Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaobai stopped hesitating and started eating happily, and even took the initiative to help Lan Moqiu pick up some food.

Lan Moqiu saw her like this. It was the first time she picked up food for him since she had been by his side as Xue'er.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Lan Moqiu's already gentle face.

Yu Xiaobai also caught this smile, and her heart was warmed for a moment. In her heart, Lan Moqiu was not only her master, but also her brother and father.

The meal was quite harmonious. At the table, Yu Xiaobai couldn't help but tell Lan Moqiu what happened when he saw Hu Xiu. The smile on Lan Moqiu's face became more obvious.

I didn’t expect that this guy would actually roast Hu Xiu and eat him. She really likes roasting things.

Seeing Lan Moqiu so happy, Helan Ruofeng didn't seem to mind at all, so Yu Xiaobai asked directly: "Master, you are so powerful, can you return the spiritual power I absorbed... that is, Hu Xiu's cultivation, to him?"

"Give Hu Xiu's cultivation back to him? Why?" Lan Moqiu didn't understand Yu Xiaobai's thoughts, so he asked directly.

"I don't like to get something for nothing, especially when my cultivation is just random." Yu Xiaobai said frankly.

"He hurt you before, do you still want to give it back to him?" Lan Moqiu asked again.

"Ruofeng and I have been to Fengmuling before and emptied his house. The treasures there are priceless, some are even priceless. He has paid off what he owed me. I don't want his cultivation, so I might as well give it back to him!" Yu Xiaobai looked directly at Lan Moqiu, with a hint of coquettishness in his tone.

Lan Moqiu looked at Yu Xiaobai and chuckled, saying, "I'll try, but I can't guarantee it will work. What about you? Do you also agree that she should return her cultivation to Hu Xiu?" After asking, he looked at Helan Ruofeng again.

"I have no opinion. After all, Xiaoyu is the person involved." Helan Ruofeng replied very politely.

"Master, Ruofeng will respect me no matter what I do!" Yu Xiaobai gave Lan Moqiu a sweet smile.

Helan Ruofeng saw that Yu Xiaobai had no romantic feelings for Lan Moqiu, but he saw a flutter in Lan Moqiu's eyes. This flutter was as indestructible and unbreakable as a thousand-year-old iron tree blooming. What was the reason that made him fall in love with Xiaoyu, but was willing to give silently?

Lan Moqiu then raised his eyes to look at Helan Ruofeng. His eyes were clear and bright, like a spring of clear water, and there was a hint of imperceptible envy hidden in the depths.

Helan Ruofeng was not wrong. His eyes were full of envy. Was he envious of the love between him and Xiaoyu? Maybe! After all, he and his legendary human wife did not have a good ending.

"In fact, it is not impossible for you to recover the power of the demon god. You just need to make the black glazed fire hidden in your body disappear completely." Lan Moqiu said suddenly.

The black glazed fire is the karmic fire that was born when Pangu created the world at the beginning of chaos. It has the ability to burn all things in the world. Even if there is only a trace of heart fire, it can last forever.

When Feng Xi was fighting with the four generals of the God Realm, Lan Moqiu was already on the verge of life and death. After saving Lan Moqiu, Feng Xi struggled to resist the attacks of the four generals.

At that time, the God of War Yan Xiao brought out the Black Glazed Fire without regard for the consequences. The target of this Black Glazed Fire was originally Cangmo, but Feng Xi transferred Cangmo away at the last moment and took the Black Glazed Fire herself, thus burning Ji to death.

"The high priest said that the reason why Xiaoyu can't recover the power of the demon god is because there is black glazed fire in his body? The black glazed fire is not only available in the realm of gods, so why is it in Xiaoyu's body?" Helan Ruofeng asked puzzled.

Taibu Xingjun once told him the origin of the Black Glazed Fire. This fire has the ability to burn all things to death. Even the Emperor of the God Realm, or even the Emperor of Heaven, will surely die if they are contaminated by the Black Glazed Fire, and both their soul and body will be destroyed.

“That’s right. It’s precisely because the Black Glazed Fire belongs to the God Realm and has the power to burn all things that Feng Xi ten thousand years ago used his body to block the fire and died under the Black Glazed Fire, both his body and soul being destroyed.” After Lan Moqiu finished speaking, his expression seemed to have returned to the memories of ten thousand years ago.

"Cang Mo, I know very well that you only love your wife. I still can't tell the difference between love and hate, but at this moment, I am willing to block this disaster for you..." This was the last sentence Feng Xi said when he sent him into the secret realm of Danxia Peak.

Lan Moqiu didn't understand what Feng Xi meant at that time. After all, they were just friends, but she was determined to die for him.

After Feng Xi died, although he went through great hardships to refine the Soul Gathering Pill for her and collected her remaining broken demon essence, he found that the Black Glazed Fire did not disappear, but coexisted in the world with her demon god power.

If Feng Xi's demon god power is awakened, the black glazed fire hidden in the demon god power will surely be rekindled, and Feng Xi will eventually suffer the pain of being burned once again and die once more.

He was the only one who knew about this, so when Lan Moqiu discovered her abnormality in the Black Domain Swamp, he directly sealed her demon power.

Originally, as long as the seal was not lifted, she could only practice the magic of the divine world. The magic created by Lan Moqiu had a purifying effect, which could help her better consolidate the power of the sealed demon god and prevent the rekindling of the black glazed fire.

Unexpectedly, several elders of the demon world attempted to awaken the power of the demon god, which led to Yu Xiaobai being in danger time and time again.

"Ten thousand years ago, she fought against the four great generals of the God Realm, and Yan Xiao summoned the Black Glazed Fire." Lan Moqiu replied briefly. He naturally didn't want to talk about the twists and turns involved.

"God of War Yan Xiao..." Helan Ruofeng seemed to have heard Taibu Xingjun talk about this god.

"Didn't he say he had died a long time ago? Turns out he was the one who harmed me! If I knew where he was buried, I would dig him out and whip his corpse eight hundred times." When Yu Xiaobai heard that the person who harmed him so miserably was Yan Xiao, he couldn't help but curse.

"Gods are not immortal. Yan Xiao has already fallen and disappeared forever in the void." Lan Moqiu looked at Yu Xiaobai and said with a smile, as if to pour cold water on her.

"If you don't want to whip the corpse, then don't whip the corpse!" Yu Xiaobai felt disappointed and casually flipped the dish in front of him with the chopsticks in his hand without picking up any.

"High Priest, please tell me how to make the black glazed fire disappear from the little fish's body?" Helan Ruofeng did not listen to what the two said, but asked stubbornly.

"It is difficult to say but it is also easy to say. It all depends on whether the opportunity has arrived." Lan Moqiu's words were vague and unclear, leaving Helan Ruofeng confused.

"Master, just tell me the simple answer!" Yu Xiaobai didn't bother to be polite with Lan Moqiu and asked directly.

Lan Moqiu chuckled again, and glanced at Helan Ruofeng vaguely, then said: "The Black Glazed Fire is a weapon used by the God Realm to attack other races. The demon race naturally cannot eradicate it, but the demon race's pure source inner elixir can control it. If we can obtain the pure source inner elixir of the God Race, we can directly purify it or completely extinguish it."

"The pure inner elixir from the divine world?" Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng said at the same time.

The pure inner elixir of the demon race is extremely rare, let alone the pure inner elixir of the god race. Not to mention that the god race and the demon race are irreconcilable, even if there is no hatred between the two races, who among the god race who has the pure inner elixir is willing to selflessly dedicate it to Yu Xiaobai? This is simply a foolish dream.

"That's why I said it is both simple and difficult." Lan Moqiu explained slowly.

"High Priest, what exactly is this Pure Source Inner Elixir? What kind of person can cultivate a Pure Source Inner Elixir?" Helan Ruofeng asked again.

"The so-called pure source is the pure source. The pill condensed from the original innocent heart is the pure inner pill." Lan Moqiu said this word by word while looking into Helan Ruofeng's eyes.

Innocent heart, the source of purity? Helan Ruofeng fell into deep thought as he read these eight words.

The elixir cultivated with an innocent heart is the pure inner elixir, just like the crocodile in the cave on the isolated island in the Three Gorges Secret Realm? Because it is isolated from the world, its mind is pure, and the inner elixir condensed is the purest inner elixir.

What about his own? Is his inner elixir pure? Can it be used to help Xiaoyu extinguish the black glazed fire? But the high priest said that the person must be a god, and he was not a god at this time, and he did not want to be a god.

"Ruofeng, don't think too much. Things will work out when the time comes. Let's eat first!" Yu Xiaobai interrupted Helan Ruofeng's thoughts.

Lan Moqiu continued to put food into Yu Xiaobai's bowl without saying anything, but his eyes would glance at Helan Ruofeng from time to time.

There are some things he can only say briefly. Whether they understand or not is other people's business.

After the meal, everyone returned to their respective residences.

Although Yu Xiaobai wanted to eliminate the black glazed fire in her body, she didn't want to just steal someone else's inner elixir, so she just listened and didn't think about it anymore. Compared to stealing someone else's inner elixir, she was willing to continue practicing the divine world magic that Lan Moqiu had taught her before.

Helan Ruofeng had another plan in mind.

In this way, Yu Xiaobai began to practice the techniques she had learned in Yunji Villa all day long. She even recalled and reviewed the theoretical lessons over and over again.

At the same time, Helan Ruofeng was also willing to practice with her and discuss the progress of practice together.

The good guys are all practicing so diligently, what are the villains doing?

After returning to Maple Ridge, the Ji and Wu brothers began to gather all the monsters in the Maple Forest to form a not-so-small team. They even went to Kunlongze to recruit some scattered monsters.

Now that they have a territory and a team, what are they doing? Of course, they are training every day. Ji Wu is ambitiously thinking about killing Hu Xiu and the other three elders and then annexing their forces.

Ji Zhang did not agree with the non-existent plan. He felt that now that he had his own territory, he only needed to consolidate it and there was no need to stir up trouble and cause war.

Ji Wu didn't think so much. His heart had already changed little by little. He became greedy and liked to stir up trouble.

Ji Zhang had tried to persuade Ji Wu earnestly, but Ji Wu was an ambitious man who refused to listen.

Because of this, the two brothers quarreled a lot. Ji Zhang finally softened his heart and agreed to let Ji Wu help him train the army and be ready to attack other territories at any time.

Maple Ridge also became precarious because of Ji Wu's brutal methods. A large number of demons began to flee in all directions and fled to the territories of other elders.

Ji Wu didn't care about it. He felt that people with different beliefs cannot work together. Since those people were unwilling to follow him, there was no need to force them to stay. He had no control over who they fell in love with.

The days passed by so dully. Yu Xiaobai and Helan began to practice various techniques again under the guidance of Lan Moqiu.

It must be said that compared to the teachings of Taibu Xingjun, a mere civil official, the methods taught by Lan Moqiu, a god who was once comparable to the god of war, were more advanced and practical. Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng both felt like they had met an immortal master whose calligraphy had already reached the pinnacle and was unmatched.

Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng even praised each other because their skills had improved a lot and their cultivation had also improved a lot, and Lan Moqiu couldn't stand it anymore.

Yu Xiaobai said: "Ruofeng, you are simply a genius among geniuses, a unicorn in talent, extremely intelligent, one in a million..."

Helan Ruofeng also praised Yu Xiaobai generously, saying: "Xiaoyu is worthy of being the Demon King, he is quick-witted and extremely smart..."

Yu Xiaobai stopped talking hastily: "No, Ruofeng, you can praise me for my quick wit and intelligence, but don't praise me for being extremely smart, I don't want to be extremely smart..."

Helan Ruofeng didn't understand what Yu Xiaobai meant and could only stare blankly.

Seeing the two people flirting with each other, Lan Moqiu could only pretend nothing happened and hide aside, pretending not to see it.

It was another day, Helan Ruofeng and Yu Xiaobai were practicing together again, and Lan Moqiu was still watching them from afar.

As luck would have it, a white-crowned sparrow suddenly broke into the fight between the two men, scaring Helan Ruofeng so much that he quickly stopped.

Yu Xiaobai was also quite frightened. Although it was just an inconspicuous bird, this was the demon world after all, and it was certainly not okay to kill it casually.

The bird stopped between the two of them and did not move. The look in its eyes as it looked filled with bitterness and hatred.

"Are you Elder Hu Xiu?" Yu Xiaobai deliberately moved forward and asked as if he didn't know him.

"It should be him. He looks a bit similar. But don't all the white-crowned cranes in the world look the same? It should be hard to tell them apart, right?" Helan Ruofeng leaned his head over and asked like a curious baby.

"Your Highness, I will never be able to restore my human form. Please kill me! Give me a quick death." The bird was indeed Hu Xiu. He chirped at Yu Xiaobai.

"Is it really Elder Hu Xiu? Kill you? Why should I kill you? You have done nothing wrong. I, Yu Xiaobai, never kill innocent birds." Yu Xiaobai said pretending to be kind.

What she said was actually true. She liked to eat chicken but she didn't dare to kill it. She had only killed evil monsters in her life. How could she kill an old bird that looked kind of cute?

"Your Highness, I thought that after my cultivation was sucked away by Your Highness, I would be able to return to human form in ten days or half a month. But now, several months have passed and there is still no improvement. I am afraid that I will never be able to transform into a human form. It is better for me to die." Hu Xiu said dejectedly and lay limply on the ground.

Not to mention, when Hu Xiu transformed into a human, he was a lousy old man, and looked a bit wretched. Now that he has returned to his original form as a bird, he is not so annoying when he is playing tricks.

"I won't kill you. Don't you just want to restore your human form? I can just return your cultivation to you." Yu Xiaobai said, and looked at Lan Moqiu not far away.

It happened that Lan Moqiu was also looking at her at this moment, and seemed to have thought of what she was going to do, and he teleported directly in front of the two of them.

"Have you decided?" Lan Moqiu asked Yu Xiaobai in a gentle manner.

Hu Xiu is a great demon who has lived for tens of thousands of years. Even if he gave a little of his cultivation to anyone, it would be a great power. Now, Yu Xiaobai actually wants to give it back to him. I'm afraid no one would be willing to do so!
