Chapter 1442 “Secret of the Amulet (5)”
He gently closed his eyes, allowing the image of a young human to emerge from the deep passage of his memory. It’s a female donning a red dress of amazing makeup, and hanging along her neck was that crescent shaped amulet!
“This… Why is it on you?”
This amulet is clearly that woman’s!
Moreover, that woman has now become the Demon Realm’s current queen….Although Bai Yan hasn’t admitted to being the same person in Dragon Flame’s memory from many millenniums ago, he could still recognize her through the aura coming off of the soul. It’s identical, an unmistakable trademark of the individual regardless of how many incarnations they go through.
Why is the queen’s stuff on this woman?
Yun Ruo Xi’s expression promptly changed for the worse. Grabbing the amulet in a protective manner: “What do you mean by that? This thing is mine, what’s wrong with it being on me?”
Dragon Flame narrowed his eyes in like a fierce beast eyeing a prey: “Quit trying to deceive me with your nonsense. That thing on your neck clearly belongs to that….”
When he was about to speak the last bit, his tongue stopped and changed the wording to a more proper term: “That amulet clearly belongs to the queen so how can it be yours? No wonder I haven’t seen it on Her Highness’s neck at all, it’s been stolen by you!”
Boom!
As if struck by lightning on a sunny and clear day, Yun Ruo Xi went deathly pale at being exposed.Why does the old man know about the moon amulet? Why does he know it belongs to that bitch Bai Yan?!
“You’re talking nonsense!” Eager to hide her own guilt, she snaps back in a frantic manner like a banshee’s howl: “What right does a person like Bai Yan deserve to have my amulet? This thing is clearly mine. It was she who stole it from me for a while before I managed to take it back.”
No matter what, she’s not going to admit anything, even if the other side already knew the truth. However, it doesn’t mean others are going to buy her story just like that, especially Winger who’s been standing there and listening in with strong intention.
The bird man only appeared skeptical at first after hearing the story from the old goat, but that skepticism soon changed to shock before evolving into an eerie calm.
“Uncle Dragon Flame…. This amulet, it belongs to Ruo Xi, are you mistaken?” Even if he tries to hide it, one could tell the swirling emotions in Winger’s unsteady voice.
His heart couldn’t bring itself to believe it, not because of blind belief, but rather of fear for all the pain and suffering he endured. What if Ruo Xi deceived him for all these years? Wouldn’t that mean he became a dog for someone for no apparent reason? Such humiliation, he simply couldn’t accept it!
Hahaha, ridiculous, this is too ridiculous!
Breaking out into laughter at the questioning look, Dragon Flame almost found it funny that he needed to explain his own claim like it’s some ironic scenario.
“You ignorant fools even know what that amulet represents? It represents power, talent and strength! The one holding it will control the world, an omnipotent being to rule them all! Why you may ask? That’s because hidden inside that amulet is the secret to great strength, power beyond anything you could possibly imagine! Go ahead, ask that woman over there if she can tap into the secret, come on, I dare you.” Laughing to no end, the old goat’s voice continued to ring against the bird man’s ear like endless mockery.
Winger couldn’t take it anymore. Stumbling backwards until he’s leaning against a nearby tree for support, this poor soul kept shaking his head in disbelief like a man that’s been betrayed and destroyed from the inside out.
