"you……"
“Don’t interrupt!” Yun Che’s expression became serious, and he continued quickly, “Aren’t you too great? You have been fighting against the Huai Palace for a whole hundred years despite your declining power, and your family and the palace have been betrayed for selfish reasons… Although everything seems to be calm, I know very well that with the Ming King behind the scenes, your ability to protect the last dignity of the demon royal family for a whole hundred years is already the most remarkable thing in the history of the Illusory Demon Realm! Every day during this period must have been filled with difficulties, pressures, and dangers that ordinary people cannot imagine…”
"After escaping death from the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley, the first thing I did was revenge, but I also took on the blood debt of the nine clans of the Huai Palace alone! Although the Huai Palace is guilty of unforgivable crimes, more than half of the nine clans involved are ignorant and innocent people, but they have to be killed! For a truly decisive emperor, killing would be at ease. But for you who can't be ruthless and cold-blooded, you will definitely put yourself in a long-term dark depression because of those innocent women and children who died tragically under your orders. This is why I went to find you every day after that, and even used various methods to tease you and offend you... I can't share your burden, so I can only use this method to distract you, hoping that you can get out of it as soon as possible and forgive yourself."
Little Demon Queen: “…”
"Don't think these are just my conjectures. I know very well how it feels to have to implicate many innocent people and let them be buried with me! Because I have done the same thing, and the innocent people implicated by my poisonous hands are far more than you! Although I have done too many similar things later and have become completely numb, but the first time... that kind of gloomy, depressed, and painful feeling, I will never forget it in my life! And you, although you have killed many people with your own hands during your hundred years in power, but I have carefully checked that none of these people are innocent. This time, you have exterminated the nine clans of King Huai for the first time in your life... What you will endure after that, perhaps no one in the entire Illusory Demon Realm knows, but I know it very well!"
"It's not that they can't think of it, but they won't think about it. Because they care about the results and their own future, and I care about you!"
“Before entering the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley, everything I did for you, including confronting Prince Huai head-on and risking my life to save you, was all for my deceased grandfather, my parents, and my family! At that time, you only had one identity to me… the Little Demon Queen! I believe that my heart is higher than the sky and my bones are harder than rocks. I will never be loyal to anyone, but for the sake of my grandfather’s legacy and the safety of my family, I was loyal to you to the utmost extent at that time!”
“But after we came out of the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley, everything I did to you had nothing to do with the three words ‘Little Demon Queen’. Instead, I cared about you as a person! I cared about everything about you… I even began to hate your identity as the ‘Little Demon Queen’! Because it made you suffer and tired, and it made it extremely difficult for me to care about you, or even to get close to you and help you!”
"..." The Little Demon Queen's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.
"'Little Demon Queen' is your identity, and it is also the fate you are forced to bear after the death of the Little Demon Emperor. You have to shoulder the final dignity and glory of your Demon Emperor Clan. Although I hate this heavy burden falling on you, no one, including me, has the right to interfere with anything you do, any decision, or any sacrifice you make for the Demon Emperor Clan... Even if you only have three years left, you still don't live for yourself, but for the Demon Emperor Clan."
“But, between you and me, what you did to me… something like this that concerns me, I have the right to be indignant, right?” Yun Che frowned and said, “You clearly care about me, so why do you have to show me such disdain, and sometimes even disgust! Don’t try to deny it. Maybe you think you have covered it up perfectly… If it were someone else, they would have already avoided you. But in my eyes, everything you do is just an attempt to cover up something!”
"The pill you destroyed in front of me that day... was not the one I gave you at all! I know the ingredients of that pill a thousand times better than you do, and my sense of smell for medicine is ten thousand times more sensitive than yours. Although the pill you took out was the one I gave you, what you burned was just an ordinary Qingxin Pill! All your anger, scolding, the so-called defilement of your bloodline, and the burning of it in front of me were just because you felt sorry for me, afraid that I would do something to damage my own blood for you again."
"During that time, I went to see you every day. Although you were always cold and indifferent, you never drove me away without even seeing me. But a month ago, you did this... Because you saw me and Su Zhixi at the Yun family that day, and you must have heard the conversation about me and Su Zhixi in my family, so you were depressed and irritated! If you didn't care about me, how could this happen!"
"You are scary smart sometimes, but when it comes to relationships between men and women, you are so stupid that you are not even as good as a teenage girl!"
Yun Che’s chest rose and fell, and his voice became heavier: “Don’t think that I don’t know what you’ve been thinking in your heart! Do you think that your identity, your age, and your relationship with me, if known to the world, will have a huge impact on my reputation? Make me bear endless doubts? Then you underestimate me, Yun Che! When I first came to Monster King City, I dared to completely tear my face with the huge Huai Wang forces. I don’t think I would care about the doubts and looks of those vulgar people?”
“Do you think that you only have three years left to live, so you are not qualified to have feelings…Are you afraid that you will become a burden to me!?” Yun Che suddenly stepped forward. The Little Demon Queen was distracted when he grabbed her shoulders. A moment of confusion flashed in her pupils. Yun Che continued to shout in a low voice: “Do you think that if you just reject me thousands of miles away, I will stop thinking about you. After three years, I will not be sad because of your death, and I will not be heartbroken afterwards? You are too naive…”
"Little Demon Queen, I tell you, from the day we left Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley together, I have decided that you can only be my woman in this life! It has nothing to do with your identity, just because you are you! Also, I care about you, and it has nothing to do with whether you care about me or pretend not to care about me! If my feelings for you change so easily, then I am not qualified to be your man, Little Demon Queen! If you can be honest with me about your feelings, so that I can enter your world... After three years, if I am really incompetent... and fail to save your life, at least, every time I think of you, it is a short but eternal beauty. And if you keep forcing yourself to be indifferent to me like this, or even not see each other again in these three years... Then, all that will be left for me is a lifetime of regret and depression! You think you are suppressing yourself for my own good, but in fact, you are suffering yourself and me, do you understand!"
The Little Demon Empress’ eyes flickered, and her body swayed slightly. She had already broken free from Yun Che’s hands, and staggered back a few steps.
“Little Demon Queen…” Yun Che stared directly into her eyes. From her somewhat confused look, he knew that his words had already entered her heart. “I also know that you tried hard to exclude me because you wanted to protect the reputation of the Demon Emperor family, especially the Little Demon Emperor, because you are the Little Demon Emperor’s queen after all… As long as you don’t want to, I won’t let anyone know about what happened between us. As long as we can have each other when we are alone, and let me be your spiritual support, that’s enough. For the Demon Emperor family, you have already paid too much, even your own life. You have already done your best for your family and all your ancestors countless times over… Can’t you live a little bit for yourself at the end of this life?!”
"Am I...really not qualified to be a reason for you to be a little selfish?"
Little Demon Queen: “…”
Yun Che said a lot in one breath, releasing all the suppressed things in his chest during this period of time to the Little Demon Queen. After all, he was not like the Little Demon Queen, who was a pure white sheet of paper when it came to love between men and women. He could clearly feel whether the Little Demon Queen had feelings for him or not. Her indifference and concealment were even... clumsy to the point of being cute in his eyes.
But... she was the Little Demon Queen after all. On her shoulders was not a family, not a country, but a continent! She also carried the dignity of a ten-thousand-year-old royal family.
Therefore, the words “I hate your identity as the Little Demon Queen” came from Yun Che’s heart.
Facing Yun Che’s venting words, the Little Demon Queen did not interrupt or interject during the entire process. In the end, she did not respond at all. Instead, she turned around and flew away… She just left silently and quietly.
"You are not even afraid of death, yet you keep running away from me... and you still dare to say that I am not in your heart!"
Watching the Little Demon Queen walking away, Yun Che stomped his foot, cracking the floor in half, and shouted, “Little Demon Queen! If it weren’t for the fact that I can’t beat you, even if the entire Illusory Demon Realm were to hunt me down, I would have taken you to the Profound Sky Continent… and made sure you could never be the Little Demon Queen again!!”
Yun Che's roar was quite exasperated... At any time, strength is very important, including between men and women. At first, because he was no match for Chu Yuechan, he couldn't force her to stay. Now, there is another little demon queen whose tsundere attribute is one level higher than Chu Yuechan... But her strength is absolutely terrifying, so he can't do anything even if he wants to force her.
As soon as Yun Che finished yelling, Mu Yurou’s figure appeared in his sight. She hurriedly flew over here and shouted worriedly, “Che’er, what happened? You just said… that you were going to be hunted down by the entire Illusory Demon Realm… and that the Little Demon Queen was kidnapped? But… what exactly is going on? Don’t scare me.”
“Uh…” Yun Che’s mouth twitched, and he hurriedly went to greet him and said, “Mother, you heard me wrong. What I just said was that I would be loyal to the Little Demon Queen for the rest of my life, and that I would have no regrets even if I was hunted down by the entire Illusory Demon Realm for her… Well, that’s what I said. It was windy just now, so mother must have heard me wrong. If I really had said what mother said, the Little Demon Queen would have killed me with a palm strike, and there would be no way I would be standing here unscathed, right… Haha…”
“…That’s good.” Although she still had doubts in her heart, Yun Che’s last few words dispelled her worries and she breathed a sigh of relief, “Che’er, your father said that he felt that the Little Demon Queen didn’t seem to be in a good mood recently. Plus, the situation in Demon King City is still uncertain. You must not act disrespectful in front of the Little Demon Queen just because you have done a great deed. Since the Little Demon Queen awakened her bloodline, her strength has greatly increased, but her temperament has also become more powerful and colder than before, and she is also a little unpredictable. You must not anger her.”
Mu Yurou said "tens of millions" twice in a row, and Yun Che nodded repeatedly, looking like a completely obedient son.
The next three days were peaceful. Yun Che did not leave his house during these three days. He slept, practiced his skills, made medicine, occasionally treated people's injuries, and flirted with the young girls in the tribe who were just beginning to fall in love... He just passed by leisurely like this.
At dawn on the fourth day, Yun Qinghong woke him up from his deep sleep, “Che’er, at noon today, the Little Demon Queen is hosting a banquet in the Demon King’s Palace. We who are guarding our families and the various royal palaces must all be present… Moreover, the Little Demon Queen specifically specified that you must be there.”
“Eh?” Yun Che’s sleepiness suddenly dissipated. After thinking for a while, he said, “Lunch… specifically pointed out me? Did the Little Demon Queen say what it was about?”
“Not sure.” Yun Qinghong shook his head: “The Little Demon Queen only said that there is a major announcement that will affect the future of the Illusory Demon Realm.”
