“When did we ever go after the queen? Quit making false accusations. As far that Yun Ruo Xi, humph, that woman deserves what she got! If she hadn’t abused a newborn foxling in the Demon Palace back then, and then cruelly skinned the child alive, she wouldn’t have angered so many demons and made us chase after her!”
For First Elder, one of his greatest regrets was not murdering that evil scourge at the time, thus leading to all those tragic events over time! Seriously, in his mind he never could’ve imagined such a fragile looking girl to be so ruthless and cruel inside. It’s shocking for him back then. Imagine their future queen’s close friend being so evil at heart, what could he have done?
“Hoho!” Keeper Ling snarls dismissively and retorts, “You think I will believe you when Ruo Xi is such a kind and gentle lady? I’ll tell you the truth now, not long ago we have discovered a mean to heal her body.” When saying this, he made sure to make eye contact with Di Cang so that his meaning doesn’t get misinterpreted: “We only need the blood of a purebred fox from the royal line to completely cure her. But Ruo Xi couldn’t bear the idea and pleaded with us to give up the plan, yet you still say she would skin a foxling alive?”
First Elder didn’t even want to argue with these fools so he merely snickered a laugh at that claim. In his view, it would just be a matter of time before they find out the hidden vile darkness inside that girl’s heart.
In the face of these shameless remarks, Di Cang continues to stand there with his hand behind his back. However, the mood around his face has grown tremendously dark.
“Di Cang, we are here this time to tell this matter! To save Ruo Xi is to use the purest of blood from your line, and it must be a young female one at that! After you generate a new daughter, you are to hand it over to us!” Keeper Hyun’s attitude there was that of absolute compliance, leaving no room for argument.
Whether it be First Elder or the rest of the demons standing there along the city wall, everyone was completely stunned by what they were hearing.
Are these people from the Celestial Palace stupid? They would dare to say something like that in front of the king? And in such a determined fashion?
The kindest of the three Keeper Zun also showed a frown over his peer’s statement. He’s of the same idea and was ready to make such a demand, but his phrases were set to be more excusable and accepting to the idea. What Hyun did there was a direct slap across the face and outright rude.
But no matter, what’s said has been said, there’s no reason for any of them to worry about the consequences when they didn’t care either way.
Suddenly, a burst of hysterical laughter breaks the eerie silence. It’s overbearing and oppressive like some giant mountain was crushing down from above.
“Based on what can she use my daughter to save herself?”
