Chapter 50

He Chen said, “His Majesty has never liked any other woman. The way he treated you was partly to get your attention, and partly because. I already said this, please don’t be angry. Your personality is lively, you treat everyone kindly. When His Majesty saw you being friendly with other men, he got jealous, sulked. That’s why he acted the way he did toward you.”
Hearing this, a trace of helplessness appeared in Xing Luo’s eyes. She hadn’t expected Ye Lixiao to be such a stubborn, awkward person.
And it had all been because of her.
Xing Luo leaned gently against Ye Lixiao’s chest and whispered, “Ye Lixiao, it might be a little late to say this now, but I like you too. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have teased you before, couldn’t help getting close to you. I didn’t understand those feelings back then, but now I do. Ye Lixiao, if you can wake up, I’ll be with you.”
“Really?” Ye Lixiao’s weak voice came slowly.
Xing Luo and He Chen immediately widened their eyes, looking over.
Ye Lixiao was awake. His face was still pale, but his gaze toward Xing Luo was filled with tenderness.
Xing Luo quickly took the box containing the antidote. “Ye Lixiao, quickly break the seal and take the antidote!”
But Ye Lixiao didn’t glance at the box. He stared straight at Xing Luo. “Luo’er. what you just said. is it true? You really. like me? And. you’re willing to be with me?”
Xing Luo didn’t answer immediately. She lowered her head and pressed a gentle kiss to his thin lips, then asked, “What do you think?”
“…” Ye Lixiao froze, though his heart was racing wildly.
Xing Luo cooed softly, “Come on, little darling, obediently take the antidote.”
“…” He Chen quietly slipped out. His Majesty was mostly fine now; he didn’t want to stay and witness the couple’s display of affection.
Ye Lixiao obediently took the antidote.
It would still take some time for him to fully recover.
After taking the antidote, Ye Lixiao refused to rest. He held Xing Luo’s hand tightly, staring at her, afraid it was all a dream, afraid she might run away.
Xing Luo said, “Why are you staring at me like that? I’m not going anywhere. You need to rest now.”
Ye Lixiao still wouldn’t let go. “Luo’er, kiss me one more time.”
Xing Luo replied, “I’ll kiss you one more time, and then you rest, alright? Don’t worry, I’m not leaving. I’ll stay here with you.”
“Okay.” Hearing her promise not to leave, Ye Lixiao finally relaxed.
Xing Luo bent down and pressed another gentle kiss to his thin lips. After that kiss, fearing it wasn’t enough, she kissed him once more.
“…” A clear curve of a smile appeared on Ye Lixiao’s lips. Only then did he obediently close his eyes, hiding the sweet smile in his gaze.
At this moment, Ye Lixiao felt that everything he had done had been worth it.
…
One month later, The Demon Realm Court.
Within the grand hall stood the civil and military officials.
Ye Lixiao sat on the throne, holding a breathtakingly beautiful woman in his arms. In his hand was a bunch of grapes, peeling them one by one and feeding them to her.
Xing Luo ate a few grapes, clearly pleased. She lifted her small head and planted a playful peck on Ye Lixiao’s thin lips. A clear smile appeared on the man’s lips immediately.
However, the officials below had mixed feelings upon seeing this.
The military officials didn’t mind. They already knew Xing Luo’s identity in the Ghost Realm: the Demon King and the Demon Queen, the two strongest beings in the world together, no problem!
But the civil officials, who didn’t know the truth, were worried. They truly feared for the future of the Demon Realm.
