"Father, what, what are you talking about?"
The Qi King's words not only stunned Rui and the rest, it also caused the other party involved, the cheeky little princess Mo Momo, to blush.
Chu Rui's mouth twitched slightly, not only because of Mo Momo's blushing face, but also because she was glancing in his direction unconsciously. Even an idiot could tell that a young girl was in love. Moreover, the left and right sides of his waist were currently undergoing a severe test. Even though Angeliana and Christina were his female slaves, he had never treated them as such from the start. He had also told them that he only wanted to borrow their fighting strength. That was all. He did not ask for anything else.
A jealous woman was terrifying. No matter what her identity was, as long as she was a woman, that was enough!
"I say, King Qi, back then, I went to spy on you in order to obtain the Supreme Demon Fire. When he left, he even looted your treasure trove. Don't confuse right and wrong! "
The pain in his waist, coupled with Mo Youcheng's sharp gaze, made Chu Rui feel as if he was walking on a tightrope on a cliff. Furthermore, he was being harassed by eagles from time to time, and he was walking on a difficult tightrope while braving the biting cold wind!
Rui's words, of course, explained everything clearly, but it caused Mo Momo's face to turn pale. This made Chu Rui's heart skip a beat, and his expression turned ugly. He had been so focused on getting out of this predicament that he had forgotten how much damage his words would bring to Mo Momo. Even though Mo Momo had always been a mischievous girl, she was still a woman, a young girl. A young girl's heart was very fragile.
When King Qi had proposed to her in front of her, she had clearly acquiesced. However, Chu Rui's EQ was too low. He had only said the truth, but in Mo Momo's heart, he was clearly evading the marriage. Even though the women of the Demon Realm were bold and shrewish, rejecting marriage in front of everyone was a complete humiliation. Not to mention her, the proud princess, even an ordinary woman would not be able to tolerate it.
"This prince only has one thing to say. Are you going to marry my daughter or not?"
Seeing Mo Momo's deathly pale face and the tears gathering in her eyes, King Qi immediately felt his heart ache immensely. She looked at Chu Rui, who had changed from a handsome man to a ferocious one.
"King Qi, by sending your daughter away like this, you are being irresponsible to her lifelong happiness! … Perhaps in your eyes, I'm a talented young man who can be molded. But do you know me? Do you know where I come from? To tell you the truth, your brother, the previous Devil Emperor Mo Wenqing, was indirectly killed by me. Moreover, in the future, I will have to deal with the belief totem of your Demon Realm — the Heavenly Demon! Do you still think that I'm someone worthy of entrusting your daughter to? "
Chu Rui did not know what Mo Momo was thinking. From his point of view, he had only met her two or three times, and they were not deep meetings. It was impossible for them to have feelings for each other. Not only that, he had also taught this princess, who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth, a lesson. If she said that she was an enemy, he would believe her. Mo Momo's current expression was only due to the humiliation of being rejected.
"What?"
King Qi's eyes were very sharp. He saw Chu Rui's potential at first glance. A young man like him would have a limitless future. Thus, he had an idea. However, he never expected Chu Rui to be such a person. He had killed the previous emperor and shamelessly declared that he would be an enemy of the Heavenly Demon. One must know that the Heavenly Demon in the hearts of the Demon Realm was equivalent to Pangu in the hearts of the humans.
"I owe you a favor!"
Ignoring King Qi's stunned expression, Chu Rui turned to look at Devil City and sighed softly. His expression was very gentle. Humans were not plants. How could they be emotionless? Back then, he approached Devil City with impure motives. It was only because she was a member of the imperial family that he wanted to use her as a breakthrough point to find information about the Life Pearl and Supreme Demon Flame of the Demon Realm. However, after getting along, especially during the days when they were attacking the Blackfiend Stronghold, they lived in the same tent. Although they did not help each other in times of need, at least the foundation of their relationship had been established. However, all of this was destroyed by Mo Wenqing.
Mo Wenqing was Devil City's father. No matter what he was like, it could not change the ironclad fact that blood was thicker than water between them. Moreover, Mo Wenqing treated Devil City very well. Even if Mo Wenqing was not killed by Chu Rui personally, he could not escape the responsibility. This was a hurdle that could not be crossed. The relationship between them could only be stifled along with this unresolvable knot in their hearts. However, Chu Rui was a sentimental person. Even if he was not wrong, he still felt that he owed Devil City. Therefore, he proposed this condition and owed a favor that he did not want to owe the most.
The Heart of Chaos shone brightly as a wisp of Devil City's soul imprint entered it without any hindrance. This was a special ability left behind by the Chain of Stars and Moon. It could imprint the soul imprint of the opposite sex who had true feelings for the wearer. From there, the wearer could hear the cries in their hearts when they opened their hearts. At the same time, the wearer could break through everything and be teleported to her side.
Chu Rui's expression was very complicated. The entry of Devil City's soul imprint proved that he was truly in her heart! However, he had no choice but to let her down! If it was in the past, with Chu Rui's domineering personality, he would have used his own methods to keep her by his side regardless of whether she agreed or not. However, facing Devil City, he did not dare and could not do so. How could he, who valued relationships the most, ignore the feelings of others? This was different from Elven Empress Azshara. This was the enmity of killing his father. How could he let Devil City let it go?
The Heart of Chaos reacted to Mo Momo, but it did not successfully absorb the soul imprint. This meant that Mo Momo had feelings for him, but it had not reached the level of love.
"What do you want me to do? As long as it doesn't go against my principles and bottom line, I will do anything for you, no matter what it is! "
Chu Rui looked at Devil City with a complicated expression. He really wanted to hug her in his arms, especially when the Heart of Chaos had successfully absorbed her soul imprint. This impulse was even stronger. However, he could not. Reason controlled him! He did not want Devil City to be in a dilemma between love and family. He did not want her to be tortured. Rather than that, it was better to break it off. At least, she would feel much better. However, he did not give up. Time could not heal everything, but it still had some effect.
"No, I won't let you do anything. I want you to owe me. You will owe me forever!"
Devil City finally could not maintain the image of a Devil Empress. She looked at Chu Rui, crystal clear tears falling down her jade-white cheeks.
