Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

Yu Xiaobai turned her head and saw a pretty girl walking towards her.

I saw her carrying a sandbag, but walking forward with light steps, not at all like she was so heavy.

"Let me help you!" A pleasant voice came from above.

Yu Xiaobai raised his head and saw a young man with a handsome appearance and a gentle and restrained temperament.

The young man was looking at her with a smile on his face. He stretched out his hand, wanting to help Yu Xiaobai stand up.

"Hurry up and reach out your hand, do you want to watch me lose?" A voice suddenly sounded in his heart, and Yu Xiaobai was shocked.

"Are you Zi Yan?" she asked her in her heart.

I never thought that when the two halves of their souls were combined, they could actually communicate like this.

"Who else do you think you are? This is my body, you stupid dog." Zi Yan cursed with disgust.

"What? How dare you call me a stupid dog? I won't leave." When Yu Xiaobai heard Zi Yan calling her a stupid dog, she didn't care that a handsome man was looking at her, and she just lay on the ground with her arms and legs spread out, closing her eyes and resting.

"Get up, stupid dog, get up quickly. If you don't get up, believe it or not, I will beat you up." Zi Yan called out anxiously, pretending to hit Yu Xiaobai.

"Beat it, beat it! You have to beat it hard, beat it harshly. It's not my body anyway. You'd better beat this body to pieces and break it. Hahahaha..." Yu Xiaobai laughed when he thought of this.

"Xue'er, please, this is very important to me. Now half of my soul is trapped in your body, and it is too difficult to get out in this lifetime. Unless we also know magic, we can only work hard to be selected, so that we can have the opportunity to practice immortal magic and have a chance to change it back."

Seeing that the hard method didn't work, Zi Yan tried the soft method, and she seemed unable to control her body.

"Girl? Aren't you going to get up?" The man looked at Yu Xiaobai in confusion and asked again.

"I won't leave, I won't leave, I'm a stupid dog and I don't want to leave..." Yu Xiaobai sang complacently as if he was deliberately trying to anger Zi Yan.

"Xue'er, I was wrong, please, you are not a stupid dog, you are the smartest dog. You are smart, cute and kind. Wuuuu, Xue'er, please." Zi Yan changed her method and continued to beg.

Yu Xiaobai pretended to be indifferent and hummed with his eyes closed!

"It's quite interesting. How can a girl call herself a stupid dog?" Seeing that there was no one around, the man leaned gently next to Yu Xiaobai and sat down on the snow.

"Eh? Aren't you in a hurry to leave?" Yu Xiaobai opened his eyes and saw him sitting next to him, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Is this really an era full of handsome men, or are there so many handsome men in the world of immortal cultivation? First it was Lan Moqiu, then Jin Xuan, and now there is another one.

It seems that I saw a lot of handsome guys during the preliminary selection that day. The eldest senior brother was handsome, senior brother Yunqing was also handsome, and even the younger brother was good-looking.

"Little brother, you are so handsome!" Yu Xiaobai looked at the man and praised him shamelessly.

"..." The man said nothing, a blush rising on his cheeks.

It was his first time to travel far away, and he came here to pick up something at the request of his master. He met many women along the way, all of whom were reserved, shy or domineering, except Yu Xiaobai.

As a maid, she bravely sought to learn from the head master, and was also covered with colorful rays of light after being tested by the magic mirror.

But with such a rare opportunity, she just lay down in the snow and stopped moving forward. It was because of her strange behavior that the man couldn't help but stop for her.

"My name is Helan Ruofeng, and I'm from the East. Your name is Zi Yan, right?" Helan Ruofeng introduced while looking at Yu Xiaobai carefully.

His eyes swept across her face unscrupulously, and his mind recalled the expression on her face when she knelt down to beg the leader that day.

"Well, I guess so!" Yu Xiaobai opened his eyes lazily and looked back and forth on his face.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Helan Ruofeng asked her with a smile on his face.

"I'm imitating you! You can look at me so unscrupulously, why can't I look at you?" Yu Xiaobai rolled his eyes speechlessly and explained.

"Xue'er, please stop talking. If you continue we won't be able to reach the top of the mountain. Please." Seeing that Yu Xiaobai had completely given up, Zi Yan begged her even more anxiously.

"Hmm? Do you think I'm stupid? If I get back, I'll continue to be a dog. Now I'm a human being, and a pretty girl at that. Although I'm a maid, as long as I work hard to cultivate and strive to be the best, I can definitely be reborn and stand out."

Yu Xiaobai continued to be angry with Zi Yan. She could not forget that this bad girl made her take the blame.

"Ah... You actually want to occupy my body? Now that our souls are separated, we are both incomplete. Don't you want to be a complete person?" Zi Yan continued to find reasons to persuade Yu Xiaobai.

"Oh, that's true. After all, I don't have such a despicable and shameless character as yours. But... you beg me?" Yu Xiaobai continued to tease her.

"Didn't I beg you already? Several times? I'm begging you again now, please, please, please. Xue'er, you are the best dog in the world!" Zi Yan continued to beg helplessly.

"Okay, since you are so pious, I will help you pass the level with reluctance, but I can't guarantee that I can get first place."

Yu Xiaobai thought that it was no use going on like this. It was icy and snowy here, and if she didn't get up, she would surely freeze to death within the night.

"Have you thought it through? Do you want to get up and keep walking?" Helan Ruofeng asked Yu Xiaobai again, and his hand reached out to where Yu Xiaobai could reach.

The slender fingers are very beautiful, and calluses can be seen on the palms from bottom to top, which seem to be formed by holding the sword for a long time.

"Have you thought about it? Since you are so kind, I will reluctantly accompany you!" Yu Xiaobai shamelessly handed his hand to Helan Ruofeng.

"Hold on tight..."

Helan Ruofeng exerted force and Yu Xiaobai was pulled up from the ground.

The weight on her body almost made her fall again, so she reached out to grab Helan Ruofeng's clothes with her free hand.

"It was a close call. If you had fallen down and couldn't get up, we would both be dead." After standing firm, Yu Xiaobai said thankfully.

"What does 'liangliang' mean?" Helan Ruofeng asked ignorantly.

"Ah...hahahaha, what does liangliang mean?"

"Liangliang" can be understood as failed, finished, terrible, in short, it is a very bad word, but how should I explain it to him?

"Let's get on with our journey. Anyway, thank you for pulling me up. I'll explain to you what Liangliang means later." Yu Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and continued to walk forward with difficulty.

When she first climbed the mountain, she was a lively dog, but now she has become a human being carrying an unknown number of kilograms, climbing laboriously.

"Okay, I'll accompany you." Helan Ruofeng did not rush forward, but slowly matched Yu Xiaobai's speed.

During this process, Yu Xiaobai was breathing heavily. She didn't expect that Zi Yan had such poor physical strength.

Zi Yan told her in her heart that when she was young, she didn't have enough food or warm clothes, and she didn't have any farm work to do. Later, she was half starved to death, and sold herself as a slave to do some manual work. It was normal that she had never done heavy work and had poor physical strength.

Yu Xiaobai secretly refuted her, saying that she had never done any heavy work, and she had been spoiled since she was a child, with nothing to lose and clothes to wear. She was not that weak.

Zi Yan wanted to say that she was just a dog that didn't need to work, but she was afraid of angering her and causing her to lie on the ground and refuse to move, so she endured it.

"Hey, it seems that we are the only two who reached the top in the end." Helan Ruofeng said calmly.

He was in excellent physical condition, and the weight on his body was of no use to him. His back was straight, and he was still as handsome as ever, without even a drop of sweat.

Compared to him, Yu Xiaobai's hair was soaked with sweat. She was panting, and big beads of sweat were dripping down her cheeks and chin.

"It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others. Why don't I have as good physical strength as him? If it weren't for that bad girl Zi Yan, I wouldn't have to suffer this." Yu Xiaobai complained in his heart and glanced at Helan Ruofeng with jealous eyes.

Thirty-five of the thirty-seven people have arrived at the top of Danxia Peak. As the sun is about to set, only two people are left. One of them is Zi Yan, who is possessed by Yu Xiaobai and is also one of the people with the highest expectations among this batch of disciples.

"Xue'er, try harder, please." Zi Yan was so anxious that she was about to collapse. Was she going to lose this opportunity that she had finally gotten to this stupid dog?

"That's easy to say. Why don't you try harder? This is your body." Yu Xiaobai retorted in annoyance. She felt that this body was completely exhausted, and it was all her willpower that was controlling the puppet to move forward.

"I also want to control it, but I can't do it!" Zi Yan was also very distressed. The eldest lady's method made it impossible for her half of the soul to control her body.

Judging from Xue'er's physical performance that day, Sa Yulong should have let Yu Xiaobai control Zi Yan's body, and let Zi Yan control Yu Xiaobai's body.

If these two were exchanged, no matter how smart Ren Zi Yan was, she would just be a dog.

But Yu Xiaobai is still the soul of a dog. Even if she has a human body, it is impossible for her, a beast, to learn how to control it in a short time.

What she never expected was that hidden in Xue'er's body was a complete human soul.

Of course, this is Yu Xiaobai’s personal secret. She will neither tell Zi Yan nor anyone else. It would be better for everyone to misunderstand that she is a smart dog.

"Here they come, they are both here." It was a very excited voice.

The first level's rule is that anyone who fails to reach the top before sunset will be considered a failure. However, at the last moment, Helan Ruofeng miraculously appears in everyone's sight with Yu Xiaobai.

"Dad, the sun has set. They failed to pass the level!" Sa Yulong pointed at the sun with the last ray of light left.

"No, they did pass the test as long as there was a ray of light. Moreover, their performance in this test was better than that of others." Sa Hurricane looked at the exhausted Yu Xiaobai and the still clear and bright Helan Ruofeng with satisfaction.

"They were the last two to arrive, so why are they better than us?" Ling Xuewei, who arrived first, asked in confusion with a frown.

She was Ling Yuwei, the beautiful woman who made fun of Yu Xiaobai on the way.

As soon as this question was asked, the other newcomers who arrived first also questioned the leader's words.

"You are only thinking about moving forward desperately to reach the goal as soon as possible, but you have forgotten what is the original intention of your practicing immortal arts?" Lan Moqiu asked coldly as he glanced at the newcomers.

"Aren't we supposed to slay demons and defend the peace of the three realms?" one of the newcomers asked doubtfully.

"The Third Class is made up of all living beings, and Zi Yan is one of them. So many of you saw her fall to the ground and unable to get up, and you either smiled and passed by or stopped to laugh at her. Some even ignored her coldly. As a basic principle for a cultivator, don't you have any sympathy to pity a human being?" Lan Moqiu asked coldly again.

"This……"

"Aren't we all just thinking about winning the game? That's why we didn't notice her."

“Isn’t this a competition of survival of the fittest?”

“Maybe we did it wrong!”

"I was running so fast that I really didn't notice her fall. If I had seen her, I would have helped her."

At this time, because of Lan Moqiu's questioning, the newcomers said all kinds of things. Some of them really repented and seriously faced up to their indifference, while others still stubbornly believed that they were not wrong.

"Okay, the two of them have indeed passed the first level. According to the rules set by Yunji Mountain Villa, this level tests your physical strength. So no matter what mistakes you make, as long as you reach the top before sunset, you will pass."

After saying this, Sa Hun glanced at Zhou Ze beside him.

"Okay, everyone is very tired today, so take a good rest in the next two days. The second level, which is also the final level, will begin in three days. You will be divided into groups of three and sent to the secret realm of Danxia Peak for trials. At that time, it will be decided whether you can enter Yunji Villa or go home. In these two days, you can find your own team members first."

After Zhou Ze gave all the instructions, he followed Sa Hun and his group.

Only Sa Yulong turned around and looked at Zi Yan with a strange look.

When all the newcomers heard that they would form groups of three, they began to look for members to be their own team members, and started one by one to discuss and research on their own.

"Your Majesty, can I talk to His Majesty for a moment?" Xiao Yuanzi looked at Lan Moqiu with a pleading look.

He hadn't seen Jin Xuan for a few days, and he didn't know how his Majesty was doing, whether he was suffering, or whether he was uncomfortable without him around.

"Go!" Lan Moqiu didn't say anything, but just looked coldly at Jin Xuan who was determined and silent in the distance.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty you are so awesome!" Xiao Yuanzi ran to Jin Xuan and started to flatter him.

"That's right, but..."

Jin Xuan thought of abandoning Zi Yan halfway and felt guilty.

Especially after listening to what Lan Moqiu said just now, he felt even more like he was nothing. Although he won the first place, he looked down on himself a little.

"Are you feeling a little guilty? Don't worry about it. I don't blame you at all. Besides, you see I'm in good spirits now. Thank you for interceding for me and letting me participate."

Yu Xiaobai wiped the sweat from his neck with his sleeves, and thanked Jin Xuan happily.

"And you, Helan Ruofeng, thank you for pulling me up halfway and accompanying me. If you hadn't been with me, I would have given up long ago." After thanking Jin Xuan, Li Xiaobai thanked Helan Ruofeng again.

What she said was absolutely true. If this guy hadn't accompanied her all the way, she would have definitely fallen to the ground while sweating profusely. She wasn't a person with strong willpower, and cultivating immortals was Zi Yan's dream, not hers.

"You're welcome. I'm just stopping by." Helan Ruofeng smiled modestly, his eyes always sparkling as he followed Zi Yan.

"Miss Zi Yan, I shouldn't have left you alone. Don't worry, I am willing to be in the same team with you for the ultimate challenge in three days, and I will never leave you behind again." Jin Xuan said as if he had made a great decision.
