The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

Chapter 324 A Gentle Voice

"..."

Zuo Chen glared angrily, "Can it be called a marriage between two men? That's an ill fate."

Su Qingning rolled her eyes in response, "You're so pedantic."

After saying that, Su Qingning was too lazy to say another word to Zuo Chen, and she left with An Yu and Yue Hua. Zuo Chen stared at her back as she left, but dared not say a word.

Finally, as if in a rage of impotence, Zuo Chen suddenly turned around and directed his anger at the innocent An Ran.

"An Ran, what's wrong with you? You've been with Fu Sheng day and night for three years, but he still hasn't fallen in love with you. If I had known you were so useless, I shouldn't have chosen you to be engaged to Fu Sheng."

Hearing Zuo Chen's angry accusations, An Ran really wanted to roll her eyes at him like Su Qingning did, but she couldn't, because she was a polite and good child and couldn't be rude to her elders.

"But Great Elder, I don't like Wang. I only regard him as my brother. There is only a brother-sister relationship between us." An Ran said aggrievedly.

"Brother, brother-sister love, it's all bullshit!"

The elder, who always valued self-cultivation, completely broke his vow today. He looked at An Ran coldly and emphasized, "Remember this: you are now the king's fiancée. When you reach the age of marriage, I will arrange for you to get married immediately."

"..." No matter how polite he was, An Ran wanted to curse. She really didn't expect that the Great Elder would be such a stubborn person. Couldn't he listen to other people's ideas and consider other people's feelings?

"Great Elder, I really don't..."

An Ran wanted to protest, but the Great Elder didn't even give her the chance to finish her words.

"Once we return to Moonlight Valley, I will arrange for you to live in the palace. This time, you must seize the opportunity to win the king's heart."

Zuo Chen spoke to himself, completely disregarding whether An Ran was willing or not.

Finally, Mo Yu couldn't bear it anymore. He strode over, glared at the elder, and started to attack him.

"Great Elder, don't you understand what I'm saying? An Ran has already said that she doesn't like Wang, that she only sees him as a brother. Why do you insist on pairing her and Wang together? Haven't you heard the saying that a forced melon isn't sweet?"

"Or, as long as you can separate Wang and my brother, you don't care whether An Ran can be happy or not. Or, you don't care who Wang is with, as long as the other person is a woman?"

"That's right!" Zuo Chen admitted without hesitation. He said, "If your brother were a woman, I wouldn't object to him being with the king, but he isn't. So, he must separate from the king. The king of my elven race absolutely cannot marry someone of the same sex."

Looking at the undisguised disgust on the Great Elder's face, Mo Yu couldn't understand it. Although he was shocked when he first learned that his brother and Wang were together, he had never thought of separating his brother and Wang, nor did he think there was anything wrong with such a relationship.

"Humph! You are just like what Sister Su said, an old pedant."

Mo Yu snorted coldly at Zuo Chen, then he stepped forward, held An Ran's hand, and pulled her into the cave.

"An Ran, let's go, let's ignore this old stubborn man."

An Ran didn't say anything, but she answered silently with her actions.

Looking at the two figures leaving together, Zuo Chen was so angry that smoke was almost coming out of his head.

Good, very good, everyone wants to go against him, that’s really good!

Zuo Chen's face was distorted with anger, but what he didn't know was that the angrier he got, the faster the pollution in his body spread; it turned out that when he designed Mo Yun to be polluted, he himself was also polluted, but he didn't know it yet.

……

On the other side, after Mo Yun ran out of the cave, he walked aimlessly in the Moonlight Forest. He didn't know where he was going, nor did he know where he could go.

Mo Yun stood in the Moonlight Forest. He looked at the withered trees around him, as if he saw his heart dying bit by bit.

He turned around and saw a dark, rotten, dead tree behind him. The same thing happened when he looked up.

At this moment, Mo Yun felt as if he was surrounded by a darkness as thick as ink. He looked back but could not see the way he came, and he looked up but did not know where to go home. Such a life seemed to have no meaning at all.

Despair filled his heart, and the light in Mo Yun's eyes slowly faded, leaving only an empty and dead silence.

At some point, Mo Yun had a dagger in his hand. Just as he was about to stab the dagger into his heart, a gentle voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Don't give up, kid."

Mo Yun paused, opened his eyes and looked around, but there was no other figure around except the dark dead trees.

Is this an auditory hallucination? Mo Yun wondered.

However, the next moment, that gentle voice came into his ears again.

"You still have a long life ahead of you, and your future is not all dark. Don't give up easily. Think about your loved ones, think about your loved ones. They need you, and they are waiting for you to return."

Hearing this, a hint of fluctuation appeared in Mo Yun's dead eyes. He raised his eyes and looked ahead, as if talking to himself, or asking a question.

"Do they really need me?"

"Of course," the gentle voice replied affirmatively. "Your brother grew up with you, and you're his only relative. Can you really be so cruel as to abandon him? And your lover, he's suffered so much and finally returned home. Can you really bear to give up on him?"

"Xiaoyu, Ah Sheng..."

Mo Yun murmured softly, his heart starting to beat again and his eyes glowing again.

"Thank you, I know what to do now. I will never give up my life so easily again."

Mo Yun thanked him sincerely. He looked around and asked doubtfully, "Where are you? Why can't I see you? Who are you? Why are you helping me?"

After a long while, the gentle voice sighed and replied, "Because I can't bear to watch my child die."

"what?"

Mo Yun tilted his head, his face full of confusion. Is the child she was talking about me? But my parents passed away a long time ago!

"What are you talking about? Who are you?" Mo Yun asked.

"Child, I can't explain it to you. If you want to know who I am, come find me! When you see me, you will understand."

After the words fell, the voice stopped talking, but Mo Yun suddenly felt that something was calling him, guiding him forward.

Mo Yun could feel that the voice had no hostility towards him. Thinking that she had just saved him, Mo Yun no longer hesitated. He followed the voice in his heart and began to walk in a certain direction, and that direction was Moonlight Valley.

At the same time, Su Qingning and the other two were also heading towards Moonlight Valley. If nothing unexpected happened, they might meet.
