Chapter 418: The Soul Returns Home
Upon entering the main hall of Youlong, Li Yuan slowly took his seat as a guest, while his attendants Jiang Bai and Li Yu stood behind him.
He saw Ye Fei standing obediently next to his seat and said, "Come here and sit next to me."
Ye Fei pointed at herself: "Huh? Me?"
Although Bai and Li Yu both call her Empress, she has not yet married Li Yuan and cannot be considered a true Empress of the Demon Realm. Given her current status, it seems rather improper for her to be on equal footing with him.
Li Yuan stared at her silently, a faint hint of displeasure rising in his deep purple eyes. Ye Fei was both amused and exasperated; this guy really was...
She didn't act coy and obediently sat down next to him.
Seeing how obedient the girl was, Li Yuan was satisfied, and his dissatisfaction vanished instantly.
Sitting in the main seat, Chi Ye silently watched their interaction. After becoming acquainted with her, the usually cold and ruthless Demon Lord Li Yuan seemed to have changed.
Love can truly change one's state of mind completely.
Bai took out a gilded and vermilion gift box from his storage ring, cupped his hands and handed it to Chi Ye: "Your Highness, this is a gift carefully prepared by our Venerable One. Please accept it."
Chi Ye took the gift box: "Demon Lord, may I open it directly?"
Li Yuan took a sip of tea and looked at Chi Ye: "Do as you please."
The gift box was opened, and a strong steam of moisture rushed out.
The silver-haired man standing behind Chi Ye exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the contents of the box, "This, this is..."
Quietly placed in the gift box was a fist-sized, azure bead with a water ripple pattern on its surface, and a silver scale that shimmered with iridescent light.
The woman in purple also covered her mouth in astonishment: "The dragon pearl and dragon scales of the Water Cloud Azure Dragon!"
Chi Ye stared at the contents of the box, momentarily stunned. After a while, she sighed softly, her eyes filled with pity: "Shuiyun Bilong... it's a name that evokes a sense of nostalgia in me."
Li Yuan handed Ye Fei a cup of perfectly warm tea, his tone cool: "Half a year ago, my subordinates discovered a skeleton in the Demon Realm Sea. The skeleton was almost completely decayed, but only this dragon pearl and a dragon scale remained."
"I thought this item might be related to your race, Holy Emperor, so I retrieved the Dragon Pearl and Dragon Scale. Today, I can say that this item has returned to its homeland and can rest in peace forever."
Chi Ye carefully closed the gift box, a hint of relief appearing on his face: "The Water Cloud Azure Dragon does indeed have a connection with my Blazing Sacred Dragon clan. In any case, I am very grateful that you brought this item to the Demon Realm."
Li Yuan turned to look at the girl beside him and said, "Your Majesty, there's no need to be so polite. I also thank you for saving my fiancée at the summit of Panlong."
Ye Fei smiled slightly at Li Yuan. At this moment, she felt several curious gazes appear on her at the same time. She looked in the direction of those gazes and saw the attendants standing behind Chi Ye's throne.
Chi Ye noticed Ye Fei's gaze, paused, and said, "These people behind me are my attendants."
Before she could finish speaking, Qingzhu quickly interjected, "Your Majesty, let me introduce you to Miss Ye."
"This silver-haired creature is the transformed form of the sacred beast Lingyin, named Baishuang."
"The one in purple is the transformed form of the sacred beast, the Evil-Eyed Purple Scale, named A Zi."
"The one in colorful clothes is..."
Before Qingzhu could finish speaking, the girl in colorful clothes slowly walked up to Ye Fei and said with a smile, "My name is Ling, and I am the incarnation of the sacred beast, the Five-Colored Phoenix! Little human girl, may I know your name?"
