Chapter 1405 - Dragony’s Missing (3)”

Chapter 1405 “Dragony’s Missing (3)”

“But…” The old coot’s smile disappeared again, his eyes wide with pleading, “Can you come back quickly?”
Considering how cautious his tone was, Bai Yan could already see the miserable picture the other person would make once she’s gone. Closing her eyes in aching pain over what she’s trying to do, she eventually came to terms and spoke up: “Grandpapa, I’ll be back very soon, wait here for me, okay?”
The old coot nodded heavily, “I will be good so you can’t lie to me. Cross our pinkies?”
“Okay, pinky swear. Once I find Dragony I’ll return right away.” Showing a dazzling smile, Bai Yan went ahead to hook her pinky around the elder’s to seal the deal.
“Great Grandpapa goodbye,” Bai Xiachen waves his hand in the air as he and his mother departed for good, which only made the old coot even more pitiful in the background.
For a while, only the lonely figure of an old man stood at the palace doors, not moving and not going anywhere until the sun set for the night.
……
The Holy Dragon Mountain was located very far from the Demon City, therefore it took quite some time before Bai Yan and the steambun arrived at the base of this place. Even worse, there’s someone blocking the road up ahead!
“Mother.” Bai Xiachen murmurs, his hand getting uncomfortably tense as he grabbed onto his mother’s sleeve, “It’s this woman who tried to hurt me and Dragony before. She’s the one responsible for sending us down into that underground world.”
Bai Yan didn’t need to be reminded of this because she already knew who the other side was. Though their encounter was brief back then, it’s more than enough to firmly engrave the vile deceiver into her mind.
“You’re really alive.” A complex look comes off of Ruo Xi’s face. There’s resentment, hatred and hostility….
“You should be reunited with the demon king now, why are you coming back again? Isn’t it enough for you to have one man, why are you coming back to steal the Celestial Lord from me?!” The way this vile woman said it sounded like she’s very disappointed and that the other side chose the most foolish and disgusting choice possible.
Bai Yan already had a negative view of this woman to begin with, but her words only made her even more irritate. Then that’s when her gaze landed on the crescent moon amulet around the neck. Immediately, a series of fragmented memories came swarming back to her mind….
It’s a picture of two girls, two young girls to be precise. They were inside a dense jungle. One had an amulet in hand and was giving it as a gift to the other girl who was called Ruo Xi.
“This amulet… it looks familiar. You’re called Yun Ruo Xi, correct?” Showing a dominating smile, Bai Yan asks with force in her voice, “If my memories serve me right, that amulet should be mine, am I right on that as well?”
One could literally see the horror coming out of the imposter’s face. It couldn’t be helped. For Ruo Xi and all that she held right now in her life, it’s all derived from this crescent moon amulet. Without it, she’s nothing. She’s not the supposed savior of the Celestial Realm. She’s not the most important woman in this world, she’s nothing!
