Chapter 1494 âTurns Out, Theyâre the Idiots (2)â
Isnât that funny?
Keeper Zun did not hold back the self-mocking laughter inside of himself after that thought. When looking over to Yun Ruo Xi, his eyes are now entirely filled with disappointment and nothing more.
âKeeper Zun, you listen to me, itâs not like this...â The old witch panics and wants to defend herself. However, this poor image sheâs trying to portray only deepens her guilty image.
âIf you want us to believe in you again then itâs possible. If you can hold onto the amulet then we will.â
Hearing this from the senior brought a flicker of hope to the womanâs eye. She knows All Heaven wouldnât give a reaction to her possession so sheâs assuming the amulet wouldnât resist her either. Whatever the case may be, this deceitful old witch had no other choice but to push on. Bringing her broken body up from the ground, Yun Ruo Xi staggers forward in a frantic manner for the only chance laid before her eyes.
Bai Yan didnât hold the other side in her view though despite whatâs drawing closer, sheâs too immersed in her own world right now.
âStop right there!â Bai Ning wasnât as unfazed as her own daughter though. The lady flew into a rage at whatâs happening and wanted to push the other side away. However, in truth, she did not need to do anything because a gush of light poured out of the amulet and rocketed the old witch out.
Imagine that. Yun Ruo Xi had already been poisoned and injured from the repeated blows from the past, now sheâs being forced to bear another blow from All Heaven. No matter how resistant this cockroach was, sheâs not going to come out unscathed this time around.
Why?
Winger is like that, and now this amulet is like that too! Why is everyone abandoning me after Bai Yan returns?!
Sprawled onto the ground with blood continuing to pour out of her mouth, Yun Ruo Xi had nothing but despair plastered all over those eyes.
âYou robbed my motherâs things before so now itâs considered rightfully returned.â Bai Xiachen chimes in, his big blue eyes sharp and daggering at the foolish one thatâs on the ground. Despite his young age, the childâs already showing the signs of a king, similar to his old manâs there.
âHoho,â the old goat also speaks up knowing what everyone was thinking and questioning, âAll Heaven is not a dead object or mortal item. Before it went into slumber because my mistress was not around, and now that sheâs returned itâs only normal for the amulet to awaken. Also....â He pauses, turning to meet the old witchâs despairing gaze, âBefore when my mistress gave you All Heaven, she wanted it to protect you so it did, but that doesnât mean All Heaven doesnât have a will of its own. When it saw the cruelty and backstabbing nature of your character after you betrayed my mistress, it stopped sheltering you and went into slumber. Thatâs what you get for repaying my mistressâs kindness with evil. You deserve every bit of karma you get!â
Itâs exactly like Dragon Flame said. All those years ago when Bai Yan and Yun Ruo Xi were still good friends, the amulet did do its part in sheltering the old witch with its miraculous powers. However, that all changed once it saw the fox cub being skinned alive by the old witch. Afterwards, the amulet went into a deep silencing slumber, refusing to activate itself again until this day.
Freezing over the truth being pointed out, Yun Ruo Xi flew into a rage of her own. Without a care anymore for her own image, she disgustingly snarls back at the old goat like itâs some kind of joke: âShe treating me well? If she treated me well then why did she not have that old coot take me in as a disciple? All she had to do was say a word and thatâs all! Why are all the good things taken over by her and Iâm left with nothing!â Pausing as a huge cough overtakes her throat, the old witch seemingly overexerted herself in that rant, âIf she is nice to me then why is she taking the amulet back? She gave it to me so itâs mine now! Why should I return it just because she deems it so? If I didnât scheme in delaying it then she wouldâve snatched it back months ago!â
