Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"Master..." Yu Xiaobai wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to start. She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, as if she was the person who was fickle.

"Go and live a good life." Lan Moqiu turned his back and stopped looking at her and speaking.

"Helan Ruofeng thanks the high priest for his help." Helan Ruofeng bowed respectfully to Lan Moqiu, turned around, grabbed Yu Xiaobai's hand, and strode out.

Outside the house, Hei Duo also followed the two of them and chased out.

Fu Yue felt something was wrong, so he walked into the room, bowed to Lan Moqiu, and asked, "Lord Cangmo, are you going to let Lord Demon King go back to Luoqueyuan?"

If Yu Xiaobai stayed in Yuwu City, I believed that even if Hu Xiu had the courage of a god, he would not dare to cause trouble. But if he went to Luoqueyuan, I couldn't guarantee it.

"Let her go. If she wants to come back one day, she will come back naturally. As for what your great elder should do, it is naturally not my turn as an outsider to interfere." Lan Moqiu said weakly.

"Thank you, Lord Cang Mo. Fu Yue will take his leave now." Fu Yue bowed and left in a hurry.

Lan Moqiu was a little uneasy and staggered towards the spiritual spring. He had to heal his injuries as soon as possible.

Since she has made her choice, he should protect her! After all, debts must be repaid. She sacrificed herself for his so-called unbreakable love, and now it is time for him to repay the debt.

On the way back to Yuwu City with Fu Yue, Yu Xiaobai let Helan Ruofeng hold his hand and walked blindly.

She always felt empty inside, and all that came to her mind were the years when Lan Moqiu was with her, most of which were when she was still Xue'er.

At that time, Yu Xiaobai walked on four legs and crawled on the ground most of the time. He was always in a world looking up at Lan Moqiu.

She liked her beautiful face, his gentle smile and gaze without any discrimination, he liked lifting his wide sleeves to elegantly pick up food for her, and she liked him gently brushing away her excess hair when she snuggled in his arms.

He had been with her for four years. Any other woman would have married him! Some would even kill for him, just like Sa Yulong.

However, when all these little things gathered into Yu Xiaobai's heart, he was clearly moved, but it was not love.

Yu Xiaobai couldn't help but look up at the person walking in front of her. Helan Ruofeng was also looking back at her. He smiled at her without saying anything, and then turned his head to look at the road carefully.

That’s right, it’s this feeling, the heartbeat will accelerate, there will be a warm feeling in the heart, and their clasped hands will become very warm. This is the emotion that love should have.

Yu Xiaobai secretly made a decision in her heart. She had given up on Helan Ruofeng once, which made him very sad.

Therefore, he would not make the same mistake again this time. Not only would he make Lan Moqiu sad, but he would also make Helan Ruofeng sad again.

"Ruofeng, let's get married when we return to Luoqueyuan." She suddenly spoke in a firm tone.

This sentence is not a question, but a firmness and affirmation of a decision that has already been made.

"Hmm?" Helan Ruofeng turned around and saw her determined gaze at this moment. After a slight pause, he nodded and replied, "Okay."

Fu Yue and Hei Duo on the side were both confused. How could these two people come up with such ideas?

Fu Yue shook his head to indicate that he didn't know. Hei Duo frowned at him, blew a breath, and ignored him.

After returning to Yuwu City, Yuan Ze listened to Yu Xiaobai's idea and did not agree with her leaving Yuwu City.

"Young man, you can leave. I don't recommend you to leave." Yuan Ze used a respectful title and said seriously.

"Old man, what do you mean? What do you mean he can leave but I can't? Do you know that I like him? After I marry him, we will be husband and wife. There is a saying that goes, 'The husband sings and the wife follows.' Wherever he is, I will be there, and we will leave together." Yu Xiaobai was suddenly angered by what he said.

She was already feeling somewhat depressed because of Lan Moqiu's matter, and now that Yuan Ze had accidentally caught her in the crossfire, she couldn't help but vent her anger on him.

"How can you speak to the Great Elder like that? The Great Elder said that for your safety. Don't forget that the Second Elder can attack you in the human world. If you go to the demon world, wouldn't it be easier for him to do anything to you?" Sang Zi had respected Yuan Ze since he was a child, so naturally he couldn't bear to see him being yelled at by a little girl.

"Sangzi, don't be rude." Yuan Ze immediately spoke up to stop Sang Zi.

"Great Elder, you were originally concerned about her safety. Back then, when they were outside the Danxia Secret Realm, they were indeed besieged by Elder Hu Xiu and his men!" Sang Zi said loudly, not hesitating to disobey Yuan Ze's orders.

"It was you who wanted to steal my Pi Lingzhu in Xingyue Imperial City, right? Is it you? The one who stole my things? Could it be a good thing?" Yu Xiaobai's eyes were very sharp and he recognized at a glance that Sang Zi was the one who stole her things in Xingyue Imperial City.

"So what if it's me? The Pi Lingzhu is the best thing in the Three Realms to conceal the aura of demons. Isn't it normal for me, a demon walking in the human world, to want to get it? I never thought of hurting you." Sang Zi admitted that he was the one who was there.

"You admit it, right? You admit that you are a bad guy, right? Since you are a bad guy, then your boss is not a good guy either, so he is even less trustworthy." Yu Xiaobai retorted sharply to Sang Zi.

"Xiao Yu, there's no need for us to waste our breath, let's go!" Helan Ruofeng said no more, grabbed Yu Xiaobai and walked out.

"No..." Yuan Ze shouted again.

"What? Do you want to bully us on your territory?" Yu Xiaobai said, and made a look as if he was ready to fight.

Helan Ruofeng was not to be outdone and immediately went into alert.

Hei Duo naturally began to look at Yuan Ze with a grin.

"Of course you two can leave. I don't want to force you to stay here, but..." Yuan Ze's eyes couldn't help but linger on Sang Zi and Fu Yueren.

"But what?" Yu Xiaobai asked again in an unpleasant tone.

"You have to let one of my subordinates go with you two." Yuan Ze was afraid that he would misunderstand him again, so he immediately explained: "I am not monitoring you, but I am worried that Hu Xiu will harm you two."

"Why do I feel that what you said is a bit fake, old man?" Yu Xiaobai said directly with a fake smile.

"What I said is absolutely true. You can choose one of them at will. You can order him around at will. In the future, he will only be at your service and obey you. From now on, I will no longer care about him at all." Yuan Ze said very seriously and earnestly, with a very sincere tone.

"Ruofeng, what do you think?" Yu Xiaobai asked, tilting his head.

"I think it's okay to have someone follow me, but..." Helan Ruofeng paused, then continued: "If the Great Elder is really willing to give us two a free guard, we will accept it. But this person is you who offered it, and we don't know whether you are sincere or have ulterior motives. Why not sign a master-servant contract with one of us?"

Once the master-servant contract is signed, betraying the master or wanting to harm the master will be retaliated by the contract. Therefore, unless the other party is ready to die, they will not easily do anything to harm the two of them.

"Of course, who do you want?" Yuan Ze agreed to Helan Ruofeng's request without any hesitation.

"Great Elder..." Sang Zi and Fu Yue shouted loudly.

Both of them grew up with Yuan Ze and were loyal to him. Naturally, they were unwilling to leave him easily and become contracted servants of others.

"That one I'll choose, he looks more pleasing to the eye." Yu Xiaobai acted as if it was difficult to make a choice, his fingers hesitantly pointing here and there, finally pointing at Fu Yue.

"Great Elder, Fu Yue does not want to leave you." Fu Yue immediately knelt on one knee and begged.

"Fu Yue, since you respect me, you must obey my orders. Protecting Miss Xiaoyu's safety is my order to you now, and you must protect her with your life." Yuan Ze stretched out his hand to lift Fu Yue up from the ground and said solemnly. It was more like a request and an entrustment than an order.

"Do you agree? If you agree, I will sign a contract for the two of you." Helan Ruofeng said deliberately with some impatience.

"Okay, Fu Yue is willing." Although Fu Yue was unwilling, he still knelt on one knee and said to Yu Xiaobai.

"Wait..." Yu Xiaobai immediately pointed at Helan Ruofeng and said, "You have to watch him."

"What does this mean?" Fu Yue understood what Yu Xiaobai meant.

"Ruofeng, you know what I mean, right?" Yu Xiaobai blinked at Helan Ruofeng.

Helan Ruofeng was just slightly stunned, then he understood what Yu Xiaobai meant, and began to form the contract as quickly as possible.

By the time Yuan Ze reacted to the actions between the two, Helan Ruofeng had successfully turned Fu Yue into his own slave.

"Great Elder, what does this mean?" Sang Zi didn't see the connection between the two.

"Since it has become a foregone conclusion, let it be so!" Yuan Ze saw through it but did not say it out loud. He just sighed slightly.

"Thank you for your help, Great Elder. Fu Yue, let's go!" Helan Ruofeng smiled slightly and called out in a gentle tone.

"Yes, master." Fu Yue's face looked a little ugly, but he had to obey the damn master-servant contract, and followed Helan Ruofeng and Yu Xiaobai dejectedly.

"Great Elder, they are really going too far. How can they let Fu Yue be a slave to that mortal?" Sang Zi finally understood why Yuan Ze sighed.

"Forget it, forget it. Once the master-servant contract is signed, it cannot be terminated during a lifetime, unless the master is willing to give up his soul and spirit as the price." Yuan Ze raised his hand to stop Sang Zi.

"Yes." Sang Zi responded in a deep voice, but the anger in his tone could not be suppressed. It was too much that two young boys could tease their great elder like this.

"You don't need to feel excessive. Since Helan Ruofeng is willing to be with the Demon King, it's feasible for Fu Yue to be with either of them. What I want is someone to stay by their side to prevent Hu Xiu from doing anything bad to them." Seeing that Sang Zi was still angry, Yuan Ze tried to comfort him.

"I understand, Great Elder, I understand. I am just angry that they teased you like this." Sang Zi also knew what this meant, but he was still a little angry.

Outside Yuwu City...

Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng walked with brisk steps. They were both secretly delighted about what had just happened. They just picked up a servant for Ruofengbai.

Even if they were using it to monitor her, so what? Now, he had become their slave, and there was a master-servant contract between them. Were they still afraid that he would turn the tables?

"Fu Yue, right? From now on, your master is Young Master Helan, and my master is Miss Xiaoyu. After they get married, we will be a family. I can recognize you as my brother and protect you." Hei Duo began to chat with Fu Yue very enthusiastically.

"Who wants to become brothers with you, an ancient ferocious beast?" Fu Yue glanced at Hei Duo, his tone was very indifferent and distant.

"Don't be like this! I am one of the few ancient ferocious beasts. You should feel very honored to be my brother." Hei Duo continued shamelessly.

Fu Yue glared at him again and stopped talking.

"You were so cute when you took us to find Lord Cangmo before. Why are you so uncute now? Right! Master, am I right?" Hei Duo asked Yu Xiaobai very ignorantly.

"Heiduo, I don't know whether he is cute or not, but you are very uncute now." Yu Xiaobai still cared about Fu Yue's feelings.

Regardless of whether he was Yuan Ze's spy, he was still Yuan Ze's subordinate, and he had no choice in what to do, just like he had to make those decisions in order to hide his identity.

"I understand, master." Heiduo understood what Yu Xiaobai said and immediately became respectful.

"Fu Yue, as long as you don't do anything to hurt us, we won't treat you unfairly. I won't treat you as a slave either, I will only treat you the same as me." Helan Ruofeng said when he saw Fu Yue didn't say anything.

He had signed the master-servant contract for the sake of his and Yu Xiaobai's safety, not because he really wanted Fu Yue to become his servant.

"Fu Yue has no ill will towards the two of them. However, now that the contract has been signed, Fu Yue will be loyal to his master for life and will never regret it." Fu Yue is not a very stubborn person. Since it is the Great Elder's determination to guard the Demon King, then it is also his determination.

"That's good." Helan Ruofeng smiled at him politely, without the slightest overbearing attitude of a host.

Seeing Helan Ruofeng like this, Fu Yue felt a little relieved. If he could meet a master who valued friendship and loyalty, even if he was a slave, his life would not be in vain. If there was only one regret, it was that this master was not of the same race as him, but a human whose identity he could not see through.

The four of them chatted casually along the way, talking about their experiences in the demon world in a very harmonious manner. Until they passed Fengmu Ridge, Yu Xiaobai suddenly stopped and asked He Lu to return to Luoqueyuan.

"Fu Yue, this road doesn't seem to be the way we came before?" she asked with some doubt.

"This road is a little shorter and will pass through Maple Ridge." Fu Yue said truthfully.

This road to Luoqueyuan is not only flat, but also much shorter.

"What? Maple Ridge?" Yu Xiaobai couldn't help but scream.

"The elder clearly told you to follow because he was worried that Hu Xiu would do something bad to us. Why did you still take us this way?" Helan Ruofeng immediately asked vigilantly.

"Master, Fu Yue has no such intention. We can change the route immediately. I just don't know why you are so... so surprised?" Fu Yue was also confused by Yu Xiaobai's question. He really had no intention of hurting them.

“Before we decided to settle down in Luoqueyuan, my master took me and Master Helan to empty Hu Xiu’s house.” Hei Duo said, looking at Fu Yue with a smug look on his face.
