That useless Qing Luan, if she wants to be the queen than it canât be so blatant. Fortunately, our snake clan still have Qing Xue. If she can escape this calamity then the position will definitely be hers in the future!
Qing Feng was ready to refute the ancestral snake again when a flustered voice from the outside interrupted him: âChief, this is not good! Its His Majesty! Heâs demanding your presence and is ordering you to crawl over to him!â
What?
The middle-aged man shuddered at the news.
It canât be, Ancestor is right and intends to wipe out our entire snake clan?
âYou go ahead.â The old ancestral snake bitterly smiles: âI fear I canât even move my body anymore in my current state. Whatever is to come, you must handle it in my stead now Qing Feng.â
âYes, Ancestor.â Closing his eyes, the man bows his head in compliance before turning away for the door.
â¦â¦
The main lobby of the Snake Clanâs home.
Qing Feng had just stepped into the hall when he was immediately confronted with the peerless contour of the mentioned man.
âSire.â Trembling all over, the snakish individual hurries to scurry forward with no way to speak. Against that presence, all his excuses and words were lost in that instant.
âYou snakes are really bold you know, daring to touch my wife and child even.â The cruel and bloodthirsty light beams out of Di Cangâs eyes as he spoke, âOr have the years of peace completely muddled the snakesâ awareness?â
The original snake family here was no more than slaves working under the protection of the Demon Realm, the lowest of the low. In fact, most of the other racial clans were free to give them a few kicks whenever they pleased, thatâs how low they were and how powerful the old clans were. For example, the dragon and phoenix race alone were enough to make the snake clan cry for mercy.
âSire, this is entirely the fault of Qing Luan. She has already paid the price!â Clearly trembling in that voice, Qing Feng wanted to pray for some kind of help right now. âPlease have mercy on our clan. I promise none of our members would ever do something so foolish again like going after the position of being the queen.â
Di Cang only sneered at that lie: âAs if a simple Qing Luan would have the courage to do what she did. Donât think I wouldnât know. Iâm perfectly aware of your entire clanâs scheme by this point, including many others as well.â
Qing Feng was stiff as a rock over the last part. Why is His Majesty so heartless? Its common for a man to have multiple wives in this day and age, whatâs wrong with us wanting to send a member of our clan to his side?
âSomeone come!â Expressionless and unreadable, Di Cang coldly calls out to his minions.
âSire, please give your command.â The leader of the group that came with him promptly answered.
âThe snakes dare to scheme against the royal family! The crime is treason and shall be punished with death! None is to live today!â
None is to live today!
That look, that tone, itâs so cold and heartless that itâs like the entire clan of snakes in the Demon Realm were dispensable extras. But in truth, theyâre not and would greatly cause a hurdle to his grand plan of invading the Celestial Realm.
Even soâ¦
Their behavior has completely violated his bottom line, a step that never shouldâve been taken!
âSire!â Qing Feng slams to the ground in a begging posture: âPlease have mercy! Attacking the Celestial Realm requires a lot of manpower and the forces must be in great shortage. Our snakes will definitely be useful in your great plan, please forgive us this time and allow us to make amends!â
