Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

She spoke somewhat sadly in the most light-hearted and humorous tone.

"Xiao Yu, take care of yourself." After listening to Yu Xiaobai's explanation, Cong Li didn't make things difficult for her.

"Xiao Yu, Ruo Feng, you must take good care of yourselves. We will visit the demon world when the time comes." Su Jin said reluctantly.

"Brother Helan, you must protect Xiaoyu well, otherwise I will look down on you!" With tears in his eyes, Cong Li raised his hand and gently hit Helan Ruofeng on the shoulder.

"I know, good brother!" Helan Ruofeng raised his hand to hit Cong Li, but seeing that she was acting like a little girl, he changed his mind and patted her shoulder gently.

"Cong Li, you and Su Jin have to learn to be smarter. You have been in the underworld for so long. Don't be unable to even roast a fish. Don't be easily fooled. Practice the magic well so that you can save your lives at the critical moment." Yu Xiaobai gave another earnest warning.

"I get it. If you want to leave, leave quickly. Otherwise, I won't be able to let you go later." Cong Li said pretending to be angry.

"Don't worry, Miss Congli. I will protect my master and Master Helan. Don't worry!" Heiduo also immediately comforted Congli.

After a reluctant farewell, the few of them separated. Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng took Hei Duo directly to the demon world, while Cong Li and Su Jin stayed directly in the Crescent Moon Imperial City, deciding to wait for Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng to deal with the matters in the demon world before coming to find them.

Not long after Lan Moqiu returned to the Priest's Mansion, Long Xiao informed him that Jin Xuan and Zi Yan were visiting.

Lan Moqiu looked at the two people sitting below him, who looked like a perfect match of talented man and beautiful woman, and felt a little sour in his heart.

"Godfather, how is Xiaoyu now?" Zi Yan asked first.

Jin Xuan was also waiting expectantly for Lan Moqiu to answer Zi Yan's question.

Lan Moqiu looked at the two of them with a lack of interest. There was not much emotion in his eyes, and he said in a depressed voice, "She is fine. She has already set off to return to the demon world today. Helan Ruofeng is also fine. He went with her."

After getting the definite answer, Zi Yan and Jin Xuan finally let go of the stone in their hearts, and the expressions on their faces became much more relaxed.

"Your Majesty, you are now the ruler of a country, and you should focus on how to govern your country. Zi Yan, although you are only a guard now, you will be the queen of a country in the future. Your mission is to assist His Majesty in governing Xinyue."

Lan Moqiu thought for a moment and said, "Yu Xiaobai is not an ordinary demon. She is the reincarnation of Feng Xi, the Lord of the Demon Realm. If the power of the demon god awakens one day, she may forget all of you. So you just need to do your own thing and don't worry too much about his affairs."

Jin Xuan and Zi Yan were frightened by Lan Moqiu's words. How could the lively and cute Yu Xiaobai be the reincarnation of the Lord of the Demon Realm? They simply couldn't believe it.

"How could an ordinary person kill the ancient snake demon by chance? How could the demon world keep lingering around her and refuse to leave?" Lan Moqiu asked again when he saw that the two of them didn't believe it at all.

"No matter who Xiaoyu is, she has never hurt me. Whether it was when we shared a body or during the months of trial as a new disciple, it can be seen that Xiaoyu is a very kind person. I believe that even Xiaoyu, the lord of the demon world, must be very kind and innocent." Zi Yan believed in Yu Xiaobai's character and said in a firm tone.

"High Priest, I also believe in Xiaoyu. She is definitely not a bad person." Jin Xuanye said with an unwavering look in his eyes.

"Well, what you said is all right. She is indeed very kind, but her future life trajectory will no longer intersect with you. Go back. If there is nothing else, don't come to this Priest's House. Besides, this is no longer the Priest's House, but the Lan House." Lan Moqiu didn't want to waste any more words, so he ordered them to leave in a cold tone.

"Your Majesty, Miss Zi Yan, my master has just returned home and is very tired. Please leave my master and have a rest!" Long Xiao said to Jin Xuan very tactfully.

Seeing this, Jin Xuan could not linger any longer, so he stood up and bowed to Lan Moqiu, saying, "Thank you, High Priest, for your selfless protection of my New Moon Nation for hundreds of years. Jin Xuan would like to express his gratitude to you."

After the first salute, Jin Xuan seemed to feel that it was not enough, so she lifted her skirt and knelt down, respectfully and properly performing a kneeling salute to Lan Moqiu.

Upon seeing this, Zi Yan immediately knelt down and followed Jin Xuan's example to kowtow to Lan Moqiu.

Since Lan Moqiu had clearly told them not to come to the Priest's House again, the only thing they could do was to obey and kneel down to thank him.

After seeing off Jin Xuan and Zi Yan, Lan Moqiu went into the basement alone again. There were some things he had to finish as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too late if he delayed any further.

Long Xiao thought that the High Priest was in seclusion and there was nothing important to do in the Lan Mansion. Just as he was preparing to take a break from his busy schedule to go out for a trip, Cong Li and Su Jin, one big and one small, arrived at the door of the High Priest's Mansion.

"Why are you here?" Long Xiao looked at the two of them and asked in confusion.

"We have nowhere to go. Can Guard Long take us in?" Su Jin walked forward and looked at Long Xiao pitifully.

Cong Li's eyes were a little evasive. She didn't want to go back to the Biluo Sea, nor did she want to go back to the Solo Secret Realm in the God Realm where no one even shit.

"Can't you go back to the God Realm?" Long Xiao looked at Su Jin suspiciously.

"No, I haven't found my Star Lord yet." Su Jin looked distressed.

"We in the Lan family don't need a few bites of food from you, but..." Long Xiao looked at Su Jin thoughtfully.

"You're not still remembering the little thing between my Star Lord and Lord Cangmo?" Su Jin looked at Long Xiao in disbelief. How could a person hold a grudge like this?

"Su Jin, why don't we stay in an inn?" Seeing that Long Xiao was unhappy, Cong Li hurriedly pulled Su Jin's hand.

"Why stay in an inn? Do you have money? I don't." Su Jin pouted and looked at Long Xiao pitifully.

"Me neither." Cong Li looked at Long Xiao with a broken face, wanting to cry but having no tears.

"Oh, come in. I'll take you in for a few days." Long Xiao was confused by the looks of these two people, as if he would be committing a heinous crime if he didn't agree to them.

Yes, one looked like a child of only eight or nine years old, and the other looked like a delicate woman who was weak and unable to take care of herself. How could he dare to refuse?

Besides, how can the wealth of the Priest's Mansion be summed up in four words: rich enough to rival a country? That is the family property accumulated by his master for tens of thousands of years. As long as his master is willing, even if he attacks the entire human world, this wealth is enough.

Since it cannot be used to conquer cities and establish achievements, it may be better to use it to do more good deeds.

In this way, Su Jin and Cong Li moved into the Lan Mansion as they wished, planning to wait here for Yu Xiaobai to return victoriously, take them to the demon world as guests, and wait for their respective masters to come.

At the same time, the demon world...

Ever since Bai Ji was defeated and fled from the demon world, the few remaining soldiers from the divine world under Bai Ji's command were also captured by the Great Elder's men and imprisoned in the Yuwu City prison.

Yuan Ze didn't do anything to these soldiers. After all, when he captured these soldiers, they were being tortured and killed by Hu Xiu's men.

Because of this incident, Yuan Ze even had an argument with Hu Xiu.

Yuan Ze meant that the prisoners of war must be treated with courtesy, but Hu Xiu wanted to kill the prisoners of war on the spot and there was no need to keep them.

Hu Xiu returned to Fengmuling with a lot of anger, but found that his most capable brothers Ji Zhang and Ji Wu did not come back with him.

However, his two most capable subordinates did not come back, but some accidents happened along the way.

After the demon army announced their withdrawal, the four elders each returned with their men. Unexpectedly, Ji Wu secretly returned to the battlefield halfway, and Chi Bi absorbed all the remaining remains on the battlefield for his own use.

Ji Zhang, who noticed his thoughts, had no choice but to follow him. At this time, Ji Wu had gone mad and completely ignored Ji Zhang's dissuasion.

Ji Zhang had to try to stop the fight in the end, but he was unexpectedly controlled by Ji Wu and could not move. Ji Wu was free for a moment and completely let himself go. For a moment, tens of thousands of corpses on the battlefield were all devoured by him in another form.

Because the number of things devoured was too huge, the entire demon world was affected. The entire battlefield was covered in black fog, thunder roared, and the weather changed color in an instant.

Almost at the same time, the elders and generals of the demon world with high cultivation levels, as well as the envoys, were attracted by this strange phenomenon.

"Great Elder, what happened?" Sang Zi asked the worried Yuan Ze.

Yuan Ze frowned and had no time to answer Sang Zi's question. He had never seen such a strange phenomenon before. If his guess was correct, it must be a great figure in the demon world who was born to meet the calamity. However, it was still unknown what kind of impact this person would have on the demon world.

The strange phenomenon lasted for several days before disappearing. Ji Wu absorbed the power of tens of thousands of divine soldiers and tens of thousands of demon soldiers, and his whole person changed completely. Both his aura and his mental outlook had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before, and were completely different.

Ji Zhang's face was dejected. He had been trying to stop his younger brother from doing evil things, but he was always powerless.

Before this, he had clearly agreed to it and even swore an oath, but now the situation has developed into such an unmanageable situation.

A few days ago, Ji Zhang felt very unfamiliar with this younger brother who he grew up with, and he couldn't even look him in the eyes.

After Ji Wu adjusted his breathing again, he came to Ji Zhang with a radiant look and untied the restrictions that bound him.

"Brother, why are you looking at me like that? Are you blaming me for not listening to you? Don't blame me. Think about what kind of person Elder Hu Xiu is. It will definitely not end well for us two brothers to follow him. I am just trying to find a way out for our future."

"No matter where you are, the strong are respected, while the weak can only be trampled on and bullied. We have been with the master for all these years, you must know his style of doing things, right? How did those messengers and subordinates come from? Brother, didn't you ever wonder why our parents were gone? How did you and I come to Maple Ridge?"

Ji Wu now looked like a strong man, and for the first time he spoke out the secret that he had hidden in his heart.

"I know my brother is kindhearted, indecisive and hesitant. So, I do everything he can't do, and I make decisions he can't make."

Ji Zhang had been disheartened before, but after listening to Ji Wu's words, he began to think carefully.

Ji Wu was right. Hu Xiu had raised both of them since they were young. Hu Xiu said that their parents died in an accident.

Over the years, his two brothers have been collecting various young monsters with outstanding potential for Hu Xiu to train and build his own force.

It's not that he didn't have doubts, but he didn't dare to doubt. Once the doubts arose, it would lead to all unnecessary dangers. He knew very well that neither he nor Ji Wu had the ability to fight against Hu Xiu. Before that, they had to hide and pretend that they knew nothing.

He didn't expect that the thing he had been worrying about, Ji Wu, who seemed to be the most careless person, had actually been thinking about it all the time and was silently making plans for it.

Ji Wu saw Ji Zhang's expression change, and then continued: "Before, my brother didn't let me show up because he was worried that I was not a match for Hu Xiu. Now, these tens of thousands of heroic souls will help me to overthrow Hu Xiu. It depends on whether my brother stands on his side."

Ji Zhang's heart was slowly being convinced by Ji Wu, but he still looked worried. If Ji Wu's plan failed, both of them would die without a burial place.

"Brother, are you worried that I am not a match for Hu Xiu? Or are you worried that I will implicate you?" Ji Wu changed his previous kind attitude and his eyes were cold.

Ji Zhang's heart sank. The two brothers had been together for more than a thousand years, but this was the first time he saw this kind of look in his brother's eyes.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you like this. You are my only relative in this world. Now that things have come to this, if you don't support me, who else will support me?" Ji Wu softened his tone again, his eyes as clear as before.

"Stop talking. I support you." Ji Zhang understood. As Ji Wu's only brother, if Ji Wu had made up his mind to break up with Hu Xiu, he had no choice but to stand on the same front with him.

"Brother, thank you, brother, you are my only relative. As long as you support me, I will not be afraid of anything." Ji Wu was convinced by Ji Zhang and hugged him immediately.

"Okay, what are you going to do next?" Ji Zhang didn't want to talk nonsense anymore and asked directly.

"Hmph!" Ji Wu snorted coldly, his eyes stern as he said, "When Xiao Yu rebelled against Xiao Jue, did he inform the other elders? Of course he would rush back to Maple Ridge and kill him by surprise."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." At this point, Ji Zhang could only follow Ji Wu's ideas. The only thing he could do was to accompany him.

"Don't worry. I'm here and I won't let Hu Xiu hurt you at all." Ji Wu acted like a strong man who was confident in what was going on as he led Ji Zhang to Fengmuling.

After the strange phenomenon disappeared, the four elders who were originally nervous also breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when Hu Xiu was worried about not being able to find the Ji and Wu brothers, a little demon came hurriedly to report: "Second Elder, Ji Wu, Ji Wu..."

"Ji Wu is back? Hurry and ask him to come in here. I thought he had been killed by the people from the God Realm." Hu Xiu shouted angrily.

"Elder, Ji Wu he...he..." The little demon hesitated and didn't dare to say any more.

"Is he really dead? If he is dead, bury him immediately. Why are you reporting to me?" Hu Xiu shouted impatiently again.

"My brother and I have been thinking about our master so much, but we never thought that he would think so lightly of Ji Wu's life." Ji Wusheng followed the others and looked at Hu Xiu with a look that was icy to the bone and contained a hint of murderous intent.

"Ji Wu? You're not dead yet why are you still trying to be mysterious?" Hu Xiu did not notice Ji Wu's changes, but his tone became more and more angry.

"Elder... Ji Wu practiced forbidden techniques and killed many of his own brothers." The little demon shouted hurriedly.

"What?" Hu Xiu's eyes widened as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, and he began to look carefully at Ji Wu in front of him.
