When Shuang Yun confronted He Guang, Sang Ye gradually calmed down from his extreme anger.
He returned to his human form and got dressed. His long black hair hung down his cheeks. His eyes were as cold and deep as ink on his pale face.
If they hadnât seen it with their own eyes, no one would have imagined that such a cold and indifferent male beast would be a bloodthirsty demon.
Huanhuan struggled to stand, but her body was too weak to do so. In the end, Bai Di picked her up.
She pointed in Sang Yeâs direction. âGo there.â
Bai Di carried her over.
Huanhuan saw two bloody marks on Sang Yeâs neck and quickly said, âYouâre injured. Iâll get you some medicine.â
Sang Ye held her hand. âIâm fine. Theyâre just flesh wounds. Iâll recover soon.â
âWhat if the wounds get infected?â Huanhuan insisted on applying the medicine.
Sang Ye had no choice but to turn his head, revealing his most vulnerable neck.
Huanhuan carefully applied the pulp of the crispy fruits, then bandaged the wound with a cotton cloth.
She asked, âDo you have any other wounds?â
Sang Ye shook his head. âNo.â
âReally?â
âYes.â Sang Ye reached out and carefully touched her shoulder. âDoes the wound still hurt?â
Huanhuan smiled at him. âIt doesnât hurt.â
Sang Ye lowered his head and kissed her shoulder. His long hair fell on her shoulder like seaweed.
Huanhuan stroked his hair. âIt really doesnât hurt.â
Sang Ye looked up at Huanhuan, then at He Guang and the others not far away. Finally, his gaze landed on Xuan Wei.
Xuan Wei looked back at him calmly.
In unison, they both remembered their last conversationâ
Xuan Wei said that he could hide for a while but not forever.
In the end, his words came true.
He Guang said sternly, âHand over this demon and we wonât pursue the crime of harboring a demon!â
âImpossible!â Shuang Yun refused without hesitation.
âIn that case, donât blame us for being rude to you!â He Guang led the beast soldiers in Sang Yeâs direction!
Shuang Yun immediately led the wolf beasts to stop them.
The two groups of people who were fighting hand in hand just now were fighting fiercely with each other in the blink of an eye.
Frightened, Huanhuan quickly said to Bai Di, âGo help Shuang Yun. Donât let him suffer.â
Bai Di handed Huanhuan over to Sang Ye to take care of. Then, he transformed into a white tiger and rushed into the battle to help Shuang Yun.
Xuan Wei was still standing not far away, watching everything calmly.
He wouldnât turn on his brother, but he wouldnât fight to protect a demon either.
When they first started fighting, both sides had reservations.
However, as the number of conflicts increased, the anger between the two sides became stronger and stronger. Their attacks became more and more ruthless. Soon, some beasts were injured and blood was seen.
This was even worse.
Since there was blood, it meant that the other party was definitely planning to take the beastâs life!
The battle was escalating, and it was about to end.
Sang Ye finally made a decision.
He lowered his eyes and said softly, âI should leave.â
Huanhuan was stunned. âWhere are you going?â
âMy identity has been discovered. I have to leave here to ensure your safety.â
Huanhuan quickly grabbed his collar. âI wonât let you leave!â
Sang Ye looked at him silently, his dark eyes still cold.
Huanhuanâs heart ached under his gaze. She sniffed and sounded like she was crying. âI wonât let you go. Donât leave me alone!â
Although Sang Ye no longer had the ability to feel, his heart still ached when he saw the little femaleâs red eyes.
He hugged Huanhuan tightly and whispered into her ear, âI canât bear to leave you either, but for the peace of the rock mountain, I have to leave. After Iâm gone, youâll pretend to have been deceived by me. Youâll say that Iâm an undercover agent pretending to be an ordinary beast and push everything on me. Say that you didnât know anything.â
âIâm not afraid of them, and neither is the Rock Wolf Tribe.â
âLittle fool, do you know how serious the crime of harboring demons is? If youâre convicted of colluding with the demons, youâll become the enemy of the entire beast continent. At that time, the beast cities will send an army to suppress you. The other tribes will also treat you as enemies. Thereâll be no place for you on the beast continent in the future.â
Huanhuan shook her head. âNo, it wonât come to that. We can think of something elseâ¦â
âBack then, my parents hid like rats every day in order to be together, but in the end, they couldnât escape the fate of being hunted. I had many brothers, but during my escape, they all died for various reasons. I was the only one who survived. I donât want us to be like my parents. I donât want to watch our children die without being able to do anything.â
His little female needed to live every day innocently and happily like a child.
The darkness and despair were his to bear.
Huanhuan looked at him with tears in her eyes. She couldnât speak, so she grabbed his collar tightly and refused to let go.
âDonât cry. This separation is only temporary. Iâll definitely come back in the future. At that time, Iâll be so powerful that no one will dare to break us up again.â
Huanhuan still shook her head and begged with tears in her eyes, âI donât want to be separated from you. I donât want you to goâ¦â
Sang Ye kissed her cheek. âIâll spend every day in the future missing you. I hope youâll remember me when I return.â
âDonât goâ¦â
âI once promised you that I would take good care of myself and make you feel at ease. You have to promise me now that youâll take good care of yourself and not worry me.â
Huanhuan hugged his neck. Hot tears fell onto his skin.
Sang Ye asked, âCan you promise me?â
Huanhuan didnât want to agree with him.
But she knew that no matter what she said now, he wouldnât change his mind.
Sang Ye knelt on one knee and placed her on the ground.
She clung to his neck and refused to let go.
Sang Ye firmly but gently pulled her hands apart. Then, he lowered his head and kissed the contract ring on her ring finger. Like a knight, he swore loyalty to his queen. âIâll be back. Wait for me in peace.â
Huanhuan looked at the male beast kneeling on one knee in front of her and cried until she couldnât speak.
Sang Ye wiped the tears off her face. âDonât cry. Your tears will freeze.â
He kissed the corner of her eye, then let go. He got up and took a step back.
The wind and snow were getting stronger. His long black hair was already covered in snow.
It was as white as snow.
He was like a hero in his twilight years.
Sang Ye turned into a huge python and took one last look at Huanhuan. Then, he turned around, wagged his snake tail, and quickly slithered away.
Huanhuan quickly chased after him. âDonât go!â
Unfortunately, she was too slow compared to Sang Ye.
After she took two steps, the python had already disappeared into the snow.
Huanhuan was already weak. At this moment, she swayed and fell miserably into the snow.
She struggled to raise her head. She looked in the direction Sang Ye had left. Her tears fell again.
âI promise you, Iâll take good care of myself. Iâll promise you anythingâ¦â
Tears streaked down her cheeks, and they were frozen by the wind and snow. It hurt.
But this time, no one came to wipe the tears from her eyes. No one told herâ
âDonât cry, your tears will freeze.â
