OMG! Tyrant's Pampered Baby Is a Valued Princess

She curled up, hugging her knees.

"Mother said that once I become the Heavenly Dao, there will be many things I can’t control. I’m really worried I’ll turn into someone I don’t like."

Becoming an immortal means being completely heartless.

Bai Zhi’er had thought so ever since she was little.

Seeing this, Feng Fuce gently took her hand.

"You don’t need to worry about any of that. No matter what you become, I’ll never leave you."

Bai Zhi’er froze, staring at him for a long time.

She quickly turned away to pour more wine. "Let’s have another drink!"

And like that, one cup after another.

Bai Zhi’er ended up completely drunk in Feng Fuce’s arms.

Her alcohol tolerance wasn’t good to begin with, and today she clearly meant to let herself go.

Bai Zhi’er wiggled her soft, pink fingertips, pinching and kneading Feng Fuce’s face.

His handsome, cool features were pinched into all sorts of shapes by her.

Yet Feng Fuce didn’t get angry at all, letting her hands do whatever they wanted.

"Brother Fu Ce, why are you so good to me? You’re so good it scares me. I’m afraid that one day there’ll be conflict between the Heavenly Realm and the Demon World, and for the sake of the Heavenly Realm I’ll have no choice but to stand against you. I don’t want to become your enemy—I want to always be the person closest to you."

Only in this moment did Bai Zhi’er completely lay bare her heart.

Like a girl acting spoiled, she interlaced her fingers with Feng Fuce’s, clutching him tightly as if afraid he might run away.

Hearing this, waves surged in the depths of Feng Fuce’s eyes.

"So, the reason you’ve never responded to me is because of your status—you’re afraid that one day, as the representative of the Heavenly Dao, you’ll face an unsolvable conflict, isn’t that right?"

Bai Zhi’er nodded, then shook her head.

She leaned weakly against his chest.

"Let me tell you a secret~" she said, her red lips pressing to his ear, her orchid-scented breath so intimate it made Feng Fuce’s heart itch.

The girl whispered, "Actually, I know that only if I take up the responsibility of the Heavenly Dao can Mother and Father truly be together. Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao doesn’t allow falling in love with a mortal."

She had to first take Jing Jia’s place so that Jing Jia could live well together with Bai Xilie.

"It’s a rule of the Heavenly Court. Whether human or Demon, the Heavenly Dao cannot get too close to anyone." Bai Zhi’er said softly and weakly.

But she quickly smiled. "However, you are the exception outside of my rules. The one and only."

"Now that I’ve told you this secret, you mustn’t tell anyone else. Do you know just how special an ’exception’ is in my heart?"

Feng Fuce could no longer hold back the smile tugging at his thin lips.

He asked, "How special am I in your heart?"

Bai Zhi’er’s drunken eyes were hazy yet incomparably bright.

"Special as in, if one day the Heavenly Court wants to bully you, I’ll stand in front of you to protect you. I’ll tell the Three Realms, tell everyone, that the Demon Lord is the beloved of this Heavenly Dao, and they are not allowed to bully you."

When she finished, she hiccupped from the alcohol.

The smile vanished from Feng Fuce’s face in an instant, turning utterly serious.

In a hoarse voice he said, "Do you mean it?"

Bai Zhi’er nodded like a pecking chick. "Mm-hmm! Anyone who lies to you is a little pig!"

Words could not describe the joy in Feng Fuce’s heart, swelling without limit at this moment.

"If you kiss me, I’ll believe it’s real."

He’d only meant to tease her, but he hadn’t expected that as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zhi’er was already looping her arms around his neck and taking the initiative to kiss him.

The first time, she missed and kissed his chin instead.

"Don’t move!" Bai Zhi’er complained in a spoiled tone.

Feng Fuce’s usually cold eyes widened.

Bai Zhi’er cupped his head and adjusted the position.

This time, she landed the kiss right on target.
