Suddenly, Tan Yun's expression brightened as he noticed that Yu Yunxi's eyelashes were fluttering and she was slowly opening her beautiful eyes.
"Yunxi, how are you? Do you feel any discomfort?" Tan Yun asked.
"Yunxi, how are you? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Tan Yun asked with concern.
"I'm just a bit dizzy," Yu Yunxi replied, noticing that she was being held by Tan Yun. Her cheeks were tinted with a rosy hue as she softly said, "I'm fine now, please put me down."
"Oh, okay." Tan Yun smiled awkwardly and set Yu Yunxi down. Holding her hand, he continued to fly while asking, "Yunxi, after you fainted, the water below was still just water, nothing unusual."
"But I really saw her," Yu Yunxi's little face turned pale, and her gaze was filled with fear. "I also noticed that she kept watching me and spoke some words to me."
At that moment, the voice echoed in Yu Yunxi's mind. "Xi'er, don't be afraid, I won't harm you. Because you are the only daughter of my sister, the daughter of the demon, and you possess the purest demon blood from the Sea of Demons!"
"Xi'er, remember, you are a demon, not a human. You are the daughter of the daughter of the demon!"
"There will come a day when the demon blood in you will break the seal. I will wait for you in the Forbidden Area of the Sea of Demons!"
Just then, Tan Yun interrupted her thoughts, "Yunxi, what did she say to you?"
"I..." Yu Yunxi shook her head. "I can't remember, my mind is all jumbled."
Yu Yunxi hadn't truly forgotten; she was just worried that she might really be a demon, and that Tan Yun would disdain her for it.
"You're feeling jumbled? Just rest for a bit and don't overthink it," Tan Yun advised kindly.
"Mm." Yu Yunxi nodded slightly and closed her eyes. At that moment, countless questions lingered in her heart:
"She said I'm the daughter of the daughter of the demon, and that she is my aunt. Why did she say that?"
"But that's not right... my mother was once the empress of the Western Continent, how could she be the daughter of the demon?"
"If what she said is true, what is going on?"
Thinking of this, Yu Yunxi made a firm decision. When she returns to the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty, she would ask her master and grandfather to uncover the truth about her origins!
At this moment, Yu Yunxi suspected that if her mother truly was the daughter of the demon, her father emperor could not possibly be unaware, yet he had never mentioned it, which must have a reason.
Thus, she resolved that when she returns to the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty, she would not ask the Western Continent Emperor!
Two hours later, the sky was filled with stars, and the bright moon hung high.
As Yu Yunxi, held by Tan Yun, slowly opened her beautiful eyes, her gaze towards him was complex, filled with a sense of reluctance.
"What's wrong? That look in your eyes seems like we're about to part for life and death," Tan Yun teased.
"Tan Yun, can you answer me a serious question?" Yu Yunxi looked at Tan Yun earnestly.
Seeing Yu Yunxi's serious demeanor, Tan Yun put away his smile. "Go ahead."
"Do you think I'm a good person?" Yu Yunxi asked.
"Silly," Tan Yun replied sincerely. "Of course, you are a good person."
"Then tell me, what kind of person do you think I am?" Yu Yunxi inquired.
Tan Yun thought for a moment and said, "During our journey to the Ancient Fire Prison, the young master of the Elysium Sect coveted your beauty, yet you would rather walk into the fire and face death than lose your purity. That shows you are a strong-willed good woman."
"Although you can be a bit prideful at times, you are kind-hearted, innocent, and intelligent."
"With your beauty, being the most beautiful woman in the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty, Yu Yunxi, I tell you very seriously, you are nearly perfect."
Hearing Tan Yun's praise, Yu Yunxi recalled the rumors that once the demon blood in her body broke the seal, she would become bloodthirsty and turn into a demon, and tears welled up in her beautiful eyes.
"Yunxi, you aren't actually moved to tears, are you?" Tan Yun, knowing that Yu Yunxi was in a bad mood, deliberately teased her. "It can't be, right?"
