Jun Tan didn't speak, but then Xiao Yuhan's voice came from behind her. He had appeared by the broken earthen wall at some point, staring at Jun Tan.
He didn't say a word, but Jun Tan clearly noticed that Xiao Yuhan's eyes were a little strange.
For some reason, he looked at Ajiu and said, "Alright, you can leave now. I'll handle things here. As for your matter, I'll settle accounts with you later."
Xiao Jiu thought for a moment, glanced at Xiao Yuhan again, and finally obeyed and left.
Xiao Yuhan stared at Jun Tan, "You just let her go like that?"
"Then what should we do? Kill her?" Jun Tan retorted.
Xiao Yuhan frowned. "I don't quite understand. I understand that we've argued about the issues between the demon race and the human race many times along the way, but for your subordinate, no matter what the reason, to let this person named Nanmen Yihen kill his own people is disgusting."
"That's between her and me. Besides, since we're enemies, what does it matter how we die or how we're used?"
Seeing Jun Tan's serious expression, Xiao Yuhan felt increasingly uncomfortable. The Jun Tan he knew from the journey was not like this. Or rather, the other side of Jun Tan was a very likable girl. How could she say such a thing?
“I can understand the hostility between the two races, but even so, it would be better to just kill Nanmen Yihen. Your subordinate is lying. She could clearly control that man, so how could she suddenly lose control afterward? Wasn’t she just having fun and deliberately wanting to see what kind of expression Nanmen Yihen, who committed a serious crime, would have? I not only cannot agree with this approach, but I also want to get rid of your subordinate. Of course, I can’t beat you.”
Jun Tan snorted lightly, "Nanmen Yihan is just an outsider, why are you bothering with me? If you want to spare his life, I have agreed and will not make things difficult for you."
She felt that this man was somewhat unreasonable. She had already made so many concessions and met his demands, but he still had so much dissatisfaction. This feeling made her very unhappy.
However, Xiao Yuhan felt that this was how it should be, so he said, "I don't know your subordinates, do I?"
"I may have seen you before!"
"I don't remember what happened before, as you know."
"So what?"
"Therefore, I will not favor Nanmen Yihen, nor will I favor your subordinates. What she did was wrong, and if I could, I would kill her!" Xiao Yuhan said resolutely.
"How dare you! Xiao Yuhan, I didn't give my consent, so what gives you the right to say you'll kill her?"
“Because you were there, I didn’t choose to take action!” Xiao Yuhan said again.
"Hmph, that's enough! My patience is almost gone, Xiao Yuhan. I've never compromised with anyone in my life. Don't push your luck!"
Xiao Yuhan remained silent, looking at Jun Tan, a sudden pang of unease gripping his heart. He stepped forward, staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar face, "Miss Tan, you didn't have to do this, clearly..."
"Do you think you know me well? Come to think of it, do you even think you know me?"
"I know you, not just because we've been together all this time, but it's like I've known you for a long time."
Jun Tan was taken aback. "Did you remember something?"
“No, but I think you shouldn’t be like this.” Xiao Yuhan’s voice softened as she tried to persuade Jun Tan.
"Heh, it seems that even if you lose your memory, you still haven't changed your hypocritical ways. Xiao Yuhan, Nanmen Yihan is just an outsider. Why do you care if he lives or dies? Do you know who Xiao Jiu is to me? She is the little fox I raised with my own hands. I watched her grow from a little fox demon who knew nothing to my right-hand woman. Do you think she is just a subordinate to me? In my opinion, even if you die, I don't want anything to happen to her."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuhan felt a pang of unease, but upon reflection, he realized it was indeed true. After a moment's thought, he gave a bitter laugh. "Miss Tan, I've accompanied you all the way to the Northern Plains. It's time to part ways. Call me hypocritical or treacherous if you will, but I just feel that Nanmen Yihen is too pitiful. Regardless of his identity, I can understand if he were killed by the demon race. This is what you call survival of the fittest. But your subordinate actually takes pleasure in torturing others. Even if you were torturing him, why did you have to control him and make him kill his own people?"
Jun Tan's eyes suddenly showed a hint of panic. "You're leaving?"
"We've only met by chance, young lady. Let's part ways amicably."
"I won't allow it! You're not allowed to leave without my permission!" Jun Tan's voice grew softer and softer.
Xiao Yuhan said expressionlessly, "Miss Tan, we are not on the same path and cannot be friends. Let's leave it at that. Of course, if you feel that I have disobeyed you once again, then kill me before I leave with that man!"
With that, Xiao Yuhan walked towards the slope without looking back, helped up the dying Nanmen Yihen, and prepared to leave.
Jun Tan watched Xiao Yuhan's figure, her heart filled with rage, but she suppressed her anger, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her white dress, her brows furrowed. Although her expression remained numb, there was a hint of panic in her eyes. She said again, "I said, you are not allowed to leave!"
Xiao Yuhan, supporting Nanmen Yihen, walked past Jun Tan. "Miss Jun Tan, how should I put it? It's been quite pleasant spending time with you these past few days. It's just that you're too distant. You seem to regard everything as something unrelated to yourself. I've made many efforts to try and become your friend, but today I've realized that even the demons under your command despise humans. As the most powerful emperor of the demon race, you must also be disdainful of human feelings, right?"
