Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"Tell Long Xiao to guard here and forbid anyone to approach my study." After giving the order, Lan Moqiu went straight back to the study with the dog in his arms.

"Then Xue'er..." Aji wanted to leave Xue'er outside to play with him, but seeing the high priest's words, he didn't dare to say anything and hurried to call Long Xiao.

At this time, Sa Yulong also quietly slipped into the yard and went straight to the study.

"What is Miss Sa trying to do? No outsiders are allowed to enter the master's study. Miss Sa has lived in the priest's mansion for so long, don't you know this rule?" Long Xiao arrived in time and asked coldly.

"I just……"

"Just what? Miss Sa, please leave quickly..." Long Xiao made a merciless gesture of invitation.

"Humph, I don't want to go in." Sa Yulong left Lan Moqiu's yard with an angry look on her face, but she was secretly guessing that Lan Moqiu had hurried to the brothel and hurried back to the yard. She remembered that he seemed to be alone when he left, so why did he come back with Xue'er, that beast?

"No, there is now a bit of the soul of that stinky girl Zi Yan in the body of that beast. Could it be that the stinky girl is plotting something again?" Sa Yulong guessed to herself, but what is Brother Lan hiding?

Lan Moqiu's study is just an ordinary study. There is a mechanism in the corner of the study. Through the mechanism, you can enter the secret room. There is a larger underground castle at the entrance of the secret room.

After turning several corners, Lan Moqiu came to a spacious and warm house.

He put Xue'er on the ground and Yu Xiaobai on the bed. He skillfully helped her stop the bleeding and heal her wounds. In a moment, the wound and blood on Yu Xiaobai's forehead disappeared.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Lan Moqiu turned around and looked at Xue'er on the ground and asked coldly.

"High Priest, can you understand what I'm saying?" Zi Yan asked in surprise, although she could only make a cry of grievance.

"What do you think? Why go there? When did you start practicing?" Lan Moqiu continued to ask.

It has only been four years since this dog was bought by Sa Yulong and brought into the Priest's Mansion. When she first came, she was only the size of a palm. How could she have such a talent in four years?

“Wuuuu… I’m not Xue’er, I’m Zi Yan…” Zi Yan suddenly burst into tears in grievance.

She had been with the high priest for more than a year, living in fear every day. She had no idea that the high priest could understand her.

"Zi Yan?" Lan Moqiu looked at Yu Xiaobai lying on the bed with a puzzled look, and then looked at the real Zi Yan on the ground.

"She is Xue'er... Wuwuwu, it's all Senior Sister's fault. She despised my background and didn't want me to be her junior sister. So on the eve of the competition, she made Xue'er and I swap souls so that neither of us could be ourselves."

"Is that so?" Lan Moqiu said in a flat tone. He didn't like Sa Yulong in the first place, and now after hearing her ridiculous behavior, he felt that this woman was even more annoying.

"High Priest, you must save Xue'er and me. I don't want to be a dog anymore, and Xue'er definitely doesn't want to be a human anymore." Zi Yan cried aggrievedly, and the action of wiping her tears with her paws was so adorable.

Lan Moqiu raised his hand to check Yu Xiaobai's soul, only to find that there was indeed a crack in the soul. A normal and complete human soul would not have this kind of situation, unless the person had been reborn after death, and his soul had been repaired, or... part of his soul had been extracted by someone.

"I'll ask her what she thinks after she wakes up!" Lan Moqiu did not completely believe Zi Yan's words, but waited quietly for Yu Xiaobai to wake up.

Jin Xuan led Xiao Yuanzi to stroll leisurely on the street, with a team of scattered secret guards following timidly behind him. Although he also started to practice martial arts, Xiao Yuanzi still insisted on bringing a team of secret guards to follow him.

"Xiao Yuanzi, do you think you are the emperor or I am the emperor?" Jin Xuan asked somewhat confusedly.

"Young master, please be careful with your words." Xiao Yuanzi immediately winked at Jin Xuan. They were already in the downtown area and he didn't even change his address.

"Oh, I forgot, me, me!" Jin Xuan laughed heartily.

Lan Moqiu promised Jin Xuan that as long as he learned to be an emperor well, he would allow him to leave the palace occasionally.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure—Helan Ruofeng.

"Uncle, have you ever seen the girl in this painting?" Helan Ruofeng looked at the old man in front of him expectantly, with a hint of anxiety and desire in his eyes. He held the scroll tightly in his hand, as if it was his only hope.

"I haven't seen it, young man." However, the old man just shook his head with a helpless expression on his face.

Helan Ruofeng sighed in disappointment, but did not give up. He continued to shuttle among the crowd, constantly showing the scroll to passers-by. Every time he asked, he was full of endless expectations, but the answers he got were always disappointing.

"Miss, have you ever seen the girl in the painting?" He stopped a woman, his eyes full of earnestness.

"Is she as beautiful as me?" The woman frowned slightly, took a look at the scroll, raised the corners of her mouth and said in a teasing tone.

Helan Ruofeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"It's not like that..." The woman had turned and left, leaving him standing there alone, feeling lost.

"Auntie, have you seen the girl in the painting?" He came to another lady and asked cautiously.

"No, I haven't seen it. I'm busy!" The old lady waved her hands impatiently, muttering something, and left in a hurry.

A feeling of powerlessness surged over Helan Ruofeng's heart, and he couldn't help but begin to doubt whether he could really find Miss Zi Yan.

"Boss, have you seen the girl in the painting?" he continued to ask.

Just then, a voice came into his ears.

"Move aside, move aside, I'm selling things!" the boss shouted, completely ignoring his question.

Helan Ruofeng's heart sank gradually. He didn't know how long it would take to find someone. The longer it took, the greater the chance that Zi Yan would be in danger.

Helan Ruofeng was met with setbacks when he asked people. He was very worried about Miss Zi Yan's safety. After searching for a long time, he still had no news. He looked up with a frustrated look on his face and saw a familiar figure - Jin Xuan.

Jin Xuan saw Helan Ruofeng at the same time. The two were several meters apart. The joy of meeting again after a long separation instantly overflowed from his eyes and he strode towards each other.

"Young Master, Young Master? What did you see?" Xiao Yuanzi followed anxiously behind.

"Brother Helan..." Jin Xuan's eyes were full of surprise. He just went out of the palace for a walk, but he didn't expect to meet his good brother. What a fate.

"Brother Jin Xuan..." Helan Ruofeng was also surprised. He had originally planned to go see Jin Xuan together after finding Zi Yan, but he never expected to meet her unexpectedly on this street.

The two smiled at each other, then hugged each other tightly.

"Brother Helan, why did you suddenly come to Xinyue Imperial City?" Jin Xuan asked curiously while holding Helan Ruofeng's hand.

"To be honest, I'm here to look for someone." As he spoke, Helan Ruofeng took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Jin Xuan.

"Is this... Miss Zi Yan?" Jin Xuan recognized the woman in the painting at a glance. He looked at Helan Ruofeng in confusion, secretly wondering why he was looking for Zi Yan.

"Yes, I wanted to go to Danxia Peak to find Miss Zi Yan in person, but when I got there, I heard from my fellow brothers from Yunji Villa that she had left alone in anger because she couldn't stand the bullying from her fellow disciples." There was a hint of loss and worry in Helan Ruofeng's tone.

"So that's how it is! What are your plans?" Jin Xuan asked with concern.

"I don't know where to look for her. I can only try my luck and see if I can find some clues in the Crescent Moon Imperial City." Helan Ruofeng sighed helplessly.

"Don't be discouraged, maybe we can think of a solution together. After all, the Crescent Moon Imperial City is so big, it is not easy to find someone, but as long as you have the heart, there is always hope. Also, have you forgotten who I am?" Jin Xuan patted Helan Ruofeng on the shoulder and said seriously.

Helan Ruofeng then realized belatedly that Jin Xuan was the emperor of the Crescent Kingdom, and this was the Crescent Imperial City. If he really wanted to find someone, who could be more powerful than Jin Xuan?

"I was stupid. I didn't even think of asking Brother Jin Xuan for help." Helan Ruofeng held his forehead with his hand in self-mockery.

"Xiao Yuanzi." Jin Xuan casually called Xiao Yuanzi behind him.

"Young Master, what do you want me to do?" Xiao Yuanzi responded respectfully, but he couldn't help but steal a glance at Helan Ruofeng.

"But call Zhao Xie to me." He ordered directly.

"Sir... yes." Xiao Yuanzi wanted to ask why, but when she met Jin Xuan's threatening eyes, she immediately shut up and ran quickly behind him.

"Brother Helan, you should come to me directly. Miss Zi Yan is not only your friend, she is also my friend, Jin Xuan. We are not only teammates, but also friends who live and die together." Jin Xuan said excitedly, and his memory seemed to go back to the days when the three of them went through the secret realm together.

"Sorry, it was my negligence." Helan Ruofeng said apologetically.

"Young Master." Soon, the head of the secret guards, Zhao Yu, was standing respectfully in front of Jin Xuan.

"Make several copies of this painting and distribute them to your people. Be sure to find the person as quickly as possible. Remember, look carefully." Jin Xuan ordered.

"Yes, sir." Zhao Xie took the portrait and disappeared in a flash.

"Brother Helan, I have twelve secret guards. With their help, I believe we can find Miss Zi Yan soon." Jin Xuan comforted.

After all, Zi Yan is a disciple of an immortal cultivation sect, and her magic and martial arts skills are quite strong. Ordinary people should not be able to do anything to her. This is what Jin Xuan is thinking at the moment.

Helan Ruofeng had a similar idea. No one had told them how poor Yu Xiaobai's aptitude was. She hadn't learned how to fly a sword in more than a year, let alone other life-saving spells.

The High Priest's Palace...

Yu Xiaobai slept for a long time before he woke up slowly. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Lan Moqiu's beautiful face. He was leaning against the bed, sleeping with his chin supported by one hand and his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Is this a dream? Why did I see Lan Moqiu? Where am I?" Yu Xiaobai's mind was a little confused, and he was bewildered by the people and scenery in front of him.

Regardless of other things, the handsome man in front of her particularly attracted her attention. She unconsciously stretched out her fingers, wanting to touch the beautiful skin of this beauty and feel what it felt like.

Lan Moqiu felt the fluctuation and suddenly opened his eyes, just in time to see Yu Xiaobai's hand about to touch his cheek.

"You..." He didn't know how to start for a moment.

"Um, Lan Moqiu, it's so great to see you." Yu Xiaobai got so carried away that he actually rushed over and hugged Lan Moqiu.

"What did you call me?" Lan Moqiu was startled by her sudden hug, and was also surprised by her calling him by his name.

No one has called him that in the past few hundred years. The last person who called him that had gone through the cycle of reincarnation several times and had long forgotten him.

"Lan Moqiu!" Yu Xiaobai let go of him uncomfortably and said seriously.

"Who are you? Do you remember?" Lan Moqiu didn't care that Yu Xiaobai called his name, but looked at her and asked seriously.

Yu Xiaobai was stunned at first, and then she carefully recalled her experience. Thinking of what happened in the past year or so, her eyes were filled with tears, and when she thought of being slapped several times by Yan Niang and Bai San, she finally couldn't help crying out loud.

"Lan Moqiu, my life has been so miserable since I left you... I can't even get enough to eat... wuwuwu..."

Her crying, coupled with the words "I've been miserable since I left you", immediately confirmed what Zi Yan said before. Only Xue'er stayed by his side for a long time, and only Xue'er dared to sleep on his sleeves unscrupulously.

Xue'er has been different since she came back from Yunji Villa. She won't eat with him, won't be intimate with him, and even ignores Aji.

He just thought that the little guy had suddenly changed his nature, and never imagined that it had exchanged souls with Zi Yan.

Lan Moqiu patted Yu Xiaobai's back gently with somewhat embarrassed hands to comfort her, and Yu Xiaobai cried even harder.

"Those two bad guys in the brothel beat me and said they would sell me out. My head...eh?" Yu Xiaobai let go of Lan Moqiu and wanted to touch her disfigured face, but to her surprise, she touched nothing. Her forehead was still as smooth as before.

"Am I dreaming? Why is it so real? I have been having this dream for more than a year?" Yu Xiaobai said to himself.

"Woof woof..." Xue'er was awakened. Seeing Yu Xiaobai woke up, he excitedly called out to her and even jumped onto the bed and snuggled into her arms.

"Zi Yan..." Yu Xiaobai gently stroked Xue'er's hair, but it was Zi Yan who was being called.

"Do you two plan to stay like this from now on, or do you want to change back and be your original selves?" Lan Moqiu interrupted their intimacy and said seriously.

Zi Yan jumped and shouted excitedly. What she meant was to exchange it back. After all, no one would give up their good life and become a dog.

"I..." Yu Xiaobai hesitated. She was originally a human, but for some reason she traveled through time and space to Xue'er's body and became a dog. If she had a choice, she would definitely want to be a human, but in this situation, does she still have a choice?

"What will you choose?" Lan Moqiu asked again when he saw that she couldn't make up her mind.

"I..." Yu Xiaobai still couldn't answer. She had been a human for more than a year, so how could she want to go back to being a dog? But now this body belonged to Zi Yan. If she took it by force, then Zi Yan would have to bear the fate of being a dog for her.

"Xue'er, what do you want to do? Stupid dog, you don't want to occupy my body and refuse to give it back to me, do you?" Zi Yan seemed to have noticed her hesitation and immediately yelled angrily.

Even Xue'er suddenly bared her teeth at her viciously and issued a warning.

"Forget it, let's change it. How can I feel at ease using something that is not mine?" Yu Xiaobai looked up with some sadness and met Lan Moqiu's pitying eyes.

Lan Moqiu didn't say much. With a wave of his sleeves, Yu Xiaobai and Zi Yan fell asleep. He immediately cast a spell to take out half of their souls and put them back into their bodies.

However, when Yu Xiaobai's soul entered Xue'er's body, it seemed as if something followed it in. Xue'er's blue eyes became unusually strange, and seemed to contain a hint of strange aura.
