The Medallion

This, of course, shocked everyone present, including the powerful patriarch and the elders of the Wood Clan, and the members sent by the Heavenly Demon Clan.

"Alyssa, what are you doing?" the patriarch of the Wood Clan asked in a mortified tone.

"Patriarch, the Heavenly Demon Clan wants my legendary guardian beast, the Moon Fox. For that reason, I refuse to become a part of their clan. But I do not want to bring shame to my clan either. So, I will hand over the Moon Fox and will die to atone for my behavior," Alyssa said resolutely. She now knew the Heavenly Demon Clan's intention—they wanted the Moon Fox, not her. If it was just her being sent to the Heavenly Demon Clan, she might have reluctantly agreed. But the Wood Clan had already agreed to exchange her and the Moon Fox for the spiritual treasure. There was no room for any discussions at this point. Above all, she had no will to marry the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Clan because she had already fallen in love with someone else.

"What's going on here, Patriarch?" the elder of the Heavenly Demon Clan demanded. Alyssa was playing some kind of drama, and he wanted to get over this as soon as possible. He was so close to obtaining the Moon Fox, and couldn't afford to let this woman destroy everything at the last minute. If his patriarch hadn't ordered him to bring Alyssa and the Moon Fox back together to his clan, he wouldn't have bothered to care whether she was alive or dead.

The patriarch of the Wood Clan tried to pacify the elder. "Elder, please give us a moment. Let us talk to her."

He then turned to Alyssa. "Alyssa, think about this carefully. This alliance is of great importance to the Wood Clan," the patriarch said, trying to reason with her.

"Yes, Alyssa, let's talk about this! Think twice before you take this step," the elders of the Wood Clan echoed.

The alliance between them and the Heavenly Demon Clan was indeed a cry for help. The Wood Clan failed to get the half of their spiritual treasure, and Alyssa's Moon Fox wouldn't evolve to become a true legendary guardian beast either. An alliance was the only way to delay the oncoming war.

mind; her sacrifice was inevitable. It was better to end her life than to endure humiliation and burden for the rest of her life. She was lucky enough to meet the person she had wanted to see the most in the end. She had no regrets. If there was one, perhaps, it was that she could not express her innermost feelings
