Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

Lan Moqiu was confused for a moment. The feeling seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

After doing everything, he looked at the man and the dog thoughtfully, and fell into deep thought for a while, until Yu Xiaobai beside him woke up again.

Yu Xiaobai opened her eyes, looked at the white puppy's paws, and looked at Zi Yan who was sleeping beside her. A feeling of loneliness surged in her heart. She was a dog again, and would have to run around barefoot on the ground again.

Suddenly, there was a movement outside.

"What's the matter?" Lan Moqiu asked.

"Sir, the shadow guard has sent a message that His Majesty has been looking for someone on the street with his secret guards since yesterday. It seems that he is looking for Miss Sa's maid Zi Yan." Long Xiao's voice came in a neither loud nor soft voice.

"Got it. Get someone to watch him and make sure he doesn't get into trouble." Lan Moqiu instructed.

When Yu Xiaobai heard this, he jumped up excitedly and wagged his tail at Lan Moqiu.

"You want to find them? But you are no longer the person they are looking for." Lan Moqiu understood Yu Xiaobai's thoughts. Jin Xuan knew that she came to the imperial city and was in danger, so he went to find her in such a high-profile manner.

She was very touched, at least there was someone who cared about her.

"Do you know why Zi Yan acted like that in front of the Kunlun Magic Mirror that day?" Lan Moqiu glanced at Zi Yan lying on the bed and waved his long sleeves to set up a barrier.

"Don't worry, she can't hear what we say now?" Lan Moqiu explained again.

"..." Yu Xiaobai tilted his head in confusion and listened to his explanation. Isn't it because Zi Yan has a deep connection with the immortal?

“The Kunlun Divine Mirror can not only reveal whether a mortal has a destiny to become an immortal, it can even reveal the cause and effect of her past and future lives, her past marriage, and her predetermined fate.” After Lan Moqiu finished speaking, he glanced at the sleeping Zi Yan.

"Zi Yan's zodiac sign corresponds to the first of the seven eastern constellations - Jiao. This is an indescribable sign. She is the phoenix, the king of birds, which is one in a million. As the saying goes, she was born with the fate of a phoenix. She is the fate of a successor to a country. The prophecy of the magic mirror is not about fate but destiny."

After Lan Moqiu finished speaking, he reached out and held Yu Xiaobai in his arms, gently stroking her head.

"Oh my God! I didn't expect Zi Yan to be the future queen of Xinyue Kingdom? Then can't Lan Moqiu know the secrets of heaven? Will he also know where I came from?" Yu Xiaobai was secretly shocked while enjoying Lan Moqiu's touch.

"Shall we take Zi Yan to the guest room?" Lan Moqiu asked.

Yu Xiaobai had no choice but to jump down to the ground and wait quietly.

Lan Moqiu picked up Zi Yan, led Yu Xiaobai out of the secret room and back to the ground, and placed her in the guest room.

"Brother Lan? Zi Yan?" Sa Yulong saw Lan Moqiu holding a girl from a distance. When she got closer and found out it was Zi Yan, she was furious and frowned unconsciously.

"Why is Miss Sa still here?" Lan Moqiu asked in a cold tone. He didn't want to see Sa Yulong, this cruel and ruthless woman.

"Brother Lan... Zi Yan is from our Yunji Villa, and I have her indenture contract." Sa Yulong said this with a hint of threat in her tone.

"Oh?" Lan Moqiu stopped and turned around. His charming eyes looked extremely cold and he stared at Sa Yulong.

"Also, Xue'er, I bought it too." Sa Yulong said something a little self-righteously, pointing at Yu Xiaobai on the ground.

Yu Xiaobai was so frightened that he immediately jumped behind Lan Moqiu and looked at Sa Yulong vigilantly.

"Humph!" Lan Moqiu sneered and ignored Sa Yulong. He directly carried Zi Yan back to the guest room.

Yu Xiaobai followed him into the room closely.

"Haha, you are quite good at judging the situation!" Lan Moqiu praised Yu Xiaobai.

"Of course. I don't have any other skills, but judging the situation is my forte." Yu Xiaobai felt a little complacent after being praised.

"Sir, the emperor is here." Long Xiao suddenly appeared outside the door.

"Just let him in." Lan Moqiu was not the kind of person who liked to hide things.

"High Priest, I heard that you saved Miss Zi Yan, is that true? Let me see where she is?" Jin Xuan's voice arrived before he even showed up.

Lan Moqiu didn't say anything, but stood up and stepped aside.

Jin Xuan and Helan Ruofeng entered the room one after another. The moment Yu Xiaobai saw them, he was so happy that he forgot that he was a dog and rushed towards the two of them excitedly.

Helan Ruofeng was so frightened that he jumped high. After seeing that it was her, he bent down and touched her head, then looked around the room anxiously.

Jin Xuan even walked past her and walked towards Zi Yan who was lying on the bed.

Yu Xiaobai felt a sense of loss in his heart. He turned around and quietly walked out of the door, curling up alone on the ground by the door.

The person who had clearly promised to treat her to all kinds of delicacies now doesn't recognize her. The person who had promised to take care of her just patted her head. She felt that all his enthusiasm was in vain.

Jin Xuan rushed to the bed, sat down, grabbed Zi Yan's hand and called her affectionately.

"Zi Yan... Miss Zi Yan, wake up, Zi Yan..." His voice was very soft, and his eyes revealed an unconcealable tenderness.

Helan Ruofeng's passion suddenly froze the moment he saw Jin Xuan grabbing Zi Yan's hand.

Could it be... a bold guess sounded in his mind.

If Brother Jin Xuan also likes Miss Zi Yan, how should he deal with it?

"Hmm..." Zi Yan slowly woke up with a moan. When she saw the person in front of her clearly, she was a little at a loss.

Jin Xuan, the Emperor of the Crescent Moon Kingdom, is my teammate and partner during the adventure.

Helan Ruofeng, a young man from an isolated island in the East, his teammate and partner in the game

Lan Moqiu, the patron saint of the Crescent Kingdom, is said to have lived for hundreds of years.

And I am lying on the bed at the moment, yes, on the bed, that is to say.

Zi Yan excitedly stretched out her hand and looked again and again, and touched her face again and again. She was extremely happy in her heart, she was finally herself again, and she looked around the room but didn't see Xue'er, guessing that she must have turned back into a dog and hid somewhere to be sad.

"Zi Yan, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Don't worry, I have already put the brothel owner who bullied you in jail, and the brothel has also been sealed off." Jin Xuan immediately listed his great achievements as if he was presenting a treasure.

"Your Majesty..." Zi Yan stepped back a little from Jin Xuan in fear.

"Zi Yan, you don't need to call me Your Majesty, just call me by my name like Brother Helan." After Jin Xuan finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Helan Ruofeng who had been silent.

"Brother Jin Xuan, Miss Zi Yan may be too tired. Let's not disturb her rest for now!" Helan Ruofeng persuaded.

The first time he saw Zi Yan, he felt distressed. The clever and lively girl had now become a skinny girl, which showed how much she had suffered in the past year.

"Um, yes, you should have a good rest first. I will go back to the palace and ask someone to prepare delicious food for you." Jin Xuan said excitedly and stood up and walked out.

"Brother Jin Xuan, I will stay here to take care of Miss Zi Yan first!"

Helan Ruofeng suddenly didn't want to go to the palace so much. He wanted to stay here and spend more time with Zi Yan. He had a bad feeling that maybe in the near future, Miss Zi Yan might live in that magnificent imperial city.

Jin Xuan left with his followers, leaving Lan Moqiu and Helan Ruofeng behind.

"High Priest, can I stay in your house for a few days?" Helan Ruofeng asked frankly.

"Of course, if you are willing, you can stay as long as you want." Lan Moqiu didn't dislike Helan Ruofeng, so he naturally welcomed him to stay.

"Then I would like to thank the high priest." Helan Ruofeng bowed to him politely.

It was this courtesy that shocked Lan Moqiu's heart.

"Young Master Helan, is this way of saluting the same as your hometown?" Lan Moqiu asked directly.

"No, this is the etiquette my master taught me." Helan Ruofeng answered politely.

"May I ask what is your master's name?" Lan Moqiu asked again.

"The master didn't tell me his name, he just said that if I like, I can call him Old Lady Bu." Helan Ruofeng said.

Lan Moqiu was shocked again, but pretended nothing had happened.

"Young Helan, you can live in the room next door. Someone will deliver your three meals a day. If you need anything, just tell Long Xiao or Aji. I won't bother you for now." After Lan Moqiu finished speaking, he strode out of the house without looking back without waiting for Helan Ruofeng to reply.

Old Bu? There is no such person in this world, but there happens to be such a person in the upper world, and he is an old acquaintance of his - Taibu Xingjun.

But why did Taibu Xingjun come to the lower world to accept Helan Ruofeng as his apprentice? Could it be that Helan Ruofeng was a god from the upper world who came down to the mortal world to experience tribulations?

Lan Moqiu didn't dare to think too much. His identity was not suitable to be known to the world, so he had to hide it carefully.

When Helan Ruofeng saw Lan Moqiu leave, he sat down in front of Zi Yan's bed.

"Miss Zi Yan, do you feel better?" He asked shyly in a soft voice, his tone more gentle than ever before.

"Mr. Helan, thank you for your concern. I'm fine now." Zi Yan replied politely and distantly.

"Miss Zi Yan, didn't you call me Ruofeng before? Why do you suddenly change to calling me Young Master now?" Helan Ruofeng asked puzzledly.

It has only been a year since they last met. They were so close then, why are they so distant now? Is it because he didn't come back to see her for this year, leaving her alone to suffer in Yunji Villa?

"You misunderstood, Master Helan. After all, there is a difference between men and women. If I call you by your name, I'm afraid others will misunderstand me." Zi Yan explained carefully, but secretly complained in her heart, it was all Xue'er's fault. She had no sense of gender distinction, which led to these two people misunderstanding her.

"This? That's right, the girl is sensible. I was rude." Helan Ruofeng suddenly realized that as a man, he was presumptuous to guard a woman's bed, which was indeed damaging to the girl's reputation.

"I'm glad you know that. Zi Yan needs to rest, so please do the same." Zi Yan glanced out the window. It was getting dark, so she ordered everyone to leave.

"Okay, Miss Zi Yan, you should go to bed early. I'll live next door if anything happens." Helan Ruofeng walked out of the door, looking back every few steps, and closed the door for her.

"Oh, Ruofeng is out?" Yu Xiaobai stood up excitedly and circled around Helan Ruofeng happily.

"Your name is Xue'er, right?" Helan Ruofeng squatted down and looked at Yu Xiaobai at eye level. His eyes were still as sunny and warm as before, but with a hint of barely perceptible loneliness.

"No, my name is Yu Xiaobai, the small white fish in the water." Yu Xiaobai called out excitedly to Helan Ruofeng.

"I'm going back to my room. Do you want to come with me?" He stretched out a hand and invited Yu Xiaobai.

Yu Xiaobai rubbed his hand happily, and he easily picked up Yu Xiaobai and walked towards the room.

"Master Helan, you can't take Xue'er away. She has to go back to have dinner with the high priest." Aji hurried over with a tray in his hand. There were many delicacies on the tray. Behind him was a maid with some porridge on the tray.

"Oh, the priest said that Miss Zi Yan cannot eat greasy food, so the porridge is for her. And this rich meal is for you, Master Helan." Aji explained clearly.

He looks only about seven or eight years old and is very cute.

The maid brought the porridge to Zi Yan's room.

"Mr. Helan, please put Xue'er down quickly. I want to take her away." Aji said slowly to Helan Ruofeng.

Helan Ruofeng then put Xue'er down awkwardly and took the tray from Aji.

"Thank you, brother Aji!" Helan Ruofeng said gently.

"Mr. Helan, you don't have to be polite. I'll leave now." After saying this, Aji bent down, hugged Xue'er, and walked out of the yard.

"Xue'er, why did you suddenly disappear today? I was scared to death." Aji said worriedly to Xue'er as he walked.

"What on earth happened today?"

Yu Xiaobai was confused about what happened today. She only remembered that she wanted to die and hit Mu Cheng on the bed hard. Then her head seemed to bleed. After that, she seemed to see a white shadow and a black figure. Then she knew nothing. When she woke up, she was in the basement of the high priest.

Could it be that the white thing she saw before she fainted was Xue'er, and the figure in black was Lan Moqiu?

This makes sense. Lan Moqiu is really her lucky benefactor. Last time, when she was almost drowned by someone, he appeared and saved her.

Lan Moqiu had saved her twice. How could she repay him for saving her life? Was she really going to be a dog and stay by his side for the rest of her life?

"Are you here?" Lan Moqiu asked casually, as if greeting an old friend.

Her tableware had already been set out on one side of the dining table. It all looked new, and contained all the dishes on the table.

Yu Xiaobai suddenly felt a little shy. After hesitating for a long time, she pretended to be indifferent and jumped up.

"Sir, Xue'er hasn't eaten like this for a long time. Why did she do it again today?" Aji asked curiously.

"What do you think? Let's eat quickly." Lan Moqiu did not answer Aji's question.

When Xue'er came back from Yunji Villa, she was inexplicably unhappy for several days and never came to the table to eat again. He thought that this little beast had changed his nature and learned his lesson.

Yu Xiaobai was crying in her heart. She hated eating like this, but the food was so good that she could only eat while cursing her bad luck in her heart.

Lan Moqiu watched her eat with some surprise, a gentle smile on his face.

After dinner, Lan Moqiu wiped the grease from her mouth and head with a wet wipe as she did in the past.

Yu Xiaobai looked at Lan Moqiu seriously and felt a little warm in her heart. He looked to be in his twenties or thirties, neither married nor with anyone he liked. If she were a few years older, maybe it would be nice to marry him.

Oh, what are you thinking about? Yu Xiaobai cursed himself for being boring. He had already decided to be a dog, so how could he fall in love with his master?

"I feel a little full after eating. Should I go out for a walk to digest the food?" Yu Xiaobai wondered whether he should go out for a walk.

"Aji, has Sa Yulong left?" Lan Moqiu suddenly asked.
