Ye Zhen was taken away by the Supreme, and the people of the Flame Region gathered more and more. If they continued to stay, they wouldn't be able to leave this place.
"Why did they think I was the Flame Devil King the moment they saw me?" Ye Zhen frowned. She had always resisted becoming a Flame Devil King. Even when she recalled the past of the Flame Region, she was shocked, her heart ached, and she thought of finding a more suitable place for the civilians of the Flame Region to live in, but she just didn't want to become a Flame Devil King.
It was as if she would become an enemy after becoming a Flame Devil King. That was something she resisted from the bottom of her heart.
But, who? Who did she forget?
"They guessed you were with me," the Supreme said in a low voice. "You even saved that child. In their hearts, they have already determined that you are the Flame Devil King."
"Could it be that your previous Flame Devil Kings … really knew everything?" Ye Zhen asked.
The Supreme took out a cloak and put it on Ye Zhen, covering her appearance. "This way, others won't be able to tell."
"They didn't recognize me, but because you stood by my side." Ye Zhen said. She felt that the people of the Flame Region respected the High Priest even more.
"I won't let them know I'm here." The Supreme said helplessly. "You still don't understand the power of the Flame Devil King. If you want, you can learn the Flame Devil King's inheritance. Not only can you help others rebuild their Qi Sea, cure all illnesses, and raise your cultivation to the emperor realm."
Emperor realm? Isn't that close to transcending mortality and entering sainthood?
Ye Zhen pulled away from him and looked at him indifferently. "I didn't expect the Flame Devil King to be a doctor."
"No, not a doctor." The Supreme said. "He only uses magic to heal, not like you. Besides … not a single blade of grass grows in the Flame Region, how can you grow herbs? No one can become a doctor."
"Those children are sick." Ye Zhen said. "Their illness is too rare. I need to go back and check."
The Supreme's eyes turned cold. "Have you seen such an illness before? Those silver needles you used are the treatment method? "
"That's acupuncture." Ye Zhen sighed. "I wanted to prescribe medicine for that child. Ask someone to give it to him for me."
"Is acupuncture a treatment method in the human world?" The Supreme asked.
Ye Rou nodded. "Yes, but I still need to study it carefully. Can you let that child come to the Priest Hall today? If we can cure him, then the others will have a chance. "
"Alright, I will have someone bring him into the palace tomorrow," said the Emperor.
"Master, I have something to ask you." Ye Zhen looked at him doubtfully. "Do I … know that Mo Di?"
"Why do you ask?" He lowered his eyes, not looking at Ye Zhen's eyes.
Ye Zhen said blankly, "I always feel that I have forgotten something, and …"
She paused for a moment. She didn't even have any memories of Ming Xi's Imperial Father. It was as if he was a person she had known for a very, very long time, and had already become unimportant.
But that man was clearly the father of her child. How could she have such a feeling?
"Do you feel like you've forgotten something?" The High Lord asked in a low voice, "What you want to forget should make you unhappy, so why bother remembering it?"
"Did I deliberately want to forget?" Ye Zhen was slightly stunned. This was very likely.
The High Lord nodded gently. "Are we going back to the Demon Palace?"
Ye Zhen glanced around at the Flame Demons that came and went, looking no different from the capital. "Then let's go back."
Just after they left, two children of similar age walked out of the alley. Their faces were painted with something that made them look very pale, somewhat similar to the children of the Yan Region.
"Did you see that?" One of the children asked in a low voice.
"Yes, that's my Imperial Mother." The other looked carefully and soon discovered that he was Ming Xi.
Fire Phoenix lowered her voice. "She left with the High Lord of her own accord. Oh no, did Yaoyao forget about the City Lord and go with the High Lord?" Fire Phoenix cried out worriedly.
"Don't talk nonsense. My mother is not that kind of person." Ming Xi shouted. "Let's catch up."
"The High Lord's cultivation is unfathomable. Maybe we'll be discovered as soon as we get close." Fire Phoenix hurriedly pulled Ming Xi's hand. "Yaoyao looks fine. It seems that no one will hurt her."
Ming Xi said coldly, "Find a way to enter the Demon Palace."
…
…
Back at the Priest Hall, Ye Zhen took out the medical book she had stored in the space. She had just performed acupuncture on the child. She felt that the reason why the children of the Flame Demons mutated in the past fifty years may be related to some kind of genetic disease.
"I'll have the child brought to the Demon Palace later." The High Lord said.
"Well, if the child is willing, bring another child with the same disease." Ye Zhen whispered. "If their parents don't want to, then forget it."
The High Lord smiled slightly. "Their parents must be willing, but how can you be sure that they are sick?"
"Because I'm a doctor." Ye Zhen said.
"Then … are you willing to stay?" The High Lord's eyes shone brightly, a smile rising from the corner of his eyes.
"I won't stay for long. After knowing the disease of those children, I will still leave." Ye Zhen said. "I will not become your Flame Demon King."
The High Lord nodded with a smile. "Good."
She no longer resisted the Yan Region as before and was even willing to treat the Flame Demons. This was already a great change. Now that she had chosen to stay, it was no longer important whether she would become the Flame Demon King in the future.
"There's one more thing." Ye Zhen frowned and whispered, "If you secretly take me away from the flying spirit ship, Mingxi and the others will definitely be very worried. My sound transmission array can't go out. Help me pass a message to Mingxi, tell him not to worry about me, and to wait for me on the flying spirit ship."
The High Lord didn't really want others to come to Ye Zhen, for that would always bring up Emperor Mo.
"That's it then," Ye Zhen said.
"Good." The High Lord left the room.
Not far away, a tall man appeared in front of him. The man bowed to the High Lord. "High Lord, the flying spirit ship is hidden in the clouds, and there is no one on it."
The High Lord narrowed his eyes slightly. "Do you know where they went?"
The evil general replied, "They should have sneaked into the Demon Capital. High Lord, do you want to go find them?"
"Go stop them, don't let them enter the Demon Palace. Don't hurt them, especially the two children." The High Lord said softly.
"High Lord, the Demon King …" The evil general glanced at the room. "Right now, there are two reincarnations of the Flame Demon King in the Demon Palace. This is unprecedented, and I'm afraid it will cause chaos."
The High Lord took a few steps forward, then raised his head to look at the dark sky. "Two reincarnations of the Flame Demon King might not be a bad thing."
"Then should we let the spies in the Xuantian Continent return?" The evil general asked.
"No, let them stay in the Xuantian Continent. Don't let their identities be exposed." The High Lord said.
