Yu Ke turned to look at Li Molin's back on the high platform. After waiting for a moment without any response, he turned back and shouted in a cold voice, "Don't let them leave! Kill this monk first!"
If the Demon Lord were to marry a bride, and the bride were to be taken away by a monk during the wedding ceremony, it would be a great disgrace to the Demon Clan, an insult that would be absolutely intolerable.
So the demons on the long street quickly realized what was happening. They took out their weapons with hostile expressions and surrounded Liuli and Shichan.
The group of mythical beast boys who had come to attend the wedding quietly retreated, whispering and hesitating on the outer edge of the encirclement.
Liuli stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Shichan. She glanced around at the group of demons, then turned to Shichan and asked with a smile, "Monk, are you afraid?"
Shi Chan turned to look at Liuli and gently shook his head, saying, "I'm not afraid."
Liuli tilted her head, a mischievous glint in her eyes—a smile she only displayed before her rebirth. She chuckled, "Tens of thousands of people will try to stop us from leaving this city. Why aren't you afraid?"
Shi Chan's voice was unusually gentle as he said with a smile, "Because you are by my side, I am not afraid of death, what else is there to fear?"
It turned out that a monk who never spoke sweet words could say them so beautifully. Liuli's eyebrows curved into a smile, and she smiled silently.
A flash of light appeared in her hand, revealing a long silver whip. The Zen Pure Bead on Shi Chan's wrist shone brightly.
The man and the fox stood side by side, smiling, facing the layers upon layers of demons around them, showing no fear whatsoever.
At that moment, many demons had already raised their weapons, and an attack was about to break out.
"No one is allowed to lay a hand on me. If anyone hurts Liuli, I will not let them off!"
Li Molin, standing on the high platform, finally spoke. His voice was deep and unreadable, and he shouted, "Make way, let them go!"
"Your Excellency!" Yu Ke frowned.
The demons were all taken aback. They exchanged glances in twos and threes, most of them showing indignant expressions.
Upon hearing Li Molin's words, Liuli's smiling face changed slightly.
Li Molin turned to look at Liuli and Shichan, who were surrounded by people on the long street, his eyes filled with sorrow.
Even though he was extremely reluctant to let her leave, what he didn't want even more was to keep her by his side against her wishes, which would be like putting a lark in a cage—she wouldn't be happy.
If going with Shi Chan makes her happy, then let them go...
He walked slowly forward, stepped down the stairs from the high platform, and then walked into the encirclement through the path cleared by the demons.
“Li Molin…” Liuli could feel his sadness, just as she could feel his joy when she agreed to marry him.
She called out softly, opened her mouth, but couldn't utter another word.
Li Molin gave Liuli a pale smile, opened his arms, and whispered, "Liuli, before I leave, let me hug you one more time."
Liuli paused for a moment, then put away the Winged Spirit Whip and took two steps forward to hug him.
Li Molin hugged Liuli tightly, burying his face in her hair and deeply inhaling her familiar scent. He wanted to imprint this scent deep in his heart, so that if he never saw her again in the years to come, he wouldn't forget her fragrance.
Li Molin held Liuli in his arms for a long time before reluctantly letting go. He looked down at her small face, his eyes filled with sorrow, but a gentle smile played on his lips. He whispered, "Liuli, if you're not doing well, come back. Remember, I'll always be waiting for you."
