Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

The first time she met him flashed through her mind unconsciously. This guy stretched out a hand to her with a bright smile, and then foolishly accompanied her to climb the mountain with a heavy load.

In the secret realm, he saved her at all costs, and protected her wholeheartedly when he was chased by the disciples of Chonghai Sect; when they met again in the priest's house, he put her on the bed without asking her wishes to cover his feet; when Fanli Mountain was frozen, he gave her his clothes; when he unsealed Heiduo in the underground of Chancheng, he protected her...

The scenes with Helan Ruofeng poured into his mind like the sea water flowing back, and then connected together.

How could she not love him when she felt the infinite warmth in her heart and her heart suddenly beat wildly? He always took the initiative to hold her hand wherever he went, and she was willing to let him hold her hand wherever she went.

That hand made her feel endless warmth and made her feel that it would not let go no matter what happened. How could such unconditional trust not be considered love?

Yu Xiaobai is not an idiot. Even if she has not experienced it, she can understand that Helan Ruofeng has already lived in her heart inadvertently.

"I should like him very much! But liking someone is one thing, and being together is another. He is such a scumbag, I don't want to be with him. If one day he meets a girl who is cuter and prettier than me, and he falls in love with someone else, what should I do then?" Yu Xiaobai looked at Cong Li and asked.

"Yes, he is so fickle. What will you do if he falls in love with someone else one day?" Cong Li said worriedly.

Moreover, what Yu Xiaobai cares more about is that Helan Ruofeng has no intention of ascending to the upper realm. He will stay in the human world and guard what he calls the righteous path.

Her identity as a demon clan was always a hidden danger, and she might be exposed to the world one day. If that day really came when she was spurned and hunted by all the immortals, and Helan Ruofeng was added to these people, Yu Xiaobai's glass heart would probably be completely shattered into slag.

Therefore, if one day she really wants to find someone she likes, that person can only be Lan Moqiu who knows all her secrets.

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Yu Xiaobai decided to hide his feelings for Helan Ruofeng and just be good brothers with him from now on.

"Okay, I've decided that I don't like him anymore. I'll be a good brother to him from now on." Yu Xiaobai raised his head and said with a firm look.

"Xiao Yu, I support you. Being a brother with a man as philandering as Helan is definitely better than being a lover." Cong Li also strongly supported Yu Xiaobai's decision.

After the two of them expressed their feelings, they climbed into bed and went to sleep.

However, what Cong Li didn't expect was that Yu Xiaobai's sleeping ability was not much better than Bai Qiyang's. His entire body clung to her like an octopus, making it impossible for her to move at all.

The next day, everyone had nothing to do, so after eating and drinking, they agreed to go to the market to investigate the matter of the demons sucking the essence of humans.

The personnel were divided into several teams, and they picked people who were already well off and who did not celebrate the festival.

And they were all in groups of three or five. The most special one was the team of Yu Xiaobai and Zi Yan, which was joined by Helan Ruofeng and Cong Li, and also had an extra spirit pet.

Zhou Ze had always traveled alone before, but this time he brought Sa Yulong with him. The main reason was that Zhou Ze was worried about Sa Yulong. No matter which team she was with, Zhou Ze was afraid that she would harm others.

There are quite a lot of people on the streets of Hanyu City today. Compared with the previous few days, there are obviously many more disciples from various major sects, and there are also some vendors who come out to set up stalls when they see there are so many people.

Sa Yulong's face looked very ugly. She must have been unable to accept that she, who was once the center of attention, had now become someone that everyone avoided.

From the conversations of passers-by on the street, I learned that Hanyu City used to be extremely prosperous and lively. It was because of the incidents of demons injuring people in the past six months that made people panic and no one dared to go out.

Yu Xiaobai and his group of four, except for Cong Li who had an empty head, the other three all had their own concerns and did not look like they were out to do any business.

Helan Ruofeng was not discouraged by what Yu Xiaobai said last night. He felt that he still had plenty of time. Xiaoyu's attitude towards him was not as cold as Zi Yan's, so he felt that he still had a chance.

Moreover, he felt that his feelings for Xiaoyu were stronger than his previous feelings for Zi Yan, so he had to work harder to win her attention.

Yu Xiaobai was also absent-mindedly thinking about the demons hurting people. If these guys continued to make trouble like this, she might be exposed one day.

Zi Yan kept thinking about Sa Yulong. Her intuition told her that she couldn't trust anything Sa Yulong said. She couldn't put all her hopes on Zhou Ze. She also had to be alert at all times to guard against Sa Yulong's sneak attack again.

"Helan, what is that? Is it delicious?" Cong Li suddenly grabbed Helan Ruofeng and asked.

Everyone stopped and looked in the direction of her sight. A stove was burning brightly in a small stall, which was warmer than other stalls. There were many freshly baked naan breads piled around the stove. They were golden in color and covered with sesame seeds, which made people hungry at first sight.

When Helan Ruofeng saw Cong Li holding his hand, and then looked up to see that pretty little face, he was so scared that he took a step back and looked at Yu Xiaobai nervously.

Cong Li was blatantly rejected by him on the street, with her little hands just frozen in the air.

"Helan Ruofeng, why are you like this?" Yu Xiaobai glared at Helan Ruofeng in annoyance, turned around, took Cong Li's hand, and said in a pointed way, "Let's go, ignore those unfaithful men. It's fine if they fall in love with someone else, but they even turn their backs on their own brothers."

Helan Ruofeng's hair was disheveled again. The reason why he didn't hold Cong Li's hand was because Cong Li had become a woman now and he couldn't be rude to her anymore.

Besides, how could he dare to hold another woman's hand in front of his sweetheart?

"It seems that Young Master Helan cares a lot about what Junior Sister Xiaoyu thinks?" Zi Yan joked with a smile.

"Miss Zi Yan is a little different from before." Helan Ruofeng answered the question irrelevantly.

"People change. Didn't Master Helan change as well?" The change that Zi Yan referred to here was that he used to like Zi Yan but now he likes Yu Xiaobai.

But Zi Yan didn't blame him, after all, she had no intention towards him, and the one who was with him at the beginning was not the real her. But it has changed, after all, Helan Ruofeng didn't know that Zi Yan and Yu Xiaobai once belonged to the same person.

"Why do you say that, Miss Zi Yan?" Helan Ruofeng asked Zi Yan with a hurt look on his face.

The person in front of him was once his sweetheart, and he had been sad for a long time because of this. Now that time has passed, why would she suddenly say such a thing?

"Mr. Helan, don't worry about it. Just be compassionate to the person in front of you." Zi Yan glanced at Yu Xiaobai unintentionally and said meaningfully.

"Miss Zi Yan, you don't need to remind me of this. I was young and ignorant at the beginning and caused you trouble. I hope you won't mind." Helan Ruofeng suddenly changed his previous casual attitude and spoke to Zi Yan carefully.

"Just as Master Helan said, there is no need to hold on to the past. I have forgotten it. From now on, you and I are both friends of Junior Sister Xiaoyu, so we should get along well with each other." Zi Yan said sincerely.

The reason why she was cold to Helan Ruofeng at the beginning was simply because she didn't want to protect Xue'er, that stupid dog, from peach blossoms. Now that time has passed, Xue'er is no longer with him, and Helan Ruofeng has found his love again, why should she reject him thousands of miles away?

"Miss Zi Yan is right. This is very good." Helan Ruofeng seemed to have completely let it go at this moment. He didn't care much about it at the beginning, so naturally he wouldn't be too obsessed with it now.

Yu Xiaobai and Cong Li would not think so much. They had already decided last night, so why would they be entangled? They came to Helan Ruofeng with hot naan bread.

"Zi Yan, eat the cake, Ruo Feng, eat the cake. It's so warm, and there are sweet and salty ones, as well as meat and nut fillings." Yu Xiaobai handed the naan to the two of them and said as if he was presenting a treasure.

Cong Li was eating happily while holding a cup in her hand. She was much happier with Xiaoyu than with Bai Qiyang. Bai Qiyang only asked her to sit in meditation, enter a state of concentration, and recite the ingredients and recipes needed for alchemy. How boring. He also said that one does not need to eat to cultivate immortality, and that only by eliminating the desire for food can one attain enlightenment faster.

Next to Cong Li, Heiduo had turned into a little fat boy. He was quietly holding a pile of naan and eating them seriously, completely ignoring everything around him.

"Since Xiaoyu bought it, of course I have to try it." Helan Ruofeng said and reached out to take one.

Zi Yan also took one, and the four of them ate while wandering aimlessly in the market.

Suddenly, a dignified and beautiful woman was seen chasing a black shadow from afar, and there were many people following her.

The dark shadow came closer, revealing a man with a hideous face and murderous aura.

"Catch him, he killed many people..."

"Kill him, don't let him run away..."

The shouts and cries of killing were getting louder and louder from far away. Cong Li wisely stood aside, and Zi Yan, whose arms were injured, also retreated to the side.

"Come back..." Seeing Heiduo acting foolishly as if no one was around, Cong Li quickly reached out and pulled him.

Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng looked at each other and took out their swords at the same time.

The man was holding a scimitar covered in blood. Seeing Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng trying to stop him, he threw the scimitar without hesitation. As soon as the scimitar left his arm, it split into two and flew towards the two at an extremely fast speed.

Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng rushed forward without saying a word, each taking the attack of the scimitar. The collision of the swords made a pleasant sound, and the man in black made a gesture, and the scimitar returned to his hand again.

The woman behind also caught up at this time. In front, Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng blocked their way, and behind, Gu Yunnuo from the Xiaoyao Sect was guarding.

The man's face was filled with a barely perceptible smile. He took out a bone whistle and blew it close to his mouth. With a rustling sound, some blue fire moths scurried out like a storm.

Wherever the fire moths went, flammable materials were set on fire, and the streets were filled with panicked shouts.

"Congli, hurry up and make it rain..." Helan Ruofeng shouted at Congli.

Cong Li was so scared that he quickly put down the naan in his hand and quickly cast a spell to summon rain.

Suddenly, the clear sky turned into a downpour of rain with water pouring down.

But those fire moths didn't seem to be afraid of the rain. Only a few of them were knocked down, but there was no sign of them extinguishing.

When Heiduo saw the fire moths, his eyes lit up, and he stuffed all the naan in his hand into his bloody mouth. He transformed into a huge and ferocious face of the evil spirit, and began to open his huge mouth to suck the fire moths crazily.

"Master Demon King's Heiduo? Why are you here?" the man in black shouted.

It seems that he not only knows Hei Duo, but also knows Feng Xi, the demon king of the demon world who has been silent for ten thousand years.

Hei Duo didn't care about all these at this time and was only focused on eating the delicious food.

Upon seeing this, Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng immediately drew their swords and attacked the man in black, and Gu Yunnuo also quickly joined the battle.

The man in black was outnumbered three at once and was soon at a disadvantage. He was trapped and unable to fight back.

The fire moth had been almost eaten by Heiduo, and Congli quickly retreated back to Zi Yan's side.

The disciples of the immortal sect and the citizens who were watching from the surrounding areas all started shouting and yelling to kill him.

It seemed that this man had incurred public wrath, and it was unknown how many people he had killed. But so many people wanted him dead, and if he was caught, he would surely die.

"Are you reluctant to kill him or what? If you can't kill him, we will send the Imperial Spirits to do it instead..."

"Yes, we will directly activate the Heavenly Punishment Array to make him disappear into ashes and prevent him from entering the cycle of reincarnation..."

People around began to loudly accuse Yu Xiaobai and others, and Zhao Hua and Huo Ning from the Yuling Sect also joined in.

"What?" Yu Xiaobai was shocked. Could it be that the person in front of him was another demon?

"The Heavenly Punishment Formation is too cruel. Do we really need to use it?" some passers-by asked.

"Cruel? Last month, the demons killed 17 disciples of my Yuling Sect in Chan City. Why didn't you say they were cruel?" Huo Ning roared angrily.

The last incident had already made him hate the demons, let alone the demons that killed humans. Now, as long as it was a demon, he would rather kill the wrong one than let it go.

"Huo Ning, don't use your Yuling sect's tricks here. I tracked this monster for many days before I found it. It is not your Yuling sect's turn to intervene." Gu Yunnuo shouted loudly.

"Senior Sister Gu, is it necessary for us to separate you and me in order to protect the peace of the Three Realms? I just want to get rid of this monster as soon as possible." Huo Ning argued.

"You want to kill me today? One day my demon army will wipe out the immortal sect." The man in black was like meat on the chopping board at this time, but he still threatened without any cowardice.

"Monster, do you want to learn from that bird monster last time and self-destruct your demon elixir and soul again?" Huo Ning pointed his sword at the man in black and roared with a sinister look in his eyes.

"I am a good man of the demon clan, why shouldn't I dare?" After saying this, the man waved his hands and began to cast a spell to extract his soul.

Seeing him like this, the people around him quickly left an empty space, their eyes cold but full of expectation. They surrounded the man in black in three layers, waiting for him to explode and die.

"Ruofeng, will he be destroyed like Zhu Ji last time?" Yu Xiaobai felt cold in her heart. She didn't want to see this man suffer the same fate as Zhu Ji.

"Yes." Helan Ruofeng answered casually, but did not notice her abnormality.

After hearing what Helan Ruofeng said, Yu Xiaobai felt a mixture of fear and some inexplicable emotions. Suddenly, she got excited and made a very irrational decision.

"Mei Yu..." With a call, Mei Yu flew out at high speed, and Yu Xiaobai used sword techniques to stab the black-clothed man who was unable to escape in the field.

Her action came suddenly. Everyone was concentrating on waiting for the man's demon pill to detonate. They didn't expect that she would suddenly make a move and kill him directly.

The man in black was determined to die, but suddenly a sharp blade pierced his heart. He lowered his head in surprise, and when he saw the long sword in his heart, he actually smiled strangely.

No one expected this, and they all stared with wide eyes at the man in black who suddenly fell down. Before he fell down, the man in black had a strange smile on his face, and he uttered two words as if he had gotten what he wanted - beating to death.
