Chapter 1227 - Ning Yu’s Despair (9)
Likely finding his own behavior shameful, Dragon Flame hurried to gather his composure after a few more breaths and got up again, all the while never once removing his stare up at the Keeper.
“Auntie Ning!”
The appearance of Bai Ning brought hope to Ning Yu’s heart. Hurrying up from the ground as well, she wanted to run over and embrace that motherly figure in her heart. However, the appearance of Bai Yan that came right afterwards sent her shuddering through the body. Those eyes were all sour and jealous over the fact.
It’s true this petite girl has come to terms with the truth that Bai Yan may not have deliberately abandoned Bai Ning in the past, but it doesn’t change her feelings toward the other side because that meant she won’t.
“You…”
Keeper Ling originally had an unimpressed face despite being interrupted, but his annoyance soon changed to horror and shock at Bai Yan’s face. In fact, he actually lost his breath over this encounter.
“It’s you!”
How is this possible? How is this woman still alive? I clearly destroyed her soul back then, how can she be here now? And what’s with her calling Bai Ning her mother?
Surprised as well at being called out, Bai Yan pricks her brow at the foe: “You know me?”
“Humph!” Expressionless on his face, Keeper Ling waves dismissively, “You are a scourge to the Celestial Realm! Even if you turn to ash, I will still recognize you! But why are you still alive, I clearly destroyed your soul back then?!”
I should’ve known it’s her, otherwise why else would the Celestial Lord warn us not to interfere? This is all because of this woman! She already did enough damage back then, now she wants to do it again?!
“You’re from the Celestial Palace?”
“That’s right, I am Keeper Ling of the Celestial Palace.” The elder boldly states his title.
“Oh, then you’re the ones who want to slaughter the demons and kill White Tiger and the rest?” Bai Yan asks again with her usual calm demeanor but with a tinge of killing intent showing.
Slightly taken aback by that question, Keeper Ling actually scowled: “It seems you still remember the past. Those are indeed the deed of the Celestial Palace, what of it! For the peace of this world, you and the demons must die!”
You and the demons must die!
This sentence completely violated Bai Yan’s bottom line, causing her to usher forward the strongest force of aggression.
“Mother, I’m sorry, I’ve dragged you into this….”
Encountering a member of the Celestial Palace this soon was something out of Bai Yan’s expectation, and since the person claims to be a Keeper then he could only be at the Demi-Divine Lord level. Even so, she’s not afraid despite the huge gap in strength and felt relieved that the kids aren’t around right now.
“Don’t say that Yan’er, it’s me who should apologize because they are coming after me.” Bai Ning bitterly smiles due to the helplessness she felt inwardly.
Bai Yan on the other hand didn’t reply her mother’s words though, only looking down to the old goat beside herself. “Dragon Flame, I will lift the contract between you and Half Qing Sing in a bit, you leave here immediately, his target is me and my mother. I only want to ask one favor from you, help me bring my son and daughter to Di Cang, alright?”
