Chapter 1137 “Celestial Realm’s Faction (7)”
Twitching his mouth out of reflex due to that ridiculous answer, Bai Xiachen almost wanted to scream: “But Grandpapa, that bad woman from yesterday is also wearing a white dress!”
“It’s not the same. Even if that bitch turns to ash, I will still recognize her!” The old coot kept grinding his teeth when speaking. It’s clear the grudge he held for Yun Ruo Xi has seeped straight into his bones and would never be forgotten.
From out of the blue before anyone knew what’s happening, a looped rope just dropped down from the tree where the old coot was leaning against and locked him into a tie. Now the poor senior was hanging upside in a bind with a clueless face at what has happened.
“Who’s attacking me? Let me down now, I still need to go chase my Bai Bai!”
Just as the old coot was trying to break free, a voice interrupts him from the rear.
“I’m afraid you won’t have the opportunity to go after your good old granddaughter anymore…” Coming out of hiding was Yun Ruo Xi in person, her smile full of ridicule and mocking flavor when looking at her hated foe.
“Weren’t you all about beating me before? What, where’s your attitude now? Oh right, don’t try to struggle, I stole the rope directly from the shrine altar of the Celestial palace. It can subdue even someone of your level with ease.”
The altar was rarely visited by anyone so she’s very confident no one would discover the rope’s disappearance until a much later date. If Yun Ruo Xi had to lament on anything, it would be her wasting the precious treasure on the crazy old coot when she had intended to use it on the demon king.
“What are you planning to do? Bai Xiachen’s expression turned a darker note, “And the white woman just now, was that one of your people?”
Almost showing a mad snarl at this point, the wretched woman did not hesitate to admit to the fact. “Brat, just because you bunch manage to catch me in the public yesterday doesn’t mean it will turn out the same tonight. No one is going to be able to save you.”
Though the person herself doesn’t realizes it yet, but the face Yun Ruo Xi made was borderline insane! Those eyes were wide with madness and that grin predatory like she’s going to tear into them. As a result, Dragony instinctively hid behind the boy for cover and didn’t want to come out of hiding.
“Let Old Grandpapa down, I’ll let you do as you please with me.” The little steambun offers, understanding there’s no one else here to take charge unless he does.
“Haha!” Cackling like she’s heard some hilarious joke, the woman stares down at the brave kid with contempt. “Let him down? This old thing has been making trouble for me for years! And yesterday he dared to humiliate me before the public, yet you still expect me to let him go?” Showing a derisive smirk, “And you, you shouldn’t be worrying about others when you can’t even secure your own safety!”
The last comment finally made the little steambun’s heart sink. Deliberately lowering his voice into a hush tone so it could only be heard by the little missy: “Dragony, I’m going to toss you out of here in a bit, you go to the city and find Mother and Baddie Father for help.”
“Gege (big brother)….” Dragony tightly clenched the boy’s hand after hearing that, those eyes full of worry.
“Don’t hesitate. There are only a hundred miles left before the Demon City, at your speed you should be able to reach it in no time. Only by finding Baddie Father can you save us here.”
Despite her unwillingness to leave, Dragony purses her lip and nodded in the end, knowing full well he’s right and there’s no other choice.
