Chapter 188 The Boy and the Little Bird, Sister, Didn't You Eat? [Please Subscribe]

Half a while later.

Xiao Yan, his face bruised and swollen, followed behind Lu Xian and Ye Fan. He had been beaten much worse than Ye Fan; his face was covered in bruises and swollen like a steamed bun, and his eyes were narrowed into slits. He looked no better than a pig's head.

If you don't hit a jerk hard, they'll never learn.

Xiao Yan was different. He was the worst kind of scoundrel. Even if you hit him hard, he wouldn't learn his lesson. Right now, he was chuckling to himself, secretly planning a crazy idea.

What you did in the past, you reap today!

The grudges of the past will be settled today!

Do you really think Xiao Yan came all this way just for Yuan?

That was just a "perk" he took advantage of; the real show was yet to come!

Lu Xian and Ye Fan didn't notice the strange, almost perverse smile on Xiao Yan's face at that moment, otherwise they probably would have given him a beating.

Lu Xian was telling Ye Fan a tragic love story. Although Yan Ruyu and Qin Yao, who were leading the way, did not turn around, they were also eavesdropping.

"I have stepped into the river of time and witnessed a tragic love story."

"A young man emerged from the desolate forbidden land, rising step by step against all odds, battling the Four Extremes in the Dao Palace, and then the Four Extremes in the Dragon Transformation..."

"He successfully made a name for himself in the Big Dipper constellation, shining like a brilliant new star in this ancient sky. His brilliance did not stop there, but became even more dazzling. He forged ahead, overcoming all obstacles and even rushed into the ancient star road, dominating all sides and spreading his fame far and wide..."

"But he didn't know that there was a bird in the Big Dipper who, after three days and three nights of pleasure, couldn't bear to part with him. After the boy left to explore the world, the bird silently witnessed his transformation from boy to young man, heard his stories, and shared his joys and sorrows. In the end, in order to catch up with him and fight alongside him, the bird desperately cultivated. However, due to its eagerness for quick success, it suffered a backlash during cultivation and accidentally went into a state of demonic possession. In the end, it passed away with endless regrets, without even seeing its former lover one last time."

"Later, when the young man returned from the ancient starry road to find his beloved bird, all he found was a lonely grave of his former lover. He was filled with remorse, and this became an eternal pain in his heart..."

As Ye Fan listened to Lu Xian's story, his expression grew increasingly grim, becoming terrifyingly dark.

Qin?

禽？

His gaze unconsciously shifted, seemingly unintentionally, yet carrying an indescribable complexity, as he glanced at Qin Yao's graceful, swaying back.

Qin Yao's figure was light and graceful, and every step seemed to carry a unique rhythm, but at this moment, in Ye Fan's eyes, it inexplicably aroused a feeling of unease.

Brother Lu.

Ye Fan's voice was somewhat hoarse, carrying a hint of suppressed emotion, "Why do I feel like your story is about me?"

He stared intently at Lu Xian, his eyes full of inquiry, as if trying to find an answer from Lu Xian's expression.

"If you think so, then it is."

Lu Xian remained calm and composed, offering no direct response to Ye Fan's question. His relaxed and casual tone made it seem like a trivial matter, but this ambiguous attitude only intensified Ye Fan's already growing frustration.

One of the three things a man cannot accept is that the person he deeply loves will die for him!

Ye Fan knew very well that what Lu Xian was telling was not an ordinary love story, but rather an allusion to his own experiences in the novel.

Lu Xian telling this story at this moment was clearly a subtle reminder to himself, a reminder to think carefully about how to make up for that heartbreaking regret.

Brother Lu.

Ye Fan took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart. "Did that bird really die in the end?"

"Dead, but not dead." Lu Xian's answer remained enigmatic.

Ye Fan's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had seen a glimmer of light in the darkness, and he eagerly asked, "How so?"

"That bird is indeed dead."

Lu Xian slowly spoke: "But the boy eventually grew to the realm above the Dao of Sacrifice. He crossed the river of time and revived the bird."

Lu Xian's voice wasn't loud, but it resonated in Ye Fan's ears like a great bell, stirring up a myriad of thoughts in Ye Fan's heart, leaving him unsure whether to be happy or worried.

"He's back to life, that's good, that's good..."

Ye Fan muttered to himself, even he was somewhat dazed, unsure of the complex emotions he was feeling when he uttered those words.

All he knew was that hearing such an ending in the story made him feel as if a heavy stone had been lifted from the depths of his heart.

After all, for the characters in the story, the ending seemed to be heading in a positive direction.

Yan Ruyu, who was walking in front, seemed to finally relax after being on edge. She let out a long sigh and glanced at Qin Yao, who was lost in thought, without making a sound.

Qin Yao's expression was particularly complex at this moment, her eyes filled with confusion and a faint worry as she silently pondered.

Both of them were shrewd and perceptive; how could they not have guessed that Lu Xian's words were implied?

"What's so good about it!"

Lu Xian glanced at Ye Fan, scoffing at his previous remarks: "Ye Hei, do you really think the bird resurrected after the ritual is still the same bird?"

"To be honest, I don't know the answer either, because I haven't experienced it, but I feel that it's more like a way of deceiving oneself."

"Perhaps what was resurrected was just the bird from the boy's memory; or perhaps it was a bird forcibly pulled from a different timeline, seemingly the same but actually different; or perhaps it was merely a real yet illusory bird that the boy conjured with his boundless power, carrying all his hopes for the beautiful past..."

"In short, I really don't think she's the same bird anymore. After going through the boundary between life and death and crossing the river of time, everything has quietly changed. Even if they look similar, they may be completely different in essence."

Lu Xian tilted his head slightly, looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with emotion, and sighed softly, as if this sigh carried the helplessness of the impermanence of the world.

Ye Fan's mood, which had initially eased slightly, became heavy again, and his brows furrowed.

Brother Lu.

Ye Fan remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, his voice low and slightly hoarse, "If you were that boy in the story, what would you do?"

"Me?"

Lu Xian was slightly taken aback, then fell into deep thought.

His gaze returned from the sky, and after a moment, he spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but carrying a firmness, as if this were his deepest and most genuine, unquestionable thought:

"I only trust the people in front of me, and I will not let anyone I cherish leave me. I will do everything in my power to keep them here in this life!"

A light shone in Lu Xian's eyes, a light that seemed to pierce through all confusion and reach the depths of his inner conviction.

These words, like an answer to Ye Fan, and also like a vow to himself, sounded particularly powerful in the brief silence.

Upon hearing Lu Xian's reply, Ye Fan was deeply moved. His gaze involuntarily drifted forward, landing on Qin Yao's graceful back. The confusion and entanglement in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by an unwavering expression.

Ye Fan only believed in the present world. After Lu Xian reminded him, he already had his own plan in mind. At this moment, his eyes shone brightly, as if he had already seen the direction of the future.

For the rest of the journey, the group fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts, their footsteps rustling softly as they walked along the winding path through the peach blossom grove.

It wasn't until the group arrived at the entrance of a valley that Yan Ruyu broke the silence. With a gentle expression, she instructed Qin Yao to take Ye Fan and Xiao Yan to the main hall to rest, while she herself would personally lead Lu Xian into the valley.

As you step into the valley, a dreamlike panorama slowly unfolds before your eyes.

Here, peach trees grow in abundance, many of them ancient trees that are thousands of years old, much more vigorous than the peach trees found elsewhere. In the distance, a clear green pool sits in the center of the peach grove, with several thatched huts built beside it. Their presence does not spoil the beautiful scenery; on the contrary, they blend into nature, appearing exceptionally harmonious and giving people a sense of tranquility and serenity.

Lu Xian and Yan Ruyu strolled to the edge of the pool. Lu Xian was dressed in white, while Yan Ruyu wore a blue dress. The two, one in white and one in blue, looked very well-matched, like a couple having a secret rendezvous.

"What Fellow Daoist Lu Xian said earlier, was it really just a story?" Yan Ruyu turned her head slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Xian, a hint of inquiry in her gaze. Her voice was soft and melodious, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the valley.

"Princess Yan, don't you already have the answer in your heart?" Lu Xian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. His gaze was deep and gentle as he met Yan Ruyu's eyes, as if he could see through her thoughts.

"Too."

Yan Ruyu smiled gently, like a newly blossoming lotus, pure and flawless. She nodded slightly, her gaze falling on the shimmering pool, as if she were pondering something.

After a moment, she turned her gaze to Lu Xian again, her eyes filled with expectation, and asked softly, "Then, Fellow Daoist Lu Xian, do you think that if the boy and the little bird had the chance to do it all over again, would the ending be different?"

I believe it will.

Having received a satisfactory answer from Lu Xian, Yan Ruyu's lustrous red lips smiled even more beautifully, like a blooming peach blossom, bright and gentle, showcasing her beauty to the fullest.

She asked Lu Xian to wait there while she went to invite the elders of her clan to come and prepare to break the seal on the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart. With light steps, her graceful figure quickly disappeared into the depths of the peach forest.

the other side.

Ye Fan and Xiao Yan were surrounded by a group of little fairies that Qin Yao had called over, like two butterflies that had fallen into a flower garden.

The two of them are now honored guests of the demon race. These little demons are bold and daring, each one full of spirit and full of tricks. Every smile and frown is captivating, and they keep teasing and joking with the two of them.

After Xiao Yan jokingly asked if the ladies offered massage services, several of the little vixens actually volunteered, and the two of them are now enjoying themselves.

Lu Xian didn't wait long by the pool before Yan Ruyu returned with more than ten old women. One of the old women stepped forward, touched Lu Xian's physique, and said to the others, "This boy's physique is unparalleled in my life; his blood and qi are surging, enough to be used as a sacred artifact!"

"Then let's begin now!" The other old women also stepped forward.

Lu Xian was not subjected to any binding treatment. Unlike Ye Fan in the original story, he was there voluntarily. Therefore, all they did was have Lu Xian stand in the center of the pool, and when they took out the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart, they would open the Sea of ​​Bitterness and let him enter it.

Lu Xian nodded, indicating that they could begin.

At this moment, more than ten old women attacked together, each channeling their divine power into the pool. Moments later, the pool was churning with waves, and nine golden carp, each several meters long, emerged from the bottom of the pool, dragging a crystal coffin with them.

The crystal coffin is two meters long and one meter wide. It is crystal clear and sparkles with seven colors under the sunlight, making it extraordinary. Inside is a heart the size of a fist, surrounded by crimson clouds and radiant with light. It is dazzling and bright, like the essence of red jade, and has an incomparably vigorous vitality, as if a vast ocean is rippling within it.

Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart!

"Young friend, prepare to enter the Sea of ​​Bitterness and welcome the Holy Heart of the Demon Emperor!" an old woman reminded him.

The crystal coffin opened just after her reminder, and a surge of vigorous life force immediately flowed out like a vast ocean, making everyone feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze. The powerful life force of the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart, if it were always by one's side, would undoubtedly be helpful for cultivation.

At this moment, Lu Xian opened his own sea of ​​suffering as instructed, and a blazing milky white light burst forth from his lower abdomen, as dazzling as a small sun, exuding a noble and holy aura and a vibrant life force. Countless runes could be faintly seen dancing on the surface of the sea within.

"His sea of ​​suffering is white, which is so strange. He will surely develop those extraordinary phenomena like His Highness in the future."

More than ten old women were shocked. This holy aura full of vitality must be the most top-level holy artifact of the Demon Emperor's Holy Heart. No one could be more suitable than him!

Yan Ruyu was also surprised to see this scene, and found it difficult to remain calm. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with surprise.

Lu Xian quickly guided the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart into the Sea of ​​Bitterness, and all the strange phenomena disappeared, and the surroundings instantly returned to calm.

He looked inward into the Sea of ​​Bitterness. The Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart was now suspended in the center of the Sea of ​​Bitterness, being washed by the source of divine power. It seemed unsatisfied and wanted to make some changes, as if it wanted to devour Lu Xian's life essence.

Lu Xian sneered, "Once you've entered my sea of ​​suffering, you're no longer in control." With a thought, he instantly suppressed the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart with the Suppressing God Tower, and also blasted out a drop of the Demon Emperor's essence blood.

This drop of essence blood transformed into endless crimson light, bursting out of the sea of ​​suffering and spreading to every part of his body. At this moment, his flesh trembled, as if being forged, radiating dazzling brilliance, and crimson enveloped his body.

Before long, the bloodstains on Lu Xian's body faded. He felt as if his flesh and blood had undergone a baptism, becoming noticeably stronger. A pleasant smile appeared on his lips as he lightly walked back to the shore. A group of old women immediately gathered around to check on him.

"The moment the Sacred Heart entered my body, it began to nourish my physical form!"

"It seems the Sacred Heart is quite fond of this sacred artifact!"

More than ten old women were overjoyed. One of them looked at Yan Ruyu excitedly and said, "After the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart is nurtured, it can live on forever. Your Highness, you can rest assured and boldly cultivate the supreme demonic arts with this young friend. Your cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds in the future, restoring the glory of the demon race and recreating the former splendor of the Demon Emperor!"

When Yan Ruyu saw Lu Xian's teasing gaze, her flawless face quickly flushed red, making her look stunningly beautiful.

The so-called supreme demonic technique is the dual cultivation of furnace and cauldron, using Lu Xian's body to help her refine the boundless essence of the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart.

"Young friend, would you be willing to marry into my demon clan, become the prince consort of my demon clan, and be my demon clan's princess?"

"If you are willing to marry into my family, my demon race can provide for all your cultivation needs."

"Young friend..."

The old women chattered on and on, giving Lu Xian a headache. "Marrying into the family is not an option, but if Princess Yan is willing to marry out, I will have no objection."

How could a demon princess marry into a foreign land? Many old women were about to refuse, but Yan Ruyu nodded first and softly agreed.

"Can!"

For a moment, the old women were dumbfounded.

"Don't worry, I will still stay in the demon clan and won't go out with him. In fact, this is no different from marrying into the family."

Yan Ruyu's words dispelled the old women's concerns.

After dealing with the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart, Yan Ruyu took Lu Xian to find Ye Fan and Xiao Yan. They arrived at a palace together, and before even stepping inside, they heard strange noises coming from within.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Be gentle, sister!"

"Hey? Little brother Xiao Yan, this spot is related to the kidneys. If it hurts when you press here, it means your kidneys might not be doing so well!"

"Huh? Really... Then I must have been mistaken, it doesn't hurt at all... Ouch!"

"I knew I was mistaken, it doesn't hurt at all, sister, try harder!"

"Holy crap! Ouch—"

"Sister, did you not eat? How come you only have so little energy!"

"Ah! Hiss hiss hiss—"
