âOh, I know.â
As a result of that mild and indifferent way of answering from Bai Yan, Jun Ruqingâs last tinge of contempt was lost. Right now, thereâs only incredulous and disbelief in that face.
Is the Queen that stupid? Godfatherâs words are obviously there to deceive her, why would she believe that nonsense?
The other elders also exchanged looks of oddity for they didnât expect such shameless words either from their leader. Furthermore, they never thought the Queen to believe it too!
âJun Ruqing,â the First Elder got sharp in his tone like a sword slicing down, âit seems Iâve been too indulgent of you over the years, letting you forget your own status! Her Highness is not someone you can slander.â
This point immediately sent the fox woman into a terrible shake. Indeed, the matter of her identity was a big sore spot in her mind. Take Huang Xiao Ying for example. Thereâs been multiple occasions where she wouldâve liked to be in the same situation, make plenty of trouble and still have her old man clean up the mess.
But she couldnât!
Sheâs only a daughter of a small little general that perished. By coincidence and by fate, she was then accepted as the goddaughter of the First Elder due to her cleverness and ability to please.
âHaHaâ¦â¦â Out of the blue, Jun Ruqing just laughed and made the most painful face anyone has ever seen her made: âIf my identity is not worthy, then what about hers?â
Pointing straight to Bai Yan with that accusing finger, her actions were damning and caused her godfather to turn green.
âYouâ¦â But before the old man could explode again, the moment was cut short by a female call of a bird from within the mountain valley.
This absolutely delighted the fox woman till sheâs openly laughing in a maniacal manner. âDo you all hear that? Thatâs Lady Suzakuâs bird call! This woman is doomed for stealing from the Demon Mountain. Thereâs no way she would let this person leave even if she is the queen.â
Suzaku has killed every female who tried to seduce the king that came here, thereâs no way this would be any different!
From within the void, an enraged and rumbling voice quickly drifted over, causing everyoneâs heart to go numb from fright.
âWho? Who is coming to my Demon Mountain to make trouble? They are asking for death!â
It was so hard to be reunited with the Queen, how dare they come and interrupt our great reunion?!
Itâs just thatâ¦â¦
When Suzaku swept her sharp gaze across the field in this valley, her face quickly caught sight of the target of her fealty, which also causes her to become doubtful and confused.
Does this group know the Queen? If so, touching them wonât be so good thenâ¦.
âLady Suzaku!â Jun Ruqing cries out, her eyes showing joy after seeing the eldersâ ghastly expression. âYou are finally here! This woman not only came to steal from the Demon Mountain, she is also delusional enough to want to become the Queen of the Demon Realm. Please punish her!â
The Vermillion Bird just gawked like her brain just went poof.
What⦠What???
Queen have always been the mistress of this realm, what delusion and want?
Clearly a thousand years of experience hasnât prepared Suzaku for this level of stupidity.
âRuqing, if you be good and walk away with me now, I can still save you out of consideration for our bond through the years. But if you continue to tarnish the Queenâs name then donât blame me for being cold and not helping you. Whatever comes next is your own doing.â No matter how disappointed he was of this fox woman, the First Elder still wanted to give her a final chance to save herself from utter destruction.
âGodfather, I donât know what you are talking about.â Flickering a vicious light in her eyes, Jun Ruqing didnât give a hoot and presses on with her nonsense. âEveryone knows Lady Suzaku is in love with His Majesty. Now that someone is trying to steal the Queenâs throne, its only to be expected that her ladyship would be enraged.â
