"That's not it. It's just that she's a woman with some depth and cunning. It would be a pity for her to die just like that."
"Besides, she and the clan behind her are already under control and can't cause any trouble."
"Why not let her become your helper and assist you in thoroughly stabilizing the Eastern Imperial Clan?"
Jun Xiaoyao said.
It wasn't that he pitied women; he wasn't that kind of person.
He just felt that killing Eastern Qingwu wouldn't benefit Oriental Aoyue.
Instead, it would mean losing a branch of the clan for nothing.
Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao was confident he could make Eastern Qingwu obediently listen.
Oriental Aoyue heard this, was silent for a moment, and then released her hand.
"Cough, cough…"
Eastern Qingwu collapsed to the ground, her face flushed from suffocation, and tears welled in her eyes.
Her gaze towards Jun Xiaoyao became incredibly complex.
This man, who had attracted her, then betrayed her.
The man she both loved and hated.
Yet, now, he was the only one who could save her and was willing to save her.
Eastern Qingwu's heart was a mix of emotions, like a bottle of five-flavored sauce overturned.
Meanwhile, Eastern Xinqing's eyes widened, looking disbelieving.
She knew Oriental Aoyue's character; she was the type who meant what she said.
She did whatever she wanted, never listening to outsiders' opinions.
And no one dared to oppose her at all.
Even Eastern Xinqing, who was closest to her, couldn't interfere with her thoughts.
But now, because of Jun Xiaoyao's words, Oriental Aoyue actually stopped.
This was the first time.
On the other side, Xiao looked at this scene, a strange glint in his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
"Miss Qingwu, life is only once, and you are not some peerless expert capable of Reincarnation, so you should cherish it."
Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly, his tone gentle and refined.
He looked as if he was genuinely looking out for Eastern Qingwu.
However, it was he who had put Eastern Qingwu in her current predicament.
But he, on the other hand, saved Eastern Qingwu.
This made Eastern Qingwu's emotions extremely complex.
"Even if you don't think of yourself, you should think of your relatives and clan behind you. Do you want them to die with you?"
Jun Xiaoyao's last sentence completely made Eastern Qingwu give up resistance and struggle.
"I, indeed, lost. I will honor the bet."
Eastern Qingwu took a deep breath and knelt before Oriental Aoyue.
This time, it was her own initiative.
Oriental Aoyue said nothing.
Whether Eastern Qingwu submitted or not made no difference to her.
"Miss Qingwu, since you choose to submit, you must not have any other intentions."
"I can save you once, but not necessarily a second time."
Jun Xiaoyao's tone carried a profound meaning.
"Miss Qingwu understands."
Eastern Qingwu took a deep breath.
She knew there was a deeper meaning in Jun Xiaoyao's words.
If she had any more small schemes or calculations, not only would her own life be in danger.
Her relatives and clan behind her would also be annihilated with her.
Therefore, Eastern Qingwu completely gave up her thoughts and dared not scheme anymore.
Afterward, Eastern Qingwu left.
As she left, she gave Jun Xiaoyao a complex look.
For some reason, she could never completely hate this man.
Meeting Xiaoyao ruins a lifetime.
"You two should also leave. I have something to say to Young Master Jun," Oriental Aoyue said.
Eastern Xinqing nodded and obediently left.
Xiao did the same.
A moment later, only Jun Xiaoyao and Oriental Aoyue remained in the hall.
Oriental Aoyue waved her hand, and array patterns rose, isolating them from the outside.
"Young Master Jun, you are truly poison to women," Oriental Aoyue said.
"How so?" Jun Xiaoyao slightly raised an eyebrow.
"Even though you schemed against Eastern Qingwu like that, in the end, she still couldn't hate you."
"What about Miss Aoyue?" Jun Xiaoyao retorted.
"Me?"
Oriental Aoyue lowered her eyelids slightly, and after a moment, met Jun Xiaoyao's gaze.
"This Young Miss has to admit, Young Master Jun, you are indeed a very special person."
"Is that all?"
Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly, sighing, appearing somewhat regretful.
"Otherwise?"
"I thought I might be even more special in Miss Aoyue's heart."
"But now it seems I was being presumptuous."
Jun Xiaoyao exclaimed with a sigh.
Hearing this, Oriental Aoyue was slightly stunned, looking at Jun Xiaoyao.
The atmosphere was silent.
After a moment, she quietly said, "I won't be with anyone."
"Why?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
Oriental Aoyue was silent again, then shook her head and said, "Because being with me will bring misfortune. I will drag anyone who comes close to me down."
These words made questions well up in Jun Xiaoyao's heart.
What kind of past was hidden deep in Oriental Aoyue's heart?
What did she experience to become so extreme in character?
Jun Xiaoyao had previously felt that the hidden past was likely the key to breaking through Oriental Aoyue's mental defenses.
But at this moment, Oriental Aoyue shook her head and said, "Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about serious matters."
"What matters?" Jun Xiaoyao temporarily suppressed the questions in his heart.
Oriental Aoyue looked steadily at Jun Xiaoyao and opened her lips.
"For example, the matter of Young Master Jun being the owner of the Demon Monarch Origin."
As Oriental Aoyue's words fell, the atmosphere suddenly solidified.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression was calm, showing no change.
Meanwhile, Oriental Aoyue's gaze was locked on Jun Xiaoyao, and the Law power within her body secretly circulated.
It could be said that this was absolutely shocking, explosive news.
No one else possessing the Demon Monarch Origin would cause such a sensation as Jun Xiaoyao.
Because his identity was too special.
The Young Lord of the Yun Clan Emperor Clan, the son of the Gatekeepers, Emperor Tianya, and the Confucian School Order Holder.
These numerous titles made Jun Xiaoyao's identity too righteous and glorious.
If the news of him possessing the Demon Monarch Origin were to spread, it would definitely cause an uproar, and the entire Boundary Sea would be shaken.
It could be said that this secret must absolutely not be exposed!
But now, it was revealed by Oriental Aoyue in a single sentence.
That's why Oriental Aoyue was secretly vigilant.
Although she and Jun Xiaoyao had already cooperated.
But clearly, she didn't know if Jun Xiaoyao would attack her because she knew about the Demon Monarch Origin.
"Why are you so wary? Do you really think I would attack you just because you know this?"
Seeing a hint of wariness in Oriental Aoyue, Jun Xiaoyao tilted his head slightly.
"Isn't this Young Master Jun's biggest secret?" Oriental Aoyue was startled.
Why did it feel like Jun Xiaoyao didn't seem to care much?
One should know that if the matter of him possessing the Demon Monarch Origin were to leak out, it would cause an unprecedented upheaval!
"What is this? Besides, Miss Aoyue, aren't you the same as me?" Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly.
"What, you…"
Oriental Aoyue was stunned.
Jun Xiaoyao, he also noticed that she possessed the Demon Monarch Origin?
When did he notice it?
