Chapter 833 “Return to the Holy Land (1)”

“No!” Seeing Qing Xue’s agonizing pain, the man to the side instantly showed dread on the face as he pounced over to hug the woman’s body in a futile attempt to help.

“Qing Xue, Qing Xue, what’s wrong?!” Tightly biting his lip, those eyes was bursting with blood as he swung over to face Bai Yan: “No matter how much wrong Qing Xue did, she’s already been punished enough. Why must you torture her like so?”

The more this man watched the woman whom he loves suffer, the more hatred there was in his eyes. Its so bad that this imposter had started to shake profusely due to the intense rage brewing up from within.

“She should’ve been aware of what awaited when she had you impersonate Di Cang.” Slowly turning away after throwing that answer out there, Bai Yan was done here. “Suzaku, we’re leaving”

“Yes Mistress.” Giving a faint nod return, the phoenix waves her hand again to intensify her flames, enshrouding the imposter as well in the newly erected fire.

However, despite the intense pain, the man didn’t scream or howl out in agony like before. Compared with the material pain of his flesh, the scorching torture in his heart had long dulled his senses. Right now there’s only sadness and pity in his eyes when facing Qing Xue.

That’s right. Even if this foul snake of a woman only wanted to use him for her own gains, he doesn’t regret it. If he could, this person that’s been used as nothing more than a substitute for another, only want what’s best for this demoness. He wants her to be happy….

Sadly, life and fate doesn’t always pan out the way it does in the stories. Not only did his perseverance and heart not move Bai Yan or her party, it didn’t move Qing Xue either because this wretched snake never had him in her eyes even when things have come this far.

……

Back over in the main gathering hall of the palace, Di Cang had just finished taking his seat on the throne: “Where did State Teacher and First Elder go?”

Coming up to answer was Third Elder. Arching his fist in compliance: “This… we do not know. State Teacher only left behind word that he needs to go do something important and requires the help of a Celestial Rank person to accompany him. That’s why First Elder left with him.”

“Important matter to do?” Arching a brow, Di Cang’s cold expression began to turn into a frown: “I understand then. Also, go tell Second Elder and Fire Plume to crawl over to the Demon Mountain. Tell them not to come back until my wife forgives them, and if they can’t…..” The demon king’s expression got dark and menacing to deliver what he meant despite not uttering the last bit.

Third Elder began to shudder all over at this notion. He understands, the time of judgement has come for those two. If Bai Yan doesn’t forgive them, well… the only outcome would either be banishment or something worse….

“Yes my king.” All nervous in his retreat, the third elder did as order and passed on the message to the two.

……

Unlike the usual peace and quietness that’s become norm for the Demon Mountain, a crowd of onlookers had gathered at the base to watch the unfolding event.

In the middle was an old senior and a younger looking man, both crawling on the ground with a bundle of bamboo on their back to act as weight. Even for Second Elder who has lived a very long life considering his age, he couldn’t deny this was shamefully embarrassing.

“Ooomph,” Fire Plume coughs awkwardly, “Second Elder, are you able to continue?”

Gritting his own teeth due to shame: “Don’t mind me, this is our fault to begin with that the queen ran away from home.”

That said, the pair didn’t say anymore useless words and focused on their arduous trek up the mountain path. Due to the long periods of lacking maintenance, the ground had long been overgrown with shrubs and thorny plants. As a result, their knees and clothes had begun to rip and bleed from the scratches installed by the greenery.

For the onlookers who came to witness this event, they didn’t have the courage to follow the pair up the mountain due to the fact that its Suzaku’s territory. However, this degrading image was now firmly engrained onto their minds and became a laughing stock among the common folks of the Demon Realm for hundreds of years to come….
