âOkay.â
Boom!
Lifting the girl up with his arms in one full swing, Bai Xiachen thrusts every inch of his strength so that the girl would gain the greatest momentum in the air. And sure enough, Dragonyâs body was able to pick up great speed after transforming back to her dragon form and disappearing off into the darkness like a lightning streak.
Yun Ruo Xi knew the kids were up to something even before they acted, but she didnât care either way. The target right now was the crazy old coot and this bratty boy. As for the fleeing little missy, she could always finish the job at a later date if she wishes.
âWhat are you going to do with us?â Bai Xiachen asks with a relieved heart since heâs done with what he wanted to do. Even if things turn out badly, he at least knows Dragony was safe and that made him proud of himself.
Clicking her tongue in a taunting manner: âYou want to stall for time and wait for reinforcements, am I right? If I am not mistaken, that dragon is heading for the Demon City for help? Too bad, those demons canât even protect themselves at this moment, let alone come to your rescue.â
Too bad, those demons canât even protect themselvesâ¦.
Those words made the boy freeze up because he didnât expect to hear that: âWhat did you just say?â
âBoy, it seems your ears are deaf as well so I will repeat myself. Those in the Demon City are wiped out, Iâve sent the Monarchs out to attack them already and have personally seen the destruction they brought. I can say for certain none of the demons there are alive at this point!â
The part about sending the Monarchs are true, thereâs no lie in that bit, but the nonsense about everyone being dead was obviously a bluff. However, that doesnât mean it wonât have an effect on the boy who didnât know.
I can say for certain none of the demons there are alive at this point!
No one is aliveâ¦.
âNo!â
A blaze of red shoots out of the little steambunâs eyes, rage storming out and blowing the greenery to shreds from his incredible burst of power. Due to this, the old coot was also freed from the tree after being felled by the shockwave, just that the rope remains tied to his body and forcing him to jump around in order to find a place to hide.
âOh my mama, is he crazy?â Laughing hysterically, the old coot was rather enjoying himself right now. âIf Iâm a crazy old coot then heâs a crazy young coot, fun, so fun, hahahaha.â
A blood red hue has now overtaken the boyâs existence and his expression were bone numbingly cold when speaking: âYou killed my mother? The ones who killed my mother all deserve to die!â
Every step he took now brought fear to all those in his path, which it so happens to be Yun Ruo Xi and her maid who had scurried out of hiding due to the shockwave.
âThis⦠whatâs going on here? This kid, heâs also a demon?â
Whatâs more, his power is so immense!
âMi-Miss⦠letâs run away.â Xiao Qing nervously suggests from the side.
Unlike what Yun Ruo Xi wanted the public to think, sheâs in fact quite weak for her age considering everything. Itâs not that the lady was lazy and refuses to cultivate, rather its due to an incident way back which caused the woman to lose the ability to gather the energy of this world in her meridian. If not for a prophecy made by a certain individual back then about the one wearing the crescent moon amulet being the savior of this world, the Keepers wouldâve long abandoned Yun Ruo Xi. They believe she would one day recover and be able to grow again, hence her great treatment for all these years.
âRun away?â she sneers at her servantâs idea, âwhy should I run? Even if Iâm not able to grow my powers it doesnât mean Iâm going to allow myself to be bossed around by some brat whoâs barely weened from his motherâs tits!â
