The host and the protagonist had a happy ending again [Quick Transmigration]

Hong Zhao: "..."

The voice was so familiar that Pei Chenxi suddenly opened his eyes.

Xu Ran smiled and said to Hong Zhao, "Please forgive my intrusion, young lady."

The number one righteous person has come to the Demon Palace, yet he neither holds anyone accountable nor kills anyone. Why would he say "presumptuous" here?

absurd!

Hong Zhao gritted her teeth, mustered her courage, and said coldly, "What brings Immortal Venerable Qing Shuang to my Demon Palace without a reason?"

Xu Ran shook her head, still speaking in her usual unhurried manner: "Something's up."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by another cold, deep voice: "The esteemed Immortal Venerable Qing Shuang has graced us with his presence, naturally to act on behalf of Heaven."

Pei Chenxi, taking advantage of the demon mask, stared unabashedly at Xu Ran. This was his master…

He could never call Xu Ran "Master" again in this lifetime.

Pei Chenxi is dead; he was the infamous Demon Lord.

If he were to die at Xu Ran's hands, it would make Qing Shuang Immortal Venerable even more fearsome, and the Demon Clan would no longer dare to cause trouble.

He immediately understood that this was the case: the Demon Lord should die at the hands of the Azure Frost Immortal.

Master has taken in a useless disciple. No matter how many times I've told him, Master refuses to believe me; it's clearly the truth. Now, his very existence is a burden to Master. The disciple taught by Immortal Venerable Qing Shuang must not be a ruthless killer.

His meridians were in excruciating pain, which he could instinctively endure, as he had become accustomed to this kind of pain since he began cultivating at a young age.

Later, he met his master... and his master never caused him pain again.

Seeing Master today made this long-lost pain even clearer, even unbearable.

He blinked, the fog cleared, and he suddenly froze.

...He met a pair of clear, gentle black eyes.

"I'm not here to act on behalf of Heaven," Xu Ran looked directly into those misty gray eyes, "I'm here to find my disciple."

Perhaps he was hallucinating, Pei Chenxi felt a moment of disorientation.

  

He had just dismissed the illusion from his mind when the voice persisted: "Chenxi, your master has come to see you."

Pei Chenxi's heart skipped a beat, and his tone became even colder and more sinister: "Immortal Venerable Qing Shuang was actually blind, even mistaking his own disciple."

Xu Ran muttered to herself, "I've lost a lot of weight."

Pei Chenxi dared not listen to a word more, gathering demonic energy in his palm, his eyes filled with panic.

A powerful magical force swept towards Xu Ran. He looked at the demon mask on the face of the person who made the attack, his brows furrowed slightly, but he did not dodge, yet he was unharmed.

The door in front of him slammed shut, the airflow scattering Xu Ran's long hair. He closed his eyes, looking rather helpless.

Such a big fuss, just to close a door?

Xu Ran objectively commented: "He's not very promising."

Becoming a demon lord doesn't bring much success.

He won't even utter any harsh words. What kind of demon lord are you? Just capture him and make him your disciple.

The system banged on the tightly closed door... but couldn't open it.

Xu Ran took out a jar of fairy honey from her sleeve and knocked on the door very politely: "I brought you fairy honey, take some and have some fun."

After saying this, he truly put down the fairy honey and left the demon palace.

Hong Zhao was quite startled, and it took her a while to find her voice. She looked at Pei Chenxi with a complex expression: "You are actually the disciple of Immortal Venerable Qing Shuang?"

It is said that Immortal Venerable Qing Shuang had a disciple who was mediocre in talent but was highly valued by the Immortal Venerable. Later, he died in Illusionary Spirit Valley.

He didn't die... and even became the Demon Lord.

Pei Chenxi sneered, his tone sinister: "He's mistaken someone for someone else. Don't you even have a brain?"

Hong Zhao rolled her eyes: "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Hong Zhao, however, was not afraid of Pei Chenxi at all: "Don't say I didn't remind you, with Qing Shuang Immortal Venerable's cultivation, it's impossible that he doesn't know you have the bloodline of the Heavenly Demon. What does he gain by keeping you by his side?"

Pei Chenxi, impatient with these words, said, "If you don't get out, you'll stay here and die with me."

"Ungrateful for kindness..." Hong Zhao cursed for a moment, then stopped, gritted her teeth, and flew out of the Demon Palace.

"You'd better watch yourself."

She couldn't save Pei Chenxi, but she hoped that his master truly loved him.

Pei Chenxi was stunned for a moment before finally pushing open the door and seeing the jar of fairy honey by the door.

It's the same celestial honey I received when I first met my master at the age of sixteen...

Master did not know what this celestial honey meant to him. It was just one of the most ordinary things Master had given him, but it was the first gift he had ever received in his life.

Before this, he had never received anything from anyone else. He finally found a fairy grass seed that had been thrown away because it was too dry.

He was filled with anticipation, wanting to see if the fairy herb could improve his aptitude.

But after all that effort to grow it, it was snatched away by someone else.

They said he was overestimating himself...

He was overestimating himself. A lowly handyman disciple with weak spiritual power dared to disobey an inner disciple. He deserved to have his ribs broken and fall to the ground.

He took a bite of dust and couldn't help but laugh, unsure whether he was laughing at others or at himself.

No one had ever given him anything, so even if he destroyed the immortal herb he had finally obtained, he could not give it to anyone else.

Unexpectedly, the immortal herb did not injure the inner disciple's hand, but instead blew up the master's sleeve.

He felt a tightness in his chest and subconsciously touched his face, only to find the metal mask had a cold touch.

How did Master recognize him?

Master said he came looking for his disciple... How could someone who has fallen into demonic possession be the disciple of Immortal Venerable Qing Shuang?

He would have been better off dying in the Valley of Illusions, where he wouldn't have fallen into demonic ways, wouldn't have had his Heavenly Demon bloodline discovered by the Demon Lord, and wouldn't have become a bloodthirsty demon.

...No, he didn't want to die in Illusion Valley. He shouldn't have gone to Illusion Mountain. He should have stayed on Azure Frost Peak and made soup for his master.

It was his greed that led him to desire a longer period of time with his master; this is his punishment.

Pei Chenxi stood there blankly. It seemed as if someone had deliberately lifted a corner of the jar containing the fairy honey, and the sweet fragrance gradually wafted out. Pei Chenxi hugged the jar and felt that it was extremely hot to the touch.

What should he do? He should lure his master into killing him, instead of staring blankly at a jar of immortal honey.

He wanted to return to Qing Shuang Peak...

He cannot go back; he would implicate his master.

*

Xu Ran left Ghost Prison Mountain but didn't return to Green Frost Peak. Instead, he chose a secluded and deserted mountain peak.

"What are you doing?" the system asked curiously, watching Xu Ran's actions.

Xu Ran had already piled up a lot of wood in front of him: "Let's build a wooden house."

The system didn't understand why they would leave the perfectly good Qing Shuang Peak and come to this desolate mountain to build a wooden hut.

Xu Ran continued working: "If the Demon Lord doesn't want to go back, why not build another house? I told you long ago that you can enter this sect but not leave, but you ignored my words. You should be locked up to learn your lesson."

In the blink of an eye, the system saw that Xu Ran had put down the wood and started looking at the system store.
