Chapter 400: First Entry into the Demon Realm
After Li Yu stepped out of the vortex, he knelt down on one knee before Ye Fei without saying a word.
"Huh? What happened to you...?"
His actions startled Ye Fei, and just as she was about to help him up, Li Yu's anxious voice came: "Empress! His Majesty is seriously injured!"
Ye Fei froze, her mind going blank.
It took her a while to react, and she immediately rushed to Li Yu's side: "What did you say? Li Yuan is seriously injured?!"
Li Yu gritted his teeth: "Three days ago, Your Excellency engaged in a fierce battle with Thorns. Your Excellency's cultivation was superior to Thorns', and you could have taken this opportunity to wipe Thorns out in one fell swoop. However, you did not expect that Thorns would cast witchcraft on Your Excellency's body, causing Your Excellency's spiritual energy to dissipate by more than half, and you even fell into a coma as a result!"
Every word felt like a sharp blade piercing Ye Fei's heart. Ye Fei's fingertips trembled slightly. Three days ago... wasn't that the day she felt the Burning Heaven Fire Ring getting hot?!
The Heavenly Fire Ring is Li Yuan's symbol of identity.
Before she could ask too many questions, Ye Fei gripped Li Yu's arm tightly, her face full of anxiety: "Is Li Yuan in the Demon Realm? Take me to see him!"
Li Yu hesitated for a moment: "The demonic energy in the Demon Realm is dense. Your Majesty, you are of human form and may not be able to withstand too much demonic energy..."
A sharp glint flashed in Ye Fei's eyes, her voice as cold as ice: "Stop talking nonsense!"
For a moment, Li Yu was startled by the aura emanating from the girl in front of him. Without saying anything more, he raised one hand and tore through space once more: "Empress, please come with me."
Ye Fei suddenly remembered something: "Wait!"
Li Yu turned around and saw Ye Fei quickly walk back to the room, pick up a pen, dip it in ink, and quickly write a few lines on the paper. Then she used a book on the table to weigh down the paper.
After she finished, she left the room and followed Li Yu's footsteps—

Ye Fei never expected that her first trip to the Demon Realm was because of Li Yuan's injury.
She had imagined that the Demon Realm might be a place where it was always dark and gloomy, but coming here completely overturned her imagination.
The night was dark and the stars twinkled.
Beneath the vast Milky Way lie endless towering mountains, and the rivers that flow through them are tinged with a faint glow of flame.
Below, town buildings stand tall, brightly lit, and the vibrant atmosphere of daily life rises straight into the sky.
Ye Fei and Li Yu emerged from the spatial vortex, and Li Yu used some magic to allow her to float lightly in the void.
Is this... the Demon Realm?
Ye Fei suppressed her surprise.
This place seems no different from the human world.
"Your Majesty, the palace ahead is the Demon Palace."
Li Yu's voice pulled Ye Fei back from her observation. A huge palace came into view, its black and gold tones exuding a vast and powerful aura.
A crescent moon streaked across the exquisite and magnificent palace, casting a hazy, almost unreal light over the entire complex. The flamboyant architectural style created a breathtaking visual effect.
A night breeze stirred, rippling the surface of the vast pool. Lights flickered in the direction of the main hall, and Ye Fei knew that must be where Li Yuan was resting.
After landing steadily, Li Yu headed towards the main hall. Ye Fei, not having time to admire the magnificent palace, quickly followed.
Four guardian demons stood at the main gate of the hall. Upon seeing Li Yu arrive, they all knelt on one knee and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Protector Li Yu!"
"Has any other demon ever stepped into the main hall?" Li Yu asked coldly.
"Reporting to Protector Li Yu, during the time you were away, Protector Bai was allowed to enter the hall!"
Standing behind Li Yu, Ye Fei raised an eyebrow: "Has Bai's injury been healed?"
