Chapter 929: Why are you avoiding me?
Ye Fei slightly widened her eyes.
Immediately, she closed her eyes with unbearable pain, her voice cold: "I am not the Fei'er you speak of... Your Highness, please let me leave."
Li Yuan noticed her deliberate display of indifference, and his eyes darkened.
He didn't say anything, but simply gripped her wrist tightly, his fingertips touching the knuckle of her right middle finger.
Feeling that finger being touched by him, Ye Fei suddenly felt a strange pain as if she were being burned by fire!
She tried to shake off Li Yuan's hand, but he held her wrist tightly.
"open……"
Ye Fei struggled to pull her hand away, but the next second she heard him ask in a calm tone:
Why are you pretending not to know me?
"Fei'er, what are you afraid of?"
Ye Feijian struggled but couldn't break free, so she stopped struggling and instead propped herself up on the bed, her voice icy: "I wasn't pretending, and I wasn't afraid."
"Let me go. I have nothing to do with the demon realm anymore."
Li Yuan chuckled softly upon hearing this, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Then why did you sneak into the Demon Palace that night to examine my pulse?"
Ye Fei glanced at him but remained silent.
Her hands, resting on the blanket, were clenched into tight fists.
The next second, the man lifted the girl's chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.
Ye Fei froze when her gaze fell upon the fleeting pain in Li Yuan's eyes.
"Why are you avoiding me?" Li Yuan stared intently into her eyes, his voice hoarse. "For the past five years, I've been searching for you. Everyone says you're dead, but I refuse to believe it..."
"I've spent these five lonely years with longing for you... Ye Fei, do you really want to sever all ties with me?"
*
Hearing the barely concealed sob in his voice, Ye Fei felt as if her heart was being torn apart.
No... I don't want to sever all ties with you.
I miss you so much, and I want to hold you tight.
But she could not forget that she carried the lives of tens of thousands of demon civilians on her shoulders!
She couldn't just pretend nothing had happened...
Her heart was throbbing with pain, so much so that Ye Fei's eyes turned red.
Seeing Ye Fei biting her lip tightly and refusing to speak, Li Yuan ultimately did not force her to continue. He simply sighed, cupped her face in his hands, and gently kissed her lips, which were bitten until they were bluish and white.
A kiss so gentle it was like a feather falling from the sky.
His kiss was tender, revealing a deep affection that words could not express.
It was this kiss, filled with boundless tenderness, that brought tears to her eyes and made her whole body tremble uncontrollably.
Li Yuan...
She was the love of her life...
Everything felt unreal, like a dream. Ye Fei bit down hard on his probing tongue, a faint sweet and fishy taste filling their lips and teeth.
It was a sweet kiss, yet tinged with a hint of bloodshed.
Li Yuan's deep purple eyes darkened further. His thin lips left hers, and his fingers haphazardly tore open her collar before he bit down on Ye Fei's neck.
The force wasn't very deep, but it still made Ye Fei gasp softly and grip his robes tightly with both hands.
"Your Excellency..."
Jiang Bai's very untimely voice rang out outside the palace.
Li Yuan slightly loosened his grip on Ye Fei's body, his gaze falling on a faint tooth mark on her slender neck.
Is it only by leaving such marks on her that he can clearly feel that she is still by his side?
Ye Fei felt that Li Yuan's gaze was a little strange—it seemed to be filled with an aggressiveness that made her want to tear her apart and devour her whole.
Thinking of this, Ye Fei immediately wrapped herself tightly in the blanket.
