Liu Changsheng stood in the void, his heart in utter turmoil, his face dark with gloom. Ever since he became the Demon Emperor, nothing had ever made him feel so at a loss. Even when attacked by powerful emperors, he remained calm and composed.
But at this moment, the once peerless Demon Emperor who roamed the heavens and earth could not remain calm.
His eyes were filled with complex emotions, and the murderous intent in his gaze towards Chu Yang was palpable.
However, no matter how much he wanted to obliterate Chu Yang, he was helpless.
If he killed Chu Yang, his daughter would die along with him.
How could he bear that?
Liu Changsheng was in turmoil for a long time, standing dazedly in the void.
Finally, he looked at Liu Xiaoxiao and, almost word by word, said, "Liu Xiaoxiao, if you dare to step out of the Demon Sect's gates today, don't ever acknowledge me as your father again. From today onwards, our father-daughter relationship is severed!"
Hearing this, Liu Xiaoxiao visibly trembled.
In that instant, her eyes welled up with tears.
Her heart was in constant struggle and hesitation.
On one side was her most beloved father, and on the other was the man she adored the most.
How could she make such a choice? Liu Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes remained fixed on Liu Changsheng, unable to make a decision for a long time.
After a long while.
Bang! Liu Xiaoxiao suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowing heavily nine times towards Liu Changsheng.
Blood dripped from her forehead.
After this, she took Chu Yang's hand again and walked out of the Demon Sect without looking back.
Liu Changsheng's eyes were vacant. He couldn't believe that his most cherished daughter would make such a decision! Gazing at their gradually disappearing figures, tears streamed down Liu Changsheng's face.
As a Demon Emperor, he wept at this moment.
He raised his hand, reaching out towards the void ahead, softly murmuring, "Xiaoxiao..."
At this moment, he felt a mix of emotions, a deep pang of heartache. He stood there dazed for a long time before turning back to the Demon Sect, feeling somewhat desolate.
For Liu Xiaoxiao, she had to choose between him and Chu Yang. But wasn't he in the same situation? If he weren't bound by the chains of the Demon Sect, wouldn't he accompany his daughter in her defiance?
But he couldn't. The vast Demon Sect, the ever-present Supreme Demon Elder...
Liu Changsheng sighed and finally disappeared into the depths of the Demon Sect.
...
Outside the Heavenly Emperor's realm.
The cultivators were moved by this scene.
At the same time, they were surprised and amazed.
If they could barely accept what Liu Xiaoxiao had done for Chu Yang before, her complete severance of father-daughter ties now was beyond their expectations.
How much had Liu Xiaoxiao done for Chu Yang in just one day? Fighting fellow sect members!
Soul Bonding!
Severing father-daughter ties!
They never expected Liu Xiaoxiao to choose Chu Yang without hesitation in such a situation.
Once she made this decision, she would face unimaginable dangers in the future.
Not only would she lose her father's and the Demon Sect's protection, but she would also have to worry about the sect's enemies seeking revenge and the Supreme Demon Elder soon to emerge from seclusion!
A cultivator sighed, "If there were a woman in this world who could treat me like the Demon Empress treats him, I wouldn't mind dying."
"Haha, if my beloved were even one percent as devoted as the Demon Empress, I would die without regrets."
The hearts of the cultivators were heavy, moved by Liu Xiaoxiao's actions.
Even those accustomed to great storms couldn't help but be touched by such deep affection.
At this moment, they finally understood what it meant to be deeply in love, beyond mockery.
It was unimaginable how much impact Liu Xiaoxiao and Chu Yang's story had on them.
In this world, it would be hard to find another person as devoted as Liu Xiaoxiao.
However, thinking about Liu Xiaoxiao's likely tragic end, they couldn't help but sigh.
The Emperor is truly heartless!
There is always unrequited love in this world, and this time seemed no exception.
Even though Liu Xiaoxiao loved Chu Yang so selflessly, she never truly entered his heart.
From beginning to end, Chu Yang was only cold to her.
How tragic.
Not far away, the Child of Destiny, who witnessed this scene, had been displeased for a long time.
He was almost hysterically resentful, roaring in his heart.
Why could the Emperor receive the admiration of so many Empresses, each one embracing him, while he never had a single Empress fall in love with him and always kept her distance?
This made Ye Fan extremely unhappy, unable to understand why.
Ye Fan looked up at the sky, as if questioning the heavens.
Heavens: Why ask? It's because he's the protagonist, and you're not. Just go to bed, young man!
...
That night.
Starlight was cold, a waning moon slanting west, and everything was silent.
On a mountain peak, faint mist swirled, resembling an earthly paradise, silver-clad.
Liu Xiaoxiao and Chu Yang fled all the way to this valley.
The night was exceptionally cold, their bodies trembling from the chill.
Chu Yang remained silent, got up to find some dry wood, and lit a campfire.
Then he looked at Liu Xiaoxiao and said, "I'm going to find something to eat, wait here."
Liu Xiaoxiao's face radiated happiness, nodding lightly.
For her, just being able to stay by this man's side was enough.
After a while.
Chu Yang caught a few rabbits, quickly cleaned them, and began to roast them.
The two sat opposite each other, their eyes meeting.
Liu Xiaoxiao, like a sparrow, couldn't stop talking despite having rabbit meat to eat, constantly chattering, "Brother Chu Yang, let me tell you, I once visited a very beautiful place, but unfortunately, I didn't have time to stop and enjoy it. Tomorrow, I'll take you there!"
"Brother Chu Yang, we need to find a very beautiful place to get married in the future."
"It should be secluded, undisturbed, with lots of beautiful flowers and grass, and an endless sea."
"We can watch the sunrise together in the morning and the sunset over the sea together..."
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, looking less like she was escaping and more like she was out traveling with her lover.
She continuously dreamed of a beautiful future.
Sitting by the campfire, the flickering flames illuminated her delicate face, making her look even more charming.
Her eyebrows twinkled as if drawing in light, her beautiful eyes seemed to contain the stars and the sea.
Her features were flawless, like an angel fallen to earth, especially when she smiled, making everything else in the world pale in comparison.
However, the man in front of her did not respond, continuing to devour the rabbit meat in silence.
"The taste is not bad."
