Chapter 505

[At eighteen, after three years of effort, Ye Yu successfully broke through a minor realm and reached the late Foundation Establishment stage.]

[At this time, Ye Chenyin and Yue Xing’er were truly at a loss.]

[They tried every method they could think of.]

[Yet Ye Yu’s cultivation showed no significant improvement.]

[It seemed the truth was, he really wasn’t made for it.]

[A few more lines of worry appeared on Ye Chenyin’s originally cold face.]

[Meanwhile, Yue Xing’er began occasionally comforting Ye Yu.]

[It’s okay if you can’t cultivate well; as long as your parents are alive, we’ll ensure you a lifetime of glory and wealth.]

[Just be happy every day, don’t have any worries.]

[To be honest, Yue Xing’er’s mindset was really quite good.]

[And she had nothing but praise for Ye Yu.]

[However, Ye Yu never gave up on himself.]

[Even now, it was still the same.]

[He just lacked one opportunity—one chance to soar.]

[Honestly, after eighteen full years, it wasn’t that Ye Yu deliberately avoided using his dream talents.]

[But over the years, the demons around him were all demon maids.]

[There really weren’t any good attributes on them.]

[In fact, his father and mother both had very good attributes.]

[But Ye Yu didn’t want to bear a reputation for being heartless.]

[Moreover, with Ye Chenyin and Yue Xing’er’s cultivation, even if they stood still and let Ye Yu kill,]

[Ye Yu was powerless.]

[So he always waited for the chance to spread his wings outside.]

[But Yue Xing’er kept blocking him.]

[Claiming the outside world was too dangerous and it was safer to stay in Jiulian City.]

[This reason held Ye Yu back for many years.]

[Finally, on Ye Yu’s nineteenth birthday, he voiced his wish—to travel for three years.]

[When he said this, Yue Xing’er and Ye Chenyin’s faces stiffened.]

[Clearly, they worried about Ye Yu’s safety.]

[After all, Ye Yu was their only child.]

[If anything happened to him, they would go mad.]

[Yue Xing’er gave Ye Chenyin a look.]

[He immediately understood—he was to be the bad guy.]

[Reluctantly, he stood up and was about to speak.]

[But Ye Yu raised his hand to interrupt: “Don’t interfere. I want to talk to mother alone. She was the one blocking me before. I want to hear her opinion now.”]

[Ye Chenyin decisively sat down.]

[In their family, Yue Xing’er was the decision-maker.]

[There were things he really didn’t want to meddle in, nor wanted to be the bad guy.]

[Because Ye Yu was the kind of child who was good at leveraging others’ strength.]

[Ye Chenyin had suffered a lot because of this over the years.]

[So it was safest to watch their interaction.]

[Yue Xing’er, seeing the ball kicked to her side, was also helpless.]

[She again stated that the outside world was too dangerous.]

[If the timing was right, she would naturally let Ye Yu go out.]

[The same generic answer.]

[But this time Ye Yu didn’t plan to obey.]

[He immediately took out a [N O V E L I G H T] cage and placed it on the dining table.]

[He said seriously, “Maybe you think it’s safe here, but I feel like I’m trapped in a cage, with no freedom at all.]

[Are you sure you want to treat me this way forever?”]

[Yue Xing’er looked at the cage on the table and found it reasonable.]

[Keeping Ye Yu trapped here wasn’t right—he was already nineteen.]

[Moreover, the current situation in Juque Prefecture was relatively stable.]

[After much thought, Yue Xing’er finally agreed to let Ye Yu leave the Demon Master’s hall.]

[But only to travel around Jiulian City, absolutely forbidden to enter other Demon Lords’ territories.]

[In addition, Yue Xing’er arranged for a death warrior to personally protect Ye Yu.]

[This death warrior was named Zhao Jia.]

[Mid-stage Profound Demon realm.]

[When Ye Yu first saw him, he couldn’t associate the title of death warrior with him.]

[Because Zhao Jia was extremely fat.]

[Not very tall, he looked like a ball from a distance.]

[Smiling kindly on his face, even gentle.]

[Like a royal chef who had worked in the palace for hundreds of years.]

[But Ye Yu saw three attributes on him.]

[“Eating is a blessing” (Blue): Can quickly heal wounds by consuming large amounts of food.]

[“Swift as the wind” (Green): The outward fatness is just a disguise; his core power is unaffected—this person is fast at everything, everything!]

[“Gifted intelligence” (Green): Highly intelligent, able to see the big picture. Who says fat people don’t have a brilliant mind?]

[To be honest, although Zhao Jia’s attributes weren’t very high-tier,]

[They were all quite practical. Only the “Swift as the wind” attribute’s explanation somehow made people think of other things.]

[Could he really be that fast? Faster than a sniper?]

[After leaving the Demon Master’s city, Zhao Jia smiled and put a plain black robe on Ye Yu.]

[He whispered, “Young master, the Demon Master and Madam mean well. It is indeed dangerous outside, so we should keep a low profile. Let’s wander around for ten or fifteen days, then go back.”]

[Ye Yu agreed easily with his words.]

[But in truth, he was already prepared to disobey orders outside.]

[Zhao Jia couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, his smile growing brighter.]

[This trip was actually just accompanying the prince on a spring outing.]

[The Demon Master Ye Chenyin and Yue Xing’er had long prepared this half-month itinerary.]

[As long as they followed the prescribed route,]

[All demons they met on the way were prearranged by them.]

[Including any incidents or small dangers during the journey, all scripted in advance.]

[It could be said this was a deliberately arranged tour.]

[But no choice—the Demon Master and Madam always put Ye Yu’s safety above all else.]

[Yet they could not always refuse his normal wish to travel.]

[So everything was prepared beforehand.]

[That was why Zhao Jia felt no burden.]

[He happily led Ye Yu northward.]

[Along the way, he told many stories about the culture and history of the Demon Realm.]

[This made Ye Yu once again feel Zhao Jia definitely had the potential to be a scholar—but definitely should have nothing to do with being a death warrior.]

[After some simple complaints, Ye Yu seriously began to observe the demons passing by on the road.]

[Because this was the true meaning of his travels.]
