Lan Yan and Jun Yelan left the wolf tribe and headed for the border between the demon realm and the human realm.
"Wait." Jun Yelan stopped, pulled Lan Yan behind a nearby stone, and looked back the way they had come with deep eyes.
Seeing Jun Yelan's reaction, Lan Yan followed his gaze and found two demon beasts where they had just been.
The two demon beasts stood in the middle of the road, looking around in confusion. One said, "Strange, I clearly smelled Jun Yelan just now, but where did he go?"
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" the tiger demon asked.
The other lion demon said, "Impossible, Jun Yelan's scent is unique. He must be nearby. Those wolves were too ferocious and injured us, otherwise we would have caught up to Jun Yelan."
The two demons roared in anger and then walked forward.
Hearing this, Jun Yelan looked at his sleeve and said, "I need to go somewhere. There's a flower there that can hide my demonic aura when consumed."
Otherwise, he would eventually drag Lan Yan down.
Lan Yan nodded, listening to Jun Yelan.
The two then headed to the flower demons' territory, where this flower could be found on their high mountains.
Jun Yelan spread his wings, picked up Lan Yan, and brought her here before setting her down. He took Lan Yan's hand and warned, "Yan'er, there are man-eating flowers here. Stay close to me."
The flower demon tribe had set up many traps to prevent people from picking flowers indiscriminately.
Lan Yan gripped Jun Yelan's hand and smiled, "Okay." She looked around at the profusion of flowers, but realized danger lurked within them.
A vine extended from their right, wrapping around Lan Yan's ankle.
Jun Yelan reached out to grab it, but a flower with a gaping maw emerged from the left and bit his hand.
"Be careful!" Lan Yan took out a fire starter from her怀 and threw it directly into the flower's open mouth, burning it to ashes.
Jun Yelan revealed his claws, tore the vine apart with a single swipe, and tossed it aside.
The man-eating flower and the vine immediately retracted and disappeared.
After this incident, Lan Yan and Jun Yelan became even more cautious, carefully moving towards the highest point.
Soon, they reached the mountaintop and saw the purple flowers near the cliff edge. They had finally found them!
Jun Yelan shielded Lan Yan and said, "Yan'er, I'll go alone first." Fearing an ambush near the purple flowers, he moved forward with light steps.
"Yelan, be careful." Lan Yan waited behind, ready to act immediately if anything happened to Jun Yelan.
Jun Yelan approached the purple flowers, but nothing emerged. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned his right hand into a claw, reaching for the root of the purple flower.
At this moment, Lan Yan suddenly smelled something and murmured, "What a fragrant scent." Gradually, she felt her body lose control, walking towards Jun Yelan, her right hand raised, grabbing Jun Yelan's claw.
Just as she wondered what was happening, she found she couldn't make a sound.
Jun Yelan stopped picking the flower and looked at Lan Yan in confusion, realizing something was wrong. "Yan'er," he tried to call out, but was suddenly attacked by Lan Yan.
Unable to harm Lan Yan, he could only grab her hand to make her stop.
Lan Yan was anxious internally, desperate to regain control of her body. She absolutely could not hurt Jun Yelan! She channeled her spiritual power, but it was no use.
Jun Yelan dodged to the side, simultaneously grabbing Lan Yan's right hand and calling out again, "Yan'er, wake up." He saw Lan Yan's pupils were unfocused; she was being controlled by something.
Remembering Lan Yan's fears, he reached out and covered her eyes, gently pulling her into his arms. He leaned close to her ear and said softly, with concern, "Yan'er, it's me."
This sentence allowed Lan Yan to regain control of her body. She lunged into Jun Yelan's arms and said aggrievedly, "Yelan, I smelled a scent just now, and my body stopped obeying me."
"Yes, I'll get revenge for you." Jun Yelan pulled Lan Yan behind him, held his breath, and approached the purple flower again. This time, he immediately cut the purple flower in half and dripped his blood onto the soil beside it.
The purple flower's roots and stems immediately withered, no longer emitting any fragrance.
Lan Yan smiled and said, "Heh heh, now you know how formidable we are."
Jun Yelan smiled back, consumed the purple flower, and concealed his demonic aura. He clasped Lan Yan's hand and said with a smile, "Yan'er, now we can go to the human realm."
"Mm." Lan Yan's eyes were filled with joy. She walked with Jun Yelan to the entrance of the human realm and stepped through.
At this time, the Demon King was hiding in a deep abyss fissure, leaning weakly against the rocks and looking at the demon beasts returning to report. "Did you find Jun Yelan?" It was all Jun Yelan's fault, forcing him to flee like a rat.
The demon beasts lowered their heads and replied fearfully, "Reporting to the Demon King, we did not find him. Furthermore, your younger brother has already returned to the Demon King's Palace and is summoning all demon beasts."
They swallowed hard, wishing they could leave too. Following this Demon King had no future.
The Demon King's eyes immediately blazed with rage. He, a noble dragon, had been reduced to this state. "Continue searching for him. I will tear Jun Yelan to pieces."
As he spoke, his arms throbbed with pain; they had been crippled by Jun Yelan.
The demon beasts quickly departed, but instead of searching for Jun Yelan, they returned to the Demon King's Palace. They only obeyed the strong!
The Demon King remained alone in the abyss, slowly being corroded by the thick magma within, his eyes full of unwillingness. Even if he were to die, he would drag Jun Yelan down with him.
He took out the Demon King's token, wrote a declaration of war, and sent it to the cultivation world. "Hahaha, now the two realms will erupt into war again. I want to see how Jun Yelan protects himself! Cough cough!"
After doing this, he used his last ounce of strength, transforming into a pool of blood and vanishing into the abyss.
Meanwhile, Lan Yan and Jun Yelan had arrived in the human realm.
The human realm was located below the cultivation world and bordered the demon realm. However, due to the presence of the cultivation world, it was rarely disturbed by the demon realm. Occasionally, a few demon beasts would come from the demon realm, like they were now.
As soon as Lan Yan's feet touched the ground, she looked at the familiar prosperity before her and couldn't help but laugh, "I've finally returned to a place I love. Yelan, I'll take you to eat something delicious first."
Before, in the cultivation world, she ate radishes every day. Then, in the demon realm, she ate meat every day.
Now, she wanted to eat all the delicacies on this street.
Jun Yelan looked at Lan Yan's radiant smile and felt this moment become even more beautiful, causing him to pause slightly.
"Yelan, come quickly," Lan Yan called from ahead, waving her hand.
Jun Yelan curved his lips, looked at the person who had already run towards the stalls, and followed with a smile.
If possible, he wished for the flow of time in the human realm to slow down, allowing him to spend more days with his Yan'er and cherish this hard-won happy time.
