Thinking about all this, Feng Rong felt something inexplicably breaking his heart apart, like pieces of a broken heart that couldn't be swept up. But he didn't dare ask, afraid that if he did, it would be the truth.
Until two warm hands suddenly reached out to his face and lifted his large flower plate.
"What are you thinking about?!" Youyou rubbed his face and looked seriously at his conflicted eyes, which were almost burying themselves in his own thoughts. "My relationship with Father Yuan is indeed different from yours, but to me he is family, a friend, and even more so... a sister."
After regaining her memories, she did remember many things, and her heart leaned more towards Yuan Qi. However, that was because of the trust between family members. In her heart, he would always be the Ling-jie (elder sister) who had always embraced and protected her since birth. Therefore, there could never be any romantic feelings between them.
"I have regained my memories, but I haven't been reincarnated, nor have I become a different person." You Youjia looked at him seriously and said, word by word, "In this life, I've only had one relationship with Feng Rong, and no one else. Before you ask me if I'm still You You, ask yourself first... are you still Feng Rong?"
"..."
No one else?!
He paused for a moment, as if he had figured something out. The entanglement in his eyes gradually melted away, and a huge joy burst forth. Even the row of small melon seeds around the flower plate popped open with a series of red pops.
Nodding vigorously, she shouted impatiently, "I am! I am! Of course I am!" As if to increase credibility, the stunning face in the flower plate transformed back into Feng Rong's appearance.
The entire sunflower spread out all its leaves and rushed towards Youyou.
"Wait, your pot..." Before Youyou could react, he tackled her to the ground, pot and all. "Fengrong, stop messing around and let me go."
"No!" The person was particularly good at pushing their luck, and instantly became excited, not only refusing to let go but also holding on even tighter.
"No, don't you have any idea how prickly your leaves are?"
"Then what do you think of a sycamore leaf if I become a different kind of leaf?"
"...That's enough." Is the leaf the point? Have you forgotten you're a person... no, a bird... no, not a sunflower, and a mutated one at that.
"Anyway, I'm not letting you go. You did that to me in the Demon Realm... don't you want to take responsibility?"
"What do you mean, 'like that'? Don't talk nonsense!"
"Fine, I'll take responsibility for you then!"
"Feng Rong!"
"What do you think about getting married tomorrow?"
"..."
Just as Youyou was about to lift the wig from her body, a hurried shout came from outside.
"Sect Master, it's urgent..." Ling Qi suddenly rushed in, but froze at the doorway, staring in shock at the man and the pot tangled together on the ground.
The two were startled, and Feng Rong was so shocked that she reverted to human form.
Ling Qi glanced at You You, then at Feng Rong, and suddenly seemed to understand something. "I'm sorry to bother you!" He bowed, turned and left decisively, closing the door behind him.
The two: "..."
Only when he was far away from the study did Ling Qi look up at the sky and let out a long sigh.
Sigh, I didn't expect the sect leader to have such a heavy taste after his trip to the Demon Realm, even playing with transformations. Is he too busy to keep up? He really should take a break.
————————
Since speaking out, Feng Rong has never reverted to his demonic form. As if to demonstrate his resolve, he not only suppressed all demonic energy but also occasionally released wisps of divine power belonging to the Phoenix Clan. Given that his body is that of a Phoenix, he appeared no different from before.
The disciples of the True Path Sect were overjoyed by Feng Rong's return. Although they all knew he was the same demon god from before, his current appearance made him seem much more approachable. They even asked him for nuts and melon seeds much more naturally.
Feng Rong, perhaps because she had finally resolved her inner conflict, was surprisingly easy to talk to and actually agreed. From time to time, she would go to the back mountain to cook a few batches for the disciples and share them.
The resentment and tangled emotions within him disappeared, but he clung to Youyou even more tightly, and would occasionally argue with Yuan Qi, completely transforming back into the irritated little turkey he used to be.
Yuan's father, on the other hand, used to always smile gently and completely ignore Feng Rong's provocations. But after learning that he was a demon god, he showed no intention of hiding his disdain and refused to give an inch. Although he was still smiling, every word he said left Feng Rong speechless, and she was furious but helpless.
Youyou felt a bit of a headache and decided to ignore the war between the men, as long as it didn't break out.
"Sect Master, my ancestor has replied." Ling Qi reported earnestly, "He has personally gone to check the various heavens with the Second Heaven Emperor and the Fourth Heaven Emperor, and they have indeed found the same heavenly light, but it is all within the territory of the First Heaven."
"What about the other Heavenly Realms? Are they only found in the First Heaven and the Demon Realm? What about the Heavenly Sacred Mountain and the God Realm?" You You frowned and continued to ask.
Three days ago, the Demon King sent a message saying that a strange light had appeared in the sky above the Demon Realm, continuing day and night. The light was very strange; it looked like a colorful mist, but it was very regular, as if it was forming a circle, which circled around most of the Demon Realm.
No matter how the Demon King investigated, he could only find nothing above him. He couldn't figure out the origin of the light, nor was it spiritual energy, demonic energy, or even any kind of power.
The Demon King didn't pay much attention at first, until the sunlight became increasingly intense, as if it were about to fall from the sky, and the ground began to change. Wherever the sunlight shone, the earth shook violently, and even high-ranking demons dared not linger there for fear of being buried alive.
You You and Feng Rongyuan went to see it in person, and from the light of the sky, they sensed a faint aura of the River Styx. Although it was very faint, as if it could dissipate at any time, it was indeed the River Styx.
She immediately connected the dots to the Six Realms Rift, and upon closer inspection, the location of the light was exactly the same as the rift. So she notified the Six Realms to go to the borders and see if the same light had appeared. Sure enough, the Immortal Realm had it too.
“This situation doesn’t exist in the God Realm or Heavenly Sacred Mountain,” Ling Qi said, shaking his head.
"That's strange..." Youyou couldn't understand. She originally thought that the light from the sky was a sign of the cracks widening, but it was obvious that the cracks in the God Realm and the Demon Realm were more severe. Why did they appear in the Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm first?
"Oh, right!" Ling Qi remembered something and handed over the paper in his hand, saying, "Sect Master, the communication talisman you used in the Demon Realm last time suddenly reacted. This is a message from a woman named Gong Xi that I asked you to give to the Sect Master."
"Gong Xi!" You You was taken aback. To maintain contact, she had indeed given Gong Xi a communication talisman before, which was originally unusable outside the Demon Realm. However, since she had drawn the talisman herself, it could be used within the Six Realms after her power awakened. Gong Xi probably thought she was still in the Demon God's Palace, which was why she contacted her.
She unfolded the paper and looked at it, then her eyes widened suddenly, and she stood up abruptly.
"The dragons have vanished!"
