"I, the prince, have promised to cure him. I will never go back on my word. You may rest assured."
Feng Yunshu looked into Helan Yanting's earnest eyes and listened to his irresistible tone. Finally, she withdrew the spiritual power she had released.
"Your Highness, what's your plan?"
"I have my own tricks." Helan Yanting replied mysteriously. Then he ordered Ziyuan beside him, "Take your young lady back to the camp and let her have a good rest."
Hearing this, Ziyuan hesitated and looked at Feng Yunshu. She was in a difficult position at this moment. Caught between the young lady and the young master, she might easily end up offending both sides.
This time, Feng Yunshu didn't insist on staying. She obediently followed Helan Yanting's order and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Ziyuan reluctantly followed Feng Yunshu. She couldn't help thinking that her young lady was so obedient only in front of Prince Helan. No wonder the old saying always goes that every one has his natural enemy. This saying is really true.
After Feng Yunshu left, the gentleness on Helan Yanting's face gradually faded away. Instead, he looked at Chang Ying with a particularly serious expression.
"Chang Ying, why are you here?"
Hearing this, Chang Ying couldn't help trembling all over. The next moment, he was extremely excited and overjoyed. He was almost jumping up from the spot.
"Master, you... you remember! You remember everything?!"
Helan Yanting looked at him calmly and then nodded. "Sort of."
"Great! Master, you've finally regained your memory!" Chang Ying clapped his hands excitedly. "I knew that one day you would remember everything. I didn't expect this day to come so soon. It's really an exciting piece of good news!"
"You haven't answered my question yet."
"Master, Chang Ying came to this other world to look for you! Before, you were hunted down by the Liuxian Sect and other immortal cultivation sects. Chang Ying was hit and fainted during the battle. When I woke up, I found myself lying under a cliff. I couldn't find you anywhere."
"After inquiring around, Chang Ying learned that you were actually suppressed by those hypocritical immortal cultivators in the Liuxian Sect. Chang Ying was just an eagle monster who had barely cultivated an inner core after years of practice. I was almost killed by an accidental injury in a great battle. If it weren't for the trace of demonic aura you left when you passed by, Chang Ying would never have been what I am today."
"Therefore, when I heard that you were suppressed, I wanted to go to the Liuxian Sect to rescue you, but I was strongly obstructed by them. Just when I thought I was about to die, suddenly everything went black in front of my eyes. When I woke up, I was in this place. Because I sensed your aura in this other world, Chang Ying has been disguising as a mortal to look for you."
Helan Yanting was silent for a moment after listening, and then slowly said, "How could you recognize my identity?"
"At first, Chang Ying wasn't sure either. Because you now look like an ordinary mortal. But when Chang Ying saw your words and deeds, I felt extremely familiar... Later, when I saw you emit the demonic aura, I finally confirmed that it was really you, Master!"
Helan Yanting nodded thoughtfully. "Well, has the news that I came to this other world spread in the Immortal and Demon Continent?"
"This..."
Chang Ying paused and then nodded. "The news spreads very fast in the Immortal and Demon Continent. The news that you escaped from the Liuxian Sect spread quickly. But everyone doesn't know where you've gone and where you're hiding."
"Do you know if there are any other demons in this other world besides you?"
"This..." This question really stumped Chang Ying. "Chang Ying found the military camp soon after coming to this other world. I haven't been to other places since then. So I don't know if there are any. But Chang Ying dares to guess that there must be other demons on this other world's continent."
"You were saved by a trace of demonic aura I accidentally left. So you're very sensitive to my aura, right?"
Chang Ying nodded. "Master is right. Chang Ying is indeed more sensitive to your aura than others."
"Good." Helan Yanting nodded. He looked at the scene outside the camp meaningfully and said, "You stay. Help me find the other six souls that are lost."
"Are all your six souls...?" Chang Ying was shocked. He was very surprised by the information Helan Yanting gave. "That means there's only one soul left in your current body?"
Helan Yanting nodded with a solemn expression. "Yes. This is a top - secret matter and must not be spread outside."
Chang Ying quickly nodded. "Naturally! Chang Ying will surely keep it a secret and help you find the other six souls as soon as possible!"
While speaking, the doubts in Chang Ying's heart that had been there for a long time were finally solved. At first, he was wondering why the great Demon Lord, although living in a mortal body, wouldn't have his abilities weakened so much. Now he thought it was because only one soul was left in the body.
After this conversation, Helan Yanting got answers to the things he cared about. Now there was still an important matter.
"If I'm not wrong just now, you were going to use your magic power to dredge Qingzhu's meridians, right?"
Chang Ying nodded. "Yes, Master. You're right. That's exactly what I was going to do."
"You continue to do what you didn't finish just now and treat his wounds. Although I don't have any special feelings for him, after all, he saved Yunshu first. Naturally, I can't let anything happen to him. Otherwise, Yunshu will surely feel guilty."
Hearing this, Chang Ying quickly nodded. "Yes, Chang Ying will do as you say!"
Before he was about to start, Chang Ying paused his hand movements and hesitated as he looked at Helan Yanting.
Seeing his hesitant look, Helan Yanting said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Master, since you've regained your memory, you should remember the past... Chang Ying is just a little curious. Have you really taken a fancy to the young lady of the Feng family? What's so special about her... Or do you keep her by your side for some other purpose?"
"When I find the six souls and return to the Demon Realm, she will be the Demon Lord's wife, and she will be the only one."
Hearing this, Chang Ying was startled. He could naturally tell that his master was not joking.
"But Master, you—" Chang Ying was really puzzled. Had his master really let go of the ancient god he had been obsessed with for thousands of years after coming to this other world?
Helan Yanting seemed to know what he was going to say. Before Chang Ying could finish, he interrupted him. "You just mind your own business. Don't ask about things that you shouldn't."
Helan Yanting's cold words made Chang Ying feel nervous. He quickly nodded. "Master is right to teach me a lesson! Chang Ying will never overstep the mark and talk too much again. Please forgive Chang Ying's rudeness!"
"I'll leave Qingzhu's wound to you. I have other things to deal with."
After saying that, Helan Yanting turned around and left the camp. Chang Ying stood there looking at his master's departing back. Thinking of his master's affectionate words and deeds towards Feng Yunshu, Chang Ying still felt a bit dazed.
Somehow, he always felt that his master had changed a lot compared with before. He was no longer the Demon Lord Zhushan who had been lonely and cold for thousands of years.
