Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

Did Ruofeng also know her identity? It seemed that he knew, otherwise he wouldn't have taken her to hide in such a remote place.

There are pink crystal stones on the top of the cave. She guessed that this is an isolated island in the secret realm of Danxia Peak. It's really hard for this guy to hide here.

Helan Ruofeng felt his cheek was a little itchy, so he reached out and scratched it. Yu Xiaobai cried out in pain.

"Xiao Yu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, does it hurt? I forgot that your hand was also injured, I'm sorry!" His fingers pinched the exact spot where Yu Xiaobai was injured, and he was so scared that he quickly moved his fingers to his wrist.

"It's okay..." Yu Xiaobai shook his head gently, his eyes never leaving his face.

"Is there something on my face?" Helan Ruofeng rubbed his face nervously.

"No, I just think you're pretty and I want to take a closer look at you." Yu Xiaobai's voice was very soft, a little hoarse and ethereal.

This was a sign of lack of energy after recovering from a serious injury, making her look very different from her previous lively image.

"Aren't you afraid that people will say you're having an affair again?" Helan Ruofeng looked at her and said in her voice.

"Don't be afraid. There are only two of us here anyway. They can't say anything even if they want to." Yu Xiaobai shamelessly argued.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?" Helan Ruofeng asked again.

Yu Xiaobai stretched out his hands and looked left and right. The scars on both hands had already scabbed over. The scar on his right hand, which was pierced, was neat and no longer painful. However, the left side, which was scratched by Lan Ruofeng just now, was still a little painful.

She inserted a finger into the hole in her abdomen and found that it had been bandaged and didn't seem to hurt anymore.

She knew that her injuries were not serious, and the reason she was unconscious was because she had not received medical treatment for a long time and had lost too much blood.

"Hehe, I don't seem to feel uncomfortable anywhere, just my stomach. I'm hungry." Yu Xiaobai said, showing a row of white teeth.

"I'll go find something to eat for you." Helan Ruofeng was also very hungry. Before rescuing Yu Xiaobai, he had been hungry for several days.

After arriving at the cave, he was worried about Yu Xiaobai's injury and had no time to find food. He was too hungry to bear it, so he took the pills left by Taibu Xingjun to replenish himself, and he was able to hold on.

When Yu Xiaobai said he was hungry, he suddenly felt very hungry too.

Just like in the past, Helan Ruofeng rolled up his clothes and caught fish in the pond, while Yu Xiaobai leaned on a rock and watched him operate, but this time Jin Xuan was missing, and the two of them also swapped roles.

The last time, Yu Xiaobai and Jin Xuan were in charge of catching fish, while Helan Ruofeng sat down to practice qigong and regulate his breathing after fighting the red snake demon.

Helan Ruofeng used a bunch of messy tricks and took a lot of effort to catch a few fish.

He began to roast the fish over the fire, just like Yu Xiaobai did last time. Yu Xiaobai looked at him with satisfaction throughout the whole process.

Alas, Yu Xiaobai thought, now she and Helan Ruofeng are just like Dongfang Bubai and Linghu Chong, away from the world and enjoying a brief peace.

Once her injuries are healed, the two of them will leave here and return to the clearly divided human world. Faced with the struggle between the immortals and the demons, they will begin to be helpless in their own way.

"I don't want to be Dongfang Bubai!" She pouted and said with a bitter face.

"What are you talking about?" Helan Ruofeng was concentrating on grilling the fish and didn't hear what she said.

Yu Xiaobai wondered whether this guy knew her identity.

Knowing, yet still so calm? Not minding at all? Not knowing, yet not curious about why she was injured? Where did he rescue her from?

"Ruofeng..." Yu Xiaobai called out cautiously.

"Hmm..." Helanruo responded without even raising her head.

"Ruofeng..." Yu Xiaobai called out again tentatively.

"Hmm..." Helan Ruofeng still ignored her.

"How did you bring me here?" Yu Xiaobai asked tentatively. She decided to ask step by step and not get straight to the point, in case his answer was unexpected.

"I came here just by carrying you. It's not like I can't carry you." Helan Ruofeng's answer was indeed a bit unexpected.

"Oh..." Yu Xiaobai sighed. She didn't mean it literally.

"You want to ask what happened after you were injured?" Helan Ruofeng still didn't look up, but his heart was already turbulent.

Should he take this opportunity to ask her whether she is a demon? Should he ask or not? If she answers yes, what will he do?

"Well... you know... then, what happened after I was injured? Why did we end up here? How is Lan Moqiu?" Yu Xiaobai was not a person who liked to beat around the bush, but she was not sure how to ask this question.

If she asked at this moment, Helan Ruofeng might suddenly have a manic attack out of love turning into hate, and kill her in this cave and throw her body into the pond. I'm afraid no one would find her even if she was reincarnated for ten lifetimes.

"When I heard Zi Yan say you were injured, I rushed into the priest's house and saw the high priest confronting Sect Leader Sa and many strangers. Sect Leader Sa said you were a demon and that you killed the real Xiaoyu. My master restrained the high priest, so I was able to snatch you away."

Helan Ruofeng finished telling what he had done in one breath.

"That's it? Is there anything else?" Yu Xiaobai looked unconvinced.

"You already know the rest. I brought you here." Helan Ruofeng still didn't look up. He really wanted to ask, "Are you a demon?", but he couldn't open his mouth.

"Lan Moqiu was subdued by your master? No wonder. After all, your master is in heaven. No matter how powerful Lan Moqiu is, he is only on earth." Yu Xiaobai was a little worried about Lan Moqiu, but it was not suitable for her to leave at this time. She decided to go find him after she recovered.

"My master won't hurt the high priest, Xiaoyu..." Helan Ruofeng glanced at her and continued to grill his fish as if unintentionally.

"Hmm..." Yu Xiaobai wondered why he suddenly called her but didn't say anything.

From what he said just now, he only heard from Sa Hun that he was a monster, and he himself was not sure. So did he believe what Sa Hun said?

"Master Sa said that you are from the demon tribe." Helan Ruofeng said half and kept the other half, "Are you from the demon tribe?" He could no longer utter these five words.

"Do you believe him?" Yu Xiaobai looked straight at Helan Ruofeng and asked.

"If I really am a demon, what will you do?" she asked again.

Helan Ruofeng continued to grill the fish seriously, but he didn't even look up at Yu Xiaobai.

"Ruofeng, let me ask you, if I am really a demon in Master Sa's sect, what will you do?" Seeing that he did not answer, Yu Xiaobai asked aggressively, his voice a little louder.

"I……"

Helan Ruofeng was very conflicted, he already had some guesses in his mind. Now that she asked him with this attitude, there was a high probability that she would not be able to escape.

"I ask you...ah..." Yu Xiaobai forgot that she was injured. She stood up quickly in excitement, which affected her wound and made her scream in pain.

"Little fish..." Helan Ruofeng heard her crying in pain, and without bothering to worry, he threw the fish aside, hurried forward to support her, and helped her sit back in her original position.

"Ruofeng, if I am really a demon..." Yu Xiaobai was blocked before he could say it again.

Helan Ruofeng didn't care about what she said and rudely covered her mouth with his hand to stop her from asking him any more questions.

"Xiao Yu, as long as you are still the Xiao Yu I know, I will accept you no matter you are a human or a monster." After Helan Ruofeng said this, he reached out and held her in his arms.

When he was in Chan City, he had suspected her identity, but he didn't think she was a demon. When Sect Leader Sa said she was a demon, he didn't believe it at all, until he spied her demon essence and inner elixir, he reluctantly believed it.

But his feelings for her did not waver in the slightest.

Helan Ruofeng might be confused for a short time, but it was only a short time, so short that when she woke up and her round eyes stared at him, all his hesitation disappeared.

What he wanted from the beginning to the end was a little fish, a complete little fish. No matter whether she was a human or a demon, as long as she was still herself, he would not regret it.

"What..." Yu Xiaobai couldn't believe her ears. She thought that he would hold the sword with the tip pointing directly at her heart, and he would ruthlessly ask her why she lied to him.

"For me, as long as you are Xiaoyu, nothing else matters." Helan Ruofeng's voice sounded in her ears.

"Is it not important that I'm a demon?" Yu Xiaobai asked in a low voice tentatively.

"It doesn't matter." Helan Ruofeng answered firmly.

"Doesn't it matter whether it's a red-banded snake demon?" Yu Xiaobai asked again.

"I know you are not a red-robed snake demon." Helan Ruofeng finally chuckled, gently pushed her away, and looked at her intently.

"How did you know?" Yu Xiaobai was curious. Lan Moqiu said that she suddenly changed her form because she sucked the blood and inner elixir of the red snake demon. Could it be that her true form should not be a red snake demon or a dog?

"I entered your spiritual world when you were unconscious. There was no demon body in your sea of ​​consciousness. There was only a ten-thousand-year-old demon pill, and the demon power was also very pure. So, I can't tell what your true body is." Helan Ruofeng explained honestly.

"How dare you do this to me." Yu Xiaobai couldn't help but raise his hand to hit Helan Ruofeng on the head.

"No, your hand hasn't healed yet, don't hurt it again." Helan Ruofeng quickly grabbed her hand and gently rubbed the scabbed cut on it.

"Ruofeng, don't you want to ask me why I am a demon?" Yu Xiaobai asked Helan Ruofeng.

She was thankful in her heart that what she thought would happen between them did not happen at all. Those horrific scenes that he could not imagine did not happen at all.

"The high priest knows your identity, right? You are already married? He is also a demon, right?" Helan Ruofeng asked instead of answering. Could it be that this is the reason why she was willing to marry the high priest?

"He knows my identity, but I know nothing about him. Our wedding hasn't been completed yet, so I'm not married to him yet." At this point, Yu Xiaobai could only confess everything to Helan Ruofeng.

"Why does he know your identity? How long have you known each other?" Helan Ruofeng suddenly became interested and asked seriously.

"Actually, I didn't know who I was at the beginning..." Yu Xiaobai recalled vaguely.

She could no longer remember whether she was the girl Xiaobai or the Pekingese Xue'er. Perhaps the fifteen years before she became Xue'er were just her dream.

"The moment I opened my eyes, a group of mountain villagers wanted to stew me. I became a dog. Before that, I was still a human..." Yu Xiaobai told her story in a slow pace.

"A dog..." Helan Ruofeng's eyes widened when he heard her words.

"It was Lan Moqiu who saved me and raised me. Later I found out that the dog's original owner was Sa Yulong." Yu Xiaobai continued.

"Are you the dog?" Helan Ruofeng was so excited that she almost jumped up. She was actually the dog jumping in the snow.

"I'm not a dog, I'm just suddenly trapped in a dog's body." Yu Xiaobai argued hard.

“Later, in order to stop Zi Yan, Sa Yulong probably took revenge on Zi Yan for not listening to her and insisting on entering Yunji Villa to practice Taoism, so she swapped our souls.” Yu Xiaobai recalled the years when he was Zi Yan, when he was hungry, bullied and excluded every day.

"So..." An answer was about to come out in Helan Ruofeng's mind, but he didn't dare to confirm it.

"So... this is the second time we've come to this cave together." Yu Xiaobai looked at Helan Ruofeng like an idiot.

"So, was it because of this reason that you sang and called yourself a stupid dog?" Helan Ruofeng asked Yu Xiaobai with sparkling eyes.

"Yes, I was the one who praised you for your good looks." Yu Xiaobai continued.

"So..." Helan Ruofeng was very excited. So, the person he liked from the beginning to the end was only Xiaoyu, not Zi Yan.

Therefore, he was not as fickle-minded and inconsistent as Xiaoyu said.

So, the woman he really liked was the dog in the high priest's arms.

His brows furrowed together, then slowly relaxed.

"Xiao Yu, I'm not fickle, nor am I changeable, nor have I fallen in love with someone else, right? Xiao Yu." Helan Ruofeng excitedly hugged Yu Xiaobai into his arms again. The feeling of regaining what he had lost was indescribable.

"Let go. If you keep strangling me, I'll be in trouble." Yu Xiaobai felt that this guy had no sense of propriety. He always hugged her like this. He was not like this before.

"Xiao Yu, can you tell me why you want to marry the high priest?" Letting go of Yu Xiaobai, Helan Ruofeng asked with a pleading look on his face.

"Because he is the only one who knows my identity, and he is the only one who is willing to do anything for me. He has saved me so many times, and I said I would marry him. People should keep their promises." Yu Xiaobai said solemnly.

"Even if you don't have him in your heart, are you still willing?" Helan Ruofeng asked puzzledly.

"Of course I am willing. His life-saving grace is greater than anything else. But marrying him doesn't cost me my life." Yu Xiaobai said calmly while looking at Helan Ruofeng.

He even knew the identities of the demon race, so it wouldn't hurt to know some more.

"So, you don't like him, right?" Helan Ruofeng asked again. He looked at her expectantly, waiting for her answer.

"Nonsense, why would I marry him if he doesn't like me? I consider him the closest person to me in this world. He doesn't have any other relatives. If I marry him, we can depend on each other." Yu Xiaobai did not hide his feelings for Lan Moqiu.

"Then...what about me?" Helan Ruofeng suddenly panicked. She liked the high priest, but what about him?

"You, I won't tell you." Yu Xiaobai knew that her love for Lan Moqiu was more of a family love, so she was not ashamed to say it out loud. As for Helan Ruofeng, it was a love from the bottom of her heart, and she knew it from the first time they met.

Although love at first sight is mostly based on the temptation of appearance, her love for Helan Ruofeng has extended from the appearance to the inside.

So, when he asked her what kind of liking she had for him, she found it difficult to put it into words.
