Chapter 10
Xie Yan and Nomu successfully reached the front gates, without any mistakes or being seen.
But something inside Xie Yan screamed at this wasn't right. It went too smooth, not a single guard on his way here. Han Li would never be this lax.
Xie Yan
Nomu...I fear that something is about to happen if I open the gates..
Nomu
What do you mean? Nobody seems to be here...(This might be your last chance to rethink your decision, Xie Yan. Opening this door is going to make you face Han Li, and I fear that he won't be as nice as he was...)
Xie Yan
Whatever! *pushes the gates to open them*
Xie Yan
*stands still as he faces a familiar face, his eyes widened*
Han Li
Well, well, well...look who we have here! *smiles*
Xie Yan
Why!? Why are you here?!
The frustration was visible on Xie Yan's face, the emotions he has were running wild - probably heightened by his pregnancy.
Xie Yan
*Looks at Nomu as well*
Xie Yan
Nomu! Don't tell me...
Nomu
I apologize! *gets on his knees and continues to look down.*
Xie Yan
I trusted you, Nomu... 🥺 *gets teary*
Han Li
That just shows me that you're not as smart as I thought you'd be! *laughs* Why would I have someone around you that doesn't work for me? *walks towards Xie Yan*
Han Li
tsk tsk tsk...Xie Yan? How did you become the moon lord? You're too naive.
Han Li
*roughly holds Xie Yan's wrist*
Xie Yan
Ow! That hurts! Let me go...! *tries to pull away*
Han Li
From today on, you're no longer allowed to be alone. You will sleep in my chambers. Understood?
Xie Yan
*continues his attempt to pull his arm away*
Han Li
*holds Xie Yan's wrist even tighter*
Han Li
Anymore attempts like this and I won't hold back with the punishments. You're no longer to be trusted.
The pain in Xie Yan's wrist combined with the heartbreak he's feeling made him cry.
All he wanted was to go home, leave this body behind and go back to his own body. How was he going to do that stuck in this place? Forced to give birth to a child, as a man.
Han Li
*lightens his grip*
Seeing Xie Yan cry made Han Li flustered. He hated to see these precious tears, but he wouldn't show that.
Out of nowhere, two people appeared next to Han Li.
Han Li
Take him to my chambers. Be gentle.
And they did exactly that. Especially Chesu was being gentle as he guided the crying Xie Yan to the chambers of the demon lord.
Han Li
Good Job, Nomu. You can stand up.
Nomu
*stands up but continues to look down*
Nomu
He won't want me around him anymore...
Han Li
I'll ask Chesu to accompany him for the time being. Don't worry, he'll warm up to you again.
Han Li
What am I going to do with you, Xie Yan? *looks up at the stars*
