Chapter 419: Joining Forces
Ye Fei looked at the beautiful girl in colorful clothes in front of her and smiled slightly: "My name is Ye Fei."
Ling blinked and looked Ye Fei up and down, then suddenly raised her hand and pinched her face: "You're very beautiful, I like you very much!"
Ye Fei: "...?"
Before Ye Fei could react, Ling grabbed her hand: "Come on! I'll take you to plunder Qingzhu's herb garden!"
Ye Fei looked puzzled: "A herb garden?"
Ling turned to her and winked playfully, "Aren't you a wood-type spirit master? You must be interested in many immortal herbs and spirit flowers, right?"
Ye Fei felt somewhat helpless. She said that, but wasn't it inappropriate for her to leave so abruptly? Besides, this was Qingzhu's herb garden…
Looking at Qingzhu, he didn't show the slightest dissatisfaction; on the contrary, he seemed quite happy: "Miss Ye, please choose whatever you like."
Chi Ye stared at Ye Fei and said in a calm voice, "You may go. I also have something to discuss with the Demon Lord."
Ye Fei glanced at Li Yuan, who nodded slightly to her. Seeing this, Ye Fei felt at ease letting Ling pull her out of the Youlong Palace.
Watching the girl's departing figure, Chi Ye picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and then asked, "Li Yuan, do you love her?"
Li Yuan glanced at Chi Ye and answered without hesitation, "Love."
"That's good." Hearing his quick reply, Chi Ye's fair face showed a rare tenderness: "Although I don't quite understand the feelings between you, I want to protect her silently."
"No need." Li Yuan refused ruthlessly: "She is my fiancée, and I can protect her."
"Heh." Chi Ye chuckled softly, glancing at the man with a nonchalant look: "Protect her? You know very well that she was parasitized by the parasitic plant, right? In that case, it seems you haven't really protected her well."
Li Yuan pursed his lips and remained silent. Indeed, it was because he had failed to stop Jing Ji in time from causing Fei'er to be parasitized by the Imprisoned Bone Orchid.
Seeing his silence, Chi Ye stopped mocking him and said, "Parasitic demonic plants, only the demon you ordered to be hunted down would cultivate them. His name is—Thorn, right?"
Li Yuan looked at Chi Ye: "What do you want to say?"
"Humans are physically fragile, and being forcibly placed with parasitic plants is an extremely painful experience. Regardless of whether the parasitic plants have any effect on her, the fact remains that the thorns have harmed her."
Chi Ye narrowed his bright golden eyes slightly, a hint of killing intent rising from his body: "Since I am going to protect her, I will never let anyone who has hurt her go."
"Li Yuan, do you understand what I mean?"
Li Yuan raised an eyebrow: "You want to join forces with me?"
He no longer referred to himself as "the One," but simply as "I."
Chi Ye's lips curled into a cold smile: "She is your lover and also my protector. The fact that you spent a hundred years trying to eradicate Thorn is enough to prove that Thorn is meticulous and resourceful."
"If you can't handle Thorns, then add me to the mix—we're on the same page, so why not?"
...
Ling pulled Ye Fei into a medicinal garden shrouded in thick fog.
"This fog contains a potent poison; it's to prevent intruders from venturing into the herb garden," Ling explained, flicking her sleeve to quickly dispel the dense fog.
Ye Fei inhaled the scent of the herb garden, where there was a very rich wood-elemental spiritual energy. When she inhaled it, she felt warm and comfortable.
Seeing Ye Fei's reaction, Ling asked her with a smile, "Do you like it here?"
