Before Xi Yue could speak, Ji Mingyu had already stepped forward and said in a hoarse voice, "Xi'er's Wood Origin has been sealed, and as a result, most of her cultivation, spiritual power, and soul have also been sealed. Do you... know of a way to unlock the Wood Origin?"
"What did you say?!" Yun Tianyi gritted his teeth and looked at Xi Yue with great anguish, "Is what he said true?!"
Xi Yue nodded, with a bitter smile on her face, "Dad, believe me, this is the best ending. If Ji Mingyu really died, I wouldn't be able to live alone. Now, at least we are all alive and there is still hope."
Hearing Xi Yue's words, Ji Mingyu's eyes were filled with emotion and tenderness.
One of his hands, which had been loosely holding the girl's soft and boneless little hand, suddenly tightened and gently stroked it. His movements were indescribably gentle and careful, as if he was protecting a treasure.
Yun Tianyi's mood was completely opposite to Ji Mingyu's.
With a gloomy face, he said firmly: "I don't agree with your engagement. Come home with me now. I will never agree to you marrying such a bastard!!"
Xi Yue's expression turned a little ugly, "Daddy, please be careful with your words."
Ji Mingyu narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "You want to take Xi'er away from me? Haha, unless I die!"
Seeing Ji Mingyu so arrogant, Yun Tianyi was almost furious, "Yuer, are you willing to give up your life for a man like this? What has he done for you? Not to mention that he deceived and used you before, he even dragged you into the vortex again and again, putting you in danger."
"You and the people around you have experienced life and death disasters in Miluo Continent. Although the cause was your Wood Origin, it was also because Ji Mingyu once searched all over the continent for the Wood Origin that the people of this continent had a deep understanding of the Wood Origin and became greedy."
"The last time we encountered the trouble in Tianyi Valley, someone was plotting against him, but he was weak and incompetent and couldn't handle it himself, and he almost caused you to suffer the consequences of being deserted by everyone."
"Now, this time, you almost lost your life in order to save him. Even if you save your life now, you will lose all your cultivation."
"From now on, he will be involved in the fight for the throne of the Divine Emperor. After ascending to the throne, he will even be able to own all the beauties in the world and control supreme power. Can you guarantee that staying with him will lead to a good ending? Can you guarantee that his feelings for you will never change?"
"Yuer, you are my daughter, Yun Tianyi. I only hope that you can grow up happily and without worries. I will never allow others to bully you. Therefore, I will never agree to your marriage!"
With every extra word Yun Tianyi said, Ji Mingyu’s face became more gloomy, and the red in his eyes flashed again.
By the time he finished speaking, he could no longer control his murderous aura, which was about to burst out.
In order to let Xi Yue get hurt, Ji Mingyu was willing to bear all the accusations from Yun Tianyi. Even if he was going to be severely beaten, he would never say a word.
But there is one thing that Ji Mingyu will never accept.
That is to take Xiyue away from him.
This was his Achilles' heel, especially after Xi Yue almost left and almost married someone else, this panic turned into a thorn in his heart, and whenever anyone mentioned it, he would lose control of his emotions.
However, before Ji Mingyu could react, Xi Yue's face darkened. (To be continued)
