Chapter 1 Under the Mountain Wall

Lu Changsheng seemed somewhat silent.

He originally thought this Crow Daoist had encountered some trouble or suffered a qi deviation.

But what he didn't expect was that it was actually because of a broken heart that his temperament had changed so drastically.

This left Lu Changsheng somewhat speechless.

For a dignified Immortal King to be troubled by love was a bit unreasonable.

But upon closer thought, it wasn't wrong. Immortal Kings were still people, with their own emotions and desires. As long as they had emotions and desires, they couldn't escape the trial of love.

"Changsheng Demon Lord, this Crow Daoist, is he having relationship problems?"

Shan Ting also seemed to have sensed something and asked curiously.

"It should be."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

"Oh, that's good then. Isn't it just a problem with emotions? It's a small matter. I thought it was something big."

Shan Ting didn't think much of it.

But Lu Changsheng shook his head and looked at Shan Ting.

"Shan Ting, you're still young, you don't understand what love is. In this world, only the word 'love' wounds people the most."

Lu Changsheng sighed.

Heartbreak, to be honest, wasn't a big deal, nor was it a small one. It all depended on how the individual thought about it.

But without bragging, Lu Changsheng had never experienced heartbreak from a young age until now.

"Let's go, let's find the Crow Daoist."

Lu Changsheng slowly spoke, then continued to search for the Crow Daoist's whereabouts.

Shan Ting didn't understand what Lu Changsheng was saying, but didn't think too much and obediently followed Lu Changsheng.

But after a long while, Lu Changsheng hadn't found any trace of the Crow Daoist.

Crow Mountain wasn't very big. In theory, it should be easy to find with a casual search.

Lu Changsheng didn't dare to spread his divine sense. After all, the other party was an Immortal King. If he spread his divine sense, he might provoke the other party.

Heaven knows what a heartbroken crow would do.

Heartbroken people were the most terrifying, because they always wanted to vent the anger in their hearts.

So Lu Changsheng didn't dare to act rashly and just searched quietly.

Finally, after a day and a night, Lu Changsheng found a strange figure in front of a river.

It was a giant bird, but strangely, its feathers were red, not black.

But there wasn't a single living thing in the entire Crow Mountain, only this one bird, which made Lu Changsheng curious.

"Changsheng Demon Lord, do you think that might be the Crow Daoist?"

Shan Ting pointed at the red giant bird by the river and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Not sure! Let's go ask."

Lu Changsheng shook his head. He wasn't sure if this was the Crow Daoist, but he still quickly walked over to see the situation.

Soon, the man and beast arrived at the riverbank.

The giant bird was very large, with its back to Lu Changsheng and Shan Ting, but its feathers were red. Upon closer inspection, the red color wasn't natural, but rather dyed.

As a result, the true color of the feathers couldn't be seen.

"May I ask, are you the Crow Daoist?"

Lu Changsheng spoke, questioning the other party.

But the giant bird didn't speak, only kept its back to Lu Changsheng.

"May I ask, Senior, are you the Crow Daoist? Or do you know where the Crow Daoist is?"

Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

However, the giant bird still didn't answer.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng and Shan Ting couldn't help but exchange glances, both revealing curiosity.

"Fellow Daoist?"

Lu Changsheng asked again.

However, the giant bird spoke, but didn't answer Lu Changsheng's question. Instead, it was more like mumbling to itself.

"You said, you like to quietly watch the river, because it symbolizes the passage of time."

The voice sounded, and Lu Changsheng inexplicably confirmed that this was the Crow Daoist.

He just didn't know why the black feathers had turned into red ones.

"Crow Daoist, I am Lu Changsheng, the Demon Lord of the Demon World. Now the Demon World is facing a crisis and needs the supreme demonic artifact, the Demon God Ancient Ring, to protect it. I hope Senior Crow will give me the artifact. The Demon World will definitely remember this kindness."

Lu Changsheng spoke, his tone firm, saying this.

But...

"Heh, no matter how beautiful time is, it can't keep the images between us."

"If life only has sixty breaths left, I will use fifty-nine breaths to think of you, and the remaining one breath, I will use to recall those fifty-nine breaths."

"I really want to go back to the beginning, so that at least, you won't hate me anymore."

Lu Changsheng: "..."

Shan Ting: "..."

"Senior Crow?"

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and continued to ask the other party.

"You said you like red, so I dyed my feathers red. I thought you would like me, but what I didn't expect was that you only liked his red, heh, am I not worthy?"

The voice continued to sound.

The Crow Daoist seemed to be in a daze, not caring whether there was anyone around, talking to himself, repeatedly saying these sentimental quotes.

However, Lu Changsheng could finally confirm that this was the Crow Daoist.

Just for a liked fellow, he dyed his own feathers red.

This behavior made Lu Changsheng feel silent.

Indeed, if you don't love someone deeply, who would be willing to be a simp?

"Senior Crow, life will always encounter many setbacks, you must cheer up... Holy crap!"

Lu Changsheng sighed and came to the riverbank, wanting to comfort the Crow Daoist. However, the moment Lu Changsheng saw the Crow Daoist, he screamed.

He had never seen such eyes.

Empty! Soulless! More dazed than a sand sculpture.

Some sand sculptures are like that because they're not smart when they speak.

Some sand sculptures are like that because they're not flexible when they act.

But some sand sculptures are simply imprinted in the mold.

Before seeing the Crow Daoist, he absolutely didn't believe that there would be such a sand-sculpture bird in this world.

But after seeing the Crow Daoist today, Lu Changsheng finally had an extremely concrete image of the word "sand sculpture."

"It's time to think about myself and how to make myself better, at least no longer touching those uneasy memories and making myself embarrassed! But... I can't do it."

The Crow Daoist ignored Lu Changsheng, he was still staring at the river with empty eyes.

Clearly, the Crow Daoist was really heartbroken, otherwise, he wouldn't be like this.

"Changsheng Demon Lord, what do we do?"

Shan Ting also noticed.

The Crow Daoist had completely lost his mind now and wouldn't have a proper conversation.

"Let me think."

Lu Changsheng frowned.

For some reason, Lu Changsheng felt that he had encountered the biggest trouble in his life.

More thorny than breaking into secret realms or climbing mountains of knives.

Enlightening the Crow Daoist?

That won't work, his skills are only enough to deceive a few children.

Dealing with this Immortal King-level existence is a bit tricky.

Wait!

Suddenly, Lu Changsheng thought of a way!
