Chapter 105

After returning to the Immortal Realm for a short month, Gu Bai had already guessed many things from the various signs and the relief carvings in the ancient tomb. He was prepared to face the truth, but when the real memories returned, everything from the past was still so heartbreaking.

Most of the memories that Yin Li had told him that day were true. He was indeed a puppet refined by Yin Li when he was still a cultivator, and had unexpectedly gained human intelligence.

Not only did he have human intelligence, but he was also the only puppet in the world with his own soul. Blessed by the heavens, he had the heaven-defying ability to control other puppets of the same level of cultivation.

Puppet helpers were a necessity for almost every cultivator. Whether it was in the Immortal World or the Immortal World, their existence was a threat to everyone.

Even if he had the support of the Immortal Emperor, the entire Immortal Realm rejected him. To be more precise, not only the Immortal Realm, but the entire Six Realms didn't accept his existence.

However, when Gu Bai was still Yin Baigu, he didn't notice everyone's thoughts. He just instinctively felt that everyone didn't like him.

As a puppet, although he had spiritual intelligence, he was different from a real person. He had a very high IQ, but his EQ was very low.

When it came to the human heart, even if he had followed Yin Li through the Immortal Realm and lived for thousands of years, his heart was still the same as his appearance. He was always seventeen or eighteen years old, and was as clear and transparent as a crystal.

The rejection of the Immortal Realm made him desperately want to become a real person of flesh and blood, but he didn't know how to do it. Until one day, Lu Yaoji told him.

"Baigu, do you really want to become a human?

I heard that the Demon Realm has a strange treasure called the Everlasting Flower. It has a powerful and mysterious power. If you can find it, maybe you can really become a real person of flesh and blood … "

"Really?"

At that time, he didn't understand that the human heart was complicated.

Other than Yin Li, only Lu Yaoji and Feng Siming were friends with him in the entire Immortal Realm. So when he saw Lu Yaoji nod with a smile, he didn't notice the strange look in his eyes.

Because a puppet's heart was different from a human's.

He had heard of the Demon Realm's Immortality Flower. It was the lifeline of the Demon Realm.

The Devil Race was different from the people of the Immortal World. Although they could also absorb the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth to improve their cultivation, the Devil Qi was the key. The Everlasting Flower was the source of the Devil Qi cycle in the entire Devil Realm.

Therefore, the Everlasting Flower was very important to the Demon Race. It was guarded by the Demon World's War Gods, and this generation's War God was Ye Cang.

He had heard of the name Ye Cang before because his cultivation was extremely high. No one knew exactly how deep his cultivation was, but someone once said that he could defeat the Monarch of the Six Realms by himself. It was also because of his existence that the Devil Realm was the most powerful realm among the Six Realms 3,000 years ago.

Although Gu Bai had the heaven-defying ability to control all the puppets in the world, it was only limited to puppets of the same cultivation level as himself. At that time, he was only a Monarch Immortal and could not be compared to the experts who dared to fight against the Six-Realm Monarch.

However, his desire to become a real person was too strong. This desire drove him to secretly leave the Immortal World and infiltrate the Devil Realm.

Although he was from the Immortal World, he was a puppet and did not have any Immortal Qi. After hiding his presence, he easily infiltrated the Devil Realm and found the Everlasting Flower at the Horizon of Heaven.

Just as the rumors said, the Everlasting Flower was guarded by the War God Ye Cang.

That was the first time he saw Ye Cang. No matter how much time had passed, the memory was still so clear.

Beside the Everlasting Flower, a man in black armor sat on the ground.

He leaned against a large rock with one leg straight and the other bent. His hand rested on his bent knee. The side profile of his face was handsome and resolute. His body exuded an indescribable pressure of an expert. Beside him was a ferocious Taotie monster.

The aura of an expert made him very afraid, but his desire to become a real person was even stronger. He did not dare to face it head-on, so he could only wander around the area all day, looking for an opportunity to strike. He only needed one petal.

Since he could not attack by force, he could only use his wits. Thus, he gathered his courage and poked his head out from behind the large rock. He cracked a smile and shouted.

"Are you the War God of Ye Cang?"

Only the heavens knew how scared he was at that time. After all, everyone said that the War God of the Devil Realm, Ye Cang, was very scary and cruel. Those who provoked him were all killed and fed to the Taotie monster beside him.

The man heard the commotion and looked back. The moment he saw him, a strange expression appeared on his face. As a puppet that was carefully carved by someone, he had a perfect and exquisite appearance. Almost everyone who saw him would have this expression on their face.

Beautiful and beautiful things would always receive more preferential treatment. It was also a kind of weapon. Even though Gu Bai did not have a high EQ when he was Yin Baigu, he still understood this principle.

When he was still in the Immortal World, he used this appearance to confuse many enemies. He made them think that he was a beautiful flower that could be easily bullied. Then, they let down their guard and lost to him.

Perhaps this was what Yin Li had in mind when he created him. Without a soul, puppets were only a 'weapon' in the hands of cultivators. It was normal for Yin Li to create such a weapon.

Because of this, Gu Bai dared to walk out and strike a conversation. Even if he failed to strike a conversation and was unable to defeat Ye Cang, he could still escape.

"Let's go!"

Just as he expected, Ye Cang did not make things difficult for him. He only said the word 'banish' and then looked away. The cold War God would not be easily bewitched.

However, whether it was the former Yin Baigu or the later Gu Bai, they were not people who would give up easily. Thus, Gu Bai continued to strike a conversation.

"Can I go over to your side?

I want to talk to you … … "

Gu Bai continued to stick his little head out. He stared straight at the man and blinked. His gaze was sincere and clear as he smiled.

That smile was very beautiful. When Ye Cang heard Gu Bai's voice and looked back, he could not help but feel his heart skip a beat. His hand that was stroking Taotie's fur tightened.

Taotie felt his master's movements and thought that he was angry. He stood up and was about to pounce and bite the man, but his tail was immediately pulled back.

"Come over … …" Ye Cang took a deep breath and allowed his heart to beat again. Only then did he speak coldly.

After receiving permission, Gu Bai happily came out from behind the rock. He ran over and squatted in front of the man. He curiously looked at the man and continued to smile.

"So that's what you look like. I've heard about you a long time ago. I've heard about you in the cultivation world. You've become even more powerful after ascending to the Demon Realm. Demon Realm War God. That sounds so impressive!"

Although Gu Bai had a high IQ and low EQ, this low EQ was only for himself. He was as clear and transparent as a crystal. He did not understand the true complexity of a person's heart.

However, as a puppet that had lived for thousands of years, it had learned how to flatter very well. Coupled with its smiling face, it was hard for anyone to dislike it.

Although Ye Cang did not speak, he looked at Gu Bai and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"You came here just to flatter this Lord?

Who are you? Don't you know that this is a forbidden area?

What are you doing here … … "

"I'm here to look for you. I've admired you for a long time. My name is Baigu. Yin Baigu. Would you like to get to know me?"

At that time, he tried to seduce her without batting an eyelid.

He naively thought that he was very smart. He actually came up with such a good idea. He thought that once they were familiar with each other, he would ask for the flower petals. It would be much easier!

However, he did not expect that he would fail to achieve his goal. Instead, he would fall into his trap … …

As the rumors said, Ye Cang was a very cold person. It was not easy to get close to him and gain his favor.

Although the other party did not kill him for trespassing on the forbidden area, his attitude was very cold. He did not fall into his trap the first time they met.

However, he would not give up. If he did not succeed today, then he would try again tomorrow. He did not leave. He thickened his skin and stayed.

In any case, there was nothing to do in the Celestial Realm. His master was in seclusion, so there was no one to discipline him. He could arrange his own time. If he did not settle this cold man, then he would not be called Yin Baigu. He would read his name backwards!

Thus, he began to circle around the man every day. He thought of all kinds of ways to get close to him and gain his favor. However, the man was really too difficult to deal with. He was completely unmoved.

He was helpless. The other party was not amenable to coaxing, and he did not have the courage to use force. Just as he was about to give up and accept his fate of reading his name backwards, the other party saw his drooping ears like a pitiful abandoned puppy. Suddenly, he loosened up.

"Don't play games in front of this Lord. Speak. Why did you come here to curry favor with this Lord?"

"… …"

He wanted to say it, but he did not dare to. He was aiming for the Demon Realm's lifeblood. The man was unmoved by force or persuasion. If he said it out loud, would he be beaten to death?

He was very distressed, but in the end, under his desire to become a real person, he braced himself and spoke softly.

"Lord Immortal Ye Cang, can, can you give me a petal of the Everlasting Flower?"

As soon as he said this, the surrounding air froze.

The man stared at him with burning eyes. The Taotie beside him also straightened its spine and made an attacking posture. The Everlasting Flower was the lifeblood of the Demon Realm. How could it be given away so easily?

"I only want a petal. It will not harm the Everlasting Flower's foundation. I heard that it will automatically wither and bloom once every ten thousand years. I don't want a fresh one. Just give me a withered one. I can give you something in exchange … If that's not possible, then forget it. I, I don't want it."

At that time, Gu Bai naturally understood this principle. The strong pressure made him afraid. He took a step back and hurriedly explained.

In the end, he looked at the drooling Taotie and stuttered. Although he really wanted to become a real person, he did not want to be fed to a Taotie.

Even though he had lived for a thousand years and accompanied Yin Li through the dangerous Immortal Cultivation World, he only had a cultivation base. His mentality and personality were still like his appearance. He would never be enlightened. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old. At this moment, in the face of danger, he could not keep a straight face.

Ye Cang stared at him trying to straighten his back and not lose his imposing manner, but stuttering in fear. He did not know why, but his heart skipped a beat.

He stared at the youth for a long while, then took out a petal wrapped in Demon Qi to keep it fresh. Then, a playful smile appeared on his face.

"You just said that you can give something in exchange, but this Everlasting Flower is the most precious treasure of the Demon Realm. What do you have that has the same value as it?"

This question was difficult for him. He usually collected many treasures, but there was really nothing that could be exchanged with the same value as the Everlasting Flower.

So he could only say with a worried expression, "I don't have anything at the moment. But tell me what treasure you want in exchange. I'll help you find it …"

"I don't lack treasures, but I lack a person …"

These words seemed to poke at the man's heart. The man's cold smile deepened.

Under his inexplicable gaze, the other party strode over and reached out to grab his waist. He brought him in front of him, pinched his chin, and kissed him.

The taste was as good as imagined. Ye Cang tightly held his waist, sucked on his lips, and forcefully and gently stole the sweetness in his mouth.

The people of the Demon Race always did things according to their hearts. They did not follow the rules. He wanted to kiss him, so he did. This was the strength of the Demon Race.

Gu Bai would never forget the scene that day. He could not describe what kind of feeling it was. He only felt his heart stop, his body stiffen, his head become dizzy, and he could not breathe.

Only when the other party stopped to let him catch his breath and licked his dark red and wet lips from time to time did he react in a domineering manner. "Yin Baigu, from today onwards, you're mine!"

He suddenly pushed the other party away. He covered his mouth and stared with wide eyes at the person who was smiling happily and forcefully in front of him. He could not describe what he was feeling. He only felt his heart, which had stopped just now, suddenly beat wildly. Then, he turned around and ran away.

That day, he did not achieve his goal of coming to the Demon Realm. Instead, he was branded with a hot mark on his lips by the people here. A seed was planted in his heart, waiting to be watered and germinated.
