Chapter 1139 “Celestial Realm’s Faction (9)”
Turning back to her calm and collected self again after that proclamation, Yun Ruo Xi was about to carry out her plan again when the boy’s punch had coming flying for her face. In a moment of urgency, the woman didn’t dodge, rather she made a grab for the maid to use as a shield.
Feeling her chest sink in from the punch, Xiao Qing swings her head around in a robotic fashion. Those eyes were full of disbelief: “Miss, why….?”
Poor girl, she’s followed this woman for all these years and this was the payment for her loyalty. If she had known the ending would be like this then Xiao Qing never would’ve stuck around and fled years ago instead of serving someone so heartless.
“I have no reason for keeping such a useless one like you around anymore. In that case, I might as well use you for one final task. Don’t worry, thanks to your death, I now know what his weakness is.” Drawing a wide grin that’s unfitting of what she just did, Yun Ruo Xi returns her attention to the boy with renewed vigor of confidence.
This demon boy may be more powerful than me, but he’s no different from a monster that only knows how to attack. He’s clearly lost the ability to think properly, that means the initial cunning and slyness he had is gone. I can use that to my advantage….
Yes, in the heart of this woman, Bai Xiachen was a cunning and sly brat who would twist a situation to his advantage whenever possible. But now, that has changed and that meant a weakness and an opening for exploitation!
……
At the same time that was occurring in the valley, another commotion was currently taking place at the city of demons which sent all of its residences into a panic.
Bai Yan and her husband were of course alerted despite being in their bedroom. Getting up, the couple exchanged an understanding look between themselves before First Elder’s voice called out from the outside.
“Sire, those of the Celestial Realm are here at our doorstep, they’re all High Divines!”
Di Cang’s eyes had turned hard and cold: “Go down first, I will come out in a bit.” That said, he immediately turned back to his wife that’s lying beside himself and combed through her hair with gentle grace. “Wait here for me, I’ll be back very soon.”
“No, I’ll come with you.” Bai Yan knew the guy would say that so she promptly reached out to grab at his arm so he wouldn’t leave. For some unknown reason, her heart felt very anxious and uneasy right now to the point it’s upsetting her mood.
“Yan Yan, I don’t want you to get hurt so just stay here for me. If you’re by my side then I’ll be too distracted to focus on the battle.” Showing a reassuring smile, Di Cang didn’t make up some random excuse, its true he’s going to be distracted otherwise.
Slightly taken aback by the answer, Bai Yan eventually loosened her hands in understanding. “Alright, you go quickly and come back quickly.”
Needing no more words, Di Cang went ahead to give his wife a kiss on the forehead as a goodbye before draping on his robe for the outside. However, Bai Yan didn’t stay put like the demon king wanted. Right after he’s gone, Bai Yan immediately climbed out of bed as well and pushed the door open.
“Queen.” One of the guards saw who it was coming out so he promptly got in front and took to the knees: “His Majesty’s order, you must stay here while the enemies are attacking.”
Initially she wanted to shoot that order down with her own, but that changed once her eyes caught sight of a dragon quickly rushing in on her location from above. Seconds later, the dragon transforms into a tearing girl.
“Dragony?” All shocked on the face, “What are you doing here?”
