Chapter 980 “Welcome the Queen (2)”
Quit joking around. Back then I only said those words to hustle some details out of her, as if I would be stupid enough to admit on the spot. If the king finds out then my clan will be screwed! The eagle man bitches inside, dreading the slim chance the Eagles would also be implicated due to this wench.
“Uncle Yu?” Cracking in her heart, Hu Mei forces a smile so she doesn’t look so bad, “Forgive my lack of understanding, you clearly that day….”
“When have the Eagles become associated with traitors? Please be more respectful, I have nothing to do with you or your family.” Hands crossed behind his back, the eagle chief huffs a grunt and pulls the forged pendant out of Hu Mei’s hand using his power, causing it crumble into dust in the air.
There’s dismay in the fox lady’s face now. She couldn’t believe what she’s seeing or what the eagle chief has done.“Someone come, subdue this criminal!” Yu Xiang coldly orders.
In an instant, several heavily armored men with eagle beaks had come swarming inside the tavern, their weapons firmly aimed at the fox while the unarmed rushed ahead to pin her to the ground.
“Uncle Yu, what are you doing? My father won’t let you go if you touch me!” Hu Mei grits her teeth as she yells out with reddening eyes.
This asshole is only picking on me because my branch of the Fox Clan has been exiled, otherwise he would never try something like this!
“Hahaha, your father can’t even protect himself and you still have the nerve to threaten me?” Yu Xiang bursts out laughing, his voice mocking and sarcastic. “Aren’t you a bit too stupid in the head if you still can’t figure out why?”
Hu Mei’s face went white. No longer struggling, she stares upward from the floor at the cold faced middle-aged chief.
“You first tried to murder the queen, then impersonated Her Highness’s identification token, do you admit your crime!”Boom~!!
As if she’s been struck by a lightning, Hu Mei’s brain instantly went blank on the spot, her eyes locking intently onto the eagle chief’s.
What did he say?
The queen’s identification token….
No, it’s not true, it must be a trick, he’s tricking me!
The lady almost couldn’t breathe from the pain in her chest, and it’s under this suffocating feeling that Yu Xiang came before Bai Yan’s presence to take kneel.
“My Queen, it’s your loyal subject here who has come late, causing Your Highness to suffer such grievances, please forgive me.”
Pricking her brow up, Bai Yan stops her lazy act and got serious as well. “Eagle Chief, how have you been lately? It’s been a while since we last met at my coronation.”
Slightly startled at the quick recognition, Yu Xiang felt elation and unease at the same time: “Thanks to Your Highness’s blessing, everything is well within my clan.”
“In that case, I will give you a task. First, gather your tribesmen and go with Fei Yi of the Wing Clan to gather the rest of the demons living in this region. Second, I want to search for a teenager by the name of Bai Xiao. I heard he was in this area not long ago.”
“Yes, My Queen.” Getting up from the floorboard, Yu Xiang respectfully complies.
“Uncle Yu, you’re lying to me…” Muttering to herself in an incoherent manner, Hu Mei’s expression becomes hysterical: “She is the queen? How can she be the queen? You are lying to me. Please tell me you are lying to me. I have never offended you in any way, why are you doing this to me?” When it came to the last bit of her sentence, there’s a heart wrenching tone like she’s about to pass out.
