Chapter 67
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, a female official from the Demon Realm, dressed in a bright yellow dress, rudely knocked on their door.
"Are you looking for death?" Ye Qingchuan shouted angrily, then quickly looked at Ye Zhenzhen beside him, worried that she would be woken up after only falling asleep.
"Your Majesty, the Netherworld Clan has rebelled with a large number of demon soldiers because you killed their elder! They have already crossed the Demon Gorge, attempting to breach the Demon Venerable's Sacred Palace, assassinate you, and install the Ninth Prince on the throne. You must go and see for yourself, or it will be too late!" the female official shouted at the door.
The Demon Gorge is a protective canyon in front of the Demon Venerable's Sacred Palace. Hot lava flows at its bottom, and steep cliffs line both sides, making it difficult for a normal army to break through. However, because Ye Qingchuan's foundation in the Demon Realm is not stable, and because he has recently been spending his days with female cultivators from the Cultivation World, he has aroused the dissatisfaction of many Devil Race. Taking advantage of this, the Netherworld Clan, using the name of the timid and easily manipulated Ninth Prince, gathered a large force. This mighty group managed to break through the Demon Gorge and march all the way to the entrance of the Demon Venerable's Sacred Palace, intending to eliminate Ye Qingchuan and install a new Demon Venerable.
Seeing that Ye Zhenzhen was still sleeping soundly, Ye Qingchuan placed a protective Restrictive Formation around the bed to ensure that no one could enter or leave, and instructed the female official in yellow to keep a close eye on Ye Zhenzhen.
For so many days, he had been inseparable from her, not even for a single second. Now, he was actually leaving her to fight alone. He kissed her lips with infinite longing before reluctantly leaving.
"Wait for me to come back," he said tenderly.
However, as soon as Ye Qingchuan disappeared from her sight, Ye Zhenzhen suddenly opened her eyes.
"It's time to leave," the thought involuntarily popped into her mind.
Do you like a pastry kiss?
Anyway, as a writer specializing in rustic dogs, I absolutely adore them, hahaha!
Chapter 67
================
Deep down, Ye Zhenzhen is rebellious.
In her previous world, her parents always forced her to study hard and had high expectations of her. She often liked to deliberately go against them, thinking only of escaping them when she grew up.
In the world after Transmigration into a Book, she grew up nurtured by the abundant love of Ye Ruheng and his wife, always doing things according to her own preferences and desires, and getting used to a free and unrestrained life.
During the time Ye Qingchuan abducted her to the Demon Realm, although he treated her with utmost care and indulgence, his ever-present gaze suffocated her, and the feeling of being trapped made her very uncomfortable. It was as if she had a dream, a dream in which she engaged in a somewhat morbid romance with someone, pretending to be friendly.
In the original book, Ye Qingyao was imprisoned by Ye Qingchuan, which triggered the Immortal-Demon War and demons, leading to her suicide. Although everything seems to have changed now— Immortal Venerable Shen and His Son have lost power, and the Cloudsky Sect has escaped destruction— Ye Qingchuan has become the Demon Venerable, and she is now the one imprisoned. Will she suffer the same fate as Ye Qingyao?
The shadow of death hangs like a sword over one's head, ready to fall at any moment. Even if life in the Demon Realm brings joy and gradually growing, irreplaceable emotions, to avoid becoming trapped in this dream and falling into an abyss of no return, it's time to wake up from this dream!
She sat up, ready to put her escape plan into action.
Seeing that she had woken up, the maid in yellow approached her solicitously and handed her a beautiful bouquet of Daffodil. "Madam, this bouquet was specially prepared for you by His Majesty."
"Flowers?" Ye Zhenzhen accepted the Daffodil with surprise. Ye Qingchuan's Demon Venerable's Sacred Palace had been broken into, how could he still have the leisure to give her flowers?
"His Majesty said that your favorite color is yellow, so he ordered you to prepare Daffodil for you," the maid in yellow quickly explained, noticing her confusion.
"It smells so good." She smelled the flowers while glancing at the maid in yellow.
She is clearly a stunningly beautiful woman with striking and noble features, and an enviable bust and waist, yet she wears a pale yellow outfit that is too fresh and girlish, which seems out of place.
The woman in yellow was also stealing glances at her, her eyes filled with undisguised hostility, which felt somewhat familiar. Could she be the woman in yellow from the Magic Beast Garden who had tried to tear her to pieces from afar?
Could this person be in love with Ye Qingchuan and wants to become the Demon Venerable's Consort, thus seeing her as an obstacle and wanting to eliminate her as soon as possible? A woman's intuition suddenly made her wary. The flowers were suspicious; could they be poisoned?
She quickly tossed the flowers aside.
"How can I escape the Demon Realm? Would you be willing to show me the way?" she tentatively asked the maid in yellow.
"His Majesty instructed you to wait here until he returns. I am responsible for looking after you." The maid in yellow did not immediately agree to her request. "If you leave, he will surely punish me."
"But I've stayed here too long and want to go home. There are many women in the Demon Realm, and the Lord's interest in me is just temporary. He'll soon forget me after I leave and look for someone new to replace me, like a beautiful woman like you." She tried her best to persuade her, deliberately striking a chord with the yellow-clad maid. Since the yellow-clad maid liked Ye Qingchuan, letting her leave would save her the trouble of getting rid of her—wouldn't that be a win-win situation?
"Go home?" the yellow-clad maid said sourly. "His Majesty specially placed a protective Restrictive Formation around you before he left. I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to break through the Restrictive Formation, let alone talk about leaving."
This woman definitely had other ideas about Ye Qingchuan.
"Then you underestimate me." Ye Zhenzhen threw out a few Restriction-Breaking Talisman that Ye Qingchuan had given her. A golden light flashed, and she indeed walked out of the Restrictive Formation.
The maid in yellow smiled. "I was afraid you wouldn't come out, so I couldn't get in. Now the opportunity has arrived." "Go, and never come back."
"Thank you," Ye Zhenzhen said before running out.
Previously, she had deliberately lured Ye Qingchuan to take her to the Human Realm, thus figuring out the route from the Demon Realm to the Human Realm. She also knew the route from the Human Realm Cultivation World realm. If she wanted to go home, she only needed to go to the Human Realm first and then travel back to the Cultivation World. Now she was heading straight for the Abyss of Darkness, preparing to cross its sky to reach the Human Realm.
