Chapter 1496 “Turns Out, They’re the Idiots (4)”

Had it not been for the serious injuries they suffered by the hands of Winger, these old Keepers would all be up in arms towards the old witch at this point. Worse was the fact that they could tell Yun Ruo Xi had no remorse over her own actions, thus infuriating their hearts even further.

“Why didn’t you tell us Bai Yan is the real owner of the amulet?” Keeper Zun almost could hold himself back there despite his good kind nature, “Why did you impersonate her ident.i.ty?”

“I didn’t… She gave me All Heaven so that means I am its owner. I didn’t impersonate her…”

“Ha!” Keeper Zun’s tone now got sinical and irate, “then did I ever tell you the amulet can only have one owner in this life? You said nothing despite that fact. I suspect you are purposely conspiring to destroy our world!”

Yun Ruo Xi just stare dumbfoundedly over the accusation. It’s true she’s jealous of Bai Yan and went through long lengths to destroy her former friend, but she’s never once thought of ruining this world.

Why can only Bai Yan get the good stuff in this world? We are both the same, born from the same area, lived similar lives, so why does everyone turn to her and give her everything while I get nothing?

The Celestial Lord loves her, the Demon King secretly loves her, and everyone in the Celestial Palace respects her….

And she… she’s not only talented, she’s also more beautiful than I? Even those maids under her never treated me with respect….

“Keeper-Zun, I was wrong, I know my fault, please forgive me.” Climbing up to the old senior’s leg and clinging onto it, “I am simply too jealous of Bai Yan, that’s why I didn’t dare tell you any of those things. You know me, you know I’m not the scheming type, I really didn’t mean to…”

If it was in the past then the kind Keeper would surely believe her lies, but the little tidbit about her not being the scheming type only infuriating him even further.

Seeing her false plea having no effect on Zun, the old witch instead turns to Keeper Ling as her last resort: “Please Keeper Ling, you always doted me the most, you wouldn’t really hurt me would you?”

“Scram!” Returning from his initial painful look, the grumpy Keeper directly kicks the woman away so that she wouldn’t touch him.

Love and pain always go hand in hand. The more the love, the more the pain. He’s fond of Yun Ruo Xi that’s true, but that’s only under the premise of her being the savior. Furthermore, he didn’t know her true face to be so vile and disgusting, which only impacted him all that much more. Heck, it’s a wonder he hasn’t slain the old witch by now, that’s how much humiliation and hurt this old senior felt inside.

Feeling the hurt after being ruthlessly kicked away, Yun Ruo Xi hurries to scan the area in a circle for help. However, what she found wasn’t the familiar eyes of those who cared for her, rather it’s the strange glares of anger and disgust. In that instant, the woman only felt humor and mockery as she cried out those tears.

So all they ever cared about is my status as the savior, the owner of the amulet? They never once cared about me as a person? So that’s a thousand years’ worth of time with them is worth, nothing! I see how it is now!

“Haha,” she murmurs a laugh like she’s finally resigned to her own fate. Turning to Bai Yan who’s still inside that pillar of light, the old witch burns with jealousy once again, “Bai Yan, you really shouldn’t have come back, you never should have. But… don’t think you’ve won everything. Take a good look around, look at these people from the Celestial Palace and their faces, they are the ones who murdered you a thousand years ago and now demands your help!”
