Tu Er was quite embarrassed, but since his father didn't respond, he couldn't say anything more.
Neither the Demon Lord nor Chu Yu would back down, their gazes locked in a tense standoff. After a long while, the Demon Lord looked at Chu Yu and said without blinking, "My son is right. Our Demon Clan will certainly treat you both well."
Chu Yu's expression did not relax at all upon hearing the Demon Lord's words; he looked at him with icy eyes and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you."
After saying that, he grabbed Hua's hand and said, "Alright, let's go!"
Hua was still confused, not understanding how things had developed this way, and followed Chu Yu in a daze.
Back at Hua's residence, Chu Yu waved his hand, and with a loud "bang!", all the doors and windows slammed shut!
Hua's heart skipped a beat with the "thump!" Chu Yu's face was so dark it could drip water, and the entire space seemed to turn cold because of him.
Hua saw Chu Yu so out of control for the first time, and for a moment she didn't dare to breathe, only daring to secretly swallow her saliva.
Chu Yu gripped Hua's shoulders with both hands, forcing her to look at him. "Liao Liao, the Demon Clan has already made their move! You must stay close to me when you go out!"
"Chu Yu, aren't you overthinking this? I don't think the Demon Lord has that intention."
After Hua finished speaking, she looked at Chu Yu tentatively, thinking that Chu Yu was probably overthinking things.
Chu Yu frowned, his hand unconsciously tightening around Hua's shoulder. "Liao Liao, one can never be too careful!"
"Your blood can fight the Nightmare, do you know what that means?"
Hua knew, of course. Under Chu Yu's gaze, she nodded slightly and said softly, "I know."
If she were an unknown nobody with no connections, they probably would have bled her dry long ago...
It's not that they're heartless, it's just that they were self-aware. If using her could save tens of thousands of demons, given such a massive and unequal balance, even a fool would know which option to choose...
Chu Yu felt a pang of heartache when he saw the hurt look in Hua's eyes. He then pulled Hua into a tight embrace. He had forgotten that his Liao Liao was so smart, how could she not know?
Liao Liao understood things better than anyone else...
Chu Yu rested his chin on Hua Yuanyuan's little head. "So Liao Liao has to be obedient. From now on, you can't trust anyone here!"
Hua nestled in Chu Yu's arms, her voice muffled, "Can't I have to go to Tu Er either?"
"Can't!"
"Where is Sister Wanke?"
"No, that won't work either!"
"Then... what about Qilian and Gu Xi?"
"Can't!"
Hua felt Chu Yu hug her even tighter, and she could hardly breathe.
She spoke softly, "Then... what about Chu Yu?"
Those few words completely threw Chu Yu's heart into disarray. Chu Yu was certain that Liao Liao could hear his heart pounding like a drum.
However, he didn't want to let go of the person in his arms. If she knew, she knew; he didn't want to hide his feelings for her anymore. Before, he always felt his son was too young and was afraid of frightening her, but...
Chu Yu hugged his precious baby tightly, feeling content. His Liao Liao had grown up; he was no longer a little child. There were some things he could think about now, such as...
Chu Yu quickly composed himself, coughed lightly twice to cover his thoughts, and then said, "Chu Yu is fine."
"Liao Liao can always trust him."
"He will always stand behind me!"
Chu Yu's voice made Hua's heart pound. She...maybe...
I learned something incredible...
...
Neither of them spoke again. After a long while, Hua gently pushed Chu Yu's chest, "Chu Yu, you...you're hugging me too tightly..."
"Cough cough!"
Upon hearing Hua's voice, Chu Yu awkwardly released the person in his arms, gently touching the tip of his nose with his left hand. "Alright, I'll be going now. Be careful, and send me a message if anything happens."
"good."
Hua didn't dare to look up at him until she heard the door open. Only then did she dare to look up and see Chu Yu's slightly flustered back. Hua chuckled and covered her mouth.
It was the first time I'd ever seen Chu Yu like this; it was truly a novel experience.
It wasn't until he was completely outside the flower-filled courtyard that Chu Yu calmed down. Recalling the Demon Lord and the others' expressions earlier that day, his face instantly turned icy cold.
If they are reckless and dare to set their sights on us, then they can't blame anyone else for the consequences!
On the Demon Lord's side,
Qianhui spoke first, his tone impatient, "Demon Lord, since that beggar's blood can deal with the Nightmare, why don't we..."
Before Qianhui could finish speaking, Qi Zhi interrupted him, "This is inappropriate. Not to mention that the gods of the Divine Race will be arriving here soon, the two of them are here to help our Demon Race. We cannot do such an ingratitude!"
Before the Demon Lord could speak, Qian Hui retorted sarcastically, "Hmph, everyone knows that those two were kind to your son. We understand what you mean by that, but are we just going to sit here and wait to die?"
"You, you're clearly just making excuses!"
"I..."
"Alright, elders, there's no need to be so agitated."
The Demon Lord interrupted the argument between the two and looked at Mo Ren, who was standing to the side, "Elder Mo Ren, what are your thoughts on this matter?"
"Demon Lord, we can't touch it now that it's been spent!"
Mo Ren's words finally piqued the Demon Lord's interest, and he tilted his head to signal him to continue.
"I have personally witnessed that the God of the Divine Realm, Qingfeng, and the God of the Divine Realm, were quite concerned about Miss Hua. I'm afraid her identity is not as simple as it appears."
"Yes, I was there that time too. The two High Gods, Qingfeng and Xubing, were indeed very protective of her, even going so far as to embarrass the Immortal Emperor for her sake!"
"So, the two of them are not as ordinary as Tu Er said before."
The Demon Lord believed Mo Ren and Qi Zhi's words. Since they both said so, it was highly likely that Chu Yu and Hua had concealed their identities from Tu Er back then!
"No one is allowed to say a word about what was spent today. We'll talk about it after everything is investigated!"
"Demon Lord!"
The Demon Lord waved his hand, indicating that Qianhui didn't need to say anything more!
Qianhui's face was filled with resentment. As he left, Mo Ren and Qi Zhi exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying the same meaning: We need to keep a close eye on Qianhui!
He's usually the kind of person who'll stop at nothing to achieve his goals; who knows what he'll do this time!
At this critical juncture, we absolutely cannot afford any mistakes!
