The Demon Lord Forced to Marry the Female Leader

Ah Wen's heart was broken, she knew that the Dragon King's decision could not be changed. She looked at Bai Hao desperately, tears bursting from her eyes, blurring her vision in an instant. Bai Hao nodded to her, signaling her to follow the Dragon King back quickly.

The Dragon King looked at the two of them, feeling mixed emotions. He took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Awen, I give you two choices. Either I crush Bai Hao and end his life now, and you come back with me; or I give him the elixir to heal his wounds, and you will part ways and never see each other again in this life."

When Awen heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue. She couldn't accept this cruel reality. She didn't want to lose Bai Hao. Why was there such a big rift between humans and dragons? Why was separation so painful? She closed her eyes in pain, tears rolling down her cheeks.

When Bai Hao saw Awen's pain, his heart was filled with guilt and self-blame. If he had known this would happen, he would not have spoken to her. It would have been wonderful for her to still be the happy Little Dragon Girl she used to be, living freely in the vast ocean.

He knew that he had caused Awen great distress and pain, but he was unwilling to let Awen go against the Dragon King's wishes for him.

He said to Awen in a firm voice:

"Awen, don't feel sad for me. I know my identity and situation. I am not worthy of you paying so much for me. Go back and take good care of yourself."

Awen opened her eyes and looked at Bai Hao with tears in her eyes:

"No, I can't leave you. I would rather give up everything in the Dragon Palace than lose you."

Bai Hao smiled and shook his head:

"Awen, you can't give up your future and happiness for me. Go back, I will always remember your kindness."

In the end, under the Dragon King's insistence and Awen's helplessness, Awen chose to return to the Dragon Palace.

The Dragon King kept his promise and gave Bai Hao healing elixirs, saving his life. Although Awen returned to the Dragon Palace with her father and was guarded by the water tribe and restricted from going out, Awen's heart remained on Bai Hao, and she missed him every day.

It was at this time that Awen realized that her feelings for Bai Hao were not just about being friends. It turned out that the reason she was so painful when they separated was because she wanted him to be with her every day.

After the Dragon King returned to the Dragon Palace, he thought about some things carefully. Awen had grown up, and the girl would not hide her innocent thoughts. He saw her straightforward love, but how could she understand that humans were never good people and that they only treated the dragon clan with endless slaughter and demands.

As the leader of the dragon clan and the master of this sea, how could his daughter marry a human monk?

If his daughter Awen really married a human monk, how would the aquatic creatures under his rule behave in the future? Would they follow the example of the Dragon King's daughter marrying a human? Wouldn't everything in the sea be in chaos?

Allowing the pure bloodline of the dragon clan to be mixed with human blood is his bottom line that he cannot cross.

The Dragon King's face was ashen, and his eyes were staring at Prime Minister Turtle as if he was breathing fire. His voice echoed in the Dragon Palace like thunder, making everyone feel a strong pressure.

He widened his eyes and scolded Prime Minister Turtle word by word:

"I told you to keep an eye on the princess! What's wrong with you? You're either greedy or lazy and sleep too much! That's why she got into such a big mess! It's a relief for her that she didn't lose her life this time! Did she eat?"

Prime Minister Turtle endured the Dragon King's scolding, carefully put on a smile, and replied with a smile:

"Her Royal Highness has not eaten since she came back. She spends most of her time sitting still, sitting for the entire day."

After hearing what Prime Minister Turtle said, the Dragon King became furious and smashed many teacups. His finger trembled as he pointed at Prime Minister Turtle, cursing angrily:

"Okay, okay! She thinks about that male cultivator all day long. She has really grown wings and can't control her anymore, right? Very good! No need to send her food! If she doesn't change her mind, she should never come out! Also! I want you to tell those shrimp soldiers and crab generals that if they let the princess out without permission, don't blame me for peeling their shells! I will break their legs!"

Prime Minister Turtle was scolded so much that he couldn't even raise his head. He could only verbally agree:

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll go tell them right now! I will never let the princess step out of the room!"

The Dragon King was panting with anger, and he sat on the Dragon King's throne with his head covered. He closed his eyes, as if he was so angry that he had a headache. The entire Dragon Palace fell into silence, with only the Dragon King's angry breathing echoing in the air.

After Prime Minister Turtle left the Dragon Palace, he felt uneasy. He knew the Dragon King's anger and dissatisfaction, and he also knew that he had to strengthen the guard of the princess' room to prevent Awen from violating the Dragon King's taboo again.

He summoned all the guards and maids of the dragon clan and solemnly told them the Dragon King's order:

"Princess Awen is not allowed to step out of the room. Violators will be severely punished!"

He particularly emphasized the Dragon King's anger and dissatisfaction, and asked everyone to strictly abide by this order.

After receiving the order, the guards quickly deployed around Awen's room and kept a close watch. The palace maids were responsible for delivering daily necessities to ensure that Awen's basic living needs were met.

Awen was locked in the room, feeling extremely lonely and helpless. She knew she had violated a taboo. She endured it all silently, her heart filled with longing for Bai Hao.

As time went by, it became increasingly difficult for Awen to be locked in her room. She felt her mental state getting worse and worse, and her body began to show symptoms of discomfort.

She began to miss her days of freedom and the time she spent with Bai Hao.

One day, Prime Minister Turtle came to visit Awen. He saw Awen's haggard face and weak body, and felt very sorry for her. He asked softly:

"Princess, are you okay?"

Awen shook her head and said softly:

"Um…"

Her voice revealed endless sadness and helplessness.

After hearing this, Prime Minister Turtle felt a tightness in his heart. He had watched Awen grow up since she was a child. Seeing her suffering like this, Prime Minister Turtle's heart ached a little.

He advised:

"Princess, please go to the Dragon King and admit your mistake! Promise yourself never to go near the sea again, and the Dragon King will comfort you! After all, you are his biological daughter!"

Awen stood in front of the iron bars of the cell, holding the cold bars tightly with both hands, her eyes full of determination. Although her voice was weak, it revealed an unshakable belief:

"No, I have never regretted meeting Bai Hao. I only regret that I did not stay to take care of him when he was dying, but left him. Prime Minister Turtle, do you know? I miss him all the time. He is a unique and irreplaceable existence to me."
