The Demon Child Appears
An Luoyi's consciousness was about to dissipate, and no matter how hard Mu Qianyu tried, it was impossible to remedy the situation. Yunti and Fang Jinghe tried to pass on their skills to Mu Qianyu, but the three of them worked together and it was still no use.
Earlier, Mu Qianyu sent a message to Xian Youlin asking him to come back, but Xian Youlin refused. Now, even if she wanted to rescue him, there was no way...
A powerful burst of spiritual energy repelled the three of them. Yunti, ignoring the backlash, climbed up and ran to his sister's bedside. Mu Qianyu and Fang Jinghe looked gloomy, and tears welled up in Yunti's eyes. Just as they were about to fall, An Luoyi opened his eyes! At the same time, Xian Youlin transformed from white smoke into the room!
Yunti's originally sad tears turned into tears of joy. She hugged An Luoyi's neck with great emotion: "Sister, you are back!"
An Luoyi was dizzy from the intense hug, but she soon recovered and patted Yunti on the back: "Sorry, sister is back."
Mu Qianyu was also very surprised. She couldn't help but blame him and said, "Xiaoyi, you really scared us to death."
Seeing that both of them were safe and sound, Fang Jinghe laughed heartily. He patted Xian Youlin's shoulder and gave him a look: "Brother, good job!"
Xian Youlin watched the two sisters slowly smile, it was really great...
An Luoyi took out a phoenix feather, and Yunti asked in confusion, "What is this?"
An Luoyi said: "This is my mother's natal Phoenix feather. We Phoenix Clan all have our own natal Phoenix feather. It is the root of our immortal power."
"Do I have one too?" Yunti asked.
"Of course, you are also a phoenix." An Luoyi said, "Thanks to my mother's phoenix feathers that continuously supply me with strength, I was able to escape the predicament of the nightmare demon."
"I see. The Nine Heavens are now in disarray. What should we do next?" Now that An Luoyi has awakened, it is imperative to lead the fairy world.
When mentioning this matter, An Luoyi still felt reluctant. After going through this, she no longer had any interest in the position of Immortal Lord.
"I will arrange the internal affairs of the fairyland. Now there is something more important." An Luoyi said.
"What?" Ladder.
"A trace of my mother's consciousness remains on the phoenix feather. She hopes that we can send her home...the home she built with my father." An Luoyi said in a low voice.
Yunti felt depressed. She said, "Since this is the case, we must fulfill our mother's last wish."
Mu Qianyu was worried: "The new Immortal Lord needs to hold a succession ceremony. What will happen if you go to the succession ceremony?"
An Luoyi frowned and said, "Filial piety for three years, we will discuss it later."
Mu Qianyu understood what An Luoyi was thinking and said, "Okay."
"Then when do we set off?" Fang Jinghe asked.
"We?" An Luoyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Fang Jinghe.
Fang Jinghe took a step forward and held his head high. "Of course. I'm deeply attached to Yunti and can't be separated for even a moment. Besides, don't you plan to take Brother Xian with you?"
Yunti's mind was filled with alarm bells, and he angrily said, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of my sister?"
Fang Jinghe was ordered to shut up. An Luoyi looked at the two of them strangely and said, "Whatever you say."
Only Mu Qianyu noticed that An Luoyi never even glanced at Xian Youlin from beginning to end, and this person pretended to be so emotionless.
At night, Xian Youlin went back to his room early to rest. He and An Luoyi slept next to each other. It happened that when he entered the room, he met An Luoyi going out. The two met and no one spoke.
An Luoyi was feeling bored, so he went to the pavilion to admire the moon, and Mu Qianyu came uninvited.
"You had a conflict with Xian Youlin?"
"No."
"Why don't you dare look at him without me?"
“…” An Luoyi was speechless.
"What are you afraid of?" Mu Qianyu's sharp eyes made people shudder.
An Luoyi thought for a long time and didn't know how to start...
Mu Qianyu seemed to see her dilemma: "Is there anything between you and me that cannot be discussed? Perhaps I can help you resolve your problem."
"The White Phoenix Clan has strict rules, and the elders will not agree to love between outsiders. If we don't handle it properly, our ending will be like our parents..." An Luoyi said bitterly.
"So you are afraid of this. The An Luoyi I know is brave and fearless and there is nothing he cannot solve. Being timid is not suitable for you." Mu Qianyu said, holding An Luoyi's shoulders.
An Luoyi folded his hands on his shoulders and spoke with a touch of sadness: "When you grow up, you always have to learn to take on a lot of things."
Mu Qianyu's eyes were filled with heartache. "Just do whatever you want. Before her death, the Immortal Lord said she didn't want you to repeat her fate. I think she wants you to fight for it. If you can change the ancient precepts, the Immortal Lord can prove her innocence."
"..." An Luoyi looked at the moon in silence. Mu Qianyu had no idea what she was thinking.
Mu Qianyu sighed deeply and said, "You two are like an iceberg colliding with snow. You can't even make a sound after hitting it."
A bright full moon was reflected on the lake, and two figures snuggled together under the moonlight.
"These days I've been either busy with clan affairs or taking care of my sister, and I haven't cared about you. How...how are you?" An Luoyi asked in a troubled tone, leaning in Fang Jinghe's arms.
"What?" Fang Jinghe held the ladder.
"It's...about your father." Yunti hesitated.
Fang Jinghe was in a depressed mood: "I went to see him... Maybe the Immortal Lord only wanted to let him go through reincarnation and not become an immortal for your sake."
"Do you regret it?"
"There's nothing to regret. If you make a mistake, you have to take responsibility..."
Fang Jinghe looked a little lonely. Yunti held his hand tightly, interlocking their fingers. "None of this has anything to do with you. I like your kindness and integrity. Since he doesn't love you, let me love you from now on."
It is not difficult for Yunti to see that Fang Jinghe is a loveless and lonely person. He always disguises himself as naughty. In fact, all he wants is love. She has nothing to give Fang Jinghe, but this little love she wants to give him.
Fang Jinghe's eyes were filled with tears and his heart was filled with emotion. He was very happy now... The moonlight cast a shadow of two people hugging each other tightly on the ground.
An Luoyi returned to her room in the second half of the night. She did not lie down with her clothes on, but tossed and turned after lying for a while. It seemed that she could not sleep... An Luoyi simply got up and meditated.
Mu Qianyu passed a secret message to Xian Youlin, which was considered as a request from someone. The secret message told Xian Youlin An Luoyi's thoughts. Xian Youlin held the note tightly and could not tell whether he was happy or sad.
The four of them set out together again. Yunti and Fang Jinghe had seen the little house in their memories, and relying on this memory, they journeyed to the border between the Nine Heavens and the human world. Because they were unsure of the location, they didn't fly on the clouds. Yunti's current cultivation level wasn't high enough, so An Luoyi and Fang Jinghe took turns teaching him techniques during their nighttime rest.
Beside the fire, Yunti summoned the "White Ying" and "Green Face" swords, and An Luoyi was teaching her the mental techniques and sword moves. Seeing her empty-handed, Xian Youlin subconsciously touched the chain sword at his waist. Since refining this weapon, he had never had the opportunity to use it, and now he didn't know when he would be able to use it again.
Fang Jinghe had been observing Xian Youlin's gloomy mood these days. He approached Xian Youlin and asked, "What's going on between you and An Luoyi? Are you having a fight?"
Xian Youlin glanced at him and said, "It has nothing to do with you."
Fang Jinghe approached shamelessly: "Talk to your brother, I can give you some advice."
Xian Youlin looked at Fang Jinghe with suspicion: "Forget it."
Fang Jinghe snorted, "Good intentions don't go unrewarded."
Yunti finished her sword moves, and Anluoyi pointed out any inaccuracies in her movements with a branch. She carefully observed them before saying, "Very good."
Yunti received his sister's approval and performed a set of sword moves smoothly. Before An Luoyi could comment, Fang Jinghe came running over and cheered, "You're so cool, Yunti! You're awesome!"
"My sister hasn't spoken yet." Yunti said shyly after being praised.
An Luoyi chuckled: "Well done."
"See, I told you so! Even the usually strict An Luoyi praised you." Fang Jinghe pinched Yunti's armpits, picked her up and spun her around.
Yunti said in panic: "Put me down quickly."
An Luoyi shook his head helplessly and returned to sit in front of the fire. Xian Youlin handed him a kettle and said, "Drink some water and take a rest."
An Luoyi took the kettle and said, "Thank you."
"There's no need to be polite between you and me." Xian Youlin said calmly.
"Yeah." An Luoyi replied coldly.
The four of them walked for several days and arrived at the border. "This is it, this is it," said Yunti.
An Luoyi looked around and saw that the place was beautiful with green mountains and clear water, and the water was gurgling. It was indeed a great place to live in seclusion.
"Go this way." Fang Jinghe led the three people to a winding path.
After they walked for a while, a dilapidated house came into view. Most of the wooden house had been eroded by time, and only a few traces of the fight twenty years ago could be seen.
Only the ruins of the door of the wooden house were left, and it would squeak if the wind blew through it. The footsteps of the four people entering the house raised thick dust, and An Luoyi covered his mouth and nose with his hands and fanned himself.
"Ahem, there's such thick dust. It looks like no one has been here for a long time." Fang Jinghe said while choking.
"Look!" The ladder pointed in one direction.
A skeleton sat upright on the ground. An Luoyi seemed drawn to it, reaching out to touch it. A black aura, resembling a small insect, crawled up from the skeleton's back. Xian Youlin, alarmed, opened her iron fan and sent her flying back. Yunti caught her sister, and when they looked up, they saw the small black insect scurry into Xian Youlin's body at lightning speed! With a clang, the black iron fan fell to the ground, and Xian Youlin collapsed gracefully.
An Luoyi suddenly stood up and hugged him. They both fell to the ground. An Luoyi nervously shouted, "Xian Youlin!"
Yunti and Fang Jinghe quickly approached the two of them, "What's wrong?"
The black energy dissipated, and the white bones that had been sitting upright suddenly scattered to the ground. Fang Jinghe exclaimed, "Isn't this the skeleton of Chong Sheng, the young master of the Demon Realm?"
Yunti glanced at him: "How do you know?"
"In the memories of the Nightmare Butterfly, I, who was possessed by Chong Sheng, saw him return here when he was desperate." Fang Jinghe said.
"I didn't expect that father and mother had the same idea." Yunti said worriedly.
An Luoyi was also very shocked. This turned out to be his father's skeleton, but why was there black energy condensed on his father's bones?
The three of them placed Xian Youlin on the old couch in the house. An Luoyi looked at him worriedly: "What is the origin of this black energy that is so powerful?"
With a "clang", the strong wind blew away the already broken wooden door, and a powerful pressure was approaching step by step.
An Luoyi and the other two immediately rushed out the door. She shouted sternly, "Who are you, master? Show yourself immediately!"
A thick black mist descended, and a man walked out of the black fog.
Yunti and Anluoyi exclaimed at the same time.
"The Crown Prince of Qingli Kingdom!"
"Futan!"
Yunti said in surprise: "Sister, you know him!"
An Luoyi had mixed feelings: "It's a long story."
"Yes, we know each other. At first I mistook you for the saint, but I didn't expect that you were actually her sister..." Fu Tan said meaningfully.
"Why did you leave without saying goodbye? What's going on with this dark aura around you?" An Luoyi asked suspiciously.
"As you thought, I am the source of the black energy. I couldn't draw strength from the immortal world, and I was hungry every day during the few years I stayed by your side! I don't want to be so weak anymore. I want to... wait until I'm stronger before coming back to find you..." Fu Tan first showed an innocent look, and then his laughter became crazy. "I went to the human world! Killing! Hatred! Resentment! Like delicacies from the mountains and the sea! I became strong and worthy of standing before you!"
A hint of sadness flashed in An Luoyi's eyes: "How did you become like this? So the black energy on my father was left by you..."
"That's right." Fu Tan said with hope in his words, "I was imprisoned by the Demon Lord and could not see the light of day. It was Chong Sheng and An Nanchi's intrusion that gave me the opportunity to escape. I transformed into my original energy and hid in Chong Sheng, but I didn't want them to cause trouble. I used the source-dividing technique to follow An Nanchi to the Nanyuan Immortal Mansion. Only half of my vitality remained in him."
"So, it was you who really caused the frequent deaths in the fairy world!" An Luoyi's cold words were filled with anger.
"Sister, I will die if I don't do this. You won't blame me, will you?" Fu Tan's pitiful eyes were covered with a layer of self-righteousness.
Yunti couldn't stand it any longer. She said unhappily, "What are you yelling about? Who is your sister?"
Fu Tan raised an innocent smile and challenged her without disguising it: "I have called her sister for many years, and you were not even there at that time."
"You!" Yunti was furious but unable to refute.
An Luoyi said coldly and mercilessly: "You are really crazy."
"Hahaha, crazy? I like this description! Are you praising me, sister?" Fu Tan laughed heartily.
Fang Jinghe said slowly, "Alright, what's there to talk about with someone who can't even tell the difference between criticism and praise? Boy, let me ask you, what did you do to Xian Youlin? Why is he unconscious?"
"Who? Is it the man in the room?" Fu Tan said in a daze, then smiled evilly, "He's going to die soon!"
"What!" Yunti and Fang Jinghe were surprised.
Fang Jinghe said in disbelief: "You are not kidding."
Fu Tan's expression turned sinister: "Anyone who covets my sister must die."
"Futan." An Luoyi called him coldly, his eyes flashing with an extremely serious light, "You know I will never forgive you for doing this."
Fu Tan trembled slightly, uneasiness and fear creeping into his heart for no reason. "Sister, please pamper me one more time. I don't want him to live."
After saying this, he was afraid of hearing An Luoyi's rebuke and turned into black mist and disappeared on the spot.
"Futan!"
An Luoyi's voice echoed across the mountains, but the young man's figure had long since disappeared...
