Chapter 1130 Is this still the Lady Yan Ji she knows?
Night Song's gaze swept back and forth between the lifeless shell of the Fire Spirit Priest on the ground and the still struggling orange-red divine soul flame in Night Owl's hand, and the taut string in his heart finally relaxed.
Kyoto and Night City are far apart. Although Yan Ji, a Soul Emperor Realm expert, was leading the way, he was still afraid that they would not make it in time. After all, he had fought with the Water Spirit Priest and knew the strength of the Five Elements Priest.
Unexpectedly, Old Deng actually dealt with the Fire Spirit Priest?
"call......"
Ye Ge breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, it seems you're all alright."
Xia Xiyao immediately puffed out her chest, a bright smile blooming on her face, with a hint of smugness: "Of course! With Xue'er and me here, what could possibly happen!"
"I'm afraid you'll be ambushed by him without knowing his abilities."
Ye Ge wasn't worried about Gao Shenxue and Xia Xiyao.
With their combined strength, even if they faced the Fire Spirit Priest, they would have no problem protecting themselves.
However, the others were almost powerless against the Fire Spirit Priest...
At this moment, Yu Li stumbled twice and almost fell.
Ququ, who was beside her, quickly helped her up and asked gently with concern, "Are you alright?"
"Hmm...it's nothing." Yu Li's face was a little pale, and her voice was full of fatigue: "It's just that I used up too much energy. I'll be fine after resting for a while."
Night Song's gaze then turned to Night Owl, and he asked in confusion, "By the way, Old Deng, why did you come out?"
"You brat! How dare you call your father like that in front of your daughters-in-law? You have no manners!" Night Owl feigned anger, stretching out his arm to skillfully hook around Night Song's neck, while his other hand unceremoniously pinched and squeezed his face.
Upon hearing the words "daughters-in-law," several girls' cheeks instantly flushed red, after all, these words came from Night Owl, the father of Night Song... However, some were already used to it, such as Gao Shenxue, who remained calm.
Ye Ge accepted Ye Xiao's kneading with a blank expression and asked, "Where's Grandpa?"
“Your grandfather is still in seclusion inside cultivating his spiritual practice. I found it too stuffy inside, so I came out for a walk.”
Night Owl released Night Song, his gaze immediately falling on the elegant Flame Princess standing to the side. With a look of inquiry, he asked curiously, "And who is this...?"
Although he couldn't see through Yan Ji's true form, he could sense the powerful and domineering magical energy fluctuations emanating from her!
Such powerful magic is something even the Night Owl has rarely seen!
After a slight hesitation, Yan Ji's magic flowed around her, and she instantly shed her disguise, revealing her true form.
She wore a long red dress, had long black and red hair, and exuded a domineering aura. Her body was surrounded by demonic energy with lava-like special effects.
"Demon, Flame Princess." Her self-introduction was concise and calm, yet carried a subtle tension. Facing Night Song's father, this Demon Lord, who had roamed the Demon Realm for the first time in his life, felt a kind of... awkwardness, as if he were "meeting the parents." She paused, then added somewhat stiffly, "...Hello."
As the Demon Lord, this was the first time in her life that she had said "hello," and she felt a little stiff about it.
"Lady Yan Ji??" Yao Yue blinked in surprise, completely unprepared to encounter her former superior in this situation. This was the first time she had seen Yan Ji since becoming a "captive" of the Ye family, and she never expected it to be in this way!
Xia Xiyao, Nangong Qiuyue, Jiang Xiaoming, and the others were even more shocked, their mouths slightly agape.
Xia Xiyao fell asleep the night before.
They could never have imagined that Yege and Yanji would end up together!
"Flame Princess??" Night Owl gasped.
hiss......!
Isn't that one of the four infamous Demon Lords of the Demon Clan?!
"Holy crap..." Night Owl immediately pulled Night Song back to his side, gritting his teeth and lowering his voice to a volume only the two of them could hear: "You little brat, you've got some nerve, you've gone mad! You've been flirting with our Great Qin Empress, the Palace Mistress of Moon Condensation Palace, the Dragon Princess, and even kept succubi and the fallen Silver Elf princess as your maids... Now you even dare to flirt with one of the four Demon Lords of the Demon Clan?? Do you really want to unify all races through marriage alliances??"
Ye Ge glanced at him helplessly and said softly, "Would you believe me if I said I'm the one who gets pushed around most of the time?"
Night Owl: "...You're just bragging."
"..."
"Ahem..." Night Owl cleared his throat, turned to Flame Princess, and put on the kind smile of a "future father-in-law" again. "Well, Your Highness Flame Princess, hello. I am Night Owl, Little Night's father."
His gaze lingered on Yan Ji for a moment, as if he remembered something. His eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of playful inquiry in them: "Speaking of which, I seem to remember that you once brought your demon generals to our Night City, and... um, 'visited' our Night family? Isn't that right?"
Yan Ji's heart tightened, a rare sense of tension rising within her. She subconsciously straightened her back slightly and explained, "Back then, Ye Ge and I were enemies... so..."
Yao Yue looked at Yan Ji with a surprised expression.
Is this still the Flame Demon Lord she knows?
The dignified Lady Yan Ji, when facing Lady Ye Ge's father, actually revealed a hint of explanation, and even a trace of barely perceptible... unease?
As expected, even Lady Flame has fallen for Lady Night Song's charm and become a love-struck little girl?
But... what exactly did Lord Night Song do to Lady Flame?
How exactly did they... turn Lady Flame from an enemy into her lover?
"Hehehe, Your Highness Demon Lord, don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to bring up the past. Now that you're Xiao Ye's girlfriend, we're family. The past doesn't matter, hahaha..." Night Owl laughed heartily, easing the awkward atmosphere. Then, as if to confirm, he added with a hint of teasing, "Uh... um, Flame Demon Lord, you're... right, you should be Xiao Ye's girlfriend now, right?"
Yan Ji's cheeks instantly flushed crimson. Being questioned so directly in front of everyone made this demon lord, who was known for her cold and domineering nature, feel unprecedentedly embarrassed.
"...Yes." She lowered her eyes slightly, her voice barely louder than a mosquito's buzz, and softly replied.
Gao Shenxue and Long Ying already knew, so they appeared relatively calm. However, the other girls and Jiang Xiaoming were deeply shaken when they heard the Demon Lord Yan Ji say this clear answer herself. Surprise, astonishment, disbelief... a complex mix of emotions clung to their faces.
"Wow!" Ye Mengyu excitedly tugged at Ye Qingxin's sleeve, her voice low but unable to hide her excitement: "Sister Qingxin! Sister Qingxin! Did you hear that! We'll have a demon lord from the demon race as our sister-in-law from now on! Isn't that so cool!"
Ye Qingxin: "..."
Night Owl's gaze fell on Flame Princess again. This time, his eyes were exceptionally focused, as if piercing through her demon lord exterior to examine something deeper. His gaze carried a kind of insight and an increasingly intense...strangeness.
"Flame Demon Lord, were you... born and raised in the Demon Realm?" Night Owl suddenly asked.
Yan Ji was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding why Ye Xiao would ask such a question, but still answered, "Of course."
"Is that so..." Night Owl mused.
A demon, yet he possesses the inherited star power of the Tail Constellation of the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions.
This is a power that can only be inherited by people born in the Eastern Continent.
Heh... interesting...
But that's not something he should be asking anymore.
