"For your own good, I'm sure." Tan Yun thought for a moment before communicating through sound transmission.
The three words "I'm sure" pierced into Yu Yunxi's heart like a dagger, and her heart bled.
"I've been with him for so many years, and I am matchless in beauty. Even his wives and fiancées have to bow to me in front of me. Why has he never developed feelings for me?"
In Yu Yunxi's eyes, if Tan Yun had feelings for her, he wouldn't have proposed to annul the engagement and let her go.
At that moment, Yu Yunxi's heart truly hurt. In fact, she didn't know how reluctant Tan Yun was in his heart.
From Tan Yun's perspective, he and Yu Yunxi had gone through countless storms together, and they had been together for over two million years. To say he had no feelings for her would be impossible.
However, Tan Yun knew that he already had so many women, and if he were to provoke Yu Yunxi, it would be irresponsible to her.
Moreover, Tan Yun, who was always dull in matters of love, had never considered Yu Yunxi's feelings for him. Therefore, he had to endure the reluctance and propose to annul the engagement.
As Tan Yun sighed in his heart, Yu Yunxi looked at him, mustering her courage to say, "I don’t agree to annul the engagement," but ultimately gave up.
She whispered to herself, "His grandfather was the Eternal Dao Emperor over eighty million years ago and had deep enmity with the demons of the Sea of Demons."
"Even if I express my feelings to him, and he accepts me, once he learns I am the demon queen, he will undoubtedly think I deceived him."
"I am a demon, and I possess the wild and ruthless demon blood, while he belongs to the righteous Immortal Ancient Divine Race. If he knew I was the demon queen, would he still want to associate with me?"
Thinking of this, Yu Yunxi felt her heart twisting in pain, and tears filled her beautiful eyes.
"Yunxi, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Tan Yun's expression turned tense.
"No… nothing." Yu Yunxi forced a smile, looking happy. "Although we are not truly engaged in the traditional sense, after all, my father emperor has announced it to the world, and I do carry a burden in my heart."
"Now that I think about getting rid of that burden, I'm so happy."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun felt a hollow emptiness in his heart. He pretended to be nonchalant and patted Yu Yunxi's head, "Even if you're happy, it shouldn't be this excited, right?"
"I want to be excited; what’s it to you?" Yu Yunxi wiped her tears, suppressing the pain in her heart, and playfully said, "Then you must prove to the whole world that I am pure."
"Don't worry, I will." After Tan Yun said this, he chatted with Yu Yunxi while flying westward...
Inside the Tower of Longing for the Lord in Tan Yun's sleeve, Shen Subing shook her head.
Ji Yuyan said thoughtfully, "Does Shen sister also think that Yunxi wasn't truly happy when she cried just now?"
"Yes." Shen Subing slightly nodded, "My husband is brilliant in other matters, but when it comes to feelings, he is quite dull."
"As a woman, I can sense that in her heart, Yu Yunxi has probably fallen in love with my husband."
Eight days later, in the Heavenly镇神城, outside the City Lord's Mansion, at the Hall of Time and Space.
"Buzz—"
The void inside the great hall distorted, and the deputy City Lord, Hu Yun, appeared out of thin air from the teleportation array.
"Maybe my big brother has captured the remnants of the Immortal Ancient Divine Race!"
Thinking of this, Hu Yun was extremely excited.
"Hmm?" The smile on Hu Yun's face vanished, his brows furrowing as he sensed a foul smell coming from outside the hall.
This smell was a mix of blood and decay.
Suddenly, an ominous premonition arose, and Hu Yun hurriedly strode out of the great hall. When he saw the scene before him, it was as if he had been struck by lightning.
He found that outside the Hall of Time and Space, rotting corpses covered the ground, stretching as far as the eye could see.
"Whoosh!"
Hu Yun soared into the air, suspended among the clouds, releasing his divine consciousness to envelop the entire city in just a few breaths.
