The divine beast recognized its master, and the dragon girl, destined to kill him, went to the spiri

The silk curtains were half-drawn, and the shimmering white light flowing within the palace gathered into a warm and soft atmosphere. The moon-shaped crystal cup floating beside the couch still held lingering divine energy, but the heat from when it mingled with the magical energy had dissipated, leaving only a light, orchid-like and snow-like fragrance.

Ye Wanqing's phoenix eyes, which usually held a sharp edge, were slightly closed. Her long eyelashes, like butterfly wings, were still glistening with starlight at the tips, the moisture that had not yet dissipated when her divine power calmed down.

The turmoil caused by forcibly activating the power of the dragon bones to counteract the power of the rules has subsided. At this moment, it is slowly flowing along the pale blue veins on Ye Wanqing's wrist, reflecting a faint silver light under her skin.

Her slightly furrowed brows completely relaxed, her lower lip still had a faint pink tinge from being sucked and bitten, and her breathing became long and steady.

Suddenly, his phoenix eyes snapped open, deep and bright. Di Siheng looked down at the person in front of him, his fingertips gently brushing the stray hairs that fell by her temples. His fingertips inadvertently brushed against her warm earlobe, causing Ye Wanqing's heart to tremble involuntarily.

His features were already deep and sculpted, but in front of Ye Wanqing, he shed his usual aloofness as the Demon Emperor. The curve of his jawline softened considerably, and the corners of his eyes were tinged with a faint red due to his emotions.

Ye Wanqing leaned against Di Siheng's chest, her eyes shimmering with an unfathomable emotion. She spoke in a low voice, "Di Siheng, when is the next time you will use your power of rules?"

Di Siheng's gaze paused slightly, but his expression remained as tender as before, his fingertip tracing the pale pink mark on the corner of her lips.

That was the mark left when he lightly kissed her lips and channeled his own demonic energy into her body to stabilize the dragon bone power within her, which was disrupted by the power of the rules. Now, it held a touch of romance between the two of them, shimmering faintly with her steady spiritual energy.

"At least we can wait until five days for Wanwan's birthday."

"Birthday?" Ye Wanqing murmured softly. She had forgotten that her birthday was in five days.

Before she regained her memories, her master told her that her birthday was the day he found her. But after regaining her memories, she realized that the day he supposedly found her was indeed her birthday.

Seeing Ye Wanqing gradually lose her focus, Di Siheng lowered his eyes, his expression unreadable. "Wanwan, what is your biggest wish right now?"

"Find the Earth Spirit as soon as possible."

Only when the spirits of the five directions gather can she truly unleash the purest power of her destiny as the Dragon Maiden, thus gaining the ability to contend with the power of the rules.

She wasn't made of stone, and she wasn't unaware of Di Siheng's feelings. On the contrary, she did understand, or perhaps unknowingly, her closed heart also succumbed because of Di Siheng.

He did so much behind her back without her knowing, and she wanted to do something for him too.

For some unknown reason, Di Siheng suddenly tightened his arms around Ye Wanqing's waist. Their eyes met, mingling with the faint scent of their shared presence in the room.

"The Five Spirits form their own set of rules and destiny. Deliberately searching for them will only yield no results. It's only a matter of time before the Five Spirits return to their rightful places. Wanwan, there's no need to worry about it."

"I'm worried about you!"

Ye Wanqing's eyes no longer held the usual indifference and aloofness, but rather undisguised tension and worry. "The power of the rules is so strong that the Five Spirits are the only solution."

Suddenly, she moved closer to Di Siheng and leaned on his shoulder, but dared not look at him. She whispered, "I don't want you to get hurt because of me again."

Di Siheng's lips gradually curved into a smile as he stroked Ye Wanqing's loose black hair, but he didn't say anything.

Before leaving, Dao Tian told Ye Wanqing that her uncle and Zhi Qiao were destined to face this calamity, and that she was the key to resolving their fate.

She is the cause, and she is also the effect.

As her thoughts wandered, Ye Wanqing came back to her senses. Thinking of how Zhou Muye had asked her to come here to find Di Siheng, her mind became somewhat strange. "Now that your demonic thoughts have been reincarnated as Zhou Muye, will it have any impact on you?"

Di Siheng's eyes remained unchanged, still warm, "There might have been some trouble before, but it's fine now."

"is it?"

……

Di Siheng did not return to the Demon Realm, but instead briefly returned to Ye Wanqing's residence with her.

"Daddy, Mommy!" The childish voice called out first, and the next second, the little body rushed between the two of them, its chubby arms hugging Ye Wanqing's leg, and then struggling to reach for Di Siheng's fingers with its other hand.

"Father, Mother, Yu Bao misses you both so much."

Ye Wanqing smiled, her expression full of tenderness. She squatted down, hugged Yu Bao in her arms, and walked towards the inner courtyard. Not far away, Jingheng and Huaijin silently watched Di Siheng.

Di Siheng already knew the identities of Jingheng and Huaijin, and bowed to them, saying, "Greetings, Your Excellencies."

As the son of the Nine Heavens God and the ancient demon god, and also Wanwan's brother, he should rightfully bow down and address him as "Your Excellency".

"Hmph, so you knew our identities back in the Divine Realm, didn't you?"

Jingheng scoffed. Back in the Divine Realm, in their own realm, the two of them became fast friends with Di Siheng and even became sworn brothers.

No wonder Di Siheng's expression changed when he saw the two of them on their first meeting; he must have already seen through their identities back then.

Di Siheng did not refute, "The auras of the two of you are from the same source as the aura on Wanwan's body, so it is easy to distinguish them."

Huai Jin, who had been silent, looked at Di Siheng in front of her. Suddenly, her expression turned serious. As if she had thought of something, she pulled Jingheng next to her. Their eyes met, and since they were soulmates, they immediately understood each other's meaning and fell silent.

Huaijin smiled gently, "Wanwan, you've worked hard these past few days. Your birthday is in five days, and your brothers will make all the arrangements."

five days later

The entire city of Tianling was filled with joy.

The people in the city had all heard the news that a demon from beyond the heavens had appeared in Luoshan Village some time ago. The appearance of the demon from beyond the heavens caused panic throughout the entire Heavenly Spirit Realm. However, they also heard that the demon had been killed and driven away, which excited everyone. They had been looking for the hero who could fight against the demon from beyond the heavens.

Today, I learned that the hero is in Tianling City, and it is her birthday. More importantly, she is Ye Wanqing, the Holy Maiden of the Temple, who was once exceptionally talented and left a strong mark on the entire Tianling Realm.

Ye Wanqing's name comes from her exceptional talent and is revered by others since childhood. Her stunning beauty is her most unassuming outstanding quality, and the temple behind her sets an example by providing the best opportunities for commoners who lack talent but train hard.

The destruction of the temple and the disappearance of the saintess caused countless people who had gained access to the temple to weep bitterly.

"She is a saintess, she really is the saintess of the temple."

"Yes, that's right, it's her aura. Look, the temple has returned."

On the mountain peak outside Tianling City, a once desolate and dilapidated palace suddenly appeared, exactly the same as the once world-renowned holy temple.

other side

Looking at the palace that was exactly the same as in her memory, Ye Wanqing's usually calm and aloof expression trembled for a moment as those childhood memories flashed through her mind.

The same was true for Di Sizhen behind her; the tears hidden in the corners of her reddened eyes could no longer be suppressed.

When the Demon Realm was in chaos, her elder brother was suppressing his demonic thoughts, which caused his body to become weak and fall into a coma. Meanwhile, the collateral royal family and various demon tribes were fighting each other to the death.

To protect her as an infant, the direct line of the royal family suppressed the nine-tailed fox demon bloodline within her and fled from the Demon Realm to the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Later, by a twist of fate, she arrived at the Holy Temple and was raised by Dao Tian and Dao Qing.

Her feelings for the temple were in no way inferior to Ye Wanqing's.
