The outskirts of the Moon Fiend Territory's Central City.
Under Gray's guidance, Shien followed his footsteps and arrived at a stretch of wilderness.
There was a series of roars coming from this place. Presumably, there were a lot of monsters active here.
Shien and Gray seemed to have entered an uninhabited area. They ignored the many monsters and went straight into the wilderness.
Seeing that Gray wanted to continue forward, Shien stopped.
"Alright, let's stop here."
Shien said.
Gray immediately stopped and landed in front of Shien.
Shien did not hold back. Looking at the former prince's back, he asked directly: "What business do you have with me?"
Although it was a question, Shien had already guessed the other party's intention.
He did not know if Gray knew what was going on, but he did not turn around and spoke.
"I said, I want to talk to you."
Gray's voice was especially heavy.
"Then what does Your Highness want to talk to me about?"
Sean said as if he didn't care.
"… You know." Gray was silent for a while before saying: "I gave up everything to come here, just for one person."
In other words, the only thing he would care about was something related to this person.
But Shien did not cooperate.
"What does this have to do with me?"
Shien pointed out calmly.
"Nothing?" Gray finally turned around and stared at Shien: "Don't pretend you don't know, hero Shien. You know that I want to talk to you about Her Highness Chafine."
As expected, Gray came to Shien because of Chafine.
Shien could naturally guess the reason.
"Because I'm too close to Chafine, you couldn't help but come to warn me, right?"
Shien's tone was slightly sarcastic.
"That's not what I meant." Gray frowned and looked straight at Shien: "I just want to know what's going on between you and Her Highness."
Gray had thought about this question for half a month but could not come up with an answer.
He really did not understand.
"Why are you suddenly so close to Her Highness? Is it because you are her brother-in-law? "Gray shook his head and said:" I can see that's not the main reason. "
"So?" Shien did not answer and asked: "You want to learn from me how to get closer to Chafine?"
"… I said that's not what I meant." Gray's tone was inexplicably fluctuating.
Shien knew that this prince's mind was already unstable.
But Shien still did not care about his feelings.
There was no choice.
There was no other way. "Then what do you mean?" Shien said straightforwardly. "You suddenly asked me out, saying that you want to talk to me about Chafine. This situation, if not because of my relationship with Chafine, then what is it?"
Shien could more or less see through Gray's current feelings.
"You saw me getting closer and closer to Chafine, to the point that you felt that something was wrong. That's why you couldn't help but come to me like this, right?"
Shien said Gray's heart.
His feelings were actually very simple.
"You are envious, even jealous. You feel that your 20 years of hard work cannot compare to a junior who came to the Demon World for less than a month. You are very unwilling, right?"
Shien directly tore apart Gray's cover.
Gray could not say anything. Only his clenched fists told others that his feelings were definitely not calm.
Shien's gaze towards Gray gradually became full of sympathy.
"I say, Your Highness, it's about time you realized the reality."
Shien said mercilessly.
"It's impossible for you and Chafine to be together."
It was a simple sentence, but it directly pierced Gray's heart.
His breathing became heavy, and his mana gradually surged out, causing the atmosphere to buzz.
Shien continued as if he did not feel it.
"In the past 20 years, you have not even been able to enter her sight. She has no interest in you or most people in this world. Do you really think you can successfully move her?"
The cruelest reality was brought to the surface by Shien just like that.
This was something that Gray did not want to face.
He was not an idiot, nor was he a fool. How could he not know that according to the current situation, even if he invested another 20, 30, 40 years, or even the rest of his life, he would not be able to make Her Highness look him in the eye.
Everyone knew how cold and heartless Chafine was to those who had no interest in her.
Countless heroes from ancient times to the present were examples.
They had given up everything for this woman, but who could truly get what they wanted?
Not to mention getting what they wanted, even letting Chafine look at him was an extremely extravagant thing to do.
He was just an insignificant and insignificant person among the countless people.
As such, his so-called infatuation could not be exchanged for anything.
Of course, although this was heart-wrenching, it was not enough to make Gray despair.
In any case, no one could get it, so why not end his life for this unforgettable love?
Gray did not dare to hope for Chafine's favor. He only hoped that he could be near her, see her figure, and hear her voice. That was enough.
He did not dare to hope for anything else.
He had already mentally prepared himself to spend the rest of his life like this.
However, Shien's arrival broke this peace.
Seeing this young Hero getting closer and closer to Her Highness in less than a month, and even the atmosphere was getting more and more intimate, Gray's state of mind lost its balance.
If no one could obtain her, he could naturally accept that he had not been chosen.
However, if someone succeeded in fulfilling his wish, he would not be able to maintain his composure.
No one wanted to see their beloved woman in the arms of another man.
Especially since this woman was the most beautiful woman in the world, known as the number one beauty in the Three Realms. She was a beauty that could make countless heroes bow down to her. If such a person were to be obtained by someone else, even an unrelated man would feel envious and jealous, not to mention her admirers who were already infatuated with her.
It was just like this, Gray could not calm down as he watched everything unfold. As he watched Shien and Chafine get closer and closer, he finally could not hold back his impatience and walked up to Shien.
What he wanted to do was actually very simple.
"… I know that Her Highness will not be interested in someone of my level." Gray said in a deep voice, "But you already have Anxi's daughter, Her Highness the Dragon Demon, and I even heard that you have other confidantes. Are you still not satisfied?"
Yes, Gray just wanted to tell Sean that he should be satisfied, and that he shouldn't touch people he shouldn't touch.
However …
"Is this really a warning?" Shien said mockingly, "But don't you think you're being too nosy? Your Highness? "
To be honest, at this moment, Shien really looked down on Gray.
Originally, Gray took the initiative to abandon his hometown, his relatives, and even his country for a woman that he couldn't get. He was willing to guard her for more than 20 years just to see her for a few times.
To put it nicely, this was called infatuation, but to put it bluntly, he was a lowly bootlicker.
If he could bring home a beauty, that would be another matter. However, Gray, in order to look at her a few more times, had completely abandoned the country and family that he had high hopes for. His actions were simply despicable to the extreme.
However, if he wanted to lick her, Shien wouldn't say anything. After all, it had nothing to do with him. At the very least, he gave Gray enough face and treated him as an elder.
However, if he wanted to lick her, then Shien really didn't need to be too polite.
"I'm giving you some face because you're an elder of the Luo Qian family, but in the end, you've already abandoned your family. I don't need to give you this face, do you understand?"
Shien was already very straightforward.
"What do you mean?"
Gray's expression became extremely unsightly.
"What I mean is very simple." Shien said bluntly, "You and I don't have any interactions. I won't care about your business, and I hope you won't care about me."
After that, Shien turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!"
Gray suddenly flashed behind Shien and grabbed his left shoulder.
"Let go!"
Shien's left shoulder shook violently and shook off Gray's hand.
But Gray didn't retreat. Instead, he exerted more strength and grabbed Shien's right shoulder.
And this grab suddenly made Gray feel a chill in his heart.
Because …
"I'll say it again, let go."
Shien didn't shake him off again. He just said such a sentence.
His tone was very calm, but it made people's hearts palpitate.
Gray had an uncontrollable urge to let go.
But he held back.
Since he had been said to this point, Gray naturally wouldn't let go easily.
"I'll say it again." Gray said in a deep voice, "Her Highness shouldn't belong to anyone. She should always sit on the top of the clouds. Everyone can only look up to her, but they can't touch her or pull her down from the top of the clouds."
"Is that so?" Shien said calmly, "Pull her down from the altar, and it will make you so disappointed?"
"No." Gray's tone gradually returned to calmness, and then he said, "It's because if she is pulled down, then those of us who can't reach out our hands will have a chance to touch her."
Sitting on the altar, no one could reach out their hands and touch her. Naturally, everything was fine.
But when a goddess descended to the earth and fell from the altar, everyone could reach out their hands and touch her.
Under such circumstances, it was clear at a glance what would happen.
That was, everyone would crazily snatch and snatch her.
Gray didn't want to snatch her.
He just wanted to help this goddess to the altar again and let her continue to sit on the top of the clouds. She would always be so high up and so unreachable.
It was still the same sentence.
"She shouldn't belong to anyone," Gray said word by word, "including you."
Hearing this, Shien smiled.
His smile was extremely sarcastic.
"Arrogant bootlicker."
Terrifying magic surged out of Shien's body.
"Get lost!"
