Chapter 1290 “One Year Later (4)”
A visible tremble could be visibly seen across the lady’s face. Back then Chu Yi G.o.d would give up Bai Yan for the sake of the Celestial Realm, perhaps he would do the same and marry her if she helps save this world?
“Revered Keepers, I will not cower or hide for the sake of this world.” As long as she could marry Chu Yi G.o.d before the calamity strikes, then even if it’s only for a single night, she won’t regret it….
After dropping those words, Yun Rou Xi didn’t wait and resigned herself for what’s to come. Leaving the room, the lady didn’t forget to close the door behind herself on this occasion.
Meanwhile back in the conference hall, the air has become eerily quiet again until Keeper Ling broke the silence. “Everyone, our feud with the Demon Realm is unending, so, having us go bargain for the deal is out of the question. I know only two who can handle such a task.”
“Who?”
“The Celestial Lord! That la.s.s came to the Celestial Palace since she was young and grew up under the care of the Lord. If we have him go then it will be a huge boon. The second is that crazy old coot, we can use him as well.”
Grumbling in his voice, Keeper Zun clearly didn’t believe this would work based on his expression: “And how do you expect us to persuade that old coot to do as we say? Don’t think just because he’s all crazy nowadays that he will do as we instruct, he understands a lot more then he lets on. Back then we only managed to go after that girl because we tricked him to go off somewhere, otherwise the plan would’ve died in its infancy if he had found out.”
Sure enough, Keeper Ling didn’t refute that claim and became quiet for a while. “Then we have no choice but to rely on the Lord. He cares about the Celestial Realm so he’s our greatest candidate. Moreover, I know he still misses the la.s.s from the hearts down. If we promise him to allow his marriage with Bai Yan then I’m sure he will do as we say.”
“This…” Keeper Zun actually became loss for words.
Doesn’t he hate the girl to the bone? Why would he give such a commitment?
Keeper Ling obviously noticed the suspicious gaze coming his way. Smiling shadily: “I’m only tricking the Lord. Once the calamity is over, I won’t let a single one from the Demon Realm go!”
Rising from his chair, Keeper Zun sighs and showed a bittersweet smile on his face: “Then I will go ahead and try to contact the Lord.”
For the sake of the big picture, we have no choice but to do this. Let’s just hope that girl doesn’t hate us anymore so we can do this without incident.
……
Time flowed like water for Bai Yan who had been on this Sky Mountain for well over a year by this point. She’s grown much stronger since then, but despite hitting the peak of the Middle Divine stage, she’s now at a bottleneck and couldn’t progress any further.
“Mother, Mother, Second Brother is picking on me again.” Right as Bai Yan’s about to take a break, a cuddly and babyish voice calls out to her from the front.
This child had a very tender face like a little peach, but those eyes were gorgeous and watery. Though her footwork left a lot to be desired still because of how unsteady she was walking, one could nevertheless tell she would one day grow up to be a fine beauty.
Reaching down to pick up the precious little girl, she pinches that nose as a form of play: “And how did your second brother pick on you this time?”
“The fruits picked by little foxy has been taken by him. I also want to eat the sour and sweet fruits.”
Even though Di Ling Yan (girl) was about to become two years old at the end of this year, she’s nevertheless still a child so it’s normal for her to act like a baby. However, her words are already very mature and could hold proper conversations due to her royal lineage.
