Chapter 422 A blond guy?!
rustling sound—
Beside the flickering campfire, the dry pine branches crackled and popped as they burned.
Ye Han sat upright before a blue stone, holding a writing brush to write a letter to the human race. The brush tip fell rapidly, informing him of the success of the operation and describing the details.
As the current headmaster of the Heavenly Academy said, the resurgence of the remnants is not only a calamity for the human race, but a great calamity for the entire world.
Therefore, even though the demon race had experienced being used as a stepping stone before, they now had to consider the possibility of an alliance with the human race. After all, even if they had to go to the snowy region for another thousand years, it would be better than being enslaved by the remnant race and used as food.
The human race is currently in the south helping them tie down the main force of the remnant race, so this letter must be sent urgently, both as an explanation and as a show of sincerity before the alliance is formed.
After finishing writing the letter, he waved his hand lightly, summoning a demon general behind him.
"Go, travel stealthily, avoid the remnants of the tribe guarding the territory, and escort them to Lingzhou."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The demon general took the letter and then turned and rushed into the darkness.
Just as the demon general departed, two guards strolled back into the canyon.
Ye Han was slightly taken aback when he saw this: "Why are only the two of you back? Where is Feng Yang?"
"Your Highness, the princess just gave some treatment to the human beings, and then suddenly said that she wanted to go out for a walk and didn't want us to follow her."
"There's fog all around, where is she going?"
"This subordinate is unaware..."
Ye Han put down his pen, thinking to himself that his younger sister was a great demon in the Heavenly Demon Realm, and was also very intelligent. She wouldn't be fooled. He decided to go out for a stroll.
However, as time went by, he, as the older brother, began to feel increasingly restless.
Meanwhile, on the shore of a wild lake to the east of the rest area.
Feng Yang was still staring blankly at the person in front of him, thinking about that farewell from tomorrow, and kept acting foolishly.
In fact, this demon princess never had any extravagant desires for Ji You. Just as she said, her love could be like her love for the stars and the sun and moon, without the other party knowing.
If it weren't for the sudden news of his death, she might have remained in this silent state for the rest of her life.
It was precisely because they knew he was dead that this faint feeling suddenly became intense.
So she wanted to investigate, to get to the bottom of things, to prove that he was still alive.
Even after it was proven that he was alive, Feng Yang never thought of marrying him or sticking by his side. She still felt that if they could grow old together in the snow, that would be enough.
But she never expected to be held in his arms, have her waist gently stroked, and hear him say he liked her.
In an instant, his crimson vertical pupils trembled violently, and his delicate eyelashes shook uncontrollably.
Ji You's soul was sensitive to the outside world, and at this moment he felt the little fairy in his arms' body temperature rising continuously, and her breath, which was as delicate as an orchid, gradually becoming hot. He became completely dazed.
This girl is usually dignified, elegant, and poised, but she suddenly becomes adorable at times like this.
Fine, a clay body it is then.
Ji You thought to himself, then leaned down and kissed her soft lips, immediately feeling the sweetness that belonged only to this princess.
Feng Yang trembled for a moment, and even after Ji You moved her lips away, she still kept her hands tightly clenched, staring at him in a daze.
It seems she has a husband now...
"Feng Yang?!"
"Feng Yang, where did you go?"
"Your Highness..."
"You go search to the west, we'll go to the south!"
In the nearby mountains and forests, a series of shouts suddenly shattered the silence of the night.
At that moment, Princess Fengyang was nestled foolishly in Ji You's arms. Upon hearing the sound from afar, she was slightly startled, then nuzzled against his chest and turned her head blankly toward the source of the sound.
It wasn't until Ji You gently pinched her cheek that the demon princess realized who was calling her, and she suddenly opened her eyes wide.
"Should I leave first?" Ji You thought of the look in the eyes of her demon prince when he looked at her in Shengjing, and couldn't help but whisper.
Feng Yang immediately nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Then I will not say goodbye to you tomorrow morning. If I successfully break through to the next realm, I will definitely go back to see you."
"Feng Yang understands."
Upon hearing her soft reply, Ji You gently loosened her waist, turned around, and disappeared into the jungle in an instant, circling back to their resting place in an arc.
Just moments after he left, a rapid whooshing sound came from the night sky, and Ye Han and his guards hurriedly arrived at the lakeside.
When Ye Han saw his younger sister standing alone by the river, staring blankly at the night sky, a hint of doubt appeared on his face.
"Feng Yang?"
“Brother…” Feng Yang turned his head, feigning composure as he looked at him, “Why are you here?”
"It's so late, and this area is often frequented by remnants of the ancient race, so naturally I'm worried about where you've gone. By the way, what are you doing here?"
Feng Yang spoke softly and calmly, "I couldn't sleep last night, so I came out for a walk."
Ye Han was slightly taken aback when she heard his voice: "You've caught a cold?"
"No...no, why does Your Majesty ask such a question?"
Your voice sounds a little strange.
After Ye Han finished speaking, he carefully looked at his younger sister and suddenly noticed that her cheeks were slightly pink, her ear tips were slightly perked up, and her eyes seemed to have a pool of clear water rippling in them.
This was clearly an expression of affection from the demon women, which puzzled the demon prince.
Ever since that blond human died, my sister's heart has been as if it were dead, and even her smiles have become pale. She has never been as energetic as she is today.
Ye Han subconsciously looked around, and finding no one there, she turned to her sister and asked, "Did you come out alone?"
Feng Yang nodded slightly after hearing this: "Just me."
"Why didn't you even bring the guards I gave you?"
"I was just thinking about my own things, and I figured I wouldn't go too far, so there was no need to bring guards."
Ye Han also realized that he was overthinking things. There wasn't even a weasel within a hundred miles around, so there was no way there was any yellow-haired creature.
Besides, if my sister were really so fickle, she wouldn't have become increasingly thin after knowing that human with blond hair died, and she wouldn't have even carved a memorial tablet for her deceased husband to carry with her.
"Would you like your elder brother to accompany you for another stroll?"
"No need. I've probably figured some things out. I'll just go back and rest."
"That's good, after all, we still need to escort our clansmen to Liangzhou tomorrow."
Feng Yang nodded obediently, and then followed his elder brother through the mountains and forests, returning to their resting place.
By this time, Huang Mao was already sitting under the ancient tree, calm and composed, as if he had never secretly flirted with anyone's sister, sitting upright and proper.
But only he knew that the sweet taste of the princess's red lips still lingered in his mouth, and the warmth of her slender waist remained in his hands.
Three already, each with an impressive background; they really do have a huge family business...
The couplet that Kuang Cheng wrote for him back then really came true.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the beautiful figure illuminated by the firelight in the distance, and saw that the little fairy who had just returned was also looking at him from afar.
Just then, the others who had gone out to search for the princess returned one after another. Upon seeing this, they couldn't help but fly forward and ask, "Where has Your Highness gone?"
“She went for a walk by the lake by herself,” Ye Han answered for his sister.
Upon hearing this, Yu Ling looked at Feng Yang and said, "If Your Highness wishes to go out again next time, just call me along. I can even act as your bodyguard."
Feng Yang turned his head to look at the figure dozing under the ancient tree on the opposite hillside, his handsome cheeks puffing out slightly, but he did not hear the friendly remark.
Perhaps things happened too fast. From knowing he wasn't dead to hearing him say he liked her, it all happened so quickly that she felt a little dazed, as if it were all an illusion. This made her subconsciously want to get confirmation, which is why she kept wanting to see him.
"Feng Yang?" Ye Han noticed his sister's absent-mindedness very quickly and couldn't help but call out softly.
"Huh?" Feng Yang quickly came to his senses. "What did you just say, Your Majesty?"
"Yu Ling said that if you go out again next time, you can ask him to accompany you."
Feng Yang turned around upon hearing this, and then looked at the people around him: "I know that I acted without considering the occasion today and caused you all to worry. I will definitely not do it again next time."
Yu Ling was not disappointed by this tactful rejection; instead, she stared at Feng Yang in a daze.
For some reason, he felt that Prince Fengyang was truly incredibly beautiful tonight, as if he had been bathed in a spring breeze.
"Alright everyone, let's get some rest," Ye Han said softly.
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Brother, I'm going to rest too."
Ye Han nodded gently when she heard her sister's voice, watched her go to the sheltered hillside, and then looked around.
For some reason, he still felt there was a blond guy nearby, but he had no proof.
The night was cool as water, and the surrounding area was filled with the sounds of people snoring, exhausted to the extreme.
Behind a rock on the leeward slope, Feng Yang sat upright by the campfire, threw the wooden plaque in his hand into the fire, and then stared intently at the firelight with his beautiful eyes.
When she was held in Ji You's arms just now, she almost forgot who she was. After she calmed down, she realized that she actually had a lot to say to him.
For example, how does he want to get his physical body back? What is the important vow he made? And for example, she had seen Yan Shuyi before and even traveled with her. She wanted to ask Ji You if she and her daughter were safe.
After the human and demon races became completely opposed, news between the two races ceased to circulate.
Feng Yang didn't know when Ji You had recovered, didn't know that he had never secretly gone back even once, and didn't even know that he hadn't had time to learn the good news he should have known.
Lost in thought, she drifted off to sleep without realizing it.
She slept soundly that night, with the sky as her blanket and the earth as her bed, and had a series of sweet dreams.
Ye Han, however, did not fall asleep. He kept gripping his long knife and patrolling the police territory along the mountain, fearing that the remnants of the clan might attack.
He was a noble prince, and could have sent guards to keep watch at night, but he was responsible for the entire clan, and there were some things he couldn't trust others to do himself.
After patrolling the front of the mountain for a week, Ye Han gradually moved to the back slope and glanced at his sleeping sister.
Just then, his eyes were drawn to something in the firelight.
It was a wooden plaque that read "Deceased Husband Ji," but the rest of the words had been burned away.
Seeing this, he was slightly taken aback, and then looked at his sister again.
He always knew that his sister carried a memorial tablet for Ji You in her baggage, which she took with her wherever she went. The original tablet was accidentally lost when she left Yunzhou, so she had another one made in Liangzhou.
My sister usually cherishes this memorial tablet so much that he wouldn't even let her see it. How could it have been suddenly thrown into the fire?
Oh, I understand.
It seems that my sister was suddenly saved by a human swordsman today, which stirred up her longing for him, so she took it out to look at it. As a result, she accidentally fell asleep, and unexpectedly, the memorial tablet fell into the fire.
No wonder, no wonder my sister suddenly wanted to go out for a walk. Now I understand, everything makes sense.
Ye Han squinted, looked around to make sure no one was around, and then quietly kicked the remaining half into the fire.
After doing all that, he pretended nothing had happened and strolled back to the front of the mountain, leaning on his knife.
He had just sat down by the campfire on the front hill when he suddenly saw a figure stand up under the ancient tree opposite him...
Because of the darkness of the night, Qingzhou actually has no clear boundary between day and night, especially in the Great Wilderness Forest, where everything is deep and dark.
After sleeping for a long time, Feng Yang got up under the gloomy sky and saw that the rest of the clan had already begun to make preparations. Her first instinct was to look at the ancient tree opposite her.
But the area beneath that ancient tree was now empty, and the figure from my dream was no longer there.
Seeing this, Feng Yang got up and walked to the front of the slope. He saw his elder brother checking on the condition of the old demon kings and couldn't help but go over: "Brother, where is the human who helped us yesterday?"
“He left early in the morning, saying he would not return with us, and that as the saying goes, ‘A bosom friend afar brings a distant land near,’ and then he went north.”
After listening, Feng Yang perked up his ears: "You two were chatting?"
Ye Han nodded: "He asked me about the current situation of the human race and how many of the strongest warriors of the remnant race there are. I told him everything I knew."
Feng Yang nodded after hearing this, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, he couldn't help but turn back and look at Ye Han as if he had suddenly remembered something.
The demon prince looked at her with a slightly guilty expression: "What's wrong? Did you lose something?"
"No, I just wanted to ask my brother if I went to the wild lake in the east to relax yesterday?"
"Yes, I'm the one who found you, have you forgotten?"
"I haven't forgotten, but I'm afraid I'm just dreaming."
"?"
Meanwhile, in the north of Qingzhou, Ji You, who had left the Great Wilderness Forest, was traversing the rolling darkness alone.
While the allure of a gentle embrace is undeniable, he has always been adept at prioritizing tasks and knows exactly what he should be doing.
Before leaving, he learned from Ye Han that the remnant clan had produced several supreme experts with the combat power of the Immortal Realm, and even one who was called a prince and was close to the peak of the Immortal Realm, which made the situation even more dangerous and urgent.
The good news is that the human immortal sects have now formed an alliance and, under the protection of the sacred artifact, will not be easily defeated. Therefore, he still has time to continue his enlightenment and regain his physical body to face everything together with them.
However, since the palace of the remnant clan on the other side of the Great Wilderness Forest was attacked, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the remnant clan, and the surrounding area will gradually become dangerous and no longer a good place for enlightenment. Therefore, he should try to go further north.
But just like his encounter in the Great Wilderness Forest, Ji You was always captured by the guards of the nearby remnant tribes in some way whenever he went to a new place, so he had to keep changing locations.
The problem is that the rules of the Divine Travel Realm are more profound than those of the Boundless Realm, and it takes much longer. Being interrupted from time to time seriously slows down his cultivation progress.
The night wind howled, lifting the hem of his blue robe like a torn banner.
As Ji You left from the previous place, he cut through the wind and clouds. At the same time, the three-foot-long sword in his hand suddenly emitted a clear and melodious sound, and a mighty sword aura suddenly slashed down. The sword light was like a cold moon pouring down, precise and deadly.
The oncoming night wind seemed to be briefly sliced apart by the sword. In the wind, a soldier of the remnant race who tried to intercept suddenly froze, then exploded into a cloud of blood mist in the air. He didn't even have time to scream before he fell straight down from the sky and silently disappeared into the darkness below.
Amidst the battles and bloodshed, Ji You gradually arrived at the border between Qingzhou and Youzhou.
Looking out over Youzhou with divine sense, a storm woven from flesh and blood and malevolent energy was howling wildly across the vast plains, gathering into a gigantic living furnace. Within it, four chilling auras flickered in and out, gradually taking shape with the pulsation of the storm.
Ji You concealed his aura and landed deep within the vast Yuheng Mountain Range. Gazing at this enormous and bloody scene, he felt a chill run down his spine.
"It's like a giant meat grinder..."
He had already heard from Ye Han that the remnant race had shed their physical bodies and slept in the form of divine souls, and that they were able to reappear in the world because they were reborn by condensing the flesh and blood of the barbarian race.
But it wasn't until he saw it with his own eyes that he understood just how bloody and brutal this race was.
After staring at the storm of flesh and blood for a long time, Ji You turned his gaze to the churning darkness above.
Here, the dark power of the Heavenly Dao is far more violent than elsewhere, like a ferocious beast breaking free of its shackles, displaying the full force of its rules.
"Does a bigger storm mean a higher price for fish?"
Ji You, amidst the vast mountains and forests, gradually entered a meditative state, drawn by the pull of the laws.
Before long, a mysterious light gradually rose from that deep corner where the branches and leaves were lush.
