Chapter 1959 “Encounter (3)”
Inside a secluded valley, Willow and her confidants were standing atop an enormous boulder awaiting news from the scouts.
“Are you sure that someone has seen Di Cang in this place?”
A beautiful maid stepped forward slowly spoke, “Monarch, that person said he couldn’t be wrong. He saw Di Cang walk into this valley with his own eyes.”
“Good!” Monarch Willow narrowed her eyes in and snickered a sneer, “No matter where you go Di Cang, I will have you. I wasn’t able to have your heart in the past, but not anymore! This time around, you are mine and mine alone!”
She had already made Di Cang lose all his memories so it’s just a matter of time before she gets her way.
“Go in separate directions to find him. No one is allowed to disturb him upon discovery. Immediately return and inform me. Although he doesn’t remember, his strength remains and none of you are his opponent.” Willow’s expression remains cold and harsh, but there’s an undeniable delight in those eyes.
This was a precaution the monarch had to take. During their first encounter, she only made the demon king unconscious after she trapped him. If the situation were anything else, she wouldn’t hold a candle against that man.
“Yes, Monarch.” The maids exchanged an understanding look between themselves and scattered.
“Xiao Yun, am I not beautiful enough?” She murmurs and asks her confidant.
The maid known as Xiao Yun stood at a respectful distance and bowed her head: “Monarch, your beauty is second to none in the domain. How can you think otherwise?”
Willow smiled bitterly and tickled her lips sarcastically: “Then why won’t he ever look at me? Ten thousand years ago it was the same, he won’t even greet me when I’m the only one near him. Do you know why I despise men with multiple wives?”
Xiao Yun the maid didn’t disturb her mistress, only standing there quietly to listen to the story.
“Because… that man once said he will only marry one woman in his life.” Willow gently lowered her eyes to let the gloom hover overhead, “Back then, my father wanted to marry me to him. Originally I disagreed and didn’t want to, but my heart fell for him in the end….”
Then raising her head to meet the open sky, a range of old memories and emotions resurfaced due to the experience from ten thousand years ago.
“In those days, us females were nothing but objects used by the opposite s.e.x to vent their s.e.xual desires. We were tools, and I was no different. My father wanted to marry me to a man I never met or liked, but I resisted and failed…. Then I finally met him on that fateful day. One glance, that’s all it took for my heart to fall for him.”
