Chongming told her what had happened.
"Those damned Demon Seeds are so hateful!" Yaohua clenched her fists, fuming with anger.
"If I had come a bit later today, you would have been forcefully taken away by others."
Chongming sighed, "I never expected that there would be a cultivator family in this small Green City."
"Can't you just temporarily lift the seal on your spiritual power to counter the talisman paper?" Yaohua still felt stuffy in her chest when she thought of the scene where he almost got married just now.
Chongming shook his head, "If it were really that simple, I wouldn't have been in such a desperate situation. Once I lift the seal, I'm afraid I'll turn into a blood - thirsty monster."
"No, you won't." Yaohua said firmly, "Even if you were to fall into the demonic path, you'd still be the kindest and most handsome great demon in the world."
Chongming was silent for a moment.
Afraid of touching on his sad past, Yaohua quickly changed the topic, "What should we do about those people from the Ouyang family next?"
Chongming shook his head and smiled, "Stop being naughty again. We're immortals. Why should we haggle with mortals?"
Yaohua threw herself into his arms and said huffily, "They can forcefully rob a civilian man. They must have done a lot of bad things on a daily basis. How can we not wipe them out? Or did you take a fancy to Miss Ouyang in just this short while?"
Looking at her jealous look, Chongming's eyes softened, "How dare I? The only person I've ever loved is you. But this is the territory of other immortals. It's not appropriate for us to overstep our bounds. We just need to inform him of this matter."
Yaohua buried her face in his arms, then suddenly raised her head. There was a bit of playfulness in her curved smiling eyes, "From now on, you're not allowed to leave me! And now that you're just a frail mortal, I can handle you however I want."
Chongming said helplessly yet dotingly, "Okay, okay, okay. I'll do whatever you say."
Anyway... with the conflict between the immortal and demonic qi, he didn't have much time left. If the demonic qi eroded him and made him lose his sanity, he'd rather kill himself.
Over the years, in order to repay the previous Divine Lord, he had been loyal to the Divine Lord whole - heartedly. He had protected the world for the common people who believed in him. When the Heavenly Demon descended, he had created a paradise like Henan Mansion, fulfilling his due responsibilities and not failing the common people. The only one he owed was Yaohua.
Thinking this way, his gaze towards Yaohua became even more tender.
Suddenly, the system spoke up, "Hey, host. Your master has fallen into the demonic path. Can you share some of his demonic qi with me?"
"What falling into the demonic path? He clearly sealed the immortal and demonic qi." Yaohua found this statement extremely harsh.
But the system said, "Do you think the Heavenly Demon Seed is that easy to deal with? The formation that Chongming used to seal the two qi is called the Yin - Yang Immortal - Demon Formation. The Heavenly Demon Seed, sealed inside, will continuously devour the formation to gain strength. When it breaks out of the formation, that's when Chongming will completely fall into the demonic path!"
Yaohua's heart suddenly became extremely heavy, "Is there any way to solve this?"
The system said firmly, "Desperate measures! As long as we take out his soul and seal his body together with the Heavenly Demon Seed."
"What? Take out the soul?" Yaohua said hesitantly, "If we forcefully separate the soul from a person's body, the pain will be worse than being sliced thousands of times. And after the soul leaves the body, it must quickly find a suitable body, or else there will be no hope of coming back to life."
Naturally, she was reluctant to let her master suffer. She asked, "Is there any other way?"
The system was silent for a while, "There's another way, and that's dual cultivation."
Yaohua was shocked and couldn't help but murmur, "Dual cultivation?"
She heard Chongming's soft voice in her ear, "What dual cultivation?"
She came back to her senses, looked at him who was so close, and her cheeks flushed red, "I... I didn't say anything."
Chongming's earlobes turned slightly red, and he said seriously, "You're an unmarried girl. How can you easily mention such heretical methods?"
The system's explanation continued, "Yes, it's dual cultivation. I have a method of dual cultivation. This method allows Chongming to absorb your virgin primordial yin during dual cultivation and stimulate the power of the ancient god's blood. The Heavenly Demon Seed can be completely destroyed."
Yaohua hesitated for a moment, then shyly tugged at his corner of the clothes, "I... I read in an ancient book that dual cultivation can stimulate the power of the ancient god's blood. How about..."
Chongming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although he was tempted, he still refused for Yaohua's sake, "Whether this method works or not is another matter. I can't take you just for this reason."
Yaohua was rarely a bit coy, "Don't you want to dual cultivate with me?"
Chongming rubbed her head, "Be good. Don't think blindly."
Although Yaohua really wanted to use this method in her heart, since Chongming refused, she had no choice.
Since Chongming had no spiritual power on him now, it was impossible for him to return to the Heavenly Realm. So Yaohua took him back to Henan Mansion.
As soon as they entered the formation of Henan Mansion, General Chenyu rushed over quickly and smiled, "You two are finally back... Hmm?"
He flashed in front of Chongming and asked in shock, "Why do you have no spiritual power on you at all? Did the Divine Lord do this to you?"
Chongming shook his head, "I was just careless and was tricked by the Heavenly Demon."
This matter was not suitable to be spread. General Chenyu took the two of them back to the cave secretly and discussed it in detail.
After hearing the whole story, General Chenyu punched the table hard, "At such a critical moment, those two bastards, Zhao Wu and Qingque, still dare to entangle themselves in love affairs."
He glared at Yaohua and said irritably, "What kind of bad luck in love do you have?"
Yaohua smiled bitterly, "This is not what I wanted either. The most important thing now is to help Chongming get rid of the bondage of the Heavenly Demon Seed as soon as possible."
General Chenyu sighed heavily, "But the Heavenly Demon Seed can't be eradicated at all! Alright, I'll go and find another way..."
Just as Yaohua was about to tell the matter of dual cultivation, Chongming grabbed her hand.
She had no choice but to give up. After General Chenyu left, she asked aggrievedly, "Do you really not want to dual cultivate with me?"
Chongming stroked her hair, "I just don't want to delay you."
The method of using dual cultivation to break the Heavenly Demon Seed was unheard of. If he still couldn't destroy the Heavenly Demon Seed after dual cultivation, he was doomed to die. How could he ruin Yaohua's innocence?
Yaohua got up and left.
"Where are you going?" Chongming couldn't help but ask.
Yaohua said sullenly, "I'm not happy. I'm going out to relax."
After leaving the room, she immediately asked the system for the dual - cultivation method, copied it on a bamboo slip, and threw it on the path that General Chenyu must pass. Then she hid aside to watch his reaction.
General Chenyu picked up the bamboo slip, and his expression became a bit solemn, "The primordial yin of the phoenix... There's actually such a wonderful method in the world? I have to go and check the ancient books again."
As he said this, he glanced at the place where Yaohua was hiding and left with a smile.
In the next few days, Yaohua did her best to persuade Chongming.
