The air suddenly became quiet.

The others wisely withdrew.

As soon as he left, the boy knelt down.

"Please punish me, Master."

"Get up."

Mu Yunyun reached out to pull him, but the boy stubbornly refused to move, only repeating one sentence.

"Please punish me, Master."

"you!"

Mu Yunyun looked disappointed at his attitude.

"We have made a pact and had children. In my heart, and I'm not afraid to admit it, I am even closer to you than Mu Bai."

She gave a wry smile:

"But in fact, you've been wary of me from the very beginning and never intended to be honest with me. Since that's the case, I don't want to pursue anything further. You should just be the chief of your tiger clan. From now on, we'll have nothing to do with each other."

"do not want!"

The boy looked up instantly, his fiery, golden eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.

"Oh, right, and these shackles too."

Mu Yunyun stared at the totem ring around his neck.

"Take a look and see if there's any way to solve this. You're the head of the clan; don't let yourself become a laughingstock."

"What kind of bullshit clan leader is this? I don't care."

Upon hearing that he was to be sent away, Di Xi truly panicked.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he spoke rapidly and urgently.

“I deceived you first. You can hit me or scold me without saying a word. If that's not enough to vent your anger, you can take my life. Don't talk about terminating the contract. Even if I die, I'll still be yours.”

"my people?"

Mu Yunyun was so angry she laughed.

"Then let me ask you, why did you deceive me about such a big matter?"

The boy's words of explanation stuck in his throat.

Mu Yunyun also lost her patience.

"Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask anymore. You can leave now."

She reached out to help him up, and the instant she touched him, a tear fell onto the back of her hand.

Mu Yunyun felt a burn.

When Di Xi met her eyes, he revealed a hint of vulnerability and grievance for the first time.

"How could I possibly have decided what happened at the time?"

"You, like everyone else, think I am utterly wicked and a murderer who died for justice. How could I dare to reveal my identity and displease you?"

"Later, you invited me to the Snow Weasel Clan, and you became so close to me... I dared not utter a word about it..."

He stubbornly wiped away his tears, turned his head away, and refused to look at her.

"Besides, we have entered into a contract, and from now on we will live and die together. My life belongs to you, so why should I be on guard against everything? How can this not be considered being honest with each other?"

Mu Yunyun felt as if she had been struck by a blow: "I..."

The boy interrupted her, his voice hoarse.

“Our Tiger Clan submits to Emperor Jiang and serves him as our master. Even if we leave our clan, we still have to pay tribute. When my mother was alive, she worked herself to exhaustion to pay the tribute. My father had no choice but to be instigated by villains to burn, kill, rob, and sell slaves.”

"Later, when the truth came out, my father was afraid and poisoned my mother to death. He was also afraid that I would talk too much, so he conspired with my brother to lock me up."

“My elder brother was not my biological brother. After our mother died, he showed me no brotherly affection whatsoever. Instead, he humiliated me every day. If I hadn’t been lucky, I would have been tortured to death long ago. How could I not hate him?”

“I killed my father and brother, I am a heinous criminal. I have asked myself these things and I have no regrets. But I am afraid. I am afraid that you will think I hate evil and will no longer be close to me.”

Mu Yunyun never expected this reason; she thought…

"It's my fault. I didn't know the reason, I believed the rumors, and I even doubted you, which made you sad and upset."

The boy bit his lip hard and just knelt down.

"Okay, I'm not angry anymore."

Mu Yunyun poked him with her fingertip and whispered ingratiatingly.
