God's Seal: A weak priest, but with explosive strength

Chapter 236 The annulment of Abao and Yueye's marriage
Upon seeing the moonlit night again, A Bao felt a complex mix of emotions.

Ah Bao certainly had feelings for the moonlit night.

However, looking into those surprised purple eyes, Abao's courage was gradually waning.

Faced with A Bao's question, Yueye remained silent for a moment.

Her breathing became rapid, and her delicate, fair face showed a troubled expression.

"Brother Bao."

Moonlight pursed her lips, and said hesitantly, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie, Brother Bao?"

Looking into those dark eyes filled with emotion, Yueye decided she couldn't pretend any longer.

"be honest."

"I won't blame you."

Seeing Yueye's nervous expression, Abao said in a low voice, "I just want to know."

"Did you ever love me?"

A hint of sorrow flickered in A Bao's dark eyes.

They grew up together and were childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little.

The moonlit night witnessed A Bao's most unbearable side, which was also A Bao's most beautiful childhood memory.

Ah Bao was captivated by this beauty and gradually developed feelings for it, to the point that he fell in love with the moonlit night.

Not all feelings can be reciprocated.

Take Abao and Yueye for example.

He loved the moonlit night, but the moonlit night clearly did not love him.

"No."

Without hesitation, Yueye said, "To be honest, not at all."

“Brother Bao, I don’t want to lie to you. I have never loved you. I have only ever regarded you as an older brother since I was a child.”

Looking at A Bao's hurt expression, Yueye said softly, "If you don't love me, you don't love me, Brother Bao. I don't want to lie to you."

Faced with A Bao's heartfelt words, Yueye could only express her own thoughts.

Ah Bao was indeed very eligible, but Yue Ye didn't like him at all. Feelings can't be forced.

If you don't like it, you just don't like it, and that won't change.

In her entire life, Yueye only ever had feelings for Bai Haochen, but unfortunately, they met too late, so they never had a chance to be together.

Yueye's heart belongs entirely to Bai Haochen, but the person Bai Haochen loves is Sheng Cai'er.

Faced with A Bao's deep affection, Yueye thought of rejecting him.

Upon hearing this, A Bao gave a bitter smile, his handsome face displaying a complex expression. "Since you don't love me, then this prince will set you free."

"Our engagement is hereby dissolved. From now on, we will not interfere with each other's marriages."

Ah Bao turned around, his back to the moonlit night, his dark eyes filled with pain.

Why is reality so cruel to him?
An undefined emotion welled up in A Bao's heart.

That pain lingered in my heart.

It turns out that what you love may not be what you get; that's the cruelty of reality.

"Moonlit night."

"Let's never see each other again from now on."

Ah Bao's dark eyes were resolute. "Since you've never liked me, let's let each other go. My feelings for you are gone forever."

"I'm letting go of this relationship so that you're no longer bound by this marriage contract."

"We will be strangers from now on."

When Abao learned the truth from Yueye, he was on the verge of a breakdown.

He truly loved Yueye, but he never expected that she never loved him, not even a sliver of affection.

His years of emotional investment were nothing but a joke.

The proud and arrogant Abao couldn't let go of his pride, so he used running away to maintain his last bit of self-respect.

He let go of this most painful relationship and freed himself from the influence of any other emotions.

The boy's avoidance silently reveals how much he cares about this relationship.

Watching his disheveled figure flee, a glistening tear rolled down Yueye's cheek.

For some reason, watching him leave, a pang of heartache flashed through her heart.

This is impossible.

She subconsciously denied it under the moonlight. The person she loved from beginning to end was Bai Haochen.

Unfortunately, Bai Haochen is A Bao's nephew, someone she can't even touch.

It's impossible for her to have even the slightest feeling for Abao.

She loathed the marriage and didn't want to become an appendage of A Bao, hiding all her talents.

She is confident and could never be emotionally oblivious.

Yueye only felt guilty towards Abao.

After all, A Bao and she had grown up together since childhood, and he was one of her few friends among the demons.

Now that the truth about this relationship has come to light, the two have become strangers, which must be heartbreaking.

Ignoring the pain in her heart, Yueye buried herself in her work.

Now that she is free to choose her own marriage, she must strive to gain her father's trust and persuade him to grant her more power within the Moon Demon Clan.

Moonlight's ambitions continued to rise, leaving her no time to care about so-called love.

After witnessing Bai Haochen and Sheng Cai'er's unwavering love, Yueye knew she would be single for the rest of her life.

Because she never had the chance to meet someone like that.

……

After leaving the Moon Demon Palace, A Bao stood dejectedly under the laurel tree in front of his bedroom, lost in thought.

There were originally no laurel trees in the Demon Emperor's Palace; instead, there were shrubs less than a meter tall.

Tall trees would conceal members of the Temple Alliance's Demon Hunter Corps. Therefore, no tall trees are planted within the Demon Emperor's Palace for safety reasons.

The reason there is this laurel tree is because it was given to Abao by the moon.

This was the first time he had ever received a gift.

For more than ten years, he has been taking care of this laurel tree day after day.

This tree is a testament to their relationship, and also evidence left behind after their relationship ended.

Ah Bao watched it grow from a sapling into a towering tree, never imagining that they could only be friends.

Abao chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Just as Bai Nianxuan said, she doesn't like me at all."

"Perhaps, someone like me doesn't deserve to be loved."

Abao sat at the stone table next to the laurel tree, took out a wine jar from his spatial ring, and began to drink.

His heart was filled with sorrow, and complex emotions were about to overwhelm him.

Abao's eyes were red, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

He's such a failure.

Why has no one ever loved me growing up?

Abao's voice became hoarse, "Neither my mother nor my father loves me..."

"If they don't care about me, why did they give birth to me?"

These thoughts had been lingering in A Bao's mind.

The things one desires in youth will ultimately trap one throughout life.

Ah Bao has not escaped the shadows of his childhood, and naturally, he will also be limited by this relationship.

He didn't want to be used as a tool.

"Why are you drinking here, Ah Bao?"

Bai Yue's gentle voice rang out from not far away. When she saw A Bao, who reeked of alcohol, she couldn't help but frown.

Bai Yue dislikes alcohol very much.

She came here to chat with Abao.

Bai Yue had noticed that A Bao was unhappy when they were in the palace.

After Bai Yue decided to accept A Bao as her younger brother, she began to consider his future.

This is a person who is not good at expressing their own emotions.

"I……"

Upon seeing Bai Yue, A Bao paused for a moment, then said, "I'm drowning my sorrows in alcohol."

"Ok?"

Bai Yue sat down directly opposite him and said in a deep voice, "But you're drunk."

Your sorrow has not disappeared.
