Chapter 238: The Promise
Li Yuan frowned unhappily, his warning gaze sweeping directly at Du.
His people are not for his contracted beasts to teach a lesson...
Upon seeing this, Ye Fei grabbed Li Yuan's sleeve, shook her head, and indicated that she was alright.
Du crossed his arms and pouted at Ye Fei.
I really don't know why my master likes this human with such a pitifully low cultivation level. He looks too weak and will only drag my master down.
He dared not disobey his master, but in his heart he would never acknowledge her as the mistress of the demon realm.
Ye Fei was looked down upon by Du, and she knew in her heart that it was because her cultivation level was too low, and it seemed that she was not worthy of Li Yuan's attention.
She wasn't angry; instead, she smiled slightly and said, "Your master doesn't value my cultivation level, but rather me as a person."
"Of course, you think I'm too weak to be worthy of your master. There are plenty of people who look down on me, so it doesn't matter if you're another spirit beast."
Seeing Du's expression stiffen, Ye Fei turned to look at Li Yuan and gripped his hand tightly: "But I will try my best. I said I would stand shoulder to shoulder with you and never become your weakness."
A faint smile flickered in Li Yuan's eyes.
It wasn't some earth-shattering vow, but rather a lukewarm promise.
This is the kind of girl he likes.
Li Yuan pulled Ye Fei into his arms, kissed her forehead, and then turned to stare at Du, his voice as cold as ice: "Du, this is the first time, and I do not wish for a second time."
When Du met the contractor's piercing gaze, his back stiffened, but he reluctantly groaned and said nothing. He immediately transformed back into his small beast form with Ming and slipped back into the mental space.
Ye Fei gently patted his arm: "I'm fine, don't punish your contracted beast."
Hearing the girl say that, Li Yuan concealed the coldness in his eyes and kissed her lips as if no one else was around: "I'll listen to you."
Bai silently finished this bowl of dog food from the side.

Night Mansion.
Ye Ning sat on the dressing table, her eyes fixed on herself in front of the mirror, wearing a white veil.
After returning from Luanyun Gorge last time, her father immediately arranged for the best pharmacist in Lingyun Kingdom to treat the injury on her face, but in the end, the pharmacist gave her the news that it was incurable.
Even the best pharmacist in Lingyun Kingdom... couldn't heal her face...
Since that day, in order to cover up the hideous scar on her face, she has to wear a veil every day. When she brushes past other noble students at Xingluo Royal Academy, she can almost feel their pointing and whispering about her.
She was furious and applied for a month and a half of sick leave from the academy, planning to reappear before the start of the training month.
Ye Ning felt nothing but hatred towards Ye Fei.
The intense resentment and desire to tear her to pieces intensified.
And the summit of Panlong, where the Trial Month was held, was the place where Ye Fei was buried!
Ye Ning bit her nails hard, but even the infamous assassin organization 'Ghost Assassins' couldn't kill Ye Fei. What other way was there to make her die completely?!
A maid's cautious voice came from outside the door: "Fifth Miss... there is a young lady who claims to be surnamed Nan Yan who wants to see you."
Nan Yan Ting Rong?
Ye Ning didn't really want to see her. Last time, Nan Yan and Huang Tianqi simply abandoned her in Luan Yun Jian and ignored her. The resentment she felt towards her hadn't subsided.
But thinking of the request Huang Tianqi had made to her, Ye Ning clenched her fist and called out, "Please invite her to my room and prepare tea!"
A short while later, the maid brought Nan Yan Ting Rong, who was wearing a light red dress, to Ye Ning's room.
