It's morning, to be exact 9:34 AM, Wao Zu-Sheng just woke up. He slowly looks up, and sees Fa-Ya standing by his bed. She is his disciple, training to become a heavenly daoist after he dies. "Hello your highness, would you like to eat something?" Wao Zu-Sheng his stomach rumbles, "that would be delightful Fa-Ya." Fa-Ya runs out of the chamber, and within a few seconds she comes back. "Hello your highness, the kitchen has made a special porridge for you. Tho, we have not poison tested. Would you like me to test it?" Fa-Ya said. "That is not needed Fa-Ya, you are my disciple. If something where to happen to you, I would not know what to do." Wao-Zu-Sheng said. He picked up the spoon, and put some porridge on it. "So, how's your fiancé doing?" Wao-Zu-Sheng asked. "About that..." Fa-Ya started crying. "He has the crimson flower disease, so I'm not allowed to be with him anymore... and he's going to die soon.." Wao Zu-Sheng was just about to eat some porridge, when he stopped in his tracks. "Oh.. I'm.. I'm sorry for you Fa-Ya.." he could see the tears fall from her face, but he couldn't even say something because out of nowhere he felt very faint and started coughing. *cough* *cough* "Fa-Ya, could you get me some water?" Wao Zu-Sheng said, while blood fell from his mouth. Fa-Ya ran to the kitchen, but she came back with something else than water... "I am sorry your highness, but this is the only way for my fiancé to survive.. you understand, right?" There was silence. *she betrayed me?* Wao Zu-Sheng thought while trembling from the poison. Slowly, but surely Fa-Ya started carving his skin out for his heart. When she was almost there, an unknown force stopped her. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" It was the daoist, one class under the heavenly daoist. Guards ran in the chamber, and Fa-Ya was carried away. The doctors ran in and did everything in their power to save the heavenly daoist. Luckily, they saved Wao Zu-Sheng.

~10 DAYS LATER~

Wao Zu-Sheng woke up. "F-Fa-Ya?" He said, while trembling. The nurse screamed as loud as she can when she saw that the heavenly daoist woke up. Wao Zu-Sheng sat up, and asked "what happened?" The nurse hastily said: "your disciple Fa-Ya had poisoned you to carve your heart out to save her fiancé from the crimson flower disease, but luckily we where on time and able to save you.." Wao Zu-Sheng started to cry a bit, he couldn't believe it. His disciple, who has been with him for 10 years... just betrayed him like that.
"What is going to happen to her now?" He said in a sort of calm tone. "She will be executed in a month, so if you want you can still have a talk to her?" The nurse said, while calling someone over for help. "I would like that, yes.." 3 days later Wao Zu-Sheng got released from the hospital in the church, and he went to the prison cells. "Hello, could I see miss Fa-Ya please?" He asked the guard. "Ar ye sur? She tried to kill ya 13 dayz agoh" Wao Zu-Sheng knew that this wasn't smart, but he came to see her for one last time. "Yes please." He said. "Okey dokey, if ya sey suh, fullow meh." The guard said. The guard escorted Wao Zu-Sheng to the cell of Fa-Ya, and sat in the chair next to her cell. "Go in if ye like, but eh.. she's Been doin some weird stuff in there, better keep an eye out!" Wao Zu-Sheng opened the prison cell door, and closed it behind him. Not knowing what a great danger he just entered. "Fa-Ya.. I wish to speak with you one last time please.." he saw her sitting in a corner, with blood on the floor with some weird symbol drawn in her own blood. "Alright.. please come sit right in front of me, then we can talk. Otherwise you can leave." Knowing how bad Wao Zu-Sheng wanted to talk to her one last time, she made him fall right into her trap. He sat down, and asked: "May I ask you what this symbol is?" Fa-Ya muttered some words and then said, "it's for you." Confused Wao Zu-Sheng asked: "I am sorry I don't under-" before he could finish Fa-Ya cut a piece of his hair of, and laid it in the middle of the symbol. She said some weird words, and started talking in Hebrew. A flashing light came from the symbol as Fa-Ya has finished, Wao Zu-Sheng blinded by the lights, ran out of the prison cell. The guard, who saw him running out of the cell after a flashing light.. ran in, but.. he did not come out.. "Fa-Ya, what did you do!?" He said, while rubbing his eyes. "Just some revenge... also that guard, he's dead now. It became silent, the only thing they heard was some whispers of the wind outside. Wao Zu-Sheng slowly walked in again, to confirm what she said. And surely, the guard was lying on the floor with a knife through his heart. Wao Zu-Sheng almost threw up, when he felt a demonic presence behind him. "Hello!" Some demonic voice said. Now Wao Zu-Sheng knew what she did, she summoned a demon and put a curse on him. Slowly he turned his head around, to see a slightly handsome man with red eyes and long black hair, standing right behind him. Startled he fell on the floor looking for a wall to lean back on. "I am going to die anyway, selling my soul to curse you isn't that bad!" Fa-Ya fell on the floor, right next to the guard. "Tell my fiancé that we will meet in the afterlife.. will ya?" And with that said, she died. While the demon still standing right behind him, he couldn't help but cry. His disciple who he has known for 10 years, just died and cursed him. He couldn't believe it, he even tried slapping himself to check if it wasn't just all a dream. "Hey you em... good?" The demonic voice said. Wao Zu-Sheng turned around, and looked at the demon. "So.. what did she curse me with?" He said, calmly. "Slowly a flower will grow on your back, when it has reached all the way to your head you will die a super painful death. Also every time the flower grows, you will have alot of pain." The demon said, while smiling. "So, how long do I have to live?" Wao Zu-Sheng said. "Hmmm, I think around a year!" So he only had one year to find a new disciple.. great... "but don't worry! You won't be lonely, I will be with you constantly! To collect your soul once you die, since I'm also the grim reaper." He said while still putting on a happy show. They walked to the heavenly daoist chamber, and Wao Zu-Sheng jumped on the bed. "Do you also need to sleep?" A bit shocked, the demon said: "no.. but it will replenish my strength a bit when I don't have any souls..." Wao Zu-Sheng muttered something on the bed, but the demon couldn't hear what he said. "What's your name, demon." Wao Zu-Sheng said. Not in a rude tone, but in a soft gentle tone.. "my name is Xiao-feng, human."
But he said it in a rude, demonic tone. Of course what could you expect from a literal demon. They started chatting and before they knew it, it was evening. Wao Zu-Sheng wanted to be kind to the demon, so he offered him to sleep in his chamber. "You allow me to sleep with you?" Xiao-Feng asked. "Yes, you're also just a huma- I mean demon. It doesn't mean I can't be kind to you." Wao Zu-Sheng asked. He gave Xiao-Feng some clothes to sleep in and he went into the bathroom to have a bath, meanwhile Xiao-Feng dressed himself. Wao Zu-Sheng walked out of the bathroom but he couldn't find Xiao-Feng. "Xiao-Feng, where are you?" He asked. "I am in the other bathroom, since you where occupying the main one.." Xiao-Feng walked out the bathroom, with a steaming hot body. "Put some clothes on will you?" Wao Zu-Sheng said. "Are you disturbed by my body?" Xiao-Feng said, in a flirty way. "Oh please, don't flatter yourself you demon." Wao Zu-Sheng threw the clothes on the bed to Xiao-Feng, he was blushing a little of embarrassment. Some time later, after they were all ready to go to sleep... Wao Zu-Sheng felt an excruciating pain from his back, he collapsed and started to gasp for air. Meanwhile, Xiao-Feng was sitting on the bed, waiting for his pain to be over. Since normally, the pain would be gone in around 5 minutes. But 5 minutes turned into 30 minutes, and 30 minutes turned into a hour, and so on. This has never happened before in his 500 years of curses. He walked to Wao Zu-Sheng, who was already crying from the pain, picked him up and laid him on the bed. Not knowing what to do, he summoned his assistant... "Bai-Xu, this kid who got cursed by some girl, has been having the pain for over an hour... normally it's over in 5 minutes or less, what is happening?" Bai-Xu started examining Wao Zu-Sheng, "is he something heavenly? Like a heavenly Daoist?" Xiao-Feng thought for a second and answered, "yes! He's an heavenly daoist, what does that have to do with this tho?" Bai-Xu grabbed something out of his bag, and said: "because when heavenly people get cursed, the gods will think they have done something very wrong. Then, the gods will make the curse last longer and also the pain. So the duration can last for a lot of days actually.." Wao Zu-Sheng got shocked a little, "but, Is there any way to make the pain go?" Bai-Xu stopped for a moment. "Yes... there is but, since you, your highness, of course wouldn't want to touch a human.. there isn't any other ch-" Xiao-Feng yelled: "WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO? ANYTHING!" He did not know where these emotions were coming from, and he did not like them. But his heart was the only thing he could listen to now. "You just need to calm him down and use your demonic powers a bit..." Bai-Xu was surprised about how desperate Xiao-Feng was to make Wao Zu-Sheng his suffering to go away. "Okay, you may leave now." Hastily Xiao-Feng ran to the bed, but when he stood in front of the bed... "DAMN!" Xiao-feng screamed...
