Chapter 732: A Deeper and Deeper Love
Huang Rongyu couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Your Highness the Third Prince
She was... addressing him as "Your Highness the Third Prince"?
He often heard such simple yet respectful words in the palace and in the academy.
He remembered that when they first met, she called him that too—but at the time, it was because they weren't familiar with each other.
But now...
An indescribable pain pierced Huang Rongyu's heart. "Xiao Fei, do you... really want to draw a line between us?"
“You are a member of the royal family, the revered Third Prince, while I am a demon whom everyone deems mortal…” Ye Fei said in a cool voice, “There is an insurmountable chasm between us.”
Huang Rongyu gritted his teeth, and after a long while, he squeezed out a sentence: "Xiao Fei, I don't care about your status..."
Ye Fei gazed at him quietly.
After a long while, she lowered her eyes and curled the corners of her lips: "You should know very well that the only person I have ever loved is Li Yuan."
Huang Rongyu clenched her fingers, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes, and her voice involuntarily rose: "What Li Yuan can do for you, I can do for you too! You love him, is it because he met you before me?!"
Ye Fei gently shook her head: "That's not how it is."
The girl raised her eyes, looked at the gray sky, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Who I like has nothing to do with when he appears."
"Why is that?" Huang Rongyu was still unwilling to give up.
Ye Fei was silent for a moment, then she raised her eyes to meet his gaze, and softly uttered a short but weighty sentence:
Love arises without knowing its origin, and deepens with each passing moment.
It wasn't an overly intense confession.
Such a simple sentence possesses a power that can shake the heavens and the earth.
Huang Rongyu froze on the spot.
It was in that instant that he realized the feelings between her and Li Yuan were something that no one else could force into their lives.
Ye Fei took out an item from his storage ring. Huang Rongyu looked closely and saw that it was the purple butterfly knot that he had given her at the Lantern Festival.
A wisp of light green wood-elemental spiritual energy floated past, entwined with the butterfly knot, and landed steadily in Huang Rongyu's hand.
The girl turned away from him and said, "Rong Yu, stop liking me."
This was the last time she called him by his name.
Her voice was very flat, without any inflection, as if it were about to melt into the cold wind.
"I love Li Yuan more than anything."
When Ye Fei said this, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth into a smile.
A sudden impulse surged within her; she longed to leave Yuan and see him as soon as possible.
...
In the human realm, bordering the eastern continent, lies the Peerless Kingdom and the Holy Religion.
Yu Muhan, dressed in a flawless white robe, sat motionless in his room for a long time.
The fact that Ye Fei possessed a demonic identity had already spread within the Holy Church. At first, she thought she had misheard.
How could Xiao Fei possibly be a demon?
But soon, after repeatedly hearing the words "Spirit Wind Academy" from the Seven Divine Envoys, she finally panicked.
The Holy Church has always been dedicated to eradicating the demon race, so will they also target Xiao Fei?!
Yu Muhan clenched his fingers, his face dark and uncertain.
There was a knock on the door. Yu Muhan stood up to open it, and standing outside was the Great Divine Envoy.
The Great Envoy looked at Yu Muhan and said in a neutral tone, "Come with me. I have some questions for you."
Yu Muhan stared intently at the Great Envoy: "Is it because of Xiao Fei?"
The great envoy turned his head to look at her. The girl clenched her fists and said in a cold tone, "If you came to me because of Xiao Fei, I'm sorry, I have nothing to say."
