Chong Ming shook his head, indicating that he didn't feel aggrieved at all.
Yao Hua's nose tingled. "It's all because I like to cause trouble that you've suffered so much."
Chong Ming laughed. "Silly girl, there will eventually be a battle between the Celestial Realm and the Demon Race. I'm bound to be the key target of the Heavenly Demon. I was just outmatched this time. How can I blame you?"
As they talked, a silent affection flowed between them, which was extremely annoying to Zhao Wu.
He flicked his sleeve, snorted, and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Yao Hua quickly grabbed him. "Hey, do you know how to break the curse?"
Without even looking back, Zhao Wu said coldly, "There's no way to break the Heavenly Demon Seed. Unless the host dies. That's what happened to you. He can live a few more days because of his Ancient God bloodline. Just enjoy the last days."
He spoke too quickly. Yao Hua turned pale as if struck by lightning, and big tears rolled down her face.
Chong Ming comforted her. "Silly girl, why are you crying?"
Seeing this, Zhao Wu couldn't help feeling a bit regretful. "Don't cry yet. I'll think of a way."
Yao Hua sobbed softly. Hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes. "What other way is there?"
Zhao Wu saw that her emotions fluctuated greatly as soon as Chong Ming was mentioned, which showed how much she valued Chong Ming in her heart, while she ignored him. He couldn't help feeling mixed emotions.
He wanted to harden his heart and ignore her, but he finally lost to her tearful eyes. He resignedly lifted his sleeve to wipe away her tears. "Don't cry. The core of the formation on Chong Ming's body is his Ancient God bloodline and spiritual power. As long as they can firmly suppress the Heavenly Demon Seed, he can live forever."
Yao Hua asked, "Then what should we do? Now his spiritual power and the Heavenly Demon Seed are both sealed. Once he cultivates his spiritual power, the Heavenly Demon Seed will be released. So it's impossible for his cultivation to increase now."
Zhao Wu said reluctantly, "Besides cultivating to increase spiritual power, we can also rely on external forces."
Chong Ming pondered. "Do you mean that I should look for a place with rich spiritual energy?"
"The Heavenly Demon Seed is restrained by yang energy. So as long as you find an extremely yang place and never leave, the Heavenly Demon Seed will be suppressed forever."
After Zhao Wu finished speaking, he left.
"An extremely yang place..." Yao Hua murmured. "Apart from Mount Danxue, it's the Bright Palace on the top of Mount Kunlun."
"What are you two talking about?"
Princess Xun Huan came from the horizon, enthusiastic and generous.
Yao Hua was slightly surprised. "Why are you still here?"
Princess Xun Huan looked at Chong Ming affectionately. "I came here to ask the God, have you thought it over about what I proposed yesterday?"
Chong Ming shook his head. "Please go back."
Princess Xun Huan pleaded, "I've known the God's great reputation since I was a child. I also know that the God loves his disciple the most. So I've always admired you very much. Can't you really give me a chance?"
Yao Hua was annoyed by her coquettish and affected appearance. When they pushed her into the well last time, this so - called Princess Xun Huan had laughed very heartily.
She complained, "Since you know that my master loves his disciple the most, you should also know that I'm his most beloved disciple. But last time you dared to throw me into the well openly. It shows that your admiration for him is not much."
Xun Huan didn't expect her to expose her in public. Her face turned pale. She endured the resentment in her heart and said pitifully, "Sister Yao Hua, how can you say that? I was wrong about last time. I've already known my mistake."
Then, she bowed deeply to Chong Ming. "Please, God, understand. The matter of Princess Yao Hua falling into the well last time was planned by them together. If I didn't obey, they would throw me in too. I'm just a nobody and can't protect myself. I really had no way to save her."
Chong Ming waved his hand. "Got it. Go back."
"Is the God still not willing to accept me as a disciple? Why? Is it because I'm stupid?" Although Xun Huan's tone was weak and pitiful, her attitude was persistent.
Chong Ming said bluntly, "Yao Hua doesn't like you, so I won't accept you."
Yao Hua was originally annoyed by Xun Huan's pestering. Hearing this, her mood immediately turned from gloomy to sunny. She happily hugged his arm. "Master is so nice."
Hearing this, Xun Huan's expression almost cracked. The hatred in her heart grew deeper. What was she inferior to Yao Hua?
But on the surface, she still pretended to be pitiful and seemingly inadvertently showed the scars on her hand. "I know you won't easily believe me. But if the God doesn't save me, I'll be bullied to death by those people!"
Yao Hua and Chong Ming looked at her arm and saw that it was full of scars. Some had scabbed over, and some were newly made.
Seeing that she had successfully attracted their attention, Xun Huan couldn't help feeling secretly happy. She knelt on one knee on the ground. "Please, God, accept me as your disciple. I don't dare to expect the same treatment as Yao Hua. Even if you accept me as an outer - door disciple, it's okay!"
Seeing Chong Ming's hesitant expression, she seized the opportunity and said, "Or the God can let me be an ordinary cleaning servant. Whatever it is, I don't want to be bullied by those people anymore!"
Yao Hua asked suspiciously, "The Wolf Clan is not a small clan. Judging from your clothes, you're quite well - off. How dare they bully you?"
As far as she knew, among the princesses selected by the God - Lord to participate in the apprentice - accepting ceremony, there were many herbivores, such as the Rabbit Clan and the Deer Clan.
People are all bullies of the weak and afraid of the strong. They usually target herbivores first. How could they target the princess of the Wolf Clan?
And Xun Huan was still so bright and generous after being bullied, which was really a bit strange.
But before she could figure out what was strange, Xun Huan showed an embarrassed look. "Don't you believe me? Princess Yao Hua, you were born a proud daughter of the Phoenix Clan. Naturally, you can't understand the difficulties of us little demons."
She then looked at Chong Ming. "Princess Yao Hua has suspected me several times. It's just because she thinks I'll take the God away. But although I admire the God, I know my limits. I won't want to be your disciple just because I love you. Please rest assured, God. I'll never destroy the relationship between you two."
Her words were reasonable. Even Chong Ming was persuaded. "I'll think about it. You can go back first."
Xun Huan breathed a sigh of relief and got up to leave.
Yao Hua said sullenly, "You're really popular! So many princesses want to have more contact with you."
Chong Ming laughed. "What they think is their business. Besides, aren't you also very popular?"
Yao Hua thought of Zhao Wu who had just left and blushed. She quickly changed the topic. "Let's go to Mount Danxue first."
Since the Phoenix Clan moved away, Mount Danxue had become extremely desolate. Only the scattered crops and the Chinese parasol tree forest that hadn't been taken away in time showed that the Phoenix Clan had once lived here.
Chong Ming felt the demonic energy in his body being gradually suppressed and couldn't help breathing a sigh of relief.
Yao Hua also relaxed her brows and affectionately threw herself into his arms.
