Chapter 1616
Heartache (6)


Disappear from thin air?
Rubbing her chin, Bai Yan’s eyes began to gleam with thought,
It’s not possible for her to do that, someone must’ve helped her somehow, and that individual must be extremely powerful. Perhaps… stronger than those from the Celestial Palace.

A bitter taste filled the old demon’s tongue at the idea:
My Queen, this matter is our fault, if we had slain that Yun Ruo that day then she never would’ve been able to escape to continue scourging our world.


Elder, the blame is not yours to bear,
she says while shaking the head,
after all, you didn’t know someone would try to save her. What’s more, if someone that powerful is willing to move on her behalf then you’re powerless to stop them anyways. You’re not their opponent. I’m just curious as to why they aren’t moving more openly and remains in the shadow….

The elder’s heart literally skipped a beat:
What you’re saying is… the one who did it is a Divine Lord? Someone that’s capable of tearing a piece of the world and making it his own?

Unlike Demi Divine Lords who have barely scraped at the surface of what the physical law of the world has to offer, a Divine Lord was someone that’s truly grasped onto the world. They’re capable of tearing through space itself and ruling over a pocket dimension as their own, that’s what it means to advance further.

It should be.
Bai Yan nods and confirms the idea.
First Elder visibly gasped:
No wonder State Teacher told us not to pursue that Yun Ruo Xi for the time being, he likely saw this coming. But why did that person not face us in person if he’s that capable?

Someone that powerful shouldn’t need to hide in the shadows, nor would we be able to capture that Yun Ruo Xi from the very start if he came forward. None of this is making sense…

I will discuss the issue with Di Cang when he wakes up again. Whoever they are, or whatever they are, they’re bound to face us eventually. We must be prepared for that day when it comes.

If such enemy does appear, they would be the strongest they faced thus far.

I understand,
nodded the elder,
Queen, the little princess and prince are still here in the Celestial Realm, should we go meet with them?


Mmmm, you are right, we should go meet with them later. Ling Yan and Jin Tian must be missing me a lot, I bet they are already crying their noses out by this point.

At the mention of her precious twins, Bai Yan’s heart would immediately soften up; however, the second her sight glanced over Dragony’s body, the fire within would immediately burst forward again and caused her to rage.

Dragony, come with me, we will go to the Celestial Palace and settle your debt.


Okay!
Dragony obediently answers, her attitude like a good little child that could do no wrong.

Your eyes…
It’s only then does the demon queen notice her goddaughter’s iris, they’re of a different shade carrying a spooky and fearful glint. Despite the dragoness’s attempt at hiding this fact, it’s too impactful.
Reaching up to touch her own eyelid, Dragony appears puzzled as well:
It’s been like this since I woke up again… Mother, are you going to dislike me because of this?

That question held so much nervous tension that everyone could hear it. She’s just too afraid of being rejected by her most precious mother that it hurts just listening to it, that’s how insecure the dragoness was inside.
