Chapter 1473 “Self-Humiliation (2)”

Bai Ning’s eyes squinted in as she gently exhaled like she’s come to a decision, “First Elder, you take Ling Yan away first, I’m afraid I might hurt her by mistake if she stays here.”

The old senior didn’t have time to comply though because Winger had already stepped forward to take possession of Ling Yan first. There’s an understanding between the grandmother and the bird man once their eyes met, which needed no further words to express.

Returning her gaze to arrogant Keeper, Bai Ning reforms her indifferent and cold gaze: “There are indeed gaps between various Demi Divine Lords, but to me, those differences are nonexistent and have nothing to do with me. Also, I said it already, I am no longer the same person as I was before. I won’t be running from anyone!”

The momentum around the woman promptly grew more violent. Wave after wave, the aura around her body kept sweeping across the air until everyone nearby could feel it. It’s intense and suffocating.

The look across Keeper Ling’s face could no longer remain calm once he a.s.sessed the woman with his own eyes. Without another thought, this old man did the first instinct that came to mind and pushed the old witch away: “Ruo Xi, watch out!”

Yun Ruo Xi wasn’t ready for this sudden shove at all. Similar to an arrow, she flew out in a straight line like an arrow before crash landing twenty odd meters away. Coupling this impact with her already frail body due to the poison circulating in her veins, she immediately threw up blood again. However, the condition couldn’t stop the fear from pulling this old witch up from the ground. She was scared out of her mind, which manifested into a physical run for the other way without a single glance back.

As for Keeper Ling in the background…. Hoho, as if this selfish woman would care about other people’s wellbeing? She’s only using these Keepers to her own benefit! Moreover, it’s the other side’s own choice in risking their life for herself, she has nothing to do with the matter!

Winger caught onto what the old witch thought of course, he’s the one who knows Ruo Xi the best here. However, right as the bird man’s about to give chase, a small little hand reached upwards and held him back.

“She’ll be back.” Di Ling Yan says, her lips smiling like a mischievous fox that she was.

She’s poisoned the woman already, aside from the baby’s mother, there’s unlikely anyone else who knows the recipe to the antidote. Also, the most important matter at hand was helping her grandmother. For some unknown reason, the baby girl wants to keep Winger around as a a.s.surance, that’s her instinct working and not anything logical.

“HA!” Bai Ning finally read through what the old Keeper wanted to do as well. Narrowing her eyes in, “You want to protect her? But look at that woman, which part of her behavior is showing she cares about yours?”

A slight flush similar to an embarra.s.sed face appeared in the old fella’s face because he could also see the old witch fleeing behavior: “Ruo Xi is not afraid to die, she’s only afraid she cannot complete her mission of protecting this world. For the sake of all life, she must do so.”

Bai Ning’s smile only got deeper and more mocking like she’s just heard some funny joke. Likewise, First Elder and the other demons nearby were also stunned beyond belief. They’ve seen cowards before and shameless individuals as well, but this sort of blind ignorance was at a different level.

No matter though, whatever the case it was between the Celestial Palace and that deceitful old witch, Bai Ning didn’t care. Brandis.h.i.+ng her longsword, she unleashes her murderous power for the other side.

Keeper Ling got white in the face then as he attempts to defend himself. It’s now he finally understood he’s been underestimating the woman and hasn’t kept his guard up. Gritting his teeth, the old senior swings his sword to meet the attack head on.

Boom!

Following a loud explosion due to two opposing forces, the wind blows everything away in the near vicinity.
