In the white snow, a child dressed in rags and dirty clothes looked at the world with a pair of huge frostbites that were red from the cold. His skin was peeling off and he even had huge frostbites. He was looking at the world with his clear but confused eyes, revealing an innocent and cute smile.
Even though this child's teeth were so yellow that he didn't even have any front teeth, from the moment he opened his mouth to smile, even his extremely ugly tongue that was stained with something unknown was revealed. However, the Skyfall Demon King, Heavenly Demon King, and Heaven Slayer Demon King, who were watching him, did not pay any attention to that at all.
Logically speaking, the three demons who had become vicious and merciless, or even heartless, would not have feelings. However, at this moment, their gazes became slightly different. What they paid attention to was not the child's extremely ugly face, but his pure and flawless smile that did not seem to be tainted by the world at all.
That smile was so pure, so clean, and so innocent. It was not difficult to tell from the child's appearance that he was a beggar, a beggar who was only about four or five years old. His attire, and the fact that he was walking barefoot in this world of snowflakes, showed how difficult his life was.
Children of four or five years old relied on the protection of their parents and grew up happily and carefreely. However, he had no one to rely on. As he looked around, the world was silent. In this incomparably cold world, there was no sign of life at all. It was as if he was alone. This world of white snow fluttering and silence was just like a fairytale world. However, it was cruel to this child. However, even though his stomach was rumbling with hunger, even though his entire body was in pain from frostbite, even though he was bone-chilled … he still smiled. In such a hopeless situation, he actually smiled.
The hearts of the three Demon Kings were instantly shaken. They did not know how many tragedies they had seen, nor did they know how many they had created. As the saying goes, when things reach an extreme, they will move in the opposite direction. For existences like them who had already fallen into darkness, what they needed the most was the purest warmth. This child's smile was the purest, cleanest, and most heartwarming smile in the world.
"He, this young man, is this how he grew up?"
Even the Heaven Slayer Demon King, whose mind was only filled with thoughts of battle and slaughter, looked at the Fallen Sky Demon King's Soul Searching Technique and recalled Rui's childhood from the depths of his memories. His voice unconsciously contained a trace of shock, and even trembled.
"Keep watching!"
The female Demon King Desire Heavens didn't say anything. She remained silent, but her eyes shone with a kind of radiance that had only appeared in her for an unknown period of time. On the other hand, the Skyfall Demon King was expressionless as he increased the speed of his memory.
It was a small house made of simple wood. It was very simple and crude. The furnishings inside were also very old, but they were neatly arranged. Everything was clean and spotless. Under a thin and patched quilt, the child who was walking alone in the snowy night had already been washed clean and was lying on the bed. Beside the bed, an elderly woman was holding a bowl of soup and feeding the child spoonful by spoonful of hot porridge. On the other side, beside the stove, a stooped old man and a little girl with braided hair were warming themselves and twisting hemp rope. This was the source of their family's livelihood.
The child grew up day by day. Although he was not very handsome, he was very resolute and had boundless strength. With his help, the life of the old couple, who had taken him in and saved his life, gradually improved.
This year, the young man was 16 years old. When he was chopping firewood in the mountains, he was attracted by a snow rabbit. He thought of the little sister who had grown up with him, the girl he loved. Because it was her birthday, he was so diligent in chopping firewood to sell and buy her a present. The snow rabbit was very cute, and its fur and meat were excellent products. Whether it was used as a pet or as an ingredient, it was the best. If he could catch it, then he could buy the hairpin that the little girl always wanted.
He followed the snow rabbit. Although he had boundless strength and was as agile as a leopard, the snow rabbit was even more cunning. Unknowingly, he had already chased it deep into the mountains, the mountains where he was told there were powerful magical beasts. That night, he got lost. No matter how he searched, he could not find the way out of the mountains. He was very talented and was not hurt in the mountains where wild beasts ran rampant.
He killed and ate a giant python that ambushed him. He found a tree hole to rest. However, in the middle of the night, the sound of an abnormally intense battle woke him up. When he went out, he immediately saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life. A few legendary immortals were fighting, and the colorful energy battle dazzled him.
"Too slow!"
Traces of cold sweat appeared on the Skyfall Demon King's forehead. Soul-Searching was not difficult, but it consumed a lot of his energy and vitality. Moreover, it was a hundred times harder to reveal the memories of the person being soul-searched. Even he, the Skyfall Demon King, could not bear it.
"Let me do it!"
Heaven Killer Demon King took over the Skyfall Demon King's position and continued to perform the Soul-Searching Technique.
"Only reveal the important memories of this kid …"
Demon King Desire Heaven said with a frown. However, after saying that, he realized that the memories that warmed his childhood were the important memories of this kid. These memories were something that this kid could not throw away, but to them, they were very boring.
"Reveal the memories that have the deepest viciousness. There's no need to look at the rest. I believe that this kid will not be able to hide anything from the Soul-Searching Technique. This Prince is really very interested in what it is that could make such a kind person smile even in such a hopeless situation. What exactly is it that made him become like this? "
Demon King Desire Heaven used his index finger to gently wipe his red lips, revealing an enchanting but cold smile.
"Evil creature, Sect Leader Wang did not care that you were a half-human, half-demon monster and treated you sincerely. He took you in as his disciple and treated you as his own son. He taught you everything he knew. You beast, for the sake of the Sect Leader's position, you've lost your mind. If I don't kill you today, how can I face Senior Brother Sect Leader? If you still have a bit of conscience, follow me back to the Sect Leader's memorial tablet and kill yourself to atone for your sins! "
