Looking at Bu Yao, who possessed both strength and gentleness, Jiang Yuan hesitated for a long time before finally revealing his purpose: "My body has recovered somewhat, so I plan to leave within a month!"
He needs to become stronger, but staying in the Blue Hidden Divine Mountain offers no opportunity to do so.
"Are you leaving already?" Bu Yao felt a sense of emptiness. She had gotten used to living with Jiang Yuan and Xiao Xiao, so hearing Jiang Yuan say this made her feel a little lost.
"My body can only recover to this extent!"
Jiang Yuan was well aware of his physical condition. When Ning Yanlan secretly used the Heavenly Soul and Holy Blood to revive him, she only wanted him to live the rest of his life as an ordinary person. Even with the Heavenly Soul and the Five-Colored Divine Stone from Kunlun Immortal Ruins, it was impossible to revive someone who had lost their physical body and most of their soul in their peak condition.
However, Ning Yanlan did not expect that he would kill the Demon Lord and take over his body.
"So where are you planning to go next?" Bu Yao shook her head, trying to shake off those unrealistic thoughts. She kept telling herself that her relationship with Jiang Yuan was just an accident and there was no true love, but in fact, after spending so much time together, their feelings for each other had undergone some subtle changes.
"Go back to the human world!"
Jiang Yuan thanked Bu Yao and Lord Xingwen for their help, but this did not mean he would change his stance. He was irreconcilably opposed to the Holy Spirit Clan and the Demon Spirit Clan, and returning to the human world was the only option.
“But now you are a demon spirit, can you still integrate into the human world? Moreover, your soul is often unstable. If you leave the sacred aura of the divine mountain, I am afraid you will fall into demonic possession again,” Bu Yao asked in a daze.
Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow I will be able to pass on all the demon god bloodline to Xiao Xiao and grind off the demon god horn. As long as I don't act too high-profile, no one will know! As for becoming a demon, my condition has been steadily improving recently. As long as I can control myself, there shouldn't be any major problems."
“But in the past five years, human development has been very rapid, and humans have combined technology with spiritual power to create many things that the Holy Spirit Clan has never had before. I’m afraid you won’t be able to adapt when you go back!” Bu Yao picked up the plate in her hand and put it down again and again.
“I’m worried about you. Why don’t you come live with me in the human world? You won’t have to hide in this secluded rock peak, spending your days in loneliness and desolation!” Jiang Yuan asked.
"I?"
Bu Yao was lost in thought after hearing this, then shook her head and said, "Humans now have ways to identify bloodlines, so it would be easy for me to be discovered if I went! Besides, I have to take care of Xiao Xiao!"
"Bu Yao!" Jiang Yuan squatted down and grabbed Bu Yao's hand, saying with a hint of guilt, "I didn't know that what happened back then would have such a big impact on you. Not only did you lose your status as a saintess, but now you also have to take care of Xiao Xiao with all your heart. I will do my best to make it up to you!"
“Since we’ve chosen to leave, let’s not get too close!” Bu Yao pulled her hand back and took two steps back.
Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and said, "If one day I can appear in my true form, I will come to take you and Xiao Xiao to live among the humans!"
He couldn't face Bu Yao and Xiao Xiao in this inhuman state, and he didn't want to recognize Xiao Xiao with the face of a demon lord, nor did he want to be with Bu Yao in the body of a demon lord.
This is also why he hasn't touched Bu Yao once in the past five years. He is Jiang Yuan, and no other identity can replace him. Even if something happens between him and Bu Yao in the future, it will still be his true self.
However, restoring his original body was no easy task. Over the past five years, he had only managed to slightly adjust his physical body by thirty percent thanks to the restoration of his soul. Although he retained some resemblance to his former body, he still primarily resembled the Demon Lord. He even possessed the unique characteristics of the Demon Spirit Clan, such as the horns on his head, the demon god totem between his brows, and the demon god patterns within his flesh and bones.
"Wait another five years? Or ten years! Or even fifty years!" Bu Yao said, shaking her head.
Jiang Yuan fell silent. He had lost too much in the battle of Nancheng. Various inheritances and techniques were destroyed. His abilities were shattered, and even his most relied-upon Heavenly Eye was gone. It would be very difficult for him to stand out from the crowd as before.
"Forget it, our relationship is just a fleeting one anyway, I don't care!"
Bu Yao didn't want to talk about the future, so she changed the subject: "If you want to leave, you can only do so during the Divine Mountain Exchange Conference in three weeks. I will ask my old friends to register you then. Once you leave the Divine Mountain, you can return to the human territory!"
"Before I leave, I want to help you regain your position as a saintess!" Jiang Yuan said earnestly.
"Are you stupid? Your daughter is already five years old. How can I become a saintess?" Bu Yao said irritably. All the saintesses of the sacred mountain are virgins. She had never heard of someone who could become a saintess after losing their virginity.
"What if you obtain the Holy Divine Vein?"
