The question of whether a man could have a husband hung in the air as murmurs spread among the men and women, who stole glances at the two men standing before them. But Mei Deng stood firm.
"Village head, I'll say it again. This man is my spouse, always has been, and nothing will change that," he declared, while Yu Xiaoguang's insistence only fueled the village head's anger.
"Are you insane? Retract your words now, or I will sever the heads of both of you sinners," the village head cursed, throwing his cup of liquor on the floor.
Guards flooded in from both sides and surrounded them, preventing any attempts to escape. The general remained calm, balancing Da-Xia on his shoulders while counting their numbers with his eyes.
Mei Deng stretched out his hands in front of Ruolan, resolute. "I will not retract my words. I feel no shame for what I am," he declared in a firm voice.
