After speaking, a disheartened Tan Yun looked at the Great Demon Lord and said, “If there are no issues, then please sign.”
“Alright, I have no objections.” The Great Demon Lord bit his finger and signed his name with demon blood.
“Yunxi, no matter what you think, in my heart, you are my sister.” Shen Subing sighed and then said, “Sister wishes you happiness.”
After saying this, Shen Subing and Xiao Zixi followed Tan Yun out of the palace.
Zashi Yunxi looked at Tan Yun's departing figure, opened her lips to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
“Tan Yun, wait!” The Great Demon Lord's voice reached Tan Yun's ears.
In sorrow, Tan Yun paused without turning back and asked, “What is it?”
Facing Tan Yun, the Great Demon Lord bent his back deeply and bowed, saying, “Thank you. Rest assured, as long as I am alive, I will keep the Demon Clan in check and not harm any humans.”
“Hmm.” Tan Yun replied, took a deep breath, and left the main hall with Xiao Zixi and Shen Subing.
“Subordinate will take my leave.” Dalwu saluted the Great Demon Lord and then left the main hall, catching up to Tan Yun.
“Senior Tan, actually, I still hope that you and the young demon lord could have a happy ending, but alas, it's a pity.” Dalwu sighed.
Tan Yun forced a bitter smile, a tear of sorrow slipped down. In his heart, if Zashi Yunxi had not decided to marry someone else, he would have used various methods to win her heart back.
However, when he heard that Yunxi had decided to marry another man, his heart shattered, breaking into pieces.
Taking a deep breath, Tan Yun looked at Dalwu and said, “Before leaving, please lead the way. I want to meet Yunxi's grandfather, the Demon Ancestor of the Tranquil Sea.”
“Alright, please follow me.” Dalwu respectfully replied and led Tan Yun smoothly through the Great Demon City toward the Tranquil Sea Manor…
At this moment, inside the main hall, Zashi Yunxi was sobbing uncontrollably in the arms of the Great Demon Lord.
The Great Demon Lord gently patted Yunxi's shoulder and comforted, “From the contract, it's clear that Tan Yun is indeed a good man. To be honest, I too want to forget the hatred for your grandfather's killing of my aunt's husband and agree for you to be together.”
“After all, although your grandfather was killed by the eternal dao emperor, the reason the eternal dao emperor died was also due to your grandfather and your grandfather severely injuring him.”
“If it were not for your grandfather and grandfather injuring the eternal dao emperor, with the eternal dao emperor's power, he would not have been killed by the Northern Sovereign Emperor and others.”
“More importantly, Tan Yun is Tan Yun, and the eternal dao emperor is the eternal dao emperor. I also feel somewhat reluctant to separate you two lovers due to the grudges of the previous generation.”
Zashi Yunxi looked at the Great Demon Lord with tearful eyes and asked, “Aunt, do you truly think that way?”
“Hmm.” The Great Demon Lord nodded.
“But aunt, my grandfather will not agree to this marriage.” Yunxi cried, “Although my grandfather has the intelligence of only seven or eight years, when I told him about my relationship with Tan Yun, he was very angry.”
“Wuwu... My grandfather said, unless he dies, he will never allow me to marry the grandson of the eternal dao emperor…”
“Aunt, what should I do... Please tell Xi'er, what should I do... Wuwu... I have already broken Tan Yun's heart, and I have a premonition that once he leaves, he will never come to see me again in this lifetime.”
“Aunt... I am truly in so much pain, so tired... Xi'er feels like living is worse than death…”
Seeing Zashi Yunxi in such agony, tears welled up in the Great Demon Lord’s eyes, and she said, “Come, Aunt will take you to see your grandfather.”
…
Half an hour later, when the Great Demon Lord and Yunxi arrived at the Tranquil Sea Manor, the guards immediately knelt and saluted.
After the Great Demon Lord allowed the guards to rise, one guard respectfully said to Zashi Yunxi, “Young Demon Lord, half an hour ago, the human ruler Tan Yun, along with two women, accompanied by the guardian of the sea demon sovereign, came to visit the Demon Ancestor.”
