Ao Qian said quietly, "That's the situation now. I can hide it for a while, but not forever. I can't have any offspring."
"You can't say things so soon. I think the reason you're like this is because what happened in Huailin was too traumatic for you. You'll get better after a while... I'll try not to hang around you and let you calm down..."
"But haven't you heard? What you can't have, you miss the most." Aoqian's direct gaze suddenly left Song Xiwei speechless.
"Don't be afraid. I'm not saying I'm going to do anything to you. You don't like men, and I can't force you to do anything just because of my own feelings. You are my most trusted subordinate and my best partner who has been through thick and thin with me. I will respect you."
After saying this, Aoqian breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Song Xie was visibly relaxed.
He smiled and said, "By the way, you can continue to live here."
Song Xi looked at him with a hint of doubt.
Ao Qian said, "Don't misunderstand, I will be leaving Chidu for a while soon."
"Where are you going? Your injuries haven't healed yet..."
Seeing Song Xiwei's tense expression, Ao Qian said nonchalantly, "Why are you so silly? What's a little injury? I'm the Demon Lord, how could I be so fragile? In the whole world, you're probably the only one who thinks I'm made of paper. Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."
"What do you mean? You're leaving on your own? Without me?" Song Xiwei's face darkened. Not long ago, Aoqian had been clinging to her, wanting her to take him with her because he was worried that she was leaving Chidu to interfere in the affairs of cultivators and the human world.
But now, it's clear that Aoqian is going to act alone.
Aoqian seemed quite surprised that Song Xiwei would question him like that.
He said with some mixed feelings, "Didn't you say that I need to separate from you to calm down in my current state? I think your suggestion is good. So, to be on the safe side, I've decided to leave Chidu for a while. I'll come back once I've calmed down. Until then, the elders will handle Chidu's internal affairs. Don't worry, they won't leave you with a mess. Just continue as you always have. Don't worry about me."
Song Xiwei was very unhappy.
What Aoqian said seemed to be in line with his own opinion.
But I just couldn't believe things were so simple.
"Which branch of the demon race are you going to?" Song Xiwei asked.
Ao Qian paused for a moment, then shook his head. "It should be further away."
Song Xiwei: "!!!"
Seeing that Song Xiwei remained silent, Aoqian said, "Then, you should rest well first. I will go and explain to the elders that I will no longer be in Chidu by tomorrow at the latest. You can get a good night's sleep tonight."
"Stop right there!" Song Xiwei blocked Ao Qian's path.
Aoqian looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Are you hiding something from me? If it was just to avoid me and calm down, you wouldn't need to go to this lengths. Is there some other reason? Your solo actions this time, is it because..."
"Don't overthink it. I'll come back once everything settles down. These past two years have been restrictive and uncomfortable for you. Now that I'm not around, you can do whatever you want. There won't be any more sycophants following you around and making you unhappy. Isn't that better?"
Song Xiwei felt a pang in her heart.
She did indeed feel hesitant because of her recent interactions with Aoqian.
But she never considered those two years a burden.
She disagreed with what Aoqian said.
"Tell the truth! Stop beating around the bush, where exactly are you going after leaving Chidu? And what do you plan to do on your own?"
As Song Xiwei pressed him for answers, Aoqian knew that Song Xiwei was not the kind of person who could be easily evaded.
She may seem a bit simple-minded at times, but she is actually incredibly intelligent.
He seemed to have covered it up, but if she thought about it carefully, she would realize that what he did was not so simple.
