Jun Tan stared at A Jiu, remaining silent for a long time. She simply looked at the little fox she had raised with her own hands and sighed with some disappointment, "Little Jiu, this isn't the first time you've questioned me. This is the last time I'll tolerate you. If it happens again, you should leave."
Upon hearing this, Ajiu was somewhat bewildered. She was increasingly unable to understand Juntan's temperament. She had thought that such a level of questioning would not anger Juntan, but she did not expect Juntan to warn her so seriously.
She was a little flustered, but seeing Jun Tan's expression, she didn't continue speaking, because there was no point in saying anything more.
Jun Tan glanced at her coldly and continued, "Leave the wedding arrangements to your subordinate, A Si. Go and deliver invitations to all the major powers in the world. Others don't have to come, but the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect must come. Consider it a favor that you've been working hard lately, so you can go out and have some fun."
Upon hearing this, Ajiu felt a little uneasy. Why did she need to do such an errand? It was just a way to get rid of her.
Ah Jiu said no more, but a sense of crisis arose in her heart.
After she stepped down, Xiao Yuhan looked at Jun Tan and said, "You can't do this."
"What?"
"You can't control this nine-tailed fox like this."
What are you trying to say?
Xiao Yuhan pondered for a moment, "Miss Tan, you have the power of life and death. You can grant her a position with a single word, but you shouldn't treat Ajiu like this. After all, she has always followed you. Doing this will break her heart."
"How do you know? Isn't a ceasefire what you wanted? Ah Jiu has followed me for many years and won't harbor any resentment over something like this."
Xiao Yuhan shook her head. "Indeed, if you explain it properly, she won't be dissatisfied. But your actions and attitude seem to me like you're trying to take away her power and then sideline and overthrow her."
"Is there?"
“Especially since you let your subordinates take over what should have been her responsibility, from Ajiu’s perspective, that’s an extremely dangerous sign.”
"You're overthinking it. Our wedding is a crucial moment for the truce between our two races. Let Ajiu deliver the invitations, and the world will know the strength of my demon race."
"The two things are fine on their own, but there is a problem when they are put together."
"Don't worry, I raised Ajiu myself, I know her very well."
Xiao Yuhan stared outside the main hall. "You only know the woman who was by your side back then. Forget it. With your strength, even if something unexpected happens, it won't cause any trouble."
"It seems you're worried about me." Jun Tan smiled slightly, but didn't look at Xiao Yuhan.
Xiao Yuhan was still a little uneasy. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "When do you plan to set the date?"
"Half a month later."
Xiao Yuhan did some quick calculations and said, "It's exactly the day after the full moon. The moon is full and the yang energy is rising. It's a good day indeed."
"Xiao Yuhan, you won't regret it, will you?" Jun Tan asked suddenly, as if something had occurred to him.
"Why would I regret it? It is my honor that Miss Tan is willing to marry me, and it is my blessing to have you as my wife."
Hearing this, Jun Tan seemed somewhat displeased. He stared at Xiao Yuhan for a while, then turned to look at the sky framed within the palace gate, and sighed, "If it were him, he wouldn't say that. He would probably be very uneasy, and thinking about worldly status, he wouldn't be willing to agree."
"Are you talking about my past self? Worldly reputation?" Xiao Yuhan thought Jun Tan was referring to the fact that she was human and Jun Tan was a demon, so she immediately laughed and said, "I can basically confirm that. Neither my past self nor my present self would have any reservations because you are a demon. Miss Tan, I thought about it all night. Actually, I think I like you. We've been friends since we came from Ling Su to Bei Yuan. But I feel that we're more than just friends. I felt at ease the moment I saw you, and I felt at ease having you by my side along the way. I can't help but want to get closer to you and learn more about you."
Hearing this, Jun Tan scoffed, "Hmph! And yet you abandoned me before!"
