It was time to bid the woman that he brought back to his kingdom goodbye, Demon Lord Zhurong held onto the hand of Xu Hui whose eyes were covered, this was to keep his identity as the demon lord hidden and the location of his realm from being exposed to those from the pugilistic world.
"As promised, I'm taking you back to continue your life as the young mistress of the YuanLi sect."
Demon Lord Zhurong spoke in a neutral tone, not wanting the other to feel burdened by the feelings he for her.
"Did I do anything to offend you?!"
Xu Hui could not help but ask when she sensed that the way the demon lord was acting was different from before, she could feel that distance between them that became more evident after they came back from their walk when he almost kissed her under the radiant plum tree.
"You haven't annoyed me, I only want to uphold my bargain."
