As the saying goes, there’s no love or hate without reason.
Ye Chenyan and Yue Xing’er were very curious,
unable to understand why Pei Chuxia was so good to them.
It made no sense at all!
Though Pei Chuxia’s strength was modest—only early Demon King realm—
her exceptionally sharp mind had long made her the second most powerful figure in Nirvana State,
the head of the think tank,
a true person just beneath the top, commanding tens of thousands.
Her authority far exceeded Ye Chenyan’s pri.
Under these circumstances,
Ye Chenyan and Yue Xing’er really couldn’t understand what they had done to deserve her kindness.
After much thought,
Ye Chenyan mustered courage and asked, “We’ve always wanted to ask: why have you been so good to us?”
Pei Chuxia was silent for a long ti,
then slowly said, “Perhaps it’s love for the house and its people.”
Hearing this, Ye Chenyan and Yue Xing’er suddenly recalled the first ti they t Pei Chuxia.
She had called them “grandpa and grandma,”
and asked where Ye Yu was.
At that ti, they thought Pei Chuxia had mistaken them,
because they never had a son nad Ye Yu.
But Pei Chuxia insisted she hadn’t been mistaken—it was them.
Even knowing Ye Yu didn’t exist,
she treated them kindly regardless.
Now even Ye Chenyan and Yue Xing’er were curious about who Ye Yu truly was.
But when asked this question,
Pei Chuxia only smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Later, she didn’t stay long in the blessed land cave.
Upon leaving, she instinctively looked to the sky.
For months, whenever alone, Pei Chuxia did this.
The Demon Realm’s sky might not show the Heavenly Realm,
but her husband was surely above.
“Give so more ti.
Soon, I’ll get that thing and find you in the Heavenly Realm.”
The next mont,
two figures suddenly appeared.
They knelt on one knee respectfully and said, “Lady Pei, the Demon Lord says urgent matters require your return. Please co with us quickly.”
Pei Chuxia withdrew her gaze, expression heavy.
Urgent matters?
Nirvana State was developing steadily; what could be urgent?
Though puzzled, Pei Chuxia chose to return with the two demons to the city lord’s mansion.
...
Among the mountains,
a trendous explosion suddenly rang out.
The entire mountain cracked open a huge fissure.
Amid thick smoke,
Ye Yu walked out, looking at the Boundary Pearl still dim and lifeless, the nebula at its center nowhere to be seen.
His expression darkened.
After days of searching,
he had found no sign of Pei Chuxia.
So ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) he concluded she had definitely gone to the Heavenly Realm.
After all, at the end of the dream, he had left her the Remnant Stone,
implying she was an immortal from the Heavenly Realm.
Pei Chuxia was clever—there was no way she wouldn’t understand.
Moreover, even Bai Xichu, Xin Wan’en, and Ran Jingjing had found ways to the Heavenly Realm.
She surely had no difficulty.
If that was so,
Ye Yu’s imdiate task was to leave the Demon Realm and head for the Monster Realm or the mortal world.
Of course, the premise was to repair the Boundary Pearl.
After careful observation,
Ye Yu guessed the traversal this ti had drained the Boundary Pearl’s energy, causing it to dim.
Therefore, he ca to this mountain to extract immortal stone energy to replenish it,
hoping to restore the Boundary Pearl’s power.
But this triggered an explosion so powerful the entire mountain was affected.
There was good news and bad news.
Good news: as an ancient underworld artifact, the Boundary Pearl remained intact and unbroken.
Bad news: the thod of infusing energy seed unworkable.
Looks like he would have to find soone to repair it properly!
Ye Yu rubbed his face.
Honestly, he hadn’t initially sought a demon craftsman to repair the Boundary Pearl
because of the shadow Feng Yingzhi’s case left on him,
making him very wary.
If he got soone else to repair it, more unpredictable deviations might occur.
That would be a real headache.
But now, it seed he had no other choice.
Sighing, Ye Yu snapped his fingers.
From the shadows erged a thin demon clad in black robes.
This demon was called Shichui—despite the tough na, he was a true shadow demon.
A swordsman who liked unorthodox thods.
At the peak Demon Lord realm,
he was already under Ye Yu’s control through the Divine Control Heart Technique.
Ye Yu had already considered this before.
His immortal power was a liability; it was safer to let demons handle this.
Thus,
Ye Yu had controlled Shichui days ago and ordered him to bring the best demon craftsman for repairing demon immortal artifacts.
This decision was, together with the energy infusion, a two-pronged approach.
Since the second approach had failed,
naturally he turned to Shichui.
“How’s the task I assigned?”
“Report, Master: it is completed.
I have placed him in a forbidden place; whenever you need, you can bring him here.”
Shichui’s voice was eerie.
Perhaps this was typical of shadow demons,
born assassins.
Ye Yu waved his hand, and Shichui’s figure vanished into the shadows.
When he reappeared, he carried a short old man.
“Master, this is the grandmaster I found—Yao Chen’an,
revered in the Demon Realm as a divine craftsman.”
Hearing this,
Ye Yu sized up the old man, who looked unremarkable.
His clothes and hair were much tidier compared to Feng Yingzhi.
Divine craftsman, huh? Is he really that good?
Under Ye Yu’s gaze,
Yao Chen’an trembled all over.
He had once been proud and arrogant,
boasting wherever he went due to his outstanding skills.
But eting Shichui
and enduring days of tornt had completely shattered his pride,
truly revealing the terror of shadow demons.
Now, he appeared ek and timid.
“Dare to ask what instructions the Demon King has,
I will devote myself fully, without refusal.”
Ye Yu raised an eyebrow, surprised by his cooperation.
He intended to use the Divine Control Heart Technique again,
but seeing the few immortal stones left in his storage ring,
he ultimately abandoned the plan.
“Repair it well, and there will be rewards.
If it’s damaged, you die!”
Ye Yu tossed the Boundary Pearl to Yao Chen’an,
signaled Shichui to watch carefully, and told him not to make any mistakes.
Shichui understood imdiately and left with Yao Chen’an.
Watching them leave,
Ye Yu looked toward Nirvana State.
