On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 142: Restricted Library

Aqua took the letter in her hand. She read them. She sat down and read the letter very carefully all over again.

"Anything new," Huo'er asked her. 

She had found the key, but she has no idea where the door exactly is or how to open the door after inserting the key. She tried to read between the line. She got the sea, in the heaven where Emperor Tai took the bodies to, close to the deep sea where the Aquatic animals come to the surface and hunt for any body usually. But what under it, she couldn't understand that. 

"Maybe we need to learn new techniques, something that would open an invisible barrier or something, we will have to master new skills, but how long do we have before Tai takes any action?" Huo said. 

"You said Volca went to keep an eye on Emperor Tai, can we trust her? Ask her to delay the King by distracting him," Aqua looked at Huo. 

"We have to trust her this time, she is they block to the missing puzzle," 

"I trust you," Aqua replied to him and continued looking at characters in the letter. 

"Huo'er," Aqua suddenly called him. 

"Hmm?" He asked looking at the other set of letters Aqua handed her.

"Is the Water Palace still under watch of Tai?"

"Not the day we spent time there," Huo informed her. "There is nobody there, it's deserted, all the staff had left, there is not soul a living in there," he said it all.

Aqua sat there all shocked to know that her home has been abandoned by everyone which used to be a great shelter for hundreds of people. She shook herself out of the depressing thoughts and sat straight.

"Am afraid that we might have to go back," she shared her idea. "The best library in heaven belongs to Water Realm, my home, the collection in the restricted area is much more and unbelievable in our Realm like the Star Kingdom's secret data, Celestial Palace do not have much collection like both of ours, we have to access into it, and find the techniques if there is such a thing that exists," she was full of hope and anxiety to find the matter soon, since she kept having a feeling that Tai might take actions while they are on their preparation to make a comeback. 

"When should we leave?" Huo got up and aksed her. 

"The sooner the better," she said and got up along with him. He nodded at her. 

Huo looked for Aiden and Milan who were nowhere to be found. He informed Aqua about it. Aqua instantly sent a howling message to Milan to come back immediately to the palace and leave with her. With in half an hour and Milan came running into the doors. She panted heard. "I was just lurking around the palace looking for clues," Milan lied. 

"We are leaving," Aqua said walked towards the hallway. 

"When?" She aksed her elder sister.

"Now," Aqua said. 

"Where to?" Milan was full of doubts.

"Home," Aqua mentioned it wholeheartedly. 

"Home," it didn't click Milan first. "Home, our home? Water Palace?" Milan instantly got excited and followed her sister. Aiden walked into the room by then. Aqua extended her arms and asked the others to keep their hands on hers. She checked the table to see if the apology letter and the thanking letter she wrote for King Zidan and Prince Leo still there. And she apparated back to the palace, straight into the court room. She felt her energy level dropping a little. Huo scolded her for that, for not letting him do it. Aqua smiled and looked around the court. That smiled faded from her lips instantly. Her heart froze seeing the lifeless palace. The last time she was at the court room was when shifu asked her father's permission to take her away to the moutians for training, an act to keep her distracted which she found out very lately. 

"I didn't know either," Huo told her until I came here to meet Aiden. 

"Everything was meant to happen for us to grow strong, let's look at it that way, none of us are the same now, we have grown strong and wild, we grew up amidst of the fact that we had lived for thousands of years. But we grew up only now. Not even when we died but now, when other people died for us, in front of us,"

Yes and it indeed was different for Huo and Aqua. Dying for one another did not scare them, to die before the death of people you care the most. 

Milan took her sister to her room she had cleaned recently. "Did you find the clue?" She aksed her sister.

"Yes, but we will need to learn something," Aqua informed her.

"Restricted section of library?" Milan asked instantly and Aqua nodded to it.

"But we swore that we would never do this," 

"We swore to live together forever, what happened to it?" Aqua asked back. "We swear things on the daily basis, but if we don't live according to the situation we are put through, how will we survive? To that Milan had nothing to say. "Quickly, we have to do it quickly, I am banished from heaven," she said. "Staying here long will alert other realms. 

"We shall escape to the Demon Realm then," Milan found an idea and led her sister towards the library block. One of the tallest building that was in the Water Realm. And this building has five floors where upper two floors are restricted. Aiden and Huo were trying to open the doors whole Milan and Aqua reached the place together. 

The moment the doors opened, Aqua rushed inside. She didn't stand to notice the fact that the library looks neat and well maintained. The library had lights on. But she ran upstairs to the 4th floor. She looked through the library's historic books carefully and safely and asked Milan, Aiden and Huo'er to find the books she called out the names off. Most of the books were on ancient myth, Vedic, astronomy and floors of baruous heavenly techniques, and magic spells that are prohibited to perform in classes. But the ones she wanted to find on the secret realm and their techniques couldn't be found. 

"I know how smart you are to think of something that doesn't strike anyone easily," a Male voice spoke to her. She looked behind her. An old man standing, holding the books in his hand. Book she is searching for. 'Noway,' she thought.

"Shifu Bo Hai, what a surprise!" She exclaimed. She looked around for a moment. "No wonder the place looks exceptionally well and neat," she smirked. Huo ran upstairs the moment he heard shifu's voice. 

"Shifu what are you doing here?" He asked Master Bo Hai.

"Hello there son, how are you?" Master Bo Hai said greeted his foster son. 

"Why were you living here?" He asked his shifu.

"Why can I no? A palace must always be watched! It has treasures that should not go to the wrong hands, after all, Water Realm is my home too," he said. 

"Did our father ask you to do this too?" Milan asked Master Bo Hai angrily. She was still pissed at the fact that shifu planned things and separated her and Aiden from the family locking themselves up in the woods for a year. 

"Aniyo, he did not, am doing this under my own interests and safeguards," Milan smirked as she heard this. 

"Milan, relax and behave," Aqua warned her sister. Milan stepped back listening to this. Aqua extended her arms asking for the books shifu has been holding on to. "Why don't you give me that shifu, after all are we not working together driving towards the same goal?" 

"Are we my dear?" Shifu asked her back, raising his brows. Huo'er looked at his master, his foster father doubtfully, 'what the hell does he mean?' He wondered. 

"I guess now I know what kind of Water Realm you belong to," Aqua said. She took a step forward. Aqua closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Hand me that shifu, we are running out of time," she said calmly. 

"Give it to us," Huo'er backed her.

"A demon need not interfere with this," Shifu said. 

Aqua and Huo looked at each other and threw a punch together at shifu.

"Master Bo Hai knows how to treat his foster son, and his best student, unlike you," Huo said. "You are nothing but a shape shifting cyclops," the man standing in front of them fell on his back with a loud thud. And suddenly he replicated into ten other figures and started fighting together. 

"Find the real one and attack it, the other will follow, the eye of the original were green in color, fond the right one," Aqua instructed others and started fighting. They were careful enough to not use the weapon. The fight went on for several minutes and Milan screamed from one corner of the library in the second floor holding the original cyclops. 

"Come fast I cant hold him," Milan struggled to keep him under her strength. "He is incredibly strong, come fast," 

All the three rushed towards her, to assist her.

Huo took out the rope he had with him and tied around the legs and arms of the cyclops immediately. "I have an idea," he said. "Why don't we try it?" Huo asked.

"Am in man," Aiden said flashing a mischievous smile wiping his hands.

"Me too," Milan said panting a little. And everybody looked at Aqua.

"We know what to do now," she said, took the books from his hands and tapped the heads if cyclops looking into his eyes carefully. "Shall we play a game?" She aksed the cyclops. But cyclops couldn't say word with his mouth stuffed with a white piece of cloth. He moved vigorously. "I will take that as yes young boy," she said and smiled at him. She nodded at Huo.
