The citizens of the city had long heard of Ke Wei. He said that a handsome merchant came from outside the city, and his wife really doted on him.

The woman enjoyed listening to the drama. Ke Wei had invited many famous characters to support him and set up a theater. As for when it would be opened, he would only need to listen to the woman's interest.

Ke Wei bought all the fruits that the Western Regions had specially provided for him. Before he could finish them all, he had already rewarded the servants with the precious gold fighting fruits.

And so on, envious of others.

Upon hearing this news, the common woman came to pay respects and tried to get close to him. From time to time, she would flail in front of him, throw herself down the stairs, and throw herself into his arms.

Cold as ice, this made the women in the city sad, and made them envious of his missed wife even more.

When Chu Jie heard this rumor, he sneered in disdain. Where did he get the Madam Huang? Furthermore, this was the territory he was in.

However, he had no way of sensing his presence right now. It was most likely him, Ke Wei, who was also the mastermind behind this. He actually dared to scheme with him and steal his men. He wanted him to know what a demon king truly was.

After he found Ke Wei's mansion, he easily broke through the barrier that Ke Wei had set up. Then, he effortlessly killed the Demon Envoy that Ke Wei had set up within the mansion.

When Chu Jie burst into the inner hall, Ke Wei was feeding a lotus flower cake to a distant mouth. Chu Jie was furious when he saw this.

His scarlet eyes looked as if they were about to spit fire.

He used his mana to break the table into two halves. The food on the table fell to the ground in twos and threes.

He was so scared that he quickly hid himself in Ke Wei's embrace. Ke Wei used his hand to pat the back of Ke Wei and comforted him. "I'm fine."

Chu Jie was infuriated. He looked at Ke Wei's hand and roared, "Move your dirty hand away!"

Ke Wei's demeanor did not lose out. He replied in an indifferent tone, "What if I don't?"

Chu Jie's facial muscles tightened and his tone turned cold. "Then I'll cripple your hand."

He quickly took action against Ke Wei, causing him to tremble in fear.

Ke Wei's mana was far below Chu Jie's. With just a few moves, Chu Jie clearly held the upper hand.

He had pushed the spiritual energy into Chu Jie's body to suppress his demonic powers. Every move he made hurt a little more, but he forced himself to fight against Ke Wei.

The battle was over quickly. Chu Jie used 10% of his magic power, and as expected, Ke Wei was severely injured. He fell straight onto the ground, collapsed, and had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Without worrying about Chu Jie, he stepped forward and supported Ke Wei.

This scene was extremely familiar. A thousand years ago, Bian Yao had also carried himself in this way. They had actually missed out on a thousand years. He could not let himself and Bian Yao be lost in the long river of time again.

He was so jealous that he almost wished that the person in his arms right now was Chu Jie. It was such an honor to be missed by his beloved one.

He cast a spell and grabbed Bian Tou into his arms, holding him tightly, afraid that she would run into his arms, not caring about how she struggled or how she beat him.

Ke Wei had been injured to the point where he spat out blood from his spirit bead, but he couldn't move at all.

He watched helplessly as Chu Jie hugged his flinched side tightly to his chest.

If it weren't for the fact that Hong Yuan had noticed that Chu Li had come to stay at the Kowalski territory, she was afraid that he would have really remained there forever.

Hong Yuan brought Ke Wei back to the Demon King's Hall and instructed the demon doctors to refine pills. At the same time, she gathered many of the elders with profound magic power from the demon realm to help him repair his inner core.

Chu Jie pressed on, retreating step by step. Fear and panic filled his eyes as strands of hair were stuck to his fine sweat.

Chu Jie could not help but feel pampered. He raised his hand to smooth her hair, but he was so scared that he shrank back and closed his eyes.

His body trembled.

Chu Jie could not help but stop his actions. He frowned, his beautiful eyes filled with disappointment. "Are you that afraid of me?"

"You, you, you … Don't come over, I want to go home."

Chu Jie took a step back and said coldly, "This will be your home from now on."

Chu Jie cast a spell and a rock fell right in front of her. She was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

Chu Jie half squatted beside her, his tone carrying a demonic tone of threat and command. "I said it already." He lifted his hand and pinched her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye. "This is your home. Don't think about having anything to do with Ke Wei."

"You, are you a human or a demon? Why did you hurt Big Bro Ke?"

Even though his voice was trembling with fear, Bian Yao still stubbornly stared at him.

"Big Bro Ke?" Chu Jie repeated her words, "You sound so intimate. Why are you calling me Brother Ke? "Lord Chu?"

When she looked at him, her eyes were filled with astonishment, "You and I have never met, so why are you speaking in such a frivolous manner? I don't know if you are a human or a demon, but please behave yourself."

Chu Jidao heard a very funny joke, "Self-respect? "Hahaha, self-respect, you dare say that you and I have never met before? When we met, Ke Wei was still playing in the mud."

"Ke Wei and I have already reached an agreement. Regardless of whether you're joking or if you're serious, please don't bring it up again."

Chu Jie's eyes were filled with disbelief, his misty eyes staring straight at her without blinking.

"A thousand years ago, I died for you, and a thousand years later, I almost died because of you. Now, you say that you want to marry another wild man, and at the same time, your heart is filled with ruthlessness."

"With me here, don't even think about it. I absolutely won't let you have even the slightest bit of relationship with other boys."

"You must have recognized the wrong person. I am a mortal of the mortal world, how could I have known you for a thousand years? Therefore, I hope that you do not place feelings that do not belong to me, and that I have someone I love."

Chu Jie roared like a madman, the demonic nature of his body made him look very scary. Although he tried his best to remain calm, he still kept on trembling.

"I won't allow you to fall in love with anyone," he said, stepping forward and clasping her neck with his long, strong hand. "You can only love me."

He couldn't help but use some strength in his hand, only slowly regaining his rationality when the image of his face redden from holding back and slapping his hand appeared in his eyes.

Realizing what he had done, he was filled with regret. He kept coughing and gasping for air.

Chu Jie wanted to pat her on the back, but he hesitated a few times before withdrawing his hand.

His guilt filled his face.

"Sorry, I-I lost control and hurt you. I-I'll be fine in the future, I'll learn how to control myself, but, it's just that you don't need to say that you're in love with someone else. If it's like this, okay, I'm begging you."

His tone was different from his tough exterior of flattery and pleading. He was just like a child who made a mistake, helplessly looking to the side.
