“You…” Keeper Zun shakily points his finger at the woman that’s now come out of the spatial void, “You were captured by the demons, how did you get here?”
Even if the woman covered herself with a face veil, none here would be deceived by that thin garment.
Yun Ruo Xi!
This woman… is still alive? The demons didn’t kill her?
No!
No way, the demons hate her so much, this can’t be her!
“The demons?” Yun Ruo Xi sounded almost amused and chuckled at that, her eyes flashing the undisguised hatred she had for those beings: “What of the demons? The pain they inflicted upon me will be repaid in due time!” She descends from the sky and then comes before her former protectors.
How did she get out of the Demon Realm?
What did she experience during this period?
And what happened to allow her to be so pompous?
These were merely a few of the questions that reverberated along these people’s mind.
“You all must be wondering on how I got away don’t you?” Smirking underneath her veil, the derisive snickering couldn’t be denied: “I may as well tell you fools then. A very powerful individual is now backing me. if it wasn’t because the person couldn’t do anything outside of the Celestial Realm then the Demon Realm would’ve long been destroyed!”
Keeper Zun’s eye are now fully fixated onto the woman’s figure due to those words, More powerful than the demons? And just now… didn’t she come out of a spatial void?
“Yun Ruo Xi!” Keeper Ling who had the worst temper suddenly exploded, losing all reason from his voice: “How dare you appear before us again? If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have wronged Bai Yan, nor would we have commited so many mistakes in the past. If it weren’t for you, none of this would’ve occurred! Even death won’t absolve you of your sins!”
The lying witch only laughed some more at the accusation: “That’s only because you’re too stupid to realize that on your own, HAHA! I may have needed to heed your faces in order to live back then, but no more, I will never need to worry about you fools ever again! So what if Bai Yan is All Heaven’s owner? So what if she’s better than me? I will still be the final winner, ME!”
“Yun Ruo Xi!” keeper Yellow couldn’t take this anymore either, his eyes showing great pain for seeing the true face of this witch. “For a millenium, we loved and cared for you with all we had, how can you say such disgusting and grotesque things to us? Do you know how much we all lost, no… the world lost because of you?”
They may hate this witch after learning the truth, but thy truly did love her like their own child back then. There’s no lie in that part.
But that heartfelt outburst only made Yun Ruo Xi laugh even harder like her stomach’s about to burst: “Love me? If you had known I wasn’t All Heaven’s owner then would you have treated me like you did, well?”
“We would never mistreat those of the Celestial Palace, regardless of their status or background.” One of the Keepers defensively cuts in.
“Haha!” Almost hysterical in her voice now, “So why did you give me up as soon as you knew I wasn’t All Heaven’s owner then? Not one of you tried to save me that day outside the city, not one! Now you hypocrites dare to lecture me by saying your emotions are true? Which part of me is inferior to Bai Yan aside from having poorer luck than her? If I hadn’t framed her about being the destroyer then would you have removed her for me?”
Keeper Zun’s figure visibly shook as his heart trembled: “So it’s you who spread that rumor? You would rather destroy this world just to satiate your own selfish greed?”
All they knew was Yun Ruo Xi pretended to be the crescent moon amulet’s owner, nothing about her spreading rumors about Bai Yan being the destroyer. They actually thought the rumor came from somewher else entirely and didn’t connect this point.
“Humph, she deserved every bit of what she got. I am clearly the more sensible one in the Celestial Palace, yet you all only had an eye for her. Not only did the old coot favor her over me, that old bastard also refused to take me as his apprentice, yet you all claim to be good to me anyways?”
