Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

As expected, the two people who were used to sleeping in each other's arms suffered from insomnia at the same time.

Yu Xiaobai tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. Helan Ruofeng felt the same as her.

The next morning, Yu Xiaobai was awakened by the sound of a gong just as he was falling asleep.

"Clang clang..."

"Oh my god, who is this psychopath..." Yu Xiaobai looked half dead. He sat up with a pair of panda eyes and squinted at the shining gong in front of him.

"Your Highness, you should get up for morning exercises." A strong maid stood in front of Yu Xiaobai and looked at her with a serious expression.

"Morning exercise? What exercise? I don't have that habit!" Yu Xiaobai spoke slurredly, looking at the maid with lifeless eyes, and then he lay down straight again.

"Your Highness, you have to get up for morning exercises. If you don't get up, I will ring the gong again." The maid looked at Yu Xiaobai and threatened without blinking.

"Stop knocking. I'll get up now. It's just morning exercise. What's there to be afraid of? It's not the first time." Yu Xiaobai cursed, and slowly sat up with a dying look, reaching out to touch the clothes beside him.

She finally understood why Yuan Ze's smile yesterday reminded her of the dean. Look, the instructor who supervised getting up came early in the morning. It seemed that her life would not be much better after becoming the demon king, and she was even deprived of the right to sleep in.

After Yu Xiaobai put on his clothes, he was taken by his maid to a large training ground.

"What? You're not going to let me run, are you? I can teleport easily with weight-bearing and sandbag-tying skills. Why are you still asking me to practice those?" Yu Xiaobai asked curiously, looking at the huge training ground.

"Xiao Yu girl, since you are here, start your morning exercises!" Yuan Ze's voice suddenly sounded from the side.

Yu Xiaobai looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yuan Ze leading Sang Zi and Fu Yue standing on the stands.

"Grandpa Elder, why are we doing morning exercises so early in the morning?" Yu Xiaobai asked with a complaining look on his face.

"Of course it's your physical fitness. As a qualified Demon King, you may face various challenges and attacks suddenly launched by the outside world to the demon world. As the master who protects the demon world, the Demon King must have excellent physical fitness, extremely high cultivation and a responsible attitude." Yuan Ze said, completely transformed into the appearance of an excellent dean of studies.

"Oh my god, I have a very good physical condition. I eat everything and I cook everything. I have never even been sick." Yu Xiaobai added hurriedly, and she was almost screaming to the sky.

"Little Yu girl, today the third elder will teach you the first compulsory course of Demon King." Yuan Ze did not listen to Yu Xiaobai's words, but solemnly introduced Ming Changyi.

As expected, Ming Changyi strode towards Yu Xiaobai with a proud look on his face.

"Your Highness Feng Xi, long time no see. I'm sorry for being rude." Ming Changyi humbly and politely performed the etiquette of a monarch and his subject to Yu Xiaobai.

Yu Xiaobai was startled and imitated him and returned the greeting.

Ming Changyi was a little flattered. He didn't expect that the reborn Princess Feng Xi was much more likable than the previous Princess Feng Xi.

"Your Highness, shall we begin?" Ming Changyi looked at Yu Xiaobai with a smile on his face. His eyes were not as if he was looking at the Lord of the Demon World, but as if he was looking at a young girl, his eyes were full of doting.

"Third Elder, if you want to start, I can't refuse!" Yu Xiaobai wanted to cry but had no tears. She hadn't slept all night, and when she finally fell asleep, she was abruptly awakened by the sound of a gong. She hadn't even eaten a bite of food when she was dragged to the training ground to do some morning exercises.

"Then I will begin now. Your Highness must listen carefully. I will only say it once." Ming Changyi said, and without waiting for Yu Xiaobai to react, he began to lecture her.

Ming Changyi roughly recounted the life stories of successive monarchs in the demon world, as well as some major events that had occurred in the demon world in the past.

Yu Xiaobai thought it would be running or something, but he didn't expect the first class to be so gentle, with just oral instruction.

At first, she could still listen to some of what he said. It would not be a bad idea to describe Ming Changyi's lectures as eloquent as a river. He became more and more excited as he spoke.

Yu Xiaobai also began to feel drowsy after listening to the lecture and could not help muttering, "I guess these three elders haven't spoken in tens of thousands of years! Why do they never stop talking once they start?" He even yawned and could not even lift his eyelids.

"Your Highness, is it that what I have said is not detailed enough?" Ming Changyi looked at Yu Xiaobai with a questioning look on his face.

"No, Third Elder, you explained it in great detail. It's just that you explained it in too much detail and I can't remember it!" Yu Xiaobai wanted to cry but had no tears. She thought that it was not so boring when she was practicing magic in Yunji Villa.

"Since this old minister has explained it in detail, why can't Your Highness remember it?" Ming Changyi became even more confused. If it wasn't explained in detail, there was another explanation for not being able to remember it. But if it was explained in great detail, what did it mean that you still couldn't remember it?

Yu Xiaobai's brows were unconsciously knotted. She was not very interested in this kind of thing!

"Since Your Highness can't remember, then I will explain it again." Ming Changyi patiently began to explain for the second time.

Yu Xiaobai's face was almost twisted with water, but he could only continue to listen to Ming Changyi's lecture under the gaze of Yuan Ze and others.

This lasted for several hours, until Xiaobai's stomach growled with hunger, Yuan Ze signaled Ming Changyi that he could stop.

"Your Highness, today's morning exercise ends here. You can go back and rest first. I will come again tomorrow." Ming Changyi said to Yu Xiaobai with a smile on his face.

Yu Xiaobai looked forward to it for a long time and finally the moment he finished speaking came. He did not bother to be polite and ran hurriedly towards Fengxuan Palace.

"What do you think?" Yuan Ze walked up to Ming Changyi and asked.

"She's pretty good. Although she's unwilling to learn, she was able to restrain herself and persist for so long, and she didn't seem unhappy with me at all. It shows that she treats people well." Ming Changyi expressed his opinion of Yu Xiaobai.

"Compared to Feng Xi ten thousand years ago?" Yuan Ze asked again.

"That person... is out of touch with the world, doesn't know how treacherous people are, is stubborn and selfish." Ming Changyi began to recall the Feng Xi in his memory.

"That's right. Xiaoyu is Feng Xi now, but she is no longer Feng Xi. She values ​​friendship and justice, and she will definitely be able to protect the demon world and prevent the demon people from being harmed by war and bullied by the gods." Yuan Ze said firmly with a determined look.

"I hope he can really shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the lord of the demon world!" Ming Changyi also placed his hopes for the prosperity of the demon world on Yu Xiaobai.

When Yu Xiaobai returned to Fengxuan Palace, Helan Ruofeng was already waiting for her in the main hall. When he saw him from afar, he hurried towards her.

"Xiao Yu, where have you been? Why did you take so long?" Helan Ruofeng asked anxiously.

"Oh, stop talking. Why did the First Elder arrange for the Third Elder to let me do some morning exercises? The result was that I was asked to go to the parade ground to listen to the Third Elder talk about the history of the demon world. He has been talking until now, and I am almost starving to death." Yu Xiaobai took Helan Ruofeng's arm and leaned weakly on his shoulder.

"Let's go back and eat. I was worried about you and haven't eaten yet. I'm hungry too." Helan Ruofeng reached out and touched Yu Xiaobai's head, speaking in a gentle tone.

"Ahem... Your Highness, please be careful and behave yourself." Suddenly, the maid who was tall and strong as an ox reminded them from behind.

"Don't be like this! We are in the passionate love period now, the passionate love period!" Yu Xiaobai looked back at the maid and said with disgust on his face.

"Your Highness, this is the request of the Great Elder. In order for Your Highness to better adapt to the identity of the Demon King and practice the Demon King's unique skills as soon as possible, we hope that you two can keep an appropriate distance." The maid did not care about Yu Xiaobai's feelings, and spoke in a stiff tone like a puppet.

Helan Ruofeng looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and he just didn't look at Yu Xiaobai.

"What do you mean? Say something?" Seeing Helan Ruofeng's look, Yu Xiaobai reached out and pushed him, asking sadly.

"Hahaha...what can I say? You are the Demon King now, and I have no right to speak." Helan Ruofeng said with a smile.

"Well, you have no right to speak, and neither do I. The right to speak lies in the hands of the Great Elder. Let's go, let's fill our stomachs first, hum!" Yu Xiaobai shook off Helan Ruofeng's hand, turned around to look at the maid, snorted angrily, and then ran away.

After the two of them had a meal together in Lanyuan Pavilion which was neither lunch nor dinner, they took a walk to digest the food accompanied by their maids.

It's called accompanying, but in fact it's just surveillance, for fear that the two of them would unconsciously hold hands while walking.

Every time the two unconsciously prepared to hold hands, the maid would cough with phlegm, and then the two unconsciously had to keep a safe distance.

As evening approached, the two separated again in the presence of their maid.

"Ruofeng, see you tomorrow!" Yu Xiaobai felt so aggrieved. The Great Elder was simply too cruel to torture them like this.

"Xiaoyu, see you tomorrow." Helan Ruofeng was not much better. He didn't expect that the girl he had to protect even if she left her parents was now being strictly controlled.

The next day, Yu Xiaobai was awakened by the sound of the gong again. Although she was also frightened, she had slept well the night before and was not in such a bad mood, so she simply got up and followed the maid.

It was still the same training ground as yesterday, and Ming Changyi’s smiling face was still there.

Yu Xiaobai listened to his lecture with a smile just like yesterday. No matter how much she didn't want to listen to Ming Changyi's nagging, she couldn't hit a smiling person, so how could she reject his kindness?

That day, she had enough sleep, and she was finally able to calm down and listen to Ming Changyi's explanation of the things that the demon king had to learn and be responsible for. Of course, there were also disadvantages. She didn't eat breakfast, and her empty stomach made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Forget it, I’ll just go back and have a big meal after listening to it.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaobai didn't feel so bad anymore.

Ming Changyi seemed very satisfied with Yu Xiaobai's performance and let her go back after talking for a while.

Returning to Fengxuan Palace today was very different from yesterday. Helan Ruofeng was not waiting for her outside the palace. When she returned to Lanyuan Pavilion disappointed, she saw that Helan Ruofeng had prepared a large table full of delicious food for her, all of which she liked.

"Xiao Yu, I guess you must have gone without eating like you did yesterday. I prepared food for you, thinking you could eat it when you come back." Helan Ruofeng said with eyes full of heartache.

"Ruofeng, you really know me well. What could be more important than eating?" Yu Xiaobai was happy and sat down next to Helan Ruofeng, waiting for him to feed him.

Helan Ruofeng immediately understood and picked up the dish that Yu Xiaobai liked and fed it into her mouth.

Yu Xiaobai was about to open her mouth when the maid behind her started coughing again.

"What a spoils the fun..." Yu Xiaobai twitched the corner of his mouth, and stood up aggrievedly and sat opposite Helan Ruofeng, picking up the chopsticks to pick up the food and eat it himself.

Helan Ruofeng was not angry at all. He smiled and put the food in her bowl.

Yu Xiaobai ate with gnashing teeth. Suddenly, she looked up and asked the maid behind her: "My beautiful lady, what is your name? How old are you?"

"Cough cough cough..." Helan Ruofeng coughed because of her words.

"I am 2,100 years old and have no surname. Your Highness may call me Dai'e." The maid replied respectfully.

Yu Xiaobai glared. Any maid from the demon tribe could be over two thousand years old?

"Ruofeng...we are still babies, no wonder we can't beat them." Yu Xiaobai said with a look of surprise.

"The demon race has a long lifespan. Perhaps you can live longer in the future." Helan Ruofeng said comfortingly.

"What about you?" Yu Xiaobai asked again.

"Me? I should be able to stay with you for a very long time." After taking Bai Qiyang's top-grade elixir, Helan Ruofeng is no longer the fledgling immortal cultivator.

"That's good. Without Ruofeng's company, it would be boring to live alone for too long." Yu Xiaobai curled his lips and said with satisfaction.

"By the way, you do morning exercises every morning. Is it tiring? Is there any difference between today's explanation and yesterday's?" Helan Ruofeng began to chat about Yu Xiaobai's homework.

"It's not that hard, but it's also quite annoying. I just listened to the Third Elder talking about some messy basic skills of the demon race. He said that once I have the basic skills, I can start practicing the supreme skills that are required of the Demon King." Yu Xiaobai said slowly while eating.

"Sister Dai E, would you like to sit down and eat with us?" She turned around and asked Dai E who had been standing.

"Your Highness, I cannot eat at the same table with you." Dai E replied expressionlessly.

"Um... okay!" Yu Xiaobai didn't make things difficult for her and continued eating.

"Xiao Yu, it's still early today, where should we go?" Helan Ruofeng asked again. This huge Fengling capital city must be very lively, and it would be nice to go out for a walk.

"Where does Ruofeng want to go?" Yu Xiaobai asked when he saw him like this.

"How about we go to the capital?" Helan Ruofeng said.

"Okay! I've been here for a few days, it's time to go out and take a look. I haven't visited the cities in the demon world yet." Yu Xiaobai liked Helan Ruofeng's suggestion.

After dinner, accompanied by Dai E, Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng finally walked happily on the territory of Fengling Capital.

The architecture in the demon world is completely different from that in the human world. Each building matches the attributes and preferences of its owner. For example, the bird demon's house looks like a huge bird's nest, the turtle's house looks like a big turtle shell, and the fox demon's house is charming and warm, and looks very attractive.

Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng were completely attracted by the architecture of the capital. No matter whose mansion they walked to, they would stop and watch for a long time, wanting to go in and take a look.

Only Dai E continued to follow the two of them with an expressionless face, neither speaking nor making any suggestions, looking like a statue.

"As expected of the capital of the demon world, the architectural style of the houses here must have gathered the characteristics of every place in the demon world, and every part of it exudes uniqueness and novelty." Yu Xiaobai couldn't help but admire.

"Indeed, I want to live in all these houses one by one and experience the different things." Helan Ruofeng said with a childlike look on his face.
