Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The unpredictable future lay ahead.
The Dao Child of the Demon Clan placed a considerable amount of trust in her as the Clan Leader. Having him by her side could provide protection in crucial moments, and the prospect seemed to bring him genuine joy.
It appeared to be a win-win situation.
With these considerations in mind, Gu Chaoyan nodded and gave her agreement. “Alright.”
The Dao Child of the Demon Clan leaped up with evident happiness. “Sister, it’s true!”
“Absolutely.”
His joy was palpable.
“Sister, you used to dislike my excessive killing intent. I’ve genuinely made efforts to control it, thinking that was the reason you hesitated to bring me along for a long time a thousand years ago. I believed you hadn’t forgiven me. I never imagined you’re no longer upset with me,” he expressed happily, almost bouncing in excitement.
Gu Chaoyan found herself at a loss.
She was unaware of this past incident, and her decisions were based on her own considerations. She hadn’t antic.i.p.ated the Dao Child of the Demon Clan’s elation, nor did she antic.i.p.ate him releasing the pent-up emotions within her.
Not knowing how to respond, Gu Chaoyan fell into a thoughtful silence, simply sitting there peacefully.
Once the Dao Child of the Demon Clan reveled in his happiness, he cast a glance at her, concerned that his jubilance might disrupt her peace. He rose carefully. “Sister, I’ll head down first. I’ll find you tomorrow.”
Gu Chaoyan smiled, nodded, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The Dao Child of the Demon Clan was in high spirits as he departed at just the right moment, preventing any potential discontent from his sister.
With the Dao Child of the Demon Clan gone, Gu Chaoyan extracted the Dragonman from her arms.
“What’s the connection between the Dao Child of the Demon Clan and the Clan Leader of the Fiend and Demon Clan?” Gu Chaoyan was puzzled. Firstly, the Dao Child of the Demon Clan consistently referred to her as his sister, and secondly, the closeness between the Dao Child of the Demon Clan and the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan seemed unusually intimate.
The Dragonman munched on Spirit Stones and, with a serious expression, explained, “Strictly speaking, the Dao Child of the Demon Clan admires the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan, so, in terms of their relations.h.i.+p, they naturally share feelings for each other.”
Gu Chaoyan nearly choked on the water she had just sipped.
The Dragonman’s words startled her to the core.
A romantic relations.h.i.+p?
Between the Dao Child of the Demon Clan and herself?
He was like a child, seeking pampering at every turn.
How could that be?
Gu Chaoyan playfully smacked the Dragonman’s head, accusing him of spouting nonsense.
The Dragonman shrugged helplessly. “Father said so. Besides, the Dao Child of the Demon Clan is the same age as you. He’s not really a child. He’s just like this.”
“Moreover, Father mentioned that the Dao Child of the Demon Clan wasn’t always like this. Something happened a thousand years ago that made him cautious around the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan.” The Dragonman persisted.
Gu Chaoyan shuddered. It seemed she wasn’t prepared to digest such information.
“No need to worry. A romantic relations.h.i.+p between the Dao Child of the Demon Clan and the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan is impossible. The Demon Clan strictly forbids it, so they treat each other as siblings,” the Dragonman stated matter-of-factly.
Gu Chaoyan shot another glance at it.
Only then did the Dragonman resume, “Why can’t the Dao Child of the Demon Clan and the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan be together? Father didn’t provide any explanation at the time. It’s probably because I’m still young, and he didn’t want to disclose this to me.”
