Narrowing his old eyes, Keeper Lingâs aura returns to that frosty chill.
Give her a chance?
How outrageous! That wretched woman has already shown her true colors time and time again. Forget about giving her a chance, I wouldnât even give her a chance to be reincarnated for a third time!
Despite his own opinion on the matter, the elder didnât have the heart to downright refute the girl and hurt her feelings. Smiling with a nod: âAlright, if she is willing to repent then Iâll give her a chance. Of course, she must first exile herself and leave the bounds of the Demon Realm then Iâll give her the opportunity. Otherwiseâ¦.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThank you Keeper Ling.â Drawing a bright smile on her face, she arches her fist and retreats for the exit where she revealed her true nature â thereâs only a sinister smirk left.
â¦â¦
âIs the Celestial Lord back yet?â Yun Ruo Xi asks the guard after making sure no oneâs seeing.
âNo milady, the Celestial Lord hasnât return.â
âAlright, I understand. If you notice his return then come inform me right away.â Thereâs bitterness in her voice then. She knows the love of her doom was also her poison, yet she couldnât deny him and was willing to throw herself into that flame.
â¦â¦
Demon City.
Inside the luxurious palace that was only constructed here in recent months, Bai Yan loafs around in a lazy fashion like she normally does.
âHmm?â Itâs then without any forewarning, a white figure skims through the ladyâs sight and roused her attention.
Normally Bai Yan would be quite alarmed to be intruded upon in her own home and without anyone by her side, but this person was someone she recognized. Without hesitation, she got up from the bed to meet the new guest.
âHow come you are here?â She asks the person who had stopped moving under the peach blossom tree. Ever since that day where he saved her within the Holy Domain, she hasnât seen Chu Yi God again.
âI came to see you in order to offer a solution in saving your son.â He explains with a complex light in those eyes.
âA way to save Xiachen?â The ladyâs eye tightened up at the notion, âDo you know the cause behind it?â
Forming a thin smile along his lips, Chu Yi God didnât hide anything: âYes, when I treated him before during the first time I had already known how to save him. There are only two ways. One is to destroy the resenting grudge inside his body. The second is to have them merge together and become one. However, the second method will require the consent of the âgrudgeâ and a key component.â
âWhat component?â Bai Yan asks with a furrowed face.
âThe blood of a celestial fox.â
The blood of a celestial fox?
Startled by the name of said creature, Bai Yan searched through her own memories to no avail. Sheâs never heard of such a fox in her life.
âYour husband should know this already. I speculate the reason he didnât tell you before I did is because of the dangerous terrain the animal lives in. That place is called the Cloud Mountain. If you werenât pregnant then the risk might not be an issue, but the way you are nowâ¦.â
As expected, Bai Yan went silent at first before breaking out a shallow smile: âI know Di Cang is worried about me and doesnât want me to take the risks in my state. Iâm sure he was intending to go by himself at some point, but I am me, I have never been one to hide behind a man.â
