Chapter 787
Ye Xingguang looked at Gui Baili, then at Ye Junqing, fearing that the two might start fighting.
Ye Xingguang immediately hugged Ye Junqing and said, “Listen to me, Tang Zhou and Han Chengbei are still in the palace. I’ll go back first, and you should hurry to devise a plan to stake a claim for the Vampire heir. I’ll wait for you to come marry me.”
Ye Junqing’s face darkened tremendously, forcing Ye Xingguang to continue comforting him, “If I escape, they’ll take it out on Tang Zhou…”
“I’ll marry you as soon as I can!” Ye Junqing held her tightly in his arms, unwilling to let go. Yet he had to consider Tang Zhou’s safety, and it infuriated him to his core.
“Listen, before I marry you, don’t try to ascend the throne,” Ye Junqing warned her, afraid she might impulsively decide to become the queen.
He had spent over thirty thousand to hire Yen’an as a guide to delve into her childhood, where a little girl was caught in a power struggle in the palace, ignored, assassinated, and the bloody undersea kingdom never once warmed her yet commanded her to shoulder the queen’s duties!
If she really became the queen, would she then have to live twenty thousand meters under the sea, shrouded in perpetual darkness, for the rest of her life? Even if he, as the vampire heir, married her, would he also have to spend his whole life with her in the persistent gloom underwater?
Such a life, he would never wish for it. Could it be possible that she’d want to live under the sea forever?
Looking deeply into her eyes, Ye Junqing asked her, “Tell me, would you rather live under the sea or on dry land in the future?”
“Of course, on dry land.”
She wasn’t a native resident of the undersea, even though she’d spent most of her time on Bugi Island before. She would go insane living in total darkness without sunshine for even a month.
“So, being a queen isn’t for you, don’t agree to it. Otherwise, you’ll be held hostage for the rest of your life, stuck in that dreadful place with no way to escape. Moreover, our baby will also have to inherit your throne and won’t be able to live under the sun. Can you bear it?”noveldrama
The thought of their baby not being able to enjoy sunshine and rain rendered Ye Xingguang heartbroken. No matter how great the undersea kingdom could be, it held no charm for her, a terrestrial being at heart, not a marine one.
She loved living on the island, loved the boundless seascape, but not the undersea, even if its kingdom was equally bustling.
Ye Xingguang nodded earnestly, “I understand, I won’t become a queen. I’ll wait for you to come marry me.”
After that, with her hands clung tightly around Ye Junqing’s neck, she tiptoed to whisper into his ear, “Don’t worry, I’ll seize the chance to escape with Tang Zhou and Han Chengbei. But you must also strive to become the Vampire heir. Otherwise, even if I flee, they’ll never stop haunting me.”
Ye Junqing held her waist tightly within his arms, not wanting to let go.
At this point, Leng Chenmo approached, his hand falling on Ye Junqing’s shoulder, “It’s just a brief parting. Let them go. Your immediate task is to become the vampire heir as quickly as possible and then bring her back.”
Leng Chenmo was worried about Tang Zhou’s safety. Given the current situation, transient reunions were meaningless. You must become the vampire heir to genuinely solve the problem.
“Sis, I’ll go back with you.” At this moment, Xia Ye Zhao walked over.
Leaving his sister twenty thousand meters beneath the sea made Xia Ye Zhao uneasy. It would be better to stay by her side and protect her.
