Chapter 24
"I just want to eat it."
“Ah Yun, I’m the older sister.”
"You dare disobey your sister?!"
"Ah Yun, come and take a look."
“Ah Yun.”
“Ah Yun.”
......
Because of her special identity, Xi Yunliu did not reveal her real name, but instead made up a name for a demon named "Ayun" who was inexplicably caught up in the war.
He was driven to a real headache by Yingning's constant calling of "A-Yun," and he always gave in to her requests in the end.
He even forced himself to call her "sister".
The bottom line kept retreating in her face.
At these times, Yingning would be very happy, and occasionally she would gently touch his demon horns.
It was a snowy day.
Xi Yunliu stood in the room, facing the window.
"Your Majesty, all the rebellious demons have been eliminated. You may now return to the Demon Realm." A voice from one of his demonic subordinates emanated from a wisp of demonic energy.
He had just recovered from his illness and immediately notified his subordinates in the demon realm.
I learned from my subordinates that the Demon Realm has been in a state of chaos due to the fall of the Demon Lord and the disappearance of the Crown Prince.
Some powerful demon kings even took advantage of this opportunity to plan their domination of the demon realm and declare themselves supreme.
Seeing this, Xi Yunliu did not immediately appear in the Demon Realm, but instead plotted behind the scenes and eliminated them one by one.
"Yes, I will return immediately on another day."
After saying that, he casually waved his hand to cut off the transmission from the Demon Realm.
Her crystal-clear purple eyes gazed into the courtyard and witnessed this scene.
Despite the snow-covered landscape, the woman in the scarlet dress in the courtyard seemed completely unfazed by the cold, wearing only a thin layer of clothing.
At that moment, she happily brushed away the snowflakes floating on the swing.
This swing was something she insisted on having made herself, saying that there was a swing on the sycamore tree in her yard when she was a child.
The crimson figure, beneath the pure white snow, is the most dazzling color in the world.
Xi Yunliu watched quietly.
It's as if this courtyard is the most beautiful place in the world.
Sitting on the swing, Yingning felt Xi Yunliu's gaze, her eyes immediately lit up, she waved at him, and shouted loudly:
"Ah Yun, come and push me."
Upon hearing the sound, Xi Yunliu came to the courtyard and walked to her side.
There was still a trace of emotion in Baoyu's crystal eyes, and his noble aura could no longer be concealed.
Unlike Yingning, who was dressed in thin clothes, he was draped in a dark cloak. In the past few months, he had grown quite a bit taller and was about to surpass Yingning in height.
She said, "Ayun, you're too weak. What if you get sick again and I have to take care of you?"
"You need to dress warmly."
She didn't know that as a demon lord, the snow here wasn't cold at all for her.
But she still found him this cloak.
Xi Yunliu walked behind the swing, gently pushed it, and looking at Ying Ning's smiling face, suddenly spoke:
"Sister, would you like to come with me to a new place?"
"Are you going out? To the street?" Yingning asked, pretending not to know.
"Heading to...the Demon Realm."
The words "Demon Realm" stuck in his throat. He knew that the people of the Immortal Realm did not welcome the Demon Realm at this moment, but he still said it.
People who are inherently domineering believe that the people or things they mark must belong to them.
"Going to the Demon Realm?" The woman on the swing turned her head and looked at herself in confusion.
“Yes, I need to return to the Demon Realm in a few days. Would you like to come with me, sister?” Xi Yunliu asked.
"Will it take a long time? If it's just a few days, I can accompany you to the Demon Realm, and we can have some fun."
"About four or five days," he lied.
"good."

The two made a promise that the Lantern Festival in the border town would be in a few days, and after the festival, they would go to the Demon Realm.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, crowds thronged the area.
"Awoo."
A face painted with ugly monsters suddenly appeared in front of Xi Yunliu.
Xi Yunliu removed the mask with some helplessness. The woman beneath the mask had bright eyes and white teeth, but her expression showed a hint of unhappiness.
"Ah Yun, why weren't you scared?"
"This mask isn't scary at all. There are plenty of things in the Demon Realm that are far more terrifying than this." Xi Yunliu's eyes held an unconscious doting affection as she slowly removed the ghostly mask.
"Then tell me what's in the Demon Realm. I'm getting excited about going there in a few days."
Xi Yunliu told her about the nine-headed serpent demon in the Demon Abyss and the hundred-eyed soul-devouring tiger spider in the Fallen Demon Cliff.
The two strolled slowly through the bustling streets of the border town.
Lanterns, each one shimmering with light and color.
Yingning was admiring a rabbit-shaped glass lamp; the light projected by the glass shards gently fell on her face.
Xi Yunliu did not admire the lanterns, but quietly kept looking at Yingning.
With her crimson lips and phoenix eyes, she surpasses even the most exquisite glass in beauty.
"Ah Yun, look at this glass cup." Ying Ning bought the rabbit-shaped glass cup, held it up to Xi Yunliu's eyes, and excitedly exclaimed:
"It looks like your eyes."
Xi Yunliu's eyes were extremely beautiful; under the light of the glass lamp, her dark purple pupils were much brighter than usual.
Xi Yunliu took the rabbit-shaped glass lamp, played with it in her hands, and seemed to be thinking about something when she spoke.
"Really? But I'm not a little rabbit."
Yingning knew his true nature, but she still said something.
"Hmm, prettier than a rabbit."
Xi Yunliu chuckled softly.
He didn't understand why he would occasionally feel a sudden surge of joy in his heart over the past few months.
However, following long-standing habits, he designated Yingning as his own property.
How could he not bring such an interesting pet back to the Demon Realm?
For some unknown reason, a large crowd suddenly surged forward.
Xi Yunliu and Ying Ning were about to be separated by the current.
Suddenly, a cold hand tightly enveloped Yingning's right hand.
"Ah Yun...you..."
Xi Yunliu held the rabbit-shaped glass lamp in one hand and Ying Ning in the other. After feeling the soft, boneless touch in her palm, she tightened her grip even more.
He pulled Yingning to his side before slowly speaking:
"Sister, don't get lost."
The Lantern Festival ended very late. Xi Yunliu simply stayed with Yingning, watching her walk past each lantern and talk to her with a smile.
Xi Yunliu didn't even notice the affection that was overflowing in his own eyes.
If she likes it, I can accompany her to the Lantern Festival once a year.
Even after it was over, the two still held hands as they walked home.
"I'm too tired, let's go home."
"Okay, let's go back."
Xi Yunliu liked hearing the word "home" from her.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xi Yunliu sensed several murderous auras suddenly appearing around her.
They're all here because of him and Yingning!
His expression turned cold as he shielded Ying Ning behind him.
"Ah Yun, what's wrong?"
"Sister, don't come out."
A demon with terrible scars on his face slowly emerged from the darkness and said:
"I heard that the Demon Lord has been bewitched by a female immortal in the celestial realm, and he spends his days indulging in passionate lovemaking, thus delaying his return to the Demon Realm."
Seeing it today, it turns out it wasn't just a rumor.
The sarcasm and hatred in his words were quite obvious.
This person was none other than the Bone Demon King from the Demon Realm, one of the rebellious demon kings that Xi Yunliu had eliminated.
"Genggu, you've long been a spendthrift dog."
"If you don't want to lose your life, leave this place immediately, and I might spare your life," Xi Yunliu said coldly.
He was with Yingning today and didn't want to cause any more trouble.
Even more fearful was that the swords and blades would harm Yingning.
