This idea had been buried deep within him ever since the day Li Qinghe schemed against him. Now, seeing Li Qinghe in such a wretched state, it would be a lie to say Junmo felt no satisfaction. However, this was far from enough to soothe the injuries he had suffered. Being a man forced to bear a child as a woman would—this was an indelible, lifelong trauma. Even if he were to give birth in the future, the fact remained that he could never truly be the man he once was. All of this was the result of Li Qinghe’s machinations; how could he not hate her?
As Li Qinghe’s cold, chilling gaze met Junmo’s, she suddenly let out a cold laugh. "You wouldn't dare!"
Even though Li Feng had stripped Li Qinghe of her status and reduced her to a commoner, the blood of the royal family still flowed through her veins. Without a grave transgression, even Li Feng, as Empress, could not easily take her life. If Junmo dared to lay a hand on her, he naturally would not survive in the Phoenix Clan. Li Qinghe had realized this, and Junmo, naturally, had guessed it as well. But he simply could not stand to see her acting so smug in front of him.
