Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

Helan Ruofeng's sword-controlling skills were slightly different from those taught by the elders of Yunji Villa, and she did not completely trust him at first. Later, she tried both sword-controlling skills and found that the one taught by Helan Ruofeng was much easier to master and more powerful than the one taught by the elders.

"You can steer the sword and hurt people on your second try? Junior Sister Zi Yan, you are so amazing." He praised sincerely.

"Brother, please don't make fun of me." Zi Yan said with an awkward smile.

"The way you treat them today, they may not dare to provoke you easily in the future, but you still have to be careful." Bu Bu warned.

"Don't worry, senior brother. I will be careful." Zi Yan replied.

In addition to being careful and vigilant, she will use the rest of her time to practice the skills she had learned before. Previously, it was Yu Xiaobai who was learning, but since she could hear them, she naturally remembered them all.

What she had to do now was to clear her mind, cultivate her character, and carefully practice everything that Yu Xiaobai had learned from beginning to end, so as to achieve success as soon as possible.

In the Shadowless Cave

Sa Yulong sat curled up on the ground, surrounded by grayish-white stalactites. Besides the sound of dripping water, there was also the whistling sound of the cold wind blowing from the top of the cave.

She hated Zi Yan so much, but she hated that stupid dog who pretended to be half of Xue'er's soul even more. Not only did she make Brother Lan hate her, but she also made her loving father beat her and even locked her up in such a place that was not suitable for human beings.

"Zi Yan, you little stinky girl, when I get out of here, I will tear you into pieces. Brother Lan, just wait for me, one day you will know that you can only belong to me, Sa Yulong." She spoke incoherently while scanning everything in the cave viciously.

Crescent Imperial City

Yu Xiaobai is a very lazy person. Lan Moqiu said that she must be able to protect herself, so she forced her to practice magic and exercise every day.

Yu Xiaobai didn't know what kind of danger she could encounter. She stayed at the main gate of the priest's house all day long, and even when she went out, she was accompanied by Long Xiao and Aji. In other words, even if no one accompanied her out, with her title as the apprentice of Lan Moqiu, the high priest of the New Yue Kingdom, who would dare to cause trouble for her?

Therefore, Yu Xiaobai tried every possible way to be lazy. He spent the whole day either going out for a walk or taking Aji for a stroll.

After hanging out a few times and becoming familiar with each other, she would even leave Aji and Long Xiao behind and go out alone.

There are many places to visit in Xinyue Imperial City, including a whole snack street and food street, cloth workshops and ready-made clothing shops, jade and jewelry shops. She would take a stroll around any place she could enter.

Lan Moqiu's attitude towards her is both teacher and friend, and more often like an old father.

Yu Xiaobai was walking alone on the street, looking here and there, and unknowingly he came to a remote alley.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly heard a fight.

"Shh, don't make any noise." A voice sounded in her ear.

Yu Xiaobai looked carefully and found a strange man standing in front of him. He was dressed in black and his sharp eyes revealed an invisible pressure.

"Who are you?" Yu Xiaobai asked vigilantly.

"Someone you don't know." The man smiled slightly and said coldly.

"What do you want to do?" Yu Xiaobai took a look and found that the people fighting disappeared out of thin air.

"I don't want to do anything, but I want to borrow something from you." The man said, his eyes fixed on Yu Xiaobai's chest.

"Where are you looking at?" Yu Xiaobai asked angrily, glaring at the other person.

"You have a precious treasure on you. It is of no use to you, but it is very important to me." The man pointed at Yu Xiaobai's chest.

Yu Xiaobai looked down and found that her necklace had been exposed at some point. Was this the necklace that Lan Moqiu had exchanged for her in Heihe with the precious magic pill?

"This is the Pi Lingzhu that my master gave me." Yu Xiaobai said.

"That's right. This pearl is worth a fortune and many people are looking for it," said the man.

Yu Xiaobai was shocked. He knew how important this pearl was. But apart from Lan Moqiu and her, only the shopkeeper of Wanbao Pavilion knew that they had taken the pearl away. How did this person know that she had the pearl?

"Little girl, I can give you ten thousand taels of gold, can you give me this pearl?" Yu Xiaobai said as the man looked at her seductively.

"Ten thousand taels of gold!" Yu Xiaobai's eyes lit up when he heard these words, but then he thought, Lan Moqiu is the High Priest of the Crescent Moon, with great power in the court, so ten thousand taels of gold should not be a big deal to him, right?

"That's right, I can give you some other treasures in addition to ten thousand taels of gold, but can you give me this pearl?" the man continued to seduce.

"Ten thousand taels of gold are very tempting, but I don't need it." Yu Xiaobai turned around and ran without finishing his words, but was unexpectedly stopped by the other party.

Yu Xiaobai couldn't move and could only stand there waiting for the other party to snatch her beads.

"My master is the Star Moon High Priest Lan Moqiu. If you dare to steal my things, he will never let you go." Yu Xiaobai stared at the other party and threatened.

"I know your master is the high priest. If I hadn't seen you taking this bead from Wanbao Pavilion with my own eyes, how could I have come to you directly?" The man said as he reached out to take the Pi Lingzhu.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched the bead, he was bounced away by a huge force.

The man took a few steps back before he could barely stand still, looking at Yu Xiaobai in surprise.

"Who are you? Who is the high priest?" the man asked in shock.

"Leave quickly, you will surely die when my master arrives." Seeing the fear on his face, Yu Xiaobai threatened him again.

"I have decided to take this bead today." After saying this, the man pounced on Yu Xiaobai again and grabbed her neck accurately with his hand.

"Divide it with my order, hide." Yu Xiaobai shouted, and then half of his body disappeared, but the lower body was still there.

"The invisibility technique of the gods from the upper realm?" The man was shocked again. He wanted to take the pearl again, but was hit by a gravity from behind.

"How dare you, you bold demons, trespass into the human world." Lan Moqiu appeared at the entrance of the alley with an angry look on his face.

The man was injured and fled quickly.

Lan Moqiu did not chase after him, but just stood in front of Yu Xiaobai, whose half body was hidden, with a resentful look on his face.

"Master." She lowered her head guiltily and called out.

Lan Moqiu raised his hand to remove her immobilization spell and invisibility spell, and looked at her expressionlessly.

Yu Xiaobai felt a little guilty. If she had practiced well in her daily life, she wouldn't have been unable to use an invisibility spell at the critical moment.

She pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.

"Master, I..."

"Go back!" Lan Moqiu said these three words in a flat tone, and then walked forward.

Seeing him like this, Yu Xiaobai didn't dare to say anything and could only follow him quietly.

Lan Moqiu was tall and had steady steps. He walked without saying a word, and every step he took seemed to be stepping on the tip of Yu Xiaobai's heart, making her feel even more guilty.

Yu Xiaobai followed carefully, fearing that he would really annoy him.

There was no conversation along the way. It was the first time that Yu Xiaobai saw Lan Moqiu like this. The atmosphere was so depressing that it was suffocating.

Finally arriving at the gate of the priest's mansion, Lan Moqiu stopped and turned to look at Yu Xiaobai.

Yu Xiaobai swallowed nervously and lowered his head not daring to look at him.

"Don't run around in the future." Lan Moqiu was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly, but only said a few words.

After saying this, he turned and went into the priest's house.

Yu Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little disappointed.

She knew that she was really in trouble this time, but Lan Moqiu did not blame her.

She sighed and went into her room.

Lying in bed, Yu Xiaobai tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

She remembered what had just happened and felt a little scared.

If Lan Moqiu had not arrived in time, the Pi Lingzhu would have definitely been snatched away by that person.

"Yu Xiaobai, starting from tomorrow, you must practice seriously and don't let Lan Moqiu worry about you anymore." Yu Xiaobai said solemnly.

Outside the door, Lan Moqiu listened to the noise in the room with his lips pursed, a helpless smile on his face.

"Junior sister, junior sister, Junior Sister Xiaoyu, it's time for you to get up..."

The next morning, Yu Xiaobai was woken up by Aji from her sleep. Aji urged her to have breakfast, and then Long Xiao supervised her practice.

The area of ​​the priest's mansion is not small, and there is plenty of place for her to practice. With Long Xiao's close supervision, Yu Xiaobai was forced to work and practiced everything she had learned in Yunji Villa in the past year.

I don't know if she suddenly got the hang of it, but whether she was learning spells or talismans, it was as if she was assisted by God. She could learn them immediately and she even succeeded in flying a sword in one day.

She made rapid progress, which made Aji and Long Xiao exclaim that it was impossible. After more than ten years of practice, Long Xiao finally couldn't help but shamelessly challenge her to compete. Aji even flattered her and asked her to teach him the method.

"Xiao Yu, didn't you just become a disciple of the master? Why are you so powerful all of a sudden?" Long Xiao asked in disbelief. In fact, it was the master priest who asked her to say this.

"Not long, maybe just one or two years. It's just that I lived in other places before and you haven't seen me. Am I really that great?" Yu Xiaobai had a proud look on his face and completely regarded himself as a magical genius.

"Would you like to compete with me? I promise that we will stop when the time is right, and I will try my best not to hurt you, okay?" Long Xiao shamelessly imitated Aji to pull Yu Xiaobai.

"No, you are a boy and you are older than me. I can't beat you. I don't want to fight." Yu Xiaobai directly rejected his request.

Yu Xiaobai is not stupid. How long has she learned? She is still in the novice protection period. How can she compare with a veteran with more than ten years of experience? It would be pitiful if she was defeated.

"Please, Sister Xiaoyu..." Long Xiao decisively started to act like a spoiled child.

"Shut up and don't call me sister. I don't have a brother!" Yu Xiaobai immediately refused to acknowledge him as her relative.

"Okay, okay, Xiaoyu, just practice with me, just once, okay?" Long Xiao continued to beg.

"Okay then. But let me make it clear first, you are not allowed to bully me!" Yu Xiaobai agreed to Long Xiao's request.

The two men officially started to fight, standing opposite each other. Yu Xiaobai secretly practiced his skills, preparing to use the magic he had just learned.

"Here I come!" Long Xiao shouted and rushed towards Yu Xiaobai.

Yu Xiaobai stared at Long Xiao's attack intently and dodged it. Then she formed seals with her hands and muttered something. A beam of light shot out from her hands and hit Long Xiao directly.

Long Xiao quickly dodged to the side, turned around and looked at Yu Xiaobai with a smug smile.

"Wow, junior sister, you are so awesome!" Aji exclaimed from the side.

"Hehe, that's not bad." Although he didn't beat Long Xiao, Yu Xiaobai still felt a little proud.

"Again..." Long Xiao started the second round.

"We agreed to just do it once." Yu Xiaobai doesn't like competitions because they are too tiring.

"Do it again..." Long Xiao was cheating.

"Okay!" Yu Xiaobai had no choice but to agree to continue the competition.

In this way, she was fooled by Long Xiao into playing more than ten rounds.

In the next round of competition, Long Xiao began to concentrate on practicing with Yu Xiaobai, and Yu Xiaobai gradually became more comfortable from being anxious and flustered at the beginning.

"No more fighting! Your progress has been too great!" Long Xiao finally admitted defeat deliberately.

"Haha, I told you I'm a genius!" Yu Xiaobai laughed happily.

Not far away, Lan Moqiu watched this scene quietly. This guy actually fell for it. He didn't like being forced, but liked being flattered.

When Long Xiao saw him, he stood up and walked over to greet him.

"Sir, this Miss Xiaoyu is your disciple, why do you still have to beg her to practice? And you also let me accompany her and say flattering words every day?" Long Xiao couldn't understand Lan Moqiu's actions.

"She is so unambitious. I have to find a way to make her more proactive. Otherwise, she will achieve nothing, and if others tell others about it, wouldn't that be embarrassing for me?" Lan Moqiu explained, with the smile on his face becoming even more intense.

"Long Xiao doesn't understand. Miss Xiaoyu has an adult as her master and we are her protector. Even if she has poor talent and has achieved nothing, she can still be free and at ease!"

Long Xiao really didn't understand. Just like Aji, he was dull and had been with the adults for more than three years, but he couldn't draw talismans and didn't know the most basic escape techniques. Yet the adults still treated him like their own son and brought him up every day.

"You don't need to understand." Lan Moqiu did not explain, but just quietly looked at Yu Xiaobai in the distance.

The days passed one by one. Yu Xiaobai would still be lazy from time to time and was tricked by Long Xiao and Aji into practicing. When she made mistakes, Long Xiao would help her correct them.

Zi Yan practiced alone in Yunji Villa. With the teachings of the elders and the advice from Helan Ruofeng, her cultivation level improved. She gradually caught up with and surpassed Mo Xiaotan, who was firmly in first place. Some disciples from ordinary families like Hongling also began to show friendliness to her.

Who is Zi Yan? She is positive and optimistic, but also hates evil. She will not play with people who have bullied her before. There are hundreds of disciples in the huge Yunji Villa, but she only gets close to a few of them.

Helan Ruofeng returned to the East Territory alone and began to cultivate himself and live a contented life.

Not to mention Jin Xuan. As an emperor, he was busy with all kinds of affairs. The only time he had left the palace was to occasionally go out for a walk or to have meals with Concubine Lan.

Lan Moqiu seldom asked about Yu Xiaobai's affairs. As before, he would occasionally enter the palace, walk to the door of Concubine Lan's palace and stay there quietly for a while. He would also go in and sit quietly once or twice.

Although Jin Xuan felt strange about this, he did not dwell on it anymore. Concubine Lan also went from being panicked at first to being accustomed to it in the end. Anyway, he would not hurt her, so she just let him be.

The sun rose and set, the moon waxed and waned, and two years passed in the transition from day to night.

"Old fortune teller, where can you and I go to find Lord Weiqing? What should we do if we find him?" Bai Qiyang asked after he classified all the divine pills he had refined over the past ten thousand years and hid them in Lingxu.

Taibu Xingjun stared at Bai Qiyang's pill without blinking the whole time. He was thinking about how to convince Bai Qiyang to take out a top-grade Ningyuan Pill for his good disciple.

"Ah...Oh, let's go to the underworld first. Let's go to the underworld first and talk about it later." Taibu Xingjun responded vaguely.

"Do you know where Lord Weiqing is in the lower world?" Bai Qiyang asked again.

"I know, let's go!" Taibu Xingjun said as he dragged Bai Qiyang to the Yunhai Ladder leading to the human world.
