Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

They came to a bottomless place, surrounded by strange-shaped rocks and buildings.

Extending downwards along the stairs, there is a square terrace in the middle. On the terrace is a magic array composed of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. In the middle of the array is a tall pillar, on which are hovering statues of the four mythical beasts.

The four sides of the pillar were tied with iron chains, and the four sides of the iron chains were deeply embedded in the ground. From time to time, flames spewed out from the top of the pillar.

The temperature of the ground was too hot to touch.

"It's so hot. I can't stand it anymore." Yu Xiaobai really regretted following him. In such a hot place, people would be steamed to death in less than half an hour.

"Foolish gods, you actually imprisoned me here. Even if I am tied up, I can make you live in agony and die of heat." Suddenly, an angry voice sounded.

"Who are you? You said that the gods trapped you here? What mistake did you make?" Cong Li asked.

"That black statue is you, right?" Helan Ruofeng suddenly said.

"You young man? You actually recognize me?" The arrogant voice sounded again.

"Oh, so you are the black dog!" When Yu Xiaobai heard this, wasn't the statue a dog?

"Xiao Yu..." Helan Ruofeng quickly stopped her from speaking any further.

"You ignorant boy, how dare you compare this work with that lowly beast?" the voice suddenly roared angrily.

"..." Yu Xiaobai and Cong Li looked at each other innocently. Isn't that statue a dog? The only difference between it and a dog should be that its tail is forked, right?

"If I'm not mistaken, you are the legendary monster - Huodou." Helan Ruofeng guessed.

"Hahaha, this young man is knowledgeable and can actually tell you my identity." The voice roared proudly.

"Even though you're sealed, why are you still so rampant?" Helan Ruofeng said this unexpectedly.

"Hahaha..." Yu Xiaobai and Cong Li were both amused by his words.

One second he didn't let them talk nonsense, and the next second he started to confront them.

"Ah... ignorant boy, I will kill you." The voice became even more angry, and the temperature around him began to rise again.

"It would be great if the Snow Demon was here. It could neutralize the temperature here and it wouldn't be so hot." Yu Xiaobai suddenly thought of this idiotic idea.

"Snow Demon? Meng Jiao, are you talking about that bitch Meng Jiao?" the voice suddenly asked again.

"It's too hot, I can't hear you clearly." Helan Ruofeng replied loudly.

"I'm asking you, is the snow demon you just mentioned the bitch Meng Jiao?" the voice asked again.

"It's too hot, I can't hear you clearly." Helan Ruofeng spoke louder this time.

"Wuwuwu... Wuwuwu..." Suddenly, the voice began to sob for no apparent reason.

"Ruofeng, he seems to be crying?" Yu Xiaobai said.

"Yes, I heard it too. He was crying." Cong Li blinked his big eyes in confusion.

"I don't understand why he is crying." Helan Ruofeng spread his hands. He didn't understand either.

"I'm just a simple monster. I've never done anything bad. I live freely by the Nether River in the underworld. It was that bitch Meng Jiao who deceived me and caused me to be sealed here for thousands of years. Wuuuu..." The voice was very rough, and it was a bit ridiculous to cry like that.

As his crying sounded, the temperature dropped slightly.

"How did she deceive you?" Helan Ruofeng asked cautiously.

"Are you willing to listen?" he suddenly asked in a wronged tone, and his tone was like that of a child who had suffered injustice and hurt.

"If you are willing to talk, I am willing to listen." Helan Ruofeng continued.

"If they had been willing to listen to my explanation, I wouldn't have been trapped here for thousands of years." The tone became more aggrieved.

"Tell us now and we will find a way to help you explain to the gods. Maybe you can leave this place." Yu Xiaobai suddenly felt that this guy named Huodou might not be as bad as he imagined.

"Okay, then I'll tell you." He was no longer crazy, and spoke in a very aggrieved voice about how he was sealed here.

About ten thousand years ago, the Demon King Feng Xi had already died. As the Demon King's spirit beast, he actually didn't know the truth about the Demon King's death at all.

All he knew was that without the protection of the Demon King, the demon world was ruthlessly pressed to the ground by the God Realm. As Feng Xi's spirit beast, he, Huo Dou, was forced to guard the evil spirits being punished by the Netherworld River.

Although it doesn't sound like a good job, he enjoys this job very much. Pluto has granted it the privilege to eat those evil spirits who committed many evil deeds in their lifetime.

He was born with the body of a monster. He liked to eat fire and excrete it. Wherever he passed, fires broke out and there was grief everywhere.

"What do you mean?" Yu Xiaobai gently pulled Helan Ruofeng's sleeve.

"That's right. It poops out whatever it eats. It likes to eat things like flames, so if it relieves itself anywhere, it will cause a fire." Helan Ruofeng explained with a little embarrassment.

For some reason, Huodou later became the spirit pet of the Demon King Feng Xi, and lived peacefully in the demon world for a very long time.

Until the Demon King Fen Ji, he was punished by the God Realm to be in the Netherworld River for more than 3,000 years. One day more than 7,000 years ago, the Snow Demon Meng Jiao suddenly came to the underworld to find it, saying that there was a way to find a way for the Demon King to be reborn.

Huo Dou was naive and believed Meng Jiao's words. The two of them broke into the God Realm and stole the Liuguang Mirror.

Huodou was captured by the guardian general Bai Ji while escaping, while Meng Jiao escaped with the Liuguang Mirror.

Later, Huodou learned from the heavenly soldiers who escorted him that Meng Jiao stole the Liuguang Mirror just to find the reincarnation place of her lover.

The God Realm feared that he would escape again, so they sealed him in the human world with a formation, which is now the north of Chan City in the Hanxing Kingdom.

The gods originally thought that his attributes might affect the survival of the human race, so they sealed him in the extremely cold northern land. And the Zen City, which was originally covered with snow all year round, suddenly melted the snow after the arrival of the evil spirits, and became a piece of warm land in the ice and snow.

"Wuuuu, just tell me if I'm wronged or not?" Huodou said this and started crying again.

"It's really unfair. This Meng Jiao is a piece of shit." Yu Xiaobai echoed him.

"But you shouldn't hurt the human beings here like this. They worship you as a god, and you enjoy their offerings but kill them." Helan Ruofeng condemned him after hearing what he said.

"I don't want to kill them. I've been sealed for seven thousand years. Can't I have some anger?" He suddenly stopped crying and roared viciously.

With his roar, the temperature began to rise again.

"Huodou, calm down, calm down. If you can control your temper and promise not to get angry again, we can find a way to rescue you." Yu Xiaobai spoke to coax him.

"My name is not Huodou, my name is Heiduo. This is the name my master gave me." Huodou, no, it's Heiduo suddenly said seriously.

"Heiduo, right? As long as you stop getting angry, we can find a way to help you lift the seal so that you can escape from here." Yu Xiaobai continued to coax.

"Xiao Yu, he was sealed here by the God Realm. How can we help him lift the seal and let him go out to harm the world?" Helan Ruofeng hurriedly advised.

"But, he said he was just a simple monster." Yu Xiaobai thought, how could a monster that looked so cute even when crying be a ferocious beast?

"Can you really save me?" Hei Duo suddenly stopped crying and asked seriously.

"Do you know how to rescue you?" Yu Xiaobai asked hurriedly.

"Xiao Yu, listen to me, don't act rashly." Helan Ruofeng always felt that Yu Xiaobai's decision was inappropriate.

"Miss Xiaoyu, I also think that Helan should be the one to decide this matter." Cong Li also objected.

"But I really feel sorry for him being locked here." Yu Xiaobai said reluctantly.

"He is an ancient ferocious beast. If we rescue him, what if he sets fires everywhere and wreaks havoc on the human world?" Helan Ruofeng always felt that the Huo Dou should not be released.

"Then do we have any other way to control him? As long as we don't lock him up here." Yu Xiaobai begged. For some reason, she inexplicably liked this Hei Duo.

"Helan, if Miss Xiaoyu really wants to lift the seal of this evil spirit, there is a method worth a try." Cong Li said after thinking it over again and again.

"What method?" Helan Ruofeng and Yu Xiaobai asked at the same time.

"If you sign a master-servant contract with him and make him your spiritual pet, he will not be able to go against your wishes and do anything that is against the will of heaven and earth. Isn't that enough?" Cong Li said.

"But can this master-servant contract be signed casually?" Helan Ruofeng was still a little worried.

"It should be possible. Why don't we ask the old fortune teller?" Cong Li doesn't know how to do it, so he doesn't know if the old fortune teller can do it.

"I can, but I don't know if this Huo Dou is willing?" Helan Ruofeng said to Yu Xiaobai.

"I have a master, how can I sign a master-servant contract with others? I, Hei Duo, will not be a traitor to my master." Hei Duo roared angrily.

"If you are unwilling to sign a master-servant contract with me, how can you guarantee that you won't do bad things after you get out?" Yu Xiaobai asked loudly.

Wouldn’t it be great if I could make this big black dog my pet?

"But my master is the Demon King Feng Xi, how can I betray her?" Hei Duo said, and her voice became sad.

"Didn't you say that your master is gone? You are doing this just to save yourself, and it doesn't count as betraying her. If she comes back one day, I will terminate the contract between you and me, how about it?" Yu Xiaobai said again.

"But what if you lie to me?" He was worried about Yu Xiaobai.

Once the master-servant contract is signed, the lives of the two are bound together. Unless the master dies, the master-servant contract will last for life.

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you. You are an ancient monster with an infinite lifespan. And I am just a human. When my time comes in a hundred years, the contract between you and me will be automatically terminated." Yu Xiaobai continued to persuade.

She is a demon now. If nothing unexpected happens, she should be able to live for a few hundred years. It will be up to her to decide what to do then. She has already decided to take care of this big dog.

"That's right, she is a human. You just need to sign a lifetime contract with her to gain your freedom. In the end, you still make a profit in this deal." Helan Ruofeng also helped Yu Xiaobai persuade.

"Are you still hesitating? My two friends are very trustworthy. If they promise you a lifetime, it will definitely be a lifetime." Cong Li stood by to help prove the character of the two.

But he was only half right. Yu Xiaobai was not a trustworthy person. Apart from herself and Lan Moqiu, no one else knew that she was a demon.

"In that case, I agree to be your slave." Hei Duo was silent for a while, and finally compromised.

"Okay, don't worry. As long as you become my slave, um, my spiritual pet, I will treat you very well." Yu Xiaobai was so happy that she almost jumped up. She never thought that one day she would have her own spiritual pet.

"Come on, rescue me!" Hei Duo immediately changed his tone to a calm one.

"Find a place to hide first. We must break this magic circle first." Helan Ruofeng said.

"Okay, you can try it now." Hei Duo said, his tone full of anticipation.

"Cong Li, you are from the water tribe, you go out first." Helan Ruofeng reminded.

"Okay, be careful."

Cong Li said this and walked up the stairs.

Yu Xiaobai also looked at Helan Ruofeng with anticipation.

Helan Ruofeng rushed into the magic circle, and saw him constantly using his spiritual power to change his finger gestures. The magic circle suddenly came alive and began to rotate in different directions and patterns like a compass.

After a while, the floor around the pillar moved in all directions, and the pillar began to extend upwards. A large section of the pillar several meters high slowly appeared below, and a dark black dog was tied on it. The black dog had rough hair, two drooping ears, and a pair of eyes looking upwards with hope.

At this moment, Helan Ruofeng cast a spell to immobilize him at lightning speed.

"Xiao Yu, hurry up, now..." Helan Ruofeng shouted.

"What should I do?" Yu Xiaobai rushed to Helan Ruofeng.

"Let's make a blood contract and follow my instructions..." Helan Ruofeng said as he began to teach Yu Xiaobai.

Yu Xiaobai was excited and followed Helan Ruofeng's instructions carefully.

Yu Xiaobai took his own blood and the black dog's blood, using the blood as a bond to establish an alliance.

Only after the master-servant contract was signed did Helan Ruofeng dare to remove the curse that had immobilized the evil spirit.

"Heiduo..." Yu Xiaobai looked at the black dog in front of him without blinking.

Huodou, such a scary name, but I didn’t expect it to be a cute dog.

"Why did you freeze me just now?" he asked in a silly tone, but his voice was a little rough.

"It's okay. The master-servant contract has been signed and the seal has been lifted. Now, I will help you break these four iron chains." Helan Ruofeng said seriously.

"Without the seal, how can this mere chain tie me up? You guys leave here first, I can get out by myself." He raised his head proudly, looking very domineering.

"Okay, Heiduo, the master is waiting for you upstairs!" Yu Xiaobai said happily and excitedly.

"Let's go, we'll go upstairs and wait." Helan Ruofeng took her hand and walked outside towards the stairs.

Soon, they reached the ground.

Outside, Zi Yan and her friends had already notified the local government to come and deal with the fire. The dead and refugees were also registered by the government.

"You're here? How's it going? Have you signed the master-servant contract?" Cong Li excitedly stepped forward and asked as soon as he saw the two of them.

"Wow, a master-servant contract? Who will sign it with?" When Hong Ling and the others heard this, they all got excited and surrounded them.

"Let me tell you, I have formed a master-servant contract with that little cutie in the underground - Huodou. He has become my spiritual pet from now on, hahaha..." Yu Xiaobai looked at the crowd and laughed so heartlessly, completely ignoring the stunned people present.

"There is a Huo Dou imprisoned underground? Isn't that an ancient ferocious beast?" Hong Ling asked in surprise.
