“Li Molin…” Liuli could no longer hold back her tears and finally broke down in tears. She choked out, “Why are you so good to me? I’ve wronged you so much, yet you’re still so good to me… How could you be so foolish…”
Li Molin gently wiped away Liuli's tears and said softly, "Liuli, don't cry. I hate seeing you cry the most... If you want to go with him, then go. As long as you are happy, I, Li Molin, have no other requests."
Liuli suddenly threw herself into Li Molin's arms, sobbing, "Li Molin, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
Li Molin gently stroked Liuli's smooth black hair, his voice unusually soft, and said softly, "It's alright, Liuli."
After a long while, Liuli released Li Molin, took two steps back, and finally said to him, "Li Molin, I'm sorry."
Then she turned and flew away. Shi Chan glanced at Li Molin's sorrowful gaze as he looked up at Liu Li, bowed deeply apologetically, and then flew up.
Because of Li Molin's orders, the demons on the street dared not make a move, but most of them were full of resentment and called out in a disorderly manner, "Your Excellency!"
"Your Excellency..."
"..."
Li Molin ignored the sounds around him, only looking up at the direction where Liuli flew away, until that little black light could no longer be seen, at which point he finally looked away.
He turned and walked towards the palace complex, giving a brief instruction before leaving: "The banquet doesn't need to be cleared away. You can all enjoy yourselves."
So all the demons on the street silently watched Li Molin slowly leave, their tall and imposing figures looking so sad and lonely. Soft sighs rose and fell along the long street, sounding utterly helpless.
--
The Demon Lord's Palace was tightly shut, and the guards outside were ordered not to let anyone in. Demon Lord Li Molin refused to see anyone.
From the morning when Liuli left until dusk, Yu Ke came to the outside of the palace several times, only to be met with the guards' cold reply: "His Majesty has not come out, nor has he ordered anyone to go in."
He lingered outside the tightly closed palace doors for a long time, sighed heavily, and then turned and walked away silently.
Not only were the doors of the Demon Lord's Palace tightly shut, but not even a single window was open. When it was broad daylight outside, a little light could still seep in, but as dusk fell, the palace gradually darkened.
Li Molin leaned back in the large chair above the platform, his head tilted back, his gaze fixed on one spot, but his eyes were unfocused.
Since Liuli left, he has remained motionless in this position, rarely even blinking.
In the darkness, his figure, sitting alone in the chair, was so lonely and sorrowful. If anyone else saw him, whether they knew him or not, they would surely want to go up to him, talk to him, and comfort him so that he wouldn't be so sad.
However, he wouldn't allow anyone to come in, nor would he allow anyone to see him like this.
He still remembered that many days ago, Liuli appeared in this hall and told him that she wanted to marry him. At that time, his heart was filled with joy, but he always felt that there was something unreal about Liuli's words.
Even today, when she walked slowly towards him in her wedding dress, he still felt that the scene was not real enough, like a beautiful dream.
He was terrified that when he woke up, everything would be gone. Yet he also desperately hoped that what he was seeing was real, that she would be his wife, and that she would stay with him for the rest of his life, never to be separated.
But the dream ended.
In the future, it may be extremely difficult to even see her again.
