Chapter 425: Family 2
The journey from the demon realm back to the monster realm is long.
Feeling a bit tired, Ye Fei leaned against Li Yuan's shoulder and fell asleep.
Li Yuan carefully placed Ye Fei's head on his lap to make her more comfortable, and then took off his coat and covered her with it.
Looking at their Venerable One's tender, almost ethereal eyes, Bai and Li Yu swallowed this bowl of divinely made dog food with tears in their eyes.
With half an hour to go before returning to the Demon Palace, Li Yuan looked down at the dragon-like river below. Thinking of something, he said to Jiang Bai and Li Yu, "You two go back to the palace first."
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do with the Empress?" Jiang Bai asked in surprise. He glanced at the sky; it was already late at night...
Li Yuan didn't explain. He hugged Ye Fei and then jumped off the back of the four-winged demonic eagle!
Bai and Li Yu's expressions changed: "Your Excellency?!"
However, they could only watch helplessly as the emperor, carrying the girl, disappeared into the night.

Ye Fei vaguely smelled a familiar, strange, and cold fragrance in the air. She slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying on the grass. Because she was lying down, she could see the vast starry sky as soon as she opened her eyes.
"woke up?"
A deep, pleasant male voice came from beside her. Ye Fei sat up and looked over. Li Yuan was sitting next to her, his gaze calmly meeting hers.
Ye Fei rubbed her eyes: "Strange, weren't we in the sky? How did we get down here..."
Li Yuan raised his finger and pointed ahead: "Look."
Ye Fei followed his finger and saw a cluster of flowers emitting a faint glow on the riverbank. She walked to the riverbank wearing Li Yuan's outer garment. The night breeze blew by, like a pair of gentle hands caressing each flower, causing their branches to tremble and the glow to become even more pronounced.
She leaned closer to smell it, and her eyes lit up.
It smells the same as the scent on Li Yuan's clothes!
"Is this the Dark Flame Bud you told me about before?" Ye Fei recalled that it was a flower that only grew in the Demon Realm.
He said he would bring her to the Demon Realm to enjoy it someday, but he never expected that day to come so soon.
Li Yuan nodded: "That's right."
Ye Fei plucked a Dark Flame Bud and examined it closely. From the stem to the stamen, it was almost entirely red, and the flame light emanated from the stamen. Under the night sky, it looked like twinkling starlight, which was very beautiful.
Ye Fei turned around and walked up to Li Yuan, tucking the Dark Flame Pistil in her hand into his hair, and said with a carefree smile, "Oh, where did this pretty girl come from? She's so beautiful, I like her so much!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan's ears turned red, and he raised his hand to remove the Dark Flame Stamen from his hair: "...Nonsense!"
This girl actually dared to flirt with him... she really needs to be taught a lesson.
"Hehe, let me give you a kiss, don't be shy!" Ye Fei held his chin with her hand to prevent him from turning his face.
Looking at his shy little face, Ye Fei's smile grew even more unrestrained: "Tsk, he looks so easy to bully..."
She kissed him, playfully licking his lips with the tip of her tongue.
Feeling Li Yuan's body stiffen slightly, Ye Fei was overjoyed. It felt really good to tease the innocent little guy occasionally!
After Ye Fei finished her antics, she hugged Li Yuan tightly and said, "Thank you for bringing me here. I really like it!"
Li Yuan put his arm around her waist and smiled slightly: "I'm glad you like it."
Ye Fei sat in his lap, playing with his hair. Gazing at the flames on the shore, she suddenly asked, "Li Yuan, do you have family?"
“No,” Li Yuan replied. “I was born from pure evil power. I have no parents or relatives. All I have are Jiang Bai and Li Yu, who have followed me for many years.”
After a long pause, he heard the girl whisper, "Then I'll be your family from now on, okay?"
