"Lu Ran, Lu Ran!"
A calling voice came from not far away.
Lu Ran quickly waved his hand and shouted, "Rong Chu, I'm here. I've seen the little princess!"
Before his voice faded, he saw a blur before his eyes, and Yaohua had disappeared.
Rong Chu landed on the ground. Seeing that Lu Ran was okay, he let out a sigh of relief. "Little princess? You must have been tricked by the Demon Lord and are having hallucinations."
After saying that, he cast a spell to heal Lu Ran's wounds.
After Lu Ran recovered from his injuries, he immediately said, "Let's go quickly and get the little princess back."
Rong Chu shook his head speechlessly. "The Demon Lord is more powerful than you. No wonder you fell into an illusion."
He pulled Lu Ran, insisting on cleansing the demonic qi from him, but Lu Ran shook him off forcefully. "If you don't believe me, forget it. I'll go find her myself!"
Back in the valley, Yaohua looked at the mirror somewhat annoyed. "That person just now shouldn't have seen through my transformation technique, right?"
"Of course he saw through it. Otherwise, how would he know your identity?" The system suddenly spoke.
Yaohua was startled. She asked warily, "Who on earth are you? Where are you? Have the guts to come out and talk to me!"
There was a faint sense of fear in her heart. Could this be a foe of her master...
The system said, "Host, I'm inside your body."
"What?" Yaohua was greatly shocked. "What are you doing lurking inside my body? Do you want to seize my body?"
"Of course not." The system said resentfully, "Host, you are Yaohua, the current clan leader of the Phoenix Clan. You were an apprentice of the God Chongming. You were captured and killed by the Demon Lord. After being reborn from the ashes, you were taken away by Qing Que. And I'm your good companion who is both a teacher and a friend - the system!"
Yaohua's head started to ache. She covered her head and thought for a while, then said silently, "I still think you want to seize my body."
"The pain in your head is because my words have stimulated your sealed memory fragments." The system sighed repeatedly.
It had thought it could successfully find a new host, but unexpectedly, after going around in circles, it still ended up with Yaohua.
Yaohua sat cross - legged, preparing to find and eliminate the thing hidden inside her body.
The system sighed. "Well, I still have a chance to prove myself. Three hundred meters northeast of the valley formation, Lu Ran has been captured by the Demon Lord while looking for you. If you save him, he will tell you everything."
"Who is Lu Ran?" Yaohua was confused.
"He's the celestial official who just called you the little princess."
Outside the valley, Lu Ran was hanging hopelessly and helplessly on a tree trunk. He cursed angrily, "What on earth are your goals? Why did you send so many powerful demons to attack the Wolf Clan?"
The tall demon lit a fire under him and leaned against the tree leisurely.
The little green - clothed demon beside him blinked his eyes. "Uncle, before eating a celestial being, should we cut him open first?"
The tall demon opened his eyes, showing a look of caution. "We demons of the Cannibal Clan don't have so many rules. But this celestial official is good - looking. If the Lust Demon Lord likes him, he can take him back as a plaything."
The little green - clothed demon shyly covered his eyes. "That's my father's hobby. I don't like such things."
The tall demon increased the fire and scoffed, "Stop pretending. We demons of the Cannibal Clan only regard people as livestock. We don't have the hobby of having sex with livestock and then eating them. You Lust Demons... Tut."
He couldn't help feeling a little nauseous.
"I didn't expect there to be a chain of contempt among the demons?"
A voice drifted gently. Yaohua appeared on the treetop. The Fire Phoenix roared out and directly took Lu Ran away.
A fireball appeared in her hand. Before the tall demon could react, he was blasted into ashes.
The little green - clothed demon disappeared without a trace.
"Tut, one got away." She said regretfully.
Tears welled up in Lu Ran's eyes. He was surprised, delighted, and touched. "Little princess, did you come here specifically to save me?"
"Sort of, but I'm not the little princess." Yaohua looked at his tattered clothes and showed a look of disgust.
Lu Ran tentatively asked, "Then, do you still remember the God Chongming?"
Yaohua shook her head. "I've only seen his name in the ancient records."
"So you've lost your memory." Lu Ran clapped his hands together, suddenly enlightened. "Then I'll call Rong Chu over now. After we've dealt with the matter of the Wolf Clan, we can return to the Celestial Realm."
He sent out a small paper crane.
The paper crane flew crookedly over a mountain before being stopped by Qing Que.
He had been searching everywhere after finding that Yaohua was missing. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came back, he saw this scene!
A huge sense of crisis surrounded him.
Yaohua sat cross - legged on the ground, chatting casually with Lu Ran, waiting for his companion to arrive.
However, the one who came was Qing Que.
She stuck out her tongue shyly. "Big brother, you're back~"
"Little sister!" Qing Que stepped forward quickly, holding her face and examining it carefully. "Where did you go just now? You've worried big brother to death."
Yaohua said embarrassedly, "I wanted to practice my transformation technique, so I sneaked out. I'm sorry, big brother. Next time I..."
Before her voice faded, Qing Que suddenly looked at Lu Ran beside her. A killing intent flashed in his eyes. "Oh no, this person is our master's foe!"
Without hesitation, he drew his sword and slashed at Lu Ran.
"Yo, isn't this little Qing Que?" The system said in surprise. "He's actually a man? I didn't even notice."
"You know my big brother?" Yaohua watched the battle between the two, feeling a bit helpless.
The system teased, "Host, your romantic encounters are really remarkable. One is a master - apprentice karmic relationship, another is a love between gods and demons. This one seems weak but is actually a bit of a yandere."
Yaohua was completely confused, but she still stepped forward to stop Qing Que. "Big brother, are you mistaken? This person is not our foe."
Seeing her standing in front of him for another man, Qing Que felt a bit dejected. "Little sister, don't you believe me?"
Lu Ran was extremely touched. "Little princess, I knew you still remembered me."
Yaohua shook her head and said seriously, "This little celestial official is so weak. How could he be the one who forced us to stay at home? So he must not be our master's foe."
Hearing this, Qing Que was silent for a moment.
He had wanted to slander Lu Ran, but he didn't expect to be defeated by such simple logic.
He thought for a while and said, "But there is indeed the aura of our foe on him. Just now he also wanted to send a message to his sect... Maybe he discovered our whereabouts and is going to bring people to surround us!"
Yaohua thought for a while and felt it made sense. "But there are no traces of evil deeds on him. There is even a faint aura of merit. If we kill him, aren't we just killing the innocent?"
Qing Que sighed. "Well, then take him back to the valley and let him keep you company. But you can't leave the valley casually anymore."
"Big brother is so nice!" Seeing that Qing Que so easily agreed to her request, the faint doubts Yaohua had just now were dispelled.
