Perhaps its out of excessive excitement, the shadowing figure ended up shaking profusely.
âQueen, I havenât tried to harm you yet and youâre doing it perfectly well on your own!â Smirking hard, Jun Ruqing wanted to jump with joy at this moment. âNO! This wonât do, I must tell Godfather about her entry into the Demon Mountain. Having her end like this is too easy, she must bear the bad name of the world before she dies!â
Giving one final look at the direction in which Bai Yan went, this vicious fox woman immediately turned away from where she came.
â¦â¦
In the elder councilâs residence, the members of this ancient order were in the middle of meditation when the door to their home was pushed open, followed swiftly by a panicking voice.
âGodfather, not good, not good at all!!â
âWhat happened Ruqing?â The First Elder slightly wrinkles his forehead after seeing who it was.
âI⦠I just saw a person enter the Demon Mountain.â
What?
The First Elder promptly jerked up, his breathing fierce and rough: âYou said someone went to the Demon Mountain? Who is so bold? The one in the Demon Mountain is not to be trifled with and she will only listen to the King. Even on many occasions she would ignore the Princess, let alone everyone elseâ¦â
âI, I donât knowâ¦â Biting that lip, the fox woman then allows her body to shake like that of someone in fear: âI donât know that woman, but I advised her, she saidâ¦â
âWhat did she say?â The First Elder openly frowns.
A woman that Jun Ruqing doesnât know? Who could it be?
âShe said⦠the purpose of her sneaking into the Demon Realm is to get some kind of treasure from the Demon Mountain. I have already told her the danger of that place but she insisted on entering. Godfather, what should we do?â Letting a layer of water to fill those eyes: âI donât want unnecessary sacrifice, even if she did come with ulterior motives.â
Itâs rumored that the one occupying the Demon Mountain for all these eons was to protect a certain treasure. Therefore, Jun Ruqing had a certain level of confidence to her excuse.
âAre you sure you donât know who the woman is that went into the Demon Mountain?â The elders present were all making a sinking expression by this point.
âGodfather, I really donât know, I have never seen herâ¦â Tears of grievance quickly fell out of Jun Ruqingâs eye, âIf we go save her now, maybe, just maybe she can still survive.â
The First Elderâs gaze sank even further until its as dark as night: âGo inform the rest of the elders, weâre going to the Demon Mountain this instant!â
âYes, Godfather.â Hanging her head with that shaking body, her appearance was that of someone feeling guilt and sadness for the victim. However, if one had taken a closer look, they would notice that sly grin of an evil villain underneath.
So what if you are the queen? The crime of stealing the treasures of the Demon Realm is so grave that even His Majesty wonât be able to protect you because none of the elders would let this slide. Moreover, those who trespass into the Demon Mountain will always anger that person whom resides there. Whether you can live to come back out is not even a certainty at this pointâ¦
â¦â¦
Within the Demon Mountain, Bai Yan was currently feeling absolutely refreshed under the glowing white light given off by the terrain. Itâs something she never experienced before.
âMother, this place is not only rich in spiritual energy, even the spring water is extraordinarily sweet.â All sweet and happy, Bai Xiachen raises a smile as he tells his opinion: âI like this mountain.â
Bai Yan did answer back, only keeping her eyes always on a vigilance stance as she looked around. How can this place be only rich in spiritual energy? Just by walking around, thereâs already several scarce medicine herbs littered around the ground.
