believe me, then deal with Coal Ball… If the young master doesn’t believe Coal Ball, then whatever Coal Ball says is wrong. In that case, you might as well just deal with me directly.”

The coal ball spoke with utter arrogance.

"Hmph... That makes sense... Get up and answer me properly."

The boy in red spoke in a very aloof tone.

“Young Master, there was indeed chaos that night…”

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Coal Ball decided to tell the truth.

"Oh dear, young master, we're not starting the pot, we're burning coal..."

Outside the gates of Guixu Palace, a woman dressed in very revealing clothes walked in awkwardly, interrupting Coal Ball's conversation with the young master with a voice as sweet as honey.

"Hawk Return, what... what are you saying?"

Coal Ball angrily scolded.

"My young master, that useless coal ball is unreliable. You should think of me sometimes. Rely on me and let the falcon be mine. You won't lose out..." The provocative tone was as she approached the aloof face of the red-clad youth.

He then added sarcastically, "Young Master, don't forget," that brat Coal Ball is from the Apocalypse. Only Falcon belongs wholeheartedly to you, Young Master.

"you……!"

"Whatever the young master desires, Jun Gui will go through fire and water to find it for you...!"

His tone was ambiguous and provocative.

"Where's the stuff?"

"Fragrant Grass Village...!"

"Yes, young master, the item is in Fangcao Village,"

Are you sure...?

"Young Master, don't compare me to a piece of trash like a lump of coal. It's pointless; I can't compare to him. And when it comes to cowardice, I can't beat him either! Hahaha...!"

“You…you damned wicked woman…” Coal Ball interrupted the woman’s reply indignantly.

"What's wrong, Coal Ball? You don't dare utter a single word in front of the young master, do you? Hahaha... Are you trying to make me laugh to death with this pathetic sight?"

"It's your own fault for not being capable enough to handle the young master's affairs well, so don't blame me for taking the credit."

"Tch...who wants to steal your credit?"

"Hey, Coal Ball, you're so arrogant!"

“Shut up…!”

"Young Master...!"

"Step back...!"

"Stink Falcon...!"

Coal Ball pretended to be sophisticated and secretly replied before obediently retreating, not forgetting to give a mocking look.

"Coal ball...you...!"

Falcon retreated, feeling frustrated.

"Fangcao Village, interesting."

"In the beginning of the Great Wilderness, when the Three Realms were not yet at peace, villages actually existed in this chaotic world."

"It seems worth the trip... to find out more...!"

"The divine source returns to nothingness, the end times are annihilated, annihilation gives birth, the end times are destroyed, the end times are born, annihilation is destroyed." The red-clad youth smoothed his flowing silver hair, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

"The divine source returns, the demon god emerges, the final words of the void are spoken...!"

Immediately, he gathered the aurora, summoned a fireball, and threw it to the ground, where a cute little fireball appeared. "Fire, keep an eye on Falcon Return, and report to me immediately if there's any movement...!"

"Master, aren't we burning coal briquettes today?!

The adorable little fireball baby asked a question in a cute and innocent way.

"Fire, stop joking. We can do the coal-burning thing another day. Let's finish what the master asked us to do today first."

"Alright then, Fire will obey..." Fire was a little disappointed that she couldn't see the coal ball, and then skipped away and disappeared in a flash.

With a pop, a puff of smoke appeared, and after it disappeared, a cute little snowball with wings appeared.

"Master, I'm so bored! Can you give me some work to do...?"

"Is there any news about the one I asked you to find?"

"Master, searching for the dragon is so boring, can't we do something else...!"

"Then what do you want to do...!"

"I'm looking for coal briquettes." She accidentally let it slip.

"If you catch Da, I'll make you meet Coal Ball...!"

"Master, really."

"When have I ever lied to you...!"

"Get to work, Master, wait for my good news...!"

Inside Guixu Palace, the presence of Huo'er and the Snow Elf was gone, and the palace returned to its desolate state. The red-clad youth looked at Lin Moshi on the ground, which seemed to evoke memories of his own shattered childhood. He said sarcastically, "How ridiculous, he has driven himself to this state..."

"You're not human, disgusting...!"

"Humans don't have magic...!"

"You're a monster...!"

"We'll bully you...!"

"Get out of our Zhongluo Village...!"

The scene shifts...!

"Hehehe... You're not one of our demon race either!"

"You demon, your bloodline is impure, and there seems to be something else on you...!"

"Get away from him... Don't touch him...!"

"Mother...I'm so scared...!"

"Don't be afraid, child. You are a human being, and you have your mother. Don't be afraid...!"

"Aunt...!"

"Ridiculous, a white-haired youth with a snowflake mark on his forehead, and he calls himself human? Is that a characteristic that humans should have?"

“My child is a human being. You demons, don’t even think about harming my son.”

"Hahaha... Humans, they know the art of transformation... How laughable...!"

"Welcome back, Lord of the Apocalypse, to the Void!!"

A gentle tear slid down her snow-white skin.
