Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

When he spoke to Yu Xiaobai, he never spoke in the tone of a child or an apprentice.

Even when she was still Xue'er, he was always like this, just like talking to an old friend, speaking softly and slowly, without a trace of panic.

"I, I... I'm sorry, Master." Yu Xiaobai calmed down at this time, feeling guilty. Lan Moqiu never owed her anything. Instead, it was she, Yu Xiaobai, who owed him for saving her life several times, for food and shelter, and owed him too much.

Therefore, even if he really wanted Yu Xiaobai to marry him, Yu Xiaobai should marry him out of gratitude out of morality. After all, Yu Xiaobai is an orphan, powerless and without any property, and she has nothing except her body.

"Hmph...you're not going to call me Lan Moqiu now?" Lan Moqiu chuckled and said in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so loud and mean to you. You've been so nice to me." Yu Xiaobai spoke more and more quietly.

"This is the pure Yuan Dan I found. It can suppress the restlessness in your body for a short period of time. However, once you encounter something I don't know about, it is still possible to trigger the demonic power in your body." Lan Moqiu didn't care what Yu Xiaobai said at all, but focused on her demonic power.

"Where did you find it? Tell me, and I'll go look for it too." When Yu Xiaobai heard that there was a pure inner elixir, he immediately came to Lan Moqiu excitedly.

"Do you think you can just pick up mushrooms easily in the mountains? I spent a lot of effort to get this." Lan Moqiu said this, but he was thinking in his heart that this hundred-year-old pure Yuandan was not easy to come by, but he exchanged it for a thousand years of spiritual power.

Yu Xiaobai definitely didn't know. She thought it was just like how Helan Ruofeng got the crocodile's inner elixir in the secret realm, and he could get it by just fighting.

"Before refining this inner elixir, I will try to take out the inner elixir of the red snake demon in your Lingxu." Lan Moqiu looked at Yu Xiaobai with a warning look.

"Will it be painful?" Although Yu Xiaobai didn't understand, he knew from Lan Moqiu's expression that it must be painful.

"Maybe, a little bit..." Lan Moqiu didn't want to lie to Yu Xiaobai.

Yu Xiaobai could only obey Lan Moqiu's arrangements at this time. She didn't want to be trapped here forever.

Seeing that she was willing, Lan Moqiu went straight into her Lingxu.

In just a few short days, the dark red demon pill seemed to be catalyzed by some force and perfectly integrated with Yu Xiaobai's soul, and showed signs of beginning to be refined.

Lan Moqiu had no choice but to leave. Being a brother to Lan Moqiu was quite considerate.

Since he discovered her soul, Lan Moqiu has been taking care of her like a child. After she finally transformed and had her own thoughts, he still had to care about her emotional issues.

He might even have to marry her on her whim, and that would be a huge sacrifice for him.

"Master, what's the matter? Can it be taken out?" Yu Xiaobai saw Lan Moqiu staring at her with a strange look and couldn't help but ask him.

Lan Moqiu shook his head, looked at Yu Xiaobai and said seriously: "I guess you will become a manic monster like the red snake monster. If I can't suppress you by then, it will be the turn of the major immortal sects and the gods of the upper realms."

His words were meant to scare Yu Xiaobai, but they were also 70% true. After all, there was nothing in the world that the High Priest Lan could not accomplish, but if Yu Xiaobai did not cooperate, the chances of failure were also very high.

"..."Yu Xiaobai was frightened by Lan Moqiu's words, and she couldn't say a word.

The scene of Zhu Ji being captured outside the city of Chan appeared in his mind. There were more than fifty people and a dense rain of swords. If Xiaobai Xianjun was added, his explosive power and destructive power when attacking Meng Jiao were also there. And Helan Ruofeng, his fighting power should not be underestimated.

Yu Xiaobai could imagine how tragic the scene was even with his eyes closed.

And there are those bad guys in Yunji Villa. They will definitely take advantage of her misfortune and insult her in all kinds of unbearable ways.

"What are you thinking about?" Lan Moqiu couldn't help laughing again when he saw her like this. What was she thinking about so intently?

"People from the Yuling Sect on the outskirts of Chan City besieged Zhu Ji. More than fifty people formed some kind of Heavenly Punishment formation. Zhu Ji was stabbed like a sieve, and she even used some kind of magic to induce her soul into a demon pill and self-destruct. It was a tragic scene." Yu Xiaobai recalled it carefully, with pity in his tone.

"Leading the soul into the demon pill and causing it to self-destruct? Both the self and the stone will be destroyed..." Lan Moqiu was also shocked when he heard this.

All living beings in the three realms and the six paths of reincarnation can enter the netherworld after death and wait for reincarnation. Only those whose primordial spirits are completely destroyed cannot do so. The so-called primordial spirit is the three souls and seven spirits of living beings.

To draw the soul into the demon pill is to inject the three souls and seven spirits into the inner pill that has been cultivated. If the demon pill explodes, the soul will be destroyed together with it, which is extremely powerful and can hurt others and yourself.

The destruction of the primordial spirit means that this being will no longer have reincarnation, no more next life, and it means that she will disappear from the six realms forever.

"Master, will I become like Zhu Ji one day?" Yu Xiaobai shouted timidly, his eyes full of grievance and unwillingness.

If she had known the result would be like this, she would rather be that happy little puppy forever, at least she could stay happily with Lan Moqiu.

"No, I was just scaring you. With me here, that kind of thing will never happen." Lan Moqiu stretched out his hand and held her in his arms, saying softly.

He suddenly felt a little sorry for scaring her.

Yu Xiaobai took the opportunity to roll herself into Lan Moqiu's arms and breathed in his scent. This scent was the same as it was three years ago, making her feel inexplicably at ease.

"Master, are you from the immortal sect, or, or... the same as me?" Yu Xiaobai couldn't help it in the end, looked up at Lan Moqiu and asked.

"..." Lan Moqiu didn't expect her to ask this. He lowered his head and his lips gently brushed across her forehead.

As the two looked at each other, Yu Xiaobai seemed to have gotten used to his scent. He stared at him without blushing or beating his heart, and even reached out to scratch his nose unscrupulously.

Lan Moqiu didn't expect this to happen. His eyes were a little evasive, and there were fluctuations in his heart that he hadn't experienced for a long time.

"I'll refine the Yuandan first." He pretended to push the person in his arms away from him, not daring to look at her again.

"Okay!" Yu Xiaobai didn't notice anything unusual about Lan Moqiu and thought he was really busy refining the Yuandan.

Lan Moqiu stopped talking and focused on his work. Yu Xiaobai stayed quietly beside him, watching him busy.

After a while, as if she remembered something, she took out her Qiankun bag and began to search.

"Master, this was given to me by the elk I met in Fanli Mountain." She took out the not-so-small pair of elk antlers from her Qiankun bag.

"This is the naan I bought in Hanyu City. It tastes pretty good. This is the wild honey that Aying gave me when I was in Biluo Village. This is the tiger skin that Azo gave me when I stayed overnight at the hunter's house."

Yu Xiaobai poured things out as he spoke, and soon he had dumped out a huge pile of random stuff, including food, toys, useful and useless things.

Lan Moqiu watched her fiddle quietly without saying anything else. His eyes unconsciously shifted from the things on the ground to the people.

When he met Feng Xi, she had inherited the throne of the Demon King for thousands of years.

At that time, the three realms were at peace and she did not have many things to deal with. She traveled everywhere every day and met him.

At that time, Lan Moqiu was not called this name, but the famous Lord Cangmo.

Because the gods do not allow the gods to marry human women, God Cangmo hides in the human world with his beloved woman Lan Qiu.

The demon king Feng Xi has the ability to open up a secret realm in the human world, so the god Cang Mo took the opportunity to get to know her. He spent some time to become his friend, and she willingly opened up a hiding place for him in the human world.

Cangmo finally chose Lan Qiu's hometown and chose the secret place among the mountains and rivers with distinct four seasons.

Now, Lan Qiu's face had faded from his mind without him noticing when, and was replaced by the innocent yet timid little girl in front of him.

"You said you would marry me, does that still count?" Lan Moqiu looked at Yu Xiaobai and these words came out of his mouth unconsciously.

"Plop..." The Qiankun bag in his hand fell to the ground, and Yu Xiaobai was suddenly at a loss.

Seeing her like this, Lan Moqiu began to want to tease her.

"Did you hear what I said?" he asked deliberately.

"Didn't you want to refuse at that time? Why are you bringing up the past again now?" Yu Xiaobai couldn't tell what Lan Moqiu was thinking.

"Just because I wasn't willing then doesn't mean I'm not willing now. Since you've said you'll marry me, I only ask if you still keep your word." There was a sudden sense of arrogance and domineering in Lan Moqiu's words.

"Are you still the master I knew before?" Yu Xiaobai approached him with some confusion.

Lan Moqiu used to be gentle and refined, with a particularly good temper. He treated him like an old friend he had known for a long time, with great care and consideration. He had never been as arrogant and unreasonable as he was today.

"Master, if I always stay like this, then I can marry you." Yu Xiaobai said without thinking too much, gritting his teeth.

Anyway, she is a demon now, a shameful identity. What else can she do except marry Lan Moqiu, the only one who can protect her.

"In that case, I will pick an auspicious day for you and me to get married." Lan Moqiu just heard Yu Xiaobai mention marrying and decided to get married directly.

"Ah..." Yu Xiaobai was once again frightened by Lan Moqiu's decision and froze in place.

She secretly complained in her heart, what happened to this guy today? Why did he suddenly ask her to get married, and why was he so decisive?

However, considering that he has been dedicated to helping me hide my identity and taking care of me for so many years, I will marry him reluctantly.

After all, Yu Xiaobai was only nineteen years old, and she could not think of much. After weighing the pros and cons, between the person she liked, Helan Ruofeng, and the person who protected her, Lan Moqiu, she decisively chose the latter.

On this day, an uninvited guest suddenly came—Sa Yulong.

"Today, I must see Brother Lan no matter what." Sa Yulong pointed the sword in her hand directly at Long Xiao's nose.

"Miss Sa, you may have forgotten that you are no match for me." Long Xiao asked Sa Yulong without giving her any face, how could a woman be so shameless.

"I like Brother Lan. Everyone knows that I have admired him since I was a child." Sa Yulong said willfully.

"Miss Sa, everyone knows that our masters don't like you, right? Why do you have to make yourself unhappy?" Long Xiao advised with confusion.

Although he hated Sa Yulong, he couldn't bear to scold her too harshly because she was so devoted to his master.

"What's wrong with me? I can change. I won't beat the maids or punish them in the future, is that okay? What's so good about Xiaoyu? How is she better than me? Let Brother Lan come out and explain it to me..." Sa Yulong said incoherently.

Yes, there is nothing wrong in loving someone, but the mistake is that the person she loves does not have her in his heart, and she does not know how to let go.

"Hey... Miss Sa, I don't know what nonsense you are talking about. Xiaoyu is your apprentice. How could you like her?" Long Xiao even thought that Sa Yulong had gone crazy for his master.

"Brother Lan doesn't like Xiaoyu? If you don't like Xiaoyu, why did you marry her? Why did you want to marry her? Let Brother Lan come out and explain it to me..." Sa Yulong looked crazy and refused to give in. She had become a fool because of Lan Moqiu.

When Lan Moqiu went out to meet her, he was also hesitant. Sa Hun was a good person and he and Lan Moqiu had some connections. He really didn't want to see his daughter go crazy for him.

"Brother Lan, you are finally willing to see me? Tell me quickly, you will not marry Xiaoyu. You are master and disciple, how can you get married, right?" As soon as Sa Yulong saw Lan Moqiu, she rushed up to him, grabbed his sleeve and kept asking questions.

"Miss Sa, I don't have any feelings for you. I never had any before, and I won't have any in the future. I hope Miss Sa will take care of herself in the future." Lan Moqiu looked at Sa Yulong very coldly and formally. After saying this word by word, he waved his sleeves and let her fall into a deep sleep.

"Sir..." Long Xiao didn't understand what he meant by this.

"Send her back to Yunji Villa and tell Master Sa that Miss Sa is not in a good condition to go out." Lan Moqiu explained to Long Xiao in detail.

"Understood, sir." Long Xiao obeyed the order and took over Sa Yulong.

Alas, Long Xiao cursed Sa Yulong inwardly, for finding himself another errand job for no reason.

In the days that followed, Lan Moqiu began to stay indoors, staying in the house every day to refine the inner elixir of the red-bellied snake demon for Yu Xiaobai.

With the help of a hundred-year-old pure Yuandan, the demon pill of the red-bellied snake demon was gradually refined and absorbed, becoming Yu Xiaobai's own demon pill.

A month later, Yu Xiaobai finally absorbed the power of the Red Snake Demon Pill completely with the help of Lan Moqiu.

Yu Xiaobai tried to control his luck and feel the demonic power in his body. He asked Lan Moqiu excitedly, "Master, am I now also a ten-thousand-year-old demon?"

"Hmm..." Lan Moqiu nodded, but secretly added in his heart: You are not only a ten thousand year old demon, but when all the demonic powers are gathered, you will be the king of all demons - Demon King Feng Xi.

However, as long as Lan Moqiu is around, she will never have the chance to gather all her demonic powers.

The reason why he was willing to help her refine the inner elixir of the red snake demon was because he was afraid that she would be affected by the violent aura of the red snake bite and do something bad to her.

"Then Ruofeng is no longer my opponent?" Yu Xiaobai asked excitedly.

"How did he defeat the red-banded snake demon back then?" Lan Moqiu immediately poured a bucket of cold water on Yu Xiaobai.

Yes, wasn't the red snake demon also a ten-thousand-year-old demon? But it was defeated by the fledgling Helan Ruofeng and the powerless Yu Xiaobai.

"Then how can I become strong? Strong enough that I don't have to be afraid of anyone?" Yu Xiaobai asked Lan Moqiu with a pleading look on his face.

"Practice..." Lan Moqiu answered truthfully. No one's cultivation level is gained out of thin air. All cultivation levels must be achieved through hard practice.

However, Yu Xiaobai was the laziest person. If Long Xiao and Aji had not watched over her every day, she would not have practiced on her own initiative.

"Okay, to protect my life, I will practice diligently in the future." Yu Xiaobai decided that for the sake of her life, she must practice well. She wanted to become strong, strong enough to be fearless.
