Tianhun Pavilion (1)
Yin Zhuo paused: "No."
His body hesitated, as if he was eager. But what he said was extremely decisive.
Chi Ce had already put on his clothes and rushed into their bedroom. Seeing Chu Caiwu still in a stalemate with Yin Zhuo, he said, "What are you standing there for? Don't delay me from going to the fairyland." He pulled Chu Caiwu out.
Chu Caiwu staggered after Chi Ce. Her whole body was in extreme pain, as if she was placed in a jar and crushed and beaten with a hammer.
Chu Caiwu held Chi Ce's hand and pulled his own hand out: "Men and women should not touch each other. I won't touch your hand."
Chi Ce was furious: "You peeked at me while I was taking a bath. You saw everything you should have seen. Do you want to run away?"
Chu Caiwu pointed to his attire, which was that of a servant, and said, "I am Master Yin Zhuo's servant. I am a man now. How can a man be responsible for another man?"
After leaving a word, Chu Caiwu ran out without even daring to look back.
Chu Caiwu held onto a pillar, panting and leaning against the ground, his back hunched. Fortunately, Chi Ce did not catch up with him.
But the ground was suddenly covered by a huge figure.
Chu Caiwu raised his head slowly. The man was two meters tall, dressed in purple. He seemed to have seen him somewhere before...
It seemed like... it was the Demon Lord who had punished Yin Zhuo and whom they met in the Demon Clan's Palace...
Chu Caiwu turned around and ran, but after running a few steps, he was suddenly tied up with a rope and was beaten back to his original form, turning into a fennel and falling to the ground.
Chu Caiwu was picked up by a big hand and struggled to move.
"Demon Lord! My Lord!"
"This subordinate pays homage to the Demon Lord."
Chi Ce excitedly called out "Demon Lord" and Yin Zhuo bowed politely.
The Demon Lord held Chu Caiwu in fennel form and placed his hands on the table. "Ruichen's demonic possession hasn't been completed yet, and you're thinking of returning to Suiqingxuan to become his stepson?"
Yin Zhuo bowed his head and clasped his hands. "Chi Ce and I discovered that the disappearance of the demons is related to the immortals. This is a matter concerning the lives of the demons, so we dare not neglect it."
The Demon Lord threw the fennel in his hand, and a fennel hit Yin Zhuo on the head.
"Ah! It hurts so much." Chu Caiwu had already hit the wooden board, and this time he was thrown down again, and the pain exploded.
Yin Zhuo quickly picked up Chu Caiwu, put it into his sleeve, and secretly passed his spiritual power to it.
Spiritual power flowed into every part of Chu Caiwu's body, and the pain gradually subsided, and he was no longer frightened.
The Demon Lord glanced at Yin Zhuo, taking in his movements of transferring spiritual energy. "Did I hurt your beloved?"
Yin Zhuo hesitated and said nothing.
The Demon Lord's eyes were dark and unclear as he said, "Chi Ce has reported this trip to me. Ruichen's demonic possession can be put aside for now. You go to the Immortal Realm to investigate the blood slaves. This fennel is not allowed to return to Suiqingxuan with you."
Chu Caiwu twisted the fennel leaves. She really wanted to come down and poison the demon lord to death with a drop of blood. Why did he treat Yin Zhuo like this, and he didn't let her go back to Suiqingxuan with Yin Zhuo.
Yin Zhuo's face remained calm, but his heart was filled with turmoil. There must be a special arrangement for this. He could only wait for the Demon Lord to continue speaking.
The Demon Lord glanced at the fennel in Yin Zhuo's sleeve and said, "Let her enroll in the Heavenly Soul Pavilion."
Chu Caiwu became excited instantly. Tianhun Pavilion was the highest institution of learning for the immortals. Students were either nobles of the immortals or children of wealthy merchants who made spiritual weapons.
The masters there are all immortal officials of the immortal race. It is difficult for disciples to enroll in the Tianhun Pavilion even if they have good qualifications and spiritual roots.
Tianhun Pavilion has a test that does not test spiritual roots, but tests the soul. The specific standard is unknown.
However, Chu Caiwu has poor qualifications and no noble status. Isn't it a pipe dream for her to enroll in Tianhun Pavilion?
Yin Zhuo argued, "With her qualifications, she can't go to the Heavenly Soul Pavilion. If her identity is exposed again and she is captured by the Immortal Clan's leader to be used as a soul guide, I'm afraid more demons will suffer."
The Demon Lord stood up, gathered a strong palm wind, and hit Yin Zhuo hard. The collision of the immortal and demonic forces in Yin Zhuo's body could not withstand the fluctuations, and he vomited a mouthful of blood at this moment.
Chu Caiwu smelled immortal energy in the blood—Yin Zhuo was injured?!
Chu Caiwu tried desperately to get out of Yin Zhuo's hand, and the restriction was broken in an instant. He transformed into a human form, standing in front of Yin Zhuo, staring at the Demon Lord with vigilance and anger.
The Demon Lord saw all the hatred in his heart. It would be easier for him to crush Chu Caiwu to death than to crush an ant, but keeping her was very useful. Only she could get the Soul-Catching Cup.
It's quite funny to see her angry now.
The Demon Lord swung his palm and hit Yin Zhuo again.
At this moment, the clashing forces of immortal and demon within Yin Zhuo's body were so intense that his blood was rushing up, and he could no longer swallow it back into his stomach. He was vomiting mouthfuls of blood.
Chu Caiwu had no time to help Yin Zhuo, so she bit her palm, bleeding profusely, and slapped the Demon Lord.
Chu Caiwu held his breath, one second, two seconds...
The Demon Lord didn't react at all.
The Demon Lord acted as if nothing had happened and said, "You secretly hated me in your heart, but you were happy to be admitted to the Heavenly Soul Pavilion. Now the other way around, repaying kindness with hatred is just a lie."
A beam of scorching spiritual power was injected into Chu Caiwu's body, her throat was burning, and her whole body felt as if it was being roasted.
Chu Caiwu's whole body felt like it was thrown into a fire, and he rolled on the ground in pain.
Flame-colored patterns spread across Chu Caiwu's arms, and his aura grew weaker and weaker.
Chi Ce quickly stepped forward, grabbed Chu Caiwu's arm, and said, "Soul-stealing spell?"
The soul-stealing spell is a forbidden technique of the immortals. The person who casts the spell can detonate spiritual power at any time, and the person who is cursed will explode and die in an instant.
In other words, the Demon Lord can detonate his spiritual power at any time, causing Chu Caiwu's soul to fly away and his body to explode and die.
The Demon Lord spread out his hands and said, "The Heavenly Soul Pavilion has a treasure from the immortal realm, the Soul-Snatching Cup. This cup is the source of blood slaves and must be blocked. The disciples of the Heavenly Soul Pavilion who perform the best in the assessment can touch the Soul-Snatching Cup."
Chi Ce pondered, "So, you want Chu Caiwu to enter the Heavenly Soul Pavilion to train and win the championship, and then seize the Soul-Snatching Lamp?"
The Demon Lord smiled heartily: "As expected of a son of the Demon Clan, you come straight to the point."
Yin Zhuo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and clenched his sleeves.
He has clearly been working for the demon clan, but the Demon Lord is implying his background and rejecting his bloodline.
They excluded him because he was a half-blood of immortal and demon, and was not as good as the demons.
The immortal and demonic forces in his body were already unstable, and now after being hit by two powerful palms, his spiritual power had become so chaotic that he could no longer control it.
Yin Zhuo had no choice but to plead with the Demon Lord, enduring the humiliation and asking, "I beg the Demon Lord to help me suppress the conflict between the immortal and the demon."
In an instant, the Demon Lord cut through the void and said: "Use this excuse to find the immortals and return to Suiqingxuan to suppress them." After saying that, he left.
When Yin Zhuo was a child, he was often "kicked around". He was kicked from the demon clan to the fairy clan, and then kicked back to the demon clan by the fairy clan. Yin Zhuo swallowed his grievances, but his body looked a little weak.
Yin Zhuo tried hard to stand steady, went to support Chu Caiwu, and patted the fennel leaves on her head.
Chu Caiwu had already calmed down her breathing. She stared at Yin Zhuo, who was so weak that he could not even stand, yet he still came to support her.
Why are food stamps becoming more and more adorable?
Chu Caiwu was in a good mood, and the fennel leaves curled slightly, shrinking and shaking a few times.
Yin Zhuo gathered his spiritual power, cut his finger, and blood gushed out to Chu Caiwu's mouth.
The immortal blood was too tempting and had an irresistible charm. Chu Caiwu took Yin Zhuo's finger into his mouth and sucked the blood into his stomach.
A purple fluorescent chain flew to Chi Ce's side. Chi Ce raised his hand to catch it, and a line of words appeared in the air:
When she goes to the demon world, there will be someone to pick her up and take her to Tianhun Pavilion.
Chi Ce knelt on one knee and said: "Farewell, Demon Lord." When he turned around, he saw Chu Caiwu sucking Yin Zhuo's blood. Although it was normal feeding, Chi Ce still felt a little uncomfortable.
Chi Ce interrupted, "Have you eaten enough? If you have, hurry to the demon world and I'll take you to Tianhun Pavilion."
Chu Caiwu stopped with a lingering feeling. She really couldn't delay her enrollment in Tianhun Pavilion. She had to learn many magical arts to replenish Yin Zhuo's magical power.
Yin Zhuo's face turned pale, but he didn't hesitate to get things done. He said, "I'll go back to Suiqingxuan, and you and her will go to the demon world. We'll meet up at Tianhun Pavilion in the end."
Chi Ce kicked the window open, pulled Chu Caiwu over and dragged her to the window.
Chu Caiwu looked at Yin Zhuo reluctantly. She didn't want to leave the food coupons for a moment. If possible, she wanted to sleep with the food coupons in her arms.
Chi Ce leaped into the air, his golden scales glittering. A giant dragon circled in the sky, carrying Chu Caiwu and flying to the demon world.
*Demon Tribe Border
Some people were wearing a whole pumpkin on their heads, some were wearing oversized lettuce leaves, and a crowd of people was bustling around the notice.
Chu Caiwu looked at the strange costumes, then looked at himself. Apart from the fennel leaves on his head, he didn't look like a demon at all.
A man stepped forward and read the notice: "In the Immortal Realm, all beings are equal. The Heavenly Soul Pavilion is recruiting two demons to enroll in the Heavenly Soul Pavilion."
Suddenly, Chi Ce pulled Chu Caiwu away from the crowd, followed the support all the way, and took the small path into the inner hall of the Demon King.
The demon king waved his hand and retreated immediately.
The demon king looked at Chu Caiwu and asked, "Are you from the demon tribe?"
Chu Caiwu also knew that he was not from the demon clan, so he said awkwardly: "To see the demon king, yes... yes."
Chu Caiwu was unusually polite this time because she valued this opportunity very much. She must enroll in Tianhun Pavilion, practice magic to protect herself, check blood slaves, and replenish Yin Zhuo's magic power.
Chi Ce also bowed and said, "Greetings to the Demon King."
The Demon King ignored Chi Ce. He hated the demon clan. The Demon Lord forced him to send the fennel essence to the Tianhun Pavilion, which wasted his opportunity to enter the demon clan and the fairy world.
The demon king waved his sleeves, and Chu Caiwu's human form disappeared and turned into a green... rapeseed.
Chu Caiwu only knew that he was beaten back to his original form, and he didn't know that he was now a rapeseed.
Chi Ce stared at Chu Caiwu. The leaves were full and translucent, and they looked delicious.
The demon king picked up Chu Caiwu and transformed a basin from his storage ring. He planted the rapeseed in the basin and said, "When the time comes, I will tell the outside world that the demon race complies with the principle of equality for all beings in the heavens and has specially sent the rapeseed essence to the Heavenly Soul Pavilion."
Chu Caiwu:???
With a loud bang, the door to the main hall was kicked open, and a woman with a peony on her hair rushed in aggressively: "Father, why should a rape spirit be allowed to go to the Heavenly Soul Pavilion with me?"
The demon king hesitated to speak. This was her precious daughter. It was originally planned that her daughter and a hibiscus fairy would enroll in Tianhun Pavilion together.
But her daughter acted on impulse, and the Demon Lord forced him, so he had to keep these things secret from her daughter.
When Chi Ce heard that the demon king's daughter was Peony, he wondered why they were so disrespectful to the demons and wanted to question them.
The demon king grabbed Chi Ce.
