Chapter 183: Prepare and Buckle up

Huo lifted his arms and performed a spell. A powerful spell that created a doom around the territory of hell. A doom that will protect and will not let a fly enter into the barrier. A doom that will instantly burn when something tries to enter and turn on the alarm and siren. A doom that can only be controlled by Huo'er. 

A magic he learned when he was young and only one in heaven and hell who knows how to perform it. A technique he mastered from the books. Living with Mater Bo Hai had benefited him a really lot. 

Huo'er alerted his guards, informed and released royal decree calling for all the guards and royal troops around hell to start training and prepare for the war with heaven, with the Mad Emperor Tai. 

"We will no longer tolerate Tai in throne, nobody is more vicious than him. Heaven and hell are two equal halves of this universe. It needs to be balanced. With Tai our lives would be affected. With him on throne, we will gain absolutely nothing," 

"Let's kill him," the movie screamed. 

"King Huo, King Huo, King Huo," everyone chanted his name like a mantra.

Everyday, Huo'er made sure he personally checked and gave training to the guards and the troops, as he could, with the assistance of Aqua. She was a great help. 

He taught them formation no one had dared to try before, unbreakable formations that cannot be penetrated easily. Ones that were used by ancients which faded over the years due to the difficulty. 

He taught them carefully and patiently.

On the mean while Aqua taught the guards new improvised Demonic cultivation sword techniques she read in the scriptures too. She led half the guards and troop while Huo'er covered other half taking their turn on teaching the lesson. Strength of the demons improved good.

Aqua was surprised to see one thing. How loyal, real and faithful the demons are, no hidden agendas and no evil motives behind their daily routines. She saw how they respected and loved their King. She was happy. She felt the difference since she grew up in heaven where people were always jealous of each, gossiping, scheming behind one's back for power and positions. But things Demons want looks entirely different. Aqua could not help but appreciate. When she got accepted with all the trust and respect she understood that demons are the people who love freely and carefree. Responsibilities did not tie them down, weigh them down, accepting new people were not a problem for them, but instead they celebrate and respect the person, the decisions he or she makes and take only good and react back instantly when it bad. Instead of collecting people and creating a team to raise a rebellion. But she did hear a lot about the buffalo Clan. Ones who were banished from the Demon mainland, ones who betrayed Demon King Dritan. When Aqua knew about it and the criminals behind hurting Huo when he was only a toddler, it angered her too. Almost killed him. If not for Master Bo Hai, Huo could have disappeared from this universe forever. And Aqua hated that thought.

The training session went on everyday from dawn to dusk. Huo and Aqua but never separated except his court hours. She was called a Demon Queen but it had a lot procedures and Coronation to go through. Hence she never meddled with politics and administration of Demons. But she was impressed to see how well Huo is doing, doing great thing with his power and having a good panel of ministers obeying him, instructing him and educating him with things he still has to learn. The trusted followers of Late King Dritan was satisfied with King Huo'er's rule too.

Everytime they take a break during training, Huo'er would take his chance to flirt with Aqua.

"Huo they will see it," she would say.

"So what?" He would ask and tease her, with his smile. Tickling her, hugging her and with stolen kisses. "Do any of you mind if an with my woman, your queen,"

"NO, YOUR HIGHNESS," They would all scream and stand with their eyes shut turning around dropping their weapons. "See my people don't mind it," he would say. But she would kill him with her alluring smile and look at him which eventually will lead to him kissing the hell out of her, taking her lips in his. 

"Okay," she would push him back. "Back to training, let's not keep them waiting," she would say and get back to work. But he would count every minute for the night to fall. To take her back and spend the night with her in the room,. Exploring every corner of her, taking her to another world and lying down beside her, watching her sleep and slowly drift off to sleep, and wake up in the morning and see her with a smile on his face. He wanted nothing more than to be with her. He wanted to propose to her. He wanted to marry and make her his. He wished to have children with her and have a big family. He wished to grow old with her and die in her arms. He could not stop wishing that he wanted to shower her with love all the time. He made sure that she lived better than she did back in heaven. And one day he invited King Aenon over to discuss the war plans.

"King Huo, hope you are well and good," King Aenon greeted him.

"Very good, you must be too," King Huo greeted back.

They walked into the King's chamber. There was apparently another chamber he saw next to Huo'er's. "This is?" Water King asked. 

"That's Aqua's chamber," King Huo said and led him into the room. For the first time ever, King Aenon saw his daughter doing something she never was allowed to do. 

Aqua facing the long window, sitting with a canvas before her where she was drawn a beautiful painting of what appeared to be Water Realm in the middle of sea. Aenon's eyes filled with tears instantly. It was the first time he had ever seen his daughter relax. He looked at Demon King who stood proudly, smiling at what he was watching. He looked extremely pleasant the moment he set his eyes on Aqua.

King Aenon walked and looked at all the luxury Huo'er has given her more than he gave his daughter at the time she was a crown princess. 

"Aqua," father called his daughter. Aqua turned back and ran to him instantly, hugging him. She was wearing a black gown with silver dragon embroidered everywhere, indicating the shenlong. They spent sometime whole Demon King left to give then privacy. An hour later, King Aenon walked back to Huo'er's chamber. Demon king was already waiting for him.

"We need to talk," he said the moment King Aenon walked in. He turned all serious. King Aenon grew tensed.
