“If there’s nothing else, you can go back now. Also, have Elder Cloudless come see me on your way out.”
“Yes, Monarch.” Making a small smile, Yun Ruo Xi happily retreated.
Shortly after she left, an old man wearing a gray ashen robe stepped through the door and arched his fist, “Monarch.”
When the man saw who has come, his expression finally lifted so slightly despite the gloom remaining on the surface: “Elder Cloudless, I called you because I wanted to ask you something. That Yun Ruo Xi, you are certain she’s the only one who can deal with Di Cang?”
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Demon Realm was thriving and overwhelmed humanity in its all, only that single woman could stand up and resist him….
Even though she ultimately failed to conquer the demons, she’s nevertheless made Di Cang show respect towards his foe.
I need her power, otherwise it will be impossible to compete with that bastard after he grows big enough.
“Monarch, I’ve calculated using my best capabilities already, there should be no mistake. I do not understand either on why such a magnificent woman like that would devolve into the way she is now…” Elder Cloudless also frowns, his voice breathing a helpless air since he didn’t understand either.
“If it’s not a mistake then I want you to keep a close watch on that Yun Ruo Xi. I can’t have her dying on me until I make full use of her. If she gets caught in the Celestial Realm, not even I can snatch her back from Di Cang’s watch.”
He only managed to break through all the watches of the Demon Realm thanks to Di Cang’s disappearance on Earth. There won’t be another chance like that again unless he personally go for the rescue, and that’s impossible since he couldn’t leave his own domain.
“I understand Monarch, I’ll see to it that Yun Ruo Xi doesn’t leave our watch again. Nothing will happen while under my protection.” Elder Cloudless slightly bowed to show he understood.
“Another thing, the woman I sent to the Demon Realm failed. She not only couldn’t steal the item I instructed, she also failed to kill Di Cang’s sister.” The man huffs a grunt in displeasure.
Naturally the woman he’s referring to would be the white fox saved by the demon princess. Just thinking of the failure and betrayal would leave a bad taste in this Monarch’s mouth. Fortunately not all was lost, Di Xiao Wan didn’t die, but that State Teacher guy did. Without a right arm to help Di Cang meant there’s less people around to investigate themselves.
Elder Cloudless only made a bittersweet smile at his lord’s report. He was against the idea of sending that stupid fox for the mission in the very beginning, and now it’s given the Demon Realm a warning as a wakeup call, meaning it wouldn’t be as easy from now on if they wish to attack. However displeased he might be inwardly, the old man knew he couldn’t say that aloud.
“Monarch, that won’t be an issue. The Demon Realm won’t be able to turn waves the way they are right now, nor would they be able to attack us here in this domain.”
Bang!
Without indication, the man swiped everything off the table and shattered the cups near himself, that voice raging: “Elder Cloudless, what do you mean by that? Are you implying I’m afraid of Di Cang? If he comes then I will make sure he never leaves my domain alive!”
The mouth of the elder twitched at that outburst but didn’t say more. He’s been with the guy for a very long time, he knows all too well about the man’s temper and how easily irritated he could get.
“Of course Monarch, the Demon Realm is not your opponent. Di Cang will always be a loser before yourself!”
