Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"Is it because of this? Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes?" Yu Xiaobai glanced at the people around him in confusion.

As expected, as soon as she said this, everyone around her looked at her with contempt. Could it be that her marriage to Lan Moqiu had angered everyone? Is teacher-student love so unacceptable here?

"Ah...haha, well, between me and Lan Moqiu, who is also my master, we have neither become disciples nor kowtowed to each other, and he has not taught me anything, so we can't be considered master and disciple." Yu Xiaobai explained without blushing.

"He didn't teach you anything. Where did you acquire all your life-long accomplishments?" Wei Xin asked aggressively.

"Um, well! How should I explain it?" Yu Xiaobai really didn't know how to explain it. She couldn't say that it was what she learned in Yunji Villa that year.

"He taught you magic, and you two are already master and apprentice. How come you are not master and apprentice?"

"That's right, she actually wants to marry her own master. How shameless."

"The New Moon Country's High Priest is an immortal. How many women in the world don't want to marry him?"

"No wonder she called the High Priest by his name before. It turns out that she had impure intentions at that time."

"I heard that the eldest lady of Yunji Villa was also crazy about it before..."

"In my opinion, this little disciple looks ordinary. He must have admired his master's appearance for a long time and wanted to become his disciple..."

The other guests and disciples of the immortal sect around also started talking at once, gossiping about Yu Xiaobai going to marry their master.

Damn, which bastard spread the news everywhere and ruined her reputation?

At this moment, Yu Xiaobai saw the culprit of this incident.

Helan Ruofeng just went out and saw Yu Xiaobai's eyes sparkling, without any trace of the depressed look from yesterday.

"Helan Ruofeng, come out with me, I have something to tell you." Yu Xiaobai rushed over, grabbed his collar viciously and dragged him out.

Helan Ruofeng was originally immersed in the beautiful memories of last night, but when Yu Xiaobai dragged him like this, he cooperated very well and followed her out of the inn.

When they arrived at a secluded place, Yu Xiaobai stared at Helan Ruofeng.

"Xiao Yu, what do you want to say that brought me here?" Helan Ruofeng had a look of anticipation on his face, secretly wondering if she had thought it through and decided not to marry the high priest.

"Did you tell them that I was going to marry Lan Moqiu?" Yu Xiaobai asked word by word with gritted teeth.

"This matter?" Helan Ruofeng raised his head and thought for a moment.

Did he say that? It seemed like he did. He was drunk and said a lot of nonsense during those few days. I guess he let it slip at that time.

Thinking of this, Helan Ruofeng nodded.

"..."Yu Xiaobai looked at Helan Ruofeng like an idiot.

"I was really sick last night to have that kind of thought about you. You are a fickle person who is easily attracted by other people." Yu Xiaobai said angrily.

"Xiao Yu, what did you think of me last night?" Helan Ruofeng listened to the key points.

"You bastard, you made me the target of public criticism. Don't you know that gossip can make a person melt? Now they are looking at me as if I have seen a ghost, just like a monkey. It's all because of you." Yu Xiaobai said angrily and turned away.

"Xiao Yu, I didn't mean it. If you really mind, I'll go and tell them to shut up." Helan Ruofeng apologized quickly when he saw that she was really angry.

"How do you make them shut up? Sew their mouths shut or kill them? Humph!" Yu Xiaobai ignored him and left angrily.

Helan Ruofeng stood there, at a loss as to what to do. It turned out that there was a price to pay for saying the wrong thing.

Back at the inn, Yu Xiaobai had had enough of cursing and finally came to her senses. Anyway, these people were strangers who were not important to her at all, so why should she care about their opinions?

Lan Moqiu was so good to her, he had given so much for her, and he had saved her life many times. Yu Xiaobai didn't feel wronged at all to be able to marry him.

As for Helan Ruofeng, so what if I like him? There will be a day when we will fight each other, so it is better to cherish the days we are together now.

Helan Ruofeng chased back to the inn to see Yu Xiaobai. Yu Xiaobai was no longer angry with him, and the two of them made an appointment to travel together.

This time Helan Ruofeng did not dare to take the initiative. He followed Yu Xiaobai like a follower, which made Yu Xiaobai a little uncomfortable.

When Yu Xiaobai was lamenting the feeling of having no one to hold his hand, there was a sudden commotion not far away.

The two looked at each other and hurried over.

"What happened?" Helan Ruofeng asked as soon as he arrived.

"Junior Sister Mo was just attacked by the demon tribe." Tong Yi replied hurriedly.

I saw that Mo Xiaotan's clothes on the shoulders were torn and there was faint blood seeping out.

"What exactly happened? Was your team attacked by monsters? It's broad daylight now." Helan Ruofeng asked.

Since they set out in a group, they have not encountered any attacks from demons.

"Junior Sister Mo fell behind for a while just now and was not with us." Tong Yi hurried forward and said.

"I had some abdominal pain, so I walked slower and fell a few steps behind. Suddenly he appeared and attacked me." Mo Xiaotan said in horror.

She was so frightened that her hands were still shaking.

"Before, whenever the demon appeared, it would directly suck people's blood and essence and take away their souls. Why did it suddenly attack you this time?" Huo Ning from the Yuling Sect suddenly asked in confusion.

"That's right. Don't the demons only suck people's blood and essence and take away their souls? Why would they attack you?" Helan Ruofeng asked curiously.

"I was also attacked by the demon tribe last night." Yu Xiaobai stepped forward and said, "Last night, I was also attacked on the way back to the inn from the City Defense Division. However, my spirit pet protected its master, and the guy ran away after having one of his arms bitten off."

"What? Your pet is so powerful?" one of them asked.

"How can it not be powerful? It's an ancient ferocious beast!" Someone from the Yuling Sect who knew the inside story said immediately.

"This girl is really amazing. She can catch an ancient ferocious beast and use it as a spiritual pet." One person praised with envy.

"Can't you just look at me first?" Mo Xiaotan shouted angrily.

She was already scared enough. Not only did no one care about her, but they were also discussing a damned thing.

"Junior Sister Mo, let me take you back to the inn to apply medicine!" Mo Xiaotan's follower Wei Xin stepped forward to support her.

"Just in case, let me escort you two back!" Tong Yi also volunteered to step forward.

"Then you should hurry back to the inn and try not to go out until your injuries are healed." Huo Ning said seriously.

"Okay." Tong Yi responded and followed Mo Xiaotan and Wei Xin.

"Everyone must be careful in the future. The demon tribe is now attacking even the disciples of the immortal sects. Remember not to be alone. If you have any problems, you can go to the City Defense Department for help. The leaders of various immortal sects are there." Huo Ning said it again loudly.

The onlookers then dispersed in a bustling crowd.

"What do you think, isn't it good for everyone to live in peace?" Seeing everyone disperse, Yu Xiaobai asked Helan Ruofeng who was standing beside him.

"It would be best if we could coexist peacefully. Perhaps the demon race is inherently aggressive, and conflicts are inevitable." Helan Ruofeng thought for a while before replying.

"What do you mean the demon race is inherently aggressive?" Yu Xiaobai rolled his eyes at Helan Ruofeng.

Yu Xiaobai is not aggressive at all, she loves peace. Her principle has always been "I will not offend others unless they offend me, but if someone offends me, I will avoid them first."

"Maybe... I didn't assert that they are aggressive by nature." Helan Ruofeng immediately explained when he saw that she was angry.

"It's as if immortals and humans are not good at fighting. If they are not good at fighting, where would wars come from? Where would dynasties change? Aren't wars always caused by aggressive people?"

Yu Xiaobai argued that she was such a kind person and didn't want to bear the reputation of being aggressive among the demons.

In the next few days, everyone was divided into several teams and several time periods as usual to patrol every street corner in Hanyu City.

Such days were quite leisurely, except that female disciples would be attacked from time to time. As long as a female disciple was left alone, she would be attacked.

The other party did not kill anyone, but simply injured people tentatively, and withdrew once they succeeded.

But just this alone caused panic among the people of the entire Hanyu City. Many women began to stay indoors, and even the female disciples of the Immortal Sect had to be accompanied by male disciples when traveling.

In the corner, Ji Wu frowned. He didn't see the appearance of the female disciple of the Immortal Sect clearly that night, so he only remembered the dog.

Now the elders wanted him to find the dog, but he couldn't even find the dog's owner. How could he find the dog? So he used the stupidest method. Didn't the dog protect its owner? He decided to assassinate the female disciples of the Immortal Sect one by one.

Unfortunately, a few days passed, half a month passed, and then another half a month passed, but the dog was never seen again.

Ji Wu could only return to the demon world with his head down.

Demon Realm, Maple Ridge, Chief Affairs Office...

After listening to Ji Wu's report, Hu Xiu started to curse him.

"Why would I accept a fool like you as my subordinate? If you keep assassinating them one by one, when will it be your turn? If you haven't found the evil spirit yet, the people from the Immortal Sect will kill you first." Hu Xiu pointed at Ji Wu's head and cursed.

"Elder, I know I was wrong. I was stupid." Ji Wu said while kneeling on the ground.

"You are wrong. You are stupid. What is a Huodou? It is a ferocious beast. What does he like? He likes to play with fire." Hu Xiu pointed at Ji Wu's nose and scolded.

"Elder, I know I was wrong and I know what to do." Ji Wu kowtowed to Hu Xiu and admitted his mistake.

"You know you are wrong, and you know what to do. Now tell me what you are going to do?" Hu Xiu pointed at Ji Wu and asked.

"Let our subordinates set fire to Hanyu City and lure that beast out." Ji Wu said quickly.

"That's right, go quickly." Hu Xiu was satisfied after hearing this answer and let him go.

Ji Wugang had just walked out of the main hall when he saw a man walking towards him. This man looked exactly like him. It was his twin brother, Ji Zhang.

"Brother, why are you back?" As soon as Ji Wu saw his brother, he immediately greeted him warmly.

"Nosy." Ji Zhang snorted coldly, ignored Ji Wu and walked into the main room.

Seeing him like this, Ji Wu shook his head and walked away in boredom.

Hu Xiu saw Ji Zhang's eyes light up, and asked hurriedly: "How is it? Did you find any clues?"

“My Lord, I bribed a manager of the Wanbao Pavilion and learned from him that someone from the Immortal Sect once exchanged the Soul Gathering Pill for a Pi Lingzhu.” Ji Zhang replied coldly.

"Do you know what sect this immortal person belongs to?" Hu Xiu asked with shining eyes after hearing Ji Zhang's words.

"Lan Moqiu, the high priest of the Crescent Moon Dynasty." Ji Zhang said.

"Oh! It's this person again? Where did he come from? What does he want the Pi Lingzhu for?" Hu Xiu asked suspiciously.

He had heard some rumors about this person, but he had no idea who he was, where he came from, or what his background was.

"I haven't inquired about this in detail." Ji Zhang replied.

"Go and find out the origins of this high priest and who is around him." Hu Xiu suddenly became interested in this high priest from the human world.

"Okay, if there is nothing else, I will withdraw." Ji Zhang said, and waited quietly for Hu Xiu's instructions.

"Go!" Hu Xiu waved his hand, his heart full of doubts.

New Moon, Yunji Villa...

Sa Yulong ran into a wall at the priest's house, and she vented her anger when she returned to Yunji Villa. She threw everything in the house that could be smashed, and the floor was full of porcelain fragments. There was also Ziyun, who was kneeling on the floor and trembling, and another new little girl, Ruoning.

"Yu Xiaobai, Yu Xiaobai, as long as you dare to marry Brother Lan, I will not let you go." Sa Yulong spoke harshly and slammed his fist on the table.

She originally wanted to smash something, but there was nothing left in the room to smash.

"I don't believe that Brother Lan is really willing to marry that stinky girl. They are master and disciple." Sa Yulong showed a faint smile. Since she couldn't stop it, she would let public opinion stop it.

After figuring it out, she immediately got up and went to the Crescent Moon Imperial City.

When she arrived at the imperial city, she found a group of vagrants and beggars wandering the streets.

"Would you like to do something that can make money?" She asked the beggars in tattered clothes with disgust on her face.

If these people were not necessary for this matter, she would feel disgusted even getting close to them.

"It depends on what the matter is. We won't do anything that is against the will of mankind." The leading beggar stepped forward and said.

"You don't need to do anything harmful. You just need to spread some true news everywhere." Sa Yulong snorted coldly and said to the beggar.

"What news?" the beggar asked again.

"This..." Sa Yulong threw the words he had written in advance and a bag of not a small amount of silver to the beggar.

"What is this?" The beggar took the paper and opened it, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Is the high priest really going to marry her disciple? Isn't this a ridiculous thing that goes against human ethics and intolerable by heaven? Are you making this up or is it true?" the beggar immediately asked seriously.

"Of course it's true. As a member of the Crescent Kingdom, I can't bear to see the high priest of the country being so depraved. So, can you help me stop this from happening?" Seeing that the beggar didn't want the high priest to commit incest, Sa Yulong immediately said with pretended sadness.

"Of course, as a member of the Crescent Kingdom, we certainly don't want to see the high priest commit such a heinous act because of a woman." The beggar said righteously.

"Okay, then it's settled. I want you to let everyone in the Crescent Imperial City know about this as quickly as possible." Sa Yulong immediately changed her expression and said, "If you can prevent this from happening, I will reward you double." For Sa Yulong, things that can be solved with money are trivial matters.

What this world values ​​most is ethics, teacher ethics, righteousness, and orthodoxy. If you want to easily stop Lan Moqiu and Yu Xiaobai from getting married, the best way is to condemn and use public opinion.

Sa Yulong knew clearly that as long as Lan Moqiu wanted to gain a foothold in Xinyue, as long as he wanted to keep his position as high priest, he would be bound by Xinyue's etiquette.

As expected, rumors are something that spreads with the wind. They are invisible and intangible, but they are the easiest to incite people.

Within three days, the news that the New Moon High Priest was going to marry his own disciple spread like wildfire and soon reached every street and alley in the New Moon Imperial City.

From the eighty-year-old old man to the three-year-old child, everyone knew that the high priest had been seduced by the seductive disciple.
