Chapter 82: The Magical Plant
The orchid slowly moved its stem, its petals emitting faint light. Several thorny branches emerged like brambles and gently clung to the back of the girl's hand.
Li Yuan stared coldly at Qiu Gu Lan, trying to calm the murderous intent surging within him.
So it seems she really did encounter that traitor Thorn, and was even parasitized by the demonic plant...
This demonic plant was extremely annoying; if he weren't afraid of hurting Ye Fei, he would have liked to uproot it completely.
As the temperature of the flames continued to rise, the temperature inside the cave became warmer, and Ye Fei's tightly furrowed brows relaxed at that moment.
Li Yuan took out a pill from the black ring on his index finger and put it into Ye Fei's mouth. The pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth and transformed into a faint golden light around Ye Fei.

Ye Fei slowly awoke, and before her lay a cave illuminated by the firelight.
Apart from the crackling sound of burning firewood, all around was silent.
"woke up?"
A deep, pleasant voice sounded from beside her. Ye Fei turned her head to look and saw the young man sitting quietly cross-legged. He had taken off his cloak and put it aside. His black hair was loose and untied over his shoulders, and his handsome face still had that indifferent expression.
"……Leave?"
She didn't even realize how hoarse her voice was until she spoke. Ye Fei coughed, and the strong medicinal smell in her mouth made her pause. Was it the pill that Li had given her?
Li Yuan helped her up, picked up a leaf shaped like a disc with some clean water on it from the side, and said, "Drink."
Ye Fei barely managed to prop herself up, took the leaf, and drank the water in one gulp.
"Are you feeling better?" Li Yuan asked her.
"Hmm, much better." After drinking water, Ye Fei finally found her voice. She looked up at the boy's almost perfect profile, somewhat stunned.
Before she completely lost consciousness, her last impression was of the man named Thorn—
Oh, and her hands!
Ye Fei suddenly raised her left wrist. The wound on her wrist was almost healed, but there were protruding things on the back of her hand like blood vessels. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be several blue branches.
She rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. Damn it, that man had tricked her!
"Did you remember anything?" Li Yuan frowned when he saw that her face looked very pale.
Ye Fei hesitated for a moment, then sighed and asked, "Li, you must be very knowledgeable, right?"
Li Yuan: "...Um, what do you want to ask?"
"Do you know a man named Thorn? He has phoenix eyes, crimson pupils, a strange forehead wrinkle between his eyebrows, and looks like a fairy. He wears a red robe... I don't think he's human. He must be from another race."
Upon hearing the word "thorns," a hint of disgust flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.
After a long pause, he said in a cool voice, "I know him."
Can you tell me about him?
“He comes from the Demon Realm and is of demonic origin,” Li Yuan replied. “Jing Ji is a wood-type spirit master who is skilled at manipulating thorns as weapons. At the same time, he is also skilled at cultivating demonic plants.”
Ye Fei fell silent.
From the demon realm, born into the demon race...
According to the original owner's memories, humans have an extremely bad impression of demons, mainly because demons are inherently cold-blooded and cruel, and have done many evil things to harm other races.
I never expected that Thorn was actually a demon.
After a while, Ye Fei asked again, "What is a demonic plant?"
“Plants imbued with demonic energy are collectively called demonic plants,” Li Yuan explained in a cold tone. “Demonic plants are more aggressive than ordinary plants, but they cannot grow in the wild. Apart from parasitism, they have no other way to survive.”
“As far as I know, only Thorn can cultivate magical plants.” Li Yuan’s expression darkened when he mentioned this name.
