Without uttering a word as a stream of salty fluid trickled down onto her mouth from above, the demon queen gradually locks onto the mentioned old bastard after making sure this was real.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDid you hurt my Ling Yan?â She asks with the most menacing glare.
Gu Lao didnât get frightened by that eerie glare though. Sneering in his voice: âThatâs right.â
âWhy?â
My Ling Yan did nothing, why hurt her?
âIâve already explained this to Elder Butterfly before and I have no reason for it aside from that she doesnât deserve to live.â Holding himself high and mighty, Gu Lao doesnât even flinch when spouting that crap.
This girl is just someone who wants to climb up to the monarchâs bed, why should I be afraid of anything?
Loosening her protective grip around Ling Yanâs body, Bai Yan suddenly bursts out laughing. It grew wilder and wilder until her very voice echoed across the entire valley, sending all of the nearby critters fleeing due to the creepiness.
âGood! What a good way of saying one doesnât deserve to live!â Bai Yanâs eyes pinned onto the old bastard as she began to trudge forward at him in a very scary manner, âSince you are willing to spout such things then Iâm sure you wonât mind paying the price for your own words.â
âAnd you think you can make me pay by yourself?â Gu Lao grew derisive in his smirk, dismissing any possibility of this woman being a threat.
âThatâs right, by myself!â Bai Yanâs voice now sounded chilling to the bone.
However, before either party could make a move against one another, another third voice that was harsh and cold cuts in from the front. âWho did you say doesnât deserve to live?â
Without a question, this voice was all too familiar to everyone present so they didnât require a single moment to recognize it.
Gu Laoâs body froze as a result. Stiffly swinging his head at the source, that old figure started to shake as his vision landed on the sword like man casting his shadow over the group from the sky.
He-heâs back....
Gu Laoâs eyes shrank once he took a better glance and realized thereâs another woman standing beside the monarch.
That woman... isnât that Mrs. Diâs mother? Why is she with the monarch?
âMonarch!â Butterfly became ecstatic at the sight of her liege returning. Her moodâs been thrown up and down lately so itâs taking a heavy toll on this female elder who nearly died today.
The monarch is back...
Heâs finally back!
Thatâs great......
With His Monarchness here, Gu Lao wonât be able to make waves anymore, and Miss Ling Yan is safe now.
Perhaps itâs the easing of her tenseness coming too abruptly, but Butterflyâs legs quickly gave way once she got those thoughts into her head. Without much of a struggle, the woman collapsed to the ground and started to laugh hysterically.
âGrandpapa!â Ling Yanâs eyes got all teary and red once she recognized who has come. However, the pipsqueak did not let those tears roll due to her own stubbornness. She wants to appear strong before Bai Yan.
âYouâre back...â
Seeing that Ling Yanâs clothes were covered in blood, Heavenlyâs mood didnât fare so well despite the welcoming words.
âYou hurt Ling Yan?â The grandfather turns to the old bastard and asks after getting a grasp of the situation.
Looking ugly in his face, Gu Lao grinds his teethes in frustration: âMonarch, I only....â
âGrandma!â Before that reply could be finished, Di Ling Yan had broken free from her own motherâs hold and quickly ran for the two newcomers spot after they landed.
Bai Ningâs heart almost stopped beating there once she saw the blood ridden clothes on the child. Without fail, the grandmother also ran forward and caught that tiny body.
âQuick Ling Yan, show me where youâre hurt. Grandmother here will have a look.â
Giggling as she shook her little head: âItâs okay Grandmother, Iâm fine. The wounds have already healed....â
