âPr-Princess,â Qing Luanâs voice was shaking feverously. Due to her own fear of facing the girl, that serpanty head of hers never once dared to look up, âI am the Lady of the Snake Clan, I beg you to save meâ¦.â
âNo, no, that canât be. I didnât hurt the little prince, thereâs no way His Majesty would kill me over a simple mortal woman.â
Donât assume Qing Luan would know everything about Bai Yan, she doesnât. All of her information was from hearsay and inquiry because she had never worked up the courage to confront the woman in person whenever Di Cang was around.
Besidesâ¦
Wouldnât it be a joke for a cruel and heartless man to be true to a woman?
As if a single mortal would be more important than the entire Snake Clan?
âPrincess,â seeing how thereâs further comment, Qing Luan assumed she must be right and softened that voice up, âWhat they say are all just rumors from the Demon Realm. Princess you mustnât be foolish enough to believe them. Iâm willing to bet itâs just the State Teacher that bastard trying to overthrow His Majestyâs rule by deliberately forging some lies to deceive us all.â
Popping her eyes, Di Xiao Wan was shocked by the snakeâs foolish remark, This damn Qing Luan actually dare to slander my State Teacher?
Even when sheâs saying this, Di Xiao Wanâs slender foot had already stomped down hard at the snakeâs wounded body as punishment.
Since the scales on Qing Luanâs whole body had already been mostly peeled off by Bai Yanâs scaling claws, one can only imagine the excruciating pain the she must be enduring right there at the extra stomp.
âYou kidnapped my nephew, bullied my nephew, and yelled at my State Teacher! Donât you know State Teacher can only be yelled at by me? Who do you think you are to defile his name?â As if the scolding and cursing wasnât enough, Di Xiao Wan suddenly made a grab for Bai Yanâs sword and stabbed down hard to get her point through: âNothing but a puny snake, you really think you are all that? When my brother comes back I will have him destroy the entire Snake Clan!â
Not to be outdone as per his lineage, Bai Xiachen also chimes in to add the oil to the fire: âAuntie, this snake just forced me to ingest her venom and wanted me to deny my relationship with my mother to admit Bai Ruo instead. If I refused, she threatened to kill me.â
âBitch, how dare you try to harm my nephew as a servant to my brother? What, do you intend to replace my nephew also when the timeâs right, or do you take my brother for a fool instead?â
Enraged once again, Di Xiao Wan slashes down twice again with the sword, causing the snake to lose even her last ounce of strength to scream. Even so, the resentment and unwillingness to accept fate had never once left Qing luanâs serpenty eyes.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Then without indication, a resounding chuckle suddenly seeps out of the snakeâs vocal cord like an eerie cry of madness.
âI, Qing Luanâ¦â Her voice may be rasp and hoarse like a whimper, but its clarity cannot be denied, âAt the cost of my soul, I call upon the ancestor of thy snakes.â
âSister-in-law,â even Di Xiao Wanâs complexion was growing green over this, âit is a secret art of our Demon Realm. This idiot is calling upon the snakeâs ancestor to us!â
Though this mystical art of summoning could ignore everything from dimensional seals and all, but the price was also extremely high to the user!
