Hearing that Mo Li has now reached the mid-stage peak great emperor level, and can even touch the late-stage great emperor realm, Chi Yan Demon Lord couldn't help but feel an immense sense of pride as she embraced Mo Li's arm.
"Her" man is indeed the strongest in this world.
Chi Yan Demon Lord happily leaned against Mo Li's chest.
Qin Chen and the others looked on in silence, unable to find words.
He knew what Chi Yan Demon Lord looked like in her true form back in the day. Although her current appearance is close to that of the HongYan Martial Emperor, no matter how Qin Chen looked at it, it still felt awkward and made him incredibly uncomfortable.
“Ahem, Mo Li, if you two want to be affectionate, shouldn't you find another place? In public like this, we have to be mindful of the impact,” Qin Chen couldn't help but remind them.
It seemed he needed to wash his eyes when he got back; this was just too uncomfortable.
Mo Li and Chi Yan quickly separated from their embrace, their faces showing embarrassment and shyness.
Damn!
Is this still the Mo Li who kills effortlessly?
Seeing Mo Li's shy appearance made Qin Chen's skin crawl, it was almost like seeing a ghost.
He really needed to wrap up this situation and leave here as soon as possible.
He couldn't stand being here for even a second longer.
With that thought, Qin Chen turned to Mo Li and immediately asked, “Mo Li, what do you plan to do next? Since Chi Yan Demon Lord is an undead, are you two planning to stay here in the River of the Undead?”
Qin Chen frowned.
Mo Li now appeared as a living person, while Chi Yan Demon Lord was an undead; even if they reunited, they couldn’t interact properly!
Upon hearing this, Chi Yan Demon Lord's expression immediately fell. Although she had regained her memories, as Qin Chen pointed out, she was still just an undead and couldn’t leave the River of the Undead, let alone satisfy Li Er.
Her gaze suddenly became dim.
Mo Li’s heart sank as well, hastily looking at Qin Chen. “Qin Chen, Miss Xiao Xiao and Princess Muya are spirits of the River of the Undead. Is there any way for Lord Crimson Flame to follow me back to the cosmic sea?”
He felt anxious, swallowed hard, and nervously looked at Qin Chen and the others, gritting his teeth, “As long as you can help revive Lord Crimson Flame, I’m willing to pay any price.”
“Reviving Chi Yan Demon Lord?” Qin Chen shook his head; it was too difficult, after all, this would violate the rules of the River of the Undead. In the entire Underworld, only the Underworld Deity might be able to do it.
Ning Muya also shook her head, saying, “An undead is simply an undead. Unless they re-enter reincarnation, it is impossible to reshape a living body in the world of the living and gain new life.”
Mo Li's heart sank, and he quickly replied, “But aren’t you and Miss Xiao Xiao a unity? Miss Xiao Xiao was once a spirit in the River of the Undead, while you were born in the Primordial Universe, so…”
Ning Muya shook her head, “This should have been arranged by my adoptive father, and perhaps there are others involved behind the scenes. The previous senior from the Ancient God Clan also mentioned that if you want to revive this… ‘young lady,’ perhaps the person behind Young Master Qin can do it.”
“Qin Chen, can you help contact that person behind you…” Mo Li eagerly looked at Qin Chen with burning eyes.
Qin Chen gave a bitter smile and shook his head.
Contact the person behind him?
The one the Ancient Emperor Senior referred to is likely his father, but even he had never met his father, so how could he help Mo Li?
Seeing Qin Chen's expression, Mo Li's heart sank completely.
“Sigh.” He sighed, looking at Chi Yan Demon Lord, gently saying, “Lord Crimson Flame, at worst, I will accompany you in this River of the Undead for a lifetime.”
“That’s not a long-term solution; after all, I will eventually have to enter reincarnation,” Chi Yan Demon Lord said with a bitter smile, but quickly showed a smile again, “But it’s okay, Li Er, being able to see you again after death, knowing that you are doing so well, I am already very satisfied. It’s just a pity…”
