Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"Mermaids? Are you from the demon tribe or the immortal sect?" the old man suddenly asked with his eyes wide open.

"What's it got to do with you?" Yu Xiaobai didn't want to waste any more time talking to him, so he pulled Helan Ruofeng and was about to leave.

"Old man, to be honest, we are disciples of the Immortal Sect. The snow demon captured our friend and we just want to rescue him. If it's too late, I'm afraid he will freeze to death." Helan Ruofeng held Yu Xiaobai and said sincerely.

"First tell me why she wants to capture your friends. I think it makes sense, so I will tell you where she is." The old man said coldly.

"Really?" Helan Ruofeng asked when he heard the old man say that.

"Ruofeng, I think this old man is trying to trick us. Let's not waste time and go!" Yu Xiaobai didn't want to listen to the old man's nonsense. What if this old man was just fooling them?

"Xiao Yu, instead of acting like a headless fly, we might as well listen to the old man. Maybe he really knows how to get to the Ice Palace." Helan Ruofeng pulled Yu Xiaobai and persuaded him in a gentle tone.

After hearing what he said, Yu Xiaobai also softened.

"Let's tell the old man the whole story. There's no rush. Be obedient!" Yu Xiaobai was coaxed and tricked by Helan Ruofeng into sitting in his seat.

"It was about half a month ago! We, the immortal sect, were training in Fanxing Town near Fanli Mountain, and learned that a snow demon had kidnapped an old woman's grandson, Little Bear. We rescued him, and the snow demon felt that we had destroyed the relationship between her and Little Bear, so she held a grudge against us." Helan Ruofeng briefly recounted what happened.

"The little bear you said was kidnapped by the snow demon, did he ever hear what the snow demon called him?" The old man couldn't help but ask seriously when he heard this.

"What's her name, Little Bear?" Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng fell into a brief memory.

"If I heard correctly, it should be..."

"Zheng Lang..."

Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng said this name in unison.

"That's right, it's Zheng Lang." The old man slammed the table and shouted loudly.

Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng were both frightened by him.

"To be honest, there is an ancient legend in my Zheng family." The old man slowly told the story about Zheng's ancestor and the snow demon.

According to legend, a long time ago, among the Zheng ancestors there was a talented and handsome man named Zheng Cong.

Zheng Cong was ordered by the emperor to go to the Ice Palace to seek elixir, but he accidentally fell into the vast ice sea. He was doomed to die, but was saved by Meng Jiao, the owner of the Ice Palace at that time.

The two of them spent every day together in the Ice Palace, fell in love with each other over time, and promised to spend their lives together.

What a ridiculous idea, one is an immortal with eternal life, and the other is just a mortal with a limited life span. No matter what, they can't stay together forever, this is destined to be a tragedy.

Moreover, this immortal official was already engaged to a highly prestigious war god in the upper realm, and this mortal also had his own wife on earth, so this was a completely ill-fated relationship.

In order to stay with Zheng Cong for a long time, Meng Jiao was willing to break off the engagement, and even secretly practiced the skills of the demon clan, stealing the lifespan of mortals and transferring it to Zheng Cong.

There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. In the end, the Immortal Sect reported Meng Jiao's behavior to the God Realm, who sent the God of War to capture Meng Jiao and bring him back for trial.

On the way back to the upper realm, Meng Jiao killed countless heavenly soldiers and escaped. Bai Ji, who was her fiancé at the time, released her privately out of consideration for their old friendship.

After Meng Jiao returned to the human world, she learned that after the mortal Zheng Cong learned the truth, he could not face the sin of killing that Meng Jiao had committed for him, and committed suicide.

Meng Jiao couldn't accept this fact, and for a moment she became obsessed and fell into evil.

After that, there were rumors that Meng Jiao had obtained a magical mirror that could see the reincarnation trajectory of the six realms of life. With this mirror, she kept looking for Zheng Cong's reincarnation, staying with him in every life until he died and entered reincarnation again, over and over again.

This rumor has been circulating for thousands of years, and no one knows its authenticity, including me, a descendant of the Zheng family, who does not believe it.

However, our Zheng ancestors did pass down an absolute message. That is, the Snow Demon is not a demon that harms people, she is just a poor woman who only wants to be with her lover.

The old man finished speaking slowly, staring at the two of them carefully.

"She is a foolish woman, sure, but she took away the little bear, who is Granny Zhang's only support." Yu Xiaobai slammed the table and said harshly.

"That's right, the premise of love is to respect each other, not to force it and cause trouble to the other person." Helan Ruofeng immediately chimed in.

"Old man, I know. I am not confused, but she is not an evil demon. So, I am willing to tell you two the route to the Ice Palace. But you also have to promise to only save your friends and not hurt Meng Jiao." The old man pleaded with a serious face.

"Old man, the two of us are only saving our friends and will not conflict with her. However, if she insists on making things difficult for us, that's another matter." Helan Ruofeng immediately promised when he saw that the old man was willing to tell him the route to the Ice Palace.

"Okay! Even if you really want to do something to her, it's not something an old man like me can control." The old man sighed and said sadly.

Seeing him like this, Yu Xiaobai wondered if he would show them a false path.

"It's very easy to find the Ice Palace. There is a shortcut out of Hanyu City. There are many trees on both sides of the road. After passing through the woods, you will see a vast sea of ​​glaciers. Although there are many glaciers, you don't have to look for them one by one. Meng Jiao has covered the Ice Palace where she lives with lichens. So, as long as you find the island with the most lichens, you will have found the Ice Palace." The old man carefully explained the route to the Ice Palace.

"What does it mean to cover the ground with fir?" Helan Ruofeng asked in confusion.

"Don't you know what groundcovering is?" The old man couldn't help but feel puzzled after hearing what Helan Ruofeng said.

"Never heard of it." Helan Ruofeng answered truthfully.

"What about you, little girl?" the old man looked at Yu Xiaobai and asked.

"Never heard of it." Yu Xiaobai also quickly shook his head.

"Have you ever been to the mountains? Have you seen moss growing on rocks?" the old man asked again.

"Moss? Of course I know!" Yu Xiaobai replied immediately.

Moss is something that can be found everywhere in the mountains; she must have seen it before.

Helan Ruofeng also nodded quickly.

"The kind that grows on rocks is called ground cypress. If you go to the sea glacier, you can find the island with the most ground cypress, and you will definitely find the Ice Palace." The old man said cautiously.

"Okay, thank you for your guidance." Helan Ruofeng thanked the old man.

Before leaving, the two of them took a lot of food with them and asked the old man for another portion before leaving.

When they arrived outside Hanyu City again, they searched for a long time but did not see the path the old man had mentioned.

After wasting time in indecision until dark, the two of them could only return to the inn where they had eaten before in dejection.

In the inn, the old man had long disappeared, and the waiter was busy clearing the table. It seemed that the inn was about to close.

"Oh! Why are you two guests here again?" The waiter walked up excitedly and asked as soon as he saw them.

"It's dark and we have nowhere to go. Please help us get a room!" Yu Xiaobai walked up and said.

"...Okay!" The waiter looked at the two of them with some curiosity and responded immediately.

"Xiao Yu...one room? Isn't that inappropriate?" Helan Ruofeng said shyly with her cheeks slightly flushed.

"What's wrong?" Yu Xiaobai took the key from Xiaoer without saying a word and went upstairs.

Helan Ruofeng stopped being shy and quickly followed.

Entering the room, the layout is completely in accordance with the fairy tale specifications. The pink or blue curtains, the exquisite fireplace, and the bonfire make people feel the warmth visually.

"It looks good. Let's go to bed early tonight so that we can have the energy to continue chasing Immortal Xiaobai and the old man tomorrow morning." Yu Xiaobai looked at the furnishings of the house with joy and said seriously.

Helan Ruofeng also liked the layout here. It was hard to imagine that this was the Hanyu City with snow all year round.

It wasn't until they lay down that they realized the awkward atmosphere.

"Well, we're unfamiliar with the place, so I think it's safer for us to stay in a room together." Yu Xiaobai tried to make up for his embarrassment.

"I think this is a good idea too. This is not the first time we have done this." Helan Ruofeng had also thought of what to say.

The first time? Wasn't it the night when we were locked up together by Taibu Xingjun? The second time? Wasn't it the time when we were frozen into popsicles?

The two seemed to notice each other's strangeness, so they turned around and stopped talking.

In fact, there was another time, that was when Yu Xiaobai was still Xue'er and was used by Helan Ruofeng to cover her feet, but only he didn't know about it.

"Then don't talk anymore from now on, and get up early tomorrow." Yu Xiaobai ordered.

"Okay..." Helan Ruofeng just responded quietly and stopped talking.

This was the first time the two of them slept in the same bed. Even with their backs to each other, how could they possibly sleep peacefully?

Yu Xiaobai didn't think much about it. After all, she had laid the groundwork a few times before and she knew how naive the guy next to her was.

Helan Ruofeng was different. The first time, he was forced by his master and didn't know what he wanted. The second time, he survived a disaster and didn't care about anything else. But tonight, he knew what he wanted. His lover was by his side, so he couldn't sleep peacefully without distractions.

Just like that, Yu Xiaobai soon fell asleep, and rolled over like an octopus and lay on Helan Ruofeng. Helan Ruofeng was left alone, not daring to move, staring at the darkness with open eyes until dawn.

Cong Li did not sleep well that night, the warm jade bed was not cold. But Meng Jiao was sitting opposite him meditating, he did not feel sleepy at all and did not dare to fall asleep.

"What are you waiting for?" Cong Li couldn't help but ask Meng Jiao.

"Wait for that idiot Bai Qiyang to come and save you! I'm waiting for him in this ice purgatory." Meng Jiao said seductively.

She is extremely beautiful, with skin as white as snow, delicate and fair, a cherry-like mouth, and a pair of beautiful eyes as bright as stars.

At this moment, she looked at Cong Li with a charming expression, which was totally different from the fierce one before. The slightest bit of charm made Cong Li feel inexplicably restless.

"Xiao Yu'er, are you blushing?" Meng Jiao floated to Cong Li's side like a ghost. Her soft and slender fingers gently brushed Cong Li's forehead, cheeks, neck, and gently lifted his scattered long hair. She raised her red lips and breathed softly towards him.

Cong Li was frightened by her action and jumped directly from the warm jade bed to the ground covered with ice bricks.

"Xiao Yu'er, why are you hiding? Are you afraid of me? I'm so beautiful, why are you afraid of me? You haven't transformed yet, right? Do you want me to help you?" Meng Jiao approached Cong Li step by step, tempting him with a very charming tone.

Cong Li avoided Meng Jiao's behavior like the plague and retreated in panic.

With nowhere to retreat, he couldn't help but start to fight. It was just a spell he had just learned. Once, twice, three times, he tried to attack Meng Jiao, but Meng Jiao played him like a monkey until he was exhausted.

"Xiao Yuer, you are still quite cute." Meng Jiao said with a smile.

Tired of playing, she ignored Cong Li and left the ice cave alone.

After seeing that she had been gone for a long time, Cong Li dared to climb back onto the warm jade bed, curled up, and fell into a deep sleep.

On the glacier in the sea, Bai Qiyang was still energetically searching for the Ice Primordial Inferno from island to island. In a corner of another island, Taibu Xingjun curled up and fell asleep. If Bai Qiyang saw him like this, he would definitely break up with him.

"My dear disciple, where are you? Why don't you give me a warning?" Bai Qiyang talked to himself while searching.

"My Lord, are you hungry?" Hei Duo asked behind Bai Qiyang.

"I am a god, and gods never get hungry." Bai Qiyang said without turning his head.

"But Immortal Lord, I'm hungry. I'm just an ordinary spiritual pet." Hei Duo continued to speak behind Bai Qiyang.

"So, you are hungry, what do you want to eat? I have nothing to eat." Bai Qiyang said seriously.

"No, Immortal Lord, you must have food." Hei Dou said firmly.

"I have nothing to eat." Bai Qiyang said again affirmatively.

"No, Immortal Lord, you must have food." This time, Hei Duo jumped directly in front of Bai Qiyang, looked at him and said affirmatively.

"What do you mean, you don't want to eat me? Or... I can't let you eat my magic pill." Bai Qiyang pretended to be nervous and held his purse tightly.

"Immortal Lord, you misunderstood me! I don't eat your pills, and I don't like to eat you. Immortal Lord, can you get some Samadhi Fire for me to eat? You are a true god from the upper realm, and it is easy for you to get some Samadhi Fire." Hei Duo looked at Bai Qiyang flatteringly, shaking his forked tail.

"What? You dare to eat the Samadhi True Fire?" Bai Qiyang asked Hei Duo with a look of surprise.

"I am the ancient ferocious beast Huo Dou. I can be cured by eating some Samadhi True Fire." Hei Duo said as he continued to wag his tail at Bai Qiyang.

Bai Qiyang was originally a little annoyed with looking for Bingling Purgatory, but when he saw Hei Duo's two tails formed into a heart shape in order to eat some Samadhi True Fire, he had no choice but to stop and satisfy his unreasonable demand.

Bai Qiyang used the Fire Control Technique to summon the Samadhi True Fire. When Hei Duo saw the blue flame, he immediately jumped up and down like a madman and began to inhale it.

His small body grew bigger and bigger. As he absorbed more and more flames, Heiduo gradually turned into a hideous monster.

Bai Qiyang was also stunned by his change. He never thought that the ancient ferocious beast Huo Dou could be so terrifying.

Heiduo was full and returned to its previous size. He looked at Bai Qiyang with a satisfied expression.

"Thank you, Immortal Lord, for giving me delicious food... burp..." Hei Duo burped while thanking.

"You're welcome. I'm still going to look for my good disciple." After saying this, Bai Qiyang went to another island.

Huodou wanted to follow Bai Qiyang, but because he was full, he suddenly wanted to relieve himself. But he remembered that he had promised his master that he would never urinate or defecate anywhere like before, so he could only hold it in and walk behind Bai Qiyang.

The two walked for a long time, and Heiduo's round stomach became more and more uncomfortable. He finally couldn't escape the setting that demons have three urgent needs, and began to secretly release poison gas.
