Ye Zifeng's Tribulation of the Heart Demons

Absolutely! Here's the translation, adhering to your rules and guidelines:

The Forget Worries Pavilion at dawn. Ye Zifeng got up early and came to Li Changsheng's door. Just as he was about to knock, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Come in, the door isn't locked."

Ye Zi Feng blinked, then pushed the door open. Li Changsheng looked at the noticeably refreshed Ye Zi Feng and said with satisfaction.

"Have you decided?"

"Hmm."

"Let's begin, then."

He spoke, and Li Changsheng's fingers moved, channeling his spiritual energy as he continuously drew in the air. Less than a minute passed before he completed a full Wind's Legacy Odd Gate Diagram.

Li Changsheng looked at Ye Zifeng cautiously and said, "This map can only be used for an hour. I'll be by your side to protect you. If you can't break free from your inner demons within that hour, I'll forcibly pull you out of this realm. That would mean you're not destined for the Wind Goddess's Odd Gate. I'll find a cultivation method more suitable for you instead. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I certainly won't disappoint my esteemed ancestor." Having said that, Ye Zifeng looked up at the complete Wind's Rear Strange Gate Diagram in the sky. In just an instant, he was drawn into the depths of his own inner demons.

Within the landscape of his inner demons.

Ye Zi Feng wasn't abandoned by his biological father—the father he held in his heart—quite the opposite. His biological father showered him with affection, wanting to give him the entire world. Every time Ye Zi Feng was hurt, his father would rush to protect him, regardless of the cost.

Ye Zi Feng gradually became immersed in this beautiful illusory life, as if all his previous experiences had been a dream, and this life was the reality.

But gradually, Ye Zi Feng also sensed something was amiss. This life was too idyllic, too unreal. The moment he realized it, he found himself facing a trial of the heart. Just as he was about to channel his spiritual power to resist, another version of himself appeared before him, tempting him with sweet words.

"What do you want to do? Everything you could ever want is here. Why would you go out there to face them? They aren't your family."

"I don't care about this," he said calmly. "No matter how wonderful it is, it's still just a fantasy, not real. The outside world, however, is real. Yes, my biological father abandoned me, and I watched helplessly as my adoptive father was brutally murdered by a Soul Scourge. Life in the orphanage wasn't pleasant either."

Ye Zi Feng paused for a moment before continuing, "But I met two older sisters who brought light and warmth into my bleak world, and I still cherish that. Later, I encountered my esteemed mentor, who granted me the power to protect everything. And now, as he said, the past is unchangeable, but the future can be altered. I can't reclaim my miserable past, but I will use my strength to protect everything I have now."

Looking at Ye Zifeng's seemingly relieved expression regarding the past, his inner demons didn't act like other inner demons, going mad and falling into despair before lunging at him for a final struggle.

He simply drifted over to Ye Zifeng, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a pleased smile, "To be honest, I would have been disappointed in you, even as your inner demon, if you had chosen to lose yourself here. I am you, I am a part of you. But since you haven't succumbed to it, you've chosen to return and face reality…"

The Heart Demon spoke, and its body began to slowly fade. In the final moment before disappearing, it said, "Go now. There are people waiting for you outside. Remember to protect them. If they are harmed, I won't let you off either." With those words, the Heart Demon completely vanished from within the Heart Demon Landscape.

Once the mental demons vanished, everything around him began to fade. Ye Zifeng stood where he was, shouting towards the direction they had disappeared: "I will definitely do it."

As the last vestiges of Night Sub-Wind departed from the Illusionary Realm, a voice echoed around him.

"Remember what you said."

Hearing that familiar voice, Ye Zi Feng merely smiled and completely left the inner landscape of his mental demons.

Try searching for the author instead; they might have changed their name!

Inner demons, both visible and unseen.

夜子风缓缓地睁开了眼睛,看到大姐和二姐都在.

A normal person would be overjoyed to see this, because seeing their loved ones the moment you open your eyes after surviving a tribulation would bring immense happiness. But Ye Zifeng couldn't bring himself to feel happy, only saying with a frustrated sigh.

"Are you kidding me? I almost got trapped in the Heart Demon's inner realm just now, barely managing to escape thanks to luck. And you couldn't even bother to come forward and ask if I'm alright?"

"And the eldest and second sisters are still playing Go. I can let them go, but you, sir, are actually sitting there eating sunflower seeds and watching them play? Weren't you saying you were protecting my ranked games?"

The three of them heard Ye Zi Feng's voice and turned their heads, only to find him awake, looking at them with a frustrated expression.

"Huh, Xiao Feng, the moment the tension left your brow, I knew you'd succeeded." Li Changsheng said, forcing a calm tone.

"I believe you can succeed." His eldest sister, Ye Han Yue, said calmly as well, a hint of satisfaction coloring her voice.

"Oh dear, I knew you could do it. Don't argue, I'm about to win these next few games anyway. Besides, the Master is right here; even if you fail, they'll pull you back. It's alright, it's alright." Second Sister Ye Hanshui waved her hand dismissively, and if one were to notice her other hand, they'd see it had just subtly moved a chess piece.

"Snap!" Night Snow happily stood up and exclaimed, "Big Sis, I won! Finally, I don't have to eat your cooking anymore. Let's go, let's eat at a restaurant for lunch!"

"Heh," the three of them looked at the exuberantly cheerful Ye Hanxue, letting out a scornful sound, choosing to remain silent rather than point out the obvious.

Night Submerged Wind looked at this ridiculous scene, a silent scream echoing in his mind: "I'm tired. Let the world end. I just want to go home."

…………

The master and his apprentices arrived at a high-end restaurant within the city of Tiandou.

"This is a restaurant opened by the Qibao Liuli Sect in Tiantu City," Ye Hansheng happily explained to the others. "It's the best restaurant in the entire city. I came here once before, and the food was incredible." With that, he led the rest of the group inside.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, Ye Hanxue chose the most expensive private room. Once they were seated, Ye Hanxue spoke loudly, saying:

"掌柜的把你们这最好的酒菜上一份,另外再打包一份我们回家吃."

Li Changsheng watched this brazen display and said to Ye Hanxue, "Be a little more careful, I don't have much money. What will you do if I can't pay the bill later?"

Yeh Hanxue and Yeh Hanmei heard Li Changsheng's words and both turned to look at their third brother, Yeh Zifeng, who was gazing up at the ceiling.

Seeing this, Ye Zifeng said with a sorrowful heart, "Heaven, earth, who will take in this good-for-nothing second sister of mine? She doesn't invite me to enjoy lavish meals when she has plenty, but now she seeks me out when she needs money. Even if I am the one managing the finances, I can't handle being treated like this! If not for the wealth I've accumulated over the years, I'd have to sell myself into servitude."

Having finished thinking, I looked down at my second sister, wanting to refuse and teach her a lesson. But when I saw a packet of powder suddenly appear in her hand, I immediately changed my attitude and said:

"Little money, little money. My younger brother has been managing finances for many years and accumulated quite a fortune. I'll pay for this, I'll pay for it. Just put down the powder in your hand first."

Nightshade Snow saw that the young one was so understanding, and slowly put away the powder.
