The young man, dressed like a wealthy young master, looked to be in his early twenties. He was handsome and exuded an air of nobility, unlike an ordinary spoiled brat from a prominent family.
This man is no ordinary person; he is the legitimate son of the Prince of Longhai, and the current heir is named Li Wenbin.
They had just returned from witnessing a divine miracle outside the city when their subordinates told them that two stunningly beautiful women had appeared inside the city.
At first, Li Wenbin didn't take it seriously. After all, what kind of beautiful women hadn't he seen? He was already highly immune to women, and ordinary girls couldn't catch his eye.
"Where are the beauties? Honestly, I just don't understand. What kind of beauties could excite you all like this?" Li Wenbin followed the servants' gaze and looked towards the beach.
However, his expression changed instantly upon seeing it. At first, he didn't believe it, but now he had no choice but to believe it.
"This? This, such a woman should only exist in heaven, rarely seen in the mortal world, wonderful, wonderful indeed." Li Wenbin said in a daze.
"Your Highness, you saw it, didn't you? We didn't lie to you. Shall we go and tie these two sisters up and take them back to the manor? Hehe." The guards of the Prince's manor said with a wicked smile.
Li Wenbin was initially quite pleased, but upon hearing this, he immediately struck the guard's head hard with his folding fan.
"Ouch, Your Highness, why did you hit me?" the guard cried out in pain.
“I’ll hit your pig head! Don’t you even look at yourself? With that kind of aura, could you possibly be from an ordinary family? Just by looking at you, I can tell you’re a cultivator. You might not care about your life, but I do. Believe me or not, if you dare to go looking for trouble, your life will be on its way to the underworld.” Li Wenbin said with a serious expression.
As the heir of the Donghai County Prince's Mansion, he had seen cultivators before. The temperament of cultivators was completely different from that of ordinary people in the mortal world. Having seen them, he was sure he could tell the difference.
Besides, there are cultivators in their royal palace; they just spend their free time cultivating.
"This? A cultivator? No way, she really is a fairy?" The guards were terrified after hearing this.
When they saw Ye Liuyun and Long Lingyun on the street, they had the idea of kidnapping them and taking them back to the palace. Fortunately, they didn't actually do it.
“You ignorant lackeys naturally can’t see it. Ah, although I’m not fortunate enough to enjoy it, watching it from afar is still a kind of enjoyment.” Li Wenbin was quite sensible.
But just as he was enjoying himself, more people came from behind him; this time, they were other noblemen from the city.
They had heard that two beautiful women had come to the city and came to see them, but when they arrived, they saw Li Wenbin leaning on the railing looking at the beach.
"Eh? Your Highness, what are you doing here?" The young men who came over were all surprised.
Li Wenbin glanced at the large group of young men behind him and immediately rolled his eyes.
"Isn't that obvious? Whatever you're doing here, that's what I'm here for. Don't bother me while I'm admiring the beauties," Li Wenbin retorted.
When everyone heard Li Wenbin say that, they immediately felt awkward. Then they walked to the fence and looked towards the beach. What they saw made everyone's eyes widen.
There's no way around it; the beauty of Ye Liuyun and Long Lingyun is truly irresistible to ordinary people.
"These are truly celestial beings, and there are two of them! Beautiful, so incredibly beautiful. If only we could bring them back to our mansion, hehe." Some people's lustful thoughts immediately began to stir.
However, upon hearing this, Li Wenbin immediately raised an eyebrow, turned around, and slapped the guy who had spoken across the face.
That slap woke him up instantly.
"Shut up, don't disturb me while I'm watching the fairy. If you startle her, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish," Li Wenbin warned with a displeased expression.
Li Wenbin's words immediately sobered these people up, and those with lustful intentions no longer dared to utter any words that would blaspheme Ye Liuyun and Long Lingyun.
With so many people suddenly appearing nearby, Ye Liuyun and Long Lingyun must have noticed them immediately, and Ye Liuyun heard their conversation clearly.
"Oh, you've got some insight. You actually figured out we're not ordinary people. This kid's not bad. I thought he was here to abduct a woman." Ye Liuyun said with amusement.
“I was used to this kind of thing when I was in the mortal world. Wherever I went, there were people like this. Every time, I could only teach them a lesson or just ignore them.” Long Lingyun said indifferently.
"Oh? You didn't get angry and kill them?" Ye Liuyun asked, somewhat surprised.
In her opinion, if these people were to resort to violence, Long Lingyun, as a demon, would have no choice but to devour them all in one go.
But Long Lingyun shook her head.
“If I kill people wherever I go, how have I managed to survive in the Eastern Wilderness for so long?” Long Lingyun rolled her eyes at Ye Liuyun.
Lin Qingyou immediately reminded Ye Liuyun.
“Little guy, this little white snake is on the path of a demon immortal. To become a demon immortal, one cannot eat humans or other demon beasts. There is no demonic aura on her body because she mainly cultivates by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. She is a very rare little demon,” Lin Qingyou said.
Ye Liuyun was stunned when he heard Lin Qingyou's words. No wonder the person in front of him didn't seem to have any monster-like aura; it was as if he had never eaten any other living beings.
In her mind, weren't monsters just people who cultivated by devouring other living beings?
"You can cultivate like this? I've never heard of it before," Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.
“You used to be human, not a demon, so it has nothing to do with you. Demons can be evil or good. Those who cultivate by devouring other living beings are basically evil demons, and they will exude a strong demonic aura. However, those who cultivate by devouring the power of heaven and earth are good demons. Their cultivation path is more difficult and closer to the cultivation method of humans, but at the same time, they are much stronger than evil demons,” Lin Qingyou explained.
Ye Liuyun was taken aback, then said somewhat speechlessly.
"Then what about my demonic body? I've eaten so many demons, so wouldn't I be an evil demon?" Ye Liuyun said with a displeased expression.
But Lin Qingyou still shook her head.
"Those who cultivate by devouring living beings will have obvious demonic energy. The more they devour, the stronger the demonic energy becomes. It doesn't necessarily mean they are bad demons. Just like humans, good and evil are just a thought away. Besides, the vast majority of demons cultivate by devouring living beings."
“On the contrary, those monsters who cultivate by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth are actually the outliers of the demon race. I roughly understand why she stopped staying in their demon territory; she was probably rejected by the demon race of the Eastern Wilderness,” Lin Qingyou said.
Ye Liuyun was taken aback, then looked at Long Lingyun.
"You... you've never eaten any other living creatures?"
These words startled Long Lingyun, who had been relatively calm. He looked up at Ye Liuyun in disbelief.
"How...how did you figure that out?"
"My God, no wonder you looked so homesick but afraid to go back. I understand now, you're an unconventional demon cultivator from the demon race." Ye Liuyun said in surprise.
Long Lingyun was clearly embarrassed when she heard this. She was not proud of herself for not eating other living beings; on the contrary, she was obviously somewhat inferior.
This kind of thing might be seen as a positive thing by humans, but in the eyes of the demon race, Long Lingyun is a freak or an anomaly.
Although Long Lingyun is known as the Demon King of the Eastern Wilderness, this is only a title based on her strength. In fact, many races in the Eastern Wilderness Demon Realm do not recognize Long Lingyun's identity.
They believe that Long Lingyun is doing this in order to integrate into the human world and is a traitor to the demon race.
Ever since she told the powerful members of various demon races hundreds of years ago that she wanted to enter the human world to learn human civilization and cultivation, she has been despised by all the major demon races.
However, Long Lingyun only wanted to find a better path forward for the demon race, but the demon race could not understand her good intentions.
She was like a wise woman among a group of wild beasts; her views and opinions were too unique to be recognized by the other demons.
If she hadn't fallen out with the demons of the Eastern Wilderness, she could have returned to her own habitat to undergo her tribulation, where many powerful demons guarded the place, making it impossible for human experts to get close.
However, when Long Lingyun tried to return for the first time, they stopped her and forbade her from returning to the demon race's habitat in the East China Sea Islands.
The demons from other regions also rejected her as soon as they saw that she had no demonic aura.
Despite Long Lingyun's great power, in this matter, she was like a demon king betrayed by the demon race.
It's sad, but it's also normal; the truth often fails to gain recognition from others.
For example, if someone suggests that righteous cultivators should be more inclusive and not be too resistant to those cultivators with special methods, this statement sounds reasonable, but it has very low acceptance in the cultivation world.
In the eyes of humans, evil paths are more detestable than demons. If a demon and an evil path appear before them at the same time, they would rather kill the evil path first and then the demon.
Because monsters are enemies, there's no doubt about that. But in their eyes, evil cultivators and heretics are outcasts among immortal cultivators, traitors who have betrayed the path of immortality, and should be killed.
"Am I ridiculous? I'm clearly a monster, yet I choose to walk this non-demon path. I'm the Demon King of the Eastern Wilderness, but I'm not recognized by the demon race. Many times, I even feel like a fool myself." Long Lingyun said with a self-deprecating expression.
Seeing Long Lingyun's sorrowful expression, Ye Liuyun could hardly understand that Long Lingyun had walked a very difficult path.
"I think you made the right choice. You have to believe in your choice. It would be truly ironic if you even thought you made the wrong choice," Ye Liuyun comforted Long Lingyun.
Long Lingyun originally thought that Ye Liuyun would also mock her for this, but she did not expect that Ye Liuyun would not laugh at her, but instead comforted her.
Just that one sentence made this nearly ten-thousand-year-old monster lose her composure for a moment.
She looked at Ye Liuyun and suddenly felt like crying, or rather, she really wanted to burst into tears.
Because Ye Liuyun was the first person to encourage her.
As long as a person has self-awareness, they have feelings. Once they have feelings, they are not made of iron; it's just that their inner pain hasn't been touched yet.
However, Long Lingyun held back, but Ye Liuyun could tell that Long Lingyun was suffering in her heart.
In fact, she was thinking at the time why this dignified demon king of the Eastern Wilderness had fallen to such a state, and was even surrounded and killed by human cultivators while undergoing tribulation.
After all, in her mind, if a demon king were to undergo tribulation, he should be protected by many powerful demons.
The case is now solved; it turns out that this so-called demon king is not recognized by the demon race at all.
Ye Liuyun had never felt genuine sympathy for a stranger, let alone a demon, but after learning about Long Lingyun's ordeal, she truly felt sorry for her.
She suddenly felt a deep sense of guilt for treating a pure white and clean monster this way.
Chapter 439 Getting to Know the Crown Prince (5000 words)
Just as Ye Liuyun and Long Lingyun were having a pleasant conversation, Jiang Wanshan was transforming into an envoy of the God of Abundance, sowing food throughout the Tang Kingdom.
He flew high in the sky, constantly using plant growth pills, and wherever he went, a large number of fruit trees, as well as various vegetables and rice grew on the ground, plunging the people of the Eastern Wilderness into a dreamlike state.
The sudden appearance of so much food on this land has just solved their current food shortage problem. For ordinary people, wherever there is food and water, they can settle down.
As for these rebel kings who opposed the imperial court, they had nothing to do with them; they just wanted to live.
Jiang Wanshan looked at the people on the ground, kneeling and thanking God with tears in their eyes, clutching the fruit, and felt deeply moved.
"Just who is our Lord? Even those of us at the Nascent Soul stage cannot accomplish this, yet she can do it with ease. This one person has saved the entire mortal world of the Eastern Wilderness."
Jiang Wanshan tried to guess Ye Liuyun's identity, but unfortunately, no matter how he tried, he could never figure it out.
No one would believe that Ye Liuyun is an ordinary person. In fact, she is not an ordinary person at all. Ye Liuyun is a true god living in the world.
This is not an exaggeration at all; even immortals can die, but Ye Liuyun will not.
Back to Ye Liuyun and Long Lingyun, the two had already talked a lot on the beach. Perhaps sensing Ye Liuyun's kindness and understanding, Long Lingyun's hostility towards her lessened considerably.
At least Ye Liuyun is much more pleasing to the eye than before.
"Hey! Your Highness, are you really just going to stand there and not go up and strike up a conversation?"
Many of the noblemen around Li Wenbin wanted to approach him and chat, but they didn't dare to because Li Wenbin was there.
"Why are you asking me? If you want to go, then go. But if anything happens, you'll be responsible for the consequences." Li Wenbin was too lazy to say anything to these guys.
The mortal court strictly forbade the dissemination of information about cultivators, and only a few officials knew about it.
The mortal world is frequently plagued by demons. If mortals and cultivators had no connection whatsoever, the mortals would have been devoured by demons long ago.
"This? Your Highness, you allow me to strike up a conversation?" A young man, his heart itching with barely suppressed excitement, asked with a wicked grin.
The moment Li Wenbin saw the man's expression, he felt like vomiting. He thought to himself, "How could someone as beautiful as a celestial being be associated with clowns like you?"
However, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he had thought of something interesting and good.
"I'm just saying, don't disturb me while I'm admiring the fairy. What you're doing is none of my business. Don't bother me. If anything happens, don't come looking for me. It's none of my concern."
Li Wenbin waved his hand, telling him to get away from him quickly.
This person is really driven by lust, not thinking at all. Even Li Wenbin didn't dare to approach them, so where did they get the courage?
However, this guy is a true playboy, with no knowledge or understanding. In this war-torn era, he spends his days indulging in pleasure, so don't expect him to have any brains.
Seeing that Li Wenbin didn't stop him, the man immediately smiled and led his men towards Ye Liuyun and Long Lingyun's location. His eagerness disgusted Li Wenbin even more.
"Ready? If these guys dare to offend these two fairies, throw them all into the sea to feed the fish." After watching them run away, Li Wenbin immediately signaled to his subordinates.
The guards were taken aback. They couldn't understand what Li Wenbin was up to. He was tacitly allowing others to flirt with him while simultaneously trying to make them look bad.
"Yes, Your Highness." The guards nodded hurriedly.
Upon hearing this, the noble scions behind Li Wenbin changed their expressions. They all looked at the guy who had just run past with sympathy, knowing that he was in for trouble.
Ye Liuyun and Long Lingyun also noticed the guy running towards them.
"Hey! Look, here comes the blind fool. I thought they had brains, but it seems some people don't." Ye Liuyun shrugged at Long Lingyun.
"Let's see what they're up to first. If it's just a casual flirtation, we can ignore them. But if they try to get physical, we can beat them up, but we shouldn't kill them. Mortals are very fragile," Long Lingyun said.
Ye Liuyun was taken aback again. In this respect, she couldn't compare to Long Lingyun. She considered herself kind enough, but compared to Long Lingyun, she was far inferior.
The young man quickly came to their side.
"Haha, ladies, I am Lou Shanhe from the Lou family of Donghai City. It's dangerous for you to play here without guards. I've heard that monsters often come ashore and hurt people. Why don't you come and sit at my Lou family's house? In these chaotic times, it's not appropriate for young ladies to wander around like this." The young man surnamed Lou said with a sly smile.
Ye Liuyun was speechless when he heard the way this guy was trying to pick them up. He clearly wanted to forcibly take them away, but he had to talk a lot of nonsense. It would have been better to be more decisive.
"Sorry, my sister and I don't need to accompany you. Young master, you should go do what you need to do." Ye Liuyun rolled her eyes.
Long Lingyun, standing to the side, stared blankly at the sea, not even glancing at the guy.
Seeing that Ye Liuyun had directly refused, Lou Shanhe decided not to waste any more time and immediately changed his expression.
