"It's alright, I'll just remind her a bit more, she'll know what's important!" Bu Yao put the Fairy Linglong aside and asked, "How about you, are you alright?"

"It's not a big problem. I haven't wasted all five years. At least I still have some chemistry with this body!" Jiang Yuan was troubled, but he had to accept the fact that he had this body.

Moreover, judging from the attitude of the Eye of All Heavens, he may not be able to break free from this demonic body. Even if he recovers his strength, he will retain at least 30% of the characteristics of the demonic body unless he retrieves his soul and body from the source.

"Thank you for your small contribution!" Bu Yao's eyes held a hint of something else.

"She's not only your daughter, but also my daughter. Why are you thanking me?" Jiang Yuan said with a face full of tenderness when he talked about Xiao Xiao.

Bu Yao smiled, then asked, "What do you think about Xiao Xiao going to the Demon Spirit Kingdom?"

"To be honest, I don't want Xiaoxiao to go. There's a lot of trouble on the battlefield, so I just hope you all stay safe and sound!" Jiang Yuan said.

"Why us? I thought you only had eyes for Xiaoxiao!" Bu Yao's focus was somewhat different from Jiang Yuan's.

Jiang Yuan felt a bitter taste in his mouth. After being deceived by Ning Yanlan once, he dared not easily trust women, especially those as talented and beautiful as Bu Yao. Because of this mentality, the two had never crossed any lines in their five years of living together, not even a single hug. Of course, the fact that his physical body was that of the Demon Lord could not be ruled out.

"You should know why I've ended up like this!" Jiang Yuan sighed but didn't elaborate.

"You say you hate her, but that's not what you really think. Otherwise, you wouldn't have given the power of the Five-Colored Divine Stone and the Heaven-Mending Soul to the Heavenly Soul Child to preserve Ning Yanlan's physical body!" Bu Yao didn't know if she was jealous or what, but she couldn't help but say what was on her mind.

Jiang Yuan fell silent. These past five years could be said to have been a period of suffering for Ning Yanlan. If he hadn't saved Ning Yanlan back then, his recovery time would have been greatly reduced, and he might have been able to return to the human world like an ordinary person in just three years.

“Look, you always fall silent whenever we talk about her!” Bu Yao said helplessly.

"There's nothing we can do about Xiaoxiao going to the Demon Spirit Kingdom for now. We can only intervene when we become stronger!" Jiang Yuan brought the topic back to Xiaoxiao.

You are stronger than me!

Bu Yao sighed heavily. These conditions were far too difficult for them. Jiang Yuan was already mostly ruined, and she herself was also restricted in her personal freedom and her cultivation resources were extremely limited, making it very difficult for her to achieve anything.

"You are an all-rounder in all three elements, and should be one of the strongest on this battlefield. However, you have stagnated for the past five years, so I will do my best to help you!" Jiang Yuan made a promise. Although he and the Holy Spirit Clan were destined to be on opposite sides, Bu Yao was an exception.

Bu Yao subconsciously believed Jiang Yuan's words, but then asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will deal with your human race in the future?"

"I'm afraid, but I believe you won't!" Jiang Yuan nodded and shook his head at the same time. If the Holy Spirit Clan was destined to produce a strong person, he would prefer that person to be Bu Yao.

"Oh!"

Bu Yao smiled but remained silent.

"Help me grind off the demon god horns. The demon god veins in my body have disappeared. They won't grow back after this!" Jiang Yuan took off his loose hat, revealing a pair of horns with profound demon god patterns.

Bu Yao took out her tools and skillfully parted her hair to find the root of the demon god's horn. As she worked, she casually said, "Have you ever thought about staying? Just the two of us running the little shop, and then raising Xiao Xiao together!"

"I've thought about it, but it's not realistic!" Jiang Yuan said bluntly.

"Is it because of me, or because of you?"

"My problem! I owe too much, and others owe me too much. Without repaying these debts, all that's left is a walking corpse!"

Jiang Yuan wanted to reach the pinnacle of this battlefield, not be trampled into the dust and fall into despair. He couldn't face Bu Yao and Xiao Xiao in that state.

"The walking dead? Luckily, it's not that kind of zombie. It's actually quite pleasing to the eye!" Bu Yao joked, trying to sound relaxed.

As a born demonic being in the universe, the Demon Lord is top-notch in both talent and appearance, so Bu Yao's comment that he is pleasing to the eye is not a joke.

"Let's start selling pills tomorrow. We need to prepare travel expenses for Xiaoxiao's long journey. We can't let her lose face in front of the other little demon spirits!"

"His eyes are only on Xiaoxiao!"

"Who said that? I still have eyes for Xiao Bai Ze!"

"screw you!"
