The Sword of Somplak
Snake Demon

The diamond snorted softly with a blunt expression. He thinks everything Ucup says is just about scaring him. After all, he was already used to hearing strange Ucup words. Likewise with Jane who began to understand the strange words thrown Ucup. 

Ucup then glanced at Bing Shi and the three cute monsters, he then said, “Bing Shi, Hong, Lan, and Huang, he said, send us a sign of our arrival in this city so that Feng Ying can find us.”

“Good, Your Majesty,” said Bing Shi who immediately rushed away.

Afterwards, Ucup glanced back at the two girls and said, “Position yourself like a royal queen!”

Ucup turned his body and pushed the tightly closed wooden door. When Ucup stepped inside the inn, all eyes stared at him cynically, as a stranger who had just arrived in this city filled with mystical aura. But Ucup didn't let that stop him. With a confident move, he waved like a king visiting his people in person.

“My pale people!” he cried out in a loud voice, “thank you for welcoming us so coldly …. I came from the opposite continent with the two queens just to enjoy the famous spicy seblak in this city.”

Ucup smiled widely while rubbing his slippery chin. Cynically the gazes of everyone utilized Ucup by scanning the strength of everyone who was staring at him. Ucup is flabbergasted to discover that everyone is just a soulless body.

“Who owns this place?” ucup asked as he turned his gaze to look at one by one the people who stood looking at him.

No one answered him with a word, they all answered him with a cynical hiss and a hateful gaze burning. The atmosphere seemed so tense, but before long, there was an echoing sound of applause. A beautiful woman in a red dress whose body was so plump stepped from a distance.

Her graceful steps attracted everyone's attention as she approached Ucup, displaying a smile etched from her red lips that captivated anyone who looked at her.

"Welcome, Mr. Handsome and his two mistresses who are quite beautiful but look can not satisfy," he said while seducing with a seductive sweet tone. "I am the owner of this inn, and I am honored to serve you, Mr. Handsome." His gaze was so alluring, as if hypnotizing Ucup with an inescapable charm.

The innkeeper continued to seduce Ucup by nibbling on his thin lips. Ucup calmly looked at her, then with a smile full of charm himself, he said, "Thank you for the Madam's exciting offer and looks already down the machine ….I must remind Madam that I am a man who owns a big monster that is very liked by women, but unfortunately not all women can feel the might of my monster.”

Ucup glanced at something that poked from behind his pants, to make the innkeeper's eyes follow the young man's gaze.

“Damn it, the monster is so big ..., ah, I can't bear to hold it!” muttered the innkeeper who was unceasingly swallowing his saliva; his two eyes continued to pay attention to the shape of the monster hidden behind the cloth.

“Is there an empty room for the three of us?” tanya Ucup, “we three want to take a warm bath together in one big bucket.”

It sounded like a joke, but Ucup's facial expression showed that he was actually talking seriously. 

The innkeeper, with a pushy look and a seductive smile said, “I will give you a special room, but the price is not cheap ..”.

“Tell me, Mistress!” quick Ucup word.

“Five gold coins,” said the innkeeper. “Before I give you the key, may I know you?”

“Lumayan is expensive for the rental price of a room, but I hope the room that Madam offers can be worth the price ..., and for my name, Madam can call me ‘Lord Ucup’.”

“Your name is unique and sounds adorable, Lord Ucup,” timpal the innkeeper then close his body and whisper, “after you are done with your two mistresses, come to my room!”

Ucup grinned and nodded. The innkeeper then ordered his subordinates to escort Ucup and the two girls to the room upstairs.

“You clean yourself and then rest! I will go down to find information about this city,” Ucup told the two.

“Long!” hardik Berlian, “just say if Brother wants to show off the fish to Madam inn owner.”

“Just relax, Honey, this fish is just testing the clarity of the pool water.”

“Sucks!”  The diamond pursed his lips.

Ucup instantly covered the room with a protective array then came out leaving the two.

Walking in the corridor of the inn, Ucup was awaited by the innkeeper who raised his feet on the wall of the room to look white skin and very thrilling feet.

“Quick, Honey!” said the innkeeper with a seductive look.

“You brat who made my blood rustle fast,” hiss the innkeeper while gently stroking the monster Ucup.

“What Madam likes it?” ask Ucup.

“I really like it, but don't call me ‘Nyonya’. Believe it or not, I am still a gentle and kind girl. So, just call me ‘Bella’,” protest the madam by mentioning the name.

“I will call you by the name of ‘Pai Su Chen’ because you are a snake demon.” 

Suddenly, Ucup's hand strangled the mistress' neck so hard that it made the woman's true form visible on its own. From his form, he was a fire snake demon with a long body, entwined in a circle filling the room space. 

His body shimmered in the dim light of the blazing flames, creating red shadows that wriggled on the walls of the room. His skin was scaly, and each of his scales were shiny as if given a layer of oil that reflected light. A fiery red color dominated his scales, giving him a menacing and alluring look at once.

His eyes were like two flaming red diamonds, implying intelligence and arrogance. His fire-eyed tongue wriggled out from his mouth in a swift and agile motion, as if it was always ready to devour its prey. His body was sturdy and muscular, exuding an admirable strength as a natural predator. In the form of this fire snake, the innkeeper no longer displayed his human charm; now he was a dazzling yet deadly force of nature.

Unfortunately in the presence of Ucup, he was just a snake confined in the clutches of the owner of the universe's energy.

“Tell me, why do all the inhabitants of the city become soulless beings?” adamantly Ucup asked for it.

The snake he gripped just hissed with his tongue sticking out and out of his mouth. 

“Alright, you seem to want to die in my hands.” Ucup further tightens the grip that makes both snake eyes turn white.

“Lord Ucup, release!” Prince Xiao Li Dan asked for it.

“Why should I let go?” ask Ucup, astonished.

“The smile is impossible to answer in its original form.”

“Good.” Ucup immediately released its grip.

Soon, the red snake turned back into a human form and he coughed as he held his neck.

“You ... who are you …? Why did you hurt me?” said the madam stammeringly.

“I won't answer until you answer my question earlier,” timpal Ucup with a cold look.

The snake demon returned Ucup's gaze coldly as well, trying to scan the strength he had, but he never found it. 

“This young man is not a cultivator, why is his energy flow so deadly? I almost die if he doesn't let go of his grip,” his inner murmur was full of questions.

“Quick say ..., because there is no second chance for you to be free from death!” pinta Ucup with little threat.

The demon sneered cynically in response to him. It is said or not said that it may be the end of his life. He then exerted fire energy forming a red sword surrounded by flames burning on his blade.

The wuzz!

Suddenly, the madam's body froze in ice. Ucup then flicked a finger melting the ice sheet on the madam's face. 

“The more you try to melt the ice sheet with your fire energy, the colder and thicker the ice that covers you, but letting it go will make your body freeze and then shatter into pieces. Now, enjoy your death, Miss Ella!”   

After saying so, Ucup laid his body on the soft cot of the innkeeper.

“My name is Bella not Ella. Don't call me that! Now let go of me! I'll tell you everything,” reply the madam is starting to fear for her fate.

“There is still time until sunset before your body is destroyed. So, just say it as soon as possible, Ella, uh, uh, under my umbrella!” timpal Ucup with both eyes closed, enjoying the soft wood cots covered with silk.
