Chapter 219: How Long Will This Show of Affection Last?
“—!!!”
The fleeing girl had already given up hope, but just as she closed her eyes and awaited death, a dragon spear fell from the sky. The two fierce demons turned to ashes.
She looked in astonishment towards the direction from which the spear came, seeing two figures descending from the sky. A man and a woman...
The man was very handsome, and the woman was exceptionally beautiful. Moreover, their clothes were different from the animal skins worn by ordinary people; they were dressed in very luxurious garments that clearly did not belong to common humans.
“Immortals...?” The girl looked at the scene in the sky, staring at the two in shock.
“We are not immortals; she is the Dragon Princess, and I am her husband,” Ye Xuan said with a smile. “Where are you from? Why were you being chased by these demons?”
“Dragon Princess? A monster—!!!” The girl was startled.
But just as she instinctively wanted to run away, she forced herself to stop. Despite her ingrained fear of monsters, the recent events made it impossible for her to run away rudely.
“Why did you monsters save me?” She asked Ye Xuan.
Although the Dragon Princess was very obedient in front of Ye Xuan, she was very cold and indifferent in front of others. In the eyes of the girl, Ye Xuan was more approachable.
The Dragon Princess didn’t mind being called a monster. Although the dragon clan was different from other species, to humans, anything that didn’t look human was a monster.
“Why can’t monsters save people?” Ye Xuan said, “Besides, the dragon clan is different from ordinary monsters. The dragon clan has the duty to govern the world.”
“Rather than monsters, they are more like guardians of the human race... Of course, I’m talking about the dragon clan that has accepted the Heavenly Emperor’s appointment.”
The girl looked at Ye Xuan with a puzzled expression. It was clear she didn’t understand what Ye Xuan was saying. After all, she was just an ordinary person.
The human race at that time was nothing more than small tribes with no communication between them, so how could she understand such matters of the world?
Seeing the girl’s confusion, Ye Xuan felt a bit helpless, “You just need to know we saved you. By the way, why were you being chased by those demons?”
Although she had such a past with Ye Xuan, these past events couldn’t make her let go of her hatred. Moreover, she had no memory of these events at all.
Everyone’s eyes returned to the scene in the sky.
They saw Ye Xuan, the Dragon Princess, and the girl who called herself Xiao Cai arrive at the pond Xiao Cai mentioned.
————
The three of them looked into the pond. It was originally just an ordinary pond, but as they looked into the water, it seemed to turn into an endless abyss.
As they gazed into the pond, something seemed to be looking back at them, drawing their gaze.
“This is... a passage to the demon realm—!!!” Ye Xuan frowned.
“Passage to the demon realm?” The Dragon Princess asked Ye Xuan, “What is that?”
“This is something I saw in the heavenly realm. The human world and the demon realm are not completely separate,” Ye Xuan explained.
“If ancient mirrors or reflective surfaces like calm water bodies are exposed to the essence of the yin and yang for millions of years, they might become passages connecting the human world and the demon realm.”
“Although it’s almost impossible, over billions of years, it’s bound to happen. Luckily, we discovered it early. If this passage had expanded, it would have been a disaster for the human world.”
“I see... So this is the aura of the demon realm? It’s not as terrifying as I imagined.” The Dragon Princess said casually.
Though she was only a horned dragon, far from a true dragon, sealing such a small passage was easy for her. So, she casually cast a spell and sealed the passage.

“Demon realm passage...”
“Could it be that Ye Xuan jumped into the demon realm to gain power?”
Seeing the passage to the demon realm, all the cultivators started speculating.
