Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

Chapter 22 What Life Should a Dog Live

"Yes, yes, I have written it all down for him! One day, two days, three days, five days, ten days, fifteen days? Twenty days? Oh...it seems like several months. It seems like she hasn't had a full meal for several months."

The person who said this was actually Mo Xiaotan. Except for Ling Yuwei, who was eliminated from her team, the other three all passed the level successfully.

She looked down on children of common people, so how could she look up to Zi Yan, who was born a maid?

"No wonder she cried out of grievance." Someone else sighed.

"Does she think that if she cries, everyone will sympathize with her and stop messing with her?" another person sneered.

When Yu Xiaobai heard these words, she felt even more wronged. She had no grudges against these people in the past or in the present, and she had never even met them. Why did they always treat her like this, leaving her without even a full meal? She felt more and more helpless and panicked. When would this day end?

"Wow..." Yu Xiaobai hugged his head and burst into tears.

"Hey! Hey! What are you doing? Don't act like we're bullying you." A male disciple spoke while pinching Yu Xiaobai's arm from time to time.

She remembered this person, a man named Tong Yi. Every time she was bullied, this man was the one who scolded her the most harshly. This time he even pinched her arm. This was simply intolerable.

Yu Xiaobai was tired of crying and her mood calmed down a little. However, when Tong Yi pulled her, she suddenly lost her mind. She stood up and grabbed his hand as quickly as possible and bit it.

Tong Yi naturally didn't expect Yu Xiaobai to fight back like this. He screamed in pain and tried hard to free his hand from Yu Xiaobai's mouth.

"Let go, no, let go, let go quickly, believe it or not, I will beat you to death?" After Tong Yi said this, he raised his free hand and waved towards Yu Xiaobai's head.

"Stop!" A stern shout was heard, and Zhou Ze glared at Tong Yi angrily.

Tong Yi subconsciously let go of his hand, but Yu Xiaobai still bit his arm tightly and refused to let go.

"What's going on? What happened to Junior Sister Zi Yan?" Bu Bu asked with some confusion.

"Tell me, what did you do to him?" Zhou Ze pointed at Tong Yi and asked angrily. The disciples of Yunji Villa have always lived in peace with each other, and it has been a long time since anyone took the opportunity to bully anyone.

"I... I just said a few words to this ignorant girl, but I didn't expect that she would suddenly bite me like a dog and wouldn't let go." Tong Yi was a little panicked, but still pretended to be calm.

"Junior Sister Zi Yan, Junior Sister Zi Yan, Senior Brother is here. If you have any grievances, just tell him and he will take care of it for you. Please relax." Bu Duo hurriedly stepped forward and gently comforted Yu Xiaobai.

After hearing Buduo's voice, Yu Xiaobai's body trembled slightly, and she slowly let go of Tong Yi, looking around in confusion. When she saw Zhou Ze and Buduo clearly, tears welled up in her eyes again.

"Senior Brother? Senior Brother is here?" Yu Xiaobai muttered to himself, then looked at Bu Duo, his eyes full of helplessness and fear.

Bu Duo patted her back with some concern to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, Junior Sister Zi Yan, with Senior Brother here, no one can hurt you. Who dares to bully you? Senior Brother Buduo will help you beat him up." Yu Xiaobai leaned into Buduo's arms. He hadn't had anyone to rely on for a long time. Even if this embrace was given by a stranger, he wanted to lean on it for a minute.

"They bully me, they bully me every day. They wash all my dirty clothes and secretly hide my food so that I can't eat it. They watch me starve every day and laugh at me every day. Why do they bully me like this?" Yu Xiaobai sobbed loudly as he expressed his grievances, wiping his tears and snot on his body as he spoke.

Bu Duo was almost driven to collapse by him, and had to pat her back gently to comfort her.

"Senior Brother and I will help you decide. You are our cutest junior sister. If they dare to bully you again in the future, I will beat you up."

Yu Xiaobai gradually calmed down with a little comfort. He slowly raised his head, and when he saw Sa Yulong staring at him, his emotions broke down again.

"Wow... why are you bullying me? Why do you want to bully me? How did I offend you? Why do you let them all bully me?" She looked straight at Sa Yulong and cried miserably.

Zhou Ze and Bu Duo followed her gaze and found that it was Sa Yulong who had been standing behind them. The two looked at each other, and doubts arose in their hearts.

"Could it be that Senior Sister did something to Junior Sister Zi Yan?" Bu Dou asked Zhou Ze in a low voice.

"How should I know? I just found out today that she was bullied." Zhou Ze frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Big Brother, Junior Brothers, why are you looking at me like that? I didn't bully her, and I didn't ask others to bully her. If you don't believe me, just ask every junior brother and sister here." Sa Yulong immediately distanced himself from the matter.

That's right, she did hint to these junior brothers and sisters in private to help her "specially" take care of Yu Xiaobai, but it was just a hint and she never said it directly.

"Big Brother, Big Sister did not ask us to bully Junior Sister Zi Yan. It's just that we don't like her. Why should she, a maid, practice with us? Washing clothes and doing rough housework are her job." Mo Xiaotan didn't have much brains and stood up to refute directly.

"You said that she, a maid, is not worthy of practicing with you?" Zhou Ze asked angrily, staring straight at Mo Xiaotan.

“Junior Sister Mo, you should know that once you enter Yunji Villa, you will forget all your worldly identities. You are all equal here, and no one is more noble than anyone else. You must wash your own clothes and supplies, and we will distribute all your meals, clothing, food, housing and transportation. If you still think you are superior to others, then we will ask the master to send you back to the secular world.” Bu Bu immediately stood up and pointed out Mo Xiaotan’s mistake.

"Brother Buduo, that's not what I meant. Senior Sister, Senior Sister, you know I didn't mean that." Mo Xiaotan was afraid that he would really be expelled from the villa, so he immediately looked at Sa Yulong as if asking for help.

"Junior Sister Mo, why are you looking at me? What senior brother said is the rule of our Yunji Villa. Everyone in Yunji Villa must put aside their worldly status, no matter you are a king, a general, a royal relative, a wealthy family, or a commoner, even if you are a beggar on the street, as long as you enter our Yunji Villa, you will be treated equally." Sa Yulong said righteously.

Of course, she added in her heart that only my maid was not allowed to do so, and neither was my dog.

"Tong Yi, today I happened to catch you bullying Junior Sister Zi Yan. From now on, you will be responsible for washing everyone's clothes for the next month. As for meals, I agree that you can eat, and the same goes for others. If I hear any rumors again, don't blame me, I will not be polite to you." Zhou Ze said seriously.

"A month's worth of laundry?" Tong Yi's eyes widened as big as bells, as if he couldn't believe that Zhou Ze would punish him like this just because of a former maid.

"What? Are you not convinced?" Zhou Ze stared at him intently.

"Just a maid." Tong Yi said again in a clear voice.

"She is your junior sister now. Her performance in passing the levels is better than yours. Are you unwilling to admit that you are not as good as a maid?" Zhou Ze was angered by Tong Yi's prejudice against his status. He said this with gritted teeth. Bu Duo and Sa Yulong had never seen Zhou Ze like this.

"Tong Yi, don't go too far. Just say whether you want to wash or not?" Bu Bu immediately spoke up to stop Tong Yi from saying anything further. This really annoyed the eldest senior brother. If he asked the master to expel Tong Yi from the villa, the master would definitely agree based on his previous preference for him.

"Can I still say I don't want to wash?" Tong Yi received a warning look from Buduo as soon as he finished speaking, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Yu Xiaobai secretly glanced at Sa Yulong in annoyance, and secretly sighed in her heart: This woman is really amazing! It's so easy to get things over with. It seems that the position of the eldest sister is not so easy to shake. Alas, who told her to have a manor owner as a backer? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.

She secretly thought in her heart that since she couldn't change the current situation, she could only take it one step at a time. If she really couldn't stand it anymore, she could just ask the owner to kick her out of Yunji Mountain Villa and then wander around.

Although this may lead to many difficulties, it is at least much better than being bullied and going hungry here.

At this moment, not long after Zhou Ze and Bu Duo left, Mo Xiaotan immediately returned to her original arrogant appearance. She glared at Yu Xiaobai fiercely.

"Don't think that you can live an easy life just because you have the support of the senior brother. Humph, he can't stay here every day to protect you. When he is not around, I have plenty of ways to deal with you!" After saying that, she laughed triumphantly.

The others also burst into laughter when they heard this, and some even ran up to Yu Xiaobai and spit at her.

There was a place in Yu Xiaobai's heart that was so angry, painful, depressed and uncomfortable that it felt like it was about to explode. She wanted to rush forward regardless of everything, kill all these people, tear them to pieces, and let them turn into ashes.

However, she knew she couldn't do that because she was no match for these people. She could beat one or two, but she might not be able to beat two, three, or even more.

"Stupid dog, I let you be lazy every day. If you practice magic well and beat them down one by one, do you still need to be afraid of them? Do you still need to be bullied by them?" Zi Yan also complained aggrievedly at this time.

She lives in the corner of her own body every day, and can feel all of Yu Xiaobai's grievances, anger and unwillingness, as well as her tiredness, helplessness, hunger and panic.

"What's the point of you saying this at this time? I can't beat them anyway, that's the fact." Yu Xiaobai also cried to Zi Yan in grievance.

At this moment, they were the only two who could empathize with each other, so they wanted to protect each other and teach those who bullied them a lesson.

From this day on, Yu Xiaobai no longer spent his days lazily like before, but practiced his skills seriously, working twice as hard as others. Except for his meal time and even sleeping time, he would set aside half of his time for practice.

During this period, people couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks to him, and occasionally they would do some small things behind her back to embarrass her.

However, a year later, her magic had not improved at all. It seemed that her body was not suitable for cultivating immortals at all. She couldn't even learn the basics of sword-flying.

Those who were jealous of her at first because the Kunlun Magic Mirror predicted the light gradually began to laugh at her, and then from ridicule to sympathy.

Yu Xiaobai and Zi Yan both felt like they were a joke, destined to be the laughing stock of everyone from the beginning, but it also made them learn to be tolerant.

Seeing that she had made no progress, Sa Yulong began to turn a blind eye to her practice of magic, and in the end she even stopped asking about it. After all, she was a stupid dog who was destined to achieve nothing. How tall could she grow even if she was allowed to grow wildly?

The East Sea...

The blue sea and the blue sky are clearly separated. The beach is crowded with fishing boats, big and small, new and old, with patched fishing nets hanging on them, and small fish just caught from the deep sea are drying on the racks next to them.

Not far away, a barefoot boy was lying on the beach. His skin had not become dark due to the erosion of the sea breeze. His face, as bright as the morning glow, had two blushes on it. His long eyelashes matched his closed eyes, straight nose, and slightly upturned lips. The sunshine made him look more charming and less tough.

"He Lanxi, quickly call your son back for dinner." A gentle female voice suddenly sounded. It was a very beautiful middle-aged woman. Her worn linen shirt had many patches on it, but it could not hide her stunning beauty.

"I see. What do you mean by my son? Isn't Ruofeng your son?" He Lanxi was mending the fishing nets. When he heard Ying Niang calling him, he said "wife" with a smile on his face.

"Hurry up and call Feng'er back for dinner. You should come back too. Don't make me keep calling him." Ying Niang shouted to He Lanxi with a gentle face.

Hearing his wife's words, He Lanxi stood up and walked towards the beach. He saw his son lying on the beach, closing his eyes and enjoying the sunshine and sea breeze.

"Hey, son, hurry home for dinner. If you're late, your mother will scold you again." He Lanxi started shouting from a distance.

"Dad, you interrupted my sweet dream again."

Hearing his father's voice, Helan Ruofeng opened his eyes, a trace of helplessness revealed on his face.

"Did you dream about your Miss Zi Yan again? Why don't you tell me when you will marry her back to your father to see?" Helan Xi looked at Helan Ruofeng with a funny expression on her face.

Hearing his father's teasing, Helan Ruofeng's face suddenly turned red.

"Dad, you're talking nonsense again. Do you believe I can ask Mom to teach you a lesson?"

After returning to the island, he lived a very interesting life. Every day he accompanied his father to fish at sea and dived into the deep sea to make friends with the creatures on the seabed. He also met a beautiful male mermaid, who told him that the mermaids would only love one person in their lifetime.

Mermaids are born without gender distinction. When they grow up, they will fall in love with someone and suddenly become conscious, and their bodies will mutate and split into male and female. If he falls in love with a female, he will transform into a male, and if the person he likes is a male, he will transform into a female.

Helan Ruofeng once asked the male merman, what would you do if the woman you like doesn’t love you after you transform into a man?

The mermaid told him that once their race fell in love with someone, they would be devoted to that person until death. Even if that person did not love him, he would never forget her and would remain chaste for her all his life.

Helan Ruofeng felt that the love of the mermaids was somewhat sad and beautiful, worthy of praise but not worthy of inheritance. If they didn't love each other anymore, wouldn't it be better to leave as soon as possible? Why did they hang themselves on a crooked tree?

When he thought of love, somewhere in his heart suddenly softened. The woman who was lying on the ground singing, the woman who was yelling and crying without caring about her image, the woman who was afraid that he would be cold and gave him her cloak.
