Chapter 1415 - 1415 1401 Regret

Chapter 1415: Chapter 1401: Regret Chapter 1415: Chapter 1401: Regret The people of the Thirty-Six Isles got up early, not wanting to delay any longer, fearing that they would be caught up by the Demon Clan following them. If they were caught, spending a few more days could mean the end for everyone in the realms of the immortals and demons.

During breakfast, Ye Chen changed into a set of white clothes which were quite eye-catching, because of what Guo Yuyun had said. He also felt it was appropriate to change into something presentable. Even though wearing an emperor’s robe wouldn’t make him look like a crown prince, at least he needed to dress in a way befitting his current status. He was now the leader of these people, and without some personal charm, how could he command their respect?

Yang Tao’er was quite taken aback, and said, “With this outfit, you do look pretty handsome.”

“Heh, then you haven’t been paying attention before. I’ve always been handsome,” Ye Chen said proudly.

Guo Yuyun giggled on the side, not expecting him to really change his clothes after their conversation last night. She found it quite surprising.

“So, do I look like their leader now?”

“With that white outfit, you look even more like a pretty boy.”

Ye Chen glared at her and retorted, “Can’t you say something nice? Calling me a pretty boy—I’ve never lived off women,” he said with conviction.

“Really? I somehow get the feeling that you do live off women.”

“Nonsense.”

They made their way straight down to the first floor where Ouyang Yue had already prepared the food, and the Black Demonic Spirit was there too, but his Ah Ya was nowhere to be seen.

Yang Tao’er kept talking nonsense, “If Qing’er hadn’t come to beg me, I wouldn’t have bothered looking for you. What do I care if you live or die? And yet you say you don’t rely on women.”

Guo Yuyun looked over and asked, “My sister went to find you?”

Yang Tao’er explained, “The last time they left Dragonfly Mountain, my father indeed had no other choice, but he told your sister that he would think of a way. After your sister learned about what happened to him in the Thirty-Six Isles, and so much time had passed, she came looking for us, or we still wouldn’t know what had happened to him.”

“So that’s what happened,” Guo Yuyun muttered to herself.

Yang Tao’er looked at her and said, “You don’t think I came all the way here because I like this guy, do you?”

Guo Yuyun shook her head.

Ye Chen asked, “Really? Ready to confess to me so soon?”

Guo Yuyun pinched him fiercely.

“I was just kidding.”

Yang Tao’er snorted coldly and said, “You’re using me as the butt of your joke? Be careful, you’re still in the palm of my hand.”

Of course, Guo Yuyun had such suspicions—it’s not surprising, considering the way Ye Chen flirts around, his strong martial arts, and his youth and promise.

From afar, Ouyang Yue could hear Ye Chen and Yang Tao’er bickering and as they approached, she said, “Yun’er, you should really keep a tighter leash on this one of yours.”

“No worries, let him be arrogant for a few more days. After this period, I’ll plan something,” Guo Yuyun said, obviously.

The Black Demonic Spirit seemed very hungry, not standing on ceremony at all. He didn’t wait for them to come over before he started eating.

Ye Chen really thought he was seeing things. He hadn’t seen him for the past couple of days and thought he had stayed on Sacred Spirit Island, not coming out. He laughed and said, “Yo, what gust of wind blew you out here? Weren’t you staying in to keep your wife company? She must have kicked you out, right?”

During the time Ye Chen and Guo Yuyun were away, the Black Demonic Spirit and Ah Ya had progressed at breakneck speed, getting married after a single drinking session, which Ye Chen and the others hadn’t managed to attend in time.

Ouyang Yue laughed out loud.

The Black Demonic Spirit lifted his head, looking as if he’d been caught.

Hearing Ouyang Yue laugh, Ye Chen knew that what he said was probably close to the truth and went on, “You’ve probably been up to no good again, so no one lets you in the door, right?”

“Sooner or later, you’re going to end up just like me,” the Black Demonic Spirit retorted angrily, casting a glance at Guo Yuyun as he spoke.

“Hey, tell me what happened, I’ll give you some advice,” Ye Chen offered.

“You’d better mind your own business,” the Black Demonic Spirit said.

Ye Chen changed the subject as he was genuinely getting hungry. Picking up his chopsticks, he asked, “I hope there’s no bad news, right?” It seemed they were all a bit edgy.

“One piece of good news and one piece of bad news, which one do you want to hear first?” Ouyang Yue asked.

“There’s bad news?”

“The bad news was brought by the Black Demonic Spirit who traveled overnight,” Ouyang Yue said.

“No wonder he looks as hungry as a wolf,” Ye Chen noticed he was not just hungry, but also very tired.

“I didn’t rest at all last night,” mumbled the Black Demonic Spirit while gnawing on a roasted chicken leg.

“I thought you hadn’t left Sacred Spirit Island,” Ye Chen remarked.

“He’s dying to leave, claims there’s no freedom on Sacred Spirit Island,” Ouyang Yue chimed in.

“Just married for a month and already no freedom?” Ye Chen inquired curiously.

“You see, girl, there’s a difference between before marriage and after,” the Black Demonic Spirit murmured.

“Of course, there’s a difference. Before marriage she is a girl, after marriage she’s a woman; how could it be the same!” Ye Chen said with a playful laugh.

“That’s not what I mean, I’m talking about the methods changing,” the Black Demonic Spirit clarified.

Ye Chen, surprised, asked, “Ah Ya has tactics for you too? Can’t be, she seems quite the lady.”

“That’s just for show, there are plenty of tricks up her sleeve.”

“I really haven’t noticed that,” Ye Chen said, shaking his head. “It must be your own fault, though.”

“Where would that be? I just looked at someone else a little longer while we were out, and I wasn’t even allowed that. If that’s not overstepping, I don’t know what is.”

“You were drooling when you were looking at them, weren’t you?”

Yang Tao’er laughed along as well.

“I shouldn’t have listened to you, to actually sign a pledge. I regret it now, only to realize a truth, one wrong step leads to another,” the Black Demonic Spirit lamented.

“What do you mean listened to me? I only gave you a suggestion. You were like in a trance, insisting on staying with her no matter what, even afraid that the Red Demonic Spirit would snatch her away. Now you blame me, you’re really something else.”

“Freedom is still the best,” the Black Demonic Spirit whispered very softly, glancing at Guo Yuyun.

Guo Yuyun asked Ouyang Yue, “What’s the good news? And the bad news?”

“The bad news is that the Evil Spirit didn’t show up. The good news is that Lou Xuanhai is on his way with a group of people who will join us to rescue the people from the Celestial Demon Domain,” the Black Demonic Spirit replied.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen shifted his focus and asked, “The Evil Spirit didn’t appear?”

The Black Demonic Spirit, who had spent the whole night coming back to report exactly this, said, “Yes, the Evil Spirit that appeared in the great battle with the Celestial Demon Domain somehow didn’t show up in the valley surrounding it.”

Ouyang Yue, looking at Ye Chen with uncertainty, speculated, “Could this be a trap?”

“Possibly, but what surprises me is, if the Evil Spirit were in the valley, why didn’t it coordinate with Longhun? Using the power of the Evil Spirit and the Moon Beast, they could have broken through the Bagua Array. We won’t be there until tomorrow, they could send the Evil Spirit to try, perhaps with the combined forces of the two creatures and the power of the Sacred Spirit Stone, they could break the array. It doesn’t make sense to wait for us to get there before using the Evil Spirit,” the Black Demonic Spirit mused.

Ouyang Yue, still puzzled, followed up, “Are you suggesting that the Evil Spirit might not actually be in the valley?”

“It’s possible. This is what Li Mo, the Red Demonic Spirit, and I speculate, but whether it’s true or not, we still don’t know,” the Black Demonic Spirit admitted.

Listening in, Guo Yuyun interjected, “Impossible, they have control over the Evil Spirit. Why wouldn’t they bring it with them? It makes no sense.”

“No, they don’t have full control over the Evil Spirit,” Ouyang Yue retorted, shaking her head.

Not understanding, Guo Yuyun asked, “What do you mean?”

“Longhun could merge with the Moon Beast because of his strong martial arts, and he had the assistance of the Sacred Spirit Stone, making controlling the Moon Beast easy. But Baili He does not hold such martial arts prowess nor does he have such sacred objects to help, so he could only semi-control it. Remember when Ye Chen used the Sacred Spirit Stone against Qiandu Xiang? To control the Moon Beast, Qiandu Xiang paid a hefty price, absorbing dark energy into his own body, and that was only a temporary control.”

“You say he can’t control it, so how could they bring the Evil Spirit to fight the Celestial Demon Domain?”

“They only have semi-control, not full control. Something unexpected could happen, and the Evil Spirit won’t just obediently let them have control,” Ouyang Yue explained.

“That’s what Li Mo and I think too, something must have happened. It doesn’t make sense not to use the Evil Spirit. But where it is right now, we don’t know. It might appear later, which is also uncertain. After all, we won’t get there until tomorrow. If the Evil Spirit is there by then, what will we do? Anyway, you all know Longhun loves to play tricks; few people can fathom his heart,” the Black Demonic Spirit mumbled again.

“We must get a clear understanding of the surroundings,” Ouyang Yue insisted, her concern revealing that she feared this could be a trap.

“Don’t fret, Li Mo will find a way to scout the area thoroughly, even if you didn’t say anything,” comforted the Black Demonic Spirit, shaking his head. “Unfortunately, the forest over there is indeed very dense; even a towering Evil Spirit could easily hide.”

“You said Lou Xuanhai and his people have arrived?” Ye Chen inquired.

“Yes, after learning about the catastrophic defeat of the Celestial Demon Domain, they organized a group of about five hundred people who are coming over to help. We learned of this from Su Zhanze’s letter,” the Black Demonic Spirit informed.

Ye Chen quickly asserted, “Then make sure Li Mo contacts them in time. We will be there as soon as we can tomorrow, and we’ll coordinate with them then.”

“Hmm, they only have five hundred, and not many experts among them. Hoping to rescue anyone with just five hundred is impossible, and they might even get trapped in the encirclement,” Ouyang Yue commented.

“Who can be sure of it, though? I just fear that in their urgency, they will fall for Longhun’s deceptions. In the end, not only would they fail to rescue anyone, but they’d also get their own people trapped in the encirclement,” she added with a note of caution.
