Lin Yue bit her lip tightly, as if she were about to draw blood, her eyes filled with struggle and contradiction.
After a painful internal struggle, she finally mustered the courage to speak: "Actually... I really had no choice! That great demon lord somehow found out my weakness and kidnapped my family members when I wasn't paying attention, using them as leverage to force me to serve him. I really had no choice but to obey his orders."
As she spoke, Lin Yue's emotions became increasingly agitated. Her eyes gradually became moist and flushed, and tears began to well up in the corners of her eyes.
Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen watched her silently. When their eyes met, they both revealed deep surprise and worry.
They never expected that Lin Yue, who was usually strong and optimistic, was carrying such a heavy burden.
"Since things have developed to this point, why didn't you inform us sooner? Perhaps we could have come up with a solution together." Ye Ying frowned, her tone carrying a hint of reproach and concern.
Lin Yue gently shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks like a burst dam: "Of course I know you hate the Demon Lord to the bone, but my family is still firmly under his control. How dare I act rashly or make any rash moves? I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I'll anger that hateful Demon Lord and give him an opportunity to harm my family."
Ji Wuchen sighed deeply, then gently patted Lin Yue's shoulder, comforting her, "It's too late for regrets now. The most important thing right now is to find a way to rescue your family and stop the Demon Lord from continuing his reckless behavior."
Ye Ying nodded in agreement: "That's right, we can't just sit idly by. Now that we know the truth, we must face it bravely. Lin Yue, don't worry, we will definitely help you rescue your family. But before that, you need to tell us everything you know about the Demon Lord."
Lin Yue glanced at them gratefully, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath to calm her tense mood, and then began to tell them everything she knew.

Ye Ying, Ji Wuchen, and Lin Yue sat together, their expressions grave, discussing a plan to deal with the Demon Lord and save Lin Yue's family...
Time passed by, and before we knew it, the negotiations ended late at night. The surroundings were quiet, with only the chirping of insects to be heard.
Everyone felt exhausted, their eyelids so heavy they could barely keep them open, so they decided to wash up first and then go to sleep.
A moment later, Ye Ying was fast asleep, her snoring echoing throughout the room like thunder, rising higher and higher.
However, Ji Wuchen returned to his room, lit an oil lamp, and began to write furiously. As he wrote quickly, he carefully recalled the weaknesses of the Demon Lord from millions of years ago.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a faint light shines through the window, and the sky gradually brightens.
At this moment, Ye Ying was still in a half-asleep state, feeling weak all over and extremely lazy, and just wanted to continue lying in bed without getting up.
Suddenly, a sharp, piercing scream tore through the air: "Ah... someone's dead!"
