Although they were so close, it seemed as if there were thousands of mountains and rivers between them. Her cold words suddenly froze the turbulent waves in his heart, like a fishbone stuck in his throat, choking him and making him speechless.

He clearly wanted to reach out his hand, but he could only let it fall silently. The moonlight shone through the window, casting a cold light on the ground. Ming Ye's handsome figure slowly merged into the darkness, as if he had never appeared.

Jiuxi turned around silently, looked at the endless darkness, and sighed softly, "You are just impatient."

At this moment, Ming Ye frowned as he looked at the man in white clothes opposite him. His handsome face became more majestic. He said, "The Demon King is interested in her."

Bai Yao noticed it when he just entered, but Ming Ye still glared at the Demon King coldly, without any intention of retreat in his eyes, but instead with a hint of sarcasm.

Bai Yao shook his head and speculated, "It's not a fairy, nor does it have demonic aura, and it's certainly not a ghost..."

A terrible thought gradually formed in Bai Yao's mind. Could it be... a corpse?

It would be fine if it was the drought demon, but the man in front of Bai Yao clearly gave her a very dangerous feeling, unfathomable.

Ming Ye quickly rushed to Bai Yao's side, his thin lips curled slightly, his eyes full of murderous intent, "You actually want to wash away her immortal marrow and become a demon with you?"

If he hadn't arrived in time today, Jiuxi would have been in great trouble.

Although Bai Yao was suppressed by Ming Ye's spiritual power to the point that veins popped out of his forehead, he still gritted his teeth and smiled weakly, "So what if it is, so what if it isn't?"

On the one hand, he built the Yuhua Pool because he liked bathing in it, and on the other hand, the water in the pool could be used to cultivate demonic marrow. Although the brush acted on the surface of the skin, the poison would slowly hide in the skin. Combined with the medicine, it could completely wash away Jiuxi's immortal marrow and turn him into a monster.

"Heh...you dare to touch her?"

The starry sky reflected in Mingye's eyes, and gradually, streams of light poured out. He punched Baiyao in the chest. Even with his bare hands, Baiyao had no ability to resist. His body slowly bent down. Baiyao covered his chest, but the tearing pain still came from his heart and lungs. Blood slowly flowed from his lips and teeth. Baiyao said, "What...qualifies you to question this king!"

Bai Yao's stubborn look made Ming Ye dazed for a moment. Then Ming Ye looked at Bai Yao with a frown on his face, and said in surprise, "The demon pill...is not in your body!"

Baiyao coughed violently, each cough mixed with bloody phlegm, but Baiyao still managed to steady herself and said, "It turns out that your goal is the same as hers."

All for her inner elixir.

Mingye was about to threaten Baiyao again, but at this moment, a frail figure blocked Baiyao's way. Jiuxi seemed to have come in a hurry, not even wearing proper clothes. She stood barefoot on the ground, her phoenix eyes flashing with the coldest light in the world. She said, "I...was willing to become a demon."

After saying this, not only Ming Ye was stunned, but even Bai Yao paused. He forcefully turned her body over, with a hint of excitement in his eyes, and asked, "Are you really willing?"

In order to trick the Demon King out of his inner elixir, Jiuxi could only bite the bullet and say, "What's so good about being an immortal? You're bound by immortal rules every day. Being a demon is so much better. You can do whatever you want! It's so free!"

Mingye grabbed Jiuxi's hand and said in disbelief, "Are you serious? You really want to stay in the demon world!"

His eyes were filled with broken stars, as if all the stars in the sky were rubbed into his eyes. He looked so out of control and it was so heartbreaking.
