Chapter 1898 “The Medicine Sect’s and Misty Fairy House’s Fight (2)”
The maid heavily bit her lips. She’s reluctant to say but answered truthfully anyways: “The woman is very beautiful.”
“That’s all?” The middle-aged man frowned and continued to ask.
“She’s beautiful, a striking kind of beauty, especially when she’s dressed in red. The air she has is overwhelmingly memorable. She also had three kids with her. One was about six years old while the other two were about two years old….”
The maid did not see the expression made by her uncle a she explained, but he had literally turned green in horror.
It’s reported that the owner of the Holy Island loves to wear red all year round. What’s more, she also has a child which should be around six as well by this year. On top of that, rumor has it the person has given birth to twins not too long ago…. If going by all these clues, he could be almost certain this woman was the owner of the Holy Island.
“Zheng Yun, this time I can’t save you, you better flee as soon as you can.” The middle-aged man sneered, “By the way, once you go back to your home, tell your mother I will no longer have anything to do with the Zheng Clan. I do not want to be dragged down by someone else’s mistake.”
One protects their own interest, each for themselves.
Moreover, he’s done enough for the Zheng Clan thus far. They’re already three generations apart, thus making them distant relatives at best. Like bringing Zheng Yun into the Holy Land and getting her the post as the maid of the Holy Lord, that’s already a favor he didn’t need to do. Now that this distant niece of hers failed in winning the Holy Lord’s heart, why should he continue to support such a girl or her family?
“Uncle…” The maid became stupefied by the cruel reality and became flustered, “What do you mean by that?”
The middle-aged man sneered some more, “Do you know who you’ve offended? She’s the strongest person in the human world!
Others may not know this, but I’ve been following the Lord for many years, how can I not know her? Not only is her talent above everyone else’s, she’s also the wife of the king of the demons! Let’s put it this way. If her husband summoned the horde of demons upon us, they could destroy the entire human world!”
Huffing to keep himself from losing composure, “No, no, no, they actually don’t need that many demons, just a small fraction is enough. They can literally turn the human world into a territory of the Demon Realm, do you understand?”
His chest would rise up and down in strides due to the anger he felt inside. Honestly, the man regretted helping the Zheng Clan from the heart’s down at this point.
The maid’s body froze as she looked up in dismay, those eyes popping out of reflex.
“All of this… you are certain?”
“Hoho,” the middle-aged man sarcastically ticked his lips into a snarling smirk, “when did I ever lie to you? No one has lived on the Holy Island for many years now, not even the princess lives there. Do you know why? It’s because the Holy Lord has gifted the island to her long ago. Only she is eligible to live there.”
The maid’s face got pale like a ghost. Even the princess cannot live on the island, only she can?
“Uncle, it can’t be that the Lord really likes her?”
“Like her? Indeed, the Lord really does like her, but as a daughter-in-law. Sadly, that person didn’t have the young master in her eye and the union fell apart and never came to fruition. Despite all that, the Lord still takes her as a daughter in his eye, that’s how highly prized she is to everyone in the Holy Land.”
The middle-aged man knew the thought running through her distant niece’s mind and wanted to snuff it out before it blew out of proportion.
Zheng Yun’s body turned to stone in that instant. Standing there with the breeze blowing against her body, the maid never felt so afraid in her entire life. In fact, her entire back had become drenched in sweat by this stage.
