Bai Lei looks at Nova with heart-wrenching pain. He keeps his face blank but he's struggling to keep control. She looks so different... still as beautiful as always but her eyes don't seem to recognize him at all. There's nothing... not even a flicker of emotion in those solid black eyes.
This bastard has her like a puppet... Bai Lei grinds his teeth in anger as he tries to remember to breathe. He knows this man has his hand around Nova's neck as a threat so he remains still as he tries to find a way to separate them.
He doesn't care how far gone she is... he'll bring her back and keep her safe so this never happens again. He glares at the Under Realm King and says "Release my woman." The man chuckles and says "Your woman? Take a closer look mighty deity, the woman is mine now." Bai Lei goes to step forward but the King quickly says "No, none of that."
