The three demons exchanged a helpless glance. After Silver Ring fell asleep, the three demons tiptoed quietly to another room.

Hei Xiong: "How about we take Yin Huan to Hengdian to find Bai Mao and the others?"

Black Bear: "Silver Ring doesn't want to move. Besides, Huo Fei probably won't let Silver Ring leave either."

Hei Xiong: "Whether they allow it or not, leaving Penang is the best option. That way, Silver Ring can get rid of Huo Laoying's entanglement."

Black Bear: "You guys say, Huo Fei, he..."

Hei Xiong: "What do you mean 'him'? That bastard is incredibly audacious. Just wait and see, when the Luo brothers come back, this matter will cause quite a stir."

Xue calmly interjected, "You'd better not provoke Huo Fei during this time."

As fellow animals, they were extremely familiar with the courtship instincts of males. During this time, any male that approached Silver Ring would incur Huo Fei's hatred. If Huo Fei hadn't been tied up with matters concerning the Demon Clan, he would never have allowed them to get even a fraction closer to Silver Ring.

Hei Xiong: "Am I stupid? Can't you see I'm hiding from him? We can't let our guard down, though. We have to hold on until Luo Mang comes back. We can't let that eagle snatch the silver ring away."

Black Bear: "No need to worry about that. As far as I know, birds usually build nests before they mate. That bastard Huo is too busy to build a nest right now. At most, he'll just peck off some feathers to seduce Silver Ring."

Hei Xiong glanced furtively into the living room, then turned back and whispered, "Do you think Yin Huan knows what Huo Fei meant by giving her the feather?"

The black bear shook its head: "I don't know."

It nodded in agreement.

He probably didn't know, because Silver Ring hadn't even looked at him properly, and his aura hadn't changed at all. If there were any response, the sweet, cloying fragrance unique to female demons would have been lured out long ago.

Hei Xiong laughed heartily, gloating: "Trying to steal a chicken but losing the bait instead. Choosing to pursue Yin Huan in winter..."

Black Bear: "However, Huo Fei probably used the wrong method. I think it would have been better for him to buy ten baskets of steamed buns and give them to Yin Huan than to give her feathers."

Hei Xiong's eyes gleamed: "Don't remind him."

The black bear, clutching the honey jar, shook its head vigorously: "I won't tell him."

The three demons kept their voices down and chattered all afternoon, only stopping after Ahui returned home, feeling chilled to the bone.

Yin Huan slept for half a day. It wasn't until she smelled the aroma of food coming from the kitchen that she stretched and got up from the rocking chair.

However, even after sleeping for half a day, she was still yawning constantly and walking weakly, looking like an old woman on her deathbed.

"What are we having for dinner tonight?" Yin Huan sat down at the table, resting her arm on it to prop up her drowsy head.

Ahui came out of the kitchen carrying a steaming bowl: "Your favorite sauerkraut fish."

"Yinhuan, I finished my exams today, and I'll be on holiday in a couple of days. You seem a bit listless all day, so why don't you go out for a walk?" Ahui put the fish on the table and handed the chopsticks to Yinhuan.

Silver Ring: "I don't want to move."

Ahui: "Don't think about sleeping all day long. That will only make you more and more tired."

Yin Huan, holding her chopsticks, yawned again: "I can't control myself."

“It’s holiday time, I want to go back to town for the New Year.” Ahui sat down next to Yinhuan. Since the incident at the gymnasium they had gone through together, their relationship had become much closer.

Hei Xiong sat down at the table: "Are you going back to town?"

Ahui nodded.

Hei Xiong's eyes lit up, and he immediately perked up: "Yin Huan, let's go home with A Hui for the New Year."

Yes, yes, let's go to the countryside. It'll be a good way to avoid the exorcists in Penang, and Huo Fei who keeps harassing Silver Ring.

As soon as Hei Xiong finished speaking, Ahui's hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

Take them home for the Chinese New Year...

Ah Hui chuckled dryly. He felt that if he really brought them home, his father would probably have a heart attack from the fright.

Ah Hui's mind raced, trying to find an excuse to brush off Hei Xiong's suggestion. But before he could even come up with an excuse, Yin Huan kindly helped him out.

Silver Ring said listlessly, "I don't want to move."

Seeing Yin Huan's appearance, the group sighed. "If Luo Mang were here, perhaps he could find a solution."

After dinner, Yin Huan put down her chopsticks, dragged her stiff legs back to her bedroom, and prepared to continue sleeping. Around ten o'clock, Huo Fei, covered in frost, arrived at Linjiang Residential Area.

As soon as he stepped into the house, the three demons, who were watching TV in the living room, tensed up and instantly went into a defensive stance.

Huo Fei glanced coldly at the three of them, then turned and walked towards Yin Huan's bedroom.

He was extremely reluctant to see this demon near Yin Huan. But for Yin Huan's sake, he had no choice but to endure it. Yin Huan couldn't be without someone by her side; she needed a powerful demon to protect her.

He would be at ease if Luo Mang and Qing Mang were there.

These two demons were the guardian beasts ordained by Silver Ring Heaven, and they were the only ones within his acceptable range. Although... these two might "break up the lovers," he wasn't afraid... because he had the bigger fist.

--mandarin duck?

This is a death wish! It's not even close to being a couple yet, they're still a long way from being together.

Most male demons in heat are irrational.

Huo Fei has been very busy lately, even putting aside his prison management duties. During the day, he stays at Luohan Temple, chanting Buddhist scriptures with the monks and eliminating the demonic spirits suppressed beneath the Buddha statues.

The Demon Prince's soul was extremely powerful. The monks of Luohan Temple chanted sutras day and night, and even after more than half a month, the demonic energy within the demon core remained strong.
