After listening to Ye Yun's description, Hong Ling felt her heart flutter from the bottom of her heart.
If it weren't for a woman's reserve and the dignity she had maintained as the empress of the demon race all these years, she would have likely rushed forward to confess her love to Ye Yun.
At least for now, she appeared outwardly calm. After nodding gratefully, she said to Ye Yun,
"Yes, Young Master Ye, I will definitely cultivate well and strive to ascend to the Heavenly Realm to find you as soon as possible!"
Originally, she felt that it was impossible for her and Ye Yun to meet again.
But the appearance of this divine spark undoubtedly gave her another chance, so how could she not be surprised and delighted?
She carefully reached out and accepted the divine spark that Ye Yun handed over, gripping it tightly in her palm.
At this moment, Ye Yun seemed to notice something and looked at her with some surprise, or rather, at her face?
Could it be that she still had feelings for him?
That gaze made Hong Ling irrepressibly curious, and she couldn't help but purse her lips and ask,
"Elder Ye, is there something wrong with my face?"
Hearing this, Ye Yun finally withdrew his gaze and coughed lightly, saying,
"Oh, oh, it's nothing. I was just surprised that the horns on your head seem to have grown a bit larger than before, and your appearance has also changed, becoming more delicate."
He distinctly remembered the somewhat outrageous reaction she had when he touched her horns back then.
When Hong Ling heard his words, her originally flustered face turned completely red like an apple.
"I've... grown over the years..."
As she said this, she seemed very shy, as if she was embarrassed to speak it out.
Ye Yun found it a bit strange.
"By the way, is there anything wrong with your body?"
Since a moment ago, there had been an abnormal blush on her face.
Hong Ling immediately shook her head and denied it.
"No... nothing's wrong, it's just..."
In fact, it was only because Ye Yun did not understand the demon race well enough.
Although he had learned before that horns held a unique significance for the demon race,
He wouldn't have imagined that these horns were to the demon race what certain characteristics are to human men and women.
No normal person would openly comment on them face-to-face, and it would be strange not to feel shy if they truly discussed it.
Just then, Hong Ling hesitated for a moment, then pursed her lips and said,
"Um... do you want to touch them?"
"Uh... huh?"
Her shy demeanor stunned Ye Yun.
For a moment, he felt as if he had returned to the time when he had saved her in the demon territory...
...
Compared to the escalating speed here, to avoid judgment, the perspective shifted elsewhere.
Gu Xiaoyue, on the other hand, was about to meet her two masters.
Gu Chen was her first master, and the other, Empress Yu Xian'er of the Demon Night, was her second. The atmosphere was somewhat peculiar now that they had met.
Gu Chen and Yu Xian'er sat on opposite sides, with Gu Xiaoyue sandwiched in between, silently watching her two masters.
Fortunately, their interaction was not conflict-ridden.
"I'm truly sorry. Although she mentioned she already had a master back then, I insisted she become my disciple out of admiration for her talent."
Yu Xian'er cupped her fists and apologized to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen, in turn, smiled and nodded, saying,
"It is I who should thank you, Senior. That brat Ye Yun also said that if it weren't for you, this girl would have certainly died."
In the Heavenly Realm, being able to address Ye Yun in such a manner was indeed unique.
Yu Xian'er shook her head, "Friend Gu Xian, there's no need to be so polite. Given your relationship with Star Lord Ye, I dare not accept the title of Senior."
"If you don't mind, please just call me by my name."
"This... alright."
Gu Chen was not one for pleasantries and readily agreed.
Then, he looked at Gu Xiaoyue and asked with a smile,
"Speaking of which, this girl is so mischievous; has she caused you any trouble?"
As someone who had watched Gu Xiaoyue grow up, no one understood her temperament better than he did.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoyue immediately retorted indignantly,
"How could she! I'm so obedient, how could I cause trouble for my master!"
To this, Yu Xian'er merely chuckled and nodded,
"That's true, except for being a bit too infatuated with Star Lord Ye, she's fine otherwise."
"That's completely normal. Little Yue has been saying she wants to be Ye Yun's dao companion every day since a long time ago."
At this point, Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh.
"Alas, I wonder what kind of magic that fellow has to have so many celestial maidens and beauties surrounding him."
Yu Xian'er smiled faintly, "After all, he's handsome, and his talent and strength are heaven-defying, so he's bound to be popular with women."
Gu Chen agreed wholeheartedly, then looked at Gu Xiaoyue and said helplessly,
"That's true. However, in this case, your chances of being with him will be much more difficult."
"I don't care!"
Gu Xiaoyue said with determination in response to her master's reminder.
"No matter how difficult it is, I will make him fall at my feet in the future!"
Seeing her resolute expression, Gu Chen and Yu Xian'er exchanged glances and sighed inwardly with helplessness.
Looking at her demeanor, it was still unknown who would end up falling at whose feet...
...
Meanwhile, somewhere in the Ancient Dao Immortal Palace, Song Ziyue was alone, leaning against a shade tree.
With just a thought, everything on the entire Profound Sky Continent became clear to her without making a sound.
In fact, although Ye Yun had a high estimation of the Primeval God, the true power of the Primeval God far exceeded his imagination.
At the level of a Primeval God, especially an Extreme Grade Primeval God, they had long transcended ordinary logic.
If in their prime, an Extreme Grade Primeval God could do anything they pleased in the myriad worlds, except for creating worlds themselves.
Yet, this all-powerful Song Ziyue was now full of confusion and bewilderment.
"It's truly strange. How could such a weak great world give birth to such a monstrous talent..."
The more Song Ziyue looked, the more unusual she found it. Through her previous encounters, she also knew that Ye Yun was ranked first on the talent list of the myriad worlds.
But she couldn't fathom where Ye Yun's rise to power came from...
After thinking for a long time, she couldn't find an answer, but there was one thing Song Ziyue was absolutely certain of.
Whoever could control Ye Yun would rule the myriad worlds in the future!
However, even so, there was still the biggest problem before her that Song Ziyue pondered endlessly.
She looked in Ye Yun's direction from afar, her face full of thought.
"How exactly can I control that Ye Yun..."
Military coercion? Puppet control? Offering herself?
Although she was merely listing possibilities, the third conclusion made her shake her head.
Not to mention that it was unreliable and did not align with her usual character.
