The Carefree Little Immortal, Episode 5: The Descendants of Demons, Chapter 4: If Heaven Is Unmerciful 

Then, a shrill scream rang out, and a moment later, Xiao Xuan, covered in dust, followed Shui Ruo out of the woods.

The girl coldly said, "I'm warning you again, if you dare to act recklessly again, don't blame me for being even harsher than this time!"

Xiao Xuan, like a wilted eggplant, drooped his head and remained silent, his handsome face, covered in fallen leaves, looking utterly disheveled.

"I'm going back!"

Shui Ruo said.

"Going back so early? You promised to spend the whole day with me!"

Xiao Xuan quickly grabbed her.

Shui Ruo said angrily, "I was going to stay with you, but you always... always cheat!"

"I won't be naughty anymore,"

Xiao Xuan promised.

"You ruined such a good feeling!"

The girl glared at him, her cheeks flushed.

"It's all my fault, all my fault,"

Xiao Xuan coaxed her, holding her arm and trying to soothe her, but secretly thinking, wouldn't that be more intimate?

"Hey, who's over there?"

Shui Ruo suddenly stopped, pointing ahead.

"It looks like...it's Xiao Wan!"

Xiao Xuan also spotted the slender figure ahead.

The two hurried over, and Xiao Wan, who was standing on a large rock, heard the sound, turned around, and saw them. She paused for a moment and said, "You're here."

Xiao Xuan and Shui Ruo blushed and jumped onto the rock together. Shui Ruo asked, "What are you doing here all by yourself?"

But Xiao Wan looked worried and pointed down the mountain, saying, "Look down there, I wonder if something has happened?"

Xiao Xuan and Shui Ruo looked down the mountain and saw that the center of the Marquis's mansion was brightly lit, which was different from usual. Xiao Xuan chuckled and said, "Nothing much, that kid must be throwing a big banquet to welcome the Holy Envoy." Xiao Wan

shook her head and said, "You don't know, after Shao Lin met the Holy Envoy at noon, he locked himself in his study and hasn't come out since."

"How do you know?"

Xiao Xuan asked in surprise.

Xiao Wan, still gazing down the mountain, seemed somewhat uneasy as she said, "Shao Lin had asked me to go see the set of Eight Desolations and Ten Extraordinary Talismans that Eleventh Uncle left him today, but when I went there this afternoon, I heard he had locked himself in his study and ordered that he wouldn't see anyone..."

Xiao Xuan glared and said, "Well, this kid is putting on airs with us!"

Xiao Wan said, "No, something must have happened. I was only there for a short while when I saw many officers arrive one after another, but they were all turned away, and they all looked grim."

Xiao Xuan and Shui Ruo exchanged a glance, both recalling the officers they had encountered during the day, who all seemed to have worried expressions.

"Could it be... could it be that the news brought by the Holy Envoy is bad? Is it that the reinforcements couldn't arrive in time? Or... did the court not send any reinforcements at all?"

Shui Ruo frowned.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Wan immediately became tense.

"No way... should we tell Master?"

Xiao Wan said.

"No, no, it's so late, let's not disturb Master. Let's go down and see what's going on first,"

Xiao Xuan said.

Both women agreed, so the three of them quickly descended the mountain. Xiao Wan led the way, taking Xiao Xuan and Shui Ruo to a large garden in the center of the Marquis's residence. From afar, they could see lanterns hanging high, bright as day. In front of the gate, a few officers were gathered, each with a solemn expression, creating a strange atmosphere.

As the three approached, one of the officers suddenly rushed towards the gate, shouting, "Let me in! If we wait any longer, things will get really messy!"

Xiao Xuan looked over and saw that the man was burly, with a full beard, and a thick iron whip hanging at his waist. It was the same officer surnamed Gu who had tried to capture him last time.

Several guards at the gate immediately stepped forward to stop him. The leader called out, "General Gu, please calm down. The lord has given strict orders that no one will be seen today!"

General Gu struggled to push and shove, but could not break through. Suddenly, he turned to an officer beside him and shouted, "Commander Meng, you know the situation right now. Quickly order these bastards to get out of the way!"

Commander Meng smiled bitterly and said, "It's no use you going in. Didn't General Ji force his way in this afternoon? And what happened to him?"

General Gu angrily waved his arm and shouted, "Old Ji couldn't persuade the lord, so let me try!"

"Stop making a scene! With your temper, you'll probably be beheaded as soon as you go in!"

Commander Meng said sternly.

"Let them chop! If this drags on, we'll all die sooner or later!"

General Gu said, suddenly turning around and shouting to the officers in front of the gate, "Listen up, everyone! The demonic army is growing increasingly rampant. This morning, another village was massacred; the scene was horrific. Zeyang City is on the verge of collapse, and our lord has ordered the entire city to be on high alert! Now the people are in turmoil and panic is everywhere, yet our lord is turning a blind eye, drinking behind closed doors. What kind of behavior is this?"

Xiao Xuan and the other two were stunned.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Commander Meng roared angrily, slamming his hand on the hilt of his sword.

"Old Ji said it himself. He said he saw it with his own eyes when he went in this afternoon. Our lord was drinking cup after cup, completely drunk!"

General Gu replied without fear.

The officers stirred, whispering amongst themselves.

"What's going on? We spent so much effort setting up the defenses, why are we suddenly being told to withdraw?"

"Those broken crossbows were so hard to get up to the city walls, and now they're being taken down one by one. Isn't this just making things difficult for us?"

"The Holy Envoy entered the city this afternoon.

Could it be that reinforcements have arrived?" "This is outrageous! Even if reinforcements have arrived, why are we being told to withdraw before they've even taken over the defenses? What if the demons launch a surprise attack at this moment?"

"I dare not think about it! Heaven help us, please don't let anything happen tonight..."

Seeing the chaotic scene, Commander Meng suddenly flew into a rage, pointed at General Gu, and shouted, "Men, seize this alarmist fellow and let the lord deal with him personally!"

As soon as he said this, several soldiers rushed forward, seized General Gu, and took the thick iron whip from his waist.

General Gu did not resist, but continued to shout, "Everyone, quickly find a way to wake the master! Otherwise, the demon army will take advantage of this opportunity to attack, and Zeyang will surely be a river of blood!" Xiao   Xuan grew angrier

as he listened, his face turning ashen. "At such a critical moment, he actually ordered the entire city to be on high alert. Has that kid gone mad?"

"There must be some reason," Xiao Wan said, her worry deepening.   Shui Ruo nodded. "I don't think Shao Lin is such a fool. It would be best to ask him in person."   "Alright! Let's go find him now and see if this kid is possessed!"   Xiao Xuan said.   Xiao Wan whispered, "We definitely can't get in through the main gate. Let's find another way in."











The three quietly left the main gate and walked a long way along the wall until they finally found a secluded spot. They then used their flying magic to leap into the garden.

There were many houses in the garden, and Xiao Xuan and Shui Ruo were worrying about where they were when Xiao Wan said, "Come with me, I know where the study is."

"How do you know?"

Xiao Xuan was slightly taken aback.

Xiao Wan glanced at him and said calmly, "I came here a few days ago. Shao Lin invited me to see his collection of magic talismans."

Xiao Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt a pang of jealousy, thinking with annoyance, "That boy is so despicable! He knows Xiao Wan likes magic talismans, so he's using this to coax her!"

The study was a pavilion overlooking the water, with a small lotus pond in front and green banana trees on both sides, appearing unusually serene and tranquil under the moonlight.

"There are guards over there,"

Shui Ruo whispered, staring at a certain spot.

"Don't disturb them, let's go in through the window,"

Xiao Wan said.

The south-facing window of the study was open, letting in a few dim rays of light. With a little trickery, the three slipped into the study unnoticed.

Upon entering, a strong smell of wine assaulted their nostrils. They frowned and looked around. In the west wing, two purple elm bookshelves lined the wall, while a display case of ten scenic views stood to the north. In the center of the room was a single fragrant nanmu desk and a carved rosewood chair. Several paintings and inscriptions by famous calligraphers and painters hung on the walls. Most striking was an eight-panel screen across the partition, its surface painted with vibrant green hues, depicting a magnificent landscape painting, exuding an air of extraordinary grandeur amidst its elegance.

However, the room was now littered with wine jars, spilled and scattered everywhere. In the east wing's waterside pavilion, someone was slumped over a table, a half-empty wine jug still loosely in his hand.

The three immediately recognized the man. Xiao Xuan angrily exclaimed, "This kid is indeed dead drunk!"

He rushed over, grabbed him, and shouted, "You brat! With a great enemy at hand, you're indulging in a life of debauchery!"

Fang Shaolin struggled for a moment, then glared at him with drunken eyes and yelled, "Get out! Who dares to stop me!"

"You little bastard! How dare you yell at me!"

Xiao Xuan roared, raising his fist to punch him.

"No!"

Xiao Wan cried out, rushing over to grab his fist.

Shui Ruo also quickly stepped forward to stop him, scolding Xiao Xuan, "Ask him first!"

"What's the point of asking him when he's in such a sorry state?"

Xiao Xuan said irritably.

"I'll go!"

Shui Ruo turned around, hands on her hips, striking a pose like a senior sister, and glared at the swaying Fang Shaolin, shouting, "Hey! The demonic army could arrive at any moment! Instead of supervising military affairs and maintaining strict defenses, you've come here to drink, and even ordered the entire city to be evacuated! I ask you! What exactly is going on?"

"It's...it's you!"

Fang Shaolin's face lit up with joy, and he suddenly shoved Shui Ruo aside, grabbing Xiao Xuan and saying, "Good! Just in time! Let's have another drinking contest, this time let's see who can hold their liquor better!"

"Contest my foot! I think you're hopeless!"

Xiao Xuan scolded angrily, her eyebrows raised.

"You dare not? I misjudged you..."

Fang Shaolin chuckled, his eyes full of provocation and contempt.

"I dare not?"

Xiao Xuan was furious, her eyes sweeping around, and she suddenly picked up a jar of wine from the table.

"Good, good, good! You've got guts!"

Fang Shaolin gave a thumbs up, then suddenly bent down and picked up another jar of wine from the ground, shouting, "Whoever falls down first loses."

Shui Ruo was furious and yelled at Xiao Xuan, "Are you an idiot?! Can't you see he's provoking you?"

"What kind of time is this to be crazy with him like this!"

Xiao Wan also scolded Xiao Xuan, rushing between the two men and saying with a stern face, "No drinking, no one is allowed to drink!"

Xiao Xuan's heart skipped a beat, suddenly realizing that his usually kind and gentle junior sister could be so fierce when she got angry.

But there was someone even stronger.

"Get out of the way!"

Fang Shaolin shouted angrily, "When men are drinking, women all get out of the way!"

"It's me!"

Xiao Wan's eyes widened, feeling incredibly wronged.

"You? You too!"

Fang Shaolin reeked of alcohol and shouted, "You, don't get in my way, get out of my way!"

Xiao Wan stared at Fang Shaolin in astonishment, frozen in front of him.

Xiao Xuan grew even angrier, picked up the wine jar and gulped down a large mouthful, shouting at Fang Shaolin, "Come on! The bear will fall first!"

Xiao Wan's eyes suddenly reddened, and she turned to leave.

Fang Shaolin seemed to snap out of his daze, quickly reaching out to grab the girl's wrist.

"Why are you pulling me!"

Xiao Wan said coldly.

Fang Shaolin's lips twitched, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Let go,"

Xiao Wan whispered.

Fang Shaolin stared at her intently, as if in a daze.

Xiao Wan suddenly jerked her wrist away.

"I'm sorry,"

Fang Shaolin suddenly said.

The room fell silent for a moment, and Xiao Wan stopped struggling.

Xiao Xuan's eyes blazed with fury as he stared fiercely at Fang Shaolin's hand, which was still tightly gripping the girl's slender wrist.

After a long while, Xiao Wan bit her lip and asked softly, "What exactly happened?"

Fang Shaolin's Adam's apple bobbed, and he uttered four words with great difficulty: "Zeyang is finished."

The three people beside him looked at each other. Shui Ruo frowned and said, "The imperial court didn't send any reinforcements, did it?"

Fang Shaolin released Xiao Wan's wrist, looked up at the roof, and sighed deeply as if exhausted.

"That doesn't necessarily mean Zeyang can't be defended. Don't you still have more than ten thousand Tiger Head Army soldiers here? Their combat power is extraordinary. Now that they have the Guardian Talisman, and with the help of the Mountain-Breaking Crossbow that my uncle has rushed to make, they may not be unable to hold off the demon army."

Xiao Wan said, her expression calm and resolute.

"There are also many capable people from all walks of life who have come to help, as well as three hundred Demon Subduers from the Demon-Slaying Fortress."

Shui Ruo added.

Fang Shaolin shook his head with a bitter smile, and said weakly, "No, not only do we have no reinforcements, but we've also lost the Tiger Head Army. The imperial envoy has conveyed the Emperor's decree, ordering me to hand over all the Tiger Head Army troops in Zeyang City and to transfer them away from Daze within two days."

The three people beside him stared in disbelief.

Xiao Xuan was filled with shock and anger: "What! The Emperor not only won't send a single soldier to reinforce us, but he's also going to transfer all the Tiger Head Army troops away?" Fang

Shaolin looked haggard and was too lazy to even nod.

"Are you kidding me? Zeyang City is on the verge of collapse, and this tyrant is trying to cut off our lifeline. Has he lost his mind?"

Xiao Xuan was both anxious and angry, and spoke without thinking.

"Could it be that His Majesty is unaware of the situation here, and that's why he issued the decree to mobilize troops at this critical juncture?"

Xiao Wan pondered.

Fang Shaolin shook his head and said, "I'm certain. I've written everything that happened in Daze clearly in my report."

Shui Ruo frowned and said, "That's strange. Isn't this Tiger Head Army stationed in Daze? Why wasn't it mobilized earlier or later, but only at this critical moment?" "

The imperial decree says that the court will soon besiege the rebel army of Nangong Yang in Yunzhou. The Central Plains lacks sufficient troops, so the Tiger Head Army of Zeyang is to be mobilized to supplement and reinforce them,"

Fang Shaolin said.

"Foolish! Foolish! To besiege the rebel army, they can abandon Zeyang? Those rebels of Nangong are just people, while the threat to Zeyang is a man-eating demon. Can't they tell which is more important, which is more urgent, and which is less urgent!"

Xiao Xuan said angrily, "I've long heard that this Shao Xuanyuan is incompetent and absurd, and it's all true!"

Fang Shaolin suddenly picked up a wine jar and started chugging it down.

Xiao Xuan, filled with resentment, also picked up a wine jar and drank heavily.

"Don't drink! We need to think of a solution quickly,"

Shui Ruo said.

"Even with the Tiger Head Army here, they might not be able to withstand the Demon Army. Now that they've all been transferred, what am I supposed to use to defend Zeyang!"

Fang Shaolin said, pouring wine as he spoke, becoming more and more agitated, spilling wine that soaked a large part of his clothes.

Xiao Xuan suddenly said, "You are the magistrate of Daze, the highest-ranking official here. As long as you don't give your approval, the Tiger Head Army might not be able to be mobilized!"

Fang Shaolin laughed and stared at him with a strange look, saying, "Are you... trying to make me defy the imperial decree?"

Xiao Xuan shouted, "Defy the imperial decree then! For the sake of Zeyang City, for the sake of the common people, what's the big deal about defying the imperial decree once!"

Shui Ruo immediately scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're just giving bad advice!"

Xiao Xuan only stared at Fang Shaolin, looking at him with a "let's see if you have any guts" expression.

Fang Shaolin chuckled again, but weakly, and casually remarked, "It's really nothing serious, haha, probably just the execution of the entire family."

Xiao Xuan stammered, "This...that serious?"

Shui Ruo glared at him and said, "What do you think! Resisting an imperial edict is no joke! Besides, defying this order to mobilize troops is practically tantamount to rebellion. Executing the entire family is the least of your worries; ninety-nine percent of the time, it'll be the extermination of nine generations of relatives!"

Xiao Xuan stood there dumbfounded for a while before stammering, "So that's it? We're just going to watch Zeyang City be bloodied and plundered by the demon army?"

No one could answer. The terrifying scene they had witnessed from the Dream Sword when they flew over Wangze City flashed through their minds, sending chills down their spines.

Xiao Xuan's face turned as white as paper, and he suddenly tilted his head back and gulped down the wine.

Fang Shaolin also gulped down the wine, even faster, and suddenly choked on it, his face turning red.

Xiao Wan quickly patted his back, comforting him, "Don't worry, let's think of other ways."

Though she said this, she herself had no ideas.

With a loud crash, Fang Shaolin slammed the wine jar heavily on the table, bowing deeply, "What other way is there? What other way is there! I... I am the magistrate of Daze, yet... I couldn't protect him, I couldn't protect him..."

His voice choked with emotion.

The others remained silent.

"My family has been marquises for three generations, inheriting the title of Daze, but I never imagined... Zeyang would perish at my hands today, Zeyang's..."

Fang Shaolin suddenly raised his head, his handsome face now streaked with tears: "Tens of thousands of lives lost at my hands!"

The three beside him were shocked, staring at him in disbelief.

What kind of pain and suffering could bring such a man to tears?

Xiao Xuan's perception changed drastically. He thought to himself, "Although this boy has always coveted Xiao Wan and harbored ill intentions, he has a compassionate heart, so he's not entirely despicable..."

"Shao Lin, this isn't your fault! It's all that foolish and incompetent ruler's fault!"

Xiao Wan tried to comfort him.

Fang Shao Lin gave her a deep look and said calmly, "You should leave tomorrow, with the Tiger Head Army in the city. If you delay any longer, you won't be able to leave."

Xiao Wan understood the implication and looked at him, asking, "What about you?"

"I'll stay here,"

Fang Shao Lin said calmly.

Xiao Wan's voice trembled slightly, "You...you're going to stay?"

"I am the commander of Da Ze, the lord of Ze Yang. As long as the city stands, I will stand; if the city falls, I will stand..."

Fang Shao Lin said slowly.

Xiao Xuan suddenly felt a surge of anger and shouted, "I'm not leaving either!"

"You're not leaving?"

Fang Shao Lin turned to look at him.

"The outcome of the last battle was undecided; how can I willingly leave like this!"

Xiao Xuan said.

Fang Shaolin stared intently at him, and something seemed to grow in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Once you stay, you might never be able to leave again. Aren't you afraid?"

"If I can't leave, then I won't leave! If you, Fang Shaolin, aren't afraid to stay, then why should I, Cui Xiaoxuan, be afraid! Even without the Tiger Head Army, we'll still slaughter those demons and evil spirits until they're utterly defeated and flee in terror!"

Xiaoxuan rarely spoke so boldly, his blood boiling.

"Good! Slaughter them

until they're utterly defeated!" Fang Shaolin pushed out and struck Xiaoxuan's palm, shouting, "The wine in this room is all top-quality brew, over ten years old. Tonight, we won't leave until we're drunk!"

"Excellent, just what I wanted!"

Xiaoxuan responded.

The two of them picked up the wine jars and drank heartily, unusually unrestrained and exhilarated.

Shui Ruo and Xiao Wan seemed stunned, no longer stopping them from drinking, but simply standing silently to the side, their eyes already moist.

A short while later, both men had emptied their wine jars. Fang Shaolin wiped his lips with his sleeve and grumbled to Xiao Xuan, "You stay seated and don't move. I'll go get some more wine."

He set up the table, but stumbled after only one step, and the two women beside him quickly steadied him.

Fang Shaolin grinned, then suddenly looked up at Xiao Wan and whispered, "Can't walk anymore? Can you help me find some more wine?"

Xiao Wan bit her lip, looked at him, and finally nodded. She quickly found two jars of wine in the room, returned to the two men, and said softly, "After you finish these, will you stop drinking?"

Fang Shaolin looked at her, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Xiao Wan gazed intently at him.

Fang Shaolin finally smiled and said, "Yes, sir."

Xiao Wan turned to Xiao Xuan and asked, "And you?"

Xiao Xuan was already drunk. Seeing his junior sister staring intently at him, her dark eyes filled with longing and anticipation—an expression he had never seen before—his heart fluttered. He blurted out, "Whatever you say."

Xiao Wan's lips curled slightly as she handed the two jars of wine from her arms to the two of them.

Fang Shaolin and Xiao Xuan each took a jar and drank heartily together again. This time, they drank and shouted incoherently, even cursing the current emperor.

"I bet this bastard is none other than King Zhou of Shang! He even dares to call himself 'Young Xuanyuan'!"

Xiao Xuan cursed.

"He must be the reincarnation of that tyrant, utterly debauched, immoral, and stupid!"

Fang Shaolin chimed in.

"Alas, how could Heaven be so confused? This time, it has sent down such a fool to be emperor!"

Xiao Xuan sighed.

Fang Shaolin slammed his hand on the table and said, "Indeed confused! Utterly confused! And this old fool isn't just confused this time! First there was Xia Jie and Shang Zhou, then Chu Ling and Sui Yang, and now this confused and incompetent ruler!"

"In vain to be called Heaven! In vain to be called Heaven!"

Xiao Xuan exclaimed indignantly, his stomach churning and feeling nauseous from drinking too quickly.

Seeing that he seemed about to vomit but was desperately trying to hold it in, Shui Ruo felt a pang of pain in her heart. She quietly reached out and took his hand, whispering, "Are you feeling unwell? Perhaps... you shouldn't drink anymore?"

Xiao Xuan smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling, and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Turning his head, he saw Xiao Wan looking at him, her eyes full of worry and concern. He felt immensely relieved and declared confidently, "You can all rest assured, I... I, Cui Xiaosheng, can drink ten more jars without any problem!"

Xiao Wan turned her face away.

"Alas, Heaven, why are you so heartless?"

Fang Shaolin was filled with depression. Thinking of the imminent destruction of Zeyang and the tens of thousands of innocent lives lost in the city, he was overwhelmed with grief and despair, his eyes blurring with tears.

The three people beside him glanced at him, all feeling sorrowful and powerless.

"What heavens! This guy seems to be deliberately trying to make the world suffer! I curse his ancestors for generations!"

Xiao Xuan cursed more and more angrily, the alcohol rising in his head, and he blurted out, "Rebel! Rebel! Let's rebel! This kind of inhumanity, let alone the emperor, even heaven itself, we'll rebel against him!"

Fang Shaolin suddenly froze.

No one knew that Xiao Xuan's angry words were like a thunderclap in his heart, the echo lingering for a long time.

"Why aren't you drinking? Drink up, drink up!"

Xiao Xuan was in high spirits, and the eldest brother was very dissatisfied with his behavior.

At this moment, Shui Ruo and Xiao Wan also noticed Fang Shaolin's strangeness and looked at him in surprise.

Fang Shaolin remained motionless, dumbfounded.

Xiao Xuan glanced at his two senior sisters, puzzled, "Is this kid possessed? Why are his eyes so blank?"

Shui Ruo waved her hand in front of him and called out, "Hey, are you alright?"

Xiao Wan also looked at him worriedly and said, "Shao Lin, are you feeling nauseous?"

But Fang Shao Lin seemed not to hear her, only holding the wine jar and staring blankly at the already pale window, as if he had turned into a stone statue.

Xiao Xuan frowned deeply, leaned close to him and suddenly shouted, "What the hell are you doing! Can't drink anymore? Then admit defeat!"

Fang Shao Lin seemed to wake up from a dream, but his expression was extremely calm and resolute. He put down the wine jar, slowly stood up, straightened his clothes, and suddenly bowed deeply to Xiao Xuan, saying loudly, "I have learned my lesson!"

Xiao Xuan was completely confused, wondering to herself if this kid was really possessed.

"That's enough for tonight. I'll thank you for your guidance another day!"

Fang Shaolin spoke clearly, his clothes soaked with wine, but his face was no longer flushed.

The three people in front of him stared in disbelief.

Fang Shaolin's gaze passed through them, fixed on the landscape painting on the screen, and he slowly said, "If Heaven is unjust, then we'll rebel against it!"
