Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"Brother Jin Xuan, since you have made such a promise, I will naturally believe you." After Helan Ruofeng finished speaking, he looked at Yu Xiaobai not far away, and a warm feeling rose in his heart.

His master once told him that if a man meets the woman he loves, he will have these inexplicable reactions, so he guessed that he might be in love with Miss Zi Yan.

In the Demon Locking Tower...

Things turned out just as Lan Moqiu had expected. Within half an hour, the snake demon was beaten to the ground and turned into a small ordinary red snake.

In order to prevent it from escaping again, Sa Hurricane and the five elders set up the formation again, using the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron as the center of the formation to trap the Red Snake Demon.

"With this Soul-Suppressing Cauldron as a formation, I wonder how you can escape." Sa Hurricane said as he looked at the dying Red Snake Demon.

"Master, why don't we work together to kill this snake demon on the spot, and then use the Samadhi True Fire to destroy his soul?" Great Elder, this suggestion is not without reason. Destroying his soul will eliminate the trouble forever. However, if he is imprisoned here for a long time, he may not want to escape again.

"Everything has cause and effect. Why does the Great Elder have to kill him all? There is the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron as the center of the formation in the Demon Locking Tower. How can he escape?" Lan Moqiu's cold voice sounded at the side.

"Great, High Priest, why are you here?" The Great Elder was stunned when he heard this. Everyone had gone out, so why was the High Priest the only one still standing aside?

"Didn't I close the door before I could go out to greet the Sect Master?" Lan Moqiu said helplessly.

"This..." Sa Hun looked aggrieved. He thought the high priest would stay to help, but unexpectedly, he just stood there and watched silently the whole time.

"Okay, Red Snake Demon, you have been locked up. Now you can go out and judge the results of this new disciple competition, right?" Lan Moqiu didn't want to stay in this bland Yunji Villa. He was not a monk who ate vegetarian food all day.

"Oh, I totally forgot about this. Okay, let's get out now." After saying this, Sa Hurricane opened the tower door, and several people filed out.

"Okay, it's okay. Let's go back to the front hall and wait for the announcement of the results of the challenge competition!" Sa Hurricane announced as soon as he came out.

All the disciples cheered happily upon hearing this, thinking that whether they could enter Yunji Villa to practice Taoism would depend on the results in a while.

After returning to the front hall, everyone quietly waited for the results. Some people were excited, looking forward to passing the test, while others were anxious, worried that they would not pass.

All the new disciples handed their Qiankun bags to the senior disciples who were responsible for checking. After careful inspection, the senior disciples reported the results to Zhou Ze.

Then Zhou Ze transmitted the results accurately to the five elders.

The entire process is rigorous and orderly to ensure the fairness and accuracy of the assessment.

The results came out in less than half an hour. Only twenty-three out of the thirty-seven disciples were selected. Among these twenty-three disciples, there were a group of three from Xing Fang and a group of four from Yang Liyun, who eliminated Ling Yuwei, and the remaining three passed.

Among the fourteen eliminated newcomers were Jin Xuan and Helan Ruofeng. If Jin Xuan was eliminated because of the agreement between him and Lan Moqiu that he did not have to get first place in every level, then it would be strange that Helan Ruofeng was eliminated.

The explanations given by Sa Hun and the five elders were simple and clear.

"My Yunji Villa is a unique sect. Although we have vowed to save the common people, we also shoulder the responsibility of protecting our Xingyue Dynasty. Therefore, those with unknown origins are not allowed to enter my Yunji Villa."

These four words of unknown origin clearly cut off Helan Ruofeng's future.

How come his origins are unknown? He lives on an unnamed island in the East China Sea. His parents are local fishermen and have never set foot outside the world. The people on the island are simple and honest, and the islanders never do evil things. How can we predict that he will bring disaster to the Star-Moon Dynasty?

"His origins are unknown, so can't we accept him?" Yu Xiaobai shouted incoherently.

"Zi Yan, you little stinky girl, you've been speaking in his favor for just a few days. This shows how good he is at misleading people." Sa Yulong immediately stood up and pointed at Zi Yan and started scolding.

"Could it be that during these three days when you two were together day and night, you two had done something shameful?" After she said this, her eyes moved between the two of them with contempt.

"You're talking nonsense." Yu Xiaobai blushed when she said that and immediately denied it.

"Miss Sa, please stop talking nonsense. There is nothing innocent between Miss Zi Yan and I. Besides, Brother Jin Xuan is traveling with us, so how can there be anything you say is going on?" When Helan Ruofeng heard someone insulting his and Yu Xiaobai's reputation, he immediately spoke up to defend himself.

"Oh! Are you the only one who can speak without any evidence?" Sa Yulong was about to say something but was interrupted by Jin Xuan.

"Master, since I cannot enter Yunji Villa, I must go back to be the emperor of Xinyue Country. On that day, it was indeed me, Brother He Nan, Miss Zi Yan and I who formed a team to pass the test. If the two of them had done something shameful during this, then wouldn't I be just a decoration? Did Miss Sa think I was blind?"

Jin Xuan thought that since he couldn't enter the immortal sect anyway, he was not afraid of offending them and would definitely support his two good brothers.

"Yulong, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't you have a headache? If you have a headache, go back to your room and rest. Why are you yelling here?" It was the first time that Sa Hun saw his daughter say such ridiculous words in front of so many people. He couldn't help but yell at her angrily.

"Dad..." Sa Yulong stomped her feet, said something coquettish, and left angrily.

"Since the result has been announced, those who should go home should go home and be careful on the road. Those who should stay must abide by the rules of my Yunji Villa from now on. All of you should disperse, okay?" Sa Hurricane sighed helplessly after saying this.

"Master, the priest has also taken His Majesty back to the palace." Lan Moqiu also stood up and said goodbye. He glanced at Jin Xuan who was looking lost not far away and shook his head helplessly.

"Brother Jin Xuan, since you can't become a disciple of the Immortal Sect, just go back and be a good emperor. After I finish my studies, I will definitely go to the palace to visit you. Remember to prepare a lot of delicious delicacies for me, okay? Don't be discouraged." Yu Xiaobai couldn't bear to see Jin Xuan sad, so he pretended to be friendly and went forward to comfort him.

"Brother Jin Xuan, don't worry too much. I'm the same as you. I came here with high hopes but left with disappointment. You can go back and be the emperor, but I can only return to my island and continue to be a fisherman." Helan Ruofeng patted Jin Xuan's shoulder comfortingly.

"Brother Helan, Miss Zi Yan, thank you for your concern. Don't worry, I will never complain about myself. I will study hard when I return to the palace and be a good emperor who works diligently and loves the people." Jin Xuan also changed his previous dejected look and immediately made a promise as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

"Okay, in that case, we will definitely meet again in this lifetime. When the time comes, I will definitely go to the palace to visit you. Don't forget to treat us well. Just like Miss Zi Yan said, I also want to eat delicacies from mountains and seas, so you have to prepare them in advance and wait for me." Helan Ruofeng also imitated Yu Xiaobai's words.

"Okay, I will prepare a big table of delicacies from land and sea for you two." A smile also appeared on Jin Xuan's face.

"Your Majesty, please!" Lan Moqiu waited by the side with an indifferent look on his face, holding the dying dog in his arms. Helan Ruofeng and Yu Xiaobai stood there reluctantly, watching Jin Xuan walk towards Lan Moqiu, looking back every few steps.

Suddenly, Xue'er in Lan Moqiu's arms broke free from his arms, jumped down and ran towards Yu Xiaobai.

"Ah...you're here?" Yu Xiaobai rushed over excitedly and hugged Xue'er in his arms. To be precise, he held Zi Yan and half of her soul in his arms.

"Wow, wow, half of my soul." Zi Yan in the corner suddenly burst into tears excitedly.

"Why are you crying? Hurry up and hug her if you can. After she follows the high priest back to the palace, I'm afraid we'll never see her again. Both of us have become lunatics with incomplete souls." Yu Xiaobai complained secretly.

Zi Yan, who had turned into a dog at this time, was even happier when she saw Yu Xiaobai, or rather, when she saw her own body, she kissed and licked him non-stop, even rubbing his face and licking him. She was so happy that she could hardly speak.

"You can like it but don't lick it on your face. It smells bad." Yu Xiaobai quickly pushed Zi Yan's dog head away.

"Could it be that this girl is usually nice to Xue'er?" Lan Moqiu thought so in his heart. He didn't realize that this girl was quite kind.

"High Priest, can you bring Xue'er back more often in the future?" Yu Xiaobai shamelessly looked at Lan Moqiu with a begging look on his face.

"Huh?" Lan Moqiu was puzzled. Why would she make such a request?

"Well, this Xue'er has been under my care since the eldest lady bought her. I like her very much. I would feel uncomfortable if I can't see her." Yu Xiaobai almost believed the lie he told.

"If you want to see him, you can come to my priest's house." After hearing her explanation, Lan Moqiu curled up the corners of his mouth into a faint smile.

"Okay, that's what you said. Whenever I miss Xue'er, I will go to the Priest's House to see her." Yu Xiaobai said as he excitedly picked up Zi Yan.

Lan Moqiu looked at Yu Xiaobai in confusion. It had been three years, so how come he hadn't noticed that there was such a cute girl by Sa Yulong's side?

"This priest's words are as good as gold. Okay! We are leaving." Lan Moqiu took Zi Yan handed to him by Yu Xiaobai and led Jin Xuan away from Yunji Villa.

Looking back, Helan Ruofeng was still standing there motionless.

"Ruofeng, aren't you going home yet?" Yu Xiaobai walked to Helan Ruofeng and looked at him with a puzzled look.

"I'll return your cloak to you and then you can leave." Helan Ruofeng said as he reached out to untie the knot on his chest.

"No, it's icy and snowy here, and you still have a long way to go. What if you freeze to death halfway?" Yu Xiaobai quickly grabbed his hand.

Anyway, Zi Yan has a lot of these cloaks, and Zi Yun also has many of the same ones. They were all worn by Sa Yulong but she didn’t like them anymore and threw them to them. They are all quite thick.

"I, I..." Helan Ruofeng's cheeks flushed when Yu Xiaobai suddenly grabbed his hand, and he began to stutter.

"Why are you blushing again? I just held your hand!" Seeing his expression, Yu Xiaobai was so scared that he quickly let go of his hand. It was just a hand grab, right? How could it be a temperature control?

"Don't mention me, I have many other cloaks, this one is for you. If we meet again someday, you just have to give it back to me." Yu Xiaobai said decisively, walked up to him and gave him a big hug, then turned around and walked into the gate of Yunji Villa without looking back.

Helan Ruofeng was stunned by her sudden behavior. After he reacted, he couldn't help but smile slightly and turned to walk towards the foot of Danxia Peak.

Under Danxia Peak

Heiyu looked at Lan Moqiu and his group with a curious look as they left. At this time, Zhu Ji came to his side.

"Do you think the high priest of the Star-Moon Dynasty looks familiar? Have we seen him somewhere before?"

Hei Yu looked back at Zhu Ji and rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"I'm asking you a question. Are you deaf?" Zhu Ji reached out and patted Hei Yu.

"I don't know, I don't remember, don't ask me, you follower..." Hei Yu said and ran away.

Zhu Ji stamped her feet angrily and hurried to catch up.

As soon as the two monsters left, Helan Ruofeng arrived.

"Are these two monsters going after Brother Jin Xuan? Should I follow and protect him? But with the high priest accompanying him, he should be fine, right? That high priest seems quite mysterious." Helan Ruofeng changed his mind and decided not to follow Jin Xuan any further.

Just like that, Jin Xuan returned to the Xingyue Dynasty and continued to serve as the little emperor seriously.

Helan Ruofeng returned to the legendary island and lived his life as a fisherman.

Where is Yu Xiaobai?

Yu Xiaobai was in a miserable situation. Although she finally passed the test and officially became a new disciple of Yunji Villa, and moved from the maid's side hall to the residence of new disciples, the owner of this body, Zi Yan, offended the eldest lady of Yunji Villa, Sa Yulong.

Who is Sa Yulong? She is the only daughter of Sa Hun, the owner of Yunji Villa. She was raised like a star by a group of people since she was a child.

Sa Hurricane is honest and upright in everything except when it comes to his daughter, he becomes foolish and incompetent.

All of this can be attributed to Sa Yulong's mother, Sa Hun's wife. Sa Yulong's mother and Sa Hun were senior and junior brothers and sisters, and they grew up together, and it was a natural progression from knowing each other, falling in love, to getting married.

However, the good times did not last long. Sayulong's mother died unexpectedly during childbirth, leaving Sayulong and Sahun to depend on each other. Since then, in order to make up for the lack of motherly love for her daughter, Sahun doted on her daughter and almost granted her every request.

Over time, Sa Yulong developed an arrogant and domineering character.

The new disciples knew that Yu Xiaobai had offended the senior sister Sa Yulong, so they targeted her everywhere, tripped her up, made things difficult for her, and sometimes even secretly hid her food to let her starve.

Poor Xiaobai the fish could only eat rotten food every day, and sometimes he even had nothing to eat.

Who is Yu Xiaobai? She was the one who didn't even help when the soy sauce bottle fell over. Now she not only has no food to eat, but she is also forced to practice again and again. After practicing, she is forced to do a lot of work, such as washing vegetables and clothes. She is told to do whatever is tiring.

Yu Xiaobai cursed those guys who bullied her from beginning to end in her heart, hoping that one day all of these guys would be under her feet.

On this day, Yu Xiaobai finished practicing the spells taught by his senior brother as usual, washed the mountain of clothes, and then dragged his exhausted body to the dining room to eat.

However, when she arrived at the dining room, she found that her food had been secretly hidden again.

Her heart was filled with grievance and helplessness, and she could only sit on the stool in a daze. Her thoughts gradually drifted away, and tears rolled down her eyes unconsciously.

"You shameless girl, you actually dare to cry?" A harsh voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence in the dining room.

"Yes, she seemed to be crying," another voice echoed.

"How many days has she not had a full meal?" someone asked curiously.

"How do I know she hasn't had a full meal in several days?" another voice said jokingly.

"Didn't you remember it for her?" someone else asked.
