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

Chapter 103 This is easy, I'll just become emperor, won't I?
(Thank you, dream!)
...

"I can't do it."

Cai'er suddenly threw herself into Yuehui's arms, her tears instantly soaking his clothes.

Her fingertips gripped his robes tightly, as if afraid that if she let go, the person in front of her would vanish into nothingness.

She loves him.
If she hadn't already fallen deeply in love, how could she have tolerated his "excessive" demands?

If my heart hadn't already fallen for him, why would I have indulged him time and time again?
She heard every word Yuehui said clearly.

There was no hypocrisy, no scheming; every word was a heartfelt expression.

But that's precisely why she's in even more pain.

She is the Holy Maiden of the Assassin's Temple, tasked with eliminating the high-ranking members of the Demon Clan.

At this moment, she should not hesitate to draw her dagger and pierce the heart of the Moon Demon Prince.

But her hands were trembling, and her heart was in turmoil.

She couldn't bring herself to do it.
Yuehui felt the person in her arms trembling violently, and slowly tightened her arms around them.

"I should hate you," Cai'er's voice was hoarse and nasal. "I should kill you right now."

But when she raised her head, there was no murderous intent in her eyes, which were washed by tears; there was only deep struggle and pain.

Yuehui raised her hand, her fingertips gently tracing her damp cheek, her voice low and husky: "I know."

"But why didn't you run away?" Cai'er suddenly asked, a hint of hope in her voice that she herself didn't realize. "You could have continued to pretend, you could... you didn't have to tell me any of this."

Yuehui gave a bitter smile, her pale face reflected in her purple eyes: "Because I don't want to lie to you anymore."

“Every time I get close to you, every time I look into your eyes, I feel like a complete liar.”

"I'd rather you hate me than let lies tarnish our relationship any further."

Cai'er shuddered, memories flashing back like a revolving lantern—

Moonlight's gentle gaze in ordinary times, and its subtle protection during battles.

There was also the moment of life and death at Zhennan Pass, when he forcibly activated power beyond his limit, summoned the phantom of the Moon Demon Pillar, and used the Divine Descent Technique to kill An Luoxian, just to prevent her from suffering the backlash of the Reincarnation Spirit Furnace, but he almost lost his own life.
Are they all fake?
No. She knew better than anyone that all that tenderness and concern was genuine.

Just like now, he would rather die in her hands than continue deceiving her—that's how real it is.

“I hate you.” Cai’er’s voice trembled slightly, almost inaudible.

But her hand gripped Yuehui's sleeve tightly, as if she were clinging to the last piece of driftwood.

Yuehui closed his eyes, pulled her into a deep embrace, and said in a low, husky voice with a bittersweet tenderness, "Yes, I should hate."

"Why?" Cai'er looked up abruptly, tears welling in her eyes. "Why did you give me warmth I'd never experienced before? Why did you make me fall in love with you!"

Moonlight's fingertips gently brushed against her damp cheek, his voice low and apologetic: "I'm sorry."

Cai'er took a deep breath, and the struggle in her eyes gradually turned into determination.

She raised her hand to stroke Moonbeam's face and whispered, "So from now on, there will be no more Reincarnation Saintess Cai'er of the Assassin's Temple, only Moonbeam's Cai'er. Whatever decision you make, I will stand by your side."

“Cai’er.” Yuehui was stunned, her purple eyes widening slightly.

He looked into her eyes, brimming with emotion, and felt as if something warm had struck his chest.

He cupped her small face in his hands, his fingertips trembling slightly, and finally could not restrain himself any longer, so he lowered his head and kissed her cherry-colored lips.

...

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Cai'er nestled in Yuehui's embrace. Her fingertips unconsciously traced the silver patterns on his robe, and she softly asked:

"What do you plan to do in the future? Become the Lord of the Magic Temple? Or return to the Moon Demon Clan to inherit the position of Demon God?"

Moonlight's slender fingers gently stroked her hair, lightning flashing in her purple eyes: "I've said it before, although we despise the identity of the demon race, the mark in our blood can never be erased."

He tightened his arms around her waist. "That's why Father sent me to infiltrate the human race, hoping that one day I could help the human race defeat the Demon Emperor and give the Moon Demon Clan a chance to integrate into the human race."

"What?" Cai'er looked up abruptly, her pupils shrinking slightly.

She never expected that the Moon Demon God, the Marshal of the Demon Clan and the second strongest among the Demon Clan, would secretly plot such a "betrayal"!
"And the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu," Yuehui's lips curled into a sarcastic smile, "He expects me to become the leader of the human race, persuade the human race to surrender to the demon race, and end this war that has lasted for six thousand years."

"And what about you? What do you think?" Cai'er stared into his eyes.

Moonlight smiled slightly: "Of course I also want to end this six-thousand-year war."

He paused, his gaze deepening, "But it's not about one person eliminating another, nor is it about making humanity submit to the demons."

"What I want is a future of true equality between the two races," he said softly. "As for those inferior demons who only know how to kill..."

His voice carried a hint of coldness, "Let them become a thing of the past."

Cai'er frowned slightly: "But how can this be achieved?"

Moonlight suddenly smiled, a smile filled with unwavering certainty: "It's simple—just make me the new emperor, isn't that enough?"

……

Watching Yuehui lead Cai'er back, Yueye's gaze lingered for a moment on Cai'er's slightly reddened eyes, and a playful smile curved his lips.

"Oh~ You've finally decided to come back?" She deliberately drew out her words, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "It seems our Moon Demon Clan's Crown Princess has been completely subdued?"

Cai'er lowered her head even further, and the tips of her ears were tinged with a faint blush.

"Sister." Yuehui took a step to the side, shielding Cai'er behind her, "Are Father and His Majesty still in the council chamber?"

Yueye snorted softly, crossed her arms, and said, "You've forgotten about your sister now that you have a wife, haven't you?"

She pouted. "He's probably drinking again. Every time His Majesty comes to see Father, isn't it always about the drinks?"

"The Moonlit Merchant Guild just delivered a batch of special human brew a few days ago. I haven't even had a chance to send it to the Demon Heart Palace yet, but His Majesty has already come here after smelling the aroma."

Yuehui's lips twitched involuntarily. The mighty Demon Emperor himself had come to the Moon Demon Palace, just to—ask for a drink? This reason left him momentarily at a loss for words.

"What are your plans next? Are you going to stay in the Moon Demon Palace?" Yueye asked, toying with the wine glass in her hand.

Yuehui gently shook her head: "We're preparing to set off. The main reason we came back this time was to introduce Cai'er to her family. Now that she's already met them..."

He paused for a moment, then said, "It's time to continue our journey."

"You come empty-handed to meet the parents?" Yueye raised an eyebrow, her tone clearly showing dissatisfaction.

"Sister," Yuehui said helplessly, spreading her hands. "You are clearly much richer than me. I'm penniless right now."

Yueye glared at her younger brother with annoyance, then suddenly turned to Cai'er: "Cai'er!"

"Huh?" Cai'er looked up, somewhat bewildered.

"Here, take this as a gift."

Under the moonlight, he took off the dark purple gemstone necklace from his neck and gently placed it around Cai'er's neck.

Under the moonlight, it seemed as if stars were flowing within the gemstone.

Cai'er was taken aback at first, then broke into a genuine smile: "Thank you, sister."
