Chapter 1845 - Gu Ya’s Doomsday (1)

Criminal?

Gu Ya looked blankly around the clamoring around who wants to see her hung. She’s confused by their vigor.

How could I be a criminal?

I merely wanted to find the monarch at the ruins. I never intended to kill the elders. It’s not my intention….

Why do all these people want to destroy me?

I am not wrong! I don’t deserve this….

“Monarch, we must avenge our dead brothers and sisters,” Elder Yu got all red in the eyes when glaring at the one responsible. “She caused so many deaths today, both on our side and the enemies. For the sake of everyone who suffered under her ploy, we mustn’t let her die too easily. She must suffer as much as we all did!”

Gu Ya gasped in shock. She thought death was scary before, but that demand sent her quivering uncontrollably.

“You promised me you would give me a swift death. You can’t let them do this to me!”

Bai Yan smiled at that: “I promised I would give you a clean death, but unfortunately, I never said I would control what the others would do.”

In other words, she won’t torture her but won’t stop them from tormenting her either.

The mood of the elders rose with those words.

At first they worried about the promise made of not making it painful for Gu Ya; however, this twist of words left them hopeful for what was to come.

“How can you not keep your promise as a Demi Divine Lord!” Climbing up from the ground, Gu Ya yells out in frustration at being played. She’s furious and wants to devour this deceitful woman.

If eyes could kill then Bai Yan would be butchered by this point.

“When did my words not count?” Bai Yan barred her teeth as she grinned, “I only said I wouldn’t make it painful; never did I say a word about others. You are the one who didn’t listen to my words properly. Father, Mother, I am tired now so I’m leaving this matter in your hands.”

Without caring for the gazes coming her way over that remark, Bai Yan swings around with Ling Yan in tow.

“No!” A sharp cry pierces through the night as Gu Ya watched those whom she considered allies until now slowly closed in on herself. There’s no room for retreat with a wall behind her back, only endless pain for what she’s done.

“Gu Ya, we’ve treated you well for all these years and this is the way you repay our kindness?” Shaking his head in disappointment, Elder Sky never thought the day would come where Gu Ya betrays the Monarch Manor.

And, she also killed two of the elders….

“Elder Sky, I did not mean for any of this, woowooo. I did not know this would happen. If you hadn’t stopped me from going out to look for the monarch then I wouldn’t have come up with such a plan either. Please let me die a quick death, please….”

She cried and knelt before Ji Sky with her arms clinging to that leg. She’s hardly the elegant maiden from way past, only a pitiful woman who betrayed everyone for her selfish greed.
