Upon returning to his home in the Feather Clan, Yu Ye dared not even step inside.
His two little nieces stood on either side of his shoulders.
Yu Qianzi urged, "Uncle, come in quickly, you've been standing here for so long."
Another Yu Qianqing said, "Uncle, it's better to die later than sooner. Go in, we support you."
Yu Qianzi chimed in, "At worst, we'll just get a skin peeled off. What's the big deal?"
Yu Ye couldn't hold back any longer. He flicked the two little birds off his shoulder, took a deep breath, and went inside.
The two little birds tumbled around in mid-air a few times before regaining their balance and flying back into the house with their uncle.
Yu Xi was making clothes out of feathers when she saw that only the three birds had returned. She looked back and asked, "Where's Xiao Ye?"
Yu Ye swallowed hard, then slid down to his knees with a 'thud' before his mother, choking back tears: "Mother... Xiao Ye has been chosen by the Demon King to be his queen."
The feathers in Yu Xi's hand scattered all over the ground with a whoosh. She stepped forward, grabbed one of his ears, and said in a shrill voice, "What did you say?!"
The two little birds nearby had already huddled in the corner, their heads drooping, trembling like little quails.
Yu Ye glanced at the two little ones and decided to carry it himself. "Mother, Xiao Yezi was in the tree with us. Even though we were far away, the Demon King seemed to be able to see a thousand meters away. He flew over and grabbed Xiao Yezi and left. We were all startled."
Even the lesser demons didn't dare to refute him; that oppressive aura was enough to keep him from moving.
Yu Xi twisted his ear, her eyes red and moist: "I told you to look from a distance, and you just watched Xiao Ye disappear like that?"
Little Ye, a mere human cub, might not even survive in the perilous Demon King's Palace. What if she were to be...? She simply couldn't bear to imagine it.
Yu Xi winced in pain, trying to cover her ears, and cried out, "Mother, be gentle, be gentle."
He then quickly repeated what Ye Shang had told him, "Little Ye told you not to worry, she'll be fine. I think if she dares to say that, she must have a way to come back."
Yu Xi calmed down and then thought about Xiao Ye's personality. She guessed that it was because the Demon King Palace had no shortage of rare medicinal herbs for her.
She collapsed to the ground, blaming herself: "It's all our family's fault that Xiao Ye is like this."
I should have sent Xiao Ye back to the human world as soon as her injuries had healed.
Yu Ye hugged his mother and cried, "Mother, let's ask the clan leader to go find the Demon King together? Let's see if we can use some treasure to exchange for Xiao Yezi."
Yu Xi shook her head: "It's no use. The Demon King is the will of the Demon Realm, and even the clan leader can't do anything about it. Never mind, I'll try to go to the Demon King's Palace to see if I can see Xiao Ye."
Yu Ye quickly said, "Mother, I'll go with you."
Yu Xi stood up. "No need. You can stay home and look after the two little ones. I'll be right back."
Having said that, he went out the door, then transformed into a feathered bird and flew swiftly towards the Demon King's Palace.
She was very fast, but it still took her about an hour to fly.
As darkness fell, a vast expanse of twilight appeared on the horizon of the demon realm, painting the world in a breathtaking beauty that made the demons linger and admire it.
In the past, she might have taken Xiao Ye to enjoy the view for a while.
But Yu Xi doesn't have time to appreciate those things right now. She's been exhausted lately, and the whole demon looks very tired.
