I, the Son of the Demon Emperor, Had My Eyes Gouged Out by My Fiancée on Our Wedding Night - Chapter 11

11: The Lovers’ Bond

“Using the Blazing Sun Pupils as replacements…”

“If Xiao Yun’er doesn’t show herself…”

“Your Xiao family will…”

The Shadowstone’s recording continued to play.

The plight of the Xiao family in Tianfeng City was laid bare—

Their ancestral elder, crushed to pulp.

The family head, ground into minced meat.

Xiao Tianyou, Xiao Yun’er’s younger brother, his eyes gouged out, reduced to a cripple.

Even the onlookers who tried to help were slaughtered without mercy.

The surviving Xiao clansmen knelt in the courtyard, each bearing a 500kg restriction.

With each passing day, another 500kg was added.

Some had already been flattened into bloody paste.

Others clung to life, praying for Xiao Yun’er’s return.

Four days had passed.

The weight had reached five 2,500kg.

Yet Xiao Yun’er and Tang Yun had no capacity to dwell on this.

Their attention was fixed on Lu Yuan’s true identity.

The son of the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect’s patriarch.

“Brother Yun… Lu Yuan… my… the Xiao family…”

Xiao Yun’er, who had fainted again, was revived.

But as she watched the Shadowstone’s playback—

Tears streamed down her face, her sobs choking her voice.

Agony lanced through her heart like ten thousand arrows.

The weight of grief crushed her lungs, each breath a struggle.

She nearly blacked out again from hyperventilation.

“Yun’er, calm down. I’ll handle this.”

Tang Yun clenched his fists, fury and shock warring within him.

“That bastard played us all—hiding his identity, deceiving everyone!”

He hadn’t anticipated Lu Yuan’s background.

The Demon Sect’s young master.

In status alone, Lu Yuan now eclipsed him completely.

If Xiao Yun’er wavered…

Before Tang Yun could spiral further, a soft warmth pressed against his chest.

“Brother Yun, don’t overthink it. I chose you, and that’s final.”

“But with my family suffering… I need you to stand up for me.”

Xiao Yun’er’s whisper was tender, her body molded against his.

Tang Yun was her anchor now.

Whatever the future held, she would cling to him.

“Yun’er, I swear—I won’t fail you.”

Tang Yun gripped her hands, recalling their vows.

Through glory or ruin, they were bound.

“But Brother Yun… the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect… how can we fight them?”

Xiao Yun’er’s voice trembled.

The number one demonic sect.

The odds of rescuing her family were zero.

Even if she surrendered herself, it would be suicide.

“Leave it to me.”

After a pause, Tang Yun’s eyes hardened.

“With these Heavenly Demon Emperor Eyes, my Sainthood is guaranteed.”

“We’ll inform the elders first—let them petition the Holy Master. Given my status, he’ll intervene.”

As if summoned—

“Tang Yun! The Holy Master summons you!”

A white-robed elder materialized at the bamboo grove’s edge, his voice booming through the stalks.

“It must be about the Sainthood! Yun’er, we’re saved!”

Tang Yun’s heart leapt.

For the Holy Master to call him now…

The timing was perfect.

With his endorsement, the Xiao family might yet survive.

“Go. I’ll wait here.”

Xiao Yun’er managed a nod, pride flickering through her grief.

Her man—soon to be Saint Son.

“No. You’re coming with me.”

Tang Yun squeezed her hands.

“I want you there when I’m crowned. This victory is yours too.”

“Brother Yun…”

Xiao Yun’er’s eyes shimmered.

She’d chosen correctly.

Tang Yun was superior to Lu Yuan in every way.

Hand in hand, they strode forward—

Just as the elder floating above the grove blinked in surprise.

But he smoothed his expression swiftly.

News of Tang Yun’s “hidden beauty” had spread the day he returned.

Even the Holy Master knew.

Youthful passions, the elders had chuckled.

“Hah! Tang Yun, your ‘training trip’ was quite fruitful, I see!”

The elder stroked his beard, wistful for his own bygone vigor.

“Elder, this is Xiao Yun’er of the Xiao family.”

“We’re pledged to each other. But outside…”

Tang Yun summarized events—

Omitting the eye theft.

Painting Lu Yuan as the villain who’d hidden his demonic heritage to seduce Xiao Yun’er.

His Heavenly Demon Emperor Eyes?

Won through life-risking trials in a secret realm.

Xiao Yun’er’s marriage?

A ruse to protect him.

Their midnight flight?

A desperate escape from Lu Yuan’s wrath.

“Tang Yun, this… exceeds my authority.”

The elder’s smile froze, his mind reeling.

The Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect was involved?!

“But I’ll plead your case to the Holy Master.”

“If he agrees to act, I’ll support you fully.”

“If not… my hands are tied.”

“Thank you, Elder!”

Tang Yun pressed several top-grade spirit stones into the elder’s palm.

“This is too much—ah, very well.”

The elder coughed, pocketing the bribe with practiced ease.

“Now, let’s not keep the Holy Master waiting.”

Three streaks of light shot toward the main hall—

Two hearts pounding with hope.

If the Holy Master consented…

Even the Demon Sect would kneel.
