Chapter 1709 “State Teacher’s injury (4)”
“But State Teacher, I really don’t want to leave you for even a moment…” That said, the princess closes her eyes to recall back to the moment where the man fell.
She’s remembered it all now due to the trauma. They were nearly wed back then! If not for that incident, perhaps… she would’ve already been his wife by now, and they be with children all around like a happy family.
“Princess, let’s go back to the palace first, and your injuries…” Fourth Elder slowly stepped forward and attempts to persuade the girl only to be rejected in the next with a shake of the head.
“This wound is nothing, the hurt State Teacher took in my stead is far more painful…”
The her in the past would’ve been afraid of pain, afraid of death, but this precious and kind man has died, that means so does her heart that went with him. What does it matter for a small little hole to be in her chest? It doesn’t hurt at all because her whole being was numb to the bone!
Fourth Elder opened his mouth only to look down at the lifeless body on her laps. Coming up with an idea: “Princess, if you don’t treat your injury then State Teacher will surely be distressed. He isn’t… his soul hasn’t completely left yet, I’m sure he’s still watching you.”
Di Xiao Wan’s body went rigidly stiff, voice sounding soulless in her own right: “I mustn’t worry State Teacher…. You are right, I need a Dan pill, I need some medicine.”
In her panic, the demon princess clumsily dropped a bunch of the medicine bottles she found inside her storage ring. Nevertheless, she did manage to pop one of the proper ones into her mouth after some struggle. She’s always been nitpicky when it came to cleanliness, but right now was not that time.
Sure enough, the wound in her chest swiftly closed and the blood quenched after ingesting the pill. Making a sad and pitiful smile: “You see State Teacher? I am good, you don’t need to worry about me, I can…. I can take care of myself. Why don’t you open your eyes and see for yourself…?”
Clearly, the heartache and unstable emotions continued to dominate that poor mind, which caused the grieving lass to say that last bit of irrational request. Letting go of your loved ones are always the hardest after all.
“Princess, who exactly is it that came to murder State Teacher?” Fourth Elder could not hold back his rage anymore after hearing those heart wrenching words.
Though reluctant, the demon princess eventually looked up to meet the old demon’s gaze: “I do not know… I don’t know anything, all I know is that I caused State Teacher’s death.”
This is all my fault, I damned State Teacher with my own foolishness and blindness….
Its then when the mood has hit a standstill and left them all extremely heavy and dark, several familiar auras suddenly caught their attention. It’s coming fast and roused the group to look up towards at the source direction. Of them Di Xiao Wan should be the most excited here, but events so far dampened any mood for joy in this case.
Meanwhile over in the sky, Di Cang and Bai Yan had come to a halt by this point. They could also sense the strange atmosphere gripping the Demon Realm. Sweeping their gaze across the horizon, their attention soon fell upon the sea of flowers where they saw State Teacher’s bloodstained body.
“Mother…” Bai Xiachen tugs at his mother’s sleeve after finding this oppressive air discomforting, “What happened to Auntie and State Teacher? Why… can’t I sense State Teacher’s energy signature?”
Coming back to attention, Fourth Elder was the first to cry out after recognizing the faces: “King, Queen, Prince, thank goodness you’re back, State Teacher he… he’s dead…”
