He composed himself, summoned the tea table, poured a cup of flower tea, and handed it to Yun Zhiqi.
"Have a cup of tea, Your Majesty."
Yun Zhiqi held the warm teacup in her small hands, blew on the rising steam, and drank it down in small sips.
Yanluo poured tea for herself, which meant she had adjusted her mood. Yun Zhiqi put the teacup back on the tea tray and looked at Yanluo beside her, promising again, "I, Yun Zhiqi, swear on my soul that I will absolutely protect Yi'er and Su Qing."
Yanluo poured Yun Zhiqi another cup of tea. She glanced at her, then picked up her own teacup and drank the hot tea in one gulp. She then sighed and said, "I'm counting on you."
Yun Zhiqi nodded solemnly.
"Can you continue telling me the story of 'Lin Daiyu vs. Genshin Impact'? You didn't talk to me at all last night."
Yun Zhiqi seemed a little aggrieved when she said this.
Yan Luo smiled helplessly, "Alright, I'll continue telling you. After this story, I'll tell you the story of 'Bald Qiang's Brave Adventure in the Green Green Grassland,' or would you like to hear another story called 'Lan Ruobing's Seven-Day Speedrun Through Seven Parallel Universes'?"
Yun Zhiqi blinked. Although the story's title was rather long, Yanluo's storytelling was indeed very engaging.
"I want to hear everything."
Okay, I'll tell you.
...
Thursday, March 6.
After the girls at home went to school, Yun Zhiqi woke up in place of Tu Yier, and she habitually carried her rabbit doll out of the room.
Su Qing and the other girls, who had just finished breakfast, were sitting in the small living room on the second floor. Qin Jinwen and the others were also there.
The moment Yun Zhiqi stepped out of the room using Tu Yier's body, three pairs of cold eyes turned to her: Shao Shenyun, Bai Ningbing, and Shang Xinci.
The three of them keenly sensed the different aura emanating from Tu Yier and stood up to look at her.
Shao Shenyun had previously examined Tu Yier's body in her sleep. At that time, Yun Zhiqi was not fully awake due to insufficient power, so Shao Shenyun was unable to discover her identity.
Now Yun Zhiqi has completely exposed himself to the three of them. Only Bai Ningbing doesn't know who the other party is, but she finds his arrogant aura very annoying.
This was the first time Shao Shenyun had shown such a chilling look in front of everyone. She stared intently at Yun Zhiqi and said in an icy tone, "I didn't expect it to be you."
Yun Zhiqi looked at her indifferently, "It's me."
Su Qing and the others were completely confused, not understanding what was going on with the conversation between Shao Shenyun and Tu Yier. Moreover, Shao Shenyun looked a bit scary, and Tu Yier didn't look like Tu Yier at all.
Tu Yier has red hair and black eyes, while the child in front of her, although resembling Tu Yier, has red hair and golden eyes, and her gaze and temperament are completely different from the innocent Tu Yier.
Yun Zhiqi glanced at Bai Ningbing and Shang Xinci, and said without any emotion, "I didn't expect Yanluo to have two demon slaves."
Bai Ningbing didn't pay much attention to the term "demon pet," but she knew about the humiliating history of the demon race.
Before Shao Shenyun severed the passage, the demon race, ranked fourth in the Five Realms, was often enslaved. Because of their strong physiques, compared to the human race, which was easy to break down, the top three realms of immortals, demons, and ghosts especially favored the cheap, sturdy, and durable "demon slaves" they bought from the demon realm.
Compared to the human race, which was only enslaved by the ghost race, the demon race suffered even greater humiliation until the appearance of Shang Xinci and the heroic deeds of Shao Shenyun ended the demon realm's many years of humiliation.
Yun Zhiqi's words instantly enraged Shang Xinci. She was usually calm, but Yun Zhiqi's words were so hurtful, reminding her of the suffering compatriots of her time.
Shang Xinci suddenly appeared in front of Yun Zhiqi. Just as her palm was about to strike, she instantly regained her senses. Yun Zhiqi was now using Tu Yier's body.
"Heh, do you think the Celestial Emperors of the Celestial Realm are only good at empty talk?" Shang Xinci stared at her with unfriendly eyes after calming down.
Bai Ningbing pulled Shang Xinci behind her, protecting her, and said in a low voice, "Don't say such disgusting things using my child's body."
Yun Zhiqi sneered and said disdainfully, "Whether I speak or not, who can stop me? You are nothing but a mere fox demon."
Shao Shenyun comforted Bai Ningbing and Shang Xinci to sit down, and also asked Yun Zhiqi to sit down.
“Cloud Weeping, tell me, what is the purpose of your voluntary appearance?”
Yun Zhiqi, sitting on a single sofa with Tu Yier's small body, really looked down on the people around him like an emperor.
After scanning the people around her, she stared at Su Qing and said, "The other soul within her is the Demon Emperor."
Shao Shenyun wasn't surprised. Although she only found out after hearing it, as far as she was concerned, whether it was Tu Yier or Su Qing inside her body, she would definitely be able to protect whoever she wanted to protect.
Shang Xinci and Bai Ningbing were quite surprised. Anyone who had heard even a few rumors about the Demon Emperor knew how warlike and bloodthirsty he was.
Shao Shenyun glanced at Su Qing and then looked at Yun Zhiqi, asking, "So?"
Yun Zhiqi said calmly, "Yanluo agreed to let me use this child's body to go to the Immortal Realm with you, and to take her with me." After saying that, Yun Zhiqi pointed her little finger at Su Qing.
This elicited a gasp from everyone except Shao Shenyun.
Yun Zhiqi explained, and Shao Shenyun thought it made sense. In the end, it was still safer to have someone by her side. She looked at Su Qing.
"Qingqing, come with me. After I separate the other soul from your body, I will take you to find Yanluo and then go home."
Su Qing recovered from her shock and nodded solemnly. She didn't care about herself; all she wanted was to see Yan Luo, and she wanted to see him right away.
After seeing that Shao Shenyun and Su Qing had agreed, Yun Zhiqi closed her eyes and Tu Yier leaned back on the sofa. She woke up a short while later.
The adorable red-haired girl with black eyes—everyone has confirmed that it's Tu Yier who has woken up.
Tu Yier rubbed her eyes and found herself sitting on a single sofa, hugging a rabbit plushie.
"Huh, how did I get here?"
After pausing for a moment, Tu Yier greeted everyone with a smile, saying sweetly, "Good morning, Auntie, Auntie, Fox Auntie, Bun Auntie, Sister Puppy, Sister Wen, Sister Lan, Sister Zhou!"
Just like reciting the menu, Tu Yier greeted everyone. Bai Ningbing smiled, picked Tu Yier up, and kissed her on the cheek, murmuring, "This is my precious darling."
Shang Xinci came over, stretched out her hands to gesture for Tu Yier to come and hug her, and said to Bai Ningbing, "Go, go, let me hug you for a while."
Bai Ningbing buried Tu Yier in her Slime King and made a face at Shang Xinci.
"Impossible, Yi'er is mine, don't even think about it." With that, Bai Ningbing carried Tu Yi'er toward the bathroom, while Shang Xinci followed behind them, chattering incessantly.
