Narrowing his old eyes, Keeper Ling’s aura returns to that frosty chill.
Give her a chance?
How outrageous! That wretched woman has already shown her true colors time and time again. Forget about giving her a chance, I wouldn’t even give her a chance to be reincarnated for a third time!
Despite his own opinion on the matter, the elder didn’t have the heart to downright refute the girl and hurt her feelings. Smiling with a nod: “Alright, if she is willing to repent then I’ll give her a chance. Of course, she must first exile herself and leave the bounds of the Demon Realm then I’ll give her the opportunity. Otherwise….”
“Thank you Keeper Ling.” Drawing a bright smile on her face, she arches her fist and retreats for the exit where she revealed her true nature – there’s only a sinister smirk left.
……
“Is the Celestial Lord back yet?” Yun Ruo Xi asks the guard after making sure no one’s seeing.
“No milady, the Celestial Lord hasn’t return.”
“Alright, I understand. If you notice his return then come inform me right away.” There’s bitterness in her voice then. She knows the love of her doom was also her poison, yet she couldn’t deny him and was willing to throw herself into that flame.
……
Demon City.
Inside the luxurious palace that was only constructed here in recent months, Bai Yan loafs around in a lazy fashion like she normally does.
“Hmm?” It’s then without any forewarning, a white figure skims through the lady’s sight and roused her attention.
Normally Bai Yan would be quite alarmed to be intruded upon in her own home and without anyone by her side, but this person was someone she recognized. Without hesitation, she got up from the bed to meet the new guest.
“How come you are here?” She asks the person who had stopped moving under the peach blossom tree. Ever since that day where he saved her within the Holy Domain, she hasn’t seen Chu Yi God again.
“I came to see you in order to offer a solution in saving your son.” He explains with a complex light in those eyes.
“A way to save Xiachen?” The lady’s eye tightened up at the notion, “Do you know the cause behind it?”
Forming a thin smile along his lips, Chu Yi God didn’t hide anything: “Yes, when I treated him before during the first time I had already known how to save him. There are only two ways. One is to destroy the resenting grudge inside his body. The second is to have them merge together and become one. However, the second method will require the consent of the ‘grudge’ and a key component.”
“What component?” Bai Yan asks with a furrowed face.
“The blood of a celestial fox.”
The blood of a celestial fox?
Startled by the name of said creature, Bai Yan searched through her own memories to no avail. She’s never heard of such a fox in her life.
“Your husband should know this already. I speculate the reason he didn’t tell you before I did is because of the dangerous terrain the animal lives in. That place is called the Cloud Mountain. If you weren’t pregnant then the risk might not be an issue, but the way you are now….”
As expected, Bai Yan went silent at first before breaking out a shallow smile: “I know Di Cang is worried about me and doesn’t want me to take the risks in my state. I’m sure he was intending to go by himself at some point, but I am me, I have never been one to hide behind a man.”
