Chapter 2471

Zhu Yanyi pointed at the fruit. "How do we eat this Silver Flower Fruit?"

"You just bite it directly. It is like eating an apple." The Silver Fox ate a rose flower cake.

Zhu Yanyi did not hesitate. She invited Yan Aohan and Ouyang Tianyun to eat, then took one herself and took a bite.

The Silver Flower Fruit had a faint Bodhi scent. It tasted slightly astringent at first, but after chewing a few times, it became sweet. After swallowing, Zhu Yanyi felt her spiritual energy was very full. She said confidently, "This fruit can restore human stamina?"

"It does not just restore human stamina. It can also restore demon stamina. It is one of the demon world fruits that both humans and demons can eat." The Silver Fox ate his rose cake and introduced the local specialty.

"How did you have time to visit us here?" Zhu Yanyi asked casually.

"I should be asking you that," the Silver Fox said, looking at the three of them. "Why are you in the demon world? This is my territory."

Zhu Yanyi smiled but did not speak. Yan Aohan took out a plate of walnuts and started shelling them. He said as he worked, "Training."

The Silver Fox doubted this answer. "Training? Coming to the demon world for training?"

"Can one not train in the demon world?" Yan Aohan asked back, sounding a bit confrontational.

The Silver Fox thought about it. It made sense. One could indeed train in the demon world. He asked Yan Aohan, "Even if you are training, why settle down here?"

"Settling here is good. If there are sick people, they will come to us automatically. I do not need to worry too much about my wife getting tired." Yan Aohan looked at the Silver Fox and said with a smile.

The Silver Fox looked at Yan Aohan, seeming confused.

Yan Aohan handed the shelled walnuts to Zhu Yanyi, then continued, "My wife is pregnant. Wandering everywhere is not good. Settling here does not affect training, we will not lack patients, and it will not harm her health. It achieves three goals at once. There is nothing bad about it."

Hearing this, the Silver Fox realized Zhu Yanyi was pregnant. He looked her over. "How long has it been?"

"Six years," Zhu Yanyi said with a calm smile. "Actually, I do not feel much yet, but it is better to be safe. So, long-term wandering is not good. Finding a place to settle is a very wise choice."

Hearing "six years," the Silver Fox understood why he had not heard news of Zhu Yanyi’s pregnancy. During this time, one was in the Immortal Realm and the other in the Demon World. It was impossible to have news.

The Silver Fox finished his rose cake, then opened a pack of beef jerky and took a bite. He said as he chewed, "This taste reminds me of my days in the mortal world."

Zhu Yanyi looked at the beef jerky in the Silver Fox’s hand. "You are a fox, yet you eat beef jerky?"

"Nonsense," the Silver Fox glared at Zhu Yanyi. "Do foxes not eat food?"

"Aren’t foxes supposed to eat chickens?" Zhu Yanyi asked curiously.

"That is weasels," Ouyang Tianyun interjected.

The Silver Fox glared at Ouyang Tianyun, then looked at Zhu Yanyi. "You say you have not seen me for how long, but now you have become so willful. This must be Emperor Yan’s fault."

"You are wrong," Zhu Yanyi said with a grin. "My husband truly loves me, you know.

A husband who truly loves her wife will keep all dangers away from her. she will constantly indulge her willfulness and tolerate all her flaws. My husband does exactly this.

Even though he knows I can protect myself and will not suffer hardship, unless necessary, he will not let danger approach me when he is not by my side. Of course, even when he is not with me, he will try hard to push those dangers away, so I can be safer."

Zhu Yanyi paused and looked at the Silver Fox. "Counting it up, you are not single, so why do you not understand this?"

After Zhu Yanyi finished speaking, the Silver Fox was slightly stunned. Then he seemed to think of something. "A true man, if he truly loves his partner, will keep all dangers away from her?"

"Yes. Do you not do this?" Zhu Yanyi looked at the Silver Fox, surprised. "You even came to me specifically to ask for the Soul-Returning Pill. You have paid a lot for Ling Shu."

Ouyang Tianyun was slightly stunned when Zhu Yanyi mentioned Ling Shu, but did not interrupt.

The Silver Fox looked at Zhu Yanyi. After a long while, he said, "I have paid a lot for Ling Shu, but that was what I was willing to do. However, often I feel that many things should be faced by Ling Shu herself."

"That is correct. Actually, sometimes, for matters concerning me, my husband also lets me face them myself. This approach is not wrong," Zhu Yanyi said, noticing the Silver Fox’s unusual expression.

The Silver Fox shook his head. He did not know how to explain this feeling.

She had always been unable to let go of Ling Shu. It was not the kind of deep affection people envied. Instead, it was mostly a sense of guilt toward Ling Shu over a long period.

Ling Shu had actually come to her before, seeking help for Su Wen. Although she had agreed, she arrived late due to certain reasons. Seeing that she had not come, Ling Shu had gone up to help Su Wen on her own. The result was that the sisters, Su Wen and Ling Shu, ended up with one dead and one in a coma.

This became her heart knot. Since she could not save Su Wen, she felt she must at least save Ling Shu. So, she completely changed Ling Shu’s constitution, ensuring she would not die of old age while in a coma. Then she searched everywhere for medicine until she met the reincarnated Su Wen, who was Zhu Yanyi, and obtained the Soul-Returning Pill. After that, she saved Ling Shu.

Actually, the moment Ling Shu woke up, he felt his bottleneck loosen. He might ascend to the Immortal Realm at any time. But he had not chosen to ascend because he could not figure out some issues.

Now, this confusion was even greater. He had always believed his devotion to Ling Shu was because he loved her.

But after hearing about Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan’s relationship, he realized that his feelings for Ling Shu might not be the love he thought it was. Instead, it was more of a guilt, a debt. Because this feeling had occupied his heart for so long, he had mistaken it for love.

But at this moment, he suddenly understood. However, this understanding was not what he wanted, because this clarity likely meant that some truths would come out.
