“Okay, I will stay here too until you’re finished.” Bai Xiachen happily said, his big bright eyes shining with life.

……

Inside a rustic study room, a man dressed in a long black robe has been staring out the window with a dark gloomy face, the air around him oppressive and suffocating due to the foul events thus far.

“Monarch.” A maid stepped forward from the doorway and respectfully bowed, “Miss Yun Rou Xi seeks an audience.”

The man frowned after hearing that name, “Let her in then.”

“Yes Monarch,” the maid complied and left.

Moments later.

“Greetings Monarch…” Yun Ruo Xi properly bowed her head in a respectful manner, her tone submissive and soft.

“Were you in the Celestial Realm recently?” The man’s indifferent and gloomy voice sent a shudder down the lady’s spine, causing her white dress to flutter so slightly due to the vibration.

Not dumb enough to think she could hide the fact, Yun Ruo Xi decides to spill the truth. “Yes Monarch, I did go back to the Celestial Realm. I wanted to help deal with the Demon Realm, please forgive me.”

The man finally turned around and stopped using his back to face her, “If something happens to you, I won’t save you a second time.”

The lady’s expression changed greatly as she hung her head even lower: “I… I understand Monarch.”

“Say it, why did you come seek me today?” Though indifferent, the cold demanding note in there told the other side this person doesn’t like being bothered unless its important.

“I wish to know why Your Monarchness wishes to destroy the Demon Realm. Is there some sort of dispute between you and them?” Yun Rou Xi timidly asks this, her voice so soft that it could melt hearts.

In her mind, this person who’s a Monarch of a world was no different to any other men. As long as she uses her seductive charms then she would be able to get anything out of him. It’s just that the trickery has backfired. In this moment, only a disgustful light flickered within the individual’s eye.

“It is no secret that Di Cang killed my entire family so I don’t mind telling you this. I will have his head one day, and so will the Demon Realm be destroyed for being his.”

In that instant, a vicious poison burned within Yun Ruo Xi’s heart.

He’s lying to me. Di Cang nearly died when confronting the Celestial Realm a millennium ago, how can someone like that kill this man’s family? It doesn’t make sense. No matter though, as long as they’re at odds with each other then I can use it to my advantage. Bai Yan, you will die one day by my hands and it will be me who’s laughing till the end!

Inhaling deeply to gather her composure, Yun Ruo Xi slowly got back up from her bowing posture: “That is unforgivable Monarch, how dare they hurt your family. Rest assured, Di Cang and all those who follow him will pay the price. I will do my upmost in seeing that through!”

The man in black didn’t say much to that oath, rather he seems amused as he smirked: “Yes indeed, I will definitely need your help in the future….”

If this woman wasn’t still of use, I would’ve longed killed her. She thinks she can tempt me with that level of beauty? HA! I’ve seen countless more at a scale far beyond her own in the past, she’s nothing but average in comparison to those!
