On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 62: Elixir Working

"Huo, what's going on? What are you doing?" Volca asked him as he climbed on top and watched her. He was smiling. His eyes was full of mischief.  She was aware that he is being controlled by the elixir she fed him but this was the first time he ever acted like it so she couldn't exactly make up her mind whether it was just the elixir or if it is really hik doing it. 

Huo'er moved the hair from her to the back of her. He touched her face with the back his forefinger. "Do you not want this? Do you think I don't understand your heart at all? I know why you come here and keep me company every single day," he said suddenly. It appeared that it indeed was the elixir but it looked like the real conscious had fallen asleep and the different Huo'er was working this time. He seems to have noticed her feelings and completely fell for her story about the past. 

"Do you now?" She asked him. He moved his face closer, pressing himself against her while he balanced his body weight trying not to hurt her. She started enjoying the moment wishing it lasted longer. She put her arms around him and ran her finger all the way up to his hair.  She smiled and waited for him to initiate whatever he was planning on doing to her.

The images from her dream gushed into her memory where he made love with her. Feeling him inside her. She liked the very idea of romance. She liked it. She liked him. She was greedy and wanted to make her his as soon as she could and waited for him to come over her. And it finally seemed to have happened. Volca slowly kept her hands on his chest and untied and tried to take his robe off. She could see his skin through the small openings. She felt his hard chest muscles and kept her hands there itself. She no longer felt shy about things. She didn't know she could be his brave in real. 

Huo'er reached for her lips slowly but at the same time some kicked the chamber doors open and barged in without permission. Huo got up quickly and turned around. Volca got up from the coat and corrected her clothes. 

"Don't you know how to knock before you come inside?" She shouted and looked up to see her mother standing before her, fuming with anger. Huo'er fastened his buttons and knots and corrected his hair. He stood without paying respect to Fiona. "Mother," Volca called. Fiona took a few steps towards her daughter and slapped right across her face. 

"How dare you?" She asked Volca.

"What's wrong with you?" She asked her mother after she got slapped hard. 

"Why the hell did you take him out and let others find out about his return?" To that Volca had nothing to say. "Did you think I would never know about? And were you confident? A worthless daughter who can't even make a man fall for without using..." Fiona stopped looking at Huo who was watching the two of them. "And you dare to announce the world about his return before he even gets well," 

"He is a living being, how long do you think he can survive inside the underground chamber. He was been finding ways to escape. Do you want that to happen? And panic later ? Or treat him with respect and take care of him well so that he understands our good intentions?" Volca questioned her mother. 

"Did you think I also would not find out about Lihua's visit? Do you think that us safe?" Volca was surprised to know her mother even found out about that. She wondered how her mother found it and reachhed the conclusion that the guards must have leaked all the information watching her close. "You know I cannot stand her and yet you let her come into my place and spend time," 

"She is his mother and she has all the right, you know well whe will never mean to harm but only find ways to treat him better and being him back. Besides she will never take him to heaven since you know everything.  Why do you still need me to explain such matter again and again mother. I don't understand, " Volca said feeling fed up and it was evident in her voice.

Huo suddenly knelt down, grabbing his head with both his hands. At the same time his chest hurt badly like stabbing with needles straight in his wounds. Huo'er kept his mouth shut tight from screaming out loud. He touched his head on the unleveled stone floor that scratched his forehead slightly. He clenched his fist and panted hard. It was too unbearable. 

Huo suddenly came back to his real sense. What he just did Volca came into his head. It got him angry. 'What the heck was I doing with her?' He thought breathing hard amidst of the pain. Volca ran towards him and knelt down next to him trying to hold him. But instead he pushed her away and stayed in the same position, kneeling down resting his forehead on the floor.

"Go away," he tried to say. "Don't come near me," he didn't want to cross any limits with Volca  the lady who offered to take care of him, spending her valuable time but he did not wish to misuse it. And more importantly he did not want to get together with her since he was not aware of who he really is and what his past was. He only know the stories she told him and he still has not accepted everything quite rightly. 

"Wow," Fiona said sarcastically.  "What a sincere love? Not in the right mind but still very aware to push you off," she made fun of Volca who was already worried and upset about Huo'er and what just happened to him. She was aware of how the Crystals that belongs to Aqua is what is acting up in his body as she feeds him with the love elixir she makes more and more. The Crystal tryings to resist the change in the body prohibiting him from being with any other person, since Crystals are loyal to the owners. She knew well that she is hurting him but she had no other choice than forcing him to be in love with her with diff methods  She couldn't imagine what Huo'er would do to it if her ever ends up finding about the elixir fed mixed with the congee he hated the most.

"Will you please stop and get lost," Volca gritted her teeth and stood up. "I am so done with all the shit. If not for you, nothing would have happened, he wouldn't be hurt, she wouldn't be dead, I wouldn't be living with guilt, you wouldn't be acting like a ruthless woman who has succeeded the throne with all the scheming. Are you truly happy now?" She shut her mother's mouth with question that plucked her tongue out. Are you even getting proper sleep after doing all this? After causing all the chaos? Am not, trust me you won't and I will never again too," she bet her mother. 

Huo'er was listening to everything that slipped from Volca's in anger. But he couldn't understand exactly what she meant though since he only heard them in part. His head ached, feeling like it would slip into two. He could no longer take it and let out a sound. Volca turned back not caring about her conversation with her mother the moment she heard him moan with pain. She performed a spell and the took the undissolved parts of the elixir. The moment it came out, the pain stopped in his heart as well as his head. Huo'er was panting and slowly dragged himself to stand up. Holding on to the legs of the coat, he slowly got up and collapsed on the bed. She was inhaling and exhaling in a very fast manner. His body covered in sweat. The wound that almost healed in the body bled a little with a tinge a blood smear on his clothes. 

Fiona let them be and took off from the room. She did not want to see the pathetic side of her daughter again and again. She left and Volca felt relieved in her absence.  Volca quickly undressed him while he kept trying to stop her. "What's wrong with you? Just relax and let me clean the wounds and dress them? How come you started bleeding again?" She spoke as if she knows nothing. 

"I don't know, it is happening frequently these days," he said finally giving up and let her undress him. Volca apologized to him inside her head and washed his wounds and went outside the room to get some new bandages and herbs from the Demon Doctor in the castle. 

On the meanwhile, Huo tired to recall the times he got this kind of reaction. He tired him best and came up with nothing that was similar what happened just now. He wiped his sweat and waited for her to return. 

The moment she returned, she dressed him up real quick and he pretended to fall asleep very quickly so that she leaves, feeling uncomfortable around. Fiona slapping Volca flashed across his eyes, and compared with the lady who came claiming to be his mother. 'She definitely didn't seem rough at all," he murmured while he took the books and suddenly something fell down from one of the books he carried to bed. Huo'er noticed them and leaned down to pick them up. It was a letter. And it shocked him.
