Chapter 170: You're unwilling?
There was a human stool for her, and Ye Fei leaned back against Li Yuan without any pretense, comfortably half-closing her eyes: "Go on, I'm listening."
Li Yuan stretched his slender fingers to Ye Fei's neck, then picked out the black ring from Ye Fei's collar: "It all started with this ring."
Ye Fei asked, puzzled, "A ring? What's wrong with this ring?"
"You may not know this, but there's a drop of my blood in your ring."
"...Huh?" Ye Fei opened her mouth, she really didn't know that.
Ye Fei took the ring from Li Yuan's hand and examined it carefully in the candlelight. There was a drop of liquid on the hollow glass of the ring.
She had noticed something strange in the ring a long time ago, but she never expected it to be blood, let alone that it was Li Yuan's blood.
“The ring was left to me by my mother,” Ye Fei said. “I have never seen my mother’s face, and I don’t know why there is your blood in the ring she gave me.”
Li Yuan's eyes darkened slightly. In his memory, he had never been in contact with any other woman besides her, and he would never have passed on his blood to someone else.
"So you chased me all the way from the Abyss of the Burial Gods because there's your blood in my ring?" Ye Fei asked again.
Li Yuan coughed lightly and said somewhat awkwardly, "You suddenly fell into my medicinal pool, and given your ruthless methods, and the fact that I sensed the presence of that drop of blood, I assumed you were sent by Thorn, so... I decided to kill you."
Ye Fei: "...Good heavens, you disguised yourself as a teenager just to kill me?"
"Are you scared?" Li Yuan asked her softly.
Ye Fei narrowed her eyes, her slender fingers tightly clasped with his: "The word 'fear' doesn't exist in my dictionary, Ye Fei. No matter who you are, I won't be afraid."
“I have killed many people, and my hands are already stained with blood.” Li Yuan said in a gloomy tone, “Of course, your human race also hates me to the bone. If you stand shoulder to shoulder with me, you will be rejected by your own kind.”
Ye Fei shook her head and said frankly, "Li Yuan, we like each other because we are attracted to each other. Even if the whole world is against you, I will stand by your side."
"Besides, just because you're not a good person, does that mean I'm a saint?"
The girl curled her lips into a wicked smile and lightly patted the spot on his arm where the hidden arrow was concealed: "You think my hands are clean, given that I can design such a deadly weapon?"
Li Yuan paused for a moment, then gently stroked her cheek with his fingers, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Indeed, I am drawn to your soul, and that is why I love you."
"By the way, Thorn calls you Your Highness Demon Lord, what is your true identity? Are you some kind of ruler?"
Li Yuan paused for a moment, then replied, "You guessed right."
Ye Fei turned to look at him, surprised, and asked, "Are you the ruler of the Demon Realm?"
"Hmm." Li Yuan played with her hair and smiled gently: "Other races will call me Demon Lord or Emperor. When you enter my Demon Realm, you will naturally be called Empress."
A suspicious blush crept onto Ye Fei's face. She coughed and said in a deliberately profound tone, "Who agreed to marry you?"
"You refuse?" The Emperor narrowed his long, narrow phoenix eyes dangerously, his expression extremely displeased.
Would she dare to marry any other man besides him?
Isn't he enough for us?!
Ye Fei snorted lightly: "I am still young and my cultivation level is not high enough, so naturally I cannot marry you."
