Chapter 1636 “Negotiation? (3)”
Keeper Ling’s hand began to tighten into a tense ball after losing his patience: “In that case there is nothing more to talk about between us, to think you’re such a cold-hearted person who would sacrifice so many innocent lives just for your own desire.”
It’s true that many in the Celestial Realm harmed her, but there are also countless more who did nothing at all, nothing! How did her heart become so cold and hard?
Bai Yan sneered even harder at the reprimand: “No matter how cold and hard my heart becomes, it’s nothing compared to the likes of you! That’s why even if you die, it won’t erase anything!”
Seeing the grumpy Ling was about to lash out now, Keeper Zun who’s been quiet immediately tugged at his counterpart to stop. Turning back to the demon queen, this kind elder sighs as he spoke: “Bai Yan, back when you were with us in the Celestial Realm, we really did look at you with our sincerity. Unfortunately, fate likes to toy with those living. We too never thought fate would pan out that way and cause so much hurt towards you.”
But even if we regret it now, it’s already too late….
Making a bittersweet smile at the thought: “I know you won’t forgive us, and that’s within your right and reason, we know that. We only hope…. you can let us die with dignity.”
Stepping back to her bed to take a seat, Bai Yan didn’t appear fazed by the determination shown by the two elders and instead sneered some more: “Alright, you can do that. I do not want to ever see the existence of the Celestial Palace again!”
The Celestial Palace is bound to topple, just a matter of when and who does it!
Trembling in his hand for the inevitable, Keeper Zun slowly closes those eyes for one last time and smashed down at his own head after gathering energy.
Boom!
He did not hold back at all from the strike, smas.h.i.+ng heavily into the floorboard and leaving him lifeless and dead.
Bai Yan didn’t get moved though by this sheer will of conviction, nay, instead she turned to face Keeper Ling who didn’t move yet.
s.h.i.+vering at what has come to past for his counterpart, the grumpy elder spoke apprehensively: “Bai Yan, you really can’t help the Celestial Realm?”
“No,” she bluntly answers him and refuses to waste more words.
That finally did it. Like being brought to the edge of a cliff, Keeper Ling breaks out into a hysterical laughing fit that dropped the temperature of the room down a notch.
“I see… I know you won’t let me go even if I don’t commit suicide….” Suddenly, the old elder’s eye turned sharp and determined: “However, I want to tell you this before my death: Yun Ruo Xi isn’t dead! She’s not only alive, she’s also being backed by a very powerful ent.i.ty, hahaha!”
As he laughed away so did the palm of his hand strike down from above, smas.h.i.+ng his brains out and causing both eye and mouth to spill blood while dropping to the ground.
Just like that, under the witnessing ray of the s.h.i.+ning sun seeping through the open window, two lifeless bodies of some of the strongest ent.i.ties here in this world finally came to an end, closing their chapter in the history books for good.
Uncaring as she lazily stretched her arms at the finished sight, Bai Yan spoke with indifference: “First Elder, take these corpses and toss them back to the Celestial Palace. Let them deal with their bodies if they want.”
“Yes Your Highness.” Gradually revealing himself from a shadier part of the yard was none other than the leading demon elder. He wasted no time in picking up the still warm sacks of flesh with his bare hands to leave.
Alone again now after having her room cleaned, Bai Yan didn’t go anywhere afterwards. She knows someone’s coming, a familiar someone that she’s been wanting to see after returning to this world. And sure enough after a couple of minutes, a tall standing figure of warmth appears before herself after descending from the sky.
“Black Turtle….”
