Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"If what this hexagram says is true, Lin Hongwen is indeed in danger." Zhou Ze was silent for a moment, then said to Aying and her brother.

Aying was speechless and a little at a loss for a moment. Her father was still waiting for her uncle to come home and reunite with her one day after he figured it out!

"Little Taoist Priest? How about you also tell fortunes? Maybe..." Ah Quan asked Zhou Ze in a flattering manner.

"Little brother, although my junior brothers and sisters like to play, they are indeed capable of divination. What's more, the root cause of your uncle's bad luck lies in himself. Even if he is not trapped by evil spirits, there will be evil people blocking his way and disaster will befall him. This is his destiny." Although Zhou Ze was reluctant, he still told the truth to A Quan.

"Big Brother, don't we have a way to resolve this?" Zi Yan suddenly asked again.

"People's fate has long been determined. The so-called way to resolve it is to borrow the luck and energy of others to temporarily relieve the worries of this life, and you must repay others in the next life." Zhou Ze explained carefully.

"In that case, my uncle is doomed to die, isn't he? Little Taoist priest, I don't need you to resolve the situation. Can you let me go with you to Chan City? I must find my uncle back!" Ah Quan looked at everyone with a firm gaze and an extremely resolute tone.

"A Quan, what are you doing? Don't you know how dangerous it is to do this? If anything happens to you again, how will your parents live?" Upon hearing what A Quan said, A Ying yelled.

"Sister, you don't understand how much Dad has missed Uncle over the years. Since Uncle left, Dad has been depressed every day. If not, he wouldn't have been distracted and broke his leg. Uncle is his only brother. If we also give up looking for Uncle, how disappointed Dad will be?" Ah Quan couldn't help crying as he spoke.

"No, I don't agree with you going to Chancheng anyway." Aying said without question.

"I'm going to go no matter what." A Quan refused to give in.

"You siblings don't have to argue anymore. If you really want to go with us, go back and tell your parents. If they agree, I will allow you to go with us." Zhou Ze said seriously.

"Okay, I'll go back and tell my parents right away." After saying that, Aying grabbed Aquan and walked towards the village.

"Big Brother, do you really want to take these siblings with you? Will they pass by that Zen City on the way?" Yu Xiaobai asked curiously.

"It should pass by." Zhou Ze replied uncertainly.

"When we go to the Far North, we will definitely pass through Chan City. I heard that although Chan City is close to the Far North, it is not cold, but abnormally hot." When Tong Yi heard that they would pass by Chan City, he was so excited that he almost jumped up.

"So what if it's hot? Don't we have summer in Crescent Moon Country?" Mo Xiaotan looked at him like an idiot.

"How can they be the same? You said it was summer, but this Zen City is unusually hot in the ice and snow. How strange." Tong Yi couldn't hide his smile, which showed that he was really happy.

"Hmph, idiot." Mo Xiaotan snorted disdainfully.

"It's so hot in this snowy place. What does it feel like? I'm curious too." Xing Fang also joined the topic.

After a while, Aying and her brother appeared in the ruined temple again, and both of them had an extra bag on them.

"Little Master, can we go now?" Ah Ying looked at Zhou Ze with a determined look and asked.

"Let's go. Once we get to Chan City, I will help you find Lin Hongwen with my fellow disciples."

This time they were still flying on a sword, Zhou Ze took Ah Quan with him, while Zi Yan was responsible for taking Ah Ying. Along the way, the two siblings went from being cautious at the beginning to joking boldly at the end.

They set out in the morning and arrived at the gate of Zen City in the evening.

The road was covered with snow all the way. Not far from Chan City, you could see the snow melting gradually. When you arrived at the city gate, there was no trace of snow, and even lush green trees appeared.

As soon as their feet touched the ground, they could feel a heat rising from the soles of their feet. The group of people were so hot that they began to take off their heavy cloaks and outer robes.

"I never thought there really is such a magical place." Yu Xiaobai stuffed a pile of clothes into the Qiankun bag with a smile on his face.

"Hey, I heard that you can hide things in Lingxu?" Seeing Yu Xiaobai's actions, Mo Xiaotan walked forward and asked curiously.

In fact, she was not really curious, she just didn't believe what Qianying said, that Yu Xiaobai was really that powerful.

"What's it got to do with you? I can hide wherever I want." Yu Xiaobai gave her a disdainful look.

"You, what's that look in your eyes?" Mo Xiaotan was very angry with Yu Xiaobai and asked with gritted teeth.

"That's the look you saw. Can't you even understand rolling your eyes?" Yu Xiaobai said, rolling his eyes again.

"Big Brother, Yu Xiaobai is going too far. I just want to talk to her nicely." Mo Xiaotan said coquettishly to Zhou Ze.

"..." Zhou Ze looked at Yu Xiaobai speechlessly.

“Hehehe…” Yu Xiaobai immediately showed a cute smile towards Zhou Ze, without any trace of the eye-rolling look from before.

"Stop making trouble and go into the city quickly!" Zhou Ze said indifferently.

"Junior Sister Xiaoyu, can you really hide things in the void? What's your level of cultivation?" Xing Fang also quietly came to Yu Xiaobai and asked.

"I'll let you see it for yourself, so that you won't think I'm bragging." After Yu Xiaobai said this, he summoned Meiyu out of Lingxu.

"How about it? Can you do it?" Yu Xiaobai asked Xing Fang proudly.

"It's actually true? Junior Sister Xiaoyu, how old are you? You're so awesome!" Xing Fang no longer had the flattery he had before. He was completely like a little fanboy, completely falling for Yu Xiaobai's charm.

The others were all shocked when they saw this, and Mo Xiaotan's eyes widened in disbelief. She didn't believe Qianying's words at all. She was the best disciple in Yunji Villa. If Ziyan hadn't come from behind, she would have always been the first.

But now, Yu Xiaobai, who suddenly appeared from the sky, is even more powerful than Zi Yan, leaving it with no chance of competing with her.

"Junior Sister Xiaoyu, if I have time, I will definitely spar with you." Seeing this, Zhou Ze couldn't help but said seriously.

He admitted that he had underestimated Junior Sister Xiaoyu before, thinking that she was just an apprentice that the High Priest had taken in for fun. After all, she didn't even know the basics like divination.

"Oh, that won't do. I'm no match for the senior brother. The senior brother is the one with the greatest hope of becoming the youngest immortal in history." Yu Xiaobai refused modestly.

"Junior sister Xiaoyu is too modest, and it is you, brother, who is too arrogant." Zhou Ze said sincerely.

"Since Senior Brother is so enthusiastic, then it's a deal. I'll compete with you when I have time. But I have to make it clear in advance that you must give in to me." Yu Xiaobai immediately said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll do as Junior Sister Xiaoyu says." Zhou Ze also said with a rare smile.

The group entered the city in a mighty procession. As soon as Aying and her brother entered the city, they began to look around, hoping to be lucky enough to meet their uncle in this Zen city.

"It's getting late today. How about we find an inn in the city to stay first and then go look for your uncle tomorrow?" Zhou Ze took the lead in asking Aying and her brother about their wishes.

"We will follow the arrangements of the little Taoist priest. Little Taoist priest, here is the money needed for accommodation and meals." Aying said, taking out a purse and handing it to Zhou Ze with some shame.

Everyone stopped to watch her action, but their thoughts were completely different.

"Who would be spoiled by such little money?" The businessmen's children headed by Mo Xiaotan were very disdainful. This bag of silver might have been saved by Aying over several years, but it was not worth even a piece of clothing for them.

"As disciples of the Immortal Sect, it is our duty to eliminate harm for the people. Senior Brother should not accept his money, right?"

"Big Brother is the son of the Prime Minister. Does he need that little bit of money?"

"That's right. We are here to eliminate harm and help others. We will not ask for money from the people casually."

"Little Taoist Priest, I know this amount of money is too little, but it's all I have. I hope you will accept it." Ah Ying said with an affirmative look, pouring out the silver and money in the bag, and her previous shame was swept away.

The bag was filled with copper coins and small change, but mixed with a small piece of gold, which Yu Xiaobai had forced upon her when she bought the chicken.

"Miss Aying, it is my duty to exorcise demons and help the weak. Please keep the money. I won't take it." Zhou Ze decisively rejected Aying's kindness.

"Sister Aying, we are not short of money. Look, this Senior Sister Mo is the richest person in the area, and this Senior Sister Wei is from one of the richest business families. And Senior Brother Tong, Senior Brother Liu, and Senior Brother Shang, each of their families is rich. They are not short of money, but what they lack is the opportunity to do good deeds." Seeing Aying's persistence, Yu Xiaobai immediately stepped forward to persuade her.

Everyone was stunned after hearing her words. Was this a compliment or an insult?

"Senior Sister Mo is the most generous. She didn't have any other intentions just now. She just wanted to help all of us by paying for accommodation and meals. You don't have to be polite to her." Yu Xiaobai said, looking straight at Mo Xiaotan.

Yu Xiaobai complained in his heart: Yaya, I'm letting you show off. You have money, so why do you look down on others? Just let you spend money.

"Then Aying would like to thank Mo Xiangu very much." Aying seemed to understand what Yu Xiaobai meant. She put away her purse and thanked Mo Xiaotan.

"...Uh, haha, tonight's food and lodging...are all on me." Mo Xiaotan was outmaneuvered by Yu Xiaobai and could only say awkwardly.

Not to mention one day, she could afford to hire him for ten days, half a month, a year or two. But she felt a little uncomfortable being treated like this.

Chan City is very large and is the second largest city in Hanxing Kingdom. The five major sects of the Immortal Sect are established in the suburbs north of Chan City.

Zhou Ze led everyone for a long time before they settled down at an inn called Xianke's Home.

There were so many of them that they occupied the entire third floor of the inn. Ah Ying lived with Zi Yan because Zi Yan had carried her on her sword, and Ah Quan also lived with Zhou Ze.

Yu Xiaobai was happy to live alone in the spacious single room.

There is no curfew in Chancheng at night, and the streets are full of noise. The hawking of various vendors is endless, and the smell of snacks and delicacies can be smelled even in the inn.

The heat here meets the severe cold outside the city, causing thick white fog to rise in the entire Zen city at night, making the brightly lit Zen city look as mysterious as if wrapped in a ball of white cotton.

After dinner, Yu Xiaobai was still attracted by the delicious food outside. After thinking it over again and again, she decided to tell Zhou Ze.

A group of people gathered in Zhou Ze's room, all of them wanting to wander outside.

"You can go out, but you must go in groups and don't cause trouble. If you meet disciples of the Yuling Sect, don't cause conflicts." Zhou Ze didn't object to them going out to play at night, he could only give some instructions.

As soon as Zhou Ze spoke, everyone left the inn in groups of three or five.

Aying and her brother, Zi Yan and Yu Xiaobai were traveling together.

Along the way, Yu Xiaobai and Ah Quan were like country kids coming to the city, exploring everything they saw. Ah Ying followed behind them sensibly, and Zi Yan also followed them with a cold expression.

At night in Chancheng, the heat waves are rolling, and even the air is stuffy. When night falls, the Chancheng Night Market is bustling with people coming and going.

The streets are lined with all kinds of stalls, and the aroma of delicious food fills the air. The stall owners are shouting enthusiastically and showing off their specialties. From traditional snacks to novel delicacies, there is everything you can think of, making you salivate.

In addition to delicious food, some stalls are filled with various exquisite accessories and handicrafts. People walk around in cool clothes and choose their favorite items.

Yu Xiaobai likes this place because it has a strong sense of human life.

"A Quan, I'll treat you to some candied haws." Yu Xiaobai bought four strings of candied haws and handed them to several people.

It was the first time for Quan and Ying to go to the city. They were very excited and wanted to try all kinds of food.

Zi Yan, who had always been indifferent, was influenced by them and the indifference on her face faded a lot.

She silently took the candied haws that Yu Xiaobai handed to her and carefully put it to her mouth to try it. It tasted sweet and sour, and was surprisingly delicious.

Yu Xiaobai was a little surprised by her behavior tonight. It seemed that Zi Yan started to change since last night in the dilapidated temple.

She is no longer as cold and indifferent as before. I don't know what she has been through to become like this now, but Yu Xiaobai is no longer as sad as before.

The four of them were strolling around happily when suddenly a figure stood in front of Yu Xiaobai.

Yu Xiaobai looked up and saw a familiar face. At this moment, he was looking at her with a smile in his eyes.

"Ruofeng?" When Yu Xiaobai saw an acquaintance, he rushed over and bumped into Helan Ruofeng.

Helan Ruofeng caught her naturally and didn't feel strange because of the looks from people around him.

"Oh, I can't see it, I can't see it!" Taibu Xingjun pretended to cover his eyes with his hands, but spoke deliberately.

Bai Qiyang and Cong Li stood aside and watched in amazement.

When Yu Xiaobai heard the voice of Taibu Xingjun, he quickly stepped away from Helan Ruofeng and glared at him fiercely.

"Miss Xiaoyu, why are you looking at me?" Taibu Xingjun felt frightened when Yu Xiaobai looked at him. His panda eyes had not faded yet!

"Old man, I don't care about what happened last time. How dare you still say that?" Yu Xiaobai said angrily.

"You hit my eyes like this. If it weren't for Feng'er, I would have punished you severely." Taibu Xingjun also said with the look of an old child.

"Hmph! Ruofeng, let's go, before he teaches you bad things." After saying this, Yu Xiaobai was about to pull Helan Ruofeng away.

"Junior Sister Xiaoyu? Have you forgotten what Senior Brother said?" Zi Yan suddenly said.

"It's okay, you guys go back first! Senior Brother also knows Ruofeng, he won't blame me." Yu Xiaobai felt that with Helan Ruofeng around, there would be no big problem.

"Xiao Yu, my master and I have just arrived here, and we haven't found an inn to stay yet." Helan Ruofeng pulled her aside and explained.

"Is that so?" Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaobai was slightly startled. His originally bright eyes dimmed instantly. He slowly loosened the little hand that was tightly holding Helan Ruofeng, and his expression seemed a little lonely.
