Now I can catch up to His Majesty and not let him tackle the danger alone, Fire Plume exhales a sigh of relief at this thought.
However, as soon as the red-haired man disappeared from the spot, the innocent and naive look of the lady was nowhere to be seen anymore, replaced only by the look of a gloomy and sharp figure.
âWhy are you doing this?â A low voice rang out from behind, causing Qing Xueâs brow to wrinkle up.
âWhat are you doing out here? Arenât you afraid of State Teacher discovering you?â The woman snaps back with her own retort.
Twitching over that comment, the man steels himself despite the unease he felt: âHe is currently in closed-door training, he wonât know about my departure. But thatâs not the point. Answer me first, why are you doing this?â
Qing Xue just scoffed off the interrogating tone and slowly turned around to confront that ordinary looking face. Thatâs right, the one back at the cave with his face perennially shrouded in fog was no more than an ordinary looking foe with no special features.
I really donât know why State Teacher would choose a person like this to become the substitute of the king. How can he be compared with His Majestyâs handsome beauty?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou still havenât helped me yet, thatâs why I have to take actions into my own hands. Thank goodness His Majesty is gone right now.â Grinning with a slight contempt in her lips, Qing Xueâs word had a mocking tone to it.
The man frowned: âYou should be glad General Fire Plume is not originally from the Demon Realm, otherwise he wouldâve definitely recognized the fact that you are impersonating that familyâs lady.â
âDonât treat me as a fool, I know what Iâm doing, everything is within my grasp alright.â Chuckling in a narcissistic manner, âThen again, I didnât expect my plan to work out so perfectly. Good thing Iâm aware of that Fire Plume being unfamiliar with the Fox Clanâs big lady. If not for that reason, do you think I would still try to impersonate her?â
The Demon race never uses the face to recognize oneâs identity because its far too easy to impersonate, hence the heavy reliance on scent.
âDonât forget, I am also a fox.â The manâs complexion didnât look so well after hearing the snake woman had skinned one of his clansmen.
âChe~â Qing Xue scoffs off the comment, âYes, you used to be a fox, but only a prisoner I might reminder you. I didnât expect you to be so fond of your ancestry after how cold theyâve treated you over the years. Just a reminder, none of the members in the fox family cares about youâ¦â
âAnd, the reason why I pretended to be a fox is because Sire holds great faith in his own kind. The same is true of those around him. If not for that reason, I wouldâve impersonated the other races instead.â
âThen what are you planning to do next?â The manâs tone carried a hinge of frustration.
Holding her step at that question, Qing Xue turns around to stare straight into her accompliceâs eye: âThe coronation ceremony is already over yet you remain indifferent and unwilling to help me. Just so you know, I will never give up on that man so I can only do this myself!â
Though blind and one-sided, the snakeâs love for Di Cang have already grown to the level where its part of her flesh and bone. Thereâs no turning back, even if it means crossing the lines of no return.
â¦â¦
The news of Di Cangâs departure naturally remains unknown to Bai Yan due to the outside interreference.
As such, half a month had transpired without a single word from either end, that was until a loud explosive bang shook the skies todayâ¦.
