Chapter 416: Background
Ye Fei gently brushed against his thin lips, her eyes narrowing: "If it's not a green leaf, then what is it?"
“It’s like a gentle breeze that touches my heartstrings,” Li Yuan replied earnestly.
The wind is free and unrestrained, you can't catch it or touch it, it's an invisible thing, but as long as you want it, it will always follow you and accompany you.
Ye Fei's pupils narrowed slightly, then she smiled and bit his lip: "Wow, you actually know how to flirt."
Li Yuan asked, puzzled, "What does 'flirting' mean?"
"That means you've finally figured it out!" Ye Fei laughed heartily.
Li Yuan looked at her smiling face, a slight smile playing on his lips. He loved seeing her smile.
His Fei'er should always wear this smile.
"Your Majesty, Empress." Jiang Bai's voice came from outside the hall.
Li Yuan extended his hand to Ye Fei: "Let's go."
Ye Fei placed her hand in his palm, and the two walked out of the main hall hand in hand.
"Let's go to the demon realm."
Li Yuan flicked his sleeves and walked with Ye Fei toward the four-winged demonic vulture that was perched on the open ground of the Demon Palace.
Jiang Bai and Li Yu secretly wiped away tears as they watched their Venerable One and the future Empress holding hands: This was a heartwarming scene they had never seen before in the cold and icy Demon Palace!
Li Yuan glanced at the two attendants who were still standing there dumbfounded: "Come up."
Bai and Li Yu immediately reacted and quickly leaped onto the back of the four-winged demonic eagle.
...
It takes two hours to travel from the Demon Realm to the Monster Realm.
Since the journey was long, Ye Fei simply closed her eyes and began meditating and cultivating.
Li Yu, whose injuries had fully healed, sat cross-legged behind Li Yuan. He looked at Ye Fei's profile, pondered for a moment, and decided to speak to his lord: "Your Majesty, the demonic energy in the Demon Realm is dense, but this demonic energy has not eroded the Empress's body. Do you think... there is something unusual about the Empress's body?"
Li Yuan's eyes darkened.
He had already noticed what Li Yu was talking about.
Moreover, Fei'er can tame parasitic magical plants that inherently carry demonic energy, something that cannot be done by a human.
Li Yuan was silent for a while, then said calmly, "There are two possibilities. First, she possesses some kind of secret treasure that can remove demonic energy. Second, she is not human."
Jiang Bai was slightly surprised: "Not human? Could it be that our Empress is also... a demon?"
As far as they knew, the emperor and empress's biological father, Ye Jingyao, was indeed human, while their biological mother, according to the Wanling Flower Fairy, was an alchemist who enjoyed traveling to various countries.
The only possibility is that the Empress's mother was a demon, so the Empress possessed both human and demon blood. Because of her demon blood, she was not affected by demonic energy.
But... given the conflict between humans and demons, is it possible for the two races to form a bond and have children?
Jiang Bai felt there was something strangely eerie about this idea, so he said, "Your Excellency, I think the first scenario is more likely."
Li Yuan remained silent, simply gazing at the girl's calm face.
His Fei'er still carries many secrets, and before these secrets are revealed to the world, anything is possible.

During the two hours she spent aboard the four-winged demonic vulture, Ye Fei not only completed her cultivation but also successfully refined a fourth-grade pill within her spiritual space.
Looking at the lustrous white and smooth pill in her hand, Ye Fei stroked her chin—this was the first time she had refined a fourth-grade pill, indicating that her alchemy skills had improved by another level.
After she gets back, she will go to the Pill Association to replace the 'Level 2 Alchemist' on her warrant with 'Level 3 Alchemist'.
