Chapter 704: May I call you that?
Chi Ye remained silent. Qing Zhu and Ling looked at Ye Fei before they realized, "Where is the Demon Lord?"
"Back to the Demon Realm," Ye Fei said calmly.
Chi Ye frowned upon hearing this: "Back to the Demon Realm? What happened?"
Ye Fei uncorked the wine jug, tilted her head back and took a sip of the sake, and replied, "Jing Ji's news appeared in the Demon Realm, so I rushed back there."
Just as Chi Ye was about to continue speaking, suddenly, with a loud bang, dazzling fireworks exploded once again in the night sky.
Ling exclaimed in surprise, her pretty face beaming with excitement: "Fireworks! Your Highness, look! Fireworks!"
"Yes, I saw it." Chi Ye responded casually, then turned to Ye Fei, "Is there some kind of holiday today? Why are they setting off fireworks?"
Ye Fei: "It seems to be some kind of lantern festival."
"Oh! The Lantern Festival! I know that!" Ling said, as if she had been given a free rein to talk. "In the legends of the human world, the Lantern Festival is to welcome the arrival of the Flower Goddess. The Flower Goddess is in charge of all flowers and human marriages. Therefore, on the day of the Lantern Festival, young men and women of the human race will release lanterns and express their feelings to each other."
Ye Fei rested her hands on her lap, propped her chin up, and looked at Ling with amusement: "Ling, you seem to know quite a bit about the strange and wonderful stories of the human race."
“Because I usually love reading books about strange tales and anecdotes,” Ling replied with a smile. “Of course, I know the most about strange tales and anecdotes about the demon race. If you want to hear them, Xiao Fei, I can tell you about them one by one.”
Chi Ye looked at Ye Fei's profile, then glanced at the fireworks bursting in the sky, a slight smile playing on his lips. He raised his hand and patted her back: "Don't worry, I'm here."
Since Li Yuan isn't by her side, she'll keep her company tonight.
Ye Fei smiled upon hearing this, poured some sake into a small wine cup, and presented it to Chi Ye: "Alright, drink!"
Chi Ye took the wine glass and sipped it. The sound of fireworks exploded in the sky. Looking at the extremely beautiful scene of golden chrysanthemums blooming, she suddenly said, "Fei, may I call you that?"
"Of course!" Ye Fei didn't mind at all; it was just a form of address. Besides, as long as Chi Ye liked it, that was fine.
Chi Ye stared into her clear, bright eyes, a smile playing on his lips.
She had never thought of protecting the human race so thoroughly before.
In her eyes, humans are greedy and cunning, willing to do anything to get what they want, and capable of any heinous act...
But only this girl in front of me is like a flower that is stubbornly blooming in the rotting soil.
Chi Ye silently drank his wine, listening to Ling recount the interesting things she had encountered as if telling a story. Then he raised his golden demonic eyes and gazed at the fireworks in the night sky.
Ye Fei listened attentively to Ling's story while munching on grilled meat, and her mood suddenly improved.
Amidst the fireworks display, the atmosphere was harmonious, filled with laughter and joy.
I want to etch this splendid moment into my heart forever...

Ye Fei and Chi Ye spent the night on the roof.
It wasn't until sunrise that Chi Ye got up to prepare to return to the demon realm.
Before leaving, Chi Ye raised his hand and patted the girl's head: "Don't worry about Li Yuan, he is very strong, and Jing Ji is probably no match for him."
Ye Fei nodded and smiled at her: "Yes, I'm not worried. I had a great time last night, thank you, Chi Ye."
"There's no need for thanks between us." Chi Ye's gaze was gentle. "Focus on your cultivation, understand?"
We will meet again someday.
