Chapter 541: The Grand Gathering in Cangzhou
With one hand behind his back, Li Yuan's gaze fell on the girl's smiling face, his eyes softening to the extreme. Even with a weapon pressed against his neck, he didn't care.
Ye Fei stepped forward, closing the distance between them: "Why does Your Majesty always go to the girls' dormitories? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by others?"
The boy raised his hand, his slender fingers easily removing the leaf from Ye Fei's neck, and with his other hand he pulled Ye Fei forward around the waist.
Before Ye Fei could react, he pulled her into a tight embrace.
Li Yuan lightly kissed her cheek and replied seriously, "No one will find out."
Ye Fei casually tossed the leaf in her hand and hugged him back: "We're going to the Eight Desolate Divine Realm today, Li, are you nervous?"
Li Yuan asked, puzzled, "Why are you nervous?"
"What I mean is, is it possible that those three reclusive families will discover your identity as a demon?" Ye Fei pinched his cheek, her tone tinged with barely concealed worry.
"It seems that Fei'er isn't very confident in my transformation technique."
Ye Fei saw arrogance in Li Yuan's purple eyes and couldn't help but laugh. Yes, who is Li Yuan? How could his true identity be recognized so easily?
“On the contrary, I’m worried about you.” Li Yuan stroked her hair, his eyes narrowing. “Although I have never entered the Eight Desolate Divine Realm, the space condensed by the remnant soul of the Mirror Palace is probably not that simple.”
"It's too late to worry now. I've already made up my mind to venture into the Eight Desolate Divine Realm." Ye Fei's smile faded, and her gaze turned serious. "I've said it before, I will become stronger, so that I'll be worthy to stand by your side."
Li Yuan gazed at the girl's face, then lifted her chin and kissed her deeply on the lips—a kiss that was both gentle and tender.
“If we accidentally separate after entering the Eight Desolate Divine Realm, I can still sense your location through the Burning Heaven Fire Glass Ring.”
Li Yuan pulled away from her lips, touched her forehead, and whispered, "If you want to go and explore, I will never stop you. But I just hope you won't get seriously injured again. That time at the summit of Panlong made me very worried, and I don't want to go through that again."
Ye Fei hugged him tightly and nodded heavily: "Okay, I promise you, I won't get seriously injured again, and I won't make you worry again."
Only after receiving her promise did Li Yuan reluctantly let go of her.

Ye Fei and her teammates stood at the academy gate, holding the crystal token they had obtained at the Spirit Master Exchange Meeting.
A faint crimson glow emanated from the crystal tablet, and not long after, a phoenix's cry could be faintly heard from the sky.
Everyone turned their gazes toward the sky, where a pure white phoenix flew toward them. On the phoenix stood a woman in a light blue battle robe, around thirty years old, with her hair tied in a ponytail, a dignified expression, and a heroic bearing.
The phoenix landed in front of the academy gate, and the woman leaped down, bowing to the dean: "I am Nangong Qing, the deputy leader of the guard team for this Cangzhou Grand Gathering. I have come here to lead the Night Scarlet Squad of Lingfeng Academy, a total of seven people, to the Cangzhou Grand Gathering."
The dean politely returned the greeting: "I am Wen Zhou, the dean of Lingfeng Academy, and these children are members of the Night Scarlet Squad."
Following the dean's gaze, Nangong Qing saw a group of teenagers led by Ye Fei.
It's surprising that the leader is such a young girl. This year's Cangzhou event should be much more interesting than previous ones...
The thought flashed through Nangong Qing's mind, and she said nothing more: "Please."
