Rebirth of a Quasi-Immortal Spirit

"Wait, stop! Is it really okay for you to talk about those righteous people and your own Demon Palace like that?" To be honest, Gao Zhun was truly impressed by this witch. She really dared to say anything. Wasn't she afraid of getting into trouble with her mouth?

Mo Nishang looked at Gao Zhun with slight surprise upon hearing this: "I thought only Xuan Yuan Huanyu would think this way, I didn't expect you to... Shouldn't you be the type like me who dares to say anything?"

"Who dares to say anything like you..." Gao Zhun tried to defend herself weakly. Was her previous impression really that bad? Like that witch Mo Nishang?

"Ha, then I'll just pretend I misunderstood," Mo Nishang replied nonchalantly.

"Gurgle..." Just then, an untimely sound rang out...

Xuanyuan Huanyu frowned, his gaze sweeping over Gao Zhun's flat stomach, and asked, "What was that sound?"

Standing to the side, Mo Nishang looked at Gao Zhun with a leisurely air and said meaningfully, "I say, Lord Gao Zhun, how much of a shock do you want to give us? Logically speaking, with your cultivation level, you should have already passed the stage of abstaining from grains, so you should explain to us what that sound was all about."

At some point, Mo Nishang changed her address for Gao Zhun from "Lord Huangzhu" to "Lord Gao Zhun." Of course, she also changed her self-reference accordingly. After all, as a quasi-direct descendant of the Gao family, Gao Zhun certainly deserved the respect of Mo Nishang, the demon princess.

Looking at Xuan Yuan Huan Yu and Mo Ni Chang, who were both very serious, Gao Zhun felt his right arm start to ache again. Was this the legendary "Qilin Arm" about to flare up?

No, what is all this about? But it is a good excuse. Gao Zhun put on a wronged look and said in a mournful voice, "It's all because Your Highness's cold energy is too domineering. It seems to have damaged the foundation of my cultivation. As a result, it has directly brought my body back to the state before I abstained from grains."

As he spoke, Gao Zhun lay down on the ground and started acting like a rogue: "I don't care, whoever did it has to take responsibility for me. Even if Your Highness is the fifth princess of the Demon Clan, you can't be unreasonable. So I'm entrusting my dinner to Your Highness, and I also entrust my safety to Your Highness until my injuries are fully healed."

Faced with Gao Zhun's blatant nonsense and opportunistic behavior, Mo Ni Chang was not only not annoyed, but also thought about it with interest, and said in a serious tone: "So you're just asking me to be your cook and bodyguard for a while, right? I don't mind myself, but I need someone's cooperation. What do you think, Your Excellency Xuan Yuan Huan Yu?"

When Mo Nishang called her name in that convoluted and affected tone, Xuan Yuan Huanyu's expressionless face almost collapsed again. At this moment, she twitched her eyes and barely managed to stop her expression from changing. She said coldly, "As my cousin, it is my responsibility to take care of Xiao Zhun. There is no need for the Fifth Princess to give any instructions."

"You're really not being frank." Mo Nishang shrugged and glanced at Gao Zhun, who had gotten up from the ground and sat up again. "Look after this little guy's safety. I'll go look around and see if there's anything we can use to fill our stomachs."

"Although I really want to be with Huanyu, there's no way around it, I have this burden to carry."

Before leaving, Mo Nishang muttered something under her breath. Finally, Xuan Yuan Huanyu broke down in her cold demeanor upon hearing the word "Huanyu." As for the person sitting on the ground, she wanted to shout, "Let's go together! I'm fine!" However, for the sake of her own life, she decided to suppress the lesbian spirit within her and obediently play the role of her burden.

Only when Gao Zhun could no longer sense Mo Ni Chang's presence did he truly lower his guard. After all, that person had accepted the mission to assassinate him. Although the other party said that he was not interested in killing her, what if he suddenly became interested?

In short, she would never let her guard down. Even with her cousin suddenly appearing by her side, she wasn't completely off guard. After all, she had died once before because of a moment of carelessness!

"That woman, Mo Nishang..."

Hearing Xuan Yuan Huan Yu's helpless sigh, Gao Zhun's yuri spirit instantly reignited. To be honest, the contrasting charm of Xuan Yuan Huan Yu and Mo Ni Chang was exactly what she adored. Well, Mo Ni Chang's covetousness of Xuan Yuan Huan Yu was quite obvious. She just didn't know what this icy older sister was thinking.

"Miss Huanyu, what is your opinion of Mo Nishang?"

Gao Zhun bluntly threw out a direct question, disregarding the fact that she and the other party were not familiar with each other. After all, Xuan Yuan Huan Yu had just deliberately expressed his feelings, which meant that he wanted to confide in her, right?

Whether she believes it or not, let her think that way.

“You…” Xuan Yuan Huan Yu looked at Gao Zhun with complicated eyes and said softly, “Just like her, you’re someone who dares to say anything. You actually asked me this question so directly. Are you so sure I’ll answer you?”

"I'm not sure," Gao Zhun shrugged. "It's just a strange intuition at play, but there's no need to say it out loud. What the other person needs right now is probably just a listener."

"Yongcheng, this wasn't my first encounter with her." Xuan Yuan Huan Yu closed her eyes, lost in memories—

On the Immortal Spirit Continent, if we're talking about irreconcilable enmity, nothing can compare to the conflict between the human race and the demon race. Therefore, every so often, a large-scale conflict would break out between the two sides. Xuan Yuan Huan Yu and Mo Ni Chang's first meeting took place in such a scenario.

At the time, both of them were newcomers to the cultivation world who had just entered the Golden Core realm. They were not considered combat power in the war between humans and demons. In fact, they were only sent to the battlefield for observation and learning as key personnel for their respective training programs. However, the ferocity of that battle far exceeded the expectations of both sides...

"This concludes our battlefield observation."

After a great battle, Xuan Yuan Huan Yu was greeted by her father, who was covered in blood. His exhausted appearance made her frown. She wanted to deal with him, but fearing her father's scolding, she could only stop and stand aside, waiting for her father's instructions.

How could Xuan Yuanmingqing miss the change in his daughter's expression? He was delighted by the concern in Huan Yu's eyes, and he was even more gratified by her final restraint. As a member of the Xuan Yuan family, one must give up many things, and this outward expression of emotion is the first thing to do.

The more a member of the Xuanyuan clan can conceal their true self, the more capable they are of undertaking great responsibilities; this is the ancestral precept of the Xuanyuan family.

However, before the human army could retreat, the demons, who had also suffered heavy losses, had already gone back to muster their forces and returned to fight. Both sides were exhausted, and this final battle was extremely fierce. Not only the ground, but the sky was also filled with blood from both sides. Under the protection of a group of family experts, Xuan Yuan Huan Yu looked up and saw that the clouds above seemed to be stained with blood. He felt a chill in his heart. This was the inevitable outcome of humans and demons coexisting—war?

"I really don't understand, what's the point of all this fighting and killing?"

If it weren't for the fact that the voice was clearly different from her own, Xuan Yuan Huan Yu would have thought that she had spoken her own thoughts. She was astonished as to who could say such a thing. Looking towards the source of the voice, she discovered that the person who was killing in the crowd was also looking at her. This feeling...

"Miss Huanyu, be careful."

Her guards warned her, "That person is using a wide-ranging charm spell, it's very powerful. Miss Huanyu, don't meet that witch's gaze."

Shouldn't they avoid eye contact? But they already made eye contact.

Of course, having already learned how to conceal herself, Xuan Yuan Huan Yu would not say this aloud. Suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, she had awakened the Emperor's True Eye a few days ago. Although she had not yet had time to tell her father so that she could undergo systematic training, it should be more than enough to deal with the other party's seductive arts.

Finally, the battle became increasingly intense. All the guards had been scattered to various locations by the demons, and only one person remained to protect her, but this person seemed to be having little effect.

"Hmph, finally dealt with these small fry. So you're Xuanyuan Huanyu?"

Once the last guard fell, Xuanyuan Huanyu was now facing the demon woman who had just complained and used her group charm spell.

"You are Mo Nishang, the fifth princess of the Demon Clan." Her tone was certain. Although she was on a different side, she knew a lot about this person who was also a special person on the battlefield. Especially after seeing the other party launch that move, didn't the intelligence say that the fifth princess of the Demon Clan's move was to subdue the enemy without fighting by using seductive arts?

As expected of someone who would say such a thing.

"I say, isn't it going to be a duel between the two of us next?" Mo Nishang stared intently at Xuan Yuan Huanyu, then suddenly smiled and said, "Indeed, this is a strange way of putting it, like a fateful duel. We're not some star-crossed lovers from a folk tale, are we?"

“Indeed not.” As Mo Nishang spoke, Xuan Yuan Huanyu had already closed her eyes, not to avoid the other party’s gaze, but because she needed time to activate the Emperor’s True Eye.

Before she could finish the word "truly boring," Mo Nishang saw Xuan Yuan Huanyu, whose eyes were still open. What kind of eyes were those...?

Mo Nishang stared in disbelief at Xuan Yuan Huanyu, who seemed like a completely different person. She, who usually used her charm to bewitch her enemies, never expected that she would be bewitched by an enemy, especially a boring woman as cold as an iceberg.
