"Guards, bind the Seventh Prince to the stake for the Fire Punishnt. For the Demon Dragon and for our Demon World, his death is deserved!"
The Demon Emperor snorted coldly, his stern gaze sweeping towards You Xi, speaking without any expression: "You Xi, I know you hate , your father, but as a mber of the Demon World, you should sacrifice for it. Rest assured, once you are gone, I will enshrine you in the ancestral temple, to be worshipped by thousands, and your na will be etched in history books, so that future generations will know the contributions you made for my Demon World. In this way, I can consider myself to have done right by you..."
"Your Majesty!"
Du Yi’s expression changed with anger, saying: "The Seventh Prince is your son, he carries on your bloodline! Moreover, recognition in history ans nothing to him alive. The Seventh Prince is not one who seeks fa and fortune, he does not crave that so-called glory! To summon that dubious Demon Dragon, you would sacrifice an innocent life, are you fit to be the Emperor of Demon World?"
The Demon Emperor’s face turned terrifyingly dark, coldly staring at Du Yi.
"Are you questioning my decision? Anyone sacrificing their life for the Demon World is only natural, especially since he is a prince of the Demon World! I have given him wealth, luxury, and a noble status, now it’s his turn to give back to my Demon World, he has no reason to refuse!"
You Xi gently closed his eyes, his lashes quivering. After a long ti, he opened them, speaking clearly and deliberately.
"If I could choose, I would rather be born into an ordinary family rather than be a Prince of the Royal Family, because I’ve been controlled by your arrangents since childhood, without even the right to make friends. Such a restricted life of freedom is never what I wanted."
Whether from anger or suppressed fear, You Xi’s body trembled slightly.
For centuries, the Demon Emperor was the person he feared most, once even trembling just to speak a word to him, and that dissatisfaction had been suppressed for centuries as well.
Thus, this was the first ti he spoke his mind...
"Father, I hate you! Hate that you gave no familial affection, hate that you’re not like a father. Even a fierce tiger does not eat its cubs, but in your heart, there’s only your power and status. You are selfish, cruel, and ruthless, stopping at nothing to achieve your ends, even seizing your daughter-in-law, killing loyal ministers, bloodthirsty towards your children. What is there that you wouldn’t do? If there is another life, I would never want to be your son again!"
These words made the Demon Emperor’s temples throb with angry green veins, his complexion ashen with rage, bloodshot eyes glaring viciously at You Xi.
You Xi seed unaware of his anger, turning instead to look at the girl tied beside him, saying: "Du Feifei, in this life, the one I owe the most is you. If there’s another life, I hope I won’t miss you again..."
In his heart, there was his pride.
And he once thought a woman like Du Feifei was not worthy of him...
But, love has no unworthy or worthy.
Once you fall in love, then... you no longer care who the other person is...
"Seventh Prince..."
Du Feifei’s heart trembled, gazing in shock at You Xi’s handso face, a bitter smile on her lips.
"Seventh Prince, it’s too late..."
Yes, now it’s truly too late.
"However, I never regret everything I once did, even if given another chance, I would still do the sa, because I never wished to see you worry..."
