During his time at Yingning Mountain,
Father Ye Chuang and Mother Lü Hongying kept mentioning matchmaking for Ye Yu.
But every time, he decisively refused.
When he heard they planned to bring someone over,
Ye Yu outright rejected it on the spot, claiming that if they forced him to marry, he would immediately run away from home.
It was this persistence that made Ye Chuang give up the idea of bringing a demon home for matchmaking.
Still, Ye Chuang and Lü Hongying repeated the same phrases by Ye Yu’s ear daily, like a relentless mantra—things like “Only with a family is there happiness.”
Ye Yu got tired of hearing it all the time.
This was one of the real reasons why he wanted to leave.
But now, things seemed a bit different.
Honestly, if the woman before him was the matchmaking candidate they arranged,
it wasn’t so unacceptable.
At least she looked good.
When the woman met Ye Yu’s gaze, her eyes showed no hesitation but responded confidently.
However, she soon frowned slightly, as if recalling something.
The two demons stared at each other for a long time, neither speaking first.
Finally, Ye Yu broke the silence.
“You’re the matchmaking candidate my father Ye Chuang found...”
At this point, Ye Yu hesitated.
Calling her a “matchmaking candidate” felt too cliché, and since he couldn’t tell what kind of demon she was, he wasn’t sure how to address her.
Fortunately, she didn’t mind and just nodded lightly.
Hmm, looks like Ye Chuang really did find the matchmaking candidate.
Honestly, that old fellow did a pretty good job with this.
If only he had arranged such a high-quality candidate before, Ye Yu wouldn’t have resisted so much.
But truth be told, Ye Yu didn’t really understand matchmaking.
Especially in the demon world, how does one even start a match between demons?
Just as Ye Yu was pondering, the woman softly said, “Begin!”
Then she raised her right hand and placed it in front of Ye Yu.
Looking at her pure white hand,
Ye Yu raised an eyebrow.
“Begin? Begin the matchmaking, huh?”
But what did the hand gesture mean?
Could it be that there was a handshake custom in the demon world?
Uh, no, maybe not a handshake—palms facing each other, hands together?
Ye Yu instinctively raised his hand and pressed his palm against hers.
This action caused the woman to suddenly stiffen, then quickly step back two paces, her expression icy.
“How dare you!”
Her reaction puzzled Ye Yu even more.
“Hey, you reached out first, so why am I the one being rude?”
He was very displeased and was about to argue back.
Just then, Ye Chuang, Lü Hongying, and Ye Wanqing walked in.
When they saw the scene inside, their smiles instantly vanished.
They quickly cupped their hands toward the woman and bowed.
“Greetings, Your Majesty!”
Ye Yu’s expression turned strange.
He said instinctively, “Your Majesty? Not the matchmaking candidate you arranged for me?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Chuang and Lü Hongying immediately went pale.
Ye Wanqing even jumped up and covered Ye Yu’s mouth.
She smiled bitterly at the woman, “Your Majesty, please forgive him. My brother has been under great stress lately and often talks nonsense. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Ye Yu: “Ugh! Ugh ugh!”
After introductions from his family, Ye Yu learned that this woman was the current Demon King of Yingning Mountain, Luo Ning.
By fate, she had arrived at Yingning Mountain not long before Ye Yu—only a few days earlier.
She was very kind and cared for the Ye family.
Because Ye Chuang actively told her about Yingning Mountain’s affairs, not only was she promoted to captain of the second patrol team,
she also willingly agreed to Ye Chuang’s request.
What request?
Naturally, to examine Ye Yu’s health.
Until now, seeing Ye Yu’s white hair had been very distressing for Ye Chuang and Lü Hongying.
They often prepared various tonics for him to take.
But no matter how much he took, his white hair would not change.
This troubled Ye Chuang deeply, so he reluctantly asked Demon King Luo Ning to personally check Ye Yu’s body and see where the problem was, hoping for a remedy.
Originally, she was scheduled to come in the evening.
Unexpectedly, Luo Ning came earlier.
Upon seeing Ye Yu’s white hair, she immediately identified the target.
She also mentioned Ye Chuang.
She instinctively thought Ye Yu knew about this, so she raised her right hand, preparing to use demon power to examine him.
But who expected Ye Yu to directly press his palm against hers?
That was truly a very bold move!
After hearing Ye Chuang and Ye Wanqing’s explanation,
Ye Yu felt extremely embarrassed.
He whispered, “Why didn’t you communicate such a big thing with me beforehand? I thought this was the matchmaking candidate you arranged for me!”
Hearing this, Ye Wanqing looked at him with a complicated expression.
“Brother, we wanted to tell you in advance, but you disappeared since yesterday.”
“And forget matchmaking for now—no one would come after hearing about your white hair.”
“But don’t be too sad. We’re working hard to treat it and hope to turn your hair back golden.”
Ye Yu had a black line across his forehead.
“Fine, that did hurt a bit.”
“But honestly, white hair is just as handsome as blond! Don’t be so unappreciative, okay?”
Ye Yu gave Ye Wanqing a plaintive look, then didn’t bother explaining further.
After so long living with them, he realized their ears were like soundproof filters—they wouldn’t listen to any explanations.
So, no use wasting effort.
Ye Yu turned to Demon King Luo Ning, deciding to take her as a breakthrough point.
“Your Majesty, what happened just now was a misunderstanding. How about we move somewhere else, and you help me check my body?”
Luo Ning frowned slightly, clearly not understanding why Ye Yu wanted to change location.
But in the end, she agreed.
“Okay!”
Her reply was concise, not a word more.
Seeing her agree, Ye Yu led her to the mountaintop.
He did not hide his cultivation.
A surging demon power immediately swept the area, bringing the terrifying pressure unique to mid-Earth Demon Realm.
This caused Luo Ning to feel twice the pressure.
It should be known that the new Demon King of Yingning Mountain was only in the late Profound Demon Realm.
