Chapter 880: Becoming Her Support
Bai and Li Yu exchanged a glance, but neither of them spoke.
Li Yuan opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over his two attendants like sharp blades, awaiting their response.
Bai Liyu was startled by the dangerous look his master was giving him and stammered, "Reporting to Your Majesty! We... did not see Miss Ye!"
"Then how did you obtain this brocade pouch?" Li Yuan asked coldly.
Jiang Bai lowered his head and truthfully said, "Actually, when we arrived at the polar ice zone, this brocade pouch was deliberately thrown to us. After I caught it, I didn't see or sense any other person's presence nearby..."
Li Yuan remained silent, only tightly clutching the brocade pouch in his hand.
She dared not face his entourage?
Are you scared?
The atmosphere fell silent, and for a moment, no one spoke.
Finally, it was Qiu Yu, the progenitor, who broke the silence. He took the brocade pouch from Li Yuan's hand and said, "Wait for me for three more days, and I will refine the Nine-Turn Ice Jade Pill for you right away."

Ling returned to the demon realm alone.
"Where is Princess Fei?!" Qingzhu's expression changed when she didn't see Ye Fei.
“In the polar ice regions,” Ling replied.
Azi asked in confusion, "Didn't His Highness come back with you?"
Ling sighed, "His Highness said he would stay in the Arctic region for some time to train alone."
Upon hearing this, Qingzhu looked worried: "The Arctic region is no ordinary place. It would be very dangerous to train alone! Ling, why don't you choose to stay by His Highness's side?"
"Your Highness insists that I return to the Demon Realm first. I have no choice but to give up."
Ling pouted, her eyes dimming slightly, and she didn't seem very enthusiastic or interested: "I'll go back to my room first."
After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for Qingzhu's reply.
"Hey, don't go! I haven't finished asking you any questions!"
Qingzhu was anxious and wanted to rush over and grab Ling's sleeve, but Baishuang stopped her: "Never mind, let her go and have some peace and quiet."
"Why are you stopping me?!" Qingzhu glared at Baishuang.
Bai Shuang looked at him: "Are you going to rush to the Arctic region to bring His Highness back?"
Qingzhu was taken aback and immediately fell silent.
“Her Highness’s insistence on staying in the Arctic region must have its reasons.” Bai Shuang spoke calmly, but her tone was full of deep respect: “Her Highness needs to become stronger. She is going to venture into the Purgatory, so the four of us will do our best to be her support.”
Azi agreed, "Bai Shuang is right. Besides, the new ruler of the demon realm has just taken office, and we still have many things to handle on behalf of His Highness."
Qingzhu knew what Azi meant by "many things".
He calmed down and rubbed his temples wearily: "Yes... We are loyal to Your Highness and have no ulterior motives, but not all demons are willing to acknowledge a young girl with both human and demon blood as the queen of the demon realm."
In particular, the four guardian elders, who utterly despise humans and are extremely loyal to His Highness the Holy Emperor, would certainly not be willing to accept the current Princess Fei.
For this reason, during the days that Princess Fei was away from Youlong Palace, the four guardian beast elders caused trouble at Youlong Palace more than once.
Qingzhu sighed inwardly.
All I can say is that it's fortunate that Princess Fei chose to stay in the Arctic region.
Otherwise, if she had returned with Ling this time, she would have inevitably met with the four guardian beast elders.
Hopefully, on the day Your Highness decides to return to the Demon Realm, you will have the power to contend with these four elders...
