Qing Xue was absolutely shocked by the news. Growing anxious in her voice: âHow can you expose yourself! If you are gone then who is going to help me in the future?â
âI have no other choice either. The queen is extremely intelligent, thatâs why I lured the second elder out to fool her that night. If things continue as is, State Teacher would surely discover what I did after he comes out.â The man bitterly laughs at himself, frustrated as well by the situation.
He knows that thereâs no way for him to escape death, but even so, a few days was still a few days, its better than nothingâ¦.
âSecond Elder?â Qing Xueâs expression appeared unhappy, âI remember the one with the highest position is First Elder, why didnât you look for him instead?â
âYou donât understand Qing Xue,â the man shakes his head to shut the idea down. âFirst Elder is someone that has been around before the Demon Realm was sealed. He knows far too many things. If it was him that night, I know he wouldâve seen through meâ¦.â
Biting her lip, a venomous light flare out of the snakeâs eye: âI donât care, you must help me! I want that human woman dead!â
âQing Xue!â The demand angered the man and caused him to shout back: âDo you understand what you are talking about? That woman you keep mentioning is the queen, the QUEEN!â
âI said it already, she is not the QUEEN, I AM!â Her complexion grew frostily cold at the rebuttal, âI will have her dead before I am through with her! In this world there can only be one Queen, and that is I, Qing Xue! That human stole my status and destroyed my clan, for that she must die!â At this moment, the enraged anger has caused the demonessâs eye to go bloodshot, indicating how poisonous her heart truly was.
Staring blankly at that distorted expression, the man stammers in horror at what has become of his love interest. âYouâve changed Qing Xue. In order to take the title as Queen, youâve changed. You werenât like this beforeâ¦â
âYou have to help me, only you can help me in this world!â In light of her further attempt to hide that darkness in those eyes, Qing Xueâs soft voice not only didnât help, it only made her twisted appearance even worse. âWill you help me? This is for the sake of our friendship.â
Closing his eyes at that plead, the man makes one final smile of bitter sadness: âFine, I will help you for one last timeâ¦â
âRemember, we must finish off that little rabbit as well as the woman. I absolutely refuse to believe the rumors circulating in the air. What only she can give birth to the kingâs child, I can do it better and more!â Smirking in a shady fashion, this demoness didnât even try to hide her cruel nature at all by this point. âThatâs right, I remember the palace has a bunch of powerful shadow guards, correct?â
This time the manâs expression was starting to turn ugly as well. He knows, if he returns to the palace again then the chances of his escape would diminish immeasurably.
âQing Xue, I wonât ask for much, just that you would remember me in the future if I were to die from this.â
âDo not worry you silly. Youâve helped me so much, of course I would remember you.â Despite the soft comforting tone this snake used, her heart only sneered with contempt at the other side.
HA! This idiot is so stupid, as if I would remember anyone but the king. Look at him, plain and ordinary, a disgrace of a man. If he wasnât still useful then I wouldnât even approach him.
Being the gullible fool that he was, the manâs face grew firm at that affirmation: âOkay, I will help you.â
As long as she can remember me then what else do I need? A person like me who can never see the light of day has no future. Even if its just in memory, its enoughâ¦.
â¦â¦
Border of the Demon Realm.
âI will give you all another chance. Surrender or face a fate more miserable than death.â Standing in the air with his dashing purple robe and silvery hair, the man remains as domineering and surreal as ever.
