[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.]
