Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"Okay, then consider it as I owe you a favor. If you need me in the future, I will do my best. Bye." Bai Ji did not exchange pleasantries with the shopkeeper. After saying this, he left the Black Sea and returned to the Xingyue Imperial City.

Bai Ji never dreamed that Cang Mo would actually live in seclusion in the city, directly live in the Xingyue Imperial City, and become a high priest.

However, didn't he insist on marrying Minnuo ten thousand years ago, and ended up running away? How come he married someone again? And the girl was his apprentice? Could it be that his apprentice was related to the human woman ten thousand years ago?

Bai Ji's head was full of random thoughts and he didn't even wait until dawn so he rushed to the Crescent Moon Imperial City that night.

New Moon Imperial City, Lan Mansion...

That night, Lan Moqiu was not in the priest's house. He heard that a giant sea monster appeared in the East Territory. The sea monster came from the water system, and its inner elixir was very pure. He rushed to the East Territory without thinking, determined to get the inner elixir.

As soon as Lan Moqiu left, the huge Lan Mansion was left with a group of maids and old women, followed by the bodyguard Long Xiao, the half-grown child Aji, and two long-term guests Cong Li and Su Jin.

That night, at Su Jin's request, all the maids and servants gathered in the yard for a barbecue.

Yu Xiaobai taught them how to barbecue when they lived in the Danxia Secret Jungle. Su Jin liked it the best. A group of people gathered around the charcoal fire, grilling, eating and chatting at the same time. They were so happy.

Long Xiao also liked this kind of banquet, so he naturally participated in it. Everyone grilled and ate at the same time, and there was no distinction between master and servant, and the atmosphere was very lively and harmonious.

This was the scene Bai Ji saw when he entered the Lan Mansion. Everyone was holding several skewers of barbecue and eating them. When they saw the uninvited guest, they all looked at him with strange eyes.

"Who are you? Why did you break into my Lan Mansion in the middle of the night?" Long Xiao was the first to stand up and ask vigilantly.

"Is Cang Mo here?" Bai Ji asked directly without further ado.

"Who are you?" Long Xiao did not answer his question directly, but asked about Bai Ji's identity more vigilantly.

"Lord Bai Ji?" Su Jin recognized Bai Ji and asked in a low voice with evasive eyes.

"Do you know him?" Cong Li also quietly pushed Su Jin.

"He is the war god brother of Xiaobai Xianjun, Lord Baiji." Su Jin whispered in Cong Li's ear.

"Oh, so he is Master's brother, the God of War." Cong Li looked at Bai Ji in surprise. He did look a bit like his master, but not too much. The master was kind and amiable, but this God seemed a bit unkind and looked like he wanted to keep strangers away.

"You, come out and tell me why you are here?" Bai Ji raised his hand and pointed at Su Jin, asking sharply.

"Lord Bai Ji..." Su Jin avoided his gaze and called out in a low voice, hesitating and not daring to step forward.

"Su Jin, why are you here when you are not guarding the Sichen Palace..." Bai Ji shouted again.

Everyone present was so frightened that they trembled all over. Su Jin was so frightened that he screamed and knelt on the ground, begging: "Reporting to the God, I... I came to the lower world just to find my Taibu Xingjun."

"Looking for your Taibu Star Lord? Isn't the old Taibu Star Lord in the God Realm? Why are you here looking for him?" Bai Ji didn't believe Su Jin's words at all.

"Ah? Everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, ask Cong Li." Su Jin looked at Cong Li with a pleading look.

"Who is Cong Li?" Bai Ji followed Su Jin's gaze and saw a woman with a beautiful face but evasive eyes.

"My Lord, Cong Li is the only disciple of Immortal Lord Xiaobai!" Su Jin immediately introduced Cong Li to Bai Ji.

Cong Li is the only disciple of Xiaobai Immortal Lord, and Xiaobai Immortal Lord is the only younger brother of Baiji Divine Lord. For the sake of Xiaobai Immortal Lord, Baiji Divine Lord should not make things difficult for himself anymore, right?

"Oh! So that's the case! Then when do you plan to return to the upper realm?" Seeing that Cong Li looked frightened, Bai Ji didn't dare to say anything else and asked again.

"Your Majesty, I came down to look for my Star Lord Taibu, and Congli came with me to look for Immortal Lord Xiaobai. Since my Star Lord Taibu has already returned to the upper realm, I am not worried. But I still have to accompany Congli to find Immortal Lord Xiaobai and then go back together. I hope your Majesty will allow it." Su Jin kowtowed to Bai Ji and requested.

"Looking for Bai Qiyang?" Bai Ji frowned unconsciously. When he led his troops to the demon world to capture Helan Ruofeng, he seemed to see his idle brother in the demon world, and he seemed to be standing with Cang Mo at that time.

"In my opinion, it's better for you to go back to the God Realm as soon as possible. My brother is not in the human world." Bai Ji didn't want these two guys to run around like headless flies, nor could he let them take risks in the demon world.

"Then where did my master go? He has been away from the Thoreau Secret Realm for a long time." Cong Li was worried about Bai Qiyang, and asked Bai Ji with a pitiful look.

"In short, you two should hurry back to the upper realm..." Bai Ji did not answer Cong Li's question, but spoke sternly.

Cong Li was a little afraid of Bai Ji, so he nodded timidly, then shook his head firmly and said, "Uncle Master... I don't want to go back to the upper realm. I want to wait for my master."

"You..." Bai Ji saw that Cong Li looked like he was about to cry, and he couldn't say anything harsh, so he could only change his tone and say, "Then you two should stay here in Xingyue Imperial City. I, Bai Qiyang, will listen to you and go find him."

"Ah..." Su Jin's eyes widened when he heard Bai Ji's words. Lord Bai Ji, who always kept his word, would actually compromise?

"Thank you, Master, for your help." When Cong Li heard that he didn't have to go back to the upper realm, he immediately bowed respectfully to Bai Ji.

Bai Ji was ashamed. He never thought that his idle brother would find such a well-behaved girl as his disciple. It was really rare.

Bai Ji was about to leave when he realized the purpose of his trip and turned back to ask, "Does the high priest live here?"

Long Xiao looked at Bai Ji warily, and the others did not say anything.

"Is the high priest in the mansion?" Bai Ji looked at them like a demon and shouted again.

The maids and servants were so frightened that they all knelt down. Cong Li and Su Jin also shrank back and hid. Long Xiao also jumped up in fright.

"My master is not at home at all. He has been gone for quite some time." Aji was calm. He looked at Bai Ji with disgust and said without blinking.

"Not here? Where did he go?" Bai Ji asked Aji with sharp eyes, as if trying to see from his face whether he was lying.

"My master has been away from home for a long time. We are not the masters, so how dare we ask where he has been?" Aji looked directly into Bai Ji's eyes without fear, looking like a little adult.

"..." Bai Ji held his anger for a moment, then turned around and disappeared from the spot.

When he left, everyone in the yard breathed a sigh of relief.

"Aji, you are so awesome that you are not even afraid of Lord Baiji." Su Jin stood up with admiration on his face and pulled Aji.

Aji is almost eleven years old, and he looks much taller than Su Jin.

"Isn't he just a god? Why are you so afraid of him? He is not some monster, demon or ghost. Could a god from the upper realm dare to kill innocent people in our world?" Aji said coldly in a calm tone. He was the epitome of Lan Moqiu and worthy of being taught by Lan Moqiu himself.

"Aji, you don't know how scared we were of him when we were in the God Realm." Su Jin's face was full of fear when he mentioned Bai Ji.

"I don't know what he wants from my master." Long Xiao looked confused. He always felt that this man had bad intentions.

"He definitely has no good intentions, but the whereabouts of the adults have always been secretive, so he may not be able to find them." Aji said in a confident tone.

"I hope so!" Long Xiao could only pray in his heart that his master was not found by Bai Ji.

Bai Ji was full of resentment after leaving the Lan Mansion. He wanted to find Cang Mo and persuade him to return to the God Realm, but he ended up making a wasted trip.

He had promised his brother's good disciple to help her find her master, and he had to continue looking for Lan Moqiu's trace. He suddenly felt that his mood had reached its worst.

But what else could he do? Could he just keep looking? If he couldn't find her, he couldn't go back to the God Realm to report to the Emperor.

Bai Ji began to travel around the world again, searching every country, every city, and every mountain he had been to before, hoping to find Lan Moqiu as he wished, and find his younger brother at the same time.

Although he did not find Lan Moqiu, he met Bai Qiyang who was looking for Cong Li on the way to the Eastern Sea.

The two brothers bumped into each other while walking, and for a moment they both looked at each other in surprise.

"Brother, why are you here?" Bai Qiyang looked at Bai Ji in confusion. Didn't he get injured and escape in the demon world? Why did he come to the lower world so soon?

"Whether I come or not is none of your business. But you, why did you run to the demon world instead of staying in the gods' world? And why are you here again now?" Bai Ji did not answer Bai Qiyang's question, but questioned him instead.

Bai Qiyang frowned and looked at his brother carefully. He kindly asked him why he came here, but he not only didn't answer, but also asked a bunch of questions.

"I'm just an idle person in the God Realm. I can go wherever I want. But you, my brother, as the guardian general of the God Realm, how can you go down to the mortal world without permission and ignore the safety of the God Realm?" Bai Qiyang didn't bother to be polite with Bai Ji and asked directly.

"You are simply being unreasonable. If you have nothing to do, don't hang around in the human world. Hurry up and go to Xinyue with your apprentice and go back." When Bai Ji heard Bai Qiyang say this to him, he yelled angrily.

"Brother... watch your choice of words. I am no longer a child of seven or eight years old. I am also a god who has lived for tens of thousands of years." Bai Qiyang didn't like Bai Ji's disrespectful lecture.

"Okay, I said something too harsh. Your only disciple is currently in Xinyuelan Mansion. She is staying there temporarily with Su Jin, a little boy from Sichen Palace." Bai Ji also realized that he had said something too harsh, so he softened his voice.

"I understand." Bai Qiyang said these three words coldly, turned around and left the Eastern Territory.

He originally thought that his disciple just missed his parents and wanted to go back to the Blue Sea, but he didn't expect that he was actually living in the priest's house. Thinking of being able to see his good disciple, Bai Qiyang was so happy.

As soon as he arrived at the Lan Mansion, Bai Qiyang couldn't wait and walked in without being invited, causing Long Xiao and Aji to look at him with disgust.

"As one goes away, another comes. They really are brothers." Aji looked at Bai Qiyang in a sarcastic tone and said.

"Master Xiaobai, you came here because you knew Cong Li was in our house, right?" Long Xiao guessed Bai Qiyang's thoughts at a glance.

"Of course, otherwise I don't like to disturb others casually." Bai Qiyang immediately acted as if he wanted to keep strangers away.

"Master..." Cong Li called Bai Qiyang timidly. His originally calm heart was suddenly stirred up and tears welled up in his eyes.

"My dear disciple, what's wrong with you? Did they bully you? Tell your master right away and I will take care of it for you." Bai Qiyang couldn't bear to see Cong Li like this. Thinking that he had been wronged, he immediately stepped forward to protect him, pulled Cong Li up and comforted him, while his eyes did not forget to sweep over the crowd viciously.

"Who bullied her? She is not you, why should we bully her?" Seeing that Bai Qiyang was accusing someone without any reason, Aji immediately yelled.

"Master, they are so nice to me and won't bully me. But, Master left without saying goodbye in the Solo Secret Realm and left me there alone. I feel very sad." Cong Li didn't wait for Bai Qiyang to speak before expressing his grievances.

It would have been better if she didn't say anything. After she said that, Bai Qiyang's face, which was originally a little angry, suddenly turned red. He originally thought that his obedient disciple was bullied by this group of human beings, but in the end, the clown turned out to be himself.

"Well... my dear disciple, I didn't leave you in the Thoreau Secret Realm on purpose. I just forgot about it by mistake. So, as soon as I remembered it, I started looking for you everywhere, for fear that you might be in danger." Bai Qiyang hurriedly explained to Cong Li, but his voice became smaller and smaller as time went on.

"Master, you don't have to blame yourself. I'm not angry anymore." Cong Li knew that Bai Qi Yang was also looking for him, and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated, and he comforted him instead.

"Since the master has found you, let's go back to the God Realm!" Bai Qiyang didn't want to stay in the human world. His brother suddenly came to the mortal world, he must have a mission to accomplish.

"Master..." Cong Li avoided his gaze. Although she respected Bai Qiyang and wanted to be with him, she was also worried about her good brothers Helan Ruofeng and Xiaoyu.

After making sure they were safe and sound and had resolved everything, she didn't want to hide in the divine realm alone.

"You don't want to go back to the Thoreau Secret Realm with me? Oh, I get it. You miss your parents, right? Can I accompany you back to the Blue Sea?" Bai Qiyang thought Cong Li missed his parents at home, so he immediately said in a flattering manner.

"Master, I don't want to go back to the Thoreau Secret Realm. Helan and Xiaoyu are still in the vortex of the demon world. I don't want to go back to the God Realm alone and stay out of it." Cong Li mustered up the courage to speak out what was in his mind.

"Wouldn't it be the same as staying out of the matter if you just stayed here?" Bai Qiyang didn't understand Cong Li's thoughts.

"I promised Xiaoyu and Brother Helan that I would stay here and wait for them to resolve all issues safely." Cong Li looked at Bai Qiyang with a firm gaze, without dodging at all.

"What's the difference between waiting here and waiting in the God Realm?" Bai Qiyang asked again. He really couldn't understand.

"Master Xiaobai, as Cong Li's master, can't you respect her choice? She is not selling herself to you, she just wants to take you as her master." Long Xiao couldn't understand Bai Qiyang's thoughts. If someone wants to wait anywhere, then let them wait there. Why should he be so concerned?

"This lord..." Bai Qiyang was choked by Long Xiao's words and couldn't refute. After thinking for a while, he simply sat down on the chair and said, "Since this lord's beloved disciple wants to stay here, then this lord will not leave either."

"If you don't want to leave, then don't leave. My huge Lan Mansion doesn't need a bite of food from you." Long Xiao said immediately.

He didn't hate Bai Qiyang. After all, he had always protected him when they were in the demon world. Even if he didn't say it, he was very grateful to him in his heart.
