Helping the Immortal Lord to Become a Demon (I)
Chapter 5
Even after Chu Caiwu turned back into a fennel plant, he continued to chatter, "Let me tell you, my demon blood is extremely useful."
Chu Caiwu imagined what Yin Zhuo would look like as the Demon Lord, and she could eat lots of crispy duck.
So, Chu Caiwu proudly offered advice: "If that Demon Lord dares to ask you to commit suicide, you can sprinkle my blood on him, and he will surely die. Then you can replace him..." Suddenly, Yin Zhuo interrupted Chu Caiwu.
Yin Zhuo said cautiously: "Miss Chu, the Demon Lord's spies are everywhere in the Demon Realm, so be careful with your words."
Chu Caiwu raised her fennel leaf and screamed, "Oh, yes... I'm sorry."
Yin Zhuo conjured up a teacup filled with Chu Caiwu's blood and said with relief, "Thank you, Miss Chu."
Chu Caiwu's heart leaped with joy. She was actually thanking her for her food source. She said, "I'm hungry. Just feed me with your blood. No need to thank me."
Yin Zhuo held the cup in his hand and inquired, "Why can Miss Chu recognize immortal power?"
Chu Caiwu was stunned. She recognized the immortal power because she relied on it to survive. Yin Zhuo had immortal power in his blood, but she had never dared to say it out loud.
Chu Caiwu covered it up and said, "Ah... this is different from the magic of the demon clan. Isn't it immortal power?"
Yin Zhuo was stunned by Chu Caiwu's question and looked at the pot of fennel in his arms again and again.
Yin Zhuo is not a demon, but has the blood of immortals. However, this is a secret that Yin Zhuo must never reveal to others, so Yin Zhuo often tries to keep things quiet.
Yin Zhuo changed the subject and said, "Chi Ce originally accompanied the Demon Lord to the Immortal Demon Banquet, so I guess it's normal for him to have some immortal power on him."
Chu Caiwu murmured, "No wonder he has so much immortal power."
Yin Zhuo frowned and asked, "Miss Chu, how much immortal power can you sense in others?"
Chu Caiwu came back to his senses and continued to cover up: "I am just a fennel spirit, how can I have such great power? When Chi Ce flew, his aura was exposed, so I could feel it."
After Chu Caiwu finished her string of words, she couldn't help but breathe deeply through her leaves, because Yin Zhuo was very strange and kept beating around the bush to get her to talk.
Chu Caiwu discovered that Yin Zhuo and she were talking to each other, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the Demon Palace.
The Demon Palace towers into the clouds and is very majestic. Although there is not much sunlight coming in, a golden dragon is hovering above the Demon Palace.
The golden dragon seemed to sprinkle a layer of gold powder on every corner around the Demon Palace, making it sparkle everywhere.
Chu Caiwu shook the fennel leaves, and the leaves just happened to brush against Yin Zhuo's neck. Yin Zhuo's neck was stimulated, and his Adam's apple slid. He asked, "Miss Chu, is there something wrong?"
Chu Caiwu hesitated and asked, "Is this golden dragon Chi Ce?"
Yin Zhuo nodded.
Chu Caiwu no longer hesitated and couldn't help asking, "Did Chi Ce sprinkle gold dust when he took off? Why wasn't there any golden light on the ground at the flower shop just now?"
Yin Zhuo gently shook the flowerpot and replied with a faint smile: "The golden light on the ground is maintained by Chi Ce's magic power. Of course, this kind of magic would not be used outside except in the Demon Palace."
A loud voice came from the sky, no longer the strange sound echoing back and forth, but the young man's crisp greeting: "Miss Chu, nice to meet you!"
Chu Caiwu was too lazy to talk to Chi Ce, so he waved his leaves left and right as a response.
Chu Caiwu did not hear Chi Ce's angry voice, and Chi Ce was much more well-behaved in the Demon Palace.
Yin Zhuo walked into the Demon Palace holding Chu Caiwu, and saw a handsome man sitting in the hall looking down at him.
Chu Caiwu suddenly fell silent and stopped shaking.
Yin Zhuo placed Chu Caiwu's flowerpot on the ground, and Chu Caiwu moved her leaves slightly to look at Yin Zhuo.
Yin Zhuo saluted the Demon Lord neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Inside the Demon Palace, apart from the sound of clothes rubbing against each other, it was very quiet.
The Demon Lord said, "Doesn't Demon Fennel know how to salute?"
Chu Caiwu's heart tightened, he held his breath and remained motionless.
The Demon Lord's name is Chi Xing. It was said that he had escaped from the Beast Trapping Tower in the Immortal Realm in his early years. His personality was different from those of the immortals. He did not act superior, but he was cruel enough to suppress a group of demon cultivators.
Chi Xing added, "If you were in the immortal world, you would be nothing more than a plate of boiled fennel."
Chu Caiwu was offended again. So what if she was a plate of boiled vegetables in the fairy world? She was always ridiculed maliciously by these people because her true form was fennel.
Chu Caiwu often just laughed off these malicious remarks and lay down for a long time, but his resentment and anger would not dissipate.
Yin Zhuo cupped his hands and said sternly, "I shouldn't have killed the demon cultivator. Please forgive me, Demon Lord."
Chi Xing sat back on the wolf-tooth chair and waved his hand. The guards around him retreated with great courtesy.
Chi Xing said straight to the point: "I like smart people, and you know I won't punish you."
Chu Caiwu stood aside, listening quietly to the conversation between the two, clenching the leaves tightly.
She didn't understand why Chi Xing now said that he would not punish Yin Zhuo.
Chi Xing added: "If I wanted to punish you, I wouldn't have kept you here until now."
Yin Zhuo's expression remained calm as he said, "What are your instructions, Lord Demon? I am willing to make amends."
Chi Xing: "Ruichen Immortal Lord was a beggar in Dingbei Town on earth, undergoing tribulations. You led him into demonism."
Chu Caiwu had heard of this Immortal Lord Ruichen, who had great immortal power and a handsome appearance. The immortals loved to praise him the most, and his reputation was well-known because he was willing to undergo trials and hardships. The fairy from the Temple of the God of Desolation liked him the most.
A sense of luck flashed through Chu Caiwu's heart. Fortunately, she was in fennel form now, otherwise she didn't know how to hold back her laughter. Immortal Lord Ruichen came to the world to be a beggar. These two words were completely unrelated.
If Chu Caiwu was an immortal or a fairy, she would not come down to the mortal world to gain experience. She doesn't even want to practice.
As Chu Caiwu was thinking, she found herself being carried out of the Demon Palace by Yin Zhuo.
Chu Caiwu's eyes sparkled as she asked, "Are we going to the human world now? I heard there are so many delicious foods there. Will there be magic stones to carry out the mission?"
Yin Zhuo said: "During the mission, there are all kinds of magic stones. One magic stone can be transformed into an ingot of gold in the human world. The money is definitely enough."
Chu Caiwu said excitedly: "Then I want to eat lots and lots of crispy duck!"
Yin Zhuo smiled and nodded.
Chu Caiwu moved the leaves away and stared at Yin Zhuo. She didn't expect Yin Zhuo to take on this task so readily. For the immortals, being possessed by demons is the most shameful thing for them.
Chu Caiwu asked doubtfully, "Have you figured out how to make Immortal Lord Ruichen possess the devil?"
Yin Zhuo said, "There are many methods, but they also vary depending on the person's personality. If his heart is determined to be immortal, we can only use extreme means to make him become a demon."
As for extreme measures, Chu Caiwu thought of starving Immortal Lord Ruichen for ten days, starving him to death, and then Immortal Lord Ruichen would become a demon out of anger, because she heard that in extreme cases, becoming a demon requires stimulation.
The further they flew, the colder it became. Chu Caiwu huddled up in a leaf, watching the snow falling all over the sky.
Dingbei Town is located in the north, at the border between countries. It snows all year round and is extremely cold, so there is almost no harvest of grain.
Chu Caiwu transformed into a human form and walked happily on the snow. From time to time, he blew away the snow that had fallen on his sleeves and exclaimed happily: "It's so beautiful here, and the snow is so beautiful!"
Yin Zhuo also caught a snowflake and said, "It is indeed beautiful, but I am afraid these people's lives must be difficult."
Chu Caiwu stopped blowing the snow and looked around. The people he saw were half-naked, unkempt, and their begging bowls were stacked together, as if they had been abandoned for a long time. Everyone looked at them in surprise.
The surrounding houses were almost collapsed, as if they were crushed by a giant beast. Chu Caiwu quickly thought of the scene where Chi Ce transformed into a giant dragon and had fun.
Chu Caiwu leaned close to Yin Zhuo's ear and whispered, "Could one of these old men be the Immortal Lord Ruichen?"
Yin Zhuo replied, "Although time moves faster in the human world, Immortal Lord Ruichen descended to the mortal world not long ago. By now, he should be a ten-year-old boy."
Chu Caiwu found that his guess was outrageous, so he stopped making random guesses.
Chu Caiwu found that her dress was being dragged and her sleeves were being pulled down. Looking back, she saw three half-naked old men, and there were a few beggars around them who were pouring out the snow in their bowls.
Yin Zhuo untied the pocket around his waist and handed the silver coins to them in an orderly manner. Unexpectedly, they were snatched by the crowd and the silver coins fell to the ground.
Chu Caiwu picked up the scattered silver coins and handed them to an old man in the corner, asking, "Grandpa, why don't you go home?"
The old man knelt down quickly, took the silver coins, and said with a sad smile: "We beggars don't have a home. Our houses are all collapsed, and we have no food. We might starve to death one day. Child, you don't look like someone who needs money. Your clothes are too thin."
After listening to what she heard, Chu Caiwu remembered what she had once heard the leader of the immortal clan say. The leader said that the demons were just like mortals, like ants.
Chu Caiwu could now actually see these people with sunken cheeks, and he couldn't help feeling sad. They were living people, they were lives, and they were never ants. Even ants were lives created by heaven and earth, so why did they have to be divided into high and low?
Chu Caiwu asked, "Grandpa, where are your children? Are all the people here going to starve?"
The old man said, "My son died in the battle a long time ago. Their children who could escape have already fled. Only old men like us are left in Dingbei Town. We can't escape, and we don't want to."
Chu Caiwu caught a glimpse of Yin Zhuo approaching and called out, "Come here."
Yin Zhuo took out a silver ingot from his waist and stuffed it into the old man's pocket. Yin Zhuo asked, "Are there any children in Dingnan Town?"
The old man replied, "There are four. Most of them have lost their fathers in the war, leaving them orphans and widows. Their situation is really difficult."
Chu Caiwu was delighted to see that Yin Zhuo also sympathized with these people, and she said sweetly, "Young Master, you are such a kind person!"
Yin Zhuo still had that cheerful and talkative look on his face.
Chu Caiwu suddenly realized that the purpose of Yin Zhuo's question was to find Immortal Lord Ruichen.
There were bursts of beating and screaming coming from the distance. The old man supported himself on the snow and got up, but slipped and fell on the ice again.
