I want those people to be buried alive and burned in hell as an apology to my Frost’er!
The ever-burning hatred in the man’s eyes glowed through that iris, causing him to manifest an ominous aura that sent chills down to anyone unfortunate enough to draw close.
“Your Monarchness,” a voice suddenly came from the outside and interrupted his train of thought, “Miss Ruo Xi is back. Do you wish to meet her?”
Dust huffs a cold grunt before replying: “Let her in.”
“As you wish Milord.” The sound outside the study disappeared, followed by the sound of light footsteps quickly drawing closer.
To speak the truth, Monarch Dust had to admit this Yun Ruo Xi was quite the beauty after her scars were healed. This only reinforced his opinion upon seeing the woman again after she pushed open the door and walked inside his study. However, it doesn’t mean she’s the most beautiful female he’d ever seen, it’s only average compared to the ones in his harem.
“What’s the matter?” Dust’s voice sounded unsympathetic.
Towards that cold indifference, Yun Ruo Xi had become accustomed to this and didn’t appear fazed by the attitude. After all, this man treated everyone the same way, including those concubines inside the harem.
“Monarch Dust, I went to the Heavenly Domain.” Making a faint giggle, this old witch plays the delicate fair maiden card despite her age.
Holding back his inner disgust, “And then?”
“By coincidence, I encountered my greatest nemesis there. I saw Bai Yan, the Queen of the Demon Realm.”
In that moment, Dust’s usual cold indifference vanished and was replaced by a tense harshness as he stood up: “Who did you say you saw? The demon queen?!”
“Yes, I saw her, and… she’s Monarch Heavenly Flame’s very own daughter.” Yun Ruo Xi didn’t expect such a strong reaction so her confidence diminished significantly there.
“I knew before that Di Cang had married a human woman….” His focus locks onto the old witch like he’s ready to pounce, “What else do you know about that woman? What type of person is this demon queen? Is she like Di Cang or the opposite? I want to know everything.”
Taken aback there by the endless demands, Yun Ruo Xi got all quiet to collect herself. “Bai Yan… is a beautiful woman.”
She may not like to admit it, but Yun Ruo Xi had to concede that her rival was at a different level to her own beauty.
“Beautiful?” Dust snickers with disdain at the very notion, “Di Cang is not someone that cares about one’s appearance. Even Frost’er’s beauty cannot captivate him, what other woman can….”
Frost’er?
Being a sensitive and insecure female, Yun Ruo Xi immediately focused in on that word and started making connections. Dust and Frost, so that’s how it is… But what kind of relationship does this woman have with the monarch?
“I don’t know much about Bai Yan, but her character is more on the nasty side. Even back when I was on good terms with her, I would reframe from interacting with her…” The old witch bites down on the lip to make a sad face, “And, I know Bai Yan has a lot of men circling around herself at all times. She doesn’t have any female friends that’s why. If I had to speculate, it’s likely due to her using her own body to seduce the opposite sex considering the sort of personality she has.”
Monarch Dust’s narrows in his eyes to reveal an inspecting light from within.
Out of reflex, Yun Ruo Xi subconsciously took a step back under that piercing gaze. She didn’t want to say anything good or bad about Bai Yan right now out of fear for raising attention to her rival’s existence. However, it appears her plan had derailed for even a slight mention of Bai Yan being a flirt had backfired.
