Chapter 1495 “Turns Out, They’re the Idiots (3)”
Towards the hissing sound of animalistic instinct from the old witch, many were shocked with even more horrified by what they’re seeing. It’s beyond what many thought of the woman based upon the fake image she portrayed, thus causing their brains to clunk up into a stupor.
“Rou Xi, you…” Keeper Zun was among the shocked individuals here. This kind elder got so overwhelmed that he had to take a step back to gain his footing and to let his mind work through the information.
Still in her own world and snickering derisively at everyone, Yun Ruo Xi continues to howl out her inner darkness: “If she didn’t want to steal away my amulet, and stole the Lord’s heart, I wouldn’t have wanted to harm her either. Keeper Zun, you told me what the amulet can do and its amazing properties so why should I give it back to her? If I did, my good days would be over…. don’t you people get it?!”
“Ruo Xi!!!” Coming back from his initial shock like everyone else, Keeper Ling also lashes out in livid fashion. He’s shaking extremely hard due to the swelling emotions of betrayal from within: “Tell me this instant that what you said there is not true, tell me that right this instant!”Among the many Keepers that looked after her, Yun Ruo Xi had the best impression of Keeper Ling who was among the grumpiest. He treated her the best so a level of warmth did become born within the witch’s heart. However, right as she’s about to respond in kind, a derisive and self-mocking laugh cuts her off.
“What am I doing? What’s the point in even listening anymore when reality is in front of me! Yun Rou Xi you witch, how dare you deceive us for a thousand years?!”
How laughable, to think I was just saying Bai Yan couldn’t amount to an ounce of her goodness! Talk about a face slap, a face slap I did to myself!
Biting her own lips tightly, Yun Ruo Xi started to quiver because even that flicker of warmth she had inside died off: “Keeper Ling… I….”
“Ruo Xi, do you know how much of a crime you committed? We poured a millennium into you, forced the Lord to marry you, and killed Bai Yan for your sake! Now the Lord won’t even return to the Celestial Palace because of that. Now you’re showing us the amulet All Heaven isn’t yours to begin with? Do you know what you’ve done? What you’ve caused? You’ve doomed us all!” Somber in the face, Keeper Ling the grumpy senior only had despair and pain coursing through those eyes, “Yun Ruo Xi, even if you die a thousand times over, you still can’t erase your own crimes!”
Others from the Celestial Palace are also very unstable in their emotions, all wanting to slaughter the old witch to satiate their anger.
Yun Ruo Xi naturally didn’t get it still of course considering the sort of character that was herself. She’s confused, not able to comprehend why all her former allies would turn so quickly and want her life after the truth came out. In her mindset, even if she’s not the supposed ‘savior’, there should still be some sort of feelings in there since they spent a millennium together, right?“Keeper Ling, I didn’t harm the Celestial Realm, I did not, I only hurt Bai Yan….”
Instead of mounting a proper defense in her argument, that sentence only aroused a stronger level of hatred from the Keepers.
