In light of herself gasping for air now that sheâs free, Qing Xue (second snake woman) only needed a glance to recognize Bai Yan face in that moment. Somehow her face had gotten even whiter despite being nothing but a soul right now.
Sheâ¦.. sheâs back?
Did His Majesty really convince her to return?
But how? She shouldnât have considering that huge misunderstanding. Whatâs more, this human woman would never forgive the king with her personality, she just wonâtâ¦.
âYouâ¦â Qing Xueâs voice started to stutter, making it almost impossible for that tongue to spell out a single proper sentence.
All menacing in the face, Bai Yan meets the other sideâs gaze: âWhat, surprised to see me? Or are you surprised by the fact that I would return so soon?â
Tightly biting down on her lower lip, Qing Xueâs body trembled incessantly under that light battering of the mountain breeze.
âNo need to fret, Iâll tell you. Itâs actually quite simple in factâ¦â Slowly coming up to the snake demoness, âI was indeed very angry that day and didnât think things through. Adding in the fact that I got no explanation from Di Cang that month, I left without a second thought.â
âBut you forgot something important, and that is his feelings for me. In order to keep me safe, my man had secretly given me a protection talisman to keep me out of danger. If thatâs the case, why would he try to kill me when heâs so desperate to protect me?â
Bai Yan couldnât deny the fact that she and Di Cangâs time together was too short, making it easy for others to shake their foundation. But not anymore. This time she intends to rectify that problem!
âSo I began to think. Going over the events one at a time, I eventually found the flaws until I was certain something was wrong.â Sneering in her lips now, Bai Yan stares down at the snakeâs soul with contempt: âAnd when he came for me, it didnât take much for me to believe his words.â
Well, explanation was honestly not needed back then. Issue was Bai Yan wanted Di Cang to learn from the mistake of keeping so many secrets to himself, hence the reason why she stringed him along with various terms and such.
Qing Xue had gone stiff at the knowledge. Slowly closing her pained eyes, bitterness gripped that voice: âWhy? Why did you show up? You are clearly just a human, why do you get to keep the king to yourself?!â
Lowering her momentum at the question, Bai Yan happily obliged her: âWant to know why? No problem, Iâll tell you. Iâm with Di Cang not because of some prophecy you demons made up, nor did I marry him for the sake of my son, but rather for the fact that its him. I love him and thatâs why Iâm staying with him.â
Thatâs right, thatâs all the reason I need. Iâm with him because I love himâ¦..
âIf you had only went after me then I mightâve given you a quick ending, but because you went after my sonâ¦â Raising a smirk, Bai Yanâs face grew terrifyingly dark and dangerous, âI will let you know what it meanâs to experience hell itself!â
Popping her eyes out in horror, Qing Xueâs stutters as she watched that beautiful face inch closer and closer: âYou⦠what do you want to do? Iâm already so miserable and hurt by the one I love, what else do you want to do to me?â
What can be worse than having my soul burned by an ethereal flame?
âSuzaku, Iâm finding the temperature of your flame lacking in dealing with this person.â Taking out a bottle of pink powder, she readily hands it over to the phoenix, âUse this.â
âOkay.â Waving her hand, the flaming cage once again imprisons the two souls and allowed Suzaku to easily pour the content inside.
In that instant, a heart wrenching scream once again rang out from withinâ¦.
If itâs said that the pain from before was ten times the normal level then this time it would be over a hundred. Worse of all, her soulâs unable to be destroyed or disintegrate, making this perennially eternal damnation!
