Chapter 766: A Trick
Looking in the light, the fine, hair-like Xuanming Prison Silk faintly emitted a faint black light.
That was poison that had already been smeared on it.
After putting away the Xuanming Prison Silk, Ye Fei turned around and quickly followed Li Yuan's steps, her dark eyes flashing with intense killing intent.
Under the cold wind of the night, the four-winged demonic eagle spread its wings and soared into the sky, baring its fangs and claws.
On the four-winged demonic eagle, Ye Fei placed her fingers on Li Yuan's pulse, examining it carefully.
Jiang Bai, standing to the side, asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, how is His Majesty's health?"
Ye Fei released Li Yuan's wrist, staring at him intently: "It's a bit better than before. But you must remember my words, you can't use your spiritual energy, understand?"
Li Yuan nodded and replied, "Understood."
Only after receiving his promise did Ye Fei's expression soften slightly.
She then turned to look at Jiang Bai, who suddenly understood and immediately went to Ye Fei's side: "What are your orders, Empress?"
"When we were fighting the thorns, you did your best to stay by Li Yuan's side," Ye Fei said in a deep voice.
Bai Yi was taken aback. Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Fei'er, even though I am currently suffering from the Flame Poison, I am not so weak that I need my subordinates to protect me."
Ye Fei shook her head: "Think about it carefully. Since the incident at Lingfeng Academy, Jing Ji has not appeared again. Why would he suddenly expose his whereabouts in the Demon Realm tonight?"
Bai was instantly enlightened after being reminded of this.
His hatred for thorns prevented him from thinking clearly.
But it was only after the Emperor and Empress asked such a clear-headed question that he understood the crux of the matter…
Ye Fei pondered for a few seconds, then said, "I suspect there's a trap."
“Jing Ji is cunning and takes every step with extreme caution and prudence. Knowing that she is no match for Li Yuan, she has no reason to casually expose her whereabouts. Wouldn't that be courting death?”
"Therefore, Jiang Bai, you must stay close to Li Yuan. Better safe than sorry."
Jiang Bai nodded solemnly, then, as if remembering something, asked, "And Your Majesty and Empress..."
"Don't worry, I can protect myself." Ye Fei smiled at Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai did not hesitate any longer: "Your subordinate understands and will certainly follow Your Majesty closely."
Li Yuan didn't speak, he just held her hand tighter.
Ye Fei looked up at him, her eyes filled with undisguised concern: "Trust me, I can protect myself, and I can protect you too."
Such a simple sentence contains a promise full of deep affection.
A hint of tenderness appeared in Li Yuan's eyes, and he tightened his grip on her fingers.
On the barren plain, not a blade of grass grows.
A figure in red stood there, his face handsome and wicked, his black hair draped over his shoulders swaying gently in the night breeze, and his crimson eyes held a chilling and sinister air.
His elegant and luxurious attire seemed out of place in this desolate place.
After a while, he noticed something unusual and slowly raised his eyes to look at the sky.
On the massive four-winged demonic eagle, Li Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his cold gaze sweeping across the thorns on the ground.
Thorn's gaze lingered on Li Yuan for a few seconds before falling on the girl standing beside him.
Ye Fei, dressed in black, stared at him with deep hatred in her eyes.
Upon seeing this, Thorn curled his lips and said, "Night Scarlet, the human realm can't tolerate you, so you fled to the demon realm to eke out a living. You're a pitiful little thing, aren't you?"
"Thanks to you." Ye Fei forced out four words of deep hatred from her lips.
Thorn smiled politely: "It's all thanks to me—so I came tonight. You can do whatever you want to me."
