"Really"
"certainly."
Zheng Xiyao said decisively. At this moment, Youmei was half convinced.
"Why are you helping me?" Youmei wondered, "Aren't you a noble woman?"
"What? Who is his woman?" Zheng Xiyao's eyes flashed with slight surprise and she denied it.
"But the only person who stays by your side day and night is you."
"You misunderstood. He was just afraid that I would run away, so he always kept me with him."
"Why?"
"This is a long story." Zheng Xiyao hesitated, then put her arm around Meimei's shoulders: "But I will help you this time. If you need it in the future, you will understand."
Only then did Youmei feel relieved.
"What do you want me to do for you?"
"I want to know how Li Yuan became a demon and how he became a demon king."
"This..." Youmei hesitated.
Seeing this, Zheng Xiyao felt that there must be a reason. Maybe knowing this reason, she could find a way to return everything to its original state.
"I think Demon Lord doesn't want his privacy to be known to others. If I accidentally let it slip..." Zheng Xiyao murmured to herself.
"Okay, it's actually nothing." Upon seeing this, Youmei put down the food box, picked up the teacup on the table, poured herself a cup, and then took a swig.
"Actually, when I met the Demon Lord in the Demon Realm, he was just a mortal with demonic aura."
how come? At that time, she clearly saw that Li Yuan had indeed entered the Fushengmen where the demon had left.
What happened in between?
"At that time, I was only a demon cultivator at the Yuan Dan stage. I was seriously injured while fighting for territory with other demon cultivators. I lay dying alone in an abandoned mass grave in the demon realm, waiting for death. At this time."
Mass graves.
In her confusion, Mei Mei saw other people of her kind approaching her slowly, their eyes filled with greed and murderous intent. She knew clearly that she would be killed and eaten by people of her own race. After all, in the demon clan, eating the same kind of people would gain the same kind of abilities. This kind of thing is normal in the Demon Realm.
It's just that Youmei is unwilling to accept that she has been struggling in the demon clan until now, and finally ended up like this.
She closed her eyes in despair when her compatriots raised their swords, but the pain did not appear. When she opened her eyes again, a young man holding a wooden sword actually killed two Yuan Dan monks.
Youmei looked at the wooden sword stained red with blood, and was surprised. She also saw that the young man had no expression on his face from beginning to end. When he turned to look at her, Youmei felt that it was the most terrifying moment in her life.
Because she couldn't see anything in the young man's eyes, as if she was just a tiny speck of dust that would disappear with just a flick of her finger, just to see if he was willing. Youmei didn't dare to move, waiting for fate's judgment.
In the end, the young man just put away his sword, turned around and left indifferently.
At this time, Youmei breathed a sigh of relief.
Later, after she recovered from her injuries, she prepared to take back her own territory. She happened to see the black boss who was trying to steal her territory besieging someone.
She hid in the dark and discovered that the man was the young man who saved her back then.
However, although the young man at this time suffered a lot of injuries, his face was still emotionless. Moreover, the spells he used were not the spells from the immortal sect or the demon clan, but more like a close combat technique in the human world.
Youmei was surprised, when did human martial arts become able to fight on par with the demon cultivators in the Yuan Dan stage?
In the end, the young man actually defeated three Yuan Dan stage demon cultivators, although he himself was seriously injured.
"Come out." The young man said coldly and looked in the direction of Enchantment.
Youmei knew she had been discovered, so she had no choice but to step forward. To be honest, it would be easy for me to kill the young man at this moment. After all, this man had just gone through a round of battle and was already exhausted.
"It's you." The young man obviously recognized her.
"We meet again." Youmei smiled and bowed her hands, "My name is Youmei. And you."
The young man looked her up and down but said nothing.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything. After all, it was you who saved me in the first place. I'm not the kind of ungrateful person." Youmei explained.
"Li Yuan."
The young man said two words lightly.
Only then did Youmei know the name of her benefactor.
Seeing that the young man had lowered his guard, Youmei boldly asked him: "Why did you come to the Demon Realm? This is not the place you should be."
Li Yuan frowned and asked doubtfully, "Why do you all say that? Then where do you think I should go?"
"Who else?" You Mei wondered.
"Many people." The young man looked at Meimei in confusion.
"They are right, you are not a demon cultivator. You will be killed sooner or later in the demon realm."
"Isn't it true that strength is respected here?"
"But you..." Youmei looked at the young man's injured body.
Li Yuan knew what the woman meant and said softly: "I have no place to go."
His words were full of loneliness and sadness, as if he had been abandoned by the world.
"Besides, I have this." He clenched his fist lightly, and the demonic energy around him surged. The strange thing was that almost all the demonic energy around the demonic realm poured into his body.
Youmei felt that the demonic energy in her body was also dissipating, and was gradually sucked away by Li Yuan.
"Wait, stop." Ye Mei shouted.
The young man stopped, and the surroundings returned to calm, as if nothing had happened just now.
"What's wrong with you?"
"That's it." Li Yuan used magic to pull out a shining white fragment from his chest. This fragment was as bright and clean as jade, but it was surrounded by demonic energy.
And this kind of power is so powerful that even after just looking at it for a few times, her cultivation is suppressed, like a natural surrender.
Only then did she realize that the young man in front of her was not as simple as he seemed. His origin must not be simple.
In order to stay in the demon clan for a long time, Youmei and Li Yuan formed an alliance.
Later, Li Yuan became the Demon Lord by relying on his own strength.
"You mean, the fragment on Li Yuan's body was the reason why he eventually became a demon?" Zheng Xiyao concluded.
Youmei nodded: "It should be like this, otherwise with the character of the Demon Lord, he would not be like this now."
Hearing this, Zheng Xiyao nodded in agreement. Li Yuan's character would not have fallen to such an extent.
"Why are you here?" A familiar voice appeared from behind the two of them.
Zheng Xiyao and Youmei saw the tidied Li Yuan appear. The man changed into a white robe and a dark blue robe, making him appear calm and easy-going. The domineering spirit without the Demon Lord.
Li Yuan stepped forward and pulled Zheng Xiyao up and hid him behind him. This action instantly stunned Zheng Xiyao and Youmei. Zheng Xiyao reacted and explained: "Li Yuan, me and Youmei were chatting, but she didn't do anything."
Li Yuan glanced at Youmei. The woman lowered her head and looked slightly pale.
He let go of Zheng Xiyao: "What are you talking about?"
Zheng Xiyao:......
"We are talking about Your Majesty's favorite food." Youmei restrained her emotions and happily pushed the food box to Li Yuan: "This is the freshest osmanthus that I specially ordered people to pick this morning. I put wild honey in it and made it first. Please try the sweet-scented osmanthus cake."
The woman diligently took out a piece of cake and fed it to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan blocked it with his left hand and said in disgust: "I don't like this."
"Ah?" But it wasn't Li Yuan who sent a box of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes today.
"Give it to her." Li Yuan pointed at Zheng Xiyao and said.
Zheng Xiyao was shocked, why was she destined to take the blame today?
