Bigshot's Sweetie Is a Cat!-Chapter 1150: Wen Xiao’ai Was Beaten

Her body trembled uncontrollably as she looked at the Clan Leader’s kindly face, now feeling utterly unfamiliar and terrifying.

Four days had passed, yet she felt no remorse or guilt, and she even asked in such a tone whether he had been killed.

How could the clan leader grandmother become like this?

Ye Qi shook his head slightly: "...I brought the Little Princess back."

The Clan Leader said nothing, instead looking at the pale Wen Xiao’ai and speaking in a very harsh tone: "Fine, since you already know, I will not hide it anymore. Today, we will resolve this matter."

"..."

"You, as the Cat Demon Clan Princess, have fallen in love with a mortal, which already violates celestial law. I killed him to protect you."

"Ha..." Wen Xiao’ai acted as if she heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Killing him to protect me? What right do you have to decide a person’s life or death? Are you sure you’re protecting me? Not adding to my burdens? Later, when I report to the Underworld, do you think this life will be counted on me or on you, Clan Leader?"

Wen Xiao’ai was so angry that she didn’t even call her grandmother.

"Impudent." The Clan Leader suddenly stood up, furious beyond measure.

"You’ve truly been bewitched by that mortal, forgetting even who you are. I thought the Cat Demon Clan’s ordeal would make you grow up and learn many things, but I didn’t expect you to become more and more absurd."

"What is growth? What is maturity? And what is absurdity? Is it considered understanding and maturity like you, Clan Leader, treating human life as trivial, killing the innocent, and severing bonds?"

"Slap!"

The Clan Leader’s hand didn’t raise, yet a loud slap hit Wen Xiao’ai’s face hard from afar.

The slap, filled with anger, caused the kneeling Wen Xiao’ai to fall back on the ground, her swollen, red face turned to one side.

"Xiao’ai."

Ye Qi’s heart gave a violent jump, his heart seemed to stop for a few seconds.

Then he also kneeled down with a thud.

"Clan Leader, Xiao’ai’s words were said in anger, without intention."

"Silence." The Clan Leader rebuked Ye Qi, then asked Wen Xiao’ai:

"...Do you admit your mistake?"

Wen Xiao’ai braced her hands against the ground, her body half-turned to one side. Hearing the Clan Leader’s words, she slowly turned around, kneeling upright.

Meeting the Clan Leader’s gaze, she spoke each word clearly.

"I am not wrong, Jun Moyan is not wrong either. What is wrong is this damned celestial law, this damned divide between humans and demons."

Wen Xiao’ai clenched her fists, shouted angrily at the Clan Leader, her eyes misty.

"You, you are still unrepentant." The Clan Leader was so angry that his whole body was trembling.

"Fine, you can kneel here. When you admit your mistake, then you can stand up."

After speaking, the Clan Leader waved his sleeve and disappeared from the hall with Ye Qi.

The once-bustling hall suddenly was left with only Wen Xiao’ai kneeling there alone.

"Plop."

Teardrops as big as beans fell uncontrollably to the ground, shattering into several pieces on impact.

Wen Xiao’ai gritted her teeth, trying to force back her tears, but they only gathered more and more.

A sound of footsteps came from behind her. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Wen Xiao’ai quickly raised her hand to wipe her tears, but accidentally touched her swollen, aching face, causing even more tears to flow.

"Little Princess, what happened? Why are you kneeling here?"

Feng Liyan’s anxious voice came, and he quickly ran up, squatting beside Wen Xiao’ai.

Seeing that it was Feng Liyan, the grievances in Wen Xiao’ai’s heart erupted.

Tears fell uncontrollably, one after another.
