Chapter 562 -Despicable Dongfang Jun Part 1
The light in Xiao Bai's eyes dimmed slightly with killing intents bursting forth from his body. He was like a unsheathed sharp blade. His usual youthful and adorable demeanour had vanished.
"Xiao Bai!" Xiao Yue's graceful face changed drastically as she hastily gripped onto Xiao Bai's hand and continued, "Xiao Bai, leave him to me."
"Mhm."
Xiao Bai nodded and withdrew his killing intents as he looked at Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue then shifted her gaze to look at the man before her with her sneer intensifying. Her gaze was as though she was looking at an unimportant person. There wasn't a single trace of the love she had for him that year.
Dongfang Jun's heart ached.
'I had made that choice that year for our future. Why Xiao Yue just doesn't understand my pain? We will have sufficient power to decide our own matters once I become the leader of the Dongfang family.
'Why can't she just bear with it a little to gain more? Why must she be caught up by these small matters?'
"Xiao Yue…"
Dongfang Jun lifted his hand to hold Xiao Yue's hand, but she had swiped his hand away before he could even touch her.
"Dongfang Jun, if you want to kill my, Xiao Yue's, master, you must step over my corpse. I won't let anything happen to my master as long as I live!"
Her word was like a sword that mercilessly dug at his heart.
Dongfang Jun just discovered that the woman before him held such an important position in his heart at this instant….
But she was protecting another man before him!
Dongfang Jun didn't in the slightest know that Mu Ru Yue was a girl. In his point of view, she was a man that Xiao Yue had fallen in love with to the extent that she was this protective over him.
"Xiao Yue, I've really made a mistake. The purpose in me leaving the family this time is to search for you. Are you really unwilling to give me another chance? You can think of me that I am pleading for you to return to my side, alright?"
Dongfang Jun lifted his head, begging with his eyes.
Xiao Yue's heart trembled violently as she gradually close her eyes…
How could she get over the man that she once was deeply in love with that easily? But she couldn't forget the humiliations the members of the Dongfang family had given her, including spitting at her.
It was similarly impossible to forget how the Dongfang family that was the leader of the four large family clans tortured her until she was unable to recover her human form.
Furthermore, her beloved man wanted to stop them, but didn't have the guts to do so at that moment.
She believed that Dongfang Jun really loved her deeply, but how could a man that lacked in both courage and guts be worthy for her to devote the remaining of her life to him?
Xiao Yue suddenly opened her eyes. That trace of pain in her eyes had disappeared. Coldness replaced it instead.
"Dongfang Jun, I want to ask you a question. Are you willing to take me as your wife?"
Dongfang Jun was clearly stunned before he replied, "You should know that only beast that have reached the True Realm will be able to allow their offsprings to inherit their partner's human bloodline. But you clearly aren't. The Dongfang family will definitely not allow the son of my wife to be a beast so…"
"So you want me to be your concubine or lover?" Xiao Yue smiled coldly as she had already predicted this answer.
A human and beast's union was different from the union between different species of beasts. For example, if she were to be together with Xiao Bai, their offsprings would inherit the bloodline of the stronger partner.
But it was obviously different with the humans.
The offspring between them would be half human and beast unless the beast had broken through to the True Realm…
"Dongfang Jun, do you really think that it is possible for me that is highly prideful be willing to be your concubine?"

"But won't we be able to be together in that case?" Dongfang Jun raised his head to look at the girl with a cold expression and begged, "Xiao Yue, I really can't live without you. Please return to my side. Didn't you say that you were willing to place down your pride for me that year? Why are you unwilling now? Can't you bear a little with it for me?"
Xiao Yue burst out laughing as though she had just heard a joke.
Xiao Bai gripped onto her hand with slight anxiousness. He hoped her heart would calm down gradually by the warmth of his hand.
"I had indeed abandoned my pride that year to be with you. I stayed in the Dongfang family even when I was humiliated. I had never been that enraged in my entire life. Yet, I bore with it for you. But what happened in the end?
"Dongfang Jun, I certainly will never become your concubine. I will rather mate with a random beast than be with you!"
What Xiao Yue said was the truth. She had previously stood behind Senior Yue and Zi Huang, enjoying the reverence and respect from thousands of people.
It was an arduous matter for her to suffer that kind of humiliations and even bore with it.
But reality had proven that this man wasn't worthy for her to submit to humiliation.
She would never return to the Dongfang family…
"Xiao Yue!" Dongfang Jun's complexion turned ashen as he yelled in fury.
That word 'mate' had pierced deeply into his heart.
Jealousy and anger nearly set his heart on fire when he thought about the graceful and beautiful girl before him marrying to other beast.
'No!
'I won't allow that!
'This woman must be mine forever! I won't permit her to marry anyone other than me!'
"Xiao Lang," Xiao Bai gripped onto Xiao Yue's hand tightly with a wide smile on his youthful face. His smile was as dazzling as sunlight. It was as though it could penetrate into people's heart. He then continued, "I will protect you just like how father Wu Chen protects mother. I won't let you suffer even in the slightest."
Xiao Yue's heart warmed unknowingly from hearing Xiao Bai's words.
"Quickly become stronger then. You will be able to protect me once you are powerful."
'This little fella is still too young…'
Xiao Yue smiled. It was as though that sunlight-like smile had dispersed the sorrow she had from meeting Dongfang Jun, making her chest feel light.
Dongfang Jun was provoked as he watched the two of them chatted as though they were in their own world. Just as he wanted to say something, an adorable voice was heard behind him.
"Elder brother Jun, what are you doing here?"
Dongfang Jun's expression changed slightly and swallowed all of his words that were already in his mouth.
Xiao Yue's brows rose as her gaze landed on the figure that was nearing them jubilantly.
"Nangong Zi Lan of the Nangong family?"
Xiao Yue had recognised that person's identity with just a glance.
It was due to Nangong Zi Lan being selected as the fiancee of Dongfang Jun by the Dongfang family. But their marriage had been delayed due to some matters.
Nangong Zi Lan was already twenty six years old, but she still looked like a youthful girl. Her skin had been well taken care of. It was soft, delicate and fair like jade. Her baby face enhanced the youthfulness of her appearance.
More importantly, Nangong Zi Lan was the beloved daughter of the head of the Nangong family. She was romantic by nature, lively and adorable so she had a lot of suitors.
Nonetheless, she had always been fond of Dongfang Jun that had a gentle temperament…
Nangong Zi Lan smiled lightly, making two adorable dimples to appear. Her eyes were innocent and pure, attracting people's affection.
Her gaze then suddenly shifted toward Xiao Yue. Her expression then changed to one that was filled with surprise. It was as though she didn't expect her to be there.
