The atmosphere, instantly, was as tense as drawn bows and arrows.
Ye Xingguang looked at Gui Baili, then at Ye Junqing, fearing that the two might start fighting.
Ye Xingguang immediately hugged Ye Junqing and said, "Listen to me, Tang Zhou and Han Chengbei are still in the palace. I'll go back first, and you should hurry to devise a plan to stake a claim for the Vampire heir. I'll wait for you to come marry me."
Ye Junqing's face darkened tremendously, forcing Ye Xingguang to continue comforting him, "If I escape, they'll take it out on Tang Zhou..."
"I'll marry you as soon as I can!" Ye Junqing held her tightly in his arms, unwilling to let go. Yet he had to consider Tang Zhou's safety, and it infuriated him to his core.
"Listen, before I marry you, don't try to ascend the throne," Ye Junqing warned her, afraid she might impulsively decide to become the queen.
