Chapter 835 “Return to the Holy Land (3)”
Moved to tears by this point, Fire Plume was filled with gratitude based on the face he was making . “Queen, the great mercy you showed me today will never be forgotten . ”
If Her Highness didn’t forgive me then the king will never keep me around . If that’s the case, the only outcome would be banishment from the Demon Realm… .
“This matter is not yours or Second Elder’s fault to begin with . If they can blind me to the truth then what right do I have to blame you two?” Smiling on the face, Bai Yan comments bitterly: “Besides, the loyalty you showed me isn’t going unnoticed . Just keep being true to Di Cang in the future as you’ve always been . ”
Coming down to take a seat on the stone stool now, it was Second Elder who spoke next: “Queen, you forgiving us is your openheartedness, but I won’t forgive myself . From now here onforward, I will use my loyalty to prove my worth . ”
Sighing at their persistence: “Here, these two pills are for your knees . Take it and quickly heal up so you can go back down the mountain . Suzaku doesn’t like being disturbed . ”
After her saying that, Bai Yan then tosses the two pills over and returned to her resting spot inside the bamboo cabin . But unlike her mistress though, the phoenix woman didn’t go inside, she merely continues to stand there staring down at the two men like she’s seeing some filthy peasant .
Wham!
From out of the blue, she actually kicks them both in the shin after seeing they had ingested the medicine .
“Lady Suzaku~” Gasping over the wincing pain, Second Elder pathetically looks at the lady in an unsure manner of what to do .
“When something like that happened back then, why did you not come find me first?” Gnashing her teeth, she snaps at them both .
Squirming at the interrogation, the senior somehow became smaller in terms of size: “It’s the king… . No wait, it’s the imposter, he wouldn’t let me tell anyone including First Elder and you Lady Suzaku . He said he didn’t want the news landing in the queen’s ear . ”
“Stupid!” Seething at this point upon hearing that ridiculous answer, “If Her Highness didn’t forgive you then it wouldn’t be just a kick! Since your wounds are healed now scram, I don’t want to see your faces!”
That’s no different from amnesty for the pair . Scrambling to get off their butts, Second Elder and Fire Plume practically fled like a ferocious predator was behind their back . In a blink of an eye and plenty of dust cloud in their wake, the two was gone and without a trace .
Going back inside once they’re out of sight, Suzaku had already shed away the stern and heavy air she had, leaving only a smudge of grievance on that face . “Queen, I only wanted to give them a lesson for their stupid behavior, you wouldn’t blame me would you?”
Turning her head with a chuckle: “You are only just angry, are you better now that it’s vented?”
Suzaku immediately nodded, and her eyes became cautious: “Queen, are you going to stay for good now that you’re back?”
Raising a smile, Bai Yan frankly answers her: “Unfortunately, I need to leave the Demon Realm for another trip . Don’t worry, I will be back soon . ”
Though she’s still not happy that her mistress was leaving for another time, but it still warms her heart that it’s a brief one and that Bai Yan would return . From the initial frown, the phoenix was now blooming a genuine smile .
“Queen, I can’t leave the Demon Mountain now, but when you bring Black Turtle back then I can finally leave this place… . ”
As I did a thousand years ago, I will accompany you to the battlefield!
Seemingly recalling back to their time together, Suzaku’s gaze showed yearning and hope for the glorious days they shared .
