Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"Although she brought me here, she didn't harm my life. You see, she was afraid that I would be cold, so she let me sleep on the warm jade bed." Cong Li pointed innocently at the warm jade bed where he had slept for a day and a night.

"Silly Cong Li, all the floor tiles in the palace are made of warm jade, except the room where you are locked up. It's made of ice tiles. She is freezing you on purpose." Yu Xiaobai looked at the innocent Cong Li. How could this guy be so naive.

Cong Li was slightly stunned, then he said firmly: "Old lady Bu, Cong Li still hopes that the master can show mercy. The Snow Demon does not deserve to be put to death." As he spoke, his face was full of innocence and simplicity.

"Haha, Xiao Yuer is born with a kind heart. Otherwise, you can go out and talk to Immortal Xiaobai to see if he is willing to let Meng Jiao go." Taibu Xingjun said with a loving face.

After hearing what Taibu Xingjun said, Cong Li hurried out. Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng also ran out after him.

Outside, after Bai Qiyang and Meng Jiao's struggle, the entire sea area was already in ruins. The affected aquatic creatures swam around to escape, and Meng Jiao was also forced to retreat step by step by Bai Qiyang, with wounds all over her body and in a miserable state.

"Bai Qiyang, I want a truce with you." Meng Jiao shouted loudly, but he did not lose his momentum.

"You also called me by my full name? You monster, how dare you say that my brother is a watchdog, and you also call me a fool. You still want a truce now? I will beat you to death." Bai Qiyang refused to stop at this time. When had he ever been called a fool?

"Bai Qiyang, I almost became your sister-in-law after all, you can't be so rude." Seeing that the hard approach didn't work, Meng Jiao started to use a soft approach.

"You monster, you still have the nerve to mention that you almost became my sister-in-law? Did you succeed? No." After saying this, Bai Qiyang was about to start again.

Cong Li arrived at this moment and stood in front of Meng Jiao.

"Master, please let her go! She just wants to be with the one she loves. She has never hurt anyone." Cong Li begged loudly.

Meng Jiao was originally prepared to accept the challenge, but she didn't expect that a word from Cong Li would make her long-defended heart break in an instant.

For thousands of years, this was the only person who spoke her mind, and he was just a mermaid without an incarnation, a mermaid who didn't even know what love was.

Meng Jiao put away her outstretched hand, and a crystal tear slowly flowed from her beautiful eyes. She changed her previous aggressiveness, and her sad eyes made her look particularly charming.

"Cong Li, my good disciple, are you okay? Did this guy bully you?" When Bai Qi Yang saw Cong Li, the anger in his eyes quickly faded away and he asked worriedly.

"Master, I'm fine. She didn't bully me. Please let her go!" Cong Li immediately knelt down and pleaded for Meng Jiao.

"My dear disciple...what are you talking about?" Bai Qiyang was confused for a moment. He didn't know why Cong Li would plead for a demon who had kidnapped him.

"Master, we mermaids only love one person in our lifetime. If one of them dies, the other won't live long. Even if they barely survive, they will never fall in love with another person. Congli doesn't understand love, but Congli admires the snow demon's persistence. She is just following the footsteps of this lover and wants to stay with him forever. She is not wrong." Congli looked at Meng Jiao and said sincerely.

Bai Qiyang's originally arrogant attitude suddenly weakened.

"One pair of people for a lifetime is not enough. Won't you get tired of each other if you stay together for lifetimes?" Yu Xiaobai asked blankly.

"One pair for life people……"

Everyone looked at Yu Xiaobai, wondering why she blurted out these words.

Meng Jiao looked at Yu Xiaobai with tears in her eyes and said, "It's not enough, not in this lifetime. If I was destined to be without Zheng Lang, I would not live alone in this world."

Everyone present was confused. Hei Duo suddenly interrupted and said, "If that's the case, why didn't you follow him and commit suicide when your Zheng Lang died?"

"Heiduo, shut up." Yu Xiaobai yelled. Why were you making a fuss at this time?

"Suicide? I am the God of the Underworld Water, and I have a long life. As long as I want, Zheng Lang can live with me and be immortal. It's all Bai Ji's fault. Why did he want to destroy the relationship between Zheng Lang and me? Why did he want to separate us?" Meng Jiao suddenly shouted heartbreakingly.

"You think you're right to steal the lifespan of human beings? If you love Zheng Lang so much, why don't you share your lifespan with him?" Yu Xiaobai couldn't help asking.

"Of course I am willing to do so, but, but..." But she didn't think so much at the time.

Moreover, according to the divination at that time, if she gave her life span to Zheng Cong, they would definitely turn against each other in the future. Therefore, she chose the most unacceptable method to help him prolong his life, which led to what happened later.

"Do you know that Lord Baiji let you escape secretly and was punished by suffering twelve heavenly thunders on the Tianxingtai?" Taibu Xingjun suddenly said.

"You keep saying that he is a reckless man, a watchdog of the God Realm, and you keep saying that you have deep feelings for Zheng Cong. Isn't Lord Bai Ji also deeply in love with you without knowing it?"

After Taibu Xingjun finished speaking, he looked at Meng Jiao intently, trying to see any change on his face, and he did see it.

Meng Jiao was shocked when she heard what Taibu Xingjun said. That tall and straight figure, that face that always looked at her with a silly smile, how could she not know his feelings for her.

It’s not that Meng Jiao doesn’t know, but she doesn’t want to know and can’t know. Why bother with so much entanglement about feelings that are destined to be unrepayable?

"Bai Ji, I am sorry for him. I know that I owe him something. Until the day comes when I don't repay him, let him forget me!" Meng Jiao said resolutely.

Bai Qiyang saw that Meng Jiao could not be killed, so he could only fly over, grab Cong Li and fly to land.

"Old lady, since this snow monster cannot be killed, there is no need to stay here." Bai Qiyang said disappointedly.

"Meng Jiao, listen to my advice. If you still want to stay with the reincarnation of Zheng Cong, remember to approach him as an ordinary human being and don't cause any more trouble." Taibu Xingjun turned around and said to Meng Jiao before leaving.

"Meng Jiao has made note of it. Thank you, old lady, for the reminder." Meng Jiao bowed deeply.

"Let's go!" Helan Ruofeng took Yu Xiaobai's hand and was about to leave.

"Where is Heiduo?" Yu Xiaobai looked around and found that Heiduo had his ears erect and was glaring at Meng Jiao with his teeth bared, as if he might attack at any time.

"Hei...Duo? What do you want to do?" Yu Xiaobai deliberately shouted in a threatening tone.

As soon as Heiduo heard Yu Xiaobai's voice, his ears drooped immediately, and he quickly retracted his bared teeth, looking at Meng Jiao with a resentful expression.

"Hei...Duo..." Yu Xiaobai couldn't help but yelled viciously again.

"Master, Heiduo is here." Heiduo immediately returned to Yu Xiaobai.

"As a divine beast, you shouldn't be so stingy. Let's go back." Yu Xiaobai reached out and touched his head to comfort him.

Heiduo could only follow Yu Xiaobai obediently.

Hanyu Castle...

A group of disciples from Yunji Villa led by Zhou Ze stayed in an inn.

Rumor has it that many monsters have appeared in Hanyu City, wantonly killing humans and sucking their souls.

Zhou Ze’s first thought was that the demon that had escaped from the outskirts of Chan City had returned.

After this incident happened, there was not a single person left on the already deserted streets of Hanyu City.

That night at the inn...

Zi Yan and Bai Xing lived in the same room. Bai Xing was afraid of the cold, so she fell asleep soon after entering the inn and had already fallen asleep.

Zi Yan leaned against the window, looking at the scenery outside, her thoughts vague.

Suddenly, a moon-white figure passed by the window. Zi Yan took the sword without thinking, opened the window and chased out.

The figure seemed to be trying to lure her out, deliberately slowing down to let her catch up.

Zi Yan thought that she might have been fooled, but she didn't want to give up. After some consideration, she decided to follow.

She had never figured out who was the person who repeatedly shot hidden weapons at her. It was not until she heard Ling Yuwei's confession that day that she boldly guessed that this person was most likely Sa Yulong.

Sure enough, the figure led her directly to an open area and she stood firmly on her feet.

Zi Yan fell down right after him.

"Miss..." Zi Yan asked coldly.

So although it was a test, she was already 90% sure of this person's identity.

"So you knew that I was the eldest daughter? I thought you had already become so proud that you forgot who saved you from hunger." The man said as he slowly turned around and took off his hat, revealing a beautiful face. Who else could it be but Sa Yulong?

"Miss saved Zi Yan from starvation. Zi Yan will never forget her gratitude..."

"Don't dare to forget? Don't dare to forget what you have done? You are bullying me? You caused me to be confined to the Shadowless Cave for a year." Sa Yulong interrupted Zi Yan and shouted.

"You have brought that upon yourself. You bought me in the first place, and I was grateful to you. I also served you for many years. Even though you often beat and scolded me, I never held any grudge against you." Zi Yan raised her head, looked straight into Sa Yulong's eyes and said firmly.

The night was dark, and with the reflection of the snow, Zi Yan could not see Sa Yulong's expression clearly. But from her sudden heavy breathing, she could tell that she was very angry at the moment.

"You, you, how dare you speak to me like that?" Sa Yulong asked gritting her teeth.

She felt as if a ball of fire was about to explode in her chest, so uncomfortable that she wanted to stab the person in front of her to death with a sword.

"Why shouldn't I dare to speak to you like this? Even if you bought me back then, I have served you for many years without any complaints, and I should have paid you back now. Besides, how did you treat me and Xue'er back then? You haven't forgotten, have you? And about the matter of the red-banded snake demon, do you think no one knows about it?" Zi Yan accused in a tough tone.

"What did you say? Who told you about the red-banded snake demon? What do you know?" Sa Yulong asked in an increasingly vicious tone.

"Everyone who should know knows it, and it's not just me. All the disciples who entered the sect three years ago know that you released the red-banded snake demon privately." Zi Yan continued loudly.

"Ah... Zi Yan, you stinky girl, I must kill you today. After I kill you, I will deal with that bitch Ling Yuwei." Sa Yulong suddenly became angry and said with a ferocious face, then raised the sword in her hand and stabbed at Zi Yan unexpectedly.

Fortunately, Zi Yan had already been prepared, and she quickly raised her sword to meet the attack. The two of them were entangled in a fight in an instant, and the collision of swords made a series of pleasant sounds.

"Silly girl, I didn't expect that you have learned something in the past two years." Sa Yulong said, and every move of the sword in her hand was full of murderous intent, determined to kill Zi Yan.

Zi Yan's cultivation was already at the top among this batch of new disciples. Now when facing off against Sa Yulong, the two were almost evenly matched. The only difference was that Sa Yulong had a few more years of practical experience than her.

As expected, after a hundred moves, Zi Yan gradually fell into disadvantage. She was unable to dodge and was stabbed in the left arm.

"After tonight, you will disappear from Hanyu City without anyone noticing." Sa Yulong added viciously, the sword in his hand still kept attacking Zi Yan.

Zi Yan was already struggling, and with her left arm injured, she began to feel constrained everywhere, and soon her right hand was also stabbed.

Sa Yulong took advantage of the victory and kicked Zi Yan to the ground.

"Silly girl, now you finally understand the consequences of offending me, right? If you had known this would happen, you would have been my maid obediently." Sa Yulong slowly approached Zi Yan.

"Sa Yulong, don't forget that I am now the adopted daughter of the high priest. If I die, do you think he will let you go?" Seeing that she couldn't beat her, Zi Yan could only bring up Lan Moqiu to intimidate her.

"Brother Lan? You still dare to mention him? You clearly know that I have liked Brother Lan since I was a child. Now you have become his adopted daughter, but he has kicked me out and I am never allowed to set foot in the Priest's Mansion again. How dare you still mention him now?" After saying this, Sa Yulong didn't wait for Zi Yan to speak, and stabbed the sword in her hand towards her heart.

"Ding..." Just when Zi Yan thought she was going to die, a dart opened Sa Yulong's sword.

"Who is it? How dare you ruin my business?" Sa Yulong immediately looked around vigilantly.

"I never thought that Sa Yulong, the famous senior sister of Yunji Villa, is such a despicable person behind the scenes." A sarcastic female voice came, accompanied by a silver-white figure that came gracefully.

"Since you know who I am, please don't meddle in other people's business." Sa Yulong looked at the person fiercely and threatened.

"Since I know who you are, I don't want to get involved in this kind of business. Who can blame me for being the kind of person who likes to help others when I see injustice?" The woman said in a very lazy tone.

"Looking for death..." Sa Yulong blurted out these two words, raised the sword in his hand again, and stabbed at the woman.

"Hehe..." The woman laughed contemptuously and went towards Sa Yulong without drawing her sword.

Her level of cultivation was indeed worthy of her arrogance, but after only ten moves, Sa Yulong's sword was taken away from her hand.

"Who are you and why do you have to meddle in other people's business?" Sa Yulong asked unwillingly.

"Hey! Since you want to know so much, I will tell you! I am Gu Yunnuo from Xiaoyao Sect, have you ever heard of me?" Gu Yunnuo asked in a soft voice.

"So you are Senior Sister Gu from Xiaoyao Sect? One of the most promising candidates to ascend to the youngest supreme immortal?" Zi Yan asked excitedly when she heard that it was Gu Yunnuo who saved her, not caring about the pain of her injury.

"Little sister, it turns out you still know me!" Gu Yunnuo walked slowly to Zi Yan and reached out to help her up.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Gu. Zi Yan heard that you love your fellow junior brothers and sisters very much." Zi Yan stood up and said.

Having said this, she couldn't help but look towards Sa Yulong with sadness. She once longed for her love and protection, but she never thought that every disaster she encountered was caused by her.

"Little sister, you don't need to be sad. I believe that in your huge Yunji Villa, not everyone is as bad as her." Gu Yunnuo comforted Zi Yan softly.

"A maid whom I bought with my own money dreams of becoming my junior sister and asking me to take care of her. It's just a pipe dream." Sa Yulong said with contempt.

"Why aren't you leaving yet? Do you want to stay here and let me humiliate you?" Gu Yunnuo said sarcastically when he saw that she was not leaving.
