"Yifei, are you... are you alright?"
Nangong Ziyan looked embarrassed. What was wrong with him? Had he lost his mind after just a few days?
"Yan'er, what are you talking about? What could possibly be wrong with me? I got up early this morning to buy you red date cake, isn't that your favorite?"
Dongfang Yifei pointed to the red date cake in his hand, still smiling.
"Yifei! What are you doing? Besides, you never like wearing black clothes. You look really strange to us today."
Nangong Jingqi tilted her head, touching her chin as she looked at Dongfang Yifei.
"Jingqi, what's so strange about that? It's not that I don't like wearing black clothes, it's just that you haven't seen me wearing black clothes before."
"But why do I still feel something's off?" Nangong Jingqi still looked puzzled.
Nangong Ruichen quietly looked at Dongfang Yifei. Based on his understanding of Dongfang Yifei, he knew that he must have some kind of plan.
Bei Ming Haotian held Nangong Ziyan tightly in his arms, looking at Dongfang Yifei with a gloomy face, wondering what trick Dongfang Yifei was up to now.
"By the way, Aunt Jiaorong, where is Uncle Nangong?" Dongfang Yifei did not answer Nangong Jingqi's question.
"He went to prepare for his return to the Liuli Palace in the South China Sea."
Sima Jiaorong did not have a good impression of Dongfang Yifei despite his sudden show of goodwill.
"I see. Then Yifei, let's go to the South China Sea Glass Palace together! The glass exhibition at the South China Sea Glass Palace only lasts a few days, doesn't it?"
Dongfang Yifei looked very enthusiastic, as if he had no lingering resentment about the past.
"The South China Sea Glass Exhibition was originally prepared for all people, so it's fine if you want to go, Yifei!"
Sima Jiaorong didn't say much; after what happened a few days ago, she was very disappointed with Dongfang Yifei's performance.
Dongfang Yifei was not worried by Sima Jiaorong's indifference. Nangong Ziyan would be his in the future, and they would be a family. He would worry about it after they were truly a family.
"Yan'er, here's some red date cake for you." Dongfang Yifei personally placed the red date cake into Nangong Ziyan's hand.
She gave Bei Minghaotian a cold look, then turned and left.
Nangong Ziyan squinted at his back, feeling very worried. It wasn't that she was overly sympathetic, but she knew Dongfang Yifei's stubbornness. His sudden change must have a reason.
Nangong Ziyan casually tossed the red date cake onto the table and then tried to chase after Dongfang Yifei.
Bei Ming Haotian quickly grabbed her.
"Yan'er, where are you going?"
"Haotian, Yifei has a strong murderous aura about him. If Yan'er is not mistaken, Yifei has already started cultivating that secret manual. Yan'er must stop him."
Nangong Ziyan broke free from Beiming Haotian's hand and quickly chased after him.
"Secret manual? What secret manual? And what's with the murderous aura on Yifei's body?"
Nangong Ruichen asked anxiously, noticing that Yan'er seemed very worried.
"I'm not quite sure either. It seems there's more to the story than meets the eye when Yan'er and Dongfang Yifei fell off the cliff. It's as if they both encountered something that's connected to them. Yan'er suspects that Dongfang Yifei might have contracted with Wutian's black dragon divine beast and taken the secret manual he left behind to cultivate."
"The Black Dragon Divine Beast?" Sima Jiaorong exclaimed in surprise, "That's Wutian's contracted divine beast, how could Yifei have had the chance to obtain it?"
Sima Jiaorong looked incredulous, her brows furrowed slightly.
"Mother, who is Wutian?" Nangong Ruichen couldn't help but ask.
“This Wutian is the junior brother of the Holy Lord. He is a vicious man who voluntarily entered the demonic path. The Holy Lord sacrificed himself to kill him. However, all of this happened more than a hundred years ago. Your father has only told me about it. He knows the specifics better.”
Sima Jiaorong no longer hid it; why did she feel that things were becoming increasingly suspicious?
"Yifei, wait a minute!"
Nangong Ziyan, panting heavily, finally caught up with Dongfang Yifei, bending over and gasping for breath.
Dongfang Yifei turned around, looked at her, and couldn't help but smile.
"Yan'er, you're so reluctant to let me go, are you moved by me?"
"Huh!" Nangong Ziyan looked up. This girl could be narcissistic at times, but she had never seen her so narcissistic.
"Who would be reluctant to see you leave, Yifei? Let me finish what I have to say. Are you currently cultivating some kind of mental technique? There is a strong aura of malevolence around you. If you continue cultivating, you will destroy yourself."
Nangong Ziyan looked serious. Having ambition is not scary; falling into the demonic path is the most terrifying thing.
Dongfang Yifei frowned, not expecting her to notice so quickly.
"Yan'er, what are you saying? I don't understand."
Dongfang Yifei pretended to be stupid. He guessed that Nangong Ziyan knew some things, but not all of them.
"Yifei, I'm not joking with you. You must stop cultivating. Do you want to become a demon?" Seeing Dongfang Yifei's nonchalant attitude, Nangong Ziyan became anxious.
"Yan'er, then marry me! As long as you marry me, everything will stop. But even if you don't marry me now, you will be mine in the future."
Dongfang Yifei spoke casually and cheerfully, which left Nangong Ziyan dumbfounded. What was wrong with him? When he fell to the bottom of the cliff, he only hit his waist, not his head!
"Yifei, are you joking? You know I could never marry you."
Nangong Ziyan looked serious. Yifei clearly knew...
"Yan'er, the only person who can make me stop cultivating is you. If you marry me, I will do whatever you say. Yan'er, do you still remember how I used to act foolishly in front of you in order to please you and win your favor? But now I realize that I was wrong, very wrong. What you like is not my flattery, but the cold and ruthless appearance of someone like Bei Ming Haotian. That is my true nature, Dongfang Yifei. If I had approached you with my true nature from the beginning, you would probably already be my wife."
