Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 102 Fengxiu's Thoughts, Yuehui's Sincere Heart

(Thanks, Ping, goodbye!)
...

"What crime have you committed?" Feng Xiu stood with his hands behind his back, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. "Just because the woman you brought is the Reincarnation Saintess of the current Assassin's Temple?"

Moonlight was instantly drenched in cold sweat:
(How could he know all this so clearly?)

His spiritual energy instinctively stirred, but he forcibly suppressed it in an instant.

Faced with the unfathomable Demon Emperor, any resistance is futile.

(If Fengxiu wanted to kill me and Cai'er, there would be no need for any roundabout methods.)
(Perhaps things can still turn around!)
"Your Majesty, please have mercy." Yuehui knelt on one knee, but his voice was unusually calm. "Your subject is willing to exchange his life for Cai'er's life."

Feng Xiu suddenly chuckled: "When did I ever say I wanted to take her life?"

"You love her very much?"

Fengxiu's voice suddenly softened.

Yuehui nodded solemnly: "I brought her back this time precisely to introduce her to my father and sister."

"That's good." A hint of reminiscence flashed in Feng Xiu's eyes.

"As I have said, the demon race is tolerant enough towards humans. As long as she is willing to submit, whether she is the Holy Maiden of Reincarnation or the Child of Light, she can be accepted."

He looked at Yuehui meaningfully: "Just like your father's concubines, just like the human concubines in my palace, understand?"

(What does Fengxiu mean by this?)

Before Yuehui could respond, Fengxiu waved his hand, signaling, "Step down."

"It is Uncle." Yuehui bowed and slowly left the main hall.

Fengxiu watched Yuehui's departing figure, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes:
(What a pity)

(If he could marry Leng Xiao.)

(Their descendants will surely be exceptionally gifted.)

Suddenly, a long-forgotten name came to mind.

The Demon Emperor gently touched his chest and let out a barely audible sigh:

"Lingxuan."

……

As soon as Moonbeam stepped out of the palace, he saw Agares leaning against a pillar beside the palace gate with his arms crossed.

"Is the conversation over? His Majesty—" The Moon Demon God hesitated, his gaze sweeping over the four black-robed attendants who stood motionless like statues.

"It's nothing," Yuehui forced a smile. "We just chatted about everyday things."

Agares gave him a deep look, then patted him on the shoulder: "Go and rest first. If there's nothing else, it's best to leave as soon as possible."

Having said that, he straightened his magnificent robe with purple and gold trim and strode into the hall.

Moonlight watched Agares' departing figure, her lips trembling as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just pursed them tightly.

He turned and walked towards the Moonlit Palace, a resolute glint of lightning flashing in his purple eyes.

(Become stronger.)

(I must become stronger)

(So ​​powerful that he can firmly grasp his own destiny!)

……

"Don't you have anything to explain?" Cai'er stared coldly at the moonlit night.

Moonlight sighed softly, lowering her eyes as she said, "Since Ah Hui brought you here, it means he trusts you. Wait for him to return."

"Can he come back?" Cai'er bit her lower lip, her voice trembling slightly.

"If the Demon God Emperor really wants to kill him, he will not show any mercy to the Moon Demon Clan."

Before the words were finished, familiar footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.

Cai'er rushed to the door like an arrow and flung it open—Yuehui was still in the position of raising her hand to knock, her face showing astonishment.

"Are you alright?" Cai'er grabbed his hand, her voice filled with lingering fear.

Feeling the warmth from his palm, Yuehui felt a surge of warmth in her heart: "I'm fine."

"You seem alright," Yueye said softly. "If you hadn't come back, my sister-in-law would probably have glared at me."

Yuehui smiled apologetically: "Sister, I will explain it to Cai'er."

He took Cai'er's hand and said, "Come with me, and I'll tell you everything."

Cai'er pursed her lips and nodded, her fingertips unconsciously tightening.

Actually, she had already guessed it, but the answer was just too hard to accept.

(Hopefully I'm overthinking it)

……

Yuehui led Cai'er by the hand to a secluded palace.

Although it was quiet and deserted, it was spotless.

He loosened his grip on the doorframe and slowly walked towards the storage locker in the corner: "I've lived here for five years."

Cai'er's heart skipped a beat, and she unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes.

Yuehui took out an old wooden puppet from the cabinet—a toy that Yueye had made for him when he was five years old, though he had never played with it.
"Later, I was assigned to infiltrate a caravan and head towards Jialing Pass." He gently stroked the carvings on the puppet. "On the way, we were attacked by the Bear Demon Clan, and all the guards were wiped out. Just when I thought I would be killed by those stupid bears..."

The puppet was put back in the drawer, and Yuehui turned to gaze at Cai'er: "Palace Master Li Zhengzhi descended like a god, killed those demonic bears, and brought me back to the Magic Temple."

A nostalgic smile curved his lips: "Three years later, I awakened my spiritual power, not the dark attribute I had expected, but the lightning attribute that the Holy Temple Alliance had not seen for six thousand years, with an innate spiritual power of ninety."

“Another year passed, and I rescued a little mute girl who was being chased by demons,” Yuehui’s eyes softened. “She called me ‘sister’ in her naivety.”

"Five years later, at the Demon Hunter selection tournament, I met her again." His voice suddenly deepened. "This time, she hadn't lost her voice, but her sight."

Yuehui walked towards Cai'er and gently cupped her face: "You know the rest of the story."

A misty haze rose in Cai'er's eyes, and the scattered clues connected at that moment to form the most heartbreaking truth.

"So you are..." Her voice choked and trembled, as if something was choking her throat, making it difficult to even breathe.

With a gentle turn of her fingertips, the crescent moon ring fell to the ground.

The moment the disguise was removed, an eerie crescent moon demonic pattern appeared between her brows, and her purple eyes revealed the dignified demeanor of a demon noble.

“Son of the Moon Demon God Agares, Moonshine,” he said softly, each word like a heavy hammer blow to Cai’er’s heart.

Cai'er staggered back half a step, tears falling like broken pearls: "Why...?"

“But I have never truly deceived you.” Moonbeam sighed as she stepped forward. “Not only me, but also my sister Moonlit Night, and even my father Agares.”

He reached out and wiped away Cai'er's tears: "None of us have ever truly accepted our identity as demons."

Cai'er suddenly looked up, her tear-stained eyelashes trembling slightly: "What?"

"Do you remember when I mentioned Moonlit Night's identity before we went to the Howling Cave?" Moonlight's gaze was profound. "In fact, my sister, myself, and even my father are not pure-blooded Moon Demons, but rather human-demon hybrids."

He gave a wry smile and continued, "Didn't I say before? Mixed-bloods are not well-regarded among demons. In addition, most demons are strangely shaped, while we Moon Demons regard human form as beautiful and beauty as supreme. We disdain associating with those ugly demons."

“But,” his voice lowered, “six thousand years of war have already etched hatred into our blood. Even if we despise the identity of the demon race, how can humanity accept a different kind of being with the blood of a demon god flowing through their veins?”

“So,” he took a deep breath, “that’s why my father sent me to infiltrate the human race and try to change everything. I’ve carried this secret for far too long.”

Yuehui suddenly stepped forward and tightly grasped Cai'er's trembling shoulders with both hands:

"I don't want to lie to you! But for the sake of my father and my sister, I have no choice but to do so. In the past year or so, I have found myself falling hopelessly in love with you. Just like when my father disregarded the opposition of his people and insisted on making my sister's human mother the Queen of the Moon Demon Clan."

His fingertips gently brushed across Cai'er's tear-stained cheeks, his voice so tender it was almost broken: "That's why I brought you back specifically to tell you everything."

“I know this is hard to accept, so…” Yuehui suddenly grabbed Cai’er’s hand and pressed it hard against her left chest.

"If you cannot forgive me, you may take my life at any time." He closed his eyes, but a relieved smile appeared on his lips. "To die by your dagger is perhaps the best ending for me."
