Chapter 261

Xi looked at Mo Heng’s dull appearance and slightly blushed, saying in a low voice, “Well, I’m leaving.”

Xi turned around and wanted to leave but she was dragged back by Mo Heng. Then, he just kissed her passionately.

Unlike Xi’s peck, Mo Heng’s kiss was bossy and wild. Precocious as he was, compared with Xi, he was a lot better.

Feeling Mo Heng’s passion, Xi slowly closed her eyes, absorbed in their love.

After a kiss, Xi collapsed in Mo Heng’s arms feebly.

Looking at Xi’s red face with slightly swollen red lips, Mo Heng felt turned on and held Xi more tightly. Holding back the urge to kiss her again, Mo Heng carried Xi in his arms, “I’ll take you back.”

Xi was so shy that she buried her whole face in Mo Heng’s arms. Smelling Mo Heng’s unique scent, Xi narrowed her eyes happily.

In the Nianxue Palace.

Mo Heng carried Xi into her room without alerting the maids in the palace.

He put Xi on the arhat bed gently and kissed her on the forehead, “Rest well. I’ll go back now.”

Xi hated to part from him but still nodded obediently.

Having taken a glance at Xi, Mo Heng disappeared from the room with a flash.

After Mo Heng left, Xi fell asleep. For the whole night, Xi’s lips were curled. Evidently, she was in a good mood.

In the Mo Palace of the Beast World.

Mo Heng was dumbfounded to see Jun Wuxie. Then, he gestured for all the servants to leave.

Seeing that Mo Heng came back, Jun Wuxie relaxed his stiff face, “Did the girl go back?”

“Yeah.” Seeing Jun Wuxie who was teasing him, Mo Heng slightly knitted his brows, sat next to him and poured tea for the two of them.

Jun Wuxie looked at Mo Heng and said with a serious face, “Do you like that girl?”

Mo Heng stopped pouring tea for a bit.

“She’s Xi.” Mo Heng seemed to be unsatisfied with Jun Wuxie addressing Xi as the girl, so he directly told Jun Wuxie her name.

Jun Wuxie’s eyes flickered. Judging from Mo Heng’s reaction, Mo Heng must have feelings for her. Otherwise, given Mo Heng’s character, if he was not interested in her, he wouldn’t give any response.

After being silent for a while, Jun Wuxie suddenly said, “You can’t like her!”

Hearing that, Mo Heng looked at Jun Wuxie with a strange expression, “Do you…”

Seeing Mo Heng’s weird expression, Jun Wuxie directly jumped up from the chair and said furiously, “Nonsense! I don’t like men!” What was wrong with Mo Heng? Jun Wuxie was clearly straight!

Staring at Jun Wuxie’s furious face, Mo Heng let out a sigh of relief and asked in confusion with a frown, “Then, why do you…” He didn’t understand why Jun Wuxie coaxed him to get a woman but now objected to him being with Xi.

Jun Wuxie hesitated and then sat back on the chair. He picked up the tea and took a gulp.

Looking at the abnormal Jun Wuxie, Mo Heng frowned more heavily and faintly had a bad foreboding.

After another moment of silence, Jun Wuxie said, “She’s my aunt’s daughter.” The moment he saw that girl, he found her familiar. Having returned to the Demon Palace, the more he thought, the more familiar he felt. Afterward, he went to his father’s study and saw his aunt’s portrait. It was not until then that he realized the girl was his aunt’s daughter because her purple eyes were the same as his aunt’s.

Mo Heng was slightly dazed to hear that. It turned out that Xi was Wuxie’s cousin. So, Xi’s mother was the princess of the Demon World, but he barely heard that there was a princess in the Demon World.

“My aunt is Jun Yingxue, the only princess in the history of Demon World. The patriarch of the Jun Family was cursed that the whole family wouldn’t have daughters forever. Hence, there had never been a daughter in our family before my grandma gave birth to my aunt. After my aunt was born, everyone thought the curse had been broken. However, to our astonishment, my aunt was born with a demon curse.” Jun Wuxie revealed a faintly sad look. Now, Jun Wuxie looked very different from his usual expression.

Born with a demon curse? Mo Heng suddenly thought of Xi and subconsciously clenched his hand.

Seeming not to notice the change in Mo Heng’s behavior, Jun Wuxie still muttered to himself.

“At the very beginning, my dad didn’t know what the demon curse in my aunt was. He only knew that my grandpa and grandma watched her closely and never let her associate with outsiders. Over time, my aunt could only stay in the Demon Palace. Outsiders didn’t even know about my aunt. My grandpa and grandma loved my aunt very much but she wasn’t happy. One day, while my grandparents were out, my dad took my aunt to the Immortal World to see his good friend, Lou Che, the Heavenly Emperor. Afterward, my aunt fell in love with Lou Che.”

Mo Heng frowned, “Is this your intentional act?” After saying so much, Jun Wuxie still didn’t get to the point.

Jun Wuxie took a sideways glance at Mo Heng. He was found so quickly. Mo Heng was smart as always, but it also suggested that he really cared about Xi. It was just that they…

“What on earth is the demon curse in your aunt?” Mo Heng was obviously anxious. At other times, he wouldn’t care about so much.

Jun Wuxie hesitated and dropped his eyes, saying in a low voice, “She couldn’t bear children and even if she did, she would die!”

Mo Heng’s heart thumped, “So, Xi…” His husky voice was faintly expectant. Although he had known the answer, he still expected that Xi wasn’t cursed.

Hearing Mo Heng’s trembling voice, Jun Wuxie felt sorry for him and then took a deep breath, “The same to her.” Jun Wuxie hated to say that, but he had to tell Mo Heng the truth.

The glass was smashed. The red blood mixed with the tea dropped to the table, dripping along the table. However, Mo Heng still clenched the fragments of the cup as if not feeling any pain.

Staring at Mo Heng losing his mind, Jun Wuxie frowned. Was the attachment between them already so strong? What should they do now?

“Is there any way to crack the curse?” A while later, Mo Heng asked in a low voice.

Jun Wuxie dropped his eyes and said gently, “If there were a solution, my aunt wouldn’t die; my grandparents wouldn’t die in grief; my father wouldn’t be sick out of guilt and then fall grievously ill.” Jun Wuxie’s voice was slightly sobbing in the end.

“That’s why I said you couldn’t like her.” He didn’t want to see him and Xi repeat the tragedy of the Heavenly Emperor and his aunt. If anything untoward happened to Xi, given his character, Mo Heng would definitely be crazier than the Heavenly Emperor.

Mo Heng didn’t speak. A while later, he said, “I’m fine with having no children.” His deep voice was full of determination.

Jun Wuxie was slightly dazed to hear that. He didn’t expect Mo Heng would make such a decision. Mo Heng and he were different. He had parents since childhood. On the contrary, Mo Heng was parentless. Jun Wuxie knew Mo Heng longed for family love. He didn’t expect Mo Heng would choose not to have children for Xi’s sake.

Jun Wuxie turned to look at Mo Heng, “Have you thought that through?”

Hearing that, Mo Heng leaned against the back of the chair and looked up at the ceiling, “Without her, maybe I would be lonely for a lifetime.” If he stayed lonely for a lifetime, he would have no children either. Since he was fated to have no descendants for a lifetime, why would he bother to struggle? Hence, he didn’t want kids but Xi.

Jun Wuxie was slightly dazed to hear that. At the thought of Mo Heng’s detachment from women, a shimmer of delight crossed his eyes. Indeed, if he didn’t meet Xi, Mo Heng would stay single his whole life. Actually, for Jun Wuxie, it would be the same. He might stay single for a lifetime if he didn’t meet the right person!

They didn’t notice a person dressed like a servant outside the room leave in secret after hearing their conversation.

In the Monster King’s Palace of the Monster World.

After hearing the report of the man in black, Liqing directly jumped up from the chair.

“Be careful. You haven’t recovered yet!” A maid aside was about to help Liqing up when she was slapped away by Liqing.

Liqing stared at the man in black kneeling on the ground and said with a sinister face, “Seriously? Did he really say that?”

Looking at Liqing’s sinister face, the man in black nodded with fear, “Yes, that’s exactly what Lord Beast God and Lord Demon Sovereign said.”

Hearing that, Liqing was so angry that she threw all the things on the table to the ground. He could give up his descendants for that woman. Was the woman worth his obsession?

As Liqing got mad, the maids in the room all knelt and prostrated themselves, “Your Highness, please don’t be mad.”

Liqing slightly narrowed her coquettish eyes. She wanted to see if they could be lovey-dovey all the time.

In the Nianxue Palace of the Immortal World.

Upon opening her eyes, Xi just stared at the black jade pendant. What should she do? She started to miss Mo Heng as long as she opened her eyes. Would it be too rash if she knocked on the jade pendant now? Yet, she missed him so much now!

While Xi was dithering over whether to knock on the jade pendant, someone knocked on the door, “Xi.”

Hearing the familiar voice, Xi hurriedly put away the jade pendant, “Come in.

Right after Xi finished speaking, there came a squeak.

“Father.” Upon seeing the Heavenly Emperor, Xi jumped off the bed and sprang into his arms.

Heavenly Emperor caught Xi as usual and cast a glance at Xi, “How old are you? Why are you still acting like a kid?”

Xi stuck her tongue at the Heavenly Emperor with disgruntlement, “I’m not like a kid. I’m 1,000 years old. I can be called an old spirit in the Mortal World.” She didn’t want to be a kid. She had grown up. She wanted to marry Mo Heng.

The Heavenly Emperor’s eyes flickered. It had been 1,000 years? Why did he feel as if hundreds of thousands of years had passed? Life was too long without Xue’s company.
