Chapter 549 “Return to the Demon Realm (4)”
I being no exception….
But that doesn’t mean I will just step aside for a woman who’s likely the result of State Teacher’s doing!
A flicker of light flashes in the woman’s iris as she curled that lip into a snarl, Dealing with such a woman will be easy. There will naturally be others to take charge in my stead….
……
Tiger Clan’s residence.
Inside the place, a certain young maiden wearing a yellow skirt was in such a rush that she ended up missing the person in front of herself. As a result, the girl nearly bumped head first into the other side.
“Jun Ruqing, what are you doing?” Squinting her eyes, she glares at the woman in front.
“Hoho,” the pure woman who’s known as Jun Ruqing raises a smirk, “I only came to inform you of one news. His Majesty is returning and is bringing a Queen and Prince along. I believe you have the right to know.”
The girl in the yellow skirt showed confusion at first but then quickly changed it to anger: “What do you mean by this?”
“My meaning is very simple,” Jun Ruqing squints her eyes and scoffs a chuckle. “Do you feel its right for a human woman to be by His Majesty’s side? I heard that female is a real slut back in the human world, constantly hooking up with different males. From what I know, she’s already had four men until now. But because of State Teacher’s word, Sire is convinced the woman is the most suitable for him.”
“So… don’t you think State Teacher is taking our king for a fool?” Jun Ruqing’s smile now deepened until it’s blinding to the eye for some reason.
“Humph, I will go see the woman for myself when King returns!” Biting her lip, the yellow skirt girl stabs her hands against the waist: “I’d like to see what sort of ability she has to be picked by His Majesty.”
……
Inside the palace.
A strong ray of light explodes out of the alter set inside the center of this grand structure, shrouding the entire demon world with its brilliance.
“Hail to the King, Queen and Crown Prince. Your subjects are here to welcome the royal family’s return!” Those standing there all took to their knees upon seeing the man’s purplish figure and his two accompanying family members.
“This one next to me is the future mistress of the Demon Realm, and she will be the only one!” Perhaps its due to fear of Bai Yan being intimidated by such a grand reception, but Di Cang’s hand had inexplicably tightened around the female’s.
Then again, there were no reason to because the ministers didn’t object, only sharing a glance with each other like they expected as much.
“In addition,” the sound of the man’s overbearing voice rises again in volume, “in this Demon Realm, the Queen’s word is law, followed second by my own. You must all respect her and listen to her command. If there’s any violation then no forgiveness shall be given!”
Bai Yan’s heart trembled at that proclamation, her palm also tightening against the man’s hand in return.
In the past she couldn’t get a sense of security that one would hope from a lifelong partner, but now, she’s feeling it and its not such a bad thing….
King’s meaning is? It couldn’t be, the Queen’s word is the rule and his own words is second fiddle? The ministers didn’t expect this part from the man so strange looks of bewilderment were being shared among each other.
“Sire…” an old minister unsurely speaks up. “If there’s a conflict between your order and the Queen’s, who should we listen to?”
A chilly gaze shot over to him in that second, causing the old minister to leak out a layer of cold sweat. He knew his question was a mistake so he didn’t dare to look up anymore.
