Chapter 119: The Aloof Immortal and the Wealthy Prince 08

Two months later.

Zhongli Mingji, as usual, had not sought out the disciples of Lingxiao Sect and continued to live in the Prince Jing’s residence.

He rarely ventured out, spending most of his time recuperating within the palace.

Early last month, he had agreed to Jin Muhan’s proposal of love and marriage, and the Prince Jing’s residence had begun preparing for the wedding, with everything turning a vibrant red.

While fostering his relationship with Jin Muhan, Zhongli Mingji also tailored a suitable cultivation method based on Jin Muhan’s constitution and the newly emerged immortal bone attributes.

After he spared the World Consciousness, it fulfilled its promise by granting Jin Muhan an immortal bone, though no one knew about it.

The frightened World Consciousness quietly hid away, not daring to harbor any ill intentions.

During this time, Zhongli Mingji continued to hold onto his two affliction cards: amnesia and mutism.

The former was because he didn’t know how to explain his true identity before his cultivation was restored, as it could easily be mistaken for a fraud in reality.

The latter was not by his choice; as long as his immortal power was in conflict with the thunder force within his body, he would remain mute, unable to utter a single word.

Thus, he could only maintain the status quo.

However, Jin Muhan seemed to have imagined many strange things, treating him like a pitiful nobleman who had been bullied by villains.

For instance, at this moment, Jin Muhan couldn’t help but sigh while feeding him porridge, “Mingji, I wonder which family’s young master you used to be?”

“How come you were lying alone by the roadside without a single servant by your side?”

“And when will your illness be cured?”

Zhongli Mingji held Jin Muhan’s wrist that was feeding him and pointed to his own throat with his other hand.

Jin Muhan pouted, “Alright, I won’t ask you so many questions then.”

He longed for Mingji’s responses!

Communicating through looks and writing every day was no longer satisfying for him.

Zhongli Mingji released his hand and swallowed another spoonful of porridge.

He could eat by himself, but the other insisted on feeding him.

What could he do? He could only oblige.

After finishing the porridge, Jin Muhan put down the bowl and gently wiped the corner of Zhongli Mingji’s mouth.

He was particularly curious about what kind of family could raise such a beauty.

Gentle and noble, mysterious and aloof.

But he didn’t dare to ask further, fearing he might stir up painful memories, given Zhongli Mingji’s severe injuries, amnesia, and mutism.

The two leaned against each other, like mandarin ducks in love.

Meanwhile, in the Demon Realm.

Fanti, who was in the midst of healing, suddenly came out of seclusion upon receiving a secret message from the Left Protector.

‘Your Majesty, the Xuan Shuang Immortal is in the human realm’s Jin City, suspected to be severely injured and amnesiac.’

This news directly caused Fanti, who was halfway through his healing, to decide to postpone his recovery.

The handsome monk in red robes, with his captivating fox-like eyes, frowned thoughtfully as he looked towards the human realm.

“The human realm… I recall that Jin City in the human realm is the capital of the Longyuan Kingdom.”

“What is that guy doing there?”

Three months ago, after agreeing to a ceasefire with Zhongli Mingji, they both returned to their respective territories to heal.

He went back to the Demon Realm, and Zhongli Mingji returned to Lingxiao Sect.

But how did Zhongli Mingji end up in the human realm, and suspected to have lost his memory!

Although he was seriously injured, he was a genuine Jade Balance Realm Immortal, one of only four in the Immortal Realm who could stand as Immortal Lords alongside him.

But those four old guys would never attack Zhongli Mingji, and besides them, only the demons could injure him.

Yet, everyone in the Demon Realm knew that in three years, he would face Zhongli Mingji in battle again at Ximuzhou, and no demon would dare to challenge the Demon Lord’s opponent.

The mortals and cultivators of the human realm could not possibly harm the immortal body of Zhongli Mingji.

So, who else could make Zhongli Mingji not stay at Lingxiao Sect to heal but instead end up in the human realm?

Fanti recalled all the notable figures in the Immortal and Demon Realms, and he found that truly, no one could rival him.

He had known Zhongli Mingji for nearly five hundred years, basically since he started cultivating, and that man had always been far ahead of everyone else.

Now, Zhongli Mingji had become the revered Xuan Shuang Immortal Lord in the Immortal Realm, and although there were four elders who were also in the Jade Balance Realm, this guy’s strength was definitely not weaker than those old guys.

Even if Zhongli Mingji was injured, he wasn’t someone that just any random person could deal with.

Otherwise, he, the Demon Lord, who was also injured, would have been overthrown by the demons who worshiped strength, and he wouldn’t still be sitting securely on the Demon Lord’s throne.

But he, who was in a more dangerous situation than Zhongli Mingji, hadn’t encountered any backstabbers, yet the Xuan Shuang Immortal Lord had run into danger.

To say it out loud, it was simply ridiculous!

Fanti gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll go see what’s going on for myself!”

He was still waiting to settle the score with Zhongli Mingji! How could he let the other die so casually!

The alluring red-robed monk quickly flew towards the direction of Jin City in the human realm, arriving in the blink of an eye next to the Left Protector who had sent him the message.

The human realm, Jin City.

The Left Protector of the Demon Realm, looking at the suddenly appeared Demon Lord, respectfully knelt down to pay his respects.

“Greetings, Your Majesty. What brings you here?”

Fanti waved his hand, “Get up and tell me, what exactly happened to Zhongli Mingji?”

He had fought with Zhongli Mingji for several hundred years and had never heard of such an absurd thing.

The Left Protector slowly stood up and truthfully reported what he had accidentally discovered.

“Two days ago, I was idle and came to Jin City, the most prosperous city in the human realm, for a stroll, and unexpectedly encountered the Xuan Shuang Immortal Lord walking with a mortal.”

“At first, I thought I had mistaken him for someone else, but I heard the mortal call him Mingji, which is indeed the Xuan Shuang Immortal Lord’s name.”

“Moreover, I heard that person mention the Xuan Shuang Immortal Lord’s amnesia, so I hurriedly sent a message to Your Majesty to see if we should take action.”

Fanti sat in the main seat, wearing monk robes but without a hint of compassion, the smooth top of his head not adorned with monk’s scars but with strange demonic patterns.

He coldly said, “Where is he now?”

Without seeing it for himself, he found it hard to believe that Zhongli Mingji had lost his memory and ended up here.

The Left Protector thought for a moment and replied, “The Prince Jing’s residence, he has been staying there for some time.”

Fanti tapped the table with his fingers and asked, “This Prince Jing is the mortal you mentioned who was accompanying Zhongli Mingji?”

The Left Protector of the Demon Realm nodded slightly, “Yes! Their relationship is quite intimate…”

“And they…” seemed to be planning to get married.

He didn’t voice the latter part, just looked at the Demon Lord with a complicated expression.

“Your Majesty should go see for yourself.”

“I’m afraid if I said it, you wouldn’t believe it.”

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, if someone told him that the Xuan Shuang Immortal Lord was going to marry a mortal, he would never have believed it!

Although he was a demon, everyone in the Immortal and Demon Realms knew how the Xuan Shuang Immortal Lord kept his distance from beauty.

As the Right Protector put it, the Xuan Shuang Immortal Lord was a pure high mountain flower, sacred and inviolable, destined to be alone for life!

The Right Protector, that demoness, had once tried to seduce the Xuan Shuang Immortal Lord, only to be nearly split in half by him, which infuriated her so much that she returned to the Demon Realm and cursed him endlessly.

“Oh~” Fanti became even more curious after hearing this.

What earth-shattering thing had Zhongli Mingji done that even the Left Protector of the Demon Realm found it difficult to speak of?

“Since that’s the case, I’ll go have a look.” He finished speaking and quickly left, teleporting towards the Prince Jing’s residence as indicated by the Left Protector.
