I want those people to be buried alive and burned in hell as an apology to my Frostâer!
The ever-burning hatred in the manâs eyes glowed through that iris, causing him to manifest an ominous aura that sent chills down to anyone unfortunate enough to draw close.
âYour Monarchness,â a voice suddenly came from the outside and interrupted his train of thought, âMiss Ruo Xi is back. Do you wish to meet her?â
Dust huffs a cold grunt before replying: âLet her in.â
âAs you wish Milord.â The sound outside the study disappeared, followed by the sound of light footsteps quickly drawing closer.
To speak the truth, Monarch Dust had to admit this Yun Ruo Xi was quite the beauty after her scars were healed. This only reinforced his opinion upon seeing the woman again after she pushed open the door and walked inside his study. However, it doesnât mean sheâs the most beautiful female heâd ever seen, itâs only average compared to the ones in his harem.
âWhatâs the matter?â Dustâs voice sounded unsympathetic.
Towards that cold indifference, Yun Ruo Xi had become accustomed to this and didnât appear fazed by the attitude. After all, this man treated everyone the same way, including those concubines inside the harem.
âMonarch Dust, I went to the Heavenly Domain.â Making a faint giggle, this old witch plays the delicate fair maiden card despite her age.
Holding back his inner disgust, âAnd then?â
âBy coincidence, I encountered my greatest nemesis there. I saw Bai Yan, the Queen of the Demon Realm.â
In that moment, Dustâs usual cold indifference vanished and was replaced by a tense harshness as he stood up: âWho did you say you saw? The demon queen?!â
âYes, I saw her, and⦠sheâs Monarch Heavenly Flameâs very own daughter.â Yun Ruo Xi didnât expect such a strong reaction so her confidence diminished significantly there.
âI knew before that Di Cang had married a human womanâ¦.â His focus locks onto the old witch like heâs ready to pounce, âWhat else do you know about that woman? What type of person is this demon queen? Is she like Di Cang or the opposite? I want to know everything.â
Taken aback there by the endless demands, Yun Ruo Xi got all quiet to collect herself. âBai Yan⦠is a beautiful woman.â
She may not like to admit it, but Yun Ruo Xi had to concede that her rival was at a different level to her own beauty.
âBeautiful?â Dust snickers with disdain at the very notion, âDi Cang is not someone that cares about oneâs appearance. Even Frostâerâs beauty cannot captivate him, what other woman canâ¦.â
Frostâer?
Being a sensitive and insecure female, Yun Ruo Xi immediately focused in on that word and started making connections. Dust and Frost, so thatâs how it is⦠But what kind of relationship does this woman have with the monarch?
âI donât know much about Bai Yan, but her character is more on the nasty side. Even back when I was on good terms with her, I would reframe from interacting with herâ¦â The old witch bites down on the lip to make a sad face, âAnd, I know Bai Yan has a lot of men circling around herself at all times. She doesnât have any female friends thatâs why. If I had to speculate, itâs likely due to her using her own body to seduce the opposite sex considering the sort of personality she has.â
Monarch Dustâs narrows in his eyes to reveal an inspecting light from within.
Out of reflex, Yun Ruo Xi subconsciously took a step back under that piercing gaze. She didnât want to say anything good or bad about Bai Yan right now out of fear for raising attention to her rivalâs existence. However, it appears her plan had derailed for even a slight mention of Bai Yan being a flirt had backfired.
