Chapter 388: Soft-hearted
The old spirit snorted, then flew to Ye Fei and Li Yuan and looked them up and down: "By the way, how did you two little kids get in here?"
Li Yuan remained silent with a cold expression. Ye Fei stepped out from behind Li Yuan, bowed to the old man, and said, "May I ask who you are, senior?"
"Hmph, you little girl are much more polite than that boy behind you!"
The old man stroked his white beard, his leisurely demeanor infuriating Li Yuan so much that his fists clenched so tightly they cracked: "Kid? I am as old as heaven and earth. When I established the Demon Realm, you were probably still somewhere waiting to be reincarnated..."
Ye Fei immediately covered Li Yuan's mouth and glared at him secretly: Shut up, don't say a word!
Then he immediately turned to a smiling face and said, "My partner is young and impetuous and speaks rudely. Please forgive him, senior."
The old man didn't dwell on what Li Yuan had just said, and slowly replied, "I am the guardian spirit of this space!"
Guardian spirit?
Ye Fei glanced again at the wisp of mist beneath the old man; no wonder he appeared to be in a soul state…
She added, "We accidentally fell from here. Does anyone know if there's any way to get out of here?"
The old man looked up at the dim sky and muttered to himself, "Did it fall from above? Looks like this space is about to disappear too..."
Ye Fei, with her sharp ears, overheard the old man's whispered murmur and couldn't help but ask, "Why do you say that, senior? Isn't this space meant to imprison criminals?"
"Oh? You little brat, you're quite knowledgeable. You even know that this space is used to imprison criminals." The old man was somewhat surprised. "As you can see, there are no living beings in this space, let alone criminals. A space devoid of life naturally has no reason to continue existing."
"In your human language, that would be considered dying of old age."
"So, how do we leave here?"
The old man squinted his eyes like a fox and sneakily approached Ye Fei: "Although there are no living beings in this space, you two are living beings! The outside world isn't necessarily that great either, so why don't you two... stay and keep this old man company!"
Ye Fei: "..."
Unable to bear it any longer, Li Yuan stepped forward, his five fingers grasping out, and dark spiritual energy burst forth from his palm!
He placed his spiritual energy in front of the old man, his dark eyes instantly turning deep purple, his deep, cold voice filled with threat: "Tell me how to leave, or I won't hesitate to annihilate your spirit!"
The old man saw the boy's purple eyes and seemed to realize something, his body trembling: "Purple eyes?! You...you're a demon..."
Li Yuan's expression turned hostile; his purple eyes narrowed dangerously, and a strong killing intent emanated from his entire body.
Ye Fei was afraid that Li Yuan would really kill the old man's soul, since the old man was the only guardian spirit here who knew the way out, so she immediately grabbed his sleeve: "Don't be angry, I'll talk to him."
"My patience is limited." Li Yuan stared at Ye Fei, his eyes flashing with a chilling sharpness.
Ye Fei grabbed his arm and shook it a few times, pouting, "You're the Demon Lord, second only to the Emperor! It's bad for your image to get angry with a spirit! Be good, let me talk to you, okay?"
Li Yuan: "..."
His Fei'er, who was usually very arrogant, looked at him with pleading eyes at this moment...
Li Yuan finally gave up on the idea of extinguishing the old man. He glanced at the smiling Ye Fei, a hint of emotion flashing in his purple eyes.
The cold-blooded and ruthless Demon Lord finally softened for his lover.
