Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"Great! There's nothing to do when we get back anyway." Tong Yi nodded without hesitation.

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of followers behind him began to undress impatiently like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey. Their movements were rough and urgent, and they jumped into the water one after another as if they were afraid of missing out on this great opportunity to enjoy themselves.

Seeing this, Xing Fang and his companions had no time to wait and followed suit, rushing into the water.

"You are so shameless, let's go." Mo Xiaotan and several women said this and turned away.

"You bold boys, how dare you make such trouble on the territory of this mountain god?" Qiao Yin looked at the group of people angrily and shouted angrily.

"Who is it? The mountain god?" When Xing Fang turned around and saw Qiao Yin, he immediately shrank back into the water in shame, leaving only his head exposed.

When the others saw that Qiaoyin was a little girl, they shyly hid in the water.

"That's right, I am the mountain god of Fanli Mountain. Don't come here to disturb my peace again." Qiao Yin said loudly.

The snow demon was finally driven away, and she wanted to return to her own territory to have a good rest, but unexpectedly a group of human boys came.

"You are just a little girl. How can you prove that you are the mountain god?" Tong Yi and a group of people obviously did not believe what a little girl said.

"My true identity is the ancient sacred tree, the Thoreau tree." After saying this, she proudly revealed her true identity - an umbrella-shaped plant with lush branches and leaves.

"Could she really be the mountain god?" Tong Yi turned around and asked others.

"Just treat her as a mountain god. We will leave here after tonight. Who will come here in the future?" Xing Fang said coldly.

"Little Mountain God, we will just stay here and leave tomorrow. We will never disturb you again." Tong Yi promised.

"Yes, we will be out of here soon." Everyone assured immediately.

"Alright! Don't let this Mountain God see you tomorrow, or I'll keep you trapped here forever to accompany this Mountain God." Qiao Yin pretended to be vicious. In fact, she was very timid and didn't really want to confront these guys. Seeing that these people had no ill intentions, she stopped pestering them.

As night falls, Fusheng Inn

Zi Yan stood quietly on the side of the second floor with a sword in her hands, like a guard on standby at any time. Behind her was the room of Master Helan Ruofeng and his apprentice.

In the room, Taibu Xingjun slowly put down his hands. After Bai Qiyang left the room, he used his spiritual power to heat up the two buckets of hot water in the room, ensuring that the water temperature would not cool down due to the temperature of the two people.

About an hour later, as their body temperatures rose, Helan Ruofeng was the first to open his eyes.

The room was filled with mist. He was soaked in a bucket of hot water up to his neck. On the other side was Yu Xiaobai who was soaking in the same water as him. In front of him was Taibu Xingjun who looked tired.

"Master..." he called weakly.

"Well... my dear disciple, are you awake? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" When Taibu Xingjun saw Helan Ruofeng wake up, he quickly touched his forehead and took his pulse.

"Master, my disciple is fine. What about Xiaoyu, is she okay?" Helan Ruofeng asked anxiously, and was about to get up.

"She's fine, don't worry. Master is here to protect her." Taibu Xingjun quickly helped him out of the bathtub.

"Clothes..." Seeing that he was naked, Helan Ruofeng shouted hurriedly, fearing that Yu Xiaobai beside him would wake up suddenly.

"No hurry, no hurry. This little girl probably won't wake up for a while." Taibu Xingjun said.

Helan Ruofeng didn't care about that. He hurriedly found his clothes and hid aside to change into them.

Outside the door, Zi Yan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the noise in the house, and turned and left without saying a word.

After Helan Ruofeng put on his clothes, he hurried to check Yu Xiaobai's breath. He breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that the other party was still alive.

"Disciple, the master will go out first. You help this girl... um... um, it's not good to soak for too long?" Taibu Xingjun stuttered and walked out of the room.

Helan Ruofeng understood what he meant, which was to get Yu Xiaobai out of the water and help her change her clothes.

Who is Helan Ruofeng? He is a gentleman, but also a fool. He took Yu Xiaobai out, but instead of changing her clothes, he used his spiritual power to dry her clothes before putting her back on the bed.

"My dear disciple, why are you so slow in changing your clothes?" Taibu Xingjun paced back and forth anxiously.

"Okay, Master, come in!" Helan Ruofeng shouted.

When Taibu Xingjun entered the room and took a look, his eyes widened.

"You didn't change his clothes?" he asked puzzledly.

"There are differences between men and women, Master..." Helan Ruofeng said with a dejected look on his face. Is this really the master who taught him to be wary of people's hearts ten years ago?

"My dear disciple, your master has something to tell you. Did the little fish next door save your life ten years ago?" Taibu Xingjun asked Helan Ruofeng solemnly.

"Cong Li? He did save my life ten years ago, and that's when we met." Helan Ruofeng answered truthfully.

Taibu Xingjun stepped forward to take a look and found that there was indeed half of the mermaid's inner elixir in Helan Ruofeng's body.

"Master..." Helan Ruofeng didn't understand why he did this.

"Oh, that's how it is!" Taibu Xingjun had some doubts about Cong Li's words before, but now it has been confirmed that what he said is true.

"Today, I didn't know that you were trapped by the snow demon and nearly died. It was only when Cong Li sensed that you were in danger and came to tell me that I found out."

"He said that you had lost your breath when you fell into the deep sea ten years ago, and it was he who saved you with half of his own mermaid's inner elixir, which enabled you to grow up so big. My dear disciple, you must thank that little fish greatly, and your master will also thank him greatly on your behalf." Taibu Xingjun said solemnly.

"Cong Li? Master, if the inner elixir leaves the body now, will my life be in danger?" After hearing what Taibu Xingjun said, Helan Ruofeng wanted to return the inner elixir to Cong Li as soon as possible.

"Of course not. Now that you are an adult, your cultivation is already among the best among human cultivators, and you have also cultivated your own golden elixir. Even if you return that half of the inner elixir to him, you will be fine." Taibu Xingjun said seriously.

"Master, I'll go see Cong Li." Helan Ruofeng said and got up and went out.

In the next room, Cong Li was awakened by a burst of heat. A hand pressed heavily on his neck. He had just experienced this feeling the night before. Why did it happen again? He turned his head to look out the window. It was already dark.

He was about to turn his head, recalling the scene of their lips touching last night, and his cheeks felt slightly hot. He could only gently move the hand from his neck before sitting up. It seemed that Bai Qiyang had fallen asleep.

Cong Li recalled that he seemed to be on the ground before he fell unconscious, and it must have been the master who carried him back to the bed.

"Master...?" Cong Li called out in a low voice.

Bai Qiyang was sleeping soundly at this time, so he could not hear his soft call.

"I am the younger brother of the Heavenly Guardian God and God of War Bai Ji. If Cong Li follows me, he will surely be able to better protect the Quanxian clan in the future."

The words Bai Qiyang said at Biluohai were still ringing in Cong Li's ears. He looked at Bai Qiyang in confusion, not knowing whether this choice was right or not.

"Cong Li? Cong Li? Can I come in?" Helan Ruofeng knocked on the door gently.

"Wait a minute, I'll come out!" Cong Li responded while tiptoeing to crawl over Bai Qiyang.

"Are you okay?" As soon as Cong Li came out, he reached out and touched Helan Ruofeng all over.

"It's okay, it's okay. It's fine now." Helan Ruofeng quickly stopped his hand.

"I thought you were going to die." Cong Li said worriedly.

"Cong Li, thank you!" Helan Ruofeng thanked sincerely.

He always thought that when he was rescued, Cong Li just fished him out of the sea, and never thought that he would give up half of his inner elixir.

Legend has it that once the mermaids lose their inner elixir, they will become like ordinary aquatic creatures and will not be able to practice even basic magic.

"What are you thanking me for? It was my master who saved you and Miss Xiaoyu. You should thank him." Cong Li said seriously.

"I mean, thank you for saving me ten years ago! Thank you, I never knew the price you paid to save me was so high. I always said that as a mermaid, you have no ability to protect yourself." Helan Ruofeng said ashamedly. He didn't know how many times he had been laughed at for this over the years.

"You know now. Was it the old lady who told you?" Cong Li said with some regret.

As the descendant of the leader of the mermaid clan, it is indeed a pity that he does not even have the ability to protect himself. He even lost the qualification to compete for the heir.

"Master said that now that I have cultivated the golden elixir, I can return half of your inner elixir to you. Congli, thank you." Helan Ruofeng said excitedly and couldn't help but go forward and hug him.

"Brother Helan, you and I have known each other for ten years, so there is no need to be polite to me. But please return the inner elixir to me. Are you really not worried about your life?" Cong Li really wanted to get the inner elixir back, but if doing so would cost his brother's life, he would rather not have it.

"Master said that it will not endanger my life. Tomorrow I will ask Master to return the inner elixir to you. Then I can teach you magic." Helan Ruofeng said excitedly.

"Well, okay, then you don't have to protect me from now on. I can protect myself and I can protect you." Cong Li said happily.

The two chatted for a long time before returning to their rooms. This time, Cong Li did not meditate by himself, but quietly returned to bed to sleep.

Helan Ruofeng returned to the room. Taibu Xingjun was in meditation beside him, and Yu Xiaobai still hadn't woken up. He could only squat quietly beside the bed and doze off, and fell asleep without realizing it.

The next morning, the three were awakened by a loud noise.

It turned out that the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect were anxious to get to the West Sea, so they got up early and woke up the disciples of Yunji Villa next door, which led to a dispute between the two gangs.

Yu Xiaobai woke up and saw Helan Ruofeng, who had just woken up as well. Their eyes met and Yu Xiaobai blushed a little.

"I'll go out and take a look." Helan Ruofeng quickly got up and ran away.

"What's the fuss?" Taibu Xingjun glanced at Yu Xiaobai and stood up to go outside.

Yu Xiaobai slept for a long time and felt sore all over. He stretched and slowly got up and went out.

In the hall, Xing Fang took the lead and surrounded the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect.

There are only eight people in Xiaoyao Sect, and twenty-four people in Yunji Villa. Excluding Zi Yan and Yu Xiaobai who are standing aside, there are still twenty-two people.

The number of people in Yunji Villa alone is three times that of Xiaoyao Sect. If a fight breaks out, the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect will definitely suffer.

"You want to use your numbers to bully the few, but we in the Xiaoyao Sect may not be afraid of you." Qian Shang shouted angrily.

"What do you mean by using the majority to bully the minority? We are united to face the outside world." Xing Fang argued disdainfully.

As for why they quarreled? Last night, all the male disciples of Yunji Villa went to the cold pond to soak in the hot springs. They came back too late and couldn't get up in the morning. They were disturbed by the early-rising disciples of Xiaoyao Sect, so this happened.

"What are you arguing about?" Taibu Xingjun wanted to be a peacemaker, so he asked.

"Old Immortal Master, we got up early today and planned to set off on our journey. Liu Junsheng from Yunji Villa said that we had disturbed his sweet dream and insisted that my Junior Brother Qianyi kneel down and apologize." Qian Shang explained.

"Hmph, not only did he not apologize, he also insulted my master." Liu Junsheng came out and said immediately.

"It's getting late now. It's because you came back too late last night. I didn't blame you for disturbing my sweet dream last night, but you said that we disturbed you? Is the dignified Yunji Villa so confused about right and wrong?" Qian Yi, the youngest of Xiaoyao Sect, pointed at Liu Junsheng and asked.

"Let's not waste any more time. Are you going to kneel or not?" Tong Yi stood up and asked with the look of a street dandy.

"You?" Qian Shang was so angry that he trembled and raised the sword in his hand to press against Tong Yi's hand.

At one moment, people on both sides drew their swords and pointed them at each other, as if they were ready to fight at any time.

"The master asked you to come out for training, not to do whatever you want." A long sword suddenly flew over and knocked all the swords of the disciples of Yunji Villa to the ground.

"Who is so ungrateful as to dare, dare..." Tong Yi looked up and swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach.

"Big Brother..." All the disciples present at Yunji Villa called out respectfully.

"Big Brother..." Zi Yan, who was watching the show on the side, also hurried forward and stood still.

Zhou Ze glanced at Tong Yi and the others with disdain, nodded at Zi Yan, and walked straight to Qian Shang.

"My fellow Daoist, Yunji Mountain Villa has taught such evil people. As their eldest senior brother, Zhou Ze feels deeply ashamed and would like to apologize to you. In the subsequent trials, Zhou Ze will accompany and supervise them all the way to prevent them from doing evil again. I hope that fellow Daoist will not take it to heart."

As soon as Zhou Ze opened his mouth, he reflected and apologized in a humble and polite manner. Tong Yi, Mo Xiaotan and other unconvinced junior brothers and sisters did not dare to say anything more.

None of the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect could find any fault. After all, the man apologized right from the start. He was worthy of being the youngest immortal who could be expected to achieve great success in the future.

"Brother Zhou Ze, there is no need to apologize. They are the ones who are wrong. As long as they are willing to apologize to my brother, we will not pursue the matter any further." Qian Shang returned a salute to Zhou Ze before speaking solemnly.

"Whoever caused this, come out and apologize immediately, otherwise everyone will be punished." Zhou Ze turned around and looked at the people who loved to cause trouble the most.

"Ah..." Liu Junsheng was kicked out by Tong Yi before he had time to think.

"All three of you, stand up and apologize." Zhou Ze said sternly.

These three people refer to Tong Yi, Liu Junsheng and Shang Zhongyan.

"Senior Brother..." Even though Tong Yi was unwilling, he did not dare to disobey Zhou Ze's order and stood up timidly.

Shang Zhongyan was originally Tong Yi's tail maggot. His body was gone, so there was no way for his tail to hide. Naturally, he hurried forward.

"Why are you looking at me? Why don't you apologize?" Zhou Ze shouted again.

"I'm sorry, Junior Brother Qianyi, we shouldn't bully the minority, we shouldn't spread rumors, and we shouldn't disturb your sweet dreams. Please forgive us." The three of them apologized to Qianyi again.

"Hmph, don't do this again next time. Learn more from your senior brother Zhou Ze. Brothers and sisters, let's go." Qian Yi was offended just now, and now that he got an apology, he left arrogantly.

"Senior Brother Zhou Ze, let's say goodbye here. Goodbye." After Qian Shang said this, he led several junior brothers and sisters out of the inn.

Zhou Ze looked carefully at everyone present and frowned in confusion.
