Chapter 355: Worthy of Being Your Friend
Ye Fei and her group left the cave very quickly.
Not long after Ye Fei left, a bewitching red figure appeared in front of the cave entrance.
Jingji stood in the open space in front of the cave, his handsome face filled with an uncertain expression, and a chilling killing intent flashed in his crimson phoenix eyes.
He had taken a long and winding journey, finally arriving by following the scent of blood.
Although it was very faint, he could still smell the faint scent of the Prisoner Orchid on the poor little thing.
This means she is not dead; she is still alive.
It's a good thing that she's alive.
But the thought that someone else besides him had rescued the poor little thing made him very unhappy.
Thorn sniffed the air around him. It wasn't the demonic energy unique to Li Yuan, but a completely unfamiliar scent.
Thorn narrowed his eyes, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and darted forward.
He wanted to see who had rescued the poor little thing.

The next day.
After searching for several days, Chi Ye finally found the sacred dragon fruit she wanted.
Carefully picking a golden, tender spirit fruit hanging on a branch, Chi Ye held the sacred dragon fruit in one hand, tilted her head back, and squeezed out the juice, which flowed down her throat.
After absorbing the essence, Chi Ye was enveloped in a faint crimson glow. She tossed the shriveled fruit aside and turned to Ye Fei: "Next, I need to recuperate and heal my injuries. It will take at least three days and at most half a month."
Ye Fei understood that when Chi Ye found the Sacred Dragon Fruit, it meant they would have to part ways.
Perhaps Chi Ye would be willing to accompany her to find the remaining medicinal herbs, but the Trial Month would not wait for her.
"Okay, I understand. Let's part ways here then," Ye Fei said.
Chi Ye stared at her intently for a long while. Then, she patted her shoulder, her voice softening in a way she herself didn't realize: "You'll have to walk the rest of the road by yourself."
Ye Fei smiled, a hint of arrogance flashing in her dark eyes: "You are strong, but I will not become a weakling under your protection."
"Hmm." Chi Ye admired her for having such a mindset at such a young age. "Be careful. If you encounter any unavoidable danger, be sure to blow the bone flute I gave you."
After saying this, she turned and left with a flick of her sleeve.
Seeing that His Highness the Holy Emperor had walked away, Qingzhu called Ye Fei aside and said to her earnestly, "Miss Ye, although His Highness the Holy Emperor may seem cold and ruthless at times, she is actually very loyal and affectionate. You have helped Her Highness, and regardless of your status, you will be a distinguished guest of our demon realm in the future."
Ye Fei smiled and said, "Rather than making enemies for myself, I would prefer that Chi Ye become a good friend of mine. If a friend is in trouble, I will definitely help without hesitation."
Qingzhu's eyes flashed, and then she smiled slowly: "Your Highness, she is worthy of being your friend."
Ye Fei gestured with her chin forward: "Go and protect Chi Ye, don't keep her waiting."
"Miss, we must take our leave now. We hope to meet again someday."
Qingzhu quickly turned and left. Ye Fei watched Qingzhu's figure gradually disappear into the distance, and without lingering, she immediately followed Huang Rongyu and Mu Jingshen.
...
At noon, the three rested briefly on the spot before continuing their journey.
This time, Ye Fei didn't come away empty-handed—Qing Li was chirping incessantly in the mental space, so Ye Fei simply let Qing Li out to get some fresh air.
Standing atop Ye Fei's head, Qing Li fluttered her tiny wings merrily: "Master! There's something good ahead!"
