Nezha felt a sharp pain as Ao Bing's words seemed to evade their relationship. "So you're saying that our relationship will become a burden for you?"
"That's not what I mean," Ao Bing hurriedly explained. "But given the current situation, I must prioritize the overall interests of the Dragon Tribe. If Ao Lie finds out about my close ties with the Magic Orb Reincarnation, he will use that to incite more elders to side with him, claiming that I am being influenced by the Demon Orb and am unfit to inherit the dragon throne."
"I see," Nezha's voice grew cold. "So the dragon throne is more important than I am?"
"Nezha, you know that's not true," Ao Bing's tone was filled with anguish. "I am the prince of the Dragon Tribe, bearing the future of the entire tribe on my shoulders. This isn't about my personal choice; it's about the fate of millions of Dragon Tribe citizens."
The air grew heavy, and Aunt Taiyi discreetly stepped aside, giving them some private space.
"I understand your responsibilities, Ao Bing," Nezha said, trying to remain calm. "But I have my own responsibilities as well. The power of the Demon Orb is within me, and if the Li Yang Sect truly needs it to complete their ritual, then it is my duty to stop them. Moreover..." His voice trembled slightly, "moreover, I cannot just stand by and watch you fall into danger."
"Nezha, listen to me," Ao Bing's voice softened. "I know you worry about me, and I worry about you too. But some things I must face alone. This is an internal struggle within the Dragon Tribe, entangled with ancient grudges and complex power dynamics. Your involvement would only complicate matters further."
"So you want me to stand by idly?" Nezha's voice was filled with frustration. "Like a powerless bystander waiting for news from you? What if you encounter danger? What if you never come back?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end before Ao Bing sighed. "Nezha, I must remain calm and rational. As the Dragon Prince, I need to learn to weigh the bigger picture against personal feelings. Right now, the safety of the Dragon Tribe must come first."
"It's always about the Dragon Tribe! The Dragon Tribe! The Dragon Tribe!" Nezha couldn't help but become agitated. "What about me? What do I mean to you? Just a beautiful school romance that must be discarded once we return to reality?"
"You know it's not like that," Ao Bing's voice also carried emotion now. "But reality is cruel. We each bear heavy responsibilities and must make sacrifices. The Dragon Tribe and humanity exist in two different worlds; our union is fraught with difficulties and challenges."
"Then why did you agree to be with me in the first place?" Nezha questioned fiercely. "Why give me hope and make me believe we could find a way to coexist?"
"Because I truly love you, Nezha!" Ao Bing raised his voice unusually. "It is precisely because I love you that I cannot let you fall into danger. The Li Yang Sect's target is your Demon Sphere Power. If you fall into their hands, the consequences would be unimaginable. I cannot bear the pain of losing you!"
Nezha was taken aback by Ao Bing's sudden emotional outburst, but quickly became more resolute. "If that's the case, you should understand my feelings even more. I cannot stand by and let you face danger alone! Ao Bing, let me help you; we can face this together."
"No," Ao Bing's voice returned to a calm yet undeniably firm tone. "Nezha, this time, you must listen to me. Stay at school and take care of yourself. Once everything settles down, I will come back for you."
"What if I refuse?" Nezha asked stubbornly.
"Then I will have to take measures to stop you," Ao Bing said calmly. "I have already asked Taiyi Senior to restrict your movements if necessary. She has agreed."
