Chapter 624 - Leave (5)
“I have no other choice either. The queen is extremely intelligent, that’s why I lured the second elder out to fool her that night. If things continue as is, State Teacher would surely discover what I did after he comes out.” The man bitterly laughs at himself, frustrated as well by the situation.
He knows that there’s no way for him to escape death, but even so, a few days was still a few days, its better than nothing….
“Second Elder?” Qing Xue’s expression appeared unhappy, “I remember the one with the highest position is First Elder, why didn’t you look for him instead?”
“You don’t understand Qing Xue,” the man shakes his head to shut the idea down. “First Elder is someone that has been around before the Demon Realm was sealed. He knows far too many things. If it was him that night, I know he would’ve seen through me….”
Biting her lip, a venomous light flare out of the snake’s eye: “I don’t care, you must help me! I want that human woman dead!”
“Qing Xue!” The demand angered the man and caused him to shout back: “Do you understand what you are talking about? That woman you keep mentioning is the queen, the QUEEN!”
“I said it already, she is not the QUEEN, I AM!” Her complexion grew frostily cold at the rebuttal, “I will have her dead before I am through with her! In this world there can only be one Queen, and that is I, Qing Xue! That human stole my status and destroyed my clan, for that she must die!” At this moment, the enraged anger has caused the demoness’s eye to go bloodshot, indicating how poisonous her heart truly was.
Staring blankly at that distorted expression, the man stammers in horror at what has become of his love interest. “You’ve changed Qing Xue. In order to take the title as Queen, you’ve changed. You weren’t like this before…”
“You have to help me, only you can help me in this world!” In light of her further attempt to hide that darkness in those eyes, Qing Xue’s soft voice not only didn’t help, it only made her twisted appearance even worse. “Will you help me? This is for the sake of our friendship.”
Closing his eyes at that plead, the man makes one final smile of bitter sadness: “Fine, I will help you for one last time…”
“Remember, we must finish off that little rabbit as well as the woman. I absolutely refuse to believe the rumors circulating in the air. What only she can give birth to the king’s child, I can do it better and more!” Smirking in a shady fashion, this demoness didn’t even try to hide her cruel nature at all by this point. “That’s right, I remember the palace has a bunch of powerful shadow guards, correct?”
This time the man’s expression was starting to turn ugly as well. He knows, if he returns to the palace again then the chances of his escape would diminish immeasurably.
“Qing Xue, I won’t ask for much, just that you would remember me in the future if I were to die from this.”
“Do not worry you silly. You’ve helped me so much, of course I would remember you.” Despite the soft comforting tone this snake used, her heart only sneered with contempt at the other side.
HA! This idiot is so stupid, as if I would remember anyone but the king. Look at him, plain and ordinary, a disgrace of a man. If he wasn’t still useful then I wouldn’t even approach him.
Being the gullible fool that he was, the man’s face grew firm at that affirmation: “Okay, I will help you.”
As long as she can remember me then what else do I need? A person like me who can never see the light of day has no future. Even if its just in memory, its enough….
……
Border of the Demon Realm.
“I will give you all another chance. Surrender or face a fate more miserable than death.” Standing in the air with his dashing purple robe and silvery hair, the man remains as domineering and surreal as ever.
