Whoa, that's some high-level skill!

Shen Ying's eyes widened. Ning Zi'an exerted a great effort to carry the baby up from the floor. Looking at her, he said, "She will not remember anything that has happened before. She only has to go through three more rebirths before she can become a true human and cut off any form of connection with me. When we return to the immortal realm later on, I will personally send her into the Azure World."

Shen Ying stepped forward and studied the baby. It was then that she realised the infant was a female, and there was a red lotus flower birthmark on her forehead. Shen Ying pursed her lips. Was this rebirth technique imported from Thailand? Why did it have the power to change its gender?

"Since we're done here, we should head back. Let's go!" Shen Ying pointed toward the still open gates. She walked forward a couple of steps and realised that the stupid child was not following her. "What else?"

"Sect Master Shen, I have settled my problem, but the gates of the demonic realm remain open." Ning Zi'an frowned even more deeply. He turned around and looked cautiously at the Demon King standing behind him. "I don't know how you are related to the demons here or what kind of deal you struck with them, but these demons have always looked down on the immortal realm. We will not let them roam around so easily."

"..."

"Child, you watch your mouth," The Demon King shouted, jumping up before Shen Ying could say anything in response. The Demon King was trembling. "Who looked down on you? And who wants to go into the immortal realm? I don't care for it!" Don't spout nonsense in front of the Great Immortal. I helped you after all. You're repaying my kindness with evil. Just wait and see – I will fix you!

He immediately changed his expression to a pitiful one and looked at Shen Ying, saying very seriously, "Great Immortal, I really, really, really, really don't have plans to invade the immortal realm. Don't you worry. I promise that I will instruct the demons never to walk through those gates. Whoever walks through them... will have his legs cut off! Please trust me..."

"Oh..." Shen Ying did not care at all about what the Demon King had to say. She patted his shoulder and said, "I believe you!"

"Great Immortal..." The Demon King heaved a sigh of relief. His boot-licking skills were still coming in handy.

"Great Immortal Shen!" Ning Zi'an was shocked. He was clearly dissatisfied. How can demons be trusted? He was just about to persuade Shen Ying further when...

Shen Ying grabbed his shoulder and said, "Alright! Let's go back!"

"Great Immortal, take care!"

Shen Ying walked out of the gates of the demonic realm, turned around and said, "Oh yes, I forgot to tell you. I'm going to close these gates."

The Demon King: "..."

You said you believed me?

Is this a threat? This is most definitely a threat!

When Shen Ying stepped out of the gates, she felt a significant drop in the demonic Qi around her. Ning Zi'an, on the other hand, had spent too long in the demonic realm and was still weak from conjuring the Rebirth Seal. Before he could step out of the demonic realm, he passed out.

Shen Ying had no other choice but to support his weight with one arm and carry the infant with the other. That was how she exited the demonic realm.
