Bai Zhenxi suddenly stopped walking, and when Chi Li looked up, he had covered his eyes first.

"What are you doing? I am the Demon King!" said Chi Li.

Bai Zhenxi hesitantly moved his hand away. Chi Li, who had regained consciousness, saw the scene in front of him and took two steps back in fear even though he was mentally prepared.

A large space was isolated by black magic and served as a pool. The flower in it, as big as a human head, was blood red, and the water in the space was also blood red. At the end of the pool was a three-meter-long cross. On the rack, a person whose gender could not be identified was nailed to the cross with nails on his wrists. The wounds were horrible to look at.

Chi Li noticed that there seemed to be an endless stream of blood dripping from the man's wrist into the Chi Li planted with flowers.

"Is this the person who has been trapped for a hundred years?" Bai Zhenxi said softly.

Chi Li looked at the man's bloody wrist and asked, "Has the blood not dried up after a hundred years?"

Bai Zhenxi looked at her with a cold gaze, as if condemning her coldness and ruthlessness: "Isn't this your magic? It makes it impossible for this person to escape, and uses his blood to irrigate the water lotus."

"No, it can no longer be called a water lotus." After a brief pause, Bai Zhenxi looked at the blood-red flower and said.

"So I have this ability. Then you can free him now. Remember to take out the flowers." Chi Li said calmly. She didn't know why the man soaked in blood gave her a very strange feeling.

Bai Zhenxi walked forward and removed the magic barrier. The man on the shelf raised his head tremblingly. His hair was so long that it completely covered his entire face. Chi Li didn't know what expression he had.

"It's you, it's... you, please give me... a quick death, let me be free, I really... know I was wrong." The man's voice was hoarse and bitter, and even if you couldn't see his face clearly, you could still hear his pain.

Bai Zhenxi stepped forward and waved his hand, and a stream of light blue water took down the red lotus that exuded an ominous aura.

At the same time, the man fixed on the shelf also stopped breathing immediately.

"Are the flowers and his life really connected?" Bai Zhenxi said, looking at the flowers in his hand.

Chi Li frowned and said, "What am I supposed to do with this flower? I can't eat it."

"We need to find a wizard to purify it." Bai Zhenxi put the flowers away for fear that Chi Li would eat them immediately.

"Aren't you afraid of getting diarrhea?" he continued.

When Chi Li left, she turned her head and looked back. The man who was supposed to be lifeless on the cross had turned into foam floating in the blood-colored water.

"When aquatic creatures die, they will turn into foam." Bai Zhenxi explained when he saw Chi Li, who was so shocked that her mouth was wide open.

"You really are the little mermaid. Don't worry, I will never let you turn into lonely bubbles if you follow me." Chi Li looked at his light blue pupils and said seriously.

Bai Zhenxi didn't believe her. This devil was clearly a sex-hungry ghost!

After another round of twists and turns, they arrived at a narrow wooden passage. This passage looked very old, and the wooden surface was covered with mottled marks.

When they passed through this dark and deep passage, the view suddenly opened up - a room filled with all kinds of bottles and jars appeared in front of them.

This room was clearly used for storage, but the precise contents of the jars and bottles were unknown. Some were stacked high, forming small mountains; others lay scattered across the floor, as if having undergone a violent upheaval. Threads of light filtered through these colorful and diversely shaped bottles, reflecting a strange light and lending the room a mysterious aura.

"You came in without even knocking. Are you so arrogant just because you have the clan leader's support?" A slightly old voice came from behind the pile of jars.

Chi Li looked at the empty door and smiled: "You don't have a door here, how can you knock? I understand..."

She walked over to the jar, reached out and knocked on it twice. The crisp sound mingled with her smiling voice: "Is anyone there? Is the invincible Demon King here?"

Bai Zhenxi couldn't help but curl her lips, which was as heart-wrenching as the melting of ice and snow.

"Humph, what devil?" The person behind the jar came out and spoke arrogantly.

After seeing Chi Li's appearance clearly, the old wizard was stunned for a moment, then his expression became respectful. His hunched back bent even further, and his tone became respectful: "The Lord Demon King is here. It's my old eyes that are blurring my vision."

Chi Li smiled and looked at Bai Zhenxi.

Bai Zhenxi understood and took out the blood lotus and placed it on the table. He said to the wizard, "The clan leader asked you to purify the lotus. The Demon King needs it urgently."

The wizard nodded and replied, "Give me three days, and I will give the Demon King a pure and unadulterated water lotus."

"Thank you." Chi Li put away her joking attitude.

After handing the flowers to the wizard, the two went home.

"I have something to ask the elder, please come in." Bai Zhenxi said to Chi Li at the door.

Chi Li did not try to persuade her to stay. She stepped forward and slid her fingers across Bai Zhenxi's chin, saying in a frivolous tone, "Come back soon. I have something more wonderful to do with you."

How could Bai Zhenxi not understand the implication in Chi Li's words? His face, once as white as jade, instantly flushed crimson, even his ears were slightly red, making him look extremely gorgeous. He stammered, "No... Don't worry..." As he spoke, his eyes flickered, as if he couldn't look directly at the person in front of him.

Chi Lichao liked to see him shy. She stared at Bai Zhenxi's back as he swam away in a panic with an ambiguous look and laughed out loud.

In the main hall

The clan leader stroked his beard and said, "You mean the Demon King has lost his memory? That's bad."

"Amnesia should be okay, right? As long as the Demon King absorbs the power of the water lotus to restore his magic power, the seal that has troubled our aquatic tribe for many years will surely be solved." Bai Zhenxi said calmly.

The clan leader shook his head and said, "This seal is not as simple as you think. It can only be broken when the Demon King is sane and recalls his past state of mind."

"It's so troublesome." While complaining, Bai Zhenxi was thinking in his heart that someone like Chi Li would actually think of such a complicated seal. It really shows that you can't judge a person by his appearance.

"Zhenxi, I have always treated you as my son. Do you still remember what you promised me before?" The patriarch looked at Bai Zhenxi.

Bai Zhenxi nodded and said seriously: "Of course I remember. I will swallow the pill and find the Demon King to find a way to get her to break the seal."

The tribe leader nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't expect the Demon King to come directly to the Water Tribe. If her memory is still missing, then you should stick to the original plan and stay with her..."

Bai Zhenxi already understood what the clan leader meant. He asked, "Are you asking me to go with her to find the realm of reincarnation?"
