Chapter 214 The Demon Lord has two faces
In the dim and solemn hall of the Demon Palace, the flickering candlelight illuminates the Demon Lord's chiseled face.
She seemed to feel the subtle fluctuations in the air, as well as Shen Yue's inner uneasiness and doubts, so she slightly opened her red lips.
There was unquestionable majesty and tenderness in her voice: "Shen Yue, you just need to do your best to find my sister, and don't worry too much. I will handle your identity in Qingyun Sect properly and make sure you won't be put in a dilemma."
Shen Yue felt warm in his heart when he heard this, but then a complex emotion surged up in him.
She didn't understand why the Demon Lord was so caring towards her, and she didn't know when she had formed an indissoluble bond with this powerful and mysterious Demon Lord.
However, faced with the Demon Lord's promise, she could only temporarily suppress her doubts and nodded in agreement.
At this time, Uncle Yun stood aside, his face full of confusion and curiosity.
His eyes shuttled back and forth between the Demon Lord and Shen Yue, trying to catch a clue from their conversation.
However, the words of the Demon Lord were concise and powerful, and did not reveal much information, which made him wonder in his heart: "When and where did this Demon Lord accept such a Demon Sect disciple? Moreover, how is this Qingyun Sect disciple related to the Demon Lord? Guangxi? What place name is this, and how is it related to the matter at hand?"
Although Uncle Yun had many doubts in his mind, he was well aware of his identity and position and did not dare to ask questions easily.
He just stood there silently, observing everything in front of him with his eyes that had experienced many vicissitudes of life.
He noticed that although the Demon Lord did not directly call Shen Yue "sister" when he mentioned her, his concern and care were evident in his words, which made him more convinced that Shen Yue held a special position in the Demon Lord's heart.
As for Shen Yue herself, although she had doubts about the identity and intentions of the Demon Lord, she was more grateful and fortunate.
In this world where the strong are respected, being able to receive the protection of the Demon Lord is undoubtedly her greatest luck.
Shen Yue was worried about his companions from Qingyun Sect, and a look of anxiety unconsciously appeared on his face.
She bit her lower lip lightly, mustered up her courage, and said to the Demon Lord beside her: "My Lord Demon Lord, I... I want to go back early. My companions are still waiting for me." Although her voice was soft, it revealed a firmness that could not be ignored.
Upon hearing this, the Demon Lord's eyes fell gently on Shen Yue, as if he could see through all the worries and concerns in her heart.
He smiled slightly, and that smile showed both understanding and doting: "Okay, I'll take you back." The brief words were like a spring breeze, which instantly dissipated most of the tension and uneasiness in Shen Yue's heart.
Following the guidance of the Demon Lord, the two soon arrived at the gate of Qingyun Sect.
Shen Yue looked at the familiar and friendly sect scene, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
However, just as she was about to step into the sect, a faint cry caught her attention.
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of ragged orphans huddled in a corner outside the sect. Some of them were sitting or lying down, their eyes filled with helplessness and longing.
Those young faces are filled with the hardships and vicissitudes of life, which makes people feel pity.
Shen Yue's heart suddenly tightened, and she immediately stopped, her eyes full of sympathy and pity.
She turned to look at the Demon Lord and was about to ask for help, but she saw that the Demon Lord had already taken action before her.
The Demon Lord waved his sleeves lightly, and a bright light surged out from his palm, turning into a pile of crystal clear spirit stones, which fell steadily in front of the orphans.
Those spirit stones emitted a soft light, illuminating the orphans' dull eyes and warming their cold and desperate hearts.
"Take it, children. These spiritual stones can allow you to live a peaceful life."
The Demon Lord's voice was deep and magnetic, full of unquestionable power.
His words were like a gentle spring breeze, nourishing the orphans' dry hearts.
