Rong Chu almost got burned to death by the flames. He originally wanted to curse out loud, but thinking that the little princess trusted this person very much, he held back the insulting words. Instead, he smiled magnanimously and said, "It's okay. Let's fight against the Heavenly Demons together."
The group worked together and killed all the Heavenly Demons.
Qing Que took out some spiritual fruits. "Junior Sister, you've worked hard. Eat some fruits to regain your strength."
Yaohua took them and smiled sweetly. "Thank you, Senior Brother."
Rong Chu saw all this and couldn't help but worry secretly. He had to find a way to dissolve the marriage contract between the two of them. Otherwise, what would happen to the God?
He proposed, "I came here for another reason. The God has invited you two to the Heavenly Realm."
Naturally, Qing Que didn't want to go.
However, the voice of the system rang in Yaohua's mind. "Host, even if you don't trust me, you should trust the Heavenly Realm. Now the Four Seas are in chaos because of the Heavenly Demons. Don't you want to do something for the common people?"
Yaohua couldn't say the words of refusal immediately.
The system took the opportunity to say, "The Heavenly Demons have already targeted you. Your senior brother has nowhere to hide. If you take refuge in the Heavenly Realm, you might even become a general!"
Seeing her looking absent - minded, Qing Que said, "Junior Sister?"
"Ah?" Yaohua suddenly came back to her senses and blurted out, "I want to go to the Heavenly Realm!"
Before Rong Chu and Lu Ran could be happy, a dense mass of dark shadows rushed towards them from the horizon.
The small team of Heavenly Demons just now was just a scouting party. The real army of Heavenly Demons was coming!
"How could there be so many Heavenly Demons in the mortal world? And they came so quickly?" Yaohua said in surprise. "Could it be that the surrounding areas have all become their territory?"
Rong Chu looked bitter. "I just received the news... The local earth god who guarded this area died in battle yesterday. All the cities within a thousand - mile radius have fallen into the hands of the Heavenly Demons."
He originally wanted to take the group to the Heavenly Realm to report this situation and seek reinforcements, but now...
The Heavenly Demons set up a formation, and streaks of lightning entangled with demonic qi fell from the sky.
The mortal world was filled with cries of despair, while in the Heavenly Realm, the sound of orchestras was continuous.
The God - Lord sat on the main seat, smiling as he looked at the beautiful maidens below.
The leading maiden was wearing a gray fur coat, with two gray wolf ears on her head. Her eyes were full of ambition. "May I ask the God - Lord, when can we meet God Chongming?"
"Princess Xunhuan, don't be in a hurry," the God - Lord said slowly. "God Chongming's old injury has flared up, and he is currently in seclusion for cultivation. When he comes out of seclusion and sees your innocent eyes, he will surely be happy."
"The God was extremely grief - stricken because of the loss of his disciple, so his old injury recurred? He is really a kind - hearted and affectionate man!" Princess Xunhuan sighed, her heart on fire.
It was said that since the loss of his disciple, God Chongming had been constantly on the way to look for his disciple and ignored external affairs.
In order to ease the relationship between them, the God - Lord had selected many maidens from the Shenzhou Yi tribe and left them in the Cangling Hall.
She had admired God Chongming since she was a child and came here voluntarily this time!
After the other maidens finished their instructions, they left in twos and threes. Only she secretly returned. "May I ask the God - Lord, where is God Chongming's palace? I made a bowl of soup with my own hands and want to give it to him."
The God - Lord said satisfactorily, "If you treat him like this every day, he will surely be touched by your sincerity."
When Xunhuan came to the Cangling Hall, before she knocked on the door, she found those little paper cranes.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, she quietly pinched the paper cranes, read the information inside, and then showed a shocked expression.
What? God Chongming's disciple wasn't dead yet?
Then, wouldn't she have no chance?
After much thought, her expression changed, and finally she chose to destroy these paper cranes.
If she couldn't become the God's disciple this time, she might never have another chance in her life. She had to fight for her future.
However...
If God Chongming found out in the future that she had killed his favorite disciple, would he resent her?
She pondered for a while, and suddenly thought of someone. Her wolf ears perked up excitedly.
In the Mortal World
During the days of being besieged, except for Yaohua, everyone was seriously injured.
But the momentum of the Heavenly Demons was getting stronger and stronger. Not only were there continuous reinforcements, but the dead Heavenly Demons would also turn into countless clusters of demonic qi and then be reborn in the formation.
Suddenly, a cheer erupted from the group of Heavenly Demons. "It's Lord Dream Demon!"
The Dream Demon with pink horns on her head bounced out. She looked like a young girl, but the words she said were very mature. "I didn't expect that as soon as I came out of seclusion, our Demon Race had already reached such a scale."
She smiled and stretched out her hand. A pink aura came out from her fingertips. The Fire Phoenix, which was originally charging through the Heavenly Demons, paused and started to spin in place.
Yaohua felt that her Phoenix True Fire was out of control. Her face turned pale immediately. She could only watch helplessly as the Dream Demon walked slowly over. The pink mist enveloped everything within a hundred - mile radius.
The protective formation that Qing Que had painstakingly set up was broken. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
The mist covered everything. Everyone showed a peaceful smile.
Yaohua also felt her head was groggy. Her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open them. The Dream Demon reached out her hand and smiled as she grabbed Yaohua's neck.
Just then, they suddenly heard a shout from afar. "Wait!"
The Dream Demon turned her head slowly. "Zhao Wu? You're not dead yet?"
Zhao Wu said with a black face, "Why should I be dead?"
The Dream Demon's gaze shifted between him and Yaohua, and her expression became subtle. "I heard that you defected from the Demon Race for a phoenix. Is it this one?"
While they were talking, Yaohua bit the tip of her tongue to force herself to stay awake. Then she exerted strength in her hand. Taking advantage of the Dream Demon's distraction, she summoned the Fire Phoenix over.
The Dream Demon was slightly surprised. Yaohua took the opportunity to break free from her control, and the Fire Phoenix returned behind her.
Zhao Wu protected her behind him and said loudly, "If you insist on killing her, I'll have to fight you to the death!"
The Dream Demon waved her hand. "Tsk, boring."
She left with her hands behind her back.
After a while, Yaohua asked difficultly, "Is she... letting us go?"
Zhao Wu turned around, looked her up and down, and then hugged her tightly.
His hug was so tight that Yaohua could hardly breathe. "Wait, sir, have you mistaken me for someone else?"
Zhao Wu put his head on her neck. His eyes were red, but he complained angrily, "Even if a phoenix is reborn from the ashes, it can't erase the mark in the soul of our Demon Race. I've been running around for you these days, but you're good. You pretend to have amnesia. Do you want to renege on your debt?"
"You're from the Demon Race. That's even more impossible," Yaohua said weakly, pounding on his shoulder. "Sir, phoenixes and Heavenly Demons are natural enemies!"
The system suddenly said, "I can testify that you two are engaged."
