After the great offering transmitted the message, he noticed that Yu Yunxi had stopped the pursuit. Only then did he let out a deep breath, controlling the Divine Vessel as he fled while releasing his divine consciousness.
He discovered that above the Sea of Demons, Yu Yunxi was diving down, holding Tan Yun, and plunging into the pitch-black seawater, disappearing from sight.
“No, I must tell the sovereign about this!” The great offering urged the Divine Vessel with all its might, vanishing into the night sky…
“Boom!”
As the tower door closed, Yu Yunxi staggered and placed Tan Yun in Shen Subing’s arms. Blood continuously gushed from her mouth, and her face was terrifyingly pale.
She lifted the Demonic Seal, her red hair turning black, and her other bodily features returning to normal, before collapsing backward.
“Yunxi!” Ji Yuyan looked worried and quickly supported Yu Yunxi, “How badly are you injured?”
“Elder Sister Ji, I’m fine… I’m fine.” Yu Yunxi’s voice was weak.
After Ji Yuyan hurriedly examined Yu Yunxi’s injuries, her expression drastically changed, “Your internal organs have suffered severe trauma, and you still say you’re fine.”
“Quickly enter the meditation room and recover…”
Before Ji Yuyan could finish, Yu Yunxi shook her head and interrupted, “Sisters, I have something to tell you.”
The women didn’t need to think hard to guess that Yu Yunxi was about to reveal something related to her identity.
“Yunxi, take your time to explain; you need to recover first.” Ji Yuyan said.
“Elder Sister Ji, I really am fine.” Yu Yunxi’s voice was frail, tears streaming down her face as she choked out, “You all saw it; I truly am a demon from the Domain of Demonic Fury.”
“I also know that a long time ago, the Immortal Ancient Divine Race and the demons from the Domain of Demonic Fury were arch-enemies.”
“But I want to ask you to tell Tan Yun that if given a choice, I would rather be human, the proud and willful seventh princess he remembers.”
“However, reality is cruel, and I truly do not know how to face him.”
At this point, Yu Yunxi turned her delicate hand, producing a letter which she handed to Shen Subing, “Sister Shen, when Tan Yun awakens, give him this letter.”
“Okay.” As Shen Subing took the letter, her brows furrowed, “Yunxi, don’t go. My husband is not someone who can't distinguish right from wrong. Whatever needs to be said, you should clarify in person; I believe he won’t treat you differently because of your identity…”
Before Shen Subing could finish, she was interrupted by Yu Yunxi, shaking her head, “Sister Shen, thank you for helping me, but I truly cannot face him.”
“I’m leaving.”
After saying that, Yu Yunxi attempted to turn and leave.
“Yunxi!” Shen Subing’s beautiful figure flashed in front of Yu Yunxi, sincerely pleading, “Don’t go. I know my husband’s character; he would never hold a grudge against you just because you’re a demon.”
“If you leave, he will definitely be heartbroken when he wakes up.”
Yu Yunxi looked at Shen Subing, her tears blurring her vision. After a moment of silence, she shook her head gently and whispered, “I also hate being a demon; I still can’t face him.”
“Sister Shen, take care.”
After saying this, Yu Yunxi walked past Shen Subing and trembled towards the tower door.
“Yunxi, you like Tan Yun, right?” Shen Subing's voice came from behind. Yu Yunxi’s delicate body trembled, but she remained silent, transforming into a beam of light and flying out of the Tower of Longing for the Lord, disappearing into the dark sea.
After leaving the tower, Yu Yunxi's tears poured out, merging into the seawater.
Does she like Tan Yun?
It was more than just liking; for Tan Yun, she would rather die. Her feelings for him had penetrated her bones and blood.
But she truly did not know how to appear before Tan Yun as a demon.
She was really scared...
So, she could only escape.
…
As the stars shifted and the sun rose, inside the meditation room of the Tower of Longing for the Lord, Tan Yun, heavily injured, had completely recovered, even regrowing his lost arm and hand.
