Chapter 1635 “Negotiation? (2)”
In simpler terms, she’s only promised not to attack those from the Celestial Realm, never did she say those demons wouldn’t do anything as retaliation on their own. The debt has been piling up for a millennium, there’s no way blood wouldn’t be shed once things start rolling. After all, a simple word of forgiveness could never atone for a sin. That would be the equivalent of murder and getting off scot free after a slap on the wrist.
Keeper Zun’s mouth stammered for a proper response. He thought of countless possibilities before coming, but he never thought Bai Yan would directly refuse their request so quickly.
“Your Highness, the ones who did wrong is us, the rest of the Celestial Realm is innocent.”
Smile sarcastically: “Innocent? If they’re innocent then what about those demons and demonic beasts? So just because they’re different that they deserve to die at those so-called innocent hands?”
That brought Keeper Zun to a stall, unable to counteract that argument. In his mind, those animals have always been there for them to kill, to use, a resource to be tapped when needed. How could he find a proper argument in defending their stance without offending this lady first?
“Bai Yan,” Keeper Ling who’s the grumpy one could tell his counterpart has lost the ability to negotiate. Glaring at the lady as he spoke: “I know you hate us to the bone. Tell us what you want then, we only ask you protect the Celestial Realm afterwards.”
Squinting her eyes into a narrow slit, Bai Yan glared at the old man in reply: “I want Azure Dragon and White Tiger to have never needed to die and reincarnate. I also want my husband to not have needed to be in coma because he used his soul to reform my own. I also want my grandfather from the Celestial Palace to have never lost his sanity....” The more she went over the past, the more her hands were clenching into a deathly grip: “I’d rather.... I’d rather not have had to die and experience the pain of life and death. Can you do all of that? If you can change all that then I’ll help the Celestial Realm!”
Even though she’s found White Tiger and Azure Dragon again in this life, it still doesn’t change the fact that they died and has been reincarnated into anew. Then there’s also her unborn child from the previous life. That fetus bore so much resentment that it permeated into this era, such emotion and pain, how could she as a mother not demand justice?
“Bai Yan... You really can’t shelter the lives of Celestial Realm after me and Keeper Zun offer our lives?” Keeper Ling asks again, his voice full of stubbornness.
Smirking in her face, Bai Yan only had one word for this grumpy old bone: “No.”
Then pausing to take a look around like she’s trying to make a point, “And look around, does it appear I wouldn’t be able to take your lives on my own? Locating your whereabouts was just a matter of time. Why should I make a deal when it’s something within my own reach?”
This demon queen has never been one to shelter her enemies. Never in the past, and never in the present.
“Of course, the Celestial Realm won’t disappear, I have no intention of destroying this place. There are plenty of humans from the human world who will eventually ascend into immortality. At that point both demons and celestials will coexist without grudge. The only difference would be you people being gone.”
Her family and friends from the human world are the most likely candidates to achieve ascension. By that time she would make this realm suitable and welcoming to all. There won’t be such a thing as evil and good based on race, only personal deeds that dictating one’s future.
