Chapter 574 “Guest of the Demon Mountain (6)”
Even if I can’t escape my imminent death, I still won’t let her do any better! Thinking of this, Jun Ruqing’s eyes are now openly hostile.
As for Suzaku the Vermillion Bird, she was even more confused and lost. The only thing running through this glamorous woman’s head now was that last comment and the fear of what it entailed.
“Stinking bitch, what are you talking about!” In her urgent rage, she quickly steps out from the void and lashes out in defense of herself: “When did I like the King?”
Why did I never know I liked the King?
Making a dismissive smile, the fox woman only took this as the other side being shy and didn’t want to let everyone know. But it doesn’t matter, her goal has been achieved for the impression’s been made regarding Bai Yan as the third-party thief!
Yet……
The next action from Suzaku went against everything that’s been planned.
“Queen, you have to believe me, the person I’ve liked have and always will be you. How can I possibly like a stinking man!”
Her resentfulness was displayed fully in the glare she shot over to the criminal responsible for this mess, which only got emphasized when Suzaku turned back to Bai Yan with a tearful and pitiful face. If one didn’t know better, they might just assume she’s being abandoned by her husband that caught her cheating and was now in the middle of trying to make excuses.
Bai Yan on the other hand only felt increasingly uncomfortable under that look. Rubbing her arms like she’s just got the goosebumps: “You insulted Di Cang just now you know. What do you think he would do if he learns of it?”
That immediately caused a horrible change in Suzaku’s face.
She has always found the opposite sex disgusting, that’s why she ended up saying that sentence without forethought. However, that doesn’t excuse the fact that the man she’s so jealous of was the king and husband to the woman whom she’s sworn absolute loyalty to.
“Sister Suzaku, you just scolded Baddie Father, especially while in front of Mother. If he learns of what you did, he will definitely come pluck your feathers.” All smiles, the little steambun just had to chime in at the worst possible moment.
Going stiff like a rock, Suzaku’s face had fallen into full panic mode.
Don’t assume just because Di Cang has lost his memories of the past that he would turn a blind eye to this transgression. Whenever its related to Bai Yan, the man always stands at the forefront and would plow through any obstacle or threat. And now, she’s insulted him right in front of the biggest taboo possible! It be a miracle if he doesn’t chop her to pieces and make some roast chicken out of it.
“Qu… Queen, you have to help me.” Suzaku then pulls at Bai Yan’s hand, her face pitiful and crying: “You have to save me from the King. If you don’t then I will die in front of you!”
“Stop crying already.” Scanning the people present, her gaze carefully swept across everyone while making a heavy grin. “If I don’t say it, and they don’t say it, who do you think will tell him then?”
As long as she doesn’t tattle then these old-timers are sure to keep their mouths shut less they want to get on her bad side.
“Phew, then that’s great!” Heaving a long sigh of relief, the Vermillion Bird lady swiftly returns to her old confident self as she eyed the criminal responsible for her misfortune.
Under that squinting stare, Jun Ruqing’s face had lost all the blood from it.
No… impossible! Lady Suzaku clearly likes the King, otherwise why else would she kill off all those females who tried to seduce His Majesty?
And why… why is she acting like a little wife before the Queen?
“You are called Jun Ruqing?” Suzaku’s snarl has now formed an intimidating smile, thus allowing the bloodthirsty light to practically shine out of her iris. “What, do you have an opinion about my guest?”
Widening her eyes in disbelief, the fox woman ends up stumbling backwards till she finally falls to the floor.
“I… I wouldn’t dare.”
“Not dare?” Suzaku’s smile was now barring teeth and releasing a suffocating aura of murder across the landscape. “You’re already trying to frame her by saying she’s here to steal the Demon Mountain’s treasure. She is my guest, if she wants, everything here is hers to take. What else do you have to say for yourself?”
The horror on Jun Ruqing’s face only grew worse, The treasures in the Demon Mountain is hers to take? Why is Lady Suzaku treating this human woman so differently?
“Sister Suzaku, she likes my Baddie Father, and slandered my mother about having multiple affairs behind his back.” Looking up at the glamorous woman who only grew more furious with every word, Bai Xiachen intends to add as much fuel to the fire as possible. “Why are there so many people out there who wants to take my old pops away?”
