Chapter 982 "Welcome the Queen (4)"
Man and beast have always been old enemies, what wrong have I done?
“Fei Yi, Yu Xiang, listen well!" Bai Yan"s expression grew hard and expressionless, "Everyone in the Demon Realm is my subject, it"s my duty to secure your safety. However, I will not permit mindless carnage or destruction either!"
“If humans attack you first then I will not care even if you retaliate with a hundred times the force. In fact, I will also help you with the act. On the contrary, I will not permit any hostility towards humanity without provocation. Anyone who does so on their own will be expelled from the Demon Realm and never to return!"
She couldn"t control demons from elsewhere in this world, but the ones under her watch must abide by her rules! In her past and present life, anyone who doesn"t cross her won"t be harmed, but if they do cross her then it"s a retaliation of everything she"s got, no exception! This was especially true in this day and age since the realms of human and demons have once again been reunited through the shattering of the great seal. Bai Yan"s not going to let others murder the innocent and weak! Of course, this logic also applies to said demons. If humanity attacks her subjects then she too would attack in full.
Fei Yi and Yu Xiang inwardly trembled with shock over the promise. Hurrying to bow their heads: "Your subjects are here to abide by Your Highness"s will."
“Good, send my orders out. Those who dare to go make trouble in the human realm will not be taken kindly. The lightest is banishment, the harshest death!" That part done, Bai Yan now returns her attention to the train wreck that was the old fox. "Now, let"s go over the accounts with you."
Under those overbearing and sharp eyes, Hu bud Wei could not even muster the courage to lift up his head. His soul"s been lost. “Queen, can you… forgive us? We are willing to obey any wish Your Highness have of us in the future."
That brought a wave of laughter into Bai Yan"s face: “The entire Demon Realm is at my beck and call, and the humans living here in this border city will also become mine very soon, why should I keep you when I have so many more willing souls?"
The old fox shuddered, knowing full well his plea had no leg to stand on. Nevertheless, for the sake of his own family, his own branch of the Fox Clan, he must persist!
“Queen, my branch of the Fox Clan deserves at least something. We worked hard for the sake of the Demon Realm." Wiping away a drop of the tear from the corner of his eye, "Not to mention we didn"t know about you before. A crime shouldn"t be a crime if the party is unaware."
“Not a crime?” Bai Yan was immensely irked by that ridiculous defense. Kicking the old fox in the chest to send him flying backwards, she grew hard and threatening: "So if I was less incompetent that day and didn"t escape, does mean I would"ve died by your hands for nothing? Are you going to tell Di Cang that you didn"t know so your crime doesn"t count? Yes, you killed his wife so he must show forgiveness because you are unaware?!"
He could feel his heart being punched by a heavy fist. Hurrying to crawl up from his position after being kicked, Hu Bud Wei starts begging again with increased fervor. He knows, what he said there was simply idiotic and foolish. No one could beg for forgiveness from that man. The only thing that would do was to make the punishment even more cruel!
Then as if the blood in his veins were awakened, Hu Bud Wei suddenly casts a look over to his own daughter Hu Mei. Regardless of the resentment he held for this foolish girl, she"s still his flesh and blood. The older one was already lost, now this one"s the only child he has left. Even if he won"t live, he must at least let her survive this ordeal.
“Queen, all the fault lies with me. I implore you to let my youngest daughter live. She"s ignorant and young. Even if she"s denigrated to a slave is fine. My only hope is that you spare her out of consideration that she"s also a fox."
