Chapter 573 “Guest of the Demon Mountain (5)”
“Oh, I know.”
As a result of that mild and indifferent way of answering from Bai Yan, Jun Ruqing’s last tinge of contempt was lost. Right now, there’s only incredulous and disbelief in that face.
Is the Queen that stupid? Godfather’s words are obviously there to deceive her, why would she believe that nonsense?
The other elders also exchanged looks of oddity for they didn’t expect such shameless words either from their leader. Furthermore, they never thought the Queen to believe it too!
“Jun Ruqing,” the First Elder got sharp in his tone like a sword slicing down, “it seems I’ve been too indulgent of you over the years, letting you forget your own status! Her Highness is not someone you can slander.”
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. There’s been multiple occasions where she would’ve liked to be in the same situation, make plenty of trouble and still have her old man clean up the mess.
But she couldn’t!
She’s 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.
“HaHa……” Out of the blue, Jun Ruqing just laughed and made the most painful face anyone has ever seen her made: “If my identity is not worthy, then what about hers?”
Pointing straight to Bai Yan with that accusing finger, her actions were damning and caused her godfather to turn green.
“You…” 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 she’s openly laughing in a maniacal manner. “Do you all hear that? That’s Lady Suzaku’s bird call! This woman is doomed for stealing from the Demon Mountain. There’s no way she would let this person leave even if she is the queen.”
Suzaku has killed every female who tried to seduce the king that came here, there’s no way this would be any different!
From within the void, an enraged and rumbling voice quickly drifted over, causing everyone’s heart to go numb from fright.
“Who? Who is coming to my Demon Mountain to make trouble? They are asking for death!”
It was so hard to be reunited with the Queen, how dare they come and interrupt our great reunion?!
It’s just that……
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 won’t be so good then….
“Lady Suzaku!” Jun Ruqing cries out, her eyes showing joy after seeing the elders’ ghastly expression. “You 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!”
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 hasn’t prepared Suzaku for this level of stupidity.
“Ruqing, 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 Queen’s name then don’t blame me for being cold and not helping you. Whatever comes next is your own doing.” 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.
“Godfather, I don’t know what you are talking about.” Flickering a vicious light in her eyes, Jun Ruqing didn’t give a hoot and presses on with her nonsense. “Everyone knows Lady Suzaku is in love with His Majesty. Now that someone is trying to steal the Queen’s throne, its only to be expected that her ladyship would be enraged.”
