He gently closed his eyes, allowing the image of a young human to emerge from the deep passage of his memory. Itâs a female donning a red dress of amazing makeup, and hanging along her neck was that crescent shaped amulet!
âThis... Why is it on you?â
This amulet is clearly that womanâs!
Moreover, that woman has now become the Demon Realmâs current queen....
Although Bai Yan hasnât admitted to being the same person in Dragon Flameâs memory from many millenniums ago, he could still recognize her through the aura coming off of the soul. Itâs identical, an unmistakable trademark of the individual regardless of how many incarnations they go through.
Why is the queenâs stuff on this woman?
Yun Ruo Xiâs expression promptly changed for the worse. Grabbing the amulet in a protective manner: âWhat do you mean by that? This thing is mine, whatâs wrong with it being on me?â
Dragon Flame narrowed his eyes in like a fierce beast eyeing a prey: âQuit trying to deceive me with your nonsense. That thing on your neck clearly belongs to that....â
When he was about to speak the last bit, his tongue stopped and changed the wording to a more proper term: âThat amulet clearly belongs to the queen so how can it be yours? No wonder I havenât seen it on Her Highnessâs neck at all, itâs been stolen by you!â
Boom!
As if struck by lightning on a sunny and clear day, Yun Ruo Xi went deathly pale at being exposed.
Why does the old man know about the moon amulet? Why does he know it belongs to that bitch Bai Yan?!
âYouâre talking nonsense!â Eager to hide her own guilt, she snaps back in a frantic manner like a bansheeâs howl: âWhat right does a person like Bai Yan deserve to have my amulet? This thing is clearly mine. It was she who stole it from me for a while before I managed to take it back.â
No matter what, sheâs not going to admit anything, even if the other side already knew the truth. However, it doesnât mean others are going to buy her story just like that, especially Winger whoâs been standing there and listening in with strong intention.
The bird man only appeared skeptical at first after hearing the story from the old goat, but that skepticism soon changed to shock before evolving into an eerie calm.
âUncle Dragon Flame.... This amulet, it belongs to Ruo Xi, are you mistaken?â Even if he tries to hide it, one could tell the swirling emotions in Wingerâs unsteady voice.
His heart couldnât bring itself to believe it, not because of blind belief, but rather of fear for all the pain and suffering he endured. What if Ruo Xi deceived him for all these years? Wouldnât that mean he became a dog for someone for no apparent reason? Such humiliation, he simply couldnât accept it!
Hahaha, ridiculous, this is too ridiculous!
Breaking out into laughter at the questioning look, Dragon Flame almost found it funny that he needed to explain his own claim like itâs some ironic scenario.
âYou ignorant fools even know what that amulet represents? It represents power, talent and strength! The one holding it will control the world, an omnipotent being to rule them all! Why you may ask? Thatâs because hidden inside that amulet is the secret to great strength, power beyond anything you could possibly imagine! Go ahead, ask that woman over there if she can tap into the secret, come on, I dare you.â Laughing to no end, the old goatâs voice continued to ring against the bird manâs ear like endless mockery.
Winger couldnât take it anymore. Stumbling backwards until heâs leaning against a nearby tree for support, this poor soul kept shaking his head in disbelief like a man thatâs been betrayed and destroyed from the inside out.
