After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Gu Yuena fell even more silent. She lowered her head, her jade-like hands tightly clutching Lu Yuan's clothes without saying a word.
Lu Yuan sighed softly and could not help stroking Gu Yuena's cheek as he held her closer.
He did not want to do this either, but for the future stability of the God Realm, for humans and Soul Beasts to coexist peacefully, he had to ensure that the one who ascended to the throne of Heavenly Emperor possessed the bloodline of both humans and Soul Beasts and could treat both races fairly.
And his child with Gu Yuena had failed to meet that condition from the very beginning. So although Gu Yuena might be saddened and upset, he had no choice but to do this, because it was his responsibility.
Moreover, this was also to prevent future conflict between humans and Soul Beasts. After all, no one wanted to see another great war in the God Realm.
What he was doing was truly the most reasonable and effective approach, greatly benefiting both the God Realm and the two races.
"I understand what you mean, but it is still unfair to our child."
After a long silence, Gu Yuena raised her head. Her purple eyes stared straight at Lu Yuan as she spoke calmly.
"I know. I'll compensate him in other ways. After all, he is our flesh and blood, my eldest son. Of course I won't let him suffer a loss."
Rubbing Gu Yuena's cheek, Lu Yuan smiled faintly.
"Hmph, then how do you plan to compensate our child?" Gu Yuena snorted, asking in a soft voice.
"This..." Lu Yuan froze. How was he supposed to compensate him? He truly could not think of anything right away. He had not considered that much.
