Chapter 85: The Demon Lord Leaves the Abyss
Ye Fei's eyes widened, her expression turning embarrassed: "I can walk, you...you should put me down..."
"You're walking too slowly," Li Yuan said coldly, tightening his grip on her. "I didn't mean anything by it. Close your eyes and rest."
Ye Fei: "..."
She shrank back and didn't argue anymore, carefully pressing her head against his chest.
The sound of her heartbeat came through her robes, and Ye Fei felt her cheeks burning uncontrollably.
Perhaps out of embarrassment, she couldn't help but close her eyes.
This was the first time she had been so close to a man, and the feeling was...
She closed her eyes and listened quietly to the boy's heartbeat so close to her ear, and a sense of peace inexplicably arose within her, and she fell asleep just like that.
...
Ye Fei wasn't the only one who felt embarrassed.
The boy's Adam's apple bobbed for a few seconds. The girl in his arms was as quiet as a little rabbit. He even steadied his steps, afraid of waking her.
A fragile body, a light weight, steady breathing... things that are common in normal times, are now so easily felt.
Li Yuan pursed his thin lips, his expression still cold and stern, but the tips of his ears, which were silently turning red, betrayed his inner emotions at this moment.
After walking for a while, Li Yuan keenly sensed that someone was silently approaching. He took the opportunity to free one hand and gently tap Ye Fei's neck with his finger.
The next second, several people dressed in black and with their faces covered by black cloth appeared from all directions, surrounding Li Yuan and Ye Fei.
Li Yuan looked at the token hanging from the waist of the leading man in black, which had a pattern on it.
This pattern matches the mark found on the tree before Ye Fei was kidnapped—
"Kid, our target is the girl you're holding." The man in black pointed to the sleeping person in the boy's arms and sneered, "Put her down and you can leave."
"What would happen if I said no?" Li Yuan asked rhetorically. His voice was very pleasant, melodious and magnetic, but it also carried an undisguised chill, making the listener feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
The man in black said, "We come from the Ye family, one of the eight great families. No one is foolish enough to oppose the Ye family. A wise man knows when to yield. You should understand this principle, kid."
Li Yuan's lips curled up in a half-smile: "With just a flick of my finger, your Ye family will be reduced to ruins."
"Arrogant brat, do you know that we are all powerful figures in the human realm who revere the Ye Clan! What can you, a mere fifth-level spirit master, do to us?" The man in black couldn't help but laugh loudly, but the next second, he couldn't laugh anymore.
The boy was shrouded in a strange black mist, and in an instant, a tall and handsome man emerged from the mist.
His long, black hair hung freely down his back, and his dark robe with gold embroidery exuded nobility and domineering aura. His handsome face was exquisite, like an immortal who had stepped out of a painting. Only his deep, dark purple eyes were unusually cold, with an intense chill and killing intent lingering within them.
The man in black pointed a trembling finger at Li Yuan: "Purple... Purple Eyes! You are the ruler of the Demon Realm... Demon Lord Li Yuan!"
Li Yuan narrowed his long, purple eyes: "Any human who knows my name will not live long."
As soon as he finished speaking, several silver threads flew out from Li Yuan's body in a strange ray-like pattern. The next moment, a series of "poof poof poof" sounds rang out, and the Ye Clan experts around him were all pierced through by the silver threads!
Blood beads clung to the silver threads, and a nauseating, pungent smell of blood filled the air.
