The cat demon defies the heavens and is the emperor’s only beloved disciple!

In the deepest part of the demon world, there is an unknown bamboo forest. It is far away from the noise of war and seems to be the last pure land between heaven and earth.

In the bamboo forest, the sunlight is mottled, the breeze blows gently, and the bamboo leaves rustle, weaving a melodious melody.

In this quiet place, Demon Lord Hei Yao and Madam Zi Yao are quietly enjoying their time.

Hei Yao was wearing a black robe, his long hair was as black as ink, and his eyes were shining with a deep light.

He held a simple flute in his hand and gently placed it against his lips. A melodious sound rang out, like a mountain stream or the stars in the night sky, gentle and profound. This sound was his endless love and longing for Zi Yao.

Zi Yao was dressed in gorgeous purple clothes and wore a golden crown on her head. A light purple mark on her forehead was shining brightly, which was the symbol of her identity as the Qilin mythical beast.

She danced gracefully to the sound of the flute, her figure light and graceful, like an elf leaping in the woods, and every movement was full of strength and grace.

Her eyes were filled with deep affection and attachment to Hei Yao, as if the whole world existed only for this moment.

Not far away, Yun Che was lying on the ground, Xu Wan was lying in his arms, bamboo leaves were falling on them, Yun Che closed his eyes and rested.

Xu Wan stared at Madam Zi Yao, and couldn't help but sigh that her dance was like a dream.

At the climax of the dance, Madam Zi Yao jumped high, spun her body, and waved her sleeves, like a phoenix spreading its wings to fly.

As the last note fell, Madam Zi Yao slowly stopped and breathed slightly.

Hei Yao walked up to her and gently held her hand, his eyes full of appreciation and love.

"Madam, your dance is so beautiful." Hei Yao said softly.

Madam Zi Yao raised her head with a smile and looked at Hei Yao, a glimmer of happiness flashing in her eyes.

"Thank you, my husband. Only in your presence can I express myself so freely."

The two smiled at each other, and at this moment, each other's feelings were clear without words.

In this tranquil bamboo forest, their love grew deeper, as if they had become one with nature.

"Husband, do you still remember the day when we first met?" Zi Yao suddenly asked softly while spinning.

Hei Yao smiled slightly, his flute playing not stopping, but his voice was filled with tenderness and nostalgia: "How can I forget? That day, I was seriously injured and hunted by my enemies to the point of despair. It was you, a fairy, who descended from the sky and saved me from the dire straits."

"At that time, although you were covered in scars, the light in your eyes was brighter than any treasure."

Zi Yao recalled the past, her eyes sparkling with happiness. "I have never met such a tenacious person. At that moment, I knew that my destiny would be closely linked with yours."

Hei Yao put down the flute, walked to Zi Yao, and gently held her hand. Their eyes met at this moment, as if the whole world stopped.

"Madam, you gave me a new life and made me feel warmth and light I have never felt before."

Zi Yao looked at Hei Yao with a determined gaze and said, "In order to be with you, I am willing to give up my immortal status and fall into the devil's way, just to be able to fight side by side with you, to face life and death together."

Zi Yao snuggled in Hei Yao's arms, tears glistening in her eyes, but they were tears of happiness.

"Madam, do you never regret it? Giving up your immortal position means you will forever bear the sin of betraying the immortal world."

Zi Yao shook her head gently, her tone firm yet gentle: "As long as you are by my side, I have no regrets. Having you is my greatest happiness. We have been through so many ups and downs together, and we have long been integrated into one, inseparable."

Xu Wan lay beside Yun Che, her chin resting on her hand, feeling a surge of emotion. "Can demons be so affectionate?" She gazed into the distance, as if lost in thought.

At this moment, Yun Che stared at her quietly, with a complex emotion welling up in his heart.

"Everything in the world has good and evil, including demons."

Yun Che said slowly, "However, not all monsters are evil. Just like humans, some are good and some are evil.

But if I encounter those evildoers who are stubborn and endanger the human world, I will ruthlessly destroy them."

Xu Wan turned her head, a hint of sadness in her eyes. "Master, do you think Yan Wu, Tan Yuan, and little Jin Xi will stay in the Demon Realm forever? After all, their families are here."

He gently supported Xu Wan's shoulders, and they stood up together and looked into the distance.

“Let’s see what they choose. Whether they stay in the Demon Realm or follow us back to the Azure Sky Palace, it only takes a day to go back and forth,” Yun Che said gently.

Hearing this, Xu Wan leaned against Yun Che and finally smiled. "Well, Master always makes so much sense. I'm just overthinking it."

Just then, a burst of cheerful laughter broke the tranquility of the bamboo forest.

They saw a young Qilin running and jumping in the woods, sometimes leaping onto tall bamboos, and sometimes jumping down lightly. It was their child - Jin Xi.

He inherited Zi Yao's Qilin bloodline and was born with powerful strength and agility.

"Auntie, auntie! Look how high I jump!" Jin Xi shouted excitedly, with curiosity and excitement flashing in her eyes.

Yun Che and Xu Wan smiled at each other, their eyes full of doting and love.

"Jin Xi, run slower and don't fall." Xu Wan gently reminded her.

"Don't worry, auntie, I'm the most powerful Qilin baby!" Jin Xi responded proudly and continued to run happily in the woods.

……

In the back garden deep in the bamboo forest, there is a clear pool of water with a faint mist floating on the surface, like a fairyland.

In the pool, a huge silver boulder stood. On it, Tan Yuan and Yan Wu, the guardian couple under the command of Emperor Yun Che of the Biluo Palace, closed their eyes and concentrated on practicing.

Tan Yuan was wearing a silver-white robe with fluttering sleeves as if condensed from moonlight. He had a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament revealed between his eyebrows.

His hands were lightly folded in front of his abdomen, and with every breath, the space around him seemed to vibrate slightly with his rhythm.

Yan Wu, on the other hand, was wearing a golden robe embroidered with intricate flame totems. Her eyes were tightly closed, and she exuded a fiery aura, which formed a sharp contrast with Tan Yuan's coldness, yet was inexplicably harmonious.

At this moment, the bamboo forest was quiet and silent, with only the rustling sound of wind blowing through the bamboo leaves and the occasional roar of animals in the distance breaking the tranquility.

Tan Yuan and Yan Wu's minds have been completely immersed in the world of cultivation. Their souls seem to have merged with the world, feeling the purest flow of energy in the universe.

After an unknown amount of time, Tan Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his deep eyes flashing with wisdom.

He turned to look at Yan Wu beside him, and saw a faint smile on her face. It was obvious that they both benefited a lot from this training.

"Wu'er, can you feel the power from ancient times?" Tan Yuan asked softly, his tone full of tenderness and affection.

Yan Wu opened his eyes, his golden pupils gleaming with determination: "Yuan, I seem to hear the whispers of the ancient demon gods. They are guiding us towards a more powerful force."

The two exchanged a smile. Without further words, their minds were already connected. They knew that as guardians of the Biluo Palace, they shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting this land, and cultivation was their path to ever-increasing strength.

Just as Tan Yuan and Yan Wu were immersed in the joy of their training, the sound of light footsteps broke the tranquility of the bamboo forest. A woman in a blue shirt slowly approached.

Seeing that the person was Xu Wan, Yan Wu immediately stood up from the boulder and jumped to the ground, with Tan Yuan following behind him.

Xu Wan's eyes flashed with a cunning look. She gently took Yan Wu's hand, her eyes full of sincerity: "Yan Wu, the human world is in its heyday. My master and I have agreed to go there for a few days. Do you want to go with me and experience the fireworks of the human world?"

Tan Yuan and Yan Wu exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise in their eyes. They knew that the human world was a place full of unknowns and temptations for those from the immortal world.

"Sister Wan, have you ever been to the human world?" Yan Wu asked curiously.

Xu Wan smiled faintly, her eyes gleaming with longing. "Although I haven't been there in person, I've heard Master describe the prosperity and beauty of that place. It's said that the human world has four seasons: spring flowers, autumn moon, summer rain, winter snow, and each season has its own unique scenery."

Upon hearing this, Yan Wu's eyes flashed with a complex emotion, a mixture of yearning and reluctance. His tone was gentle yet firm, "Sister Wan, I appreciate your kindness. But Biluo Palace is a place we protect, and we have a heavy responsibility. We cannot leave lightly."

She paused and continued, "However, you and Emperor Zun should go to the human world and have fun, enjoying the rare tranquility and joy.

In a few days, we will take Jin Xi back to the Biluo Palace. The Biluo Palace is our home and our eternal destination. We are willing to follow the Emperor forever and protect this pure land.

"Sister Wan, you can go ahead without worry. We are here in Biluo Palace, and everything will be fine." Tan Yuan's voice was low and powerful, revealing unquestionable firmness.

Xu Wan felt a surge of warmth in her heart upon seeing this. She knew Yan Wu and Tan Yuan's deep affection for the Biluo Palace, and she also understood their responsibility and commitment.

So, she nodded. Yan Wu and Tan Yuan stood side by side by the pool, looking at the gradually receding figure, their hearts filled with both reluctance and anticipation.
