Chapter 139: I have a question for you.
Ye Fei felt that her little brother had been acting a bit strange lately—no, it should be said that his attitude towards her had completely changed since the time in the Forest of Fireflies.
When she first met him, her first impression of him was that he was a person who did not show his emotions, did not like to talk, had a cold temperament, and always seemed to be cold and aloof.
Now, she occasionally notices a hint of tenderness in his gaze when he looks at her. Although he still appears aloof and unapproachable in front of others, that gentleness is truly reserved for her.
Although Ye Fei looks only thirteen years old, her soul is no longer that of a child. She fell into deep thought: Could this be what is called... love growing over time?
Tsk, but maybe she's overthinking it?!
Looking at the complex expression on the girl's face, Li Yuan's eyes stirred with emotion.
She doesn't seem to understand yet.
Since you don't understand, then...
As he drew closer to Li Yuan, the faint fragrance of the girl's hair seemed to evoke some memory in him, and a flash of purple light suddenly appeared in his dark eyes.
His warm breath sprayed on her neck, and Ye Fei couldn't help but recall the scene in the sea of star flowers when the irrational boy bit her neck. She immediately said, "Don't bite!"
Li Yuan: "...?"
He paused slightly, noticing a hint of panic in Ye Fei's voice, and the purple light in his eyes vanished in an instant.
I won't hurt you.
Li Yuan spoke calmly, finally widening the distance between them. He didn't want to scare her or make her afraid of him.
Ye Fei raised her hand to cover her neck, staring straight at Li Yuan.
Seeing her like this, Li Yuan couldn't help but smile. Her puffed-up face was so adorable that he gently patted her head.
This was the first time Ye Fei had seen him smile so happily; his smile was like a spring breeze melting the ice and snow in the deepest cold.
She blinked and looked at him curiously: "Li, so you're not expressionless after all?"
Li Yuan: "..."
The smile on his face vanished quickly, and he reverted to his usual aloof demeanor.
"I'm leaving now." Without waiting for Ye Fei to speak, Li Yuan turned and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Ye Fei: "..."
She scratched her head, somewhat puzzled. Was he... angry?

Li Yuan returned to his dormitory, his mind filled with the image of him uncontrollably approaching her earlier.
"Your Majesty," Bai's figure appeared behind Li Yuan, "there are still three days until the night of the full moon."
After a while, Jiang Bai still hadn't heard a reply from his Emperor, so he secretly raised his eyes to look—
His Emperor pursed his thin lips, deep in thought, his long, sword-like eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if pondering something that had troubled him for a long time.
Jiang Bai couldn't help but wonder why the Venerable One had such an expression.
For a moment, no one spoke in the room; the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
With a stiff upper lip, Bai could only call out to him again: "Your Excellency..."
Li Yuan turned and glanced at Jiang Bai. After a moment, he suddenly said, "I have a question for you. Answer truthfully."
He mounted the white horse with a respectful attitude: "Your Excellency, please speak!"
Li Yuan hesitated for a moment: "Have you ever had romantic feelings for other women?"
Jiang Bai: "..."
Jiang Bai: "???"
Seeing his subordinate's blank expression, Li Yuan seemed to find the question rather strange. He coughed lightly and waved his hand, "Alright, you can go now."
Bai realized what was happening and answered truthfully, "I have followed Your Excellency for many years and have always been loyal to you. Naturally, I have no time to associate with women! To me, everything in the Demon Realm is far more important than romantic love!"
