Lan Xi nodded upon hearing the words.

Her silence made the golden skeleton anxious, and it hastily seized a newly matured Blood Third Seven from the Blood Sea, presenting it before Lan Xi.

Gazing at the child kneeling at her feet, Lan Xi nodded with satisfaction, "Blood Third Seven, who has cultivated for a million years, are you willing to leave with me?"

"I-I-I..." The child trembled with fear.

Rong Feng was speechless, as it was obvious the child would not be willing. In such a place, Blood Third Seven could obtain plenty of nourishment.

If it went to the Immortal Realm, it would be left with nothing to sustain itself.

"Willing, how could it not be willing? It would be an honor to follow Your Highness Lan Xi," the golden skeleton quickly agreed.

Lan Xi nodded with satisfaction, "Then good, I will take you. And while we’re at it, gift these few plants to me as well."

With a wave of her hand, Lan Xi instantly pulled up seven or eight Blood Third Seven plants from the edge of the Blood Sea, taking them along with the child into the Blood Jade.

She was not one to hold back, after all, she could not predict what might happen in the future.

If she had to come and collect Blood Third Seven every time there was an incident, it would be too time-consuming and troublesome, and it could be dangerous if she encountered the Demon Lord.

Having these Blood Third Seven essences would make things much more convenient in the future when needed.

Having obtained the Blood Third Seven, Lan Xi no longer lingered and quickly left, grabbing Rong Feng with her.

In the Black Forest outside the Demon Palace.

Lan Xi set down Rong Feng, looking at the man kneeling on the ground with a pleading face, and spoke in a stern tone, "Rong Feng, I am giving you an opportunity to redeem yourself and start anew, are you willing?"

"Uh?" Rong Feng was unsure of Lan Xi’s intentions and did not dare to agree outright. He had led a million Demon Soldiers in a failed battle against the Immortal Realm.

The Demon Lord would certainly not let him off easily, and he had also sinned against the Immortal Realm, becoming a rat that neither realm could tolerate.

He truly did not understand Lan Xi’s intentions.

"Now I am off to save the Crown Prince and my senior brother, to retrieve the Qiankun Gu. As long as you help me avoid the Demon Lord and obtain the Divine Artifact, I will accept you as my disciple. Though you are despicable, I am not afraid. I doubt you would dare to cross me in my presence."

"What? Is this for real?" Rong Feng stared in disbelief, feeling as if a huge pie had just smacked him in the face.

But in an instant, he fell dejectedly to the ground, "I fear I will disappoint you. For over ten thousand years, I have cultivated Demonic Technique, and all of my Spirit Roots have been taken over by the Demon root; I no longer have any way to become an immortal."

As he said this, his fox-like eyes revealed a deep sorrow. All of these consequences were self-inflicted, yet he had never regretted his choices.

"You really underestimate the power of a Goddess," Lan Xi shook her round fan, looking up towards the Demon Palace.

"As long as we successfully retrieve the Divine Artifact and rescue the people, you will be my disciple, Lan Xi.

From now on, I will help you purify your Spirit Roots that have been contaminated by the Demonic Technique, and give you a brand new future. "

"Really?" Rong Feng was still somewhat disbelieving that Lan Xi would do this, especially since his reputation was so foul that he angered gods and men alike.

No one in the Immortal Realm would be willing to accept him.

"You have three seconds to decide! If not, then forget it!" Lan Xi had never seen someone be so indecisive.

"One... Three!"

Rong Feng’s face darkened, who on earth counted by skipping two and going straight to three?

He didn’t even have time to think properly! "I agree!"

Only then did Lan Xi look at him with satisfaction, handing him the round fan and speaking, "I will wait inside the Blood Jade. When it’s time for me to appear, I will show myself. Your primary task is to locate the Qiankun Gu and the place where the Crown Prince is imprisoned."

Lan Xi’s words fell, and she had already vanished from sight.

Holding the fan, Rong Feng felt as if he was dreaming. Had he just been bought over by Lan Xi?

He was a disciple of the Demon Lord!

Nevertheless, after struggling internally for a while, he finally made a decision.

He was an immortal, and only under extreme circumstances would he have become a disciple of the Demon Lord.

No one wants to leave their home and become a pawn in someone else’s game.

Lan Xi’s strength was there for all to see, and it seemed he didn’t need to think too hard about it, his choice appeared to be the right one.

The space inside the Blood Jade was as large as a hundred li wide, with green mountains and rivers, and rich in Spiritual Energy.

She entered the Blood Jade and went straight to the ice bed.

Thereupon, without hesitation, she took out the Seven-Colored Immortal Soil and ordinary Blood Third Seven, merged them, and then evenly applied them to the chest and back of the man in black.

Soon enough, the wounds that had struggled to heal for so long were closing at a rate visible to the naked eye, and finally the skin returned to its original state.

Very carefully, Lan Xi tightened his waistband and helped him tidy up his appearance once again.

"Ah Qing! Once I save the Crown Prince and my senior brother, and find the Soul Gathering Lamp, I will take you back to No-return Valley.

From now on, that will be our territory.

Are you happy?" Lan Xi crouched beside the man in black, looking at his pale face that was white as jade, with a longing smile on her lips.

However, not a single sound filled the space, and the man lying on the ice bed was motionless, not even his eyelashes fluttering.

Lan Xi gradually stood up, her expression turning cold as ice.

She would never forget the moment he swung his sword at her.

Her Ah Qing was so foolish, foolish to the point it pained her heart, yet she adored him!

True to her intuition, he was the one she had taken a liking to at first sight, and only he was worthy to accompany her for a lifetime.

"Giggle giggle!"

Suddenly, Lan Xi heard a clattering sound of teeth.

Following the sound, she found a rotund figure in the grass not far away.

The Spirit Root had cultivated for a million years, several dozen times her senior.

It should have been a person of great wisdom, yet it was a timid, cowardly, and trouble-fearing little devil.

Such a unique creature probably hadn’t been bullied little in the Blood Demon Sea, after all, it was just an herb, not anything rare in the Demon Realm.

"Do you have a name?" Lan Xi asked indifferently, standing before it.

The Spirit Root promptly knelt down, prostrating at Lan Xi’s feet, trembling with a childish voice, "No... not yet!"

"Since you’ve followed me, you must obey my commands.

From now on, you’ll be called Seventh Unit.

Your duty is to take care of him when I’m not around," Lan Xi said with a stern face and an extremely earnest voice.

"He is a very important person by my side, currently under a sleeping curse due to some reasons. Can you do that?"

"Yes, yes..." Seventh Unit nodded rapidly, like a pounding garlic.

Lan Xi, with satisfaction, said, "If you do your part, Your Highness will not mistreat you. Even though you were born in the Blood Demon Sea, it has no more effect on you with your current level of cultivation. Stay by my side, and I guarantee your cultivation will double within a thousand years."

Upon hearing Lan Xi’s words, Seventh Unit’s shoulders twitched and its eyes started to sparkle.

Lan Xi did not elaborate further but began to pay attention to Rong Feng’s movements. Although Seventh Unit appeared to be a tender child, it could surely keep its accounts clear. It would naturally understand the importance she had mentioned and would weigh things up on its own.
