Chapter 32 Demon Lord Li Ye, is that your deceased…
"To be disrespectful to you?" Li Ye scoffed. "You wish!"
Although he said that, he didn't push Si Yao away, letting her hook her neck around his neck.
Si Yao said, "Isn't that right? That's what all those erotic books say. If a man says something like 'I'll teach you a lesson,' he'll usually do something indecent to a woman next."
A hint of disdain flashed in Li Ye's eyes, and his voice was icy, "You have a thick skin and a vivid imagination. You are utterly shameless."
Hearing him insult her like that, Si Yao didn't take it seriously. Instead, she sneered, "You got angry just from teasing me a few times? How can a dignified Demon Lord act like a chaste and virtuous woman?"
Li Ye's eyes reddened even more. He had a slight intention to plan the attack just now, but now he was resolute.
He stepped back and stood in front of Si Yao's bed. He flipped his right hand, and a stream of pure demonic energy formed a seal in his hand before pressing towards Si Yao's dantian.
"Bang--"
Just as his demonic seal was about to reach Si Yao, it was inexplicably shaken back.
The powerful shockwave forced Li Ye to take several steps back.
He took a deep breath. It seemed that it still wouldn't work.
Si Yao felt no pain or discomfort, and with her eyes glazed over from drunkenness, she had no idea what Li Ye had just done to her.
Completely bewildered, she looked up and asked, "Demon Lord, why did you suddenly retreat? Where did your previous imposing aura go?"
Li Ye's eyes were almost sharp enough to cut knives. He only regretted that he couldn't remove the primordial spirit right now, otherwise he would never have allowed Si Yao to shout at him like that.
Si Yao noticed his "we'll see" look on his face and couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing Si Yao's laughter, Li Ye felt extremely annoyed, but he couldn't do anything about it, so he walked straight over and pressed her back onto the bed.
"Stop tossing and turning, get some sleep."
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the blanket next to him and casually covered Si Yao with it before turning away.
As her intoxication intensified, Si Yao's eyelids grew heavy, and she fell asleep soon after lying down.
I slept straight through until noon.
When Si Yao woke up, she felt as if her head was about to split open, and she was in excruciating pain.
Besides, her throat was dry after drinking, and Si Yao felt like it was on fire. She couldn't help but call out, "Water... Xiao Yezi... get me some water..."
After sending a telepathic message, Li Ye, who was in his room, came over and, at Si Yao's request, brought her a cup of warm tea.
Si Yao downed the drink in one gulp, rubbing her temples. "I swear, I'll never drink again."
The more dignified Si Yao was while drinking last night, the more regretful she is today.
Her discomfort did not subside; on the contrary, due to the alcohol, her stomach felt even worse.
Li Ye, standing to the side, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Last night I suggested you take a hangover pill, but you refused."
“Last night…” Si Yao’s head was already throbbing. She frowned. “Did you bring me back last night?”
Li Ye's eyes slowly darted around before he looked her over. "You don't remember?"
Si Yao shook her head. "I really don't remember. I only remember drinking with Qian Xi. What happened after that?"
Li Ye closed his eyes slightly, his expression relaxing. "You blacked out."
Indeed, as Li Ye said, the memory of the period from the main hall of the Hehuan Sect to the Chuixue Courtyard seemed to have been extracted.
"I really shouldn't drink too much alcohol. I woke up and forgot everything."
Si Yao muttered to herself, but her mind was still trying to recall.
Her memories were fragmented, and no matter how she tried to piece them together, she couldn't recall a complete scene.
Li Ye let out a muffled chuckle, "If you can't drink it, don't try to be a hero next time."
Si Yao's temples still hurt, and her throat was uncomfortable. She waved her hand and said, "Pour me another cup of tea."
Upon hearing this, Li Ye remained unmoved.
Si Yao exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Yezi?"
She had a feeling that the other person would say something like, "How dare you order me around like that?"
Fortunately, Li Ye didn't pause for too long. After pouring the tea, he placed it in front of Si Yao.
After Si Yao finished drinking, she stared intently at Li Ye.
“I think I remember now,” she suddenly said.
Li Ye remained calm, showing no sign of panic. He sat quietly to the side, listening attentively.
Si Yao said, "Last night you escorted me into the house, and it seemed you also admitted to something important."
Li Ye tilted his head, seemingly quite interested, "Important things? Tell me about them, and help me remember."
"You said you are..." Si Yao, still somewhat evasive, hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "You said you are Li Ye."
"Is there?"
"I think so..." Si Yao's voice trailed off.
Li Ye smiled enigmatically, “If you yourself are not sure, it means what you’re saying is probably something that happened in your dream.”
"In a dream?" Si Yao's eyes widened slightly, and then she actually started to brainwash herself.
She rubbed her head and closed her eyes. "Was it just another dream?"
Li Ye nodded and said leisurely, "Most likely, anyway, I don't remember ever saying those words."
Si Yao's gaze was fixed on him, her eyes filled with doubt, "Really not?"
“Master,” Li Ye called out to her solemnly, and emphasized, “You must be dreaming. What happens in your dream has nothing to do with me.”
Si Yao's body slumped, and she sat blankly on the bed.
However, Li Ye, without blushing or skipping a beat, asked, "Who is Li Ye? Your old flame?"
Old flame?
Si Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "No, no, don't talk nonsense!"
Li Ye spoke slowly and deliberately, "When you named me 'Little Yezi,' were you reminiscing about him?"
"You even made that connection?" Si Yao raised an eyebrow. "With such an imagination, I suggest you start making up stories, apprentice. Come up with a few more erotic stories so I can have a taste."
Li Ye turned his gaze over, his eyes slowly lingering on her face. "So, was I right or not?"
Si Yao shrugged. "Okay, you're right. I do miss him a bit. If he hadn't died, he might be your master's father by now."
Li Ye: "..."
He frowned. "Master, she really is confident."
If he weren't confined to this body, if his primordial spirit hadn't returned to its rightful place, otherwise, how could Si Yao have survived until now?
The more Li Ye thought about it, the angrier he became.
"Unfortunately, I may never see that day." Li Ye's words had a hidden meaning, but Si Yao didn't dwell on them.
As they talked, a gentle breeze blew in from outside, and Si Yao's drunkenness gradually subsided. She looked towards the window, where a desk stood, upon which were displayed the various erotic books and picture albums she had collected in the past.
Si Yao got off the ground and walked lightly to the desk with bare feet. Her slender fingers caressed the books, and finally she pulled out "The Chronicles of the Nine Provinces".
She turned back, flipped through several pages of "The Chronicles of the Nine Provinces," and finally stopped at a portrait of a person.
"Look, my apprentice."
Upon hearing this, Li Ye looked at the picture book that Si Yao pointed to. He saw that the figure in the painting had long, bright eyes and a sinister and wicked look between his brows. His tall figure was dressed in a black robe, like a hawk in the night.
After a moment, Li Ye shifted his gaze to Si Yao and asked calmly, "Who is he?"
Si Yao pointed again and again, "There's an annotation on it: the sect leader of Chonglou Sect, Demon Lord Li Ye! Your deceased master's father!"
Li Ye: "…………"
His eyebrows twitched, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He seemed to be angry, but he had to suppress it.
"Oh." Finally, he replied indifferently, "Did Master agree to call him my master's father?"
"Haha..." Si Yao laughed out loud, "It doesn't matter, he's already dead anyway, whether he agrees or not doesn't matter."
Li Ye was furious, his face turned black, and his tightly clenched hands didn't know what to do with them.
Having witnessed Si Yao's shamelessness once again, Li Ye had no choice but to slip away first.
He hurriedly left Si Yao's bedroom and went to sit down under the locust tree to meditate.
His spiritual senses summoned Yan Ao; at this moment, he needed someone to confide in.
"Absolutely outrageous!"
As the spirit of the artifact, Yan Ao immediately echoed his master's angry curses, "That woman's skin is indeed thicker than a city wall!"
After he finished speaking, he continued, "That was close; she almost recognized His Excellency."
With his eyes closed, Li Ye continued to reply to Yan Ao in his mind, "She has no evidence. As long as I don't admit it, she can only suspect it."
Yan Ao smiled and said, "Luckily, she got drunk and blacked out last night. Otherwise, given her persistent nature, she might have kept pestering Your Excellency with questions."
Li Ye took a deep breath and did not respond to the question. Instead, he said, "I tried last night. Even though the main and secondary souls have now merged, my cultivation level is only at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage. Perhaps because of this, I still cannot extract the primordial spirit from her body."
At this point, Li Ye's eyes flashed, "Yan Ao, you should go back to the Wilderness and consult the ancient books at Elder Zong Ying's place to see if there is a more appropriate method to extract the primordial spirit."
Upon hearing this, Yan Ao immediately replied, "Yes, I will go right away."
A breeze stirred under the locust tree. Yan Ao was gone. Li Ye lifted his eyelids and quietly gazed into the distance.
In the days that followed, after Si Yao reported the appearance of a strange black mist in Yan Yuzong, the Hehuan Sect was on high alert and patrolled constantly. However, the Hehuan Sect remained peaceful.
Days passed, and several months later, the enthronement ceremony of Xiao Shengyuan, the new island lord of Tianchen Island in Tianchen Prefecture, one of the Nine Provinces, will be held on Tianchen Island in fifteen days.
Not only the Hehuan Sect, but also other sects and factions received invitations from Tianchen Island.
At noon that day, Si Yao came to Qingfeng Stream and stayed by her disciple who was meditating.
When he opened his eyes, Si Yao said, "Disciple, we have things to do now. We'll set off for Tianchen Island tomorrow."
Tianchen Island can be considered a well-known major sect, and all sects must attend the grand ceremony of the island lord's succession.
In addition to Sect Master Yan Yu personally visiting the island to offer his congratulations, the sect elders also had to bring representatives of their disciples to the event.
However, the Hehuan Sect could not be left empty-handed. Considering the possibility of unforeseen circumstances, Sect Master Yan Yu would arrive three days before the Tianchen Island Grand Ceremony. In addition, Elder Gong Chende of the Yaoguang Academy would remain in the sect.
Si Yao told Li Ye the purpose of their trip to Tianchen Island, and then said, "This time, we and the Shuhan Academy have to set off first. The sect leader's intention is for us to stay on Tianchen Island a few days in advance."
Shuhan Courtyard, which means that Si Yao will have to travel with Yu Ke this time.
