âDi Cang, what information did he spill? Let me hear it.â Bai Yan frowns and continues to ask.
âDo you recognize the Monarch Dust from the Dust Frost Domain?â The man answers with a question of his own.
Narrowing her eyes in at that detail, the demon queen could already guess where this conversation was leading: âThat day during the attack on the Heavenly Flame Domain, there were a lot of people so I donât know if they came as well. Is the matter related to place?â
âYes, the man confessed that he was sent by the Monarch Dust to steal something from the Demon Realm. That thing is a red bead so I suspect the death of State Teacher is related to these people from the Dust Frost Domain.â
A red bead?
Bai Yan blinked and thought back to examining her daughterâs body and that beady little object placed near her heart.
But before the woman could exclaim due to this connection, the door to the bed chamber was once again shoved open.
Standing at the doorway was Di Xiao Wan the demon princess. Her beautiful face was not elegant nor kind, but a burning rage of hatred.
âYou hear everything?â Di Cang didnât need to guess why his sister was so upset.
Truth was he knew the girl was eavesdropping the entire time but didnât stop it. After all, she had the right to know since State Teacher did die because of those people. Sheâs entitled to know who the murderer was.
âBrother, so the one who caused State Teacherâs death is that Monarch Dust, you certain?â Clenching her fist, Di Xiao Wan was trembling all over due to the intense emotion swelling forward.
Monarch Dust!
Reciting that name, the princessâs eyes got all red and frightening.
Despite being able to come out of the pain of loss in recent days, the ache remains and so does the hatred. She merely hid it inside not to worry the little ones. But make no mistake. If given the opportunity, this girl would crush the ones responsible for her manâs death, thatâs a given!
âWith your current strength, donât mention revenge, anyone those domains can destroy you. Donât forget, your powers are mostly gone after you marked State Teacher with your beast pearl. How do you expect to avenge him in your current state?â
That cruel smash of reality caused the princess to freeze.
Slowly closing her eyes, Di Xiao Wan couldnât deny what her brother was saying. Nevertheless, the determination wonât be stopped in those eyes of hers.
âBrother, I must avenge him. No matter the price, I will do it!â
The departure of State Teacher had forced this lady who only knows how to hide behind her older brother and State Teacher to grow up overnight. Sheâs responsible and no longer the sweet dumbaclutz that would easily trust anyone that comes her way.
But the cost was her innocence, her purityâ¦.
Watching this unfamiliar version of her friend, Bai Yan felt uncomfortably sour inside at what had become of this sweet girl. âXiao Wan, can you leave this matter to us, okay?â
Her tone was unusually gentle. âBelieve in us, we will certainly avenge State Teacher and help you find his reincarnation.â
Pursing her lips into a thin line, Di Xiao Wan looks towards the demon queen with those tears-ridden eyes: âSister-in-law, I also want to help. I know my enemies are mighty, but I am not afraid. I donât want to simply do nothing.â
