Demon World————

"Is there any news about him?" Demon Lord Yu Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a hint of eagerness and expectation. Her beautiful face looked a little pale because of nervousness.

The many monsters below looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly, indicating that they had not received any news about that person. For a moment, the entire hall fell into a dead silence, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

At this moment, a tall and cold succubus stood up. Her voice was clear and pleasant, but it carried a kind of majesty that could not be ignored: "Your Majesty! When I was on a mission in the underworld, I accidentally met a person who was quite similar to the person you described... However, I knew that this matter was of great importance and did not dare to act rashly, so I deliberately left the shadow demon to continue to monitor the movements of that person."

When Yu Yan heard this, her tense nerves relaxed instantly, and a glimmer of joy flashed in her eyes: "Really? Great! Contact Shadow Fiend as soon as possible!" She was so excited that her hands were shaking a little, as if she had seen the dawn of hope. After all, for so many years, she had been searching for the person who was so important to her. Now that she finally had a clue, how could she not be ecstatic?

At the same time, Yu Yan thought to herself: Could it really be him? If so, does it mean that the You'er I've been thinking about is about to come back to me? Thinking of this, her heartbeat quickened, and she waited for the news from Shadow Demon with full of longing and expectation.

"Yes!"

Then, the other demons quickly retreated. At this time, the succubus silently contacted the shadow demon. In fact, this so-called shadow demon was no one else, but an unconscious clone of her own.

Demon Lord Yu Yan stared at the image sent back by Shadow Demon quietly, and the huge rock that was hanging in her heart finally fell slowly. Yes, it was him! However... he didn't look exactly like him! Yu Yan frowned tightly, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. What happened in these long hundreds of years? What was the truth hidden behind it in the past?

At this moment, Demon Lord Yu Yan seemed to have lost her soul. She sat on the throne in a trance, gently stroking her forehead, and muttered to herself: "Let the Shadow Demon return. There is no need to continue to monitor us."

After hearing the order, the succubus nodded respectfully, then turned around and quietly left the Demon Palace. The entire hall suddenly fell into a dead silence, with only Yu Yan's heavy sigh echoing in the air, as if telling of endless confusion and bewilderment.

At this moment, a figure slowly stepped out from behind the throne. This figure looked like a human but not a human, and was filled with a strong and strange demonic aura. However, upon closer inspection, no demonic horns, the hallmark of the demon race, were found. It seemed to be between reality and illusion, and its entire body was shrouded in a layer of mysterious demonic fog, making it difficult to see its true appearance.

An extremely weak voice, like a candle in the wind, floated out of the person's mouth, but surprisingly, it was impossible to tell whether the person who spoke was a man or a woman. "King! You have obviously found his whereabouts, why are you still reluctant to go and meet him?" This voice was filled with endless weakness, as if it would dissipate into the air at any time.

"Don't you understand yet? He is now... no longer the same as before!" Demon Lord Yu Yan sighed softly, her tone revealing deep helplessness and sadness.

"How can the king make such an assertion? Perhaps he is still capable of helping the king to accomplish his great cause! The king... should try it himself!" The man continued to persuade, his words earnest.

Demon Lord Yu Yan frowned, her face full of sorrow. She thought to herself: Maybe... maybe... Hey! Once, she always believed that Ye Lingfeng was a cowardly and useless person, who was even unable to protect his wife and children. However, after a thousand years of companionship, she knew that Ye Lingfeng was not that bad. But... why did he cruelly abandon me and You'er in that incident! This question was like a heavy yoke, pressing on Yu Yan's heart, making her miserable.

Since returning to the demon world, doubts have been lingering in my heart. I can't help but wonder if there is a possibility that someone else is secretly playing tricks on me. So I spent a whole hundred years trying to find the truth, but the result was frustrating and I had no clue. Perhaps only that legendary figure could know the reason, after all, everything that happened in this world could not escape his sharp eyes. However, I am just an insignificant little demon...

In addition, who exactly is that mysterious "he"? Why did he save Yan'er and me from danger? And why did he insist on letting me ascend to the position of Demon Lord? Many questions are entangled in my heart like a tangled mess, and I can't cut them off or sort them out.

Yu Yan fell into a long silence, as if time had frozen at this moment. After a fierce inner struggle, she finally made up her mind and said, "Well, if that's the case, then I will go find him myself." As soon as she finished speaking, a thick layer of black light appeared around her, like a shooting star across the night sky, and she instantly disappeared into the magnificent hall.

Underworld

"You two are so leisurely and comfortable! I didn't expect that the dignified Demon Lord would have the leisure to come to my underworld as a guest?" Ming Ye stared at the Demon Lord in front of him with cold eyes, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible teasing.

Demon Lord Yu Yan stood there quietly, her beautiful and deep eyes carefully looking at Ming Ye in front of her. Time seemed to flow back many years ago, but the person in front of her still looked exactly the same as in her memory, without any change. However, what surprised Yu Yan was that he was once a high and respected god! How could he fall into this dark and filthy underworld and be corroded by the turbid air of the mortal world?

"Do you... know me?" Yu Yan hesitated for a moment before finally summoning up the courage to ask softly. Her voice was as pleasant as the sound of nature, but it was mixed with a little nervousness and uneasiness.

Ming Ye was stunned when he heard this, but then he regained his composure. He smiled and replied, "Of course... I don't know him. But it is rumored that the Demon Lord is a woman, and she prefers to wear bright red clothes. Today, I saw that you exude a strong demonic aura. I think you must have gone through thousands of years of tempering and precipitation to have such a profound cultivation. Therefore, I dare to guess that you are the Demon Lord who is feared by the world. I wonder if I am right?" After that, Ming Ye cast his gaze on Yu Yan again, with a curious light in his eyes.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Demon Lord Yu Yan released powerful demonic energy and stared at Ming Ye coldly.

"I think... the dignified Demon Lord would not travel thousands of miles to kill a nobody like me. I am just a bystander in the underworld. I am not like the King of Hell who holds great power, nor like the Prince of the Underworld who holds several positions... I am just an idler." Ming Ye said sarcastically.

"Oh, you are quite interesting!" Demon Lord Yu Yan sat down next to Ming Ye.
