Chapter 470: Realm Surging

"That... I didn't mean to just now!" Ye Liuyun explained.

"Which? I don't have a name!" The Ninth Princess didn't even turn her body, directly retorted.

"Um... Ninth Princess..." Ye Liuyun immediately corrected himself.

"I'm not a princess now!" The Ninth Princess retorted again.

Ye Liuyun suddenly realized he still didn't know the princess's name. So he looked pleadingly at Wu Qingcheng.

Wu Qingcheng covered her mouth and smiled, using Divine Sense to tell him the Ninth Princess's name: "Jin Yuanhui."

"Yuanhui!" Ye Liuyun gratefully glanced at Wu Qingcheng, then called out. He thought if he called her full name Jin Yuanhui, the princess might not be satisfied, so he only used her given name to sound more intimate.

"How well do we know each other? You're being so mushy!" The Ninth Princess, while not letting him off verbally, secretly laughed inside. She hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to still know her name.

Ye Liuyun also realized that no matter what he called her, he couldn't calm her down. So he continued explaining: "Back then, it was also in a panic, I raised my voice a bit, but it was absolutely not aimed at you—you mustn't misunderstand me!"

"Hmph! No one has ever shouted at me like this from childhood to adulthood!" The Ninth Princess finally turned around, pouting, glaring at Ye Liuyun.

"Hehe, yeah! You used to be a princess! This is perfect—let you experience a different life. You've experienced it now!" Ye Liuyun also laughed.

"Pah, I don't want to experience being yelled at!" The Ninth Princess gave him a sideways glance, walked over to Wu Qingcheng, grabbed her arm, and hid behind her.

"Then tell me, what feeling do you want to experience?" Ye Liuyun, seeing this, also knew the princess was no longer angry, just deliberately giving him a hard time. So he simply tried to cheer her up, to satisfy her a bit.

"I want to experience..." The Ninth Princess spoke halfway, then stopped. Immediately she stamped her foot and shouted: "Is there anyone who apologizes like you? And you're still asking me? Go on, tell me how you want to compensate me!"

Then she shook Wu Qingcheng's arm, acting coquettish: "Qingcheng sis, how could you fall for such a blockhead? Is he apologizing? Obviously he's just bullying me!"

Wu Qingcheng also echoed: "He's a blockhead, that's long been a fact, and you only just found out? Tattling to me is useless. Who let you know he's a blockhead and still like him!"

"Who likes him? I certainly don't!" The Ninth Princess denied.

"If you don't like him, why are you still following him? He yelled at you, yet you didn't leave!" Wu Qingcheng laughed, and Yu Er and Ru Yue, etc., also laughed.

"Alright! Everyone's tired enough, let's have barbecue? Once the meat is done, we'll give it first to our princess to enjoy." Ye Liuyun also took the opportunity to slip away and started grilling meat. If this continued, he guessed Wu Qingcheng would again try to make him take in the Ninth Princess.

"Hmph! You see me all alone, ganging up on me!" The Ninth Princess, ashamed, stamped her feet but could do nothing. Pulled by Wu Qingcheng, she sat surrounding Ye Liuyun, waiting for the barbecue.

"When will Lei Ming return?" Wu Qingcheng also helped Ye Liuyun change the topic.

"I don't know! Wait, after the ceremony finishes, she should come back. The Demon Race wouldn't dare hide her." Ye Liuyun said reassuringly.

Afterwards, after the meat was grilled, Ye Liuyun personally handed the first piece to the princess. She then happily took it and forgave Ye Liuyun.

They waited, staying in place for three days.

During that time Ye Liuyun also went to scout, but the Demon Race's ritual hadn't ended. Lei Ming, too, was safe and sound. It just looked like she was cultivating.

Ye Liuyun didn't investigate further; seeing Lei Ming safe and sound, he retreated back to continue waiting.

Three days later, when they waited for Lei Ming's return, they only then discovered Lei Ming had changed greatly.

Her age seemed to have increased by another one or two years. Her cultivation had risen to Tian Gang Liu Chong, a full four realms up. Moreover, demon qi flickered faintly all over her body, as if she were struggling to control it.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil glanced at his True Essence; indeed it had all turned into demon qi. However, the Blood Thunder and icy cold power within still remained.

"Little brother, what are you doing?" Lei Ming felt Ye Liuyun using his Golden Pupil to see through her, and she somewhat embarrassedly complained.

"Nothing? I'm just looking at the change in your True Essence, not anything else!" Ye Liuyun hurriedly explained.

"Don't explain! What should be seen and what shouldn't, you've already seen it all!" Wu Qingcheng walked over and directly pulled Lei Ming over.

"Qingcheng sis..." Lei Ming still felt a bit shy.

"Um... it turns out Qingcheng already knew. This girl, how does she talk about everything?" Ye Liuyun glanced at Lei Ming, who then felt even more embarrassed.

"Yo! Our Lei Ming lass, seems to have grown up! Knows shyness now! Forgot you always used to strip naked and dive into your little brother's arms?" Wu Qingcheng, worried Lei Ming feared being ostracized by everyone, deliberately started joking with her.

Lei Ming, ashamed, directly covered her face with her hands. Ye Liuyun also looked extremely embarrassed.

"What, what? There's still this kind of thing? Quickly tell me, I want to hear too." The Ninth Princess immediately perked up, insisting Wu Qingcheng tell her.

Ye Liuyun had no choice but to continue grilling meat for Lei Ming, pretending not to know what Wu Qingcheng was saying.

A few women chattered together for a while; even Piao Yun came over to listen to the fun. Only Bai Hu accompanied Ye Liuyun in grilling meat, sneaking bites here and there.

Lei Ming saw that nobody treated her as an outsider, and gradually relaxed.

After a while she came over to Ye Liuyun's side, watching him grill meat.

"Hungry?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"Mm." Lei Ming nodded.

"Coming back this time, you seem to have grown a bit!" Ye Liuyun laughed.

"Just some bodily changes. I'm still unchanged!" Lei Ming puffed her chest, obviously a bit taller than before.

Ye Liuyun chuckled: "The change you're talking about is this, right?"

"Oh dear, little brother you're also teasing me! I'm ignoring you." Saying that, she turned to run.

"Hey, don't go, here's the meat I grilled for you, take it!" Ye Liuyun threw the meat to Lei Ming.

Lei Ming caught the meat with her hand, eating while she ran back to the group of women to chat.

After everyone had eaten their fill, they all asked Ye Liuyun what he would do next.

Lei Ming said with difficulty: "I'm also a Demon Race now; can everyone stop killing Demon Race? Actually they're not easy either—this mountain range lacks resources. They're barely scraping by. In fact, when they first resisted the Foreign Tribe invasion, they also contributed a lot."

"Mm. No matter what, they're now our Lei Ming lass's family; we can't kill them anymore. First return to the Iron Eagle Sect! The regional selection isn't far off now. Going back to train for a while will be about enough."

Ye Liuyun also knew they couldn't use these Demon Race members as practice dummies anymore.

So he released the Flying Boat, taking everyone back to the Iron Eagle Sect.

Their Flying Boat set out directly from the Demon Race's territory.

Outside, the Martial Cultivators at a glance could tell it was a Human Race Flying Boat. Yet no one dared approach, nor dare ask what happened. They all assumed whoever sat inside must be some big shot.

Someone also suggested sending a person to inquire. But someone directly replied: "Who would dare so easily lay waste to the Demon Race's territory like this—could we even go stop or question them?"

So until Ye Liuyun's Flying Boat disappeared from their sight, no one ever dared to step forward.
