Feng Guang let out a long breath of relief, secretly scoffing to herself. Those blind fools dared to gossip about her daughter behind her back—scaring them like that was already letting them off easy.
Now that she had found Xiaoxiao, there was no way she would ever let her stay in the mortal world again. She had to take her away. Since Suva already knew about Xiaoxiao’s existence, there was no longer any way to hide her safely. The only option was to keep Xiaoxiao by her side.
If Suva planned to use Xiaoxiao as leverage against her, then she could just as easily use her own life as leverage against him. If he dared lay a hand on Xiaoxiao, she would end her life again—but this time, she would stab her own heart with a knife.
Wasn’t it her heart he wanted? Would he still want that broken, ruined thing?
All of a sudden, Feng Guang realized just how deranged her own thoughts had become. She shook her head fiercely, reminding herself—she wasn’t Suva. She wasn’t a monster like him.
She couldn’t be thinking about how to die—she had to think about how to keep Xiaoxiao alive. At the very least, she had to make sure Xiaoxiao survived…
As Feng Guang sank into her own thoughts, the tree beside her rustled. A young man in black combat gear leapt down from the branches.
Startled, Feng Guang stumbled back a step. In the moonlight, she finally saw who it was—Jian Dan. Before she could ask, he blurted out, “Auntie, come with me, quick!”
“I can’t leave…” Feng Guang refused flatly. She had finally found Xiaoxiao; there was no way she could walk away so easily.
Jian Dan scratched his head in frustration. “Auntie, don’t tell me you’ve been brainwashed by that so-called uncle of mine again. I’m telling you, he’s no good. If you don’t leave now, it’ll be too late!”
“Xiaoxiao is still in his hands. I can’t go.”
“Xiaoxiao? Wait—you mean you found my future wife?” Jian Dan suddenly grew excited.
A vein twitched on Feng Guang’s forehead. “What future wife?”
“Oh, right, I forgot. Auntie, you don’t remember. Back when I was a kid, you said that when you had a child, boy or girl, you’d take me in as your son-in-law.”
“What…”
“Auntie, you can’t go back on your word! You’re the one who said it. When you used to tell me about Xiaoxiao, I was already looking forward to her becoming my future wife.”
Feng Guang fell silent for a moment. “You want to be my live-in son-in-law? Aren’t you the Demon Realm’s young master? Aren’t you supposed to become the next ruler of the Demon Realm?”
“Ugh, don’t even bring that up. The Demon Realm is nothing but pitch-black gloom—neither as beautiful as the Heavenly Realm nor as fun as the mortal world. I’ve long since stopped wanting to be the next ruler. Besides, my father is strong and healthy. If he and my mother put in a little effort, they can have another kid to inherit the title.” Jian Dan waved it off like it was nothing. It was true—his carefree, reckless nature made him ill-suited for the throne anyway. To him, becoming the Demon Realm’s ruler was nothing but a set of shackles, and he had no intention of binding himself.
Feng Guang’s lips twitched. “Do your parents even know what you’re thinking?”
“Doesn’t matter whether they do or not. Anyway, Auntie, where’s Xiaoxiao? Let me see her! She’s my future wife, after all. Auntie, you’re gorgeous—so Xiaoxiao must be beautiful too, right?”
Feng Guang went quiet. She hesitated, unsure if she should tell him that Xiaoxiao was still just a child.
