    “I really can’t stand her. Luckily, I didn’t share a room with her last night. Did you all hear the commotion last night? Was she fighting with the bed in her room, making such a racket? I’d rather share a room with Gong Qiu than be with her.”

    Gong Qiu hugged himself in terror, “Senior Sister!”

    “Shut up.”

    Huai Ying waved his hand, “Forget it, it’s not like we don’t know her personality.”

    Zhu Wan’er still felt she had to vent, “She probably hasn’t even noticed, but Senior Brother is completely disappointed in her. She thinks Senior Brother is just being gentle by not saying anything. Honestly, how did she even grow up with a brain like that? If it weren’t for Senior Brother and the Great Elder, she wouldn’t be able to live peacefully in the Immortal Sect with that personality…”

    Huai Ying smiled, “What’s wrong, Junior Sister Wan’er? You seem to hold a deep grudge against her?”

    Zhu Wan’er paused, then said, “Well, Senior Sister Qi Yun and I are quite close, and I know some of the things Su Rou has done to her.”

    Huai Ying understood, so that’s how it was.

    Qi Yun could almost be said to be the most outstanding female disciple in their batch, and she was beautiful. Naturally, Su Rou was constantly being compared to her.

    Su Rou, with her very ordinary Cultivation Base, naturally fell short in this regard, so she often tried to disgust Qi Yun in various ways.

    On the other side, Yun Xia and Mo Jun Zhou were indeed still on the ground. Yun Xia didn’t want to go back so early, so he dragged Mo Jun Zhou around outside the city.

    They didn’t enter the city. Within the Red Glow Territory, it was very safe, so there was a small village outside the city.

    The two of them were surrounded as soon as they entered the village, and the hospitable villagers even invited them to be guests.

    With Yun Xia, the social butterfly, around, they naturally weren’t afraid. He chatted enthusiastically with the people, pulling Mo Jun Zhou along, and even helped a few elderly people with some chores.

    Mo Jun Zhou was very unaccustomed to it at first. He had never interacted with these people before, let alone done these things.

    But later, he accepted it and silently did the work behind Yun Xia.

    To the point where an old man pulled Yun Xia aside and asked him, “Young man, is your friend unhappy?”

    Yun Xia smiled and went over to Mo Jun Zhou, calling him “Mr. Unhappy.”

    Facing the worried old men in the distance and Yun Xia, who was smiling mischievously and waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

    Mo Jun Zhou was a little at a loss. The muscles in his face twitched unnaturally, as if he wanted to smile but couldn’t.

    Yun Xia was even more amused. He turned around and said to the old men, “Don’t worry, and don’t look at him. He’s just shy.”

    Then he was “angrily” dragged away by Mo Jun Zhou.

    The two of them “played” on the ground until dusk, when the sun was setting.

    It was time for them to go back.

    At the edge of a golden rice field, Yun Xia faced the setting sun, his hair flying in the wind.

    The golden light shone on him, and from behind, he looked as if he were standing in a sea of golden waves, as beautiful as a painting.

    Hearing the sound, the person who had been concentrating on the scenery turned around and gave Mo Jun Zhou a bright smile, “How is it? Is this kind of pastoral life interesting?”

    Mo Jun Zhou walked to his side and stood still, also looking at the scenery in front of them. Many people were still working in the fields, occasionally looking up at them.

    “Do you like it?”

    “Hmm…” Yun Xia pinched his chin and thought, “It’s quite interesting to experience it occasionally, but I can’t live like this for a long time. I still prefer a richer, freer life.”

    Mo Jun Zhou didn’t speak.

    The fiery clouds on the horizon became more and more “vigorous.” This kind of scene could not exist in the Demon Realm. The golden light seemed to scorch Mo Jun Zhou’s heart.

    “Do you like the Demon Realm or here?” he said.

    Yun Xia was still thinking about the answer to this question because he had a feeling that Mo Jun Zhou cared about it very much.

    “When we return to the Immortal Realm, the Demon Nucleus in your body will be processed and transformed back into an Immortal Pill. After that, you won’t be able to return to the Demon Realm, right?”

    Yun Xia was stunned and turned to look at Mo Jun Zhou.

    But Mo Jun Zhou wasn’t looking at him, nor was he looking at the setting sun that could be directly looked at.

    He walked to a tree next to him, half of his face hidden in the shadows, making it impossible for Yun Xia to see his expression clearly.

    Yun Xia pondered for a while, then said, “As far as I know, the environment of the Demon Realm is extremely special. Unlike the Immortal Realm and the Human Realm, which share a single landmass, it is separated from the other two Realms by a barrier. Cultivators and humans cannot live in the Demon Realm for a long time because they will be eroded by the Demonic Energy.”

    Mo Jun Zhou: “Mm.”

    “Can demons live here for a long time?”

    Mo Jun Zhou: “Yes, but they will become weak.”

    “What about going back occasionally?”

    “…It should be possible.”

    Yun Xia smiled, “I have another question. Do stronger people have less need for the Demon Realm or Demonic Energy?”

    “That’s right.”

    “Then.” Yun Xia walked in front of Mo Jun Zhou, grabbed his hand, and pulled him out of the shadows, so that his whole body was bathed in the setting sun.

    “If someone as strong as the Demon Lord, does he still need Demonic Energy?”

    Two very bright lights were reflected in Mo Jun Zhou’s pupils. They were the setting sun, but they also reflected Yun Xia’s face.

    Mo Jun Zhou was dazed for a moment for some reason.

    “Demon Lord? Being able to become a Demon Lord means breaking through a certain limit. He should no longer be bound by Demonic Energy.”

    Yun Xia held back his laughter and put on an adoring look, “Wow, that’s amazing. He’s not subject to any constraints, so he can go wherever he wants? Is there only one person like that in the entire Demon Realm?”

    Mo Jun Zhou frowned almost imperceptibly, “Even if he’s not the Demon Lord, he can still go wherever he wants.”

    “Oh, you know what I mean. I mean complete freedom. Only the Demon Lord can have complete freedom, right?”

    “No one is completely free. As the Demon Lord, there must be constraints. Ruling over an entire demon race, how free can he be? I think the current Demon Realm is much more stable than before. Esteemed Lord must be sitting in the Demon Palace, making it difficult to leave casually. Tell me, is he as free as I am now?”

    Yun Xia bit his tongue to stop himself from laughing. This was so interesting!

    But he was right. Although the former Demon Lord had everything, he was in charge of such a large Demon Realm that he was busy all day long. In the study of the Demon Palace, he had seen that person’s figure dealing with affairs countless times.

    He even had a Prohibition Art on his body that prevented him from leaving the Demon Realm.

    Fortunately, that Prohibition Art was gone, and he was truly free at this time.

    Thinking of this, Yun Xia was really happy and couldn’t help but smile sincerely.

    But this made Mo Jun Zhou misunderstand. Mo Jun Zhou choked and said, “What are you laughing at? What’s so good about that? Didn’t you say you like freedom?”

    “I do like freedom, but that’s the Demon Lord, the supreme of the Demon Realm. He’s too amazing. He’s not only good-looking, but he’s also very powerful, and his aura is even more awesome. No one can make any small movements under his gaze. I’ve never seen anyone like him. By the way, have I told you that I used to work in the Demon Palace?”

    Yun Xia had certainly told Mo Jun Zhou this, but the Demon Palace was too big. Yun Xia only told him that he held a small, unimportant position.

    “So what?”

    “What’s wrong with you? Why has your tone suddenly become so hard?” Yun Xia deliberately said.

    Mo Jun Zhou didn’t answer his question, but asked, “Have you seen the Demon Lord?”

    Yun Xia: “Of course I’ve seen him. Not only me, but you’ve also seen him. Otherwise, who do you think gave you the title of Venerable Li Yu?”

    Mo Jun Zhou didn’t speak.

    “Do you want to know what my attitude and feelings are towards Esteemed Lord?”

    Mo Jun Zhou turned his face away: “I don’t want to know.”

    “Really? As a demon, you’re not interested in the Demon Lord? That’s very strange. You haven’t even asked me about the Demon Lord.”

    Yun Xia walked in front of Mo Jun Zhou, and Mo Jun Zhou turned in another direction. Yun Xia followed him and turned with him, determined to stay in front of him.

    “I…” It wasn’t that Mo Jun Zhou wasn’t interested in the Demon Lord. He had even wanted to know about him for a long time. After all, that was the most powerful existence in the Demon Realm. And Mo Jun Zhou knew best how much change it would take for the Demon Realm to become like this. Without a capable Demon Lord, it would be impossible to unify such a chaotic Demon Realm.

    But at that time, he only had Yun Xia by his side, and he didn’t want to ask Yun Xia about these things.

    And now, he didn’t want to ask even more.

    “The Demon Lord is the Demon Lord, the supreme of the Demon Realm. What’s there to ask?” For some reason, Mo Jun Zhou felt vaguely unwilling.

    “Is that so? Then aren’t you curious about what the Demon Lord is like in my eyes? Although I’m insignificant, I can still say a few words in front of the Demon Lord.”

    Mo Jun Zhou: “…”

    To be honest, this did surprise him, but he didn’t want to admit it.

    “Oh, so it seems that the Demon Lord is quite easy to see. Even a small fry like you can see him casually.”

    “Why does that sound so sour? You clearly like Esteemed Lord very much.”

    “I like Esteemed… Why would I?”

    “Because Esteemed Lord likes me very much.”

    Mo Jun Zhou: “…………”

    “I have such a good personality and I’m so good at interacting with people that even Esteemed Lord can’t resist me. Of course, he likes me.”

    “…”

    “And look, you and I are very familiar. Esteemed Lord likes me, so of course you also love Esteemed Lord because of me. Look, it makes sense.”

    Not at all!

    He said irritably, “That can’t be because of you.”

    He was so sure that Yun Xia was strange instead, “Why?”

    Mo Jun Zhou didn’t say anything, no matter how Yun Xia asked him.

    Finally, the sun set in Yun Xia’s noisy chatter, and it got dark.

    “It’s time to go back. Let’s go.”

    “Mm.”

    “I’m a little reluctant to part with this kind of scenery, but the Immortal Realm also has sunsets, so I can see them the same way.”

    Yun Xia walked in front and insisted on turning around to ask Mo Jun Zhou to hold his hand.

    “Let’s just go, what are you pulling for?”

    “It’s not easy to walk here. The ground is uneven. What if you sprain your ankle?”

    “…” Mo Jun Zhou didn’t want to give him his hand.

    As a result, Yun Xia himself stepped on a protruding stone because he didn’t look carefully, and his body tilted uncontrollably to the side.

    Seeing this, Mo Jun Zhou grabbed his hand, “Look where you’re going!”

    Yun Xia didn’t care at all, “It’s okay, aren’t you watching me? I’m not worried at all.”

    Mo Jun Zhou choked, “I won’t always…”

    “Mm?”

    “Nothing.”

    The two of them walked hand in hand from the village, and they happened to meet the farmer woman who sold snacks before, but the farmer woman just looked at them curiously a few times and walked to the side to ask the people in the village. There was no other reaction.

    Yun Xia naturally didn’t say anything either. He greeted the old men and left.

    “Dad, who are those two people? Young masters from the city?”

    “Which young master would come and help me with my work? They are two kind young men with very good feelings for each other.”
