Rong Ye felt anger rising to his face, his jaw tight, his eyes dark. For a moment, there had been no hostility toward Lan Yue, but the instant he realized she was going to marry the new Lord of the Fox Beast City, everything inside him turned cold.
She was not just a stranger anymore.
She was connected to his enemy.
He could not allow anyone from the Fox Beast City to learn that he was still alive. No… never. He did not want to return to that old life.
He had a new family here. He had his Lan Lan… their future children… and even those beast men, Han Jue, Hu Yan, and that annoying snake.
How could he leave everything behind and return to that cursed place?
Killing intent slowly leaked out of him.
Lan Yue froze.
Her heart trembled. She realized she had said too much. In her whole life, she had never faced such cold, terrifying hostility. She had only spoken casually… but now it felt like her words might cost her life.
She wanted to run, but she could not.
