Chapter 925: The Demon Realm Returns
To celebrate Ye Fei's return to the demon realm, her attendants prepared a special banquet for her.
During the banquet, Ye Fei had a few drinks with everyone, which was quite unusual for her.
"Oh right, I haven't introduced him to you yet." Ye Fei handed wine glasses to her attendants and the four guardian beast elders, then pulled the snow-clad boy to her side: "He is the Painting Spirit, who has been by my side for the past five years. He is my friend."
Upon hearing the word "friend," Hua Ling's eyes dimmed slightly, but he concealed it well, and no one else noticed.
Upon hearing Ye Fei's words, everyone's attitude towards Hua Ling became respectful.
Friends who have been by Princess Fei's side for five years naturally deserve their respect.
However, halfway through the banquet, a demon guard rushed in, bowed to Ye Fei, and immediately said, "Your Highness Fei, a scout in the Demon Realm has received news—Demon Lord Li Yuan has been injured!"
Ye Fei's pupils contracted. She put down her wine glass and strode to the guard, her voice tense: "What happened? How did you get injured?!"
"It is understood that the Xilan Demon Clan recently launched a rebellion, intending to seize the throne. Demon Lord Li Yuan was injured while eliminating the Xilan Demon Clan."
Ye Fei clenched her fists and gritted her teeth inwardly.
The Xilan Demon Clan's forces!
She remembered that Lingxiao City was under the jurisdiction of the Xilan Demon Clan.
When Lingxiao City was massacred, the Xilan Demon Clan forces must have harbored resentment towards Li Yuan.
However, the Xilan Demon Clan's power is weak, and it would be too presumptuous for them to try to seize the throne.
Perhaps the Xilan Demon Clan's forces received covert assistance from other powers...
Ye Fei's face was extremely ugly; it was all a mess she had left behind!
"How is the Demon Lord now? Has his injury stabilized?" Ye Fei asked again in a cold voice.
The demon guard replied, "Your Highness, it seems this matter is being deliberately suppressed by the Demon Lord's entourage; our spies are unable to obtain any further information..."
Ye Fei's face was ashen. She flicked her robes and looked at her attendants: "You all stay in the Demon Realm. I'm going to the Demon Realm."
"Your Highness Fei, you're going to the Demon Realm alone?!" Qingzhu's eyes widened.
Ye Fei nodded: "Yes."
"This is too dangerous!" Qingzhu disagreed. "Your Highness, you may not know this, but there are still many demons in the Demon Realm who hate you to the core..."
Qingzhu's words added a touch of sadness to Ye Fei's eyes.
She closed her eyes briefly, then opened them and patted Qingzhu's shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm just going to the Demon Realm to find out about Liyuan's injuries. I'll be back soon."
After a pause, the girl seemed to remember something and continued, "If I am not able to return within a day, do not make any rash moves... I will find a way to escape danger."
"Your Highness..."
Qingzhu wanted to try to dissuade her again, but Ye Fei turned and left Youlong Palace decisively.
Hua Ling tightened her grip on the wine glass.
He turned his head, his clear and clean eyes meeting Qingzhu's eyes: "Does Xiaofei have some connection with that Demon Lord Li Yuan?"
Qingzhu found it rather strange: "Princess Fei...she didn't mention anything to you about her past experiences?"
The painting spirit shook its head.
Qingzhu sighed, "If Princess Fei hasn't mentioned it, then I wouldn't dare to say anything more."
Hua Ling pursed her lips.
He wouldn't pry into things that Xiao Fei didn't want to talk about.
But he vaguely sensed that the relationship between Xiao Fei and that Demon Lord was... quite unusual.

Ye Fei rushed all the way to the Demon Realm.
Upon arriving at the border of the Demon Realm, since she could not avoid completely entering the Demon Realm's territory to reach the Demon Palace, she used the Mirror of Myriad Manifestations to change her appearance and secretly activated the demonic energy within her body.
After being possessed by demonic energy, her eyes will have a hint of purple light, which is also a symbol of the demon race.
