Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" As soon as Helan Ruofeng and Zi Yan arrived at the door of the priest's house, they saw a man in black acting stealthily, so they asked directly.

"Who am I?" Hei Yu heard someone asking him/herself, and turned back with disdain. Seeing that it was Helan Ruofeng and Zi Yan, he squinted at them with some disdain.

"Why are you sneaking around here?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Helan Ruofeng asked again.

"Lan Mansion? Whose mansion is this? Why is it built so large?" Hei Yu asked while looking at the plaque on the door.

"This is the residence of the current priest, Lord Nan." Helan Ruofeng said directly.

"The residence of Lord Lan Moqiu, the High Priest of Xinyue Nation. You are not from Xinyue." Zi Yan repeated deliberately.

"I came from the West Sea. I saw that this house was big and special, so I stopped here to take a look." Hei Yu made an excuse that he himself didn't believe.

"Please leave as soon as possible after reading this." Helan Ruofeng directly asked him to leave.

"Let's go now, let's go immediately, let's go right away." After saying this, Hei Yu ran away in a hurry.

"Master Helan, why did you chase him away like this?" Zi Yan asked puzzledly.

"He is not a good person." Helan Ruofeng said directly. He could sense a strange aura from the man from a distance. He did not look like a demon, but he was definitely not an ordinary human either.

"Oh." Zi Yan nodded understandingly.

"Your Majesty, there has been a sudden strange phenomenon in the lower world just now. It may be related to what happened in Mixu realm last time." Taibu Xingjun reported with a serious face.

"What do you think, Star Lord?" asked the Emperor of Heaven.

"Replying to Your Majesty, I believe that the strange phenomenon in Mixu last time must have been caused by someone from the demon world secretly breaking into the human world. The strange phenomenon in the lower world today must be related to the demon clan." Taibu Xingjun replied.

"In this case, we should send people to investigate the lower world as soon as possible and make plans early." The Emperor of Heaven thought.

"I am also responsible for this matter, so let me go down!" Taibu Xingjun volunteered. He had sneaked down to the mortal world before, and this time he could go openly.

"Okay, take Bai Qiyang with you." The Emperor went to Taibu Star Lord to ask for permission, and asked him to take Bai Qiyang, the younger brother of the Guardian God, with him.

"Your Majesty, Bai Qiyang is not up to the task. How about letting me accompany the old star master to the lower world?" When the guardian general Bai Ji heard that the Lord of Heaven wanted his beloved brother to go to the lower world, he immediately interceded for him.

"Bai Ji, you have guarded the heaven for tens of thousands of years, but your younger brother Bai Qiyang has only been obsessed with brewing wine and refining elixirs and has achieved nothing. It's time to let him gain some experience." The Emperor of Heaven directly rejected Bai Ji's plea.

The sky beyond the sky...

In the secret realm of the Thoreau Forest, several mushroom huts were built next to each other. In the yard, pottery jars of various shapes were placed, and all kinds of strange herbs were drying. Thick white smoke was coming out of a room, and Bai Qiyang was using his spiritual energy to activate the Samadhi True Fire to refine pills.

"Little Bai Immortal Lord... Little Bai Immortal Lord..." Taibu Xingjun came in a hurry. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Bai Qiyang's face flushed and his head almost stuck in the stove.

"Xiaobai Xianjun, what are you doing?" Taibu Xingjun came closer to check with a curious look on his face.

"Old Star Lord, why are you here again?" As soon as Bai Qiyang saw Taibu Star Lord, he immediately stood in front of his alchemy furnace vigilantly. Every time this old man came, he would shamelessly take away his pills.

"Old man, I am not here today to plot against your elixir. I have something important to discuss with you." Taibu Xingjun said with a righteous look on his face.

"What serious business can you have?" Bai Qiyang didn't believe him and still watched his every move vigilantly.

"Emperor Weiqing has come down to the mortal world to save the reincarnation of the Demon King. The Heavenly Emperor is worried, so he wants you and me to go down to the mortal world to investigate." Taibu Xingjun explained his purpose.

"You... me... two of us?" Bai Qiyang didn't believe it at all. For the past ten thousand years, he had only focused on various elixirs and fine wines, and even rarely went out of the Thoreau Secret Realm.

Why did the Heavenly Monarch want him to go down to the mortal world at this moment? He was neither good at literature nor martial arts. If he encountered the demon tribe, wouldn't he be used as a springboard for others to improve their cultivation?

"That's right, let's go!" Taibu said and directly pulled Bai Qiyang away.

"Let's go, let's go. Why are you going? It won't be too late to leave after I refine my top-grade Ningyuan Pill." After saying this, Bai Qiyang no longer paid attention to Taibu Xingjun and began to use his spiritual power to enhance the Samadhi True Fire.

"This matter is urgent. How can Immortal Lord Xiaobai waste time for a mere Ningyuan Pill?" Taibu Xingjun advised anxiously.

"Old Star Lord, instead of nagging here, you might as well help me. I have added hundreds of ingredients such as thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, and purple jade ice crystals condensed from ancient times into this furnace of Ningyuan Dan. There are only three of them, and eating one can increase your spiritual power by three thousand years." Bai Qiyang said while showing off proudly.

"After I eat these three Ningyuan Pills and increase my spiritual power by ten thousand years, I won't be afraid of the demons and monsters when I go to the lower realms."

"Three thousand years?" Taibu Xingjun's eyes lit up when he heard it. If this top-grade Ningyuan Pill was given to Wei Qing to eat, wouldn't he be able to transcend the tribulation and ascend to his rightful place?

"Of course, this thousand-year-old elixir is too difficult to refine. I'm afraid I can't do it on my own..." Bai Qiyang patted his chest and promised but pretended to be embarrassed.

"Okay, old man will help you right away." Taibu Xingjun immediately stepped forward to help Bai Qiyang refine the elixir.

The High Priest's Palace...

When Yu Xiaobai woke up again, her mind was completely confused. How did she end up in this underground secret room again? Was this a dream or reality? She raised her hand. It was a human hand. She slapped herself hard. It hurt. It hurt a lot.

"So I am still Zi Yan, but what about the memory about Xue'er? Was it a dream?" She muttered to herself and gently lifted the quilt. She was not wearing any clothes. What was going on?

Beside the bed, there was still Lan Moqiu's beautiful face, and the scene seemed familiar. If it was real this time, then wasn't it fake the last time?

So, it was fake that she turned into Xue'er in the dream, it was fake that Jin Xuan invited them to dinner, and it was also fake that Lan Moqiu took her to follow those three guys!

But why was she lying naked in this secret room? She looked around the secret room and it was exactly the same as what she saw in her dream.

"Awake?" Lan Moqiu's voice sounded slowly.

"Hmm? Lan Moqiu?" The last time she dreamed of this scene, she seemed to have thrown herself into Lan Moqiu's arms and cried.

Maybe it was because she had slept for too long or had that long dream, but now she didn’t feel like crying at all.

"Put on these clothes yourself." Lan Moqiu turned around and handed her clothes from the table beside him.

"Just make do with it for now. If it doesn't fit, redo it." Lan Moqiu looked at her seriously and said, then he stood up and walked out.

Yu Xiaobai took the clothes and looked over them. It was a nude pink dress that was well-maintained from inside to outside and seemed to be new.

She was a little shy, so she wrapped herself in the quilt and put on her clothes before getting up.

"I'm dressed, you can come in." She shouted outside.

"Hmm..." Lan Moqiu looked at her carefully after coming in.

"Thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I would have been sold by that brothel owner." She said with gratitude.

"I may not be able to work like a slave for you, but I can be your maid and take care of you for the rest of your life. You don't lack a maid to do your laundry, but as long as you think you can use me, I will definitely not refuse." Yu Xiaobai said seriously.

After hearing what he said, Lan Moqiu looked at her with a strange look in his eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" she was puzzled. Wasn't it right to say that?

"This is all you remember? What about what happened afterwards?" Lan Moqiu was even more puzzled.

"What happened next? What happened next? Wasn't it me who was tricked into going to the brothel? Did you go and save me?" Yu Xiaobai also opened his mouth in surprise?

"..." Lan Moqiu was stunned by what she said. Did she forget what happened afterwards?

"Do you still remember your name?" Lan Moqiu asked tentatively.

"Isn't my name Zi Yan?" Yu Xiaobai was confused by Lan Moqiu's question. She and Zi Yan exchanged souls. Zi Yan was Xue'er, and she is now Zi Yan, isn't that right?

"Oh!" Lan Moqiu sighed silently, took out a mirror and handed it to Yu Xiaobai.

Yu Xiaobai didn't understand what Lan Moqiu wanted to express, but he still took the mirror and looked at it.

"Bang..." the mirror fell to the ground.

Yu Xiaobai picked it up in a panic. She looked at Lan Moqiu at a loss, then looked at the mirror in her hand. After taking a few deep breaths, she raised the mirror again in front of her eyes.

"Is this real?" The girl in the mirror was no longer the cute Zi Yan, but a little girl with a little baby fat, a round nose, a small mouth, thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"I know this person, it's Yu Xiaobai! Haha, Yu Xiaobai, Yu Xiaobai?" Yu Xiaobai talked to himself while looking at the person in the mirror, tears welling up in his eyes as he spoke.

"Lan Moqiu... This is Yu Xiaobai, it's really Yu Xiaobai... Woo woo woo..." Yu Xiaobai excitedly went forward and hugged Lan Moqiu and cried loudly. She never dreamed that one day she would see this face that truly belonged to her again.

"Stop crying and let me go first." Lan Moqiu pulled her away helplessly. It was not a good behavior to hug someone and cry at every turn.

Yu Xiaobai realized the embarrassment after hearing Lan Moqiu's words and quickly let him go.

"Lan Moqiu, why am I like this?" She wiped her tears and asked with a look of surprise.

"You, I don't know why this is happening. Now that you have transformed into a human, you need an identity." Lan Moqiu said thoughtfully.

"Transformation? What does that mean?" Yu Xiaobai thought about it carefully, and the burning pain flashed by. Fu Shenglou, Jin Xuan, Helan Ruofeng, Zi Yan... After transforming into Xue'er, Jin Xuan ignored her, and Helan Ruofeng forced her to cover his feet. Have she and Zi Yan been transformed back? She hugged Lan Moqiu and cried, saying that all this was not a dream, but had really happened.

So, she has now become a legendary monster? A monster? A demon clan? A demon clan sounds better.

"That's right, Xue'er, you have a very high level of comprehension. In just four years, you have been able to transform into a human form. If you practice diligently in the future, you will be able to become an immortal." Lan Moqiu looked at Yu Xiaobai with a loving look as if his daughter had grown up.

"Xue'er? Can you call me Yu Xiaobai from now on? Or Xiaoyu is also fine." Yu Xiaobai immediately grabbed Lan Moqiu's sleeve and begged coquettishly.

Xiaoyu is the nickname given to her by her parents and classmates. She doesn’t want to be called Xueer, the name of her dog.

"Then, you can't call me by my name anymore, okay?" Lan Moqiu smiled and put forward a condition to her.

"Should I call you Lord Priest like them? You are only in your early twenties and not yet thirty, right? How about I call you brother?" Yu Xiaobai said quickly. She was not used to calling him Master, Lord Priest or something like that.

"You can practice with me and just call me Master." Lan Moqiu settled for the second best option, thinking calling him Master was better than calling him by his name directly.

"Well... okay, although you haven't taught me anything, since you've been so nice to me, I'll call you Master! Master!" Yu Xiaobai said as he affectionately put his arm around Lan Moqiu's.

Lan Moqiu suddenly pulled Yu Xiaobai's hand and cast a spell. By the time Yu Xiaobai reacted, it was already completed.

"This is a thread that connects us. If you are in danger after we separate, I can sense it at any time." Lan Moqiu looked at her and explained.

"Thank you, Master Lan..." Yu Xiaobai grinned.

When Helan Ruofeng and Zi Yan returned to the yard, they saw a chubby girl in pink clothes standing in the yard waiting for them.

The girl has fair skin, two slightly thick eyebrows, a pair of big round eyes, a round nose, a small mouth, and a simple bun. She looks very pleasing at first glance.

"Who are you?" Zi Yan asked first.

Helan Ruofeng also looked at him curiously but did not say anything.

Yu Xiaobai put his hands behind his back, tilted his head back, and smiled as brightly as the morning glow.

"Guess..." She blinked at Zi Yan as if she was looking at an old friend she hadn't seen for a long time.

"...I don't know her." Zi Yan looked around at her and said three words coldly.

"I am..." Yu Xiaobai was about to say who he was when Lan Moqiu's words of warning immediately rang out in his mind.

The demon race has been extinct in the human world for a long time. You are not a spiritual creature, not a real spiritual pet. Remember not to tell your true identity to anyone else.

"I am Yu Xiaobai, the little disciple of the High Priest. You can call me Xiaoyu." She stepped forward and held Zi Yan's hand affectionately, but she dodged.

"Zi Yan, why are you..." Zi Yan's behavior hurt Yu Xiaobai very much. She slowly put down her hand and stared at Zi Yan blankly.

"Miss Yu, I'm not familiar with you." Zi Yan said coldly.

"Miss Zi Yan..." Helan Ruofeng looked at Zi Yan with some confusion.

"I'll go back to my room first." Zi Yan ignored Helan Ruofeng and went straight back to her room.

"Miss Yu, Miss Zi Yan is not usually like this. She must be tired today." Helan Ruofeng stayed where he was and explained to Yu Xiaobai.

"Yeah, I know." Yu Xiaobai held back the urge to cry, gave Helan Ruofeng a bitter smile, then turned and left the yard.

Lan Moqiu arranged her to live next to Aji's room, in the same yard as Lan Moqiu's, saying that it would be more convenient to take care of her this way.

As for Xue'er's sudden disappearance, Lan Moqiu said he didn't know. After Aji asked so many questions, he simply said that she was taken away by Sa Yulong.

People bought the dog with their own money, so if they want to take it away, they can take it away.

Aji was sad again, but he liked Yu Xiaobai who suddenly appeared very much and insisted on being her senior brother.

Yu Xiaobai is naturally very happy that he can be a human being. He no longer has to look up at people and he can walk around and have a look.

It’s just that Lan Moqiu told her a bunch of taboos as a demon, such as not revealing one’s true identity in front of people and not using magic at will, but Yu Xiaobai didn’t know any of the things he said.

She didn't even understand how she had changed from Xue'er to her current appearance. She had never learned any magic, so how could she do it? She could recite the immortal sect magic by heart, but it was useless and she couldn't use it.

"Is this really useful?" She touched the jade on her chest and murmured. Lan Moqiu said that this jade had a restriction set by him, and that if Yu Xiaobai wore it, she could hide her identity as a demon. He knew nothing, and the only person he could trust was Lan Moqiu.

On the second day after her transformation, she got up early in the morning to have breakfast with Lan Moqiu, picked up food for him, talked to him, and called him "Master" very fluently.
