Eastern Emperor Taiyi even felt somewhat annoyed.
This woman was exceptionally outstanding, and she had devoted her whole heart to him.
Why had he been blind to it all these years?
Was he really that blind?
Eastern Emperor Taiyi gave a self-deprecating laugh.
This time had indeed been incredibly dangerous.
If he hadn't gone to the Witch Race himself,
the beauty before him might truly have been ravaged by those Witch Race bastards.
Thinking of this, Eastern Emperor Taiyi felt another surge of anger.
He looked at the woman before him.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi swept Qin Yuan into his arms and held him close.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi was tall and powerfully built.
Qin Yuan was petite, and tucked into Eastern Emperor Taiyi's arms, he looked rather amusing.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi rubbed Qin Yuan vigorously against his chest.
Only then did he say, his voice full of emotion:
"From now on, you don't need to go back to your own place. It's quite far away, after all."
"Besides, there aren't many people keeping watch near your palace, so it'd be easy for someone to take advantage of the situation."
"If anything happened to you, it would be a great loss to the Demon Race."
"If I lost you— I'd be very upset, too."
Hearing Eastern Emperor Taiyi's heartfelt yet clumsy confession,
Qin Yuan finally let a trace of happiness show.
Was the thing he had been waiting for finally about to happen?
Had Eastern Emperor Taiyi finally truly made a place for him in his heart?
At the thought, Qin Yuan was nearly moved to tears.
His eyes reddened a little.
So Eastern Emperor Taiyi hadn't thought of him as a plaything after all?
Did he finally have a truly important place in Eastern Emperor Taiyi's heart?
The thought filled him
