"After I tell the Clan Leader grandma about this, I’ll come back for you," Jun Moyan said.
"You said you sneaked out, will your clan even let you leave again?"
Wen Xiao’ai fell silent at Jun Moyan’s words.
Indeed, she had sneaked out. How could Clan Leader grandma and Brother Ye Qi possibly let her leave the Demon Clan again?
"...But I can’t just not go back," she lamented.
"They’ll be worried about me, and the people from the Demon Clan are always in the Human Realm. I can’t handle them alone. If we don’t get Clan Leader grandma and the others to handle this, you and I will both be in danger," she explained.
"Aren’t they after me?" Jun Moyan asked.
After saying that, Jun Moyan realized he had misspoken.
Indeed, because they were targeting him, Xiaoguai could also be in danger, couldn’t she?
"Jun Moyan, Clan Leader grandma loves me dearly. She used to forbid me from coming to the Human Realm because she was afraid I’d cause trouble here, afraid I’d have no one to look after me. Knowing that you are here to take care of me, she wouldn’t stop me," Wen Xiao’ai said as she clutched at his clothes.
"And what about Ye Qi?" Jun Moyan countered.
"...Ye, Brother Ye Qi, Brother Ye Qi as well," Wen Xiao’ai said, suddenly losing confidence.
Brother Ye Qi was sometimes just like Jun Moyan, forbidding her from doing this or that, always trying to control her.
The difference was that Brother Ye Qi would immediately try various ways to cheer her up after saying no, whereas Jun Moyan mostly waited for her to become upset before gradually coaxing her.
Seeing Wen Xiao’ai’s reaction, Jun Moyan became frustrated.
With her being so naive, how could he rest assured letting her go back to the Demon Clan alone, especially with her coming of age in just over half a month? What if her family arranged a marriage for her with Ye Qi and she still naively called him "Brother Ye Qi"? Thɪs chapter is updated by noveⅼfire.net
Wen Xiao’ai stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Jun Moyan’s waist, and pressed her cheek against his chest, saying, "Jun Moyan, I definitely need to return to the Demon Clan, not just because of the Demon Clan issues, but also because of you. I want to introduce you to Clan Leader grandma, let all my friends know about you. I still need to tell Clan Leader grandma that there’s someone in the Human Realm who cherishes me deeply, that I really, really like you. I also want to marry you and be with you forever."
Jun Moyan raised his hands to embrace her, one hand cupping the back of her head, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"Then I’ll go back with you."
"Huh?" Wen Xiao’ai stepped back from his embrace, her face tilted upward to look at him: "Are you saying you’ll come back to the Demon Clan with me?"
"Yes, it’s improper for an elder to have to come meet a younger one; it would leave a bad impression on her," he explained.
Actually, that wasn’t the main point. He was just afraid that if Wen Xiao’ai left, she might not be able to come back, and he was worried about Ye Qi possibly harboring feelings for her.
"Yay!" Jun Moyan accompanying her back to the Demon Clan was something Wen Xiao’ai had dreamed of.
But her excitement only lasted for a second before her face fell.
"But I’m not sure if I can bring you with me."
"We won’t know unless we try," he replied.
"What if we can’t?" she asked.
"I trust you," he said confidently.
His Xiaoguai was so clever; she would surely find a way to take him back to the Demon Clan with her.
"Okay, then when the time comes, we’ll go to the Holy City together, and I’ll definitely bring you back to the Demon Clan," she promised.
"I want to introduce all my friends to you. I also want to take you to Qin Mountain and show you many other places. We have lots of delicious food in the Demon Clan," Wen Xiao’ai said, beaming with happiness at the thought.
