Chapter 995 Extra: Rebirth
The Demon Realm.
Today is the Lantern Festival, and every corner of the demon realm is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
This is the first time Chao Ran has participated in the Lantern Festival since his birth.
"I've read in books that the Lantern Festival is a festival for humans, so why does it also exist in the demon realm?"
Chao Ran looked at her brother, who was holding her back, with a puzzled expression.
Her brother turned to look at her and explained, "That's true, but Princess Fei really likes this festival, so everyone celebrates together."
Chao Ran was taken aback for a moment, then asked again, "Your Highness Fei? Is that the ruler of our demon race?"
The elder brother quickly covered Chao Ran's mouth: "Shh! Keep your voice down! Don't say anything rude! Or you'll end up in jail!"
Chao Ran dared not utter a sound.
She didn't dare tell her brother that the title "Your Highness Fei" gave her a sense of déjà vu.
It felt like I'd heard it somewhere long ago.
*
Along the riverbank, countless demon men and women were releasing river lanterns, expressing their feelings for each other under the flowers and moon.
Chao Ran is the most hardworking child in the family.
Her parents doted on her, and even her older brother, who was two years older than her, did not receive such affection.
However, Chao Ran rarely left her home. Her mind was entirely focused on cultivation, and she knew nothing about the world outside her home.
In the end, her older brother couldn't stand it anymore and dragged her out that very night to participate in the lantern festival.
Chao Ran looked around curiously, gradually becoming attracted by the lively atmosphere before her.
After walking for a while, Chao Ran realized that her brother, who had been walking in front of her, had disappeared—the two siblings had gotten separated!
All around were unfamiliar demon races, and Chao Ran, timid and fearful, was overwhelmed by terror.
Just as she was about to anxiously search for her brother, a hand reached out from behind her and slapped her on the shoulder!
Chao Ran was startled and turned around abruptly, where a delicate face came into view.
"You got separated from your parents?" Ye Fei asked her.
Chao Ran paused for a moment, then took a deep look at the elegantly dressed woman before him.
She is very beautiful.
And... it seems like I've seen her somewhere before.
Where is it?
Chao Ran racked her brains, but still couldn't recall it.
Ye Fei was also scrutinizing Chao Ran, and after a long while, she too was stunned.
She suddenly noticed that the demon girl's eyes were incredibly bright and expressive.
Just like... just like Mu Han's eyes.
Ye Fei was startled by her own sudden thought.
"What happened?"
A pleasant male voice came from behind her. Ye Fei turned around and saw Li Yuan, who was slowly walking towards her, holding the hand of a little boy in a black brocade robe.
Chao Ran subconsciously fixed her gaze on Li Yuan and the little boy. Were these her husband and child?
Ye Fei smiled and shook her head at Li Yuan, then took the little boy's other hand in hers: "Was the Lantern Festival fun?"
Tang Jue raised her delicate, white face and obediently replied, "As long as I'm with Daddy and Mommy, anywhere is fun."
Ye Fei smiled and gently pinched her son's cheek.
After the Tang family migrated to the demon realm, she immediately recognized her ancestors and returned to her clan.
Although the Tang family changed her surname and her name changed from "Ye Fei" to "Tang Fei", she still preferred "Ye Fei" in her heart.
It wasn't because of the surname "Ye," but because of the name "Ye Fei," which was given to her by her mother—Tang Jiangxun hoped that her daughter's life could be like her name, a fiery red that could illuminate her in the darkness.
Later, her son with Li Yuan was born, named "Jue", taking the Tang family surname.
Ye Fei picked up her son and then looked at Chao Ran: "Come with us, we'll help you find your parents."
Chao Ran shook her head: "I got separated from my brother and wanted to wait for him to come find me... Thank you for your kindness."
"I see..."
Ye Fei thought for a moment and decided to ask her anyway, "What's your name? How old are you?"
Chao Ran didn't really want to talk to strangers, but the woman in front of her gave her a strange sense of familiarity.
She didn't think for long: "My name is Chaoran, and I'm ten years old."
Ye Fei remained silent.
A moment later, she looked up at the night sky and murmured, "...Unbeknownst to me, she has been gone for ten years."
After speaking, Ye Fei turned her gaze back to the demon girl in front of her.
The evening chill.
Burning.
It's a very good name.
Ye Fei handed her son to Li Yuan, then placed her hand on Chao Ran's head and rubbed it: "In the future, if you have the opportunity, go to Lingfeng Academy in the human realm to study."
"I think the dean and elders will like you very much."
...
Chao Ran watched the couple leave with their child.
Not long after, her brother finally came looking for her, muttering under his breath, "Where have you been, you brat? I've been looking for you for ages..."
Chao Ran did not speak.
The older brother thought he had gone too far in disciplining his younger sister and was about to apologize when—
Chao Ran suddenly looked up and said, "Brother! I want to study at the Spirit Wind Academy in the human realm. What do you think?"
Brother: "...?"
Chao Ran grabbed her brother's sleeve and headed towards home: "What's so interesting about the Lantern Festival? We'd rather go back and cultivate with you..."
For some reason, Chao Ran felt her chest filled with an indescribable sense of excitement.
Human realm...
Lingfeng Academy...
Chao Ran began to look forward to it.
Perhaps, it's a wonderful place?
