Chapter 217: The War of the Future
When Bai noticed the Emperor's murderous glare, he whimpered, "Um... Your Majesty, I can explain!"
"Explain," Li Yuan forced out through gritted teeth.
Bai knelt down on one knee: "Your subordinate has followed Your Majesty's orders and has found Huang Rongyu, Yu Muhan, and Yun Fusang."
Hearing Jiang Bai say those words, Ye Fei, who was nestled in Li Yuan's arms, immediately pulled away and struggled to sit up: "Are Rong Yu and the others alright?!"
Li Yuan raised his hand again and gently pressed down on Ye Fei, glancing at her: "Lie down, don't move around."
Ye Fei had no choice but to lie down again, but her nervous gaze was still fixed on Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai said to Ye Fei, "Empress... no, Miss Ye, your three teammates are not safe and sound."
Ye Fei breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that they were alright...
"Didn't I tell you to use the communication stone to notify me after you found Huang Rongyu?" Li Yuan frowned, his face still dark, seemingly still angry that Bai's sudden appearance had interrupted his good deed.
"Your Excellency, the transmission stone has run out of transmission attempts..." Jiang Bai gave an awkward yet polite smile.
It wasn't that he disobeyed His Majesty's orders, but rather that the last use of the communication stone had been used up, leaving him no choice but to come personally to inform His Majesty.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have disturbed the Emperor and Empress's loving relationship!
Li Yuan: "..."
Ye Fei couldn't help but laugh out loud. She tugged at Li Yuan's sleeve and winked at him, "Don't blame Jiang Bai."
Looking into her clear eyes, Li Yuan's resentment subsided slightly, and he reluctantly hummed in agreement.
Bai's tense heart relaxed, and she turned to look at Ye Fei, asking with concern, "Miss Ye, how is your injury?"
Ye Fei shook her head: "I'm fine. I'm so sorry to have worried you all."
Li Yuan gave Jiang Bai a look, and Jiang Bai, receiving the Emperor's order, immediately withdrew.
"I detected a trace of the Blazing Holy Dragon's breath on you. Did you encounter the ruler of the demon realm before you lost consciousness?"
Without anyone else to bother him, Li Yuan leaned down and kissed her peacefully, then asked about the matter.
Ye Fei took out the small bone flute that Chi Ye had given her: "Well, Chi Ye was besieged by the Holy Church, and I helped her, so she gave me this."
Li Yuan took the bone flute and examined it for a moment, then said calmly, "This bone flute was made from her dragon bones. The trace of dragon breath I sensed must have come from this bone flute."
However, Chi Ye's extreme hatred for humans led him to give Fei'er a bone flute made from his own dragon bones... This was somewhat unexpected.
Ye Fei frowned as she thought of the white-robed men of the Holy Order: "My battle with the Holy Order finally showed me how despicable this seemingly holy force really is... Just because Chi Ye is the incarnation of a Holy Dragon, they want to kill her and forcibly seize her symbols."
Li Yuan brushed a strand of her hair aside, his eyes deep and unfathomable: "The Holy Church and my Demon Clan are already locked in a bitter struggle. It wants to kill Chi Ye not only to obey its so-called holiness, but also to seize everything Chi Ye has in order to fight against the Demon Clan."
"The demon race and the human race will still have war in the near future."
Ye Fei felt that this topic was too heavy.
Even if Li Yuan doesn't have the desire to kill right now, there will always be forces that want to completely eradicate the demon race.
As things stand now, the idea of humans and demons finding a way to coexist remains nothing but a pipe dream.
