Chapter 2455
Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan exchanged a glance, then smiled at each other. Happiness, sweetness, and fulfillment filled their hearts.
After a while, Yan Aohan helped Zhu Yanyi sit down nearby. "In two days, I will go out to pick up Ouyang Tianyun."
Zhu Yanyi had no objections. "Bring her here. We are demon cultivators here. Remember to explain this to her clearly, so we don’t get exposed." She paused, then added, "Actually, I think it’s good for Senior Brother Tianyun to come and be my assistant."
Because of Lu Qian’s case, many demons in Ye Village already knew Zhu Yanyi had amazing medical skills. So, those with minor ailments often came to see her. These past few days, Zhu Yanyi had been quite busy.
Fortunately, most were small issues. However, over these ten-plus days, the demons in Ye Village seemed to get along better with Zhu Yanyi and her family.
Originally, suspicion among demons was very strong. But now, that atmosphere seemed to be fading.
The demons in Ye Village didn’t notice this change themselves. They only noticed that more demons were coming to see Zhu Yanyi. Since they all came for her, they naturally exchanged polite words and chatted. Unknowingly, the demons in Ye Village became very harmonious, and their relationships improved significantly.
There were no more fights in the village, which was good news for Lu Shen.
So, when Yan Aohan told Lu Shen that a relative would stay with them for a while, Lu Shen agreed immediately.
Since they would stay in Yan Aohan’s home and not require extra housing, and given the couple’s abilities, Lu Shen was happy to accommodate them.
When Ouyang Tianyun arrived in Ye Village and saw Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi’s home, he raised an eyebrow slightly. "You are actually living with demons."
"They think we are plant-demon cultivators, so you need an identity too," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "I plan to make you a plant-demon cultivator as well. Since you know herbs well and can refine pills, it is the best choice."
Ouyang Tianyun didn’t mind. "That’s fine. It’s just an identity."
Seeing Ouyang Tianyun had no objections, Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi finalized the plan. Even if he had objections, once they decided, his opinion wouldn’t change anything.
Thus, outwardly, Ouyang Tianyun’s identity was also a plant-demon cultivator.
She was there to assist Zhu Yanyi, as people came to the Yan family for medical help every day.
Gradually, the Yan family’s medical reputation spread slowly in the surrounding areas.
One day, when no sick demons came for treatment, Ouyang Tianyun asked a question that had been bothering him. "Junior Sister Yanyi, why did you and Emperor Yan choose to settle here and pretend to be demon cultivators?"
"We don’t need to follow the rules of the demon world. That is true. But since we are here to train, we must follow the rules of each realm. We came to the demon world, so naturally, we must first consider ourselves demon cultivators to integrate into their world," Yan Aohan said, looking at Ouyang Tianyun. "Since you came here, have you noticed that the demon cultivators in Ye Village are different from those in other towns?"
"I noticed this on my second day. I found that the demon cultivators in this village seem much more peaceful than those in other villages," Ouyang Tianyun answered seriously.
This was true. He had been curious about the demon world. Although he hadn’t visited before, he had read about it in books. Demons in the demon world never trusted each other. That was why demons were looked down upon, even though their abilities were far superior to mortals.
Humans acted in groups, while demons mostly acted alone and distrusted one another. This caused the decline of the demon world.
When Ouyang Tianyun arrived in Ye Village and saw the difference, he was quite surprised.
"There are two reasons. First, the village chief is a deer demon. Deer have gentle natures by nature. Second, my wife settled here. By treating everyone, she is slowly guiding the villagers, purifying their thoughts from the root. Otherwise, do you think these demons would be different from others?" Yan Aohan looked at Ouyang Tianyun with an expression that said he was hard to teach.
Zhu Yanyi added, "Actually, my actions are very understandable. I am a medical cultivator. I walk the path of medicine. Therefore, everything in the demon world, everything happening to demons, is like the demon world being sick. Since the demon world is sick, as a medical cultivator, I naturally must heal them slowly."
A faint smile touched Zhu Yanyi’s lips as she looked at Ouyang Tianyun. "Senior Brother Tianyun, what do you think?"
Ouyang Tianyun was slightly stunned. "My main purpose for coming to the demon world is to find my sister. My adoptive father said I would meet my sister in about nine years. But he asked me to come here. I thought there must be a reason. Did he send me here to learn medicine from you?"
"No," Zhu Yanyi said, looking at Ouyang Tianyun. "Your fate with Lingshu still has over nine years to go. But you came to the demon world because your adoptive father wanted you to meet me."
"Why?" Ouyang Tianyun looked at Zhu Yanyi, confused.
Zhu Yanyi smiled calmly. "I have reincarnated many times, so I don’t remember much from my past lives. But my husband is Emperor Yan, so I used the Reincarnation Pool. I saw my past lives in the pool. In one life, my first life, my name was Suwen."
"Little Sister," Ouyang Tianyun was stunned. She looked at Zhu Yanyi, her eyes full of surprise. She never expected Zhu Yanyi to be the reincarnation of Suwen.
Zhu Yanyi looked at Ouyang Tianyun calmly. "I don’t remember anything about Suwen. But my first past life was indeed Suwen. That is undeniable. However, with reincarnation, I have forgotten many things.
I came to the demon world for training, and also for a final understanding between Lingshu and me. But your appearance was an unexpected factor. I didn’t expect to have a brother like you. Actually, for me, having you as a senior brother is already very good. That is why I didn’t tell you the truth at first."
