Chapter 803: Princess Scarlet
It took Ye Fei two days to fully accept the fact that Chi Ye was dead.
For the past two days, apart from eating and drinking, he has stayed in the palace, holding the dragon bones and scales in his hands, stroking them and talking to himself.
Afterwards, Hua Hua, Bi Yun, and Qing Li formed a contract with her again.
During the three days that Ye Fei was unconscious, Hua Hua didn't dare to come to her palace to see her.
After the battle with the Holy Church, the three spirit beasts almost wiped out the hundred saints who had been ordered to come, dealing a heavy blow to the Holy Church.
After the battle, when they went to look for Ye Fei, they found that she was missing. Later, following the smell of blood in the air, they followed her all the way to the Youlong Palace in the Demon Realm and learned that Ye Fei had died.
However, Chi Ye chose to sacrifice his most precious Holy Dragon power, exchanging one life for another, to bring Ye Fei back to life and allow her to inherit everything she now possessed.
When Hua Hua saw Ye Fei lying on the bed and looking at her, she finally couldn't help but cry.
This was the first time Ye Fei had ever seen Hua Hua shed tears.
"Don't cry, I'm still here, aren't I?" Ye Fei touched Hua Hua's face.
Hua Hua's face was covered in tears. Thinking of how cruelly Ye Fei had been hurt by the Great God, her emerald green eyes were filled with pain: "I failed to protect you... I'm sorry..."
“I promised Jiang Xun I would protect you with my life, but I failed. I even made you suffer inhuman pain…”
Ye Fei took a deep breath, her voice cold and indifferent: "What's done is done, but we can't just let it go. The deep-seated grudge between me and the Holy Church will one day be completely settled."
Hua Hua wiped away her tears forcefully, gripped Ye Fei's hand tightly, and said resolutely, "This time, Master cannot break our contract so easily. No matter what, we will stay by your side and become your weapon."
"You are not my weapons," Ye Fei said calmly. "You are my most important friends."
She wouldn't treat her contracted beast as something that could be summoned and dismissed at will.
Hua Hua was only stunned for a moment, but then she understood and a smile slowly appeared on her face.

Bai Shuang's severe injuries have finally begun to heal.
Upon waking up and learning that Chi Ye's body had been completely destroyed, he knelt before the dragon bones and scales for a day and a night without regard for anything else.
Ye Fei did not stop Bai Shuang. These four followers had been with Chi Ye for many years and were treated like family. Their loyalty and respect were unparalleled.
Bai Shuang's eyes were bloodshot. He stared directly at Ye Fei and said, word by word, "Now that you have become the new ruler of the demon realm, we respect the decision of the former Holy Emperor and will certainly follow you and never abandon you."
Ye Fei nodded. Although that was true, she knew very well that it would take a long time to build a good relationship with these four attendants, and it certainly couldn't be accomplished in just three days and two nights.
Despite her inner pain, Bai Shuang lowered her head to Ye Fei and said, "My name is Bai Shuang, and I swear to serve His Highness the Holy Emperor to the death!"
Seeing this, Qingzhu, Azi, and Ling also knelt down on one knee before Ye Fei and bowed respectfully: "We swear to serve His Highness the Holy Emperor to the death!"
Ye Fei's eyes were calm as water. The next second, she slowly opened her lips: "Holy Emperor, that is Chi Ye's unique title. You cannot call me Holy Emperor."
The four attendants looked up and exchanged bewildered glances.
One cannot address the Emperor as His Highness, nor can one call him by his given name directly, for that would be disrespectful to the monarch.
After a long silence in the palace, Hua Hua finally said, "If you're having trouble, just call the master 'Princess Fei' directly."
