Wolf Demon
Yu Heyi didn't react at all. She only felt the strong bitter taste in her mouth replaced by the sweetness of the candy. She was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes were fixed on Wanqi Si.
Wanqi Si turned his head away uncomfortably: "Don't be so self-indulgent. If that old man hadn't insisted on me coming, and hadn't played that childish trick of threatening my life, I wouldn't have..."
Yu Heyi suddenly curled up the corners of his lips and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Senior Brother."
"The candies my senior brother gave me are supposed to be sweeter than ordinary candies."
"Smooth talk."
His tone remained cold. After glancing at the girl's smiling face, he immediately turned around and walked away.
"Senior brother also has embarrassing moments." Yu Heyi chuckled and said to himself.
After watching him leave, she sat on the edge of the couch with her arms folded, recalling her conversation with Qi Shouchu today.
She knew that the secret realm was in Yuquan Sect, but it required three keys to open it, and none of them could be missing.
In the past, it would have been no problem for her to break into the sect alone and challenge the twelve sect masters to rob them. But now, with her current strength, she couldn't even defeat Wanqi Si, let alone the sect master.
What’s more, there are three sect leaders.
If you can't grab the key, you can only wait until next winter to participate in the sect competition.
She can afford to wait, and the demon world can afford to wait for the time being, but the key is that she is a demon and her spiritual power is almost zero. The spiritual power in her body is borrowed from the immortal bones in the original body.
It is impossible that all the immortals are good-for-nothings. Only the top ten in the competition can be qualified to enter the secret realm, which means that she still has to use the immortal bones in her original body to absorb spiritual power to practice immortal magic.
It's ridiculous.
Perhaps she could use her identity as Taiyan's disciple to steal the key. Thinking of this, Wanqi Si's figure flashed through her mind, and she was immediately troubled.
If he wanted to steal the key from the three sect masters, he would not only have to worry about being discovered by the sect masters, but also have to be wary of Wanqi Si.
This guy seemed to have eyes on him, fearing that she would have bad intentions and do something harmful.
She had never met the three sect leaders before and was not sure about their strengths, so it seemed she had to make some careful plans.
It snows in winter and everything is covered in silver.
Yu Heyi suddenly smelled a demonic aura. Following the direction of the aura, they saw many Taiyan disciples gathered together, shouting loudly.
Only by getting closer to the crowd can you hear the conversation clearly.
"Qi Zhixing is so amazing! He captured a wolf demon with just one move!"
"If you ask me, she has to be the clan leader's daughter. She has the demeanor of a clan leader at such a young age."
"It's really heartwarming. Qi Zhixing truly cares about the people and is a role model for everyone."
“…”
She followed their gaze and saw a wolf demon lying in the middle of the crowd. It was covered in a large net, with scars all over its body and shocking bloodstains. There were also a few black stones scattered around it.
The woman standing next to the wolf demon was none other than Qi Zhixing, the daughter of the clan leader who had recently harassed her with a soft sword.
Many people in the crowd praised her achievements in catching monsters, and she accepted everyone's praise proudly.
Qi Zhixing said in a clear voice, "Thank you all, but it is my duty to slay demons and monsters. This is what I should do. Now I will lock this monster in the immortal prison. Once it confesses its crimes, I will put an end to it with my own hands!"
Someone in the crowd immediately praised her: "Qi Zhixing is beautiful, kind-hearted, and humble!!"
The wolf demon raised his eyelids and glanced at the crowd around him, his eyes full of despair.
Yu Heyi lowered his eyes and quietly left the crowd.
She knew this wolf demon.
Although it was a demon, it never killed innocent people. When she ascended to the throne of the Demon Lord and took control of the demon world, it loyally surrendered to her.
The wolf demon said that the previous demon king was ruthless and bloodthirsty. The entire demon clan lived in fear, fearing that if they angered the demon king, they would end up with their souls torn apart.
After Yu Heyi came to power, the first thing she said was that you can do whatever you want, she only has two rules.
1. You must not kill or set fire to people, and you must not treat human lives as worthless.
Second, don’t bother her anymore.
Many demons, thanks to her rise to power, no longer lived in fear, and so obeyed her orders. If she didn't allow them to kill, they would stay in the demon realm, occasionally visiting the demon realm.
Somehow I was caught by Qi Zhixing today.
She grabbed the corner of someone's clothes at random from the crowd and asked, "My fellow immortal, what is the immortal prison like?"
"You've asked the right person. The Immortal Prison is arguably the most terrifying place in the entire Immortal Realm. The tortures there are enough to kill people! Usually, only demons and fellow disciples who have committed egregious offenses are imprisoned there. Once inside, there's no way out. Anyone who gets close to the Immortal Prison can hear the wailing within; it's truly miserable."
The fellow disciple whose clothes she held didn't take his eyes off Qi Zhixing at first, but when he accidentally saw the face of the girl asking the question, he stared at her intently.
He had originally thought that the Sect Master's daughter was a truly stunning beauty, a rare and unrivaled beauty within the Taiyan Sect. Indeed, the Taiyan Sect was the leader of the twelve sects, and its disciples, both male and female, were so focused on their cultivation that they neglected to care for their appearance.
Qi Zhixing has a beautiful and elegant face, and her eyebrows reveal a sense of unruliness, which is very natural. The only flaw is that her tone and expression are always condescending, which makes people feel disgusted.
But the girl in front of her was completely different from her. She had curved eyebrows, a pair of peach blossom eyes, a high nose bridge, red lips without any lipstick, and long black hair lightly draped over her shoulders.
She was wearing a simple and elegant dress with a faint smile on her face, which further highlighted her unparalleled beauty and made people unable to take their eyes off her.
The girl, who was incredibly beautiful in his eyes, spoke up: "This immortal prison is too scary. Could you please tell me where it is so I can stay away from it?"
"The Immortal Prison is located behind a huge rock halfway up Yuqing Mountain. May I ask what your name is? My name is Chu Dong. If you're afraid, I'm willing to escort you daily."
"Behind the huge rock halfway up Yuqing Mountain... No need, goodbye!"
After asking about the location of the Immortal Prison, she left the crowd without looking back. Chu Dong remembered that he hadn't even asked her name, and hurried to follow her, but she was no longer there.
He walked back dejectedly, and suddenly remembered something.
This is Taiyan Sect. Since that beauty appears here, she must be a disciple of Taiyan.
Since we live in the same place, we will meet again sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Chu Dong was in a good mood and left humming a song.
At night, the moon is bright, the stars are sparse, and the breeze is blowing gently.
It was already midnight, Yuqing Mountain was quiet, and most of the disciples had already rested.
Therefore, no one noticed that a figure was sneaking up in front of a huge rock halfway up the mountain. Yu Heyi, wearing a thin cloak, appeared there.
Fortunately, Yuqing Mountain was not as cold as the human world, so she didn't shiver with cold.
Before she could even think of a plan to steal the key, she had already launched a rescue plan. She didn't even know if what her immortal friend said was true or not, or if there were any disciples guarding the immortal prison or if there were any ambushes.
Although it was a bit reckless, the wolf demon was loyal to her and she couldn't just stand by and watch it die.
Yu Heyi used his fingers to comb his hair that was messed up by the wind, held his breath, and walked quietly behind the boulder.
As Chu Dong said, behind the boulder was a vast pool with many chains thicker than thighs hanging on it. The chains were attached with spiritual power, and no matter whether the imprisoned demons or immortals could release the spiritual power.
The reason is simple: the water in the pool restrains all the prisoner's strength.
She called softly, "Yue Bo."
Hearing her voice, a wolf head slowly emerged from the pool, its two eyes looking at her warily.
"Yuebo, how were you arrested? Did Qi Zhixing go to the demon world?"
She squatted by the pool, condensed a faint demonic energy at her fingertips, and tapped it on the wolf demon's head.
The demonic energy was so weak that it was difficult to detect. In addition, her fellow disciples were resting late at night, and she had set up a restriction at the door when she entered the immortal prison. No one could discover that she was using demonic energy to heal the wolf demon at this time.
Sensing a familiar breath, the wolf demon's eyes turned red, and tears as big as beans fell on the water, creating ripples.
"Demon Lord, why are you here?"
"You're already grown up, why are you still crying like a baby?"
"Demon Lord... I always remember what you said. I didn't go to the human world to do evil. I just..."
"Just what?"
The wolf demon was so badly injured that he couldn't even transform. Yu Heyi touched his head with pity.
"The snacks the flower demon brought back from the human world last time were so delicious that when I went to ask her for them, she had already eaten them. I craved them for five days and five nights, and finally decided to sneak back to the human world to eat some snacks. I didn't intend to steal the snacks from the human race. I brought a lot of rare treasures from our demon world and wanted to exchange them with the human who sold the snacks."
Hearing this, she remembered the black stones scattered on the ground when she saw it being captured during the day.
It was the only gem in the demon world, and for demons, it was a treasure. The wolf demon, just to enjoy his taste buds, actually wanted to exchange such a precious thing for it.
The wolf demon's voice became increasingly aggrieved. "I had just found a snack shop in the human world when that female fairy stabbed me with a sword. The flower demon didn't tell me I'd be stabbed for buying snacks. I could have beaten her, but the Demon Lord said we shouldn't hurt anyone, especially in the human world. It would scare them, so I didn't fight back. I wanted to run, but she threw a demon-catching net at me. It was so painful that it peeled my skin and pulled my cramps, so I was captured by her."
He lowered his head, not daring to look up: "Demon Lord, have I caused you any trouble?"
"No."
The demonic energy that entered the wolf demon's body healed most of its wounds. Yu Heyi turned his wrist and borrowed spiritual power from the immortal bone in his body again.
Although the spiritual power borrowed was pitifully small, at least the chains were removed from the wolf demon.
"Is there anyone else here?"
"When I was imprisoned, there was no one else except a few skeletons at the bottom of the pool."
She struggled to pull the wolf demon out of the pool. Its fur was soaked in water and felt heavy, and it took a lot of effort.
The wolf demon shook off the water droplets on his body in a panic, only to find that Yu Heyi was pale and sitting on the ground.
After borrowing spiritual energy from the Immortal Bone in Xiyuan Village, she was exhausted and fell into a coma for three days. After waking up, she borrowed spiritual energy from the Immortal Bone again. At this time, she was very weak.
"Your Majesty, why are you here? Whose body is this?" Seeing how weak she was, the wolf demon rested his head against her back to prevent her from falling. "I've almost recovered. I'll take you back to the Demon Realm."
Yu Heyi forced himself to stand up and shook his head, saying, "Don't mention my presence in the Immortal Realm to anyone. Just pretend that what happened today never happened. Leave here immediately."
Although the wolf demon was confused, he did not dare to question her words.
"I will make Qi Zhixing return the injuries she caused you. As for the snack you want to eat, what's its name?"
“…Osmanthus cake.”
