Without uttering a word as a stream of salty fluid trickled down onto her mouth from above, the demon queen gradually locks onto the mentioned old bastard after making sure this was real.
“Did you hurt my Ling Yan?” She asks with the most menacing glare.
Gu Lao didn’t get frightened by that eerie glare though. Sneering in his voice: “That’s right.”
“Why?”
My Ling Yan did nothing, why hurt her?
“I’ve already explained this to Elder Butterfly before and I have no reason for it aside from that she doesn’t deserve to live.” Holding himself high and mighty, Gu Lao doesn’t even flinch when spouting that crap.
This girl is just someone who wants to climb up to the monarch’s bed, why should I be afraid of anything?
Loosening her protective grip around Ling Yan’s body, Bai Yan suddenly bursts out laughing. It grew wilder and wilder until her very voice echoed across the entire valley, sending all of the nearby critters fleeing due to the creepiness.
“Good! What a good way of saying one doesn’t deserve to live!” Bai Yan’s eyes pinned onto the old bastard as she began to trudge forward at him in a very scary manner, “Since you are willing to spout such things then I’m sure you won’t mind paying the price for your own words.”
“And you think you can make me pay by yourself?” Gu Lao grew derisive in his smirk, dismissing any possibility of this woman being a threat.
“That’s right, by myself!” Bai Yan’s voice now sounded chilling to the bone.
However, before either party could make a move against one another, another third voice that was harsh and cold cuts in from the front. “Who did you say doesn’t deserve to live?”
Without a question, this voice was all too familiar to everyone present so they didn’t require a single moment to recognize it.
Gu Lao’s body froze as a result. Stiffly swinging his head at the source, that old figure started to shake as his vision landed on the sword like man casting his shadow over the group from the sky.
He-he’s back….
Gu Lao’s eyes shrank once he took a better glance and realized there’s another woman standing beside the monarch.
That woman… isn’t that Mrs. Di’s mother? Why is she with the monarch?
“Monarch!” Butterfly became ecstatic at the sight of her liege returning. Her mood’s been thrown up and down lately so it’s taking a heavy toll on this female elder who nearly died today.
The monarch is back…
He’s finally back!
That’s great……
With His Monarchness here, Gu Lao won’t be able to make waves anymore, and Miss Ling Yan is safe now.
Perhaps it’s the easing of her tenseness coming too abruptly, but Butterfly’s legs quickly gave way once she got those thoughts into her head. Without much of a struggle, the woman collapsed to the ground and started to laugh hysterically.
“Grandpapa!” Ling Yan’s eyes got all teary and red once she recognized who has come. However, the pipsqueak did not let those tears roll due to her own stubbornness. She wants to appear strong before Bai Yan.
“You’re back…”
Seeing that Ling Yan’s clothes were covered in blood, Heavenly’s mood didn’t fare so well despite the welcoming words.
“You hurt Ling Yan?” The grandfather turns to the old bastard and asks after getting a grasp of the situation.
Looking ugly in his face, Gu Lao grinds his teethes in frustration: “Monarch, I only….”
“Grandma!” Before that reply could be finished, Di Ling Yan had broken free from her own mother’s hold and quickly ran for the two newcomers spot after they landed.
Bai Ning’s heart almost stopped beating there once she saw the blood ridden clothes on the child. Without fail, the grandmother also ran forward and caught that tiny body.
“Quick Ling Yan, show me where you’re hurt. Grandmother here will have a look.”
Giggling as she shook her little head: “It’s okay Grandmother, I’m fine. The wounds have already healed….”
