Chapter 1515 The Canary is Finally Coming Out of the Cage
As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Yi suddenly felt several burning gazes falling on her.
Bu Yingxue habitually looked at her elder sister, and they both tacitly felt that this newly arrived mortal doctor had an unusual relationship with the Demon Lord.
Bu Yingyue raised her eyebrows slightly towards Yan Yi, and keenly smelled the strong smell of gossip.
Yan Yi immediately realized that she had become too proud and said the wrong thing. She looked back guiltily at Wen Huoran.
The villain was calm and composed, as if he hadn't heard what she had just said. Yan Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Yi," Bu Yingyue spoke first, breaking the silence in the room, "In two days, during the Dragon Boat Festival, there will be a dragon boat race in Tanzhou City. Would you like to go with us?"
Hearing this, Yan Yi was filled with gratitude. On the one hand, the other party sincerely invited her to go with him, which made her feel very cordial.
Besides, she had been locked up in the Demon Lord's mansion for several days in a row and was already tired of it. She was about to get sick from being cooped up, so she took this opportunity to go out for some fresh air.
Although in the original book, she was a captive canary, a caged bird, not knowing what freedom was. But who said that a book traveler couldn't change the original book's setting!
"Can I?"
Seeing her asking cautiously, Bu Yingyue couldn't help but frown, "Why not? My father is at home!"
After saying this, she seemed to realize something, glanced at Wen Huoran with a complicated expression, and asked politely, "Your Majesty, would you allow us to take her with us?"
This is exactly what Yan Yi was worried about.
Although she was eager to try to change the original setting and change Canary's tragic fate, the villain's temperament was unpredictable. If he fell ill and did not allow her to leave Fuyu Mountain, all her plans would be in vain.
"Okay." Wen Huoran was abnormally magnanimous.
Yan Yi immediately became alert, and couldn't help but suspect that the other party was holding back some big trick, waiting to settle the score with her.
She was secretly wondering about the villain's ill intentions when she suddenly heard Wen Xuran admonish her, "Don't cause any trouble."
Yan Yi nodded repeatedly in agreement. The canary was finally about to be released from the cage!
Bu Yingyue was full of confidence. She waved her hand gracefully and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. We are very stable and reliable siblings. We will never let anyone hurt her."
"Sister..." Bu Yingxue gently pulled her sleeve, wanting to say something but stopping herself. She almost caused trouble on Fuyu Mountain yesterday.
At that time, the two discovered that there was demonic energy rising in the center of Taihu Lake. Without thinking too much, Bu Yingyue plunged into Taihu Lake and almost destroyed the defensive barrier set up by Wen Huoran.
Bu Yingyue glared at him sideways, coughed dryly as if to cover up, and explained to herself, "Your Majesty, I promise not to do anything reckless."
Judging from Wen Huoran's expression, he obviously has a very close relationship with the brother and sister and understands their temperaments quite well.
He didn't say much, just raised his eyes and glanced at Yan Yi. Yan Yi inexplicably read a warning in his eyes.
Could it be that the villain is worried that he might do something and is looking for an opportunity to escape?
That's really overthinking it.
The task assigned by the system has not even started yet, how could she disregard her own life and death and run away without permission!
"Yingyue, how are we going to get to Tanzhou City then?" After all, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get some fresh air. Yan Yi couldn't contain his excitement and joy in his heart, and couldn't help but ask.
Bu Yingyue: "Use the teleportation array. Do you know how this array works?"
"I know." The corner of Yan Yi's mouth twitched, thinking of the last time she went to the Ice Continent, she made her stomach churn in the teleportation array, and she almost vomited all over Wen Feng.
"Okay, we'll come pick you up then." Bu Yingyue made a move to leave, but as she reached the door, she suddenly remembered something. She turned around and stared at Bu Shu, saying meaningfully, "Father, when will you return home? We'll have an explanation for Mother."
Bu Shu looked ashamed and whispered something to Wen Huoran, then walked towards the door. "Daddy will go back with you guys right now."
-
Two days later, the sky was clear and the air was blue, making it a great day for a trip.
As the hour of Mao arrived, Yan Yi got up to wash and put on makeup. She changed into a brightly colored dress and dressed herself up so neatly and presentably.
She was so excited that she put a box of spare perfume powder in her arms and paced back and forth in the room holding Xiaoli, feeling very uncomfortable.
After a long wait until the hour of Si, Bu Yingyue and her brother finally arrived.
"Xiaoyi!" Bu Yingyue called her loudly, then ran over and winked at her exaggeratedly.
This made Yan Yi feel quite uncomfortable, and he thought that he had overdone it and dressed too flamboyantly.
She was at a loss as to what to do, but then she heard Bu Yingyue let out a long sigh and said happily, "The last time I saw you dressed so simply, I thought you were used to not wearing any makeup!"
Yan Yi smiled awkwardly. He was just a hard worker and had no time to bother himself, let alone facing the biggest villain in the book every day.
Seeing her quiet and somewhat awkward appearance, Bu Yingyue's curiosity grew stronger and stronger, and she couldn't help but ask her, "What do you think of Your Majesty?"
Yan Yi was confused and felt that the other party was going to introduce her to a blind date. "That's great," she said hypocritically.
Bu Yingyue's gossipy appetite was not satisfied, so she continued to lead her on: "Your Majesty was very approachable when he was young, unlike now when he is so difficult to get along with, and sees everyone as a spy..."
Yan Yi became interested, "When you were young?"
Bu Yingyue blinked proudly, "You wouldn't believe it, would you? We grew up together, Your Majesty. My brother and I have heard something else."
Yan Yi was not surprised. The villain interacted with Bu Yingyue and her brother in a casual manner, which did not seem like a traditional superior-subordinate relationship.
"Sister, it's getting late, let's go!" Seeing the two of them whispering to each other, Bu Yingxue couldn't help but urge them.
The teleportation formation accurately sent the three people to a small stream outside Tanzhou City, which was quite close to the Tanzhou city gate. The three people tidied up their messy clothes and rushed to the city gate with great interest.
"There are so many people!" Yan Yi couldn't help but sigh. The huge crowds of people in front of him were no less than the Dragon Boat Festival holiday in the real world.
Bu Yingyue continued, "The Dragon Boat Race during the Dragon Boat Festival is the biggest entertainment event in the Demon Realm. Every year, many talented people come to participate, and—"
She suddenly leaned close to Yan Yi's ear and whispered mysteriously, "There will be people of other races disguised as others, blending in with the crowd."
"Ah?" Yan Yi didn't understand what specific species the other races were referring to. They couldn't all be ordinary mortals like her, right?
Could he be a cultivator, or a demon?
Bu Yingxue seemed to see the confusion in her eyes, so she patiently explained, "Some practitioners attempt to take shortcuts, waiting for an opportunity to sneak into the Demon Realm and search for the furnace that will aid their cultivation."
Yan Yi understood what was said. After all, she had read countless novels. What kind of fantasy novels had she not read?
"Let's go!" Bu Yingyue took out a jade pass from her arms and told the two to quickly catch up with the queue.
The three of them were pushed by the crowd to the Miyun River where the dragon boat race was taking place. The race had not yet begun. Looking out, apart from the heads of people, the river stretched as far as the eye could see.
With an order, the crowd began to stir.
At first, Yan Yi thought that the demons watching the game were too excited and did not take it seriously.
She grabbed Bu Yingyue's sleeve with one hand, followed her steps and squeezed into the crowd, trying to squeeze to the front row to get a clearer look.
As I was walking, someone suddenly grabbed my wrist with such force that my wrist bone was almost broken.
She originally thought it was Bu Yingyue, but then she thought again, Bu Yingyue was walking in front of her, how could she turn around and pull her left hand that was hanging by her side? Besides, she was holding the other person's sleeve the whole time, and Bu Yingyue knew it.
It was even less likely to be Bu Yingxue. He was tall and stood out among the crowd. He was walking in front of Bu Yingyue to lead the way.
Yan Yi immediately became alert, her intuition told her that she had encountered the legendary lecher.
In order to avoid causing panic among the crowd and a stampede, she suppressed her disgust and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
Until the three of them passed through the crowded crowd and came to a place with a wider view, she hurriedly let go of Bu Yingyue's sleeve, quickly took out the pre-prepared perfume powder from her bosom, and without even looking at it, sprinkled it directly at the person who was holding her wrist behind her.
This box of powder contains several spicy spices, which is similar to the anti-wolf spray in the real world. Although it cannot kill the lecher, it can at least irritate his eyes and force him to let go.
However, things went against his wishes. The other party seemed unaware and increased the strength in his hands. He grabbed Yan Yi and was about to jump into the river.
Yan Yi was so frightened that his back felt cold and fine beads of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Fortunately, Bu Yingyue noticed something was wrong as soon as she let go of her hand, and quickly pulled her behind her and struck the man in the chest with a palm.
She used 50% of her magic power in this palm strike, but the person who attacked Yan Yi stood firmly in place, as solid as a rock.
Bu Yingyue was startled for a moment, then realized that the other person was not an ordinary person, but rather seemed to be——
"Sister, this person has been attacked by evil spirits and has lost his mind." Bu Yingxue immediately told the truth.
Yan Yi suddenly shouted, "Yingyue, be careful behind you!"
Without time to look back, Bu Yingyue's eyebrows jumped, and she carried Yan Yi on her shoulders and jumped onto a stone bridge over the Miyun River.
Bu Yingxue broke free from a group of low-level demons that were entangled around him and came up to the two of them.
"What's going on? I haven't heard that Tanzhou City was also invaded by evil spirits!" Yan Yi lay on Bu Yingyue's shoulder and couldn't help but ask questions.
Bu Yingyue's expression lost its usual casualness and became serious. "Yingxue, tell His Majesty that there are too many demons invading this place due to the evil spirit. It's beyond our ability to deal with it alone."
Bu Yingxue glanced at the demons rushing towards the bridge and nodded cautiously.
Bu Yingyue's cultivation was far superior to his brother's, and he was fully focused on killing monsters and covering the rear. Bu Yingxue just carried Yan Yi to escape, and the three of them quickly broke through the encirclement.
After leaving Tanzhou City, Bu Yingxue stopped and put Yan Yi on a clean piece of grass.
Yan Yi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and dared not even breathe. Now he was able to take a breath. From the corner of his eye he saw that there was a huge tear on Bu Yingxue's right shoulder, and blood was oozing out.
"Yingxue, your shoulder is injured."
"It's okay, it's just..." Before he could finish his words, he couldn't help but let out a hiss, as if he was in great pain.
Yan Yi hurriedly walked forward and tore open the cloth on the wound, revealing a striking bite mark before her eyes.
Bu Yingyue walked over and glanced at the wound, then said cautiously, "Yingxue, this low-level demon has been attacked by demonic energy and is unconscious. There's a deadly poison in his body, so he needs to be treated immediately."
Yan Yi immediately panicked and spoke incoherently: "I-I didn't bring my medicine box with me. Let's go back as soon as possible."
The wound on Bu Yingxue's shoulder festered very quickly. In just a moment, the skin from his shoulder to his elbow was charred black. He had no choice but to switch shoulders and carry Yan Yi to escape.
Seeing that the pursuers were approaching and there was no chance to draw a teleportation array, the two had to cast a spell to teleport back to the Demon Lord's residence.
The three of them went straight to Yan Yi's residence. When they arrived at the door of the mansion, they saw Wen Huoran walking hurriedly towards them, leading a group of Demon Realm guards.
"Your Majesty——" Bu Yingxue called softly.
Wen Huoran stopped in his tracks. Seeing the three people in such a mess, as if they were fleeing, he couldn't help but frown, "How can you be so flustered?" His gaze fell on Bu Yingxue.
Yan Yi was already confused and disoriented by all the magical powers, and he didn't react for a long time.
Wen Huoran: "Are you injured?"
Hearing this, Bu Yingxue seemed to realize something, her face slightly uneasy. She quickly lowered the person from her shoulder and explained, "Your Majesty, Miss Yan is not injured, she's just frightened."
Yan Yi stood there in a daze, his head still dizzy and not yet fully awake.
When his eyes fell on Bu Yingxue's charred and festering arm, he was horrified and couldn't help but scream. He quickly ran over and grabbed his wrist.
When he looked up, he saw the villain standing not far away, staring at him.
"Your Majesty..." She felt guilty for no reason and quickly let go of Bu Yingxue's arm. She put her hands behind her back and dared not say a word.
