Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"But..." Helan Ruofeng frowned, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"But what but? I am a complete soul, and you are just not well-trained." Yu Xiaobai immediately interrupted Helan Ruofeng and stopped him from asking any more questions.

"Okay, maybe I saw it wrong." Helan Ruofeng sighed helplessly and stopped arguing.

"Maybe he was injured in the fight with the snake demon. He will be fine after a few days." Jin Xuan said seriously, with a hint of comfort in his tone.

This speculation is not groundless. After all, they have just experienced a fierce battle. Fighting against powerful monsters will not only hurt their bodies, but it is also possible to affect their souls.

After the three of them had eaten and rested enough, they left the cave and planned to leave the island. There was no excitement on the way here, but the relationship between them had changed, from teammates who were reluctant to form a team at the beginning to good friends who lived and died together.

Helan Ruofeng was still leading the way, Yu Xiaobai was in the middle, and Jin Xuan was at the back. The three of them moved forward step by step in tacit understanding.

"Jin Xuan, do you still want to join the immortal sect and practice Taoism?" Yu Xiaobai couldn't help but ask.

She knew that after all this trouble, it would be almost impossible to get first place.

Jin Xuan was silent for a while, then replied: "I want to, but... I may not have this opportunity."

His voice carried a hint of loneliness and helplessness. He had mustered up a lot of courage to leave the palace and ask Lan Moqiu for this opportunity, but now, this opportunity seemed to be wasted.

Yu Xiaobai looked at Jin Xuan and could not help but feel sympathy. She knew how rare it was for Jin Xuan to have the opportunity to enter the immortal sect and cultivate immortality. But now, because of an accident, Jin Xuan's dream might be shattered.

"It's okay, maybe there is another way." Yu Xiaobai comforted.

"Thank you, if it weren't for you, I might have died here a long time ago. No matter what, this adventure is a valuable experience for me." Jin Xuan said with a depressed look.

Yu Xiaobai nodded. She believed that even if he could not enter the immortal sect to cultivate immortality, Jin Xuan would definitely be able to find a smooth path to becoming an emperor. After all, life is full of possibilities. As long as you don't give up your efforts, you will encounter surprises on every road.

"However, I don't have a chance, but you two still have. As long as the three of us work together, I will give my share to you two." Jin Xuan thought to himself. It was indeed a bit sad that he didn't get his freedom this time, but if his two good friends could be successfully selected, it would be a kind of consolation.

Jin Xuan knew that he had lost his chance, but he was not discouraged. On the contrary, he hoped to realize his wish by helping his friends.

"It's too early to give up now. We still have time." Helan Ruofeng didn't think so. He firmly believed that they would not fail easily.

Among the candidates this time, except for Xing Shangshu's youngest son Xing Fang, who had learned some basic skills from a wandering sorcerer, the others were newcomers who knew nothing about magic.

Although he, Helan Ruofeng, was not as good as some of the famous disciples of the great immortal cultivation sects, he was not much worse. His master once said that he was extremely talented and had learned since childhood. If he could be taught by a famous teacher, he would definitely achieve something in the future.

After his master left, Helan Ruofeng has been living in the village with his parents for the past few years. He likes magic and divination even more. He can use anything he gets his hands on to tell a fortune.

The villagers gave him a nickname - the little charlatan. Seeing that he was fascinated by it, his father let him out when he was 18 years old.

His father said that if he stayed in the small village he would achieve nothing, but if he went out to explore the world and joined a famous sect, he might be able to achieve something for himself one day.

"Yes, Helan Ruofeng is right. If we give up now, isn't it too early? I believe that as long as we have tried our best, we will not regret it even if we lose. What is important is the process rather than the result. What's more, you have the two of us here with you." Yu Xiaobai repeated to Jin Xuan the words he knew that could encourage others.

"Thank you, Brother Helan, and thank you, Miss Zi Yan. You are right. I shouldn't have given up so early." After Jin Xuan drank a bucket of chicken soup from the two, he immediately became full of fighting spirit as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

The three of them quickly left the island and headed towards another secret place.

At the same time, Zhou Ze and Bu Duo also led a group of fellow disciples into the secret realm.

"Big Brother, did His Majesty really break into that place with those two?" He asked curiously. It was said that that place required a certain level of spiritual power to be discovered. Those three were all newcomers, so how could they have gotten lost when they went there?

"Master's Ningguang Mirror can't see them. If they hadn't accidentally entered that place, where could they have gone?" Zhou Ze asked with a puzzled look on his face. He couldn't figure out the reason. He hoped that the Ningguang Mirror was wrong, and they didn't really enter that place by mistake.

"Big Brother, don't you want to go in and take a look? That's where the Demon King stayed. Demon King, that's the Demon King." Bu Bu continued to add excitedly.

"You are a cultivator. The Demon King is on the opposite side of us. Why are you so excited?" Zhou Ze frowned angrily and stared at Bu Bu intently.

"Big Brother, don't look at me like that. I heard that the demon king is very graceful and powerful. A god in heaven even fell into evil for her." Bu Bu didn't care about Zhou Ze's angry look and continued to excitedly tell the gossip he had heard.

"No...more. If you say another word, I will cut off your tongue, believe it or not?" Zhou Ze finally said viciously with a dark face.

"I won't say anymore, hmm." Buduo was so scared that he quickly covered his mouth, causing the fellow apprentices behind him to burst into laughter.

With Zhou Ze leading the way, they came directly to the isolated island. They saw an empty space in front of them and a huge barrier separating the isolated island from the entire secret realm.

"Big Brother, this barrier? Are you sure they can really get in?" Bu Duo didn't forget the warning he had just received and asked again.

"It looks like they can't get in, but we still have to go in and look for it." Zhou Ze made up his mind and took a few people there.

Lonely Island...

Ling Yuwei was unable to get out. After a lot of struggling, she raised the peach wood sword in her hand and slashed around. When she was tired of shouting, she squatted on the ground and cried. The sound of her sobs could be heard from far away.

The red snake demon was covered in wounds and hid in a pile of rubble. He had been lying there all the time. He didn't know when he would recover from his wounds. It would be great if he could go to a place with abundant spiritual energy. Just at this moment, he heard the sound of dripping sobs. He was delighted. Without spiritual energy, using the souls of humans to nourish his soul was also a good choice.

He quietly crawled towards the crying sound, step by step, carefully. As he got closer, he could smell the fragrance of a human girl. He was almost drooling at the smell. He slowly approached her body, ready to attack from behind.

Ling Yuwei was originally squatting on the ground holding her head and crying. The gurgling sound behind her instantly alerted her. When she turned around, she saw a small snake swimming towards her.

"Help...snake, I'm so afraid of snakes, help...help me..."

Ling Yuwei looked at the red snake demon in front of her in horror. Her face was as pale as paper and her body was trembling slightly. She raised the peach wood sword in her hand and stabbed the ground frantically, as if this could dispel the fear in her heart.

As she poked, she shouted for help, hoping someone could hear her cries.

"Little girl, just let me eat you. I will always remember your life-saving grace."

The red-banded snake demon's seductive voice slowly sounded, his eyes filled with greed and cunning.

Even though he had been beaten back to his original form, he still had a life span of tens of thousands of years. As long as he was given some time to adjust his breathing, he would soon be able to return to human form. He did not take this mere human race seriously.

"Help!" Ling Yuwei's screams resounded throughout the island, her voice revealing endless despair and fear. She had never been in such close contact with a snake, especially a talking snake demon.

At this moment, she regretted very much that she had listened to the words of the senior sister. She felt that her life was seriously threatened. She just hoped that the retribution would not come so quickly.

"Big Brother, the sound is over there." Just then, an anxious voice came from not far away. Yun Qing heard Ling Yuwei's cry for help with his sharp ears, and he quickly pointed out the direction.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw faint screams coming from a rocky mountain. Without hesitation, they quickened their pace and rushed to the source of the sound.

Zhou Ze was anxious and flew quickly with his fellow apprentices towards the direction where the cry came from. When they arrived, they were shocked by the scene before them - they saw an ordinary snake demon, but its whole body was flashing with strange red light, greedily sucking Ling Yuwei's soul.

"Evil beast! Stop it now!" Zhou Ze was furious and shouted loudly. The sword in his hand flashed with cold light and stabbed at the red snake demon fiercely.

The red snake demon sensed the danger and dodged in a hurry, trying to escape. However, how could Zhou Ze let it go so easily? He chased after it at an extremely fast speed, waving the sword in his hand continuously, with the force of the sword like a rainbow.

Seeing that the red snake monster was about to escape, Zhou Ze took out a talisman from his arms without hesitation, muttered something, and then threw it at the red snake monster. The red snake monster was unable to dodge and was hit by the talisman, and was immediately unable to move.

Zhou Ze took the opportunity to rush forward, grabbed the red-bellied snake demon, and put it into the Qiankun bag he carried with him.

On the other side, Bu Duo was holding the unconscious Ling Yuwei and checking if she was injured.

"How is she?" Zhou Ze asked when he came back and saw this.

"It's okay. Fortunately, we came quickly. If we had arrived a quarter of an hour later, her soul would have been sucked away by the snake demon. Senior Brother, has the snake demon been caught?" After answering briefly, he looked at the Qiankun bag in Zhou Ze's hand curiously.

"We caught it. It's just an ordinary red-banded snake demon. Red-banded snake demons are ferocious by nature and have difficulty in transforming into big demons due to the difficulty of natural tribulation. Most of them can't become a powerful demon." Zhou Ze explained.

"So what should we do now?" Buduo asked again.

"Let the two junior brothers escort her out of the secret realm first, and we will stay here to continue looking. We must find His Majesty as soon as possible." Zhou Ze looked worried.

"By the way, take this out and give it to the master." Zhou Ze threw the Qiankun bag to Yun Qing who was sending Ling Yuwei out.

Just like that, Ling Yuwei and the red snake demon were taken out of the secret realm by two disciples. Zhou Ze and Bu Bu led a few others to continue searching for Jin Xuan, Helan Ruofeng and others.

Jin Xuan and his friends slowly came to a quiet place, where there was only a gurgling stream and thousand-year-old trees towering into the sky, and no other sound, not even the sound of mosquitoes.

"This place is so beautiful, it's like a paradise on earth. I want to live here forever."

Yu Xiaobai rolled on the ground with his arms open and making a crazy sound, then he jumped up, bent down, scooped up water from the stream to drink, climbed up a tree branch and yelled, like a person who had escaped from a mental hospital.

"It's really beautiful here, like a paradise on earth!" Jin Xuan couldn't help but sigh. When he was a child, he lived in the palace with his mother. When he grew up and became the emperor, he also lived in the palace. He had never been out to see the outside world.

"It's a paradise on earth, it's really beautiful." While Helan Ruofeng was admiring, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the happy Yu Xiaobai.

"With such a beautiful scenery, why don't you sing a song?" Yu Xiaobai stretched out his hand towards the two of them as if inviting them.

"I do not know how to sing."

"I do not know either."

Helan Ruofeng and Jin Xuan both rejected her invitation.

"What a bummer... Never mind, I'll sing for you for free!" Yu Xiaobai said excitedly as she climbed up a tree. At this moment, she felt extremely relaxed. Today, there were many thrilling disasters one after another, but how could ordinary people see the beautiful scenery at this moment?

"The world is so ridiculous, infatuation is the most boring, it's ok to be arrogant, the next life is difficult, love and hate are written off, I just want to be happy until old age while drinking and singing..."

When Yu Xiaobai sang to this point, she turned around and saw Jin Xuan and Helan Ruofeng looking at her with sparkling eyes like two big fools. Especially when she saw Helan Ruofeng's white shirt that was as tattered as catkins, she couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha...hahaha..." She laughed happily, and accidentally slipped and fell directly from the tall tree trunk.

"what……"

Helan Ruofeng quickly ran over and caught her. He did not turn around as expected. She just looked at him quietly. His face slowly turned red, all the way to his neck and ears.

"Thank you! Your face, neck and ears are all red. Are you shy?" Yu Xiaobai asked stupidly like a mentally retarded person.

That's right, Helan Ruofeng was shy. He had been attracted to her for some reason since the first time he saw her lying on the ground yelling that she was a stupid dog. Is there another girl in the world who calls herself a stupid dog?

"Miss Zi Yan, how can you ask a man like that?" Jin Xuan interrupted the two of them, and also interrupted Yu Xiaobai's monologue.

Helan Ruofeng threw Yu Xiaobai down in a hurry as if he was throwing a hot potato, and then ran away without looking back.

He ran a long way in one breath and only stopped when he felt safe, gasping for breath.

At this moment, his face was burning hot just as Yu Xiaobai said, his neck was hot, his ears were hot, and his heart was beating wildly at a speed he had never felt before, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

This feeling made him a little scared, but more shy and at a loss. He was worried that his heartbeat would be heard by others, so he chose to hide far away and try to calm this ridiculous heartbeat.

"Brother Jin Xuan, Helan Ruofeng's face is so red, is he shy?" Yu Xiaobai asked Jin Xuan with an idiotic look on his face, seeming to be very puzzled by what had just happened.
