"Master Ye, now that you've suppressed the Demon Embryo, it's time to return it to me, wouldn't you say?"

"The Devil Embryo and you are not from the same source, nor are we related by blood. Therefore, while you can perhaps borrow its power, you cannot merge with it. At most, it is just icing on the cake for you."

Du Yuqi's voice was cold, with a hint of detachment.

Now she doubted her judgment, wondering how she could have thought Ye Fan was different from the other prodigies.

If she hadn't come to this Demon Heaven of her own volition, she would even suspect that it wasn't a trap specifically set for her...

Suddenly, Du Yuqi's pupils constricted!

She thought of a crucial person: the highly respected elder from the Heavenly Machine Sect.

It was precisely because he had calculated a fortune for her that she ventured north without hesitation, arriving at the Eastern Desolate Domain.

Zì fēng xiū wéi jìn le yún duàn shān mài!

She had once thought that the great fortune the old man spoke of was the Quasi-Emperor Demon Heart in the black coffin.

However, is this her great fortune?

This is clearly a disaster!

Although the Heavenly Machine Sect is detached from worldly affairs, it ultimately lacks the depth of an emperor. It would never dare to harm her in such a way.

Even the Heavenly Machine Sect couldn't withstand the wrath of the Purple Mansion Holy Land.

Throughout history, there have been very few forces that possessed the foundation of two or more emperors.

And coincidentally, the Purple Mansion Sacred Land is one of them!

Du Yuxi thought more and more, she felt a chill in her heart.

Deep down, she seemed to feel an invisible hand guiding everything.

Even the Heavenly Machine Scripture was calculated within this.

Whether the opponent's target is her or the entire ZiFu Holy Land remains unknown.

Thinking about this, Du Yuqi couldn't help but turn her gaze back to Ye Fan.

He...

What role does it play here!

Where in the world could there be so many coincidences?

A terrifying thought crept into her mind.

Perhaps, from her first encounter with Ye Fan, it was the mastermind's arrangement.

While the Heavenly Demon was a trap, it was the second one set by her opponent.

Otherwise, how could the Black Coffin's master have such drastic emotional fluctuations before and after Ye Fan's move?

To her: Even if it means giving my life, I will make you fall.

Alright, I'll give you a chance to be reborn.

They are completely different people.

I didn't know, I thought Ye Fan was the chosen one!

If he truly is the Son of Heaven, then this throne belongs to him. Everyone else should just give up and let him have it.

In this golden age, who is not born carrying boundless auspicious energy?

Amongst the celestial prodigies, who isn't a protagonist of heaven and earth?

She, Du Yuqi, was born with the body of a celestial demon fetus. The ancestors of all the holy lands called her to possess the potential of an emperor. What did she say?

She, Du Yuqi, never believed in fate more than anything else in her life!

As cultivators, if we don't have the unwavering belief that humans can overcome anything, then we might as well go home and raise children.

Therefore, first rule out Ye Fan as the chosen one of destiny.

He must have been orchestrated here by the mastermind behind the scenes.

But where exactly does he hail from?

Just as Du Yuqi was still battling between heaven and man, Ye Fan's voice suddenly rang in her ear.

"I can give you the demonic fetus back!"

Du Yuqi's expression was startled.

She stared blankly at Ye Fan, unable to believe that the latter had agreed so readily.

Don't be fooled by her words, she doesn't really believe Ye Fan will let this go.

After all, it's a natural demon fetus infused with the heart of a quasi-emperor!

Even if not fused, it can be used for refining weapons and tools, alchemy, formations, or even cultivation. It's incredibly versatile and much more than just a simple embellishment.

Even more so, her demon fetus looked exactly like her...

Du Yuqi hurriedly shook her head, looking at Ye Fan with a wary expression.

Is there a trick?

But now her strength is nowhere near what it used to be. What could she possibly use to withstand Ye Fan, who is also at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm?

At this time, Ye Fan saw Du Yuqi's vigilance and smiled: "Don't be nervous, this magic fetus originally belongs to you. Why not return it to you?"

Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, Du Yuqi asked in a low voice, "Really?"

Yè Fàn smiled, "Really!"

A hint of confusion flashed in Du Yuqi's beautiful eyes, and she thought to herself, "Could I have misunderstood him?"

"He just happened to be here?"

At that moment, she suddenly noticed Ye Fan's actions and exclaimed, "What are you doing!"

Only to see Ye Fan already lying on the lotus platform, and even blinking at her.

"Isn't this about returning my Demonic Embryo?" Du Yuqi cried out in despair.

"What are you doing?"

Ye Fan countered, "Didn't you say you would return my demon fetus?"

Du Yuqi, suppressing the madness in her heart, said: "Is this how you repay me?"

"Back then, that demon fetus was shot into me when we were like this... and like that... Let's try again, maybe the demon fetus will return to you."

Du Yuqi was speechless, gritting her teeth and saying, "You can't control the demonic fetus to be grafted back into my body?"

Ye Fan spread his hands again.

"How could I possibly?"

"I can't control it!"

"What about trying the most primitive method?"

"I still remember that posture. Let's see if this magic fetus will reverse transfer while it's hot."

Ye Fan inwardly struggled to suppress a smile, his expression remaining serious.

However, there was one thing he didn't lie about.

He knew how to refine this demon fetus. With the Swallowing Heaven Demon Art, there was nothing he couldn't refine.

But I really don't know how to transfer the demon fetus back to Du Yuqi's body.

This demonic fetus, although it did not fully merge with him, took root in his spiritual sea in a different way, and could be considered part of his body.

"Darn it!"

"Were you doing that on purpose?"

Du Yuqi walked to Ye Fan's side, her body already clothed at some point. A hint of obvious shyness could be heard in her cold voice.

After all, I'm still just an ordinary person, not a fairy who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world.

Ye Fan cried out in protest, "Don't wrongly accuse an innocent person!"

"That demon fetus, you don't have to take it either, I'm not forcing you!"

Du Yuqi remained silent for a long time before gritting her teeth and saying, "What do you want me to do?"

Just as if I was bitten by a dog again!

Ye Fan said calmly, "No rush, I say, you do."

We must perfectly recreate the scene from back then, for there's only a slim chance otherwise.

Do you understand?

A touch of seriousness also appeared in Du Yuqi's eyes.

The devil child, she's bound to win.

Thus, following Ye Fan's command, she transformed back into a white lamb.

……

On a certain day in the Land of Demonic Transformation, after several days and nights on the journey, he finally approached the deepest part. Wān Qīng Sī walked powerlessly across the barren land.

He was still muttering to himself.

"Ye Fan..."

"It's you again..."

"It's you again!"

Just a short while ago, after Wan Qingsi had slain a Demonic Slave comparable to a Saint-Rank Heaven's Prodigy, he sensed a violent energy fluctuation coming from the depths of the Demon Transformation Heaven.

What followed was a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

A vortex of energy covering hundreds of miles, almost draining all the energy from the world.

Even the area where Qingsi's silk is spun was affected.

When Wan Qingsi saw this, she used her pupil technique to take a look.

Only then did I realize...

She had finally learned from ancient texts recorded in the teachings that there was a demon heart within the Heavenly Demon's Inner Realm.

This Demonic Core's previous owner was most likely a quasi-emperor.

If one could refine the essence of a quasi-emperor's demon heart, that would be an incredible fortune.

Of course, her boldness stemmed from the fact that she had anticipated the emperor's consciousness having long since been extinguished in the river of time. Even if there were any after-measures left behind, they would be insignificant.

She naturally didn't know that Ye Fan and Du Yuqi were indirectly the ones who saved her life.

Otherwise, with her strength, she would be nothing more than a dish served to the master of the Demonic Heart.

However, now she didn't want to think about anything; she just wanted to leave this heartbroken place as soon as possible.
