Ways to handle this little demon

A crown prince and a demonic princess.....pretending to be cultivators from Baiyun Sect? Okay. This might sound a bit ridiculous. But believe it. In this world of cultivation, there's no place for the word "impossible". As long as one wanted it, there were just lots and lots of ways for it. 

The same went for this situation too. Even though Ming Zixin also was a cultivator, he was a crown prince with unparalleled cultivational power. To avoid any suspicions, Ming Zixin had to suppress his aura first. The prince couldn't use his legendary dizi to control earth and fire anymore either.

That's right. Ming Zixin was a young prince with both fire and earth spiritual roots. And he controlled them with his legendary dizi. 

In fact, Ming Zixin mostly used his dizi to control fire. In the entire human realm, there's only one cultivator who could control fire using the melody of a dizi and it was this unparalleled crown prince. To pretend like an average exchange disciple, Ming Zixin had to stop using his dizi from now on. 

As for He Jingyi who was a demon to begin with, it was even more difficult to fake his identity. First, He Jingyi had to hide his demonic aura. Second, he needed a temporary core of some spiritual root to be like a real cultivator. Though most rarely had ever heard of it, there's a way for demons to get cultivational power like other righteous cultivators.

And it was to absorb the power of a deceased cultivator's core and to temporarily stop the function of their own demonic core. This technique was only possible for demons with formidable power like He Jingyi. Even so, every demon who had a brain in their head, never tried it for real lest they suffered severe consequences. 

At times, demons lost their lives even before they finished absorbing power of a dead cultivator's core. Besides, even if one managed to overcome this stage, it greatly damaged their original demonic core that most couldn't properly use their own demonic power anymore after trying such a method. 

But for He Jingyi, these consequences were not such a big deal. All these years, his father had been personally training him. He Jingyi had already learnt how to use many forbidden demonic arts skillfully. Though it didn't mean He Jingyi wouldn't suffer any consequences, as to the current situation, he had no choice but to use this forbidden art. 

Even so, He Jingyi didn't have to worry about his life or his demonic core. The worst of the worst consequences..... He would only fall sick for a month or so. If other demons used this forbidden art, even their life would be in great danger. But, for He Jingyi, he would only have some mild fever for less than a month..... Compared to others, this mild fever couldn't even be considered a serious consequence.

Right now, He Jingyi had a temporary core of wind spiritual root in his body. As to how he got the core, it was from one of the two dead disciples of Baiyun Sect. As a demon, it really didn't feel good to absorb the power of a righteous cultivator. Even when Ming Zixin was currently piggybacking him to help ascending emerald jade mountain, He Jingyi could barely recuperate.

Not only he felt uncomfortable around his chest where both of his demonic core and temporary core existed, there was also this nauseous feeling which he really hated. He Jingyi knew it was too much for Ming Zixin to carry him like this till both of them reached snowy-light peak. But, He just had no choice.

He Jingyi had already endured and made it to two thousandth stair just by himself. Now another nine hundred and ninty nine stairs..... There's no way he could continue to walk like this anymore. 

"Yi Bai, wake up. We're already here. "

Rubbing his eyes, He Jingyi slowly got off the prince and rose to his feet. He Jingyi didn't even know how he ended up nodding off on the prince's back.

"You really did it, Yong Fu. Thank you. You saved my poor legs. "

Since the crown prince called him "Yi Bai", He Jingyi had already realized that someone from Jianyu Sect was here. That's why he called Ming Zixin " Yong Fu". Since they started ascending the mountain, He Jingyi was especially careful with his words. Yi Bai and Gu Yong Fu....it was the names of deceased Baiyun Sect disciples He Jingyi killed in Tian forest. Right now, they were already in the territory of a great sect like Jianyu. It wouldn't be good to get exposed in the enemy's territory after successfully infiltrating like this. 

Massaging his temples with the tips of his fingers, He Jingyi glanced around only to see two disciples in Jianyu sect uniforms standing right in front of him. They were the exact two head disciples who came to get them in Tian forest. Only when they arrived to the base of emerald jade mountain, these disciples went up to the peak riding their swords, telling them that they would be awaiting them from the peak. 

"Wait, does this disciple piggyback him all the way here?"

"No, I only lent him a hand halfway here. "

Hearing Ming Zixin's words, the two disciples exchanged glances and whispered some words as if discussing something serious. Ming Zixin should have woken He Jingyi up since before they arrived to the peak. But, as his princess was sleeping so soundly on his back, the prince couldn't bare to wake his beoved up. And thus this current situation.

After a couple of minutes, the two disciples finally finish with their discussion. One of the two head disciples walked over to He Jingyi before saying. 

"I'm truly sorry to say this. But it seems like disciple Yi needs to go back to the base of the mountain and has to overcome this trial once again. Piggybacking or helping each other is not allowed. We're truly sorry. "

He Jingyi "WTF! "
