Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"I'll point with my chopsticks. If you want to eat a dish, just nod your head. If you don't want to eat it, just wag your tail." Lan Moqiu looked at Yu Xiaobai seriously and asked.

Yu Xiaobai nodded excitedly when she heard this. She finally didn't have to eat the porridge with a strong fishy smell. Lan Moqiu pointed at the delicious dishes on the table with his slender fingers again and again. Yu Xiaobai nodded every time, and a bowl of rich dishes filled her bowl.

"Just eat slowly here, and I'll serve you more when you're done." Lan Moqiu placed a full bowl of food next to Yu Xiaobai's dog bowl with a gentle look on his face.

He sat down at the dining table slowly and gracefully, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Xiaobai Yu, who had originally run to the dog bowl and started eating like crazy, realized that she was eating in a rude manner, and immediately straightened herself up and pretended to be elegant before starting to eat again. However, the food tonight was really delicious, and she showed her true colors in a few minutes, making her hair, which had just been washed, dirty again.

After a delicious meal, Yu Xiaobai crawled to Lan Moqiu's side contentedly and fell asleep with his eyes rolled up.

After the meal, Lan Moqiu helplessly took a wet cloth and gently wiped Yu Xiaobai's greasy head. His movements were gentle and moderate. Yu Xiaobai rolled his eyes at him and continued to sleep.

The days passed peacefully one after another. During the day, Lan Moqiu would go to the palace to supervise the little emperor's studies and would come back very late at night.

Yu Xiaobai was living a very boring life. Except for the places where the servants stayed, Long Xiao did not allow her to go. She could walk around freely in other places in the huge priest's mansion. She even dared to roll around on Lan Moqiu's bed when no one was around.

This life is really good! I have everything I want, and I am held in the arms of a top-notch handsome man like Lan Moqiu every day. I don't have to prepare lessons or do homework to bear the pressure of studying, and I don't have to bear the pressure from my parents and teachers. What kind of life can be more comfortable than this?

Here, she also met four little girls, Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong, who were about her actual age.

Spring orchid is fierce and aggressive, summer cloud is calm and composed, autumn moon is lively and simple, and winter condensation is gentle and peaceful.

Qiuyue likes small animals and wants to pounce on Yu Xiaobai when she sees them. Xia Yun always reminds Qiuyue not to act recklessly because of Sa Yulong's punishment of the maid. Dong Ning always follows the old lady to do needlework and is not often seen. Chunlan and Aji are responsible for taking care of Lan Moqiu's daily life and diet, so Yu Xiaobai can see her every day.

But she seemed to dislike Yu Xiaobai very much. Every time she saw her, she would make a fierce expression towards her. If she saw him playing on Lan Moqiu's bed, she would throw her to the ground rudely.

Yu Xiaobai thought, why should a woman embarrass another woman? She was just throwing a tantrum and rolling around on the soft bed. She was not a human being now and could not go out. She was almost going crazy being locked up in the mansion every day. She just wanted to have some fun, why was that not okay?

I hate being alone during the day, and instead look forward to the nights with Lan Moqiu by my side.

He would sit quietly with one hand supported, reading a book made of bamboo slips under the dim candlelight.

Every time this happened, Yu Xiaobai would lie quietly on his elbow and look at him quietly.

Yu Xiaobai likes to look at handsome men, but she also misses her parents. She just quietly admires Lan Moqiu's face, thinking about returning to her parents, and fantasizing about the scene when she returns.

Time went by day after day, and before he knew it, half a year had passed. Under Lan Moqiu's careful care, Yu Xiaobai's belly became fatter and his face became rounder.

Just at this time, it was time for the disciples of Yunji Villa who had gone out for trials to return.

It was winter now. One night later, heavy snow fell without warning all over the imperial city. On this day, Lan Moqiu stood under the eaves and watched the white ball rolling in the yard, with a calm and gentle smile in his eyes.

Yu Xiaobai is from the south and has never seen snow since he was born. When he suddenly saw the snow, he couldn't help running back and forth in the snow, rolling, and making snowballs with his front paws, wishing he could rub his whole body into the white snow and blend into it.

"Hahaha, Xue'er really became snow." Aji's childish words rang in his ears.

"Don't you want to play?" Lan Moqiu asked softly. He was still a child after all, and he couldn't avoid the nature of a child.

"Aji dare not." Aji looked at Lan Moqiu with innocent eyes and a pleading tone.

"Go and have fun, as long as it doesn't interfere with your homework." As soon as Lan Moqiu finished speaking, Aji rushed towards Yu Xiaobai happily.

When Yu Xiaobai saw Aji coming, she quickly jumped to his side. Over the past six months, she had already treated this cautious little guy as her younger brother.

"Xue'er, you really turned into snow, so cute!" At this moment, Aji, who was playing with Yu Xiaobai, barely looked like a child.

Just as Lan Moqiu was attracted by the scene in front of him, a light green figure appeared not far away, causing him to frown slightly.

The person who came was none other than the famous eldest daughter of Yunji Villa, Sa Yulong.

Her skin was as white as snow, her face was gorgeous, and she had an unquestionable and unattainable elegance and grace. He was seen walking slowly towards Lan Moqiu with elegant steps.

Lan Moqiu frowned slightly, then returned to normal in an instant, with a smile on his face and his calmness restored.

Sa Yulong walked straight to Lan Moqiu, bowed gracefully, and said softly with her cherry lips: "Brother Lan, Long'er has been away for more than half a year. I just came home today and couldn't wait to see you. Brother Lan, is Long'er doing well during these days? Do you miss Long'er?"

Brother Lan? Long'er? Xiaobai, the fish who was playing at the side, had long been attracted by this scene and ran to the two of them eagerly.

As the saying goes, handsome men are good-looking, and beautiful women are also good-looking. She wanted to take in everything that was pleasing to the eyes, so at this moment she was looking back and forth at the two people's faces intently.

"Since you're back, you should go home to see your father first. Why do you come to see me first?" Lan Moqiu said in a cold tone, without any joy on his face, and even with a hint of imperceptible disgust.

"Long'er has already paid her respects to father. Brother Lan, don't you want to see Long'er?" Sa Yulong's tone was soft with a hint of anger, and she looked at Lan Moqiu with resentment.

"You must be tired after all the training outside, so go home and have some rest. I have something else to do so I won't see you off." Lan Moqiu gathered his sleeves and turned to go into the inner room.

Just as Sa Yulong was about to step forward, Long Xiao stepped in front of her.

"Miss Sa, my master has important matters to deal with, so you'd better go back first!" Long Xiao stared at Sa Yulong with a stern face, without the slightest sign of cowardice.

"Okay then!" Sa Yulong pouted pitifully and turned to leave, just in time to see Aji bending down and picking up Yu Xiaobai.

"Xue'er?" Sa Yulong swept away her previous depression, reached out to take Yu Xiaobai, and walked out while holding him.

Yu Xiaobai was shocked. She had been following Lan Moqiu since she came here. She had to change places suddenly and adapt again. This was too difficult for her.

"Xue'er?" Aji stared at Yu Xiaobai reluctantly, and a trace of reluctance also appeared on Long Xiao's cold face.

"I haven't seen Xue'er for so long and I miss it. I'll take it home first, and then bring it here to live in a few days." After explaining, Sa Yulong carried Yu Xiaobai out of the priest's mansion.

As soon as they walked out of the gate, a cold wind blew straight at them. There was a very luxurious carriage parked at the door, with a driver and two maids. When they saw Sa Yulong coming out, they carefully helped her get into the carriage.

As soon as they left the house, Sa Yulong's grip on Yu Xiaobai became stronger. Yu Xiaobai was a little confused, but her keen sixth sense told her that this elder sister was not easy to mess with.

The facts immediately confirmed her guess. As soon as she got on the carriage, Yu Xiaobai was thrown into the carriage. After Sa Yulong sat down, she kicked her on the cheek, causing her to scream in pain. But before she could scream, the maid in the carriage covered her mouth tightly.

"This damn round-haired beast really takes himself too seriously. If Daddy hadn't said that Big Brother Lan likes it, I wouldn't bother raising a beast like you." As she spoke, she was about to reach out her hand, but after taking a look, she retracted it.

The maid holding Yu Xiaobai covered her mouth with her hands, her body trembling slightly. Could it be that this maid was also afraid of her young lady? Yu Xiaobai almost forgot that this young lady dared to chop off people's hands casually, how could she be a kind person?

Aren't they supposed to be a sect of immortals? Aren't all the people in a sect of immortals supposed to be good people? Why is Miss Sa so bad?

Yu Xiaobai didn't have time to think about it before he returned to the foot of Danxia Peak in the bumpy ride.

Yunji Villa, as the name suggests, is named after the top of a mountain that looks like a bun and is located on Danxia Peak, a hundred kilometers away from the northernmost part of the imperial city.

At this time, the most important sects of immortal cultivation were Xiaoyao Sect in Yunxiao Mountain in the far east, Haiyi Pavilion of the royal family of the Southern Liang Chen Kingdom, Yuling Sect in the border of Hanxing Kingdom in the far north, Biqiong Pavilion in the border of the West Sea, and Yunji Villa that protected the New Moon Dynasty. As for other small sects, there were countless of them.

"Miss, we're already at the foot of the mountain." The coachman outside the door said cautiously.

"It's snowing hard today and the carriage can't move. I'll fly up the mountain on my sword." After saying this, Sa Yulong summoned the Sword of Life from the void.

She jumped onto the sword nimbly and instantly flew up into the sky. This scene scared Yu Xiaobai so much.

This was actually a world of cultivating immortals, but the problem was that she was not a disciple of the sect, but a dog, and a weak pug at that. She was unwilling to accept this, and with tears in her eyes she looked up at the maid holding her.

"Xue'er, why are you looking at me? Tonight we either have to walk up the mountain or rest in this carriage and continue our journey tomorrow. We will be frozen tonight." The maid released her hand that was covering her mouth and looked at her with sympathy.

"Ziyun, Ziyan, you two can sleep in the carriage. I'll go find some firewood to make a fire." The coachman at the door said.

At this time, the door curtain was lifted, and a beautiful maid came in. Yu Xiaobai wagged his tail curiously and looked at her.

"Xue'er, my hands are frozen. Can you lend me your hair to warm them for a while?" As she said this, she stretched out her red and swollen hands to stroke Yu Xiaobai's hair.

Not to mention, the advantage of wearing this on a dog is that she doesn't feel that cold at all in this hot winter.

"Zi Yan, aren't you afraid that you will get frozen and Miss Xue'er will punish you?" Zi Yun asked worriedly.

"I can't care. There are too many. I have been flying outside the carriage for several hours. My hands are already frozen and numb. If my hands are disabled, I can't work anymore. Then I won't find a job, and the final outcome will be starvation to death." Zi Yan said as she touched Yu Xiaobai's belly with her frozen hands.

Yu Xiaobai finally felt a chill, and she instinctively dodged, but stopped when she saw the red and swollen hands. Let her be cold, and for her poor sake, she was allowed to touch them.

Ziyun took out a piece of clothing from under the stool and ran to put it on Zi Yan. Zi Yan was still so cold that her teeth were chattering. Seeing this, Ziyun could only go forward and hug Zi Yan tightly in his arms.

Seeing them like this, Yu Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh, a friend in need is a friend indeed. It's a pity that she is alone, and no one is willing to help and rely on her.

Soon there was a noise outside the door, and Yu Xiaobai looked out and saw that the driver had gathered some firewood and was preparing to start a fire. Fortunately, the heavy snow had only started to fall last night and had not melted yet, so most of the firewood was still dry.

After a while, the coachman lit a fire next to the carriage, and Ziyun and Zi Yan also got out of the carriage.

The three of them sat down around the fire, their faces showing a calm yet helpless expression, and no one spoke.

Yu Xiaobai sat down next to Ziyun, staring at the campfire, but his stomach started to growl.

"Hahahahahahahaha..." Ziyun laughed out loud because of her amusing.

"Why are you laughing at her? Animals get hungry too." Zi Yan lazily reached out her hand and hit Zi Yun.

"I don't mean anything else. Actually, I'm hungry too. When the young lady asked me to go out today, I didn't have the time to eat anything." Ziyun said and stroked Yu Xiaobai's head with pity.

At this moment, a dry cake was handed to the two of them.

"This is what I brought with me before I went out this morning. If you don't mind, you can share it!" The driver looked at the two of them sincerely.

"Uncle Jin, what are you going to eat since we gave everything to both of you?" Ziyun asked gratefully.

"Here's some more? After being fooled by the young lady a few times, I always carry some dry food with me." Old Jin said as he took out another cake.

Seeing this, Ziyun and the other two reluctantly took it and started eating it in small pieces.

While eating, she handed a piece to Yu Xiaobai.

"Just make do with it. I know you usually eat better than this."

This made Yu Xiaobai feel ashamed for a moment. She had indeed lived a good life with Lan Moqiu these days. From the beginning, he only cooked specific dog food for her, and later followed his taste to eat all kinds of human food.

Today, before she had lunch, Sa Yulong took her away. Sa Yulong was a two-faced woman. On the surface, she deliberately raised a dog to please Lan Moqiu because he liked small animals, but secretly she treated him badly.

Yu Xiaobai silently took the small piece of dry biscuit from Ziyun's hand with his mouth, squatted beside her and chewed it slowly.

Yu Xiaobai could feel that Ziyun and Ziyan were both kind-hearted girls, much better than the glamorous Sa Yulong. It was a pity that these two were destined to be maids. Sometimes this world was really unfair.

"Ziyun, don't you think it would be great if we could also practice Taoism under Yunji Villa?" Zi Yan asked Ziyun while eating, her eyes full of desire.

"Eat your fill quickly and get in the carriage to sleep! We don't even have food to eat, and you still want to go to Yunji Villa to practice Taoism? Besides, we can't even enter the training ground, so we can only stay in the eldest lady's yard. People like us are destined to be slaves forever." Ziyun comforted Zi Yan with a gentle face.

"Yunji Villa is the guardian villa of the Xinyue Kingdom. All the disciples are children of high-ranking officials and authoritative people of the Xinyue Kingdom. Don't even think about living a worthless life like us, silly girl." Lao Jin comforted the two of them.
