"Young Miss Li, if my father does not show much interest in what is going on in other realms. I, Prince Rong, have to do so, for the future of the fox clan! Show such interest no matter how insignificant would let me ensure the protection of my people.""But there was something that I heard and I silenced others from spreading the news. Is it true that you are Xu Hui?!"
The demon lord dropped the cadence of his tone to almost that of a whisper. When the words left his mouth, the cup that Xu Hui held fell to the floor with a clatter.
"Young Miss Li, are you alright?!"
The servants heard the sound of broken cup and left where they were to see if their mistress was hurt.
"I"m..okay."
Xu Hui looked very rattled by what the "fox prince" said, "How did anyone find out that I am not Li Jiao, but Xu Hui of the BaoXu sect?! I never told anyone except Fu Zian. After I saved his life, he chose to betray me?!!!"
The BaoXu sect disciple thought that the one that betrayed her to the fox clan was Fu Zian, not knowing that the demon lord had spies about. If the demon lord already knew of her duplicity, then the GuBaiJin sect may not be too far behind on the deception, because the sect leader also had spies too in other sects.
"Leave us alone!"
"But what about the broken cup, Young Miss Li?!"
"You can return later and have them cleaned up! Can"t you see that I"m having a discussion with the fox prince?!"
Xu Hui ordered the servants to return back to their post, although they did as commanded, the look of worry for their young mistress was evident in their eyes.
"You need to treat your servants better Young Miss Li?"
The mask of gentility that Xu Hui had worn for some days now, finally shattered under the influence of the "fox prince" who she didn"t know of his existence until today.
"You"re right! I am Xu Hui of the BaoXu sect that reincarnated into the body of the sect leader"s daughter of YuanLi sect!"
"How does it feel to know that the one that killed you is walking about and actually married to the young mistress of the WuYangChen sect."
"Brother Feng is now the sect leader of WuYangChen sect?!"
"You still give him so much respect, it seems that you can take a pig out of the swine, but you can never get rid of its ugly nature."
"Who is the pig?!!!"
Xu Hui hated the man that had discovered who she was, knowing that her murderer was living a good life, while she was dying from walking the path of infernal cultivation. The bitterness taht was in her heart rose up once again, she though he had died from the ma.s.sacre at her sect, only to be told that he now had a higher position and was living well.
Overcome by the emotion within her, the eyes of Xu Hui flashed to the color of crimson, which was only possible if she was either about to use the blood flail technique or was enraged.
"Xu Hui, be careful! You don"t want to be thrown out so soon after waking up in your new body."
Wanting to get back at the fox prince for putting her in such a tight predicament, the BaoXu sect disciple, discretely held her hand under the table and formed them a fist with it. Instantly, the demon lord felt as if his insides were being squeezed so tight.
He began coughing blood on the table that was set in front of him, staining the robes he wore and the floor. Holding on to his belly, Demon Lord Zhurong faced Xu Hui with eyes full of pain.
"Is this something that your sect taught you?!"
Xu Hui"s face reflected the confusion that was in her heart and guilt coupled with pain, she was practicing a technique that was frowned upon by her sect and hearing the "fox prince" ask made her remember how much she had strayed away from the right path.
"It is a forbidden technique."
Just that simple statement made Xu Hui shut her eyes in silent affirmation of what the demon lord said to her.
"I would do what it takes to exact my revenge on Feng Yueming!"
"You can keep looking for him all you want, but there is no one that goes by the name Feng Yueming anymore."
The demon lord wiped at his mouth with the sleeves of his robes, while speaking to the BaoXu sect disciple.
"What do you mean that there is no one that goes by that name?! Didn"t you just tell me that Brother Feng isn"t dead and is the sect leader?!"
"There is no longer a cultivator with the name Feng Yueming, but there is one that goes by the name Chen Yueming and he is married to the daughter of the former sect leader."
Since Xu Hui was so upset, she wasn"t thinking right when the demon lord first told her that Feng Yueming was now the sect leader, even if he had changed names, his position was still the same, so as long as she knew he was the sect leader, it shouldn"t matter if he wasn"t going by the name she knew him as while they were at BaoXu sect.
"Being reborn as made you quite ignorant. Are you sure you would be able face him?"
The demon lord smiled at the obvious foolishness that Xu Hui was displaying in the face of hearing about her archenemy.
"I have already killed him a million times in my head, I just need to see him in person to put my thought into action!"
"I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but you would never be able to kill Sect Leader Chen the way you are now!"
Xu Hui looked at her visitor with the look that read, "What is he even talking about?!"
