Chapter 926: The Demon Realm Returns 2
With demonic energy possessing her, the guards at the border who were checking the coming and going demons did not suspect anything, and Ye Fei was able to enter the demon realm very smoothly.
Taking advantage of Ye Fei's quickening pace, Ye Fei finally arrived at the Demon Palace.
Ye Fei used invisibility magic to sneak into the Demon Palace—one of the witchcraft techniques her master had taught her.
Avoiding countless demon guards' patrols, Ye Fei followed her memories from five years ago and arrived at a small courtyard outside the palace.
Candles were lit inside the palace, but the doors and windows were tightly closed. Figures could be vaguely seen moving back and forth, but other than that, nothing else could be discerned from the inside.
Ye Fei sat on the crossbeam near the pavilion in the palace. All she had to do now was wait patiently.
The moment those figures leave the palace will be the perfect opportunity for her to enter.
Ye Fei sat silently on the beam for an hour, enjoying the night breeze.
The palace gates opened, and a demon physician carrying a medicine chest and Jiang Bai walked out one after the other. They were talking in hushed tones, but Ye Fei couldn't hear them clearly.
Once the physician and Jiang Bai had left, and she was certain there were no other guards inside or outside the palace, she set off.
...
Instead of going directly through the palace gate, Ye Fei went around to the back of the palace window and planned to climb in through the window.
She crouched down, carefully opened the window, and nimbly jumped inside without making a sound.
The layout and furnishings inside the palace were exactly the same as they were five years ago, without any changes.
A faint medicinal fragrance filled the air. The candlelight was extinguished, and only through the dim light from outside the palace could one see a blurry figure lying on the bed. The dark silk bed curtains hung down, just enough to cover his face.
Ye Fei stood quietly by the window, her fists clenched, her gaze fixed on the figure on the bed, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
How could she not recognize who was lying on top of her...?
He was right in front of her, within reach, yet she suddenly lost the courage to move forward.
Li...Li Yuan.
I miss you so much.
Ye Fei inexplicably felt a lump in her throat, and her eyes gradually filled with warm tears.
She spent a long time mentally preparing herself, thinking about the purpose of coming here tonight, and finally mustered up the courage to slowly move forward.
With trembling hands, Ye Fei lifted the bed curtains and saw a face she could only see in her dreams—
The man lay on the bed, dressed in a black robe. His handsome face was pale and weak from his injuries. His eyes were closed and his breathing was steady.
He looks exactly the same as he did five years ago, with no change whatsoever.
Indeed, he has lived for tens of thousands of years, and his age can no longer be calculated using human age.
Ye Fei took a deep breath, gently touching his face with her fingertips, her eyes involuntarily reddening.
Li Yuan, it's been a long time...
She stood by the bed, gazing at his face for a long time. After a while, she came to her senses and reached out to Li Yuan's wrist to take his pulse.
The pulse was stable, without significant fluctuations...
By any measure, he didn't look like he was seriously injured.
Ye Fei breathed a sigh of relief. He should only have suffered minor injuries; as long as it wasn't serious, that was good...
Just as she was about to pull her fingers back, the man, who should have been fast asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed Ye Fei's wrist with his long, slender fingers!
When Ye Fei's gaze fell upon Li Yuan's deep purple eyes, which showed no sign of fatigue, she was startled: he hadn't fallen asleep at all!
escape!
Only this one word remained in Ye Fei's mind. She immediately broke free from Li Yuan's grasp, pushed open the palace door, and fled—
