On the other side.
With a flash of light, Ye Fan and the little demon girl appeared in a completely different world.
Sensing the familiar spiritual energy in the air, Ye Fan knew he had returned to the human realm!
He turned to look back.
In the mid-air behind them, a nearly transparent barrier could be seen.
"This is bad..." Ye Fan exclaimed softly.
"What's wrong?" the little demon girl asked curiously.
"This barrier probably won't last much longer..."
Ye Fan pointed at the barrier, his brow furrowed.
It was clear that this was the barrier separating the human and demon realms.
The appearance of such a translucent barrier in the air meant that the barrier's power was already extremely weak.
Before long, this place would be completely connected to the demon realm!
Formations were like a chain reaction; if one part had a problem, the entire formation would collapse!
Ye Fan had the ability to repair it, but he lacked the necessary materials.
Even the best chef is useless without ingredients.
And this was only considering natural weakening.
If someone were to hasten its demise, the collapse would happen even faster!
"It won't be long before the barrier between the human and demon realms completely disappears, and then the demons will march in," Ye Fan said to the little demon girl. "At that time..."
Although he didn't say it, the implication was clear.
The little demon girl, being from the demon realm, would be in a very precarious position.
"I don't care about that..." the little demon girl said to Ye Fan, her expression earnest. "The grudges between humans and demons are too distant for me. I just want to be by your side, that's all."
"And..." As she spoke, the little demon girl instinctively touched her stomach.
When she had recounted her experiences after their separation, the little demon girl had omitted the events of that night and the matter of the child in her belly.
Although she had acted like an experienced woman during their time together, it was all just talk.
When it came to actually telling Ye Fan about that night, she was still a bit embarrassed to speak.
This was very much like those keyboard warriors.
Invincible behind a screen!
But when faced with reality, they immediately backed down...
"What's wrong?" Ye Fan gave her a strange look. "You're not going to say you're hungry, are you?"
Based on his understanding of the little demon girl, this silly girl might actually do something like that...
"Yes, I'm a bit hungry," the little demon girl replied smoothly. "Let's eat something delicious!"
Now that they were in the human realm, they no longer needed to flee.
The current strength of the barrier meant that beings of the Demon General level could not pass through.
As long as no Demon Generals appeared, other demons were not a problem.
As for the matter of the child...
She hadn't figured out how to bring it up yet.
And in the current situation, it didn't seem like the right time to talk about it...
"We'll eat slowly along the way," Ye Fan said, looking ahead. "Let's go back to my sect first."
The power of the demon race was undeniable.
The strength of a Demon General was between the Integration stage and the Mahayana stage, and a Demon Commander was enough to threaten a Tribulation Transcender. And even more powerful Demon Kings could easily kill peak Tribulation Transcenders!
If Demon Kings had been involved in the battle back then, the human realm might not even exist now!
After the demon race's defeat, the human race had only reinforced the existing barrier.
The original barrier had been set up by ancient cultivators, and the technology was now lost.
And if this barrier were to collapse, it would no longer be able to stop beings of the Demon King level!
That would surely be the end of the cultivation world!
Ye Fan planned to return to the Purple Cloud Sect first to inform Purple Cloud True Person and the others of this news.
The Purple Cloud Sect was, after all, where he had started his transmigration, so he naturally had some affection for it.
As for how to deal with it, they could figure that out when they got there...
However, Ye Fan's flying ship had been destroyed by heavenly lightning, and he hadn't had time to get a new one.
If they had to travel all the way back on foot, it would be quite an ordeal.
This wasn't too difficult, though. At worst, he could find a place to buy one along the way.
Ye Fan wasn't short on money now anyway.
The more difficult problem was the little demon girl's situation.
During their escape from the demon realm, the medicinal effects in her body had long since disappeared.
Her current potent demonic energy would definitely attract the attention of cultivators.
When Ye Fan voiced his concerns, the little demon girl chuckled.
"This is simple!"
As she spoke, the demonic energy around her vanished!
"How... how did you do that?"
Ye Fan's expression was astonished, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Maybe it's my body's constitution," the little demon girl replied. "Also, I have a rare royal bloodline, a very powerful one."
"So that's how it is."
Ye Fan nodded in understanding.
The so-called royal bloodline referred to the level of demonic bloodline.
It was similar to the various strange physiques of human cultivators, not that she could be called royal bloodline simply because she was a princess of a kingdom.
Simply put.
Demons with royal bloodlines were destined to grow into Demon Kings!
And they wouldn't encounter bottlenecks like human cultivators; they were incredibly overpowered.
"I have a flying ship too."
After the little demon girl finished speaking, she took a flying ship out of her ring.
This was prepared for her as part of her dowry, made from all sorts of excellent materials, and it was incredibly high-class.
However, its distinct demonic style made it seem out of place in the human realm.
But this was not a major issue.
Ye Fan spent half a day disguising it.
Now, the flying ship looked a bit peculiar in its design, but it certainly wouldn't make anyone think of the demon race.
The two boarded the flying ship and sailed towards the Purple Cloud Sect.
The Great Liang Kingdom.
The Purple Cloud Sect's base.
Wang Yang, as usual, was faithfully guarding the spiritual field, waiting for his wife to grow out of it...
His dedication and persistence were admired by his fellow disciples.
Especially the female disciples, who were moved to tears.
Some female disciples even used Wang Yang's story as inspiration to write several fictional tales with bizarre and tortuous plots.
Overall, they appeared epic, but upon reading them, it seemed they had little to do with Wang Yang, the person involved.
In any case, they were highly circulated among the female cultivators.
One day, Wang Yang was squatting by the spiritual field as usual.
He no longer refined pills and often squatted there for several days.
Fortunately, he was a cultivator, something an ordinary person couldn't endure.
"This soil seems a bit dry..."
Wang Yang mumbled to himself as he added some water to the spiritual field.
Suddenly!
Several wisps of purple light appeared in the center of the spiritual field.
In a moment, the entire spiritual field was covered in purple light!
Wang Yang was stunned!
"My lady, is that you?!"
As he came to his senses, Wang Yang wildly shouted at the spiritual field!
As if to answer him, the purple light in the spiritual field grew stronger and stronger!
Suddenly, a clump of soil in the middle of the spiritual field was pushed aside.
The next moment, a purple seedling broke through the soil!
"This is great, this is great!"
Wang Yang lay on the ground, his rear end in the air, tears of excitement streaming down his face.
The purple seedling grew at an alarming rate.
In just a few breaths, it had grown into a giant flower several zhang tall, as large as a millstone.
Vines spread out, covering the entire spiritual field.
Upon seeing the flower's appearance, a hint of confusion flickered in Wang Yang's eyes.
When he and Zi Yu played in bed at night, he often saw Zi Yu's true form.
But this flower was quite different from Zi Yu...
Zi Yu's true form was purple, crystal clear, like jade.
And although this flower was also purple, it was mixed with a large amount of black...
Secondly, the shape of the flower.
Zi Yu's petals had barbs and fangs, which might look scary at first glance.
But after seeing them many times, Wang Yang had gradually gotten used to them.
He even found them very cute...
But this purple-black flower made him feel deeply uneasy!
This feeling wasn't due to its appearance.
In terms of appearance alone, this flower was at most a bit dark, with no barbs or fangs.
But for some reason.
Upon seeing this flower, an icy chill crept into Wang Yang's heart...
It was as if...
He was facing death itself!
His current feeling could be described as fear and dread!
Yet, strangely, mixed within this fear and dread was a sense of familiarity.
This familiarity was not the same as Zi Yu's, but a completely unfamiliar sense of familiarity.
Wang Yang couldn't explain why he felt this way, but it was extremely bizarre!
