Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

Another month has passed unknowingly, and spring has quietly arrived. As a country with four distinct seasons, the Crescent Kingdom exudes the breath of spring everywhere.

However, there are less than three months left before the disciples who have been training at Yunji Villa return.

Yu Xiaobai asked Lan Moqiu if he would let her go to Hanyu City. Lan Moqiu said it was up to her. The only instruction was that she must not take off the Pi Lingzhu and must not use her magic power at will.

Another thing was to get her back on time so that they could have the wedding on the coolest day of summer.

Yu Xiaobai flew on his sword to Hanyu City, and the only one who was still breathing was Heiduo.

Lan Moqiu told her that she had a lot of demonic power in her body, but she couldn't use it easily in front of the disciples of the immortal sect, because anyone who was slightly alert would easily discover her identity.

She carries the Pi Lingzhu, so as long as she doesn't use her magic power, even if the Emperor of Heaven comes, he won't be able to tell whether she is a human or a demon. If there is a general danger, let Hei Duo go.

“Mei Yu is the sword that protects the master. With it, you can fly with the sword without any spiritual power. Remember, try not to use teleportation. If you encounter danger, you can use talismans appropriately.” Lan Moqiu’s instructions before leaving are still ringing in his ears.

Yu Xiaobai looked at Mei Yu at his feet and fell into deep thought for a moment.

Lan Moqiu never revealed her true identity. Even though he knew that she liked Helan Ruofeng, he agreed to let her out.

Since Mei Yu is the divine sword that protects its master, why did it change hands so easily?

At this time, Hanyu City was still as cold as before. Disciples from various major sects came and went in batches, all because of the incidents of demon tribe injuring people.

Most of these disciples strangled some of the little monsters and left. Only the disciples from the Yuling Sect and the Yunji Villa decided to stay in Hanyu City for a long time after discussion and jointly maintain the public security of Hanyu City.

In order to facilitate the investigation of the demon clan, the Lord of Hanyu City asked the local city guards to make room for the disciples of various sects to stay for a long time. Those who did not want to stay in the city guards could also stay in restaurants and inns.

It took Yu Xiaobai seven or eight days to reach Hanyu City. When he returned to the inn where he had stayed before and asked, he found out that all the disciples of Yunji Villa had moved to the City Defense Department.

Only some disciples from wealthy families lived in the inn, including Gu Yunnuo, Tong Yi and others.

Yu Xiaobai was not in a hurry to stay, but went to the City Defense Department first. On the way to the City Defense Department, he could see patrolling soldiers and disciples of the Immortal Sect everywhere, who did not interfere with each other but cooperated with each other.

When we arrived at the City Defense Department, we found that the territory was very large and the living quarters were also very spacious.

Yu Xiaobai asked someone at random and found out that some people also rested here during the day because they also had to go out on patrol at night, and the chances of accidents happening at night were higher.

"Oh, this is so boring. Why do we have to have all these trials? We have to stay outside for so long." Yu Xiaobai wandered aimlessly on the street. She had only been back for over a month, but the changes here were really huge.

Suddenly, a familiar figure attracted her and she followed him unconsciously.

When Yu Xiaobai got closer, he found that the person was Meng Jiao, whom he had not seen for a long time. There were two people with her, one old and one young.

"Isn't that the old lady from Fanxing Town? Then, the small one is the little bear?" Yu Xiaobai had only seen the sleeping little bear and had never seen it awake, but he recognized it at the first sight.

"Have you seen enough?" Meng Jiao turned around and asked directly.

"No, I haven't seen enough..." Yu Xiaobai said as if possessed by a ghost.

Meng Jiao's beauty is truly alluring, and her cool aura makes her even more beautiful. Yu Xiaobai was unknowingly obsessed with her.

"Don't hurt Jiao Jiao." The little bear and the old woman both protected Meng Jiao and looked at Yu Xiaobai with hatred.

Yu Xiaobai was puzzled. Damn it, two humans defending one demon. If they were afraid of being hurt by others, why did they still come out to show off?

"Grandma, Zheng Lang, don't worry, she won't do anything to me." Meng Jiao gently pulled the old woman and Little Bear's hands apart and slowly walked to Yu Xiaobai.

"Haven't you turned over a new leaf? Even if you are a demon, I won't hurt you." Yu Xiaobai immediately made her position clear; she didn't want to offend anyone.

"Heh, the demon clan? I am the former god of the Nether Water. My true form is a nine-tailed snow fox. I am from the divine clan, little girl..." Meng Jiao's soft voice sounded, and she raised her slender and white hand and gently stroked Yu Xiaobai's cheek.

Yu Xiaobai was a little scared and quickly hid backwards.

"Go away, you evil woman..." Heiduo immediately stood in front of Xiaobai with bared teeth.

"Don't be so afraid of me. I never hurt innocent people, nor do I bully the weak." Meng Jiao looked at Yu Xiaobai, then at Heiduo, and said jokingly.

"Let her go..." a voice suddenly shouted.

Before Yu Xiaobai could react, he was dragged into a familiar embrace.

The familiar breath made her feel extremely warm in an instant, and her fear disappeared. She looked up and saw Helan Ruofeng looking at her nervously.

"Haha, you two should thank me. Without my matchmaking, how could you have progressed so quickly? When you two get married someday, don't forget to treat me to a drink of thanks." Meng Jiao said to Helan Ruofeng with a teasing look on her face.

"Jiaojiao, it's getting late, let's go home quickly." The little bear shouted.

"Okay, grandma, let's go home." Meng Jiao turned around and helped her mother-in-law walk away with a gentle look on her face.

Yu Xiaobai awkwardly pulled back Helan Ruofeng's hand and stepped back a distance from him.

Helan Ruofeng looked normal, but he didn't have the bright smile he used to have. His long gown was a little loose and didn't fit him well. His cheeks were a little thin, his eye sockets were sunken, and he looked at Yu Xiaobai with a hint of stubbornness.

"Are you back?" Helan Ruofeng asked softly.

"I'm back." Yu Xiaobai replied.

"Where do you live?" Helan Ruofeng asked again

"So that's where it is." Yu Xiaobai replied.

"Oh, then let's go back together..." This sentence was Helan Ruofeng's last stubbornness.

"No need, I'll wait for Zi Yan to come back." Yu Xiaobai didn't dare to look into his eyes and said with his head down.

"Well, then I'll be leaving." Helan Ruofeng looked at Yu Xiaobai. Except for the first glance when she looked up at the beginning, she never looked at him directly again.

He didn't understand why this happened. She was the one who begged him to help her in the first place, so why was she treating him like this now?

The moment he turned around, Helan Ruofeng felt a sharp pain in his heart. Over a month had passed, and he had been drunk and made a scene, and cried in hiding, and had gone through all the troubles he should have gone through.

He thought that when he saw this naughty girl again, he could face her calmly, just like he faced Zi Yan.

But when they actually met, the strong desire to hold her in his arms had not diminished at all, and the feeling of being ignored by her made him feel like his heart was being torn apart and he felt like dying.

Helan Ruofeng resisted the urge in his heart. He wanted to rush over and ask her why she treated him like this now after seducing him. He wanted to rush over and kiss her fiercely, rub her into his bones, and become one with her forever.

But he didn't dare, he was afraid, he was afraid that this would push her away from him forever. So, he would rather stay with her from afar forever, as long as she was alive and well, he could endure anything.

Yu Xiaobai waited until Helan Ruofeng walked far away and was sure that he would not look back before looking at his back with resentment.

"Men are more ruthless than women. My heart is still full of this guy, and he can appear in front of me without any grudge. Sigh... I don't know how long it will take to get this guy out of my head." Yu Xiaobai sighed resentfully.

Things are unpredictable. There are not so many people in this world who are so in tune with each other, and there is no such thing as two people who love each other and will stay together for a lifetime.

"Master, aren't you going to marry the high priest? Why are you saying this?" Hei Duo, who had been following behind him, suddenly spoke up.

Yu Xiaobai turned her head and Heiduo wagged her tail at her ignorantly.

"Have you ever loved anyone? Have you ever felt a human heartbeat? Can you see the color of the sky?" Yu Xiaobai asked Hei Duo in annoyance.

"I love my master. I also have a heartbeat and I can see the color of the sky, my master." Heiduo answered Yu Xiaobai's question seriously.

"Okay, you win, you are such a good dog." Yu Xiaobai reached out and stroked Heiduo's head to show his praise.

"I'm not a dog." Heiduo corrected Yu Xiaobai's name.

"Heiduo, did you use to follow your former master like this all day long?" Yu Xiaobai couldn't help but ask curiously. The current Heiduo was exactly like the mobile surveillance camera that Lan Moqiu configured for her.

"Not really. If the master doesn't summon me, I can move freely." Hei Duo said.

"I didn't summon you, can you find a place to play by yourself?" Although Yu Xiaobai gave an order, his eyes were pleading.

"Okay, I'm disappearing. Remember to call me." Hei Duo said, and then he flashed away.

Yu Xiaobai walked into the City Defense Department and others weakly, and it was not until dark that he saw anyone get up to eat.

"Junior Sister Xiaoyu? Why are you here?" The person who came was Bai Xing.

"Once I've recovered, I'll come out to experience things with you guys." Yu Xiaobai looked at her and said.

She didn't have a deep impression of this girl. Before in Yunji Villa, she was probably the type who hid in a corner and didn't dare to offend anyone.

"Senior Sister Zi Yan and the eldest brother went on patrol together. Now it is Senior Sister Hong Ling and I's turn to patrol at night. Senior Brother Xing Fang and the others are with us." Bai Xing told Yu Xiaobai everything he wanted to know before he even asked.

"Who is staying in the inn?" Yu Xiaobai asked again.

"The women are Senior Sister Mo and Senior Sister Wei, and there are more men. Tong Yi and his followers all live there, as well as people from other sects." Bai Xing said with some envy.

"Rich people are different! They can even rent high-consumption places like inns for a long period of time." Yu Xiaobai couldn't help but complain.

"Junior Sister Xiaoyu, you should be very rich too, right?" Bai Xing asked Yu Xiaobai.

"Uh, haha, it's okay." Yu Xiaobai forgot that she was also staying in the inn.

Soon people from the City Defense Department prepared meals for them. There were two dishes and a soup. Although it was not sumptuous, it was not bad either.

At this time, Hongling also arrived late.

Yu Xiaobai ate with the two of them. They finished their meal quickly and then went out with the others.

Yu Xiaobai ate slowly, and soon Zhou Ze and Zi Yan came back.

"Xiao Yu..." Zi Yan.

"Junior Sister Xiaoyu..." Zhou Ze.

"Zi Yan, senior brother, I, Yu Xiaobai, am back!" When Yu Xiaobai saw the two of them, he excitedly stepped forward to greet them.

"Are you okay? You've been away for so long?" Zi Yan asked worriedly.

"It's been a while, almost two months." Zhou Ze calculated the days since Yu Xiaobai left.

Has it been that long? Yu Xiaobai himself didn't even notice it. After all, he was carefree in the priest's house and didn't have to worry about his identity being exposed.

"Zi Yan, Senior Brother, are there really so many monsters in Hanyu City now?" Yu Xiaobai asked. What kind of monsters are so numerous that one cannot catch them all even after three months of waiting?

"I don't know. According to current calculations, more than 30 people have been sucked dry by the monsters and died. The number of monsters killed by various sects of the immortal sects combined is also dozens. The patrols have been more frequent recently, but I haven't heard of anyone being killed." Zhou Ze said with a serious expression.

At this time, a large number of disciples from the Yuling Sect also returned.

"Is the Yuling Sect moving? Why are so many people coming?" Yu Xiaobai couldn't help but ask curiously.

"The Yuling Sect has its headquarters in Hanyu City, and has at least several hundred disciples. What you see is only a part of them," Zhou Ze explained.

Yu Xiaobai also saw Ling Yuwei. She glanced at Zi Yan and saw that she looked normal. It seemed that she did not hate Ling Yuwei.

"It seems that this big monster-catching family is quite harmonious now?" Yu Xiaobai couldn't help but teasing in this situation.

Sometimes you can't say too much nice things. Yu Xiaobai mentioned harmony one moment and someone started fighting over occupying a seat the next.

"The people from Chonghai Sect and Haiyi Pavilion started fighting." Someone said immediately.

"The Haiyi Pavilion can't stand the Chonghai Sect imitating them, and the Chonghai Sect also can't stand the Haiyi Pavilion being so superior. I said that a fight would happen sooner or later." Xing Fang analyzed aside.

"The Chonghai Sect can't defeat the Haiyi Pavilion?" Chu Huaiqin said with certainty.

"I don't think so. We'll know only after we fight." Xing Fang said again.

"What's there to argue about? Why not just make a bet?" Yangli Yun immediately suggested.

The group of male disciples around him immediately rubbed their hands, eager to give it a try.

"Bang..." Zhou Ze slammed the table hard, and those people immediately fell silent.

"Hurry up and eat, then do whatever you need to do after eating." Zhou Ze gave an order, and everyone became quiet.

The fight between Chonghai Sect and Haiyi Pavilion ended with Haiyi Pavilion's complete victory. The people of Chonghai Sect stood there to finish their meal dejectedly and then went back to their rooms to rest.

The people from Haiyi Pavilion also looked at the defeated people from Chonghai Sect with a look of disgust.

After dinner, the three of them sat for a while.

"Xiao Yu, where do you live?" Zi Yan asked.

"I'm still staying in the same inn as before." Yu Xiaobai replied.

"Do you want to move in and live with Junior Sister Zi Yan?" Zhou Ze asked. He was worried about Yu Xiaobai staying alone in the inn, and the distance was not close.

"It's okay. Senior Sister Mo and Tong Yi are still in the inn. If anything really happens, I'll find them." Yu Xiaobai said hypocritically.

If something really happens, those guys combined are no match for her, and she won't count on them.

"Yes, be sure to ask them for help if you have any problems, and try not to go out alone at night." Zhou Ze reminded.

"Aren't there only men who were killed?" Yu Xiaobai asked.

“Not only that, after you went back, there were also young women who were killed one after another. They were all drained of their energy and their souls were taken away.” Zi Yan said seriously.

"What? They took away the soul?" Yu Xiaobai got nervous when she heard the word soul. In her opinion, the soul was the soul. If the soul was taken away, then she was completely doomed.

"That's right. These people, both men and women, were drained of their energy and died. Their souls were also taken away." Zi Yan said.

"Then, we should protect these people well." Yu Xiaobai thought.

"You can rest tonight. I will help you make arrangements tomorrow. You can do night watch or patrol if you want." Zhou Ze said.

"Okay, then I'll go back to the inn first." Yu Xiaobai said and stood up to leave.

"I'll see you off." Zhou Ze stood up and said when he saw her leaving.

"No, I can do it." Yu Xiaobai refused.

"You are a woman walking at night..." Zhou Ze wanted to say something, but Yu Xiaobai raised his hand to stop him.
