He thought he would finally have a home, no longer have to wander and roam, and he would even have his own name.
But is all of this just a mirage? Will she also despise him for being a useless good-for-nothing?
"I think it's you lot who should be ashamed." Yan Yue, the progenitor of the demon realm, dressed in red, walked over and grabbed the ear of a young nobleman with one hand.
The other scions of noble families immediately knelt down, their voices trembling as they bowed, "Ancestor, we...we greet the Ancestor."
"You young children are not learning good things. You are bullying the people I brought back. Is this how the Demon Realm treats its guests?"
"Should I go to your families and ask your parents if they need me to discipline their children?"
"Our ancestor, we know we were wrong. We will never dare to do it again. Please forgive us this time." The faces of those noble family scions changed instantly.
If the progenitor were to personally confront their family, they would be in deep trouble.
Seeing that they were young and didn't know any better, Yan Yue scared them a bit and then waved them away. Her gaze fell on the dejected Jun Yu, "You didn't really take their words to heart, did you?"
"But what they said is true, I really am a useless person who cannot cultivate."
"Who said that? How could the people I brought back be worse than others?" Yan Yue smiled. "Your situation is indeed a bit special, but it's nothing to me."
She took out a golden fruit and handed it to Junyu, saying, "Here, eat this. I went to great lengths to find it for you."
Junyu looked at the fruit in his hand, opened his mouth and ate it.
"You're very well-behaved," Yan Yue praised. Finally, she wasn't the same wary little animal cub she used to be.
After Jun Yu consumed the fruit, Yan Yue infused pure demonic energy into his body. "From now on, you can cultivate demonic energy. I bestow demonic energy upon you, and you are now a member of my demon realm. From now on, you will be my little follower."
Jun Yu looked at the demonic energy emerging from his palm, a hint of joy in his eyes.
It wasn't just because he was able to cultivate, but also because she hadn't abandoned him. It turned out that she hadn't been seen for several days to help him cultivate.
"Thank you, Ancestor." Jun Yu thought for a moment and addressed her in the same way as the other scions of noble families.
"Is being my little follower too much of a burden for you?" Yan Yue suddenly leaned closer to him.
Jun Yu instinctively took a step back, his face showing panic. "No."
"Then why do you call me Ancestor like those outsiders? I don't like it, change it." Yan Yue saw Jun Yu's serious expression and wanted to tease him.
He was clearly a handsome young boy who should have had the spirit of youth, but he always put on a cold and unsmiling appearance.
It's quite fascinating how sometimes a pure and innocent look can flash across their ever-vigilant eyes.
"Your Highness," Jun Yu called out hesitantly.
"This title is not bad. From now on, you will follow me and adapt well to life in the demon race. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me anytime."
......
In another scene clip.
In the pavilion in the center of the Demon Realm Flower Sea, a man and a woman were sitting there drinking together. The man was handsome and elegant, while the woman was free-spirited and unrestrained.
The two of them chatted and drank heartily, their scene as beautiful as a painting.
Junyu stood not far away, looking at the scene before him, and found it extremely glaring.
The occasional whispers of the demon guards fueled his jealousy.
"The God Lord and our Ancestor are a perfect match. One is the supreme being of the God Realm, and the other is the supreme being of the Demon Realm. They are also friends of many years and have been together for a long time. If they were together, the relationship between the God Realm and the Demon Realm would definitely be even closer."
“I think this good thing is just around the corner. The God Lord often comes to see our Ancestor. He is the only person in the world who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Ancestor. The two of them together are simply a match made in heaven.”
The two demon guards were talking excitedly when they suddenly felt a chill behind them. They turned around and saw Jun Yu standing behind them with an ugly expression.
They quickly greeted him, "Young Master Jun."
After bowing, he quickly left.
Ever since this young master was taken in by the Ancestor, he has been by the Ancestor's side and can be described as the Ancestor's favorite. He personally takes care of all kinds of matters, big and small, for the Ancestor.
In the demon realm, even the heads of some noble families have to address him respectfully as Young Master Jun.
Junyu stood there like a wooden sculpture, quietly watching the two laughing and talking, feeling a dull ache in his heart.
He envied the relationship between that person and His Highness, and was jealous that the person was by His Highness's side. He was even more annoyed that he had met His Highness a step too late.
Despite the complex emotions churning within him that he couldn't quite articulate, he knew he had no right to step forward.
No matter how good his relationship with His Highness was, to His Highness he was just a trustworthy subordinate guard, and he could only watch everything silently like an outsider.
It's unclear how much time has passed, but after the God Lord Cang Jun left, Yan Yue rested her head on her hand.
Jun Yu stepped forward as if possessed. "Your Highness, I'll escort you back to Yan Hua Palace. Rest here and be careful not to catch a cold."
Yan Yue opened her eyes, staring at the person in front of her with blurry, drunken eyes. "Caught a cold? I am the progenitor of the Demon Realm, the most powerful person ever. How could I catch a cold?"
"You haven't been drinking, are you just talking nonsense?" Yan Yue lightly patted Jun Yu's face, then stroked it instead. "Whose handsome young master is this? He's really good-looking."
"Are you interested in coming with me? There are many benefits to being by my side. I can take you to eat and drink the best food and travel the Three Realms." Yan Yue's tone was soft, with a hint of coaxing in her voice.
"I am Jun Yu, Your Highness. You are drunk. I will take you back." Jun Yu helped Yan Yue up.
"Junyu?" Yan Yue murmured, "I seem to remember him a little. He was a very well-behaved little brother. I've been so good to you, so what's wrong with letting you call me 'sister'? Be good, call me 'sister'."
Seeing that Jun Yu remained silent, Yan Yue cupped his face and kneaded it vigorously, saying, "You ungrateful wretch, all the good I've done for you has been for nothing."
Jun Yu stood frozen, not daring to move an inch. He felt his heart pounding so fast it felt like it was about to jump out of his chest. He let her do whatever she wanted to his face.
The alcohol took effect, and Yan Yue tilted her head, completely drunk, and collapsed onto Jun Yu's shoulder.
Jun Yu looked at Yan Yue, who was so close to him, and wanted to reach out and touch her face, but he restrained himself and withdrew his hand just before he touched her.
He picked Yan Yue up in his arms and carried her towards Yan Hua Palace.
He once only wanted to follow her, be loyal to her, and be willing to do anything for her, clearing away all obstacles, just to stay in the Demon Realm and by her side.
But people are greedy, and he was no exception.
