Chapter 579 "Love (1)”
“First Elder!”
On the Demon Mountain, the First Elder was in the middle of rus.h.i.+ng down of the place when he overheard the call from his brothers who were trying to keep up with his pace.
“Is there anything else you guys want to ask?”
“Umm,” one of the old men present hesitates for a while before asking, “did you know ahead of time that Lady Suzaku wouldn"t trouble Her Highness?"
Giving the rest a long look, the leader of this bunch eventually nods, confirmation their suspicion of why their leader would be so certain Jun Ruqing was lying back there. "There are some things that can"t be said in one go. Back then I was still very young so I"m not entirely in on the full story, so only the State Teacher does regarding the state of everything. However, I do know enough that Lady Suzaku would never harm the Queen."
“The one who just pa.s.sed us… is that the king?" The man"s face was terribly pale at the thought.
“It seems to be him,” Another elder gulped, “why do I have the feeling someone is going to suffer very soon?"
………
Under the glowing white light of the landscape on this Demon Mountain, the red burning flame that"s created under the power of the Vermillion Bird was exceptionally out of place.
This was the prison and punishment for the fox demoness.
“King……” The fox painfully murmurs after discovering the purplish silvery figure that arrived just moments ago.
In all honesty, she had thought the chance to meet this man would never come again, but that hope was merely her own illusion for Di Cang"s gaze right now could only be called cruel and dangerous. In fact, it"s downright dangerous in how bloodshot red it was, a typical angry beast that"s ready to pounce at its prey and rip it to shreds.
And sure enough, Di Cang didn"t wait and reached out to rip the woman out of the flames in one forceful tug of his power.
"Sire, I knew you wouldn"t be so heartless to me." Giving a hopeful light in her iris, Jun Ruqing was overjoyed at being freed from her burning prison.

That"s right, no matter what I"m still the G.o.ddaughter of the First Elder. There"s no way the king would be so pa.s.sionless.
“So you are Jun Ruqing?” The man’s voice was low and hoa.r.s.e that instantly captivated the woman.
“Sire, I"ve longed for you since the very first moment I saw you. Now that you"ve saved me, I can only repay the debt by bestowing myself to you. I wil-"
Beam!
From out of the blue, two hot rays of searing light shoots out of the man"s hand and enters the fox demonesses eye, causing her to scream out in excruciating pain.
“But why?!” Trembling in the lip, her body recedes back to the old tree that had cornered her during Bai Yan"s confrontation.
Because of that blood seeping out of her eye sockets and the grief filled face, that entire appearance now had nothing left of the seductive and charming image she portrayed to those around herself.
