The master and disciple continued to search for Yaoyao. However, even after turning the entire Danxue Mountain upside down, they still couldn't find the little phoenix.
Yaohua continued the search with a worried look on her face. Her heart was filled with nervousness. Yaoyao was in an unfamiliar place. Where on earth could she have gone?
Just then, a woman came gracefully.
Yaohua squinted her eyes. The woman in front of her was wearing a gray - purple gorgeous dress. Her gorgeous appearance carried a hint of wild beauty. It was Princess Xunhuan, who had fought against her in the Cangling Hall before.
Princess Xunhuan bowed gracefully. "Xunhuan pays respects to you two."
Chongming glanced at her and said indifferently, "Who are you?"
Princess Xunhuan's smile froze instantly. She had been doted on in her clan since childhood. Everyone who had seen her was always deeply impressed. When had she ever been treated so coldly?
Moreover, she had done so much for Chongming. Had Chongming never remembered her at all? Or was it because Yaohua was beside him that he was too embarrassed to speak up?
Thinking of this, a feeling of grievance welled up in her heart, and she hated Yaohua even more.
But on the surface, she still said generously, "I once personally brewed a tonic soup for the deity. The deity even praised me for my ingenuity."
Chongming searched all his memories but couldn't recall any contact with this person.
Xunhuan smiled and said, "The deity is busy with important matters. Maybe you've already forgotten about it. You may not have thought that a casual compliment from you would be deeply remembered by someone for so many days."
Chongming didn't want to get entangled in this topic. He asked, "Aren't you in the Celestial Realm? What brings you here?"
"I want to be your disciple!" Xunhuan took out the token in her hand. "I gave some resources to Hu Meier. She has now decided to escape from the Celestial Realm and no longer be dragged down by her family. This token is a gift from her to thank me."
Chongming was a little surprised. "Really?"
Xunhuan's words were full of admiration. Even the system noticed it and clicked its tongue. "Another beauty has come in just a short while. I really don't know if Chongming is restoring his cultivation for himself or to enjoy the beauties in the palace."
How could Yaohua not feel jealous? But she still scolded in her heart, "Shut up! How dare you make random remarks about my master?"
After Xunhuan left, Chongming looked over.
Seeing that Yaohua was in a bad mood, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
Yaohua said angrily, "Think for yourself why I'm angry!"
Chongming was completely confused. He had no idea why Yaohua was angry.
Yaohua roared, "You don't even know why I'm angry. How can you say you like me? In my opinion, you simply don't care about me."
"Ah?"
Chongming was stunned. How did the topic suddenly turn to this?
Seeing his blank face, Yaohua felt a little soft - hearted. But in order to find out what the system was up to, she had to quarrel with Chongming.
Although Chongming didn't understand her intention, he quickly said, "Are you worried about Yaoyao? I..."
Yaohua snorted. "If you can't figure it out, don't sleep with me tonight."
At night, the candles in the room were flickering with a warm light.
Chongming stood beside the bed helplessly, holding the quilt.
Yaohua turned her back to ignore him. Seeing that he couldn't get forgiveness, he could only make a makeshift bed on the floor pitifully.
The system whispered, "Host, host?"
Seeing that Yaohua didn't respond, it began to secretly absorb the demonic qi from Chongming's body and sighed, "The sweetness of the immortal qi mixed in this demonic qi is really intoxicating!"
The next day, the system kept filling Yaohua's mind with bad things about Chongming.
Yaohua then said to Chongming, "I feel annoyed just looking at your face. You don't need to sleep on the floor anymore. Go and sleep in another room!"
Chongming was struck like thunder. He didn't expect to be disliked so soon.
The system was also dumbfounded. It had always secretly absorbed the demonic qi at night. Now that Chongming was sleeping in the side room, it couldn't absorb it at all!
It quickly changed its tune. "Host, isn't this a bit too much for you? All we said just now was just a suspicion, not a fact. You've made a conclusion without even asking him. Is that okay?"
Yaohua smiled faintly. "What's there to ask? Didn't you see clearly? Chongming is a fickle scoundrel. You told me all this."
The system quickly defended itself. "No no no. I've just found out that it's other female demons who are coveting his power and status, so they've been clinging to him. Chongming is innocent."
"Really? I don't believe it." Yaohua enjoyed watching its flustered appearance and found it very interesting.
"Alright then, I'll make up with him." She pretended to be in a difficult situation.
"No!" The system vetoed again. "Although he hasn't done anything too extreme, he does have some flaws. You have to help him recognize his mistakes."
Yaohua nodded and then walked away without even looking at Chongming.
In the next few days, although they were both looking for Yaoyao, they searched separately and didn't talk much.
Under such a cold war, Chongming almost always produced demonic qi when he fell asleep, which was absorbed by the system.
After the demonic qi in Chongming's body was absorbed, there were no side effects. When he woke up, his eyebrows were relaxed, and he was even more energetic than before going to sleep.
Just like this, the system sometimes sowed discord between them and sometimes acted as a persuader, making their relationship fluctuate. A large amount of demonic qi was thus produced and swallowed up by it.
It seemed that it was sowing discord just to absorb more demonic qi.
But Yaohua still felt something was wrong. "Master, have you felt any discomfort recently?"
Chongming shook his head. "No."
"Really?" Yaohua asked persistently.
Chongming hesitated for a moment. "If I have to say something uncomfortable - since the Heavenly Demon Seed entered my body, I've strongly felt that there's something in the south calling me. But maybe because the remaining extreme yang power of the phoenix in Danxue Mountain restrains the Heavenly Demon, this feeling has become weaker."
The call brought by the Heavenly Demon Seed must not be a good thing, Yaohua thought secretly. She just didn't know if the abnormal behavior of the system was related to this call.
Could it be that its absorption of the demonic qi was making the power of the Heavenly Demon Seed weaker and weaker?
Just then, a figure came from the horizon. It was Zhao Wu.
He landed and first scolded Chongming angrily. "You bastard! Take your hands off my fiancée quickly!"
"Zhao Wu, why are you here?" Yaohua was very surprised.
Zhao Wu said sourly, "What? Do you think I'm disturbing your world for two?"
His words were so sour that it seemed as if the air could drip with jealousy.
Yaohua quickly stood between them to prevent them from fighting. "Zhao Wu, didn't you defect to Zhao Yue? Why are you looking for me now? Have you been suspected by Zhao Yue?"
Zhao Wu raised his eyebrows. "What? Does this heartless person finally know how to care about others?"
His clothes were torn in several places, and there was a scar on his face. Anyone could tell that he had just experienced a fierce battle.
