Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"Oh my god, stop talking, Master." Yu Xiaobai said as his body trembled slightly, and then he hugged Lan Moqiu tightly, trying to squeeze himself into the other's arms.

Lan Moqiu felt her fear and dependence, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he laughed softly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He patted Yu Xiaobai's head gently and comforted him.

After saying that, Lan Moqiu slowly pulled away Yu Xiaobai's hand from his, then gently held her little hand.

Yu Xiaobai silently felt his warmth, and his heart gradually calmed down.

Just like that, Yu Xiaobai obediently let Lan Moqiu pull him along the way. He no longer looked around curiously like before, nor did he dare to ask any questions.

After walking for a while, we finally arrived at the street market. It was just as Lan Moqiu had said. People in all kinds of strange clothes were walking around. The dark red lights made their faces even more weird. The items on display at the stalls were even more varied. Many of them were new and strange things that Yu Xiaobai had never seen before.

"Master, what are you buying here?" Yu Xiaobai asked curiously.

The things sold at these stalls didn't look like things from the world of the living. Yu Xiaobai looked at them carefully one by one. It was understandable that they sold snakes, insects, rats and ants, after all, they could all be used as medicine, but could those things that could crawl, move, and show their claws and fangs be sold as well?

"A spiritual weapon that allows you to practice normally." Lan Moqiu turned around and looked at Yu Xiaobai and said.

"Master, so you came here to buy something for me?" When Yu Xiaobai heard that Lan Moqiu came here to find something for her, he quickly looked at him.

If she only regarded him as her free meal ticket at the beginning, then after he rescued her several times, she had already regarded him as the most important person in this strange world.

"Master, you are so good to me, how can I repay you? How about I wait until I grow up and marry you?" Yu Xiaobai suddenly approached Lan Moqiu and said seriously.

Lan Moqiu chuckled and reached out to tap her forehead.

"Master, I am not worthy of your reward, so you'd better not repay me." Lan Moqiu gently pushed her away and said with an unfathomable smile.

"Why? You are at most a dozen years older than me! It's within my acceptable range. When I grow a few years older, you should be around 40 by then! It would be okay for me to marry you." Yu Xiaobai calculated. Lan Moqiu was good-looking anyway.

Lan Moqiu couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body. He ignored her nonsense and pulled her forward.

Suddenly a small object on the stall attracted Yu Xiaobai.

"What is this?" She pulled Lan Moqiu and reached out to pick up something on the stall. It was something that looked like a whistle.

Yu Xiaobai simply put it in his mouth to try it. The sound was crisp and pleasant, and it must be a good thing.

"Young girl, you have really good taste. This bone whistle is taken from the ring finger of a young girl and tempered with the secret method of Haiyi Pavilion." As soon as the boss finished his introduction, Yu Xiaobai was so scared that he quickly put the bone whistle back.

"Do you want it?" Lan Moqiu lowered his head and asked her quietly.

"I don't want it anymore." Yu Xiaobai shook her head hurriedly. She seemed to have put it in her mouth just now. The thought of it made her feel scared and disgusted.

In the attic far away

"Isn't this the high priest of the Crescent Moon Kingdom? Why is he here?" Hei Yu stood in front of the window, staring at the person below.

"Why are you paying attention to a human being? I asked you to investigate where the Demon King was reborn, but there's still no news in such a long time." Sang Zi sat aside, drinking tea leisurely.

"Master Sang Zuo, I really think that this human high priest is very similar to someone I saw in the demon world that year." Hei Yu said unwillingly.

"Looks like who?" Sang Zi stood up impatiently.

"He looks like someone who always follows the Demon King, but I can't remember who he is." Hei Yu blamed himself with some regret.

"Which one?" Sang Zi stood in front of the window and looked at the bustling crowd on the street.

"Walked away." Heiyu was speechless. Next time he would definitely ask Sangzi to help him identify who the high priest was.

"Let's go this way!" Lan Moqiu pulled Yu Xiaobai and slowly moved through the crowded crowd.

The Black Sea at night is eerie and has a unique exotic charm, which makes people feel a strange feeling of fear and excitement.

Two women in green shirts entered the street. One was tall and the other short. The tall one had bright eyes and white teeth and was pretty and charming, while the short one was a little plump, but also charming.

The two men held long swords in their hands and began looking around after entering the street, as if they were looking for someone.

A woman in red was dodging around and bumped into someone.

"Be careful, girl." Before the man could finish his words, the woman had already run away.

"There she is." the tall woman said.

"Chase." the short woman yelled.

"What happened?" Helan Ruofeng stood there and looked at the woman in red who hit someone and didn't apologize but ran away quickly. He also saw the two women in green who were chasing after him.

"Get out of here..." The tall woman rushed over and cursed at Helan Ruofeng when she saw him in a daze.

Helan Ruofeng grew up by the sea, surrounded by a harmonious society. No one would be so unreasonable. His master told him that if he met an unreasonable person, he should be even more unreasonable than her.

So, when the woman passed by him, he pretended to be unintentional and stretched out his foot.

"Ouch!" The tall woman almost fell down. After she stood firm, she drew her sword and put it on Helan Ruofeng's neck.

"You little bastard, are you looking for death?" she asked viciously.

"Miss, you are so beautiful, how can you speak so rudely? Women who curse are not beautiful!" Helan Ruofeng stretched out his fingers and carefully moved the sword away from his neck.

"Rogue..." the woman cursed again and raised the sword again.

"Xi Meng, if you keep making noise, that witch will probably run away." The short woman shouted angrily.

"Hmph, don't let me see you again." The tall woman cursed and chased after him.

Helan Ruofeng curled his lips indifferently. He was not afraid of these people.

He heard that there was a treasure pavilion on the Black Sea, and he wanted to go there to pick up some things for his father and mother. Otherwise, he would come back empty-handed and lose the girl he liked, which would be so embarrassing.

Wanbao Pavilion, the largest shop in the Black Sea, has a wide range of goods. You can buy what you want here from heaven to the underworld.

Lan Moqiu brought Yu Xiaobai to Wanbao Pavilion. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a very ordinary shop. The dark red lanterns made it impossible to see the scene inside the house.

Lan Moqiu threw a bag to the waiter. The waiter caught it and opened it. It was full of green beads that shone with silver light.

The waiter immediately put away the bag and walked forward to greet him in a flattering manner.

"Please come this way, distinguished guest." He led Lan Moqiu towards the back hall, with Yu Xiaobai following closely behind.

After passing through the back hall, we came to an equally dim courtyard. There were eight doors in the courtyard, and the lanterns on each door were of different colors.

The waiter led them into the one on the far left. When they crossed the threshold, it was as if they had entered another world.

The original dimness was replaced by light as bright as day. After getting used to the light, I found that the light came from transparent grids. Each of these grids was of different sizes, and each grid contained a special treasure.

"Wow, what are these?" Yu Xiaobai excitedly stepped forward to take a closer look.

"Sir, what can I do for you?" A graceful figure suddenly floated over, her voice as sweet as a yellow oriole singing in a valley. Yu Xiaobai turned around and saw a woman in a yellow shirt.

It was winter at that time. She and Lan Moqiu were both wearing heavy robes, but the woman was only wearing some thin yellow gauze. Her pink bellyband was faintly visible through the yellow sand. Yin and Xiaobai stared at her with their eyes wide open.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not for sale!" The woman floated lightly in front of Yu Xiaobai.

"Oh, sorry, sorry!" Yu Xiaobai quickly forced his eyes away.

"I want to find the Pi Lingzhu from the upper realm." Lan Moqiu interrupted their conversation.

"Who are you? How do you know about the Pi Lingzhu?" The woman turned around and looked at Lan Moqiu curiously.

"What do you care who I am? Do I have it or not? Selling it or not?" Lan Moqiu didn't beat around the bush with him, but asked directly.

"What do you have to say?" Seeing that Lan Moqiu was direct, the woman also spoke directly like him.

"Is this enough?" Lan Moqiu suddenly threw something at her.

"Soul Gathering Pill?" The woman's eyes suddenly widened, and then she changed her mind. The Soul Gathering Pill is hard to come by, and it would be a huge loss to exchange it for the Pi Lingzhu. Could it be fake?

"Don't worry, if you don't believe it, you can just ask someone to check it." Lan Moqiu said immediately.

"The Soul Gathering Pill can gather all the divine essences of the six realms. Even if the soul and body are destroyed, the soul can be gathered. Why do you want to use this thing that others are fighting for to get a Pi Lingzhu?" The woman asked with suspicion.

"I don't have any spirits that I need to collect right now, but there is someone I want to protect." Lan Moqiu said while looking at Yu Xiaobai.

"The person the master wants to protect is me?" She pointed at herself excitedly.

"Okay, then I will fulfill your wish." The woman led them to a small glass grid, in which was a transparent bead that glowed with a faint blue light.

The woman muttered something and made finger gestures. The transparent grid slowly disappeared. She quickly reached out and took out the beads and handed them to Lan Moqiu.

Lan Moqiu took the bead and stroked it, and the bead was immediately embedded in the silver pendant. He turned around and put the pendant on Yu Xiaobai, and took off the jade pendant on her chest.

"With this bead, you can practice magic like Zi Yan. You don't have to suppress yourself even when you are outside. Just be yourself happily." Lan Moqiu explained to Yu Xiaobai seriously.

"Will I still become Xue'er?" This is what Yu Xiaobai is most worried about.

"No, unless you encounter a very powerful enemy who beats you back to your original form." Lan Moqiu said with a frightened expression.

"Okay, then I will study hard and practice well in the future, and try to make sure no one can beat me." Yu Xiaobai promised.

After leaving Wanbao Pavilion, they saw a snack bar next to it. Lan Moqiu decided to take Yu Xiaobai to eat the snacks there.

After the two sat down, they ordered some food whose names they had never heard of and what they didn't know what it was.

Suddenly, a figure flashed by and Lan Moqiu frowned.

"Xiao Yu'er, just sit here and don't go anywhere. Wait for me and I'll be back soon." After Lan Moqiu said this, he followed the black shadow and chased out.

Yu Xiaobai saw him disappear before he could react. He looked around and saw that besides the passers-by coming and going, there were also many people sitting in the snack bar, so it looked safe.

Helan Ruofeng entered the Wanbao Pavilion and exchanged the night-shining pearl he carried with him for a crystal clear bracelet and a dagger made of black iron. He gave the bracelet to his mother and the dagger to his father.

After putting his things away, he walked into the snack bar.

Yu Xiaobai stood there looking around and immediately saw Helan Ruofeng walking in.

"If we are destined to meet, we will meet no matter how far apart we are, Ruofeng, Ruofeng..." She raised her hands and shook them excitedly.

Helan Ruofeng's eyes lit up when he saw him, and he walked excitedly to her and sat down.

"Miss Xiaoyu, why are you here too?" he asked excitedly as soon as he sat down.

"Because you and I are destined to be together. We just separated in the afternoon and met again in the evening." Yu Xiaobai said shamelessly.

"Miss Xiaoyu, how can a woman like you speak like that?" Helan Ruofeng blushed at her words.

"I told you to call me Xiaoyu, but you're acting like a girl." Yu Xiaobai didn't mind his shyness and continued.

"Xiao Yu is a woman, how can she tease a man like this?" Helan Ruofeng repeated what he had just said.

"Who teased you? I'm telling the truth! There are so many people in this town, but we are the only two who know each other. Isn't this fate?" Yu Xiaobai continued to argue shamelessly.

She used to like teasing the girls in her class, and now, this trick seemed to be quite interesting when used on Helan Ruofeng.

"When we parted in the afternoon, I said I would treat you. Now that we meet, I might as well treat you to a snack." Yu Xiaobai pushed the food brought by the waiter in front of Helan Ruofeng.

"I've tried it, and it tastes okay." She picked up something and put it in her mouth.

Helan Ruofeng looked at the things on the plate with some fear, and followed her example, picked one and put it in his mouth, chewed it awkwardly, and found that it tasted good, so he ate it.

"Xiao Yu, why are you here? Are you alone?" Helan Ruofeng asked again unwillingly.

"I came here with my master. He has something to do and will be away for a while." Yu Xiaobai answered truthfully.

"Your master is very good to you. How many years have you followed him?" Helan Ruofeng asked again.

"I've been following him for... more than four years!" Yu Xiaobai roughly calculated Xue'er's age and said truthfully.

"Then what did he teach you?" Helan Ruofeng began to ask like a curious baby.

"Your master taught you, he must have taught me too!" Yu Xiaobai blinked her eyes proudly. In fact, Lan Moqiu had never taught her anything, but considering how good he was to her, she definitely couldn't let him lose face.

"My master is an immortal. He not only taught me talismans and spells, but also taught me divination. It's a pity that he has returned to heaven, and I don't know when I can see him again." Helan Ruofeng said with some sadness.

At this time, Taibu Star Lord from the upper world was sneezing constantly in the Thoreau Secret Realm in the sky.

"Can he fly? Can he teleport? Can he fly without a sword?" Yu Xiaobai asked excitedly.

“That’s right, he can fly without a sword. He also said that if I practice hard, I can ascend to the upper realm. But I still feel reluctant.” The reluctance that Helan Ruofeng mentioned refers to his mother and father.

"Are you reluctant to leave Zi Yan?" Yu Xiaobai asked foolishly.

"Miss Zi Yan?" A trace of loneliness flashed across Helan Ruofeng's face, and then he smiled bitterly as if relieved.

"Of course not. I can't leave my father and mother. They raised me with great difficulty. If I ascend to the upper realm at a young age as my master said, how lonely they would be left in this world? How unfilial I would be." Helan Ruofeng explained.
