Reincarnated as a demon from Douluo Continent, guarding peace in the human world.

Chapter 17 Tang Yuehua's Ambition! Crisis Approaches

In the illusion, demons who had died at Xiao's hands suddenly came back to life. They bared their fangs and claws, wanting to take revenge on Xiao, but Xiao seemed to have lost his power.

In his ears, he could still hear the screams of the creatures he had killed when he was controlled by Xiao.

It's like being in a frying pan of oil, and then being thrown onto a glacier the next second.

Xiao was experiencing such suffering, but fortunately, he had once received help from the wind god and gained the upper hand in the battle against his karmic obstacles.

Although coming into this world may cause those karmic obstacles to boil over, it also maintains a delicate balance.

It just unleashed some power, allowing karmic obstacles to gain the upper hand, but it will eventually subside.

The melodious sound of a zither drifted in suddenly. It had no divine power, but it was an extremely beautiful piece of music with a calming effect on the mind. Xiao gradually regained consciousness.

He opened his eyes and looked in the direction from which the music was coming.

She was a beautiful woman in palace attire, whose age was hard to discern. She had a graceful figure and a captivating curve. Her blue hair was styled in an updo, with two strands hanging down her cheeks, which made her face appear even whiter.

But what is most striking is its temperament, which possesses a kind of elegant and noble beauty.

For some reason, Xiao felt that she resembled the Emperor in a way, possessing an aura that brought peace to people's hearts.

"Ding-dong~" Tang Yuehua stopped playing and walked over, her gentle eyes showing concern.

"You're awake. This is Yuexuan. I've had your clothes taken out to be washed. You can wear this set for now... Don't worry, no one can hurt you here."

Tang Yuehua said gently.

Xiao lifted the blanket and looked inside. He saw that his body had indeed been washed and he had even been given a new pair of underwear.

This discovery made him somewhat uneasy.

The mighty Monkey King, the Golden Roc General, was bathed and had his clothes changed by a stranger.

Xiao took a light breath; the air in the room carried a faint fragrance.

"Thank...thank you," Xiao said softly.

Tang Yuehua's lips curled slightly as she looked at Xiao, a gentle smile on her face.

If she had a normal marriage and children, the children would probably be around the same age as Xiao, right?

That's why, seeing such a beautiful boy as Xiao naturally evoked a maternal instinct in her that she had never felt before.

Tang Yuehua said softly, "You're welcome. Rest here for a while longer... Um, can you tell me your name? My name is Tang Yuehua, you can call me Aunt Tang."

The maid who came over heard this conversation and looked at Tang Yuehua with surprise.

It should be noted that the peerless Yuexuan Master was admired by Emperor Xueye of the Tiandou Empire and was the dream lover of countless nobles, yet she showed no interest in those men whatsoever.

Now you're actually trying to get close to a teenager and show him goodwill.

If this scene were to circulate, it would probably break the hearts of many people.

Xiao shook his head. He could sense that Tang Yuehua was indeed a very good person.

That is why he cannot get close to him.

"If you encounter any trouble, you can call upon me... the Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Immortal, Xiao."

As Xiao spoke, a thought flashed through his mind, and a new set of clothes appeared on his body, just like before.

...Don't ask, it's just divine intervention.

He tried to get out of bed, but after taking only two steps, he began to sway.

Seeing this, Tang Yuehua quickly helped him up, gently complaining, "What are you doing? Just rest here! Otherwise, I won't let you leave!"

"Don't come near me, you'll regret it."

Xiao's voice was cold.

The maid pouted upon hearing this and muttered under her breath, "What an arrogant little brat..."

As she spoke, the maid Lan'er compared her height with that of Xiao.

The awkward thing is that the two are actually quite close in height!

If a man and a woman are about the same height, they are most likely teenagers.

Tang Yuehua rolled her eyes at the maid helplessly, took Xiao's arm, and helped him to the bed.

"You'll stay here! I know you've gotten yourself into some trouble. But trust me, I'll make sure you're never in any danger!"

"I still have a lot of power, and I can protect you."

Tang Yuehua's expression was serious, and she gave him a solemn and earnest advice, even using an unquestionable tone.

The maid opened her mouth wide. She had never seen the master of the pavilion like this before!

"..." Xiao paused for a moment, staring at Tang Yuehua.

There's this strange feeling that this woman seems to want to be her own... mother?

"I am not human, so I can't really understand human emotions."

Tang Yuehua's cheeks flushed slightly. She felt a little shy at being treated so kindly by a young man she was meeting for the first time. She didn't know what was wrong with her, even though she was already a middle-aged woman.

Tang Yuehua cleared her throat and changed the subject, saying, "What would you like to eat? I'll have someone prepare it for you."

"We have everything you need. Just tell us what you want. Once you've recovered, you can go wherever you want, and I won't stop you."

Tang Yuehua smiled.

Xiao was slightly taken aback, looking at Tang Yuehua. This woman seemed to be radiating some kind of sacred light.

"...If there's almond tofu."

Tang Yuehua blinked and nodded, saying, "Okay! You lie here, and I'll bring it up to you when it's ready."

Without saying a word, Tang Yuehua pushed Xiao back into bed.

"..." Xiao watched her leave, and thinking about his current condition, he realized he really needed to rest for a while, so he decided not to leave any further.

And it seems like it's been a long time since I've had almond tofu...

……

Tang Yuehua left with her maid, giving Xiao a quiet place to rest.

The maid, brought from the Haotian Sect, had followed Tang Yuehua since childhood. Unlike others, she asked directly, "Master, this young man's identity is a mystery, and he's definitely in some kind of trouble..."

Tang Yuehua remained calm and said indifferently:

"Lan'er, do you think I don't know? Although he's just a young man, he has an extraordinary air about him and a pure heart. He must have a special background. What's wrong with us forming a good relationship?"

"..." The maid Lan'er stopped talking, knowing that nothing she said could persuade Tang Yuehua.

In her heart, she couldn't help but mutter: I think you're just overflowing with maternal love!

Tang Yuehua suddenly asked, "Lan'er, have you ever heard of almond tofu?"

"No... I've never heard of that before..."

The maid Lan'er shook her head.

Tang Yuehua frowned slightly. "Then we'll have to consult some renowned chefs. This child only ordered this one dish; we can't let him down..."

"..." The maid Lan'er quietly pursed her lips.

……

At the same time, Grand Marshal Golong arrived at the entrance of Yuexuan with a group of soldiers.

"Did that guy disappear around here in the end?"

Goron asked the adjutant beside him.

The adjutant nodded and said, "Yes, sir. According to our investigation, Xiao did indeed disappear here. Some people say he was taken away by two women, right here."

"Okay, I'll go ask!"

Golong glanced at Yuexuan and entered alone.

After all, she was the woman Emperor Xueye had his eye on, so he couldn't force his way in.
