Wen Xiao’ai had heard these kinds of words from Brother Ye Qi before, but very rarely.
In the past, it was only when she acted too outrageously that Ye Qi would use such words to scare her, but he was never truly angry.
When the Clan Leader grandmother punished her, it was always Ye Qi who would plead for mercy and take the punishment in her place.
But this time, he seemed genuinely angry.
Wen Xiao’ai suddenly panicked.
Because she had never seen Ye Qi angry before.
"Brother Ye Qi, don’t be mad at Xiao’ai. He’s really, really good, and he truly cares for Xiao’ai. He even saved Xiao’ai. Xiao’ai really likes him and wants to be with him, please don’t be ."
Wen Xiao’ai thought it would be like before; no matter what the issue was, a bit of playfulness would fix everything, but this time was clearly different.
"Brother Ye Qi can indulge you in anything, but not this."
"Brother Ye Qi, you care about Xiao’ai the most, don’t be ~"
She was full of joy and anticipation, yet she never imagined she would face opposition from one of the most important people in her life before even stepping through the gates of the Demon Realm.
Wen Xiao’ai felt indescribable discomfort and blockage in her heart.
"I’ll say it again, come home with Brother Ye Qi, and I’ll pretend you never said these words."
"Xiao’ai is not a child. She has the right to decide whom to marry and what to do. ’Not allowed’ isn’t your call to make."
Jun Moyan, who had been silent on the side, spoke up.
He couldn’t bear to see Wen Xiao’ai’s aggrieved, pleading appearance.
He also couldn’t stand that Wen Xiao’ai was pleading, for him, no less, to Ye Qi.
"Jun Moyan, don’t speak recklessly..." Wen Xiao’ai, already anxious, grew even more desperate at Jun Moyan’s words.
Afraid that the relationship between Jun Moyan and Ye Qi would sour.
Jun Moyan’s words were like a fuse, igniting Ye Qi, who was already on the brink of anger.
"It’s not your place, an outsider, to preach about how I discipline Xiao’ai. It’s not just me—no one in the clan will agree. Humans and Demons being together goes against the heavenly laws and ethics, inviting condemnation and punishment from all realms. Can any of you bear such consequences?"
As Ye Qi spoke, his eyes were filled with pain and concern.
"If you truly care about her, you shouldn’t harm her."
Jun Moyan was stunned.
He knew there were many obstacles between the two of them, that even if the heavens were kind enough to let them be together, there would always be a day of separation.
But he never thought that the obstacles would extend beyond just her clan members.
Jun Moyan looked at Wen Xiao’ai, and his heart suddenly panicked, his hand holding hers trembling slightly.
Feeling Jun Moyan’s hand shaking, Wen Xiao’ai looked at him.
The fear in his eyes made Wen Xiao’ai afraid too.
She feared that Jun Moyan wouldn’t want her.
"You’re lying, there’s nothing wrong. I’m with Jun Moyan every day, and there’s no negative consequence."
"Humans and Demons can’t be together. You won’t be able to overcome the future Heavenly Tribulations."
Ye Qi was anxious, unable to maintain his usual composure.
Wen Xiao’ai pulled her hand abruptly from Ye Qi’s and tightly hugged Jun Moyan’s waist, her face full of stubbornness and defiance.
"I don’t care, I just want Jun Moyan."
She didn’t care about the Heavenly Tribulations or anything else.
"Xiao’ai, if you continue this recklessness, don’t blame Brother Ye Qi if he takes action."
Seeing the situation turning bad, Wen Xiao’ai took Jun Moyan and disappeared into the forest in a flash. Follow current novels on novel·fıre·net
Ye Qi stood in place, watching in the direction where the two had left, with no intention of pursuing them.
