Chapter 1494 “Turns Out, They’re the Idiots (2)”
Isn’t that funny?
Keeper Zun did not hold back the self-mocking laughter inside of himself after that thought. When looking over to Yun Ruo Xi, his eyes are now entirely filled with disappointment and nothing more.
“Keeper Zun, you listen to me, it’s not like this…” The old witch panics and wants to defend herself. However, this poor image she’s trying to portray only deepens her guilty image.
“If you want us to believe in you again then it’s possible. If you can hold onto the amulet then we will.”
Hearing this from the senior brought a flicker of hope to the woman’s eye. She knows All Heaven wouldn’t give a reaction to her possession so she’s assuming the amulet wouldn’t resist her either. Whatever the case may be, this deceitful old witch had no other choice but to push on. Bringing her broken body up from the ground, Yun Ruo Xi staggers forward in a frantic manner for the only chance laid before her eyes.
Bai Yan didn’t hold the other side in her view though despite what’s drawing closer, she’s too immersed in her own world right now.
“Stop right there!” Bai Ning wasn’t as unfazed as her own daughter though. The lady flew into a rage at what’s happening and wanted to push the other side away. However, in truth, she did not need to do anything because a gush of light poured out of the amulet and rocketed the old witch out.
Imagine that. Yun Ruo Xi had already been poisoned and injured from the repeated blows from the past, now she’s being forced to bear another blow from All Heaven. No matter how resistant this cockroach was, she’s not going to come out unscathed this time around.
Why?
Winger is like that, and now this amulet is like that too! Why is everyone abandoning me after Bai Yan returns?!
Sprawled onto the ground with blood continuing to pour out of her mouth, Yun Ruo Xi had nothing but despair plastered all over those eyes.
“You robbed my mother’s things before so now it’s considered rightfully returned.” Bai Xiachen chimes in, his big blue eyes sharp and daggering at the foolish one that’s on the ground. Despite his young age, the child’s already showing the signs of a king, similar to his old man’s there.
“Hoho,” the old goat also speaks up knowing what everyone was thinking and questioning, “All Heaven is not a dead object or mortal item. Before it went into slumber because my mistress was not around, and now that she’s returned it’s only normal for the amulet to awaken. Also….” He pauses, turning to meet the old witch’s despairing gaze, “Before when my mistress gave you All Heaven, she wanted it to protect you so it did, but that doesn’t mean All Heaven doesn’t have a will of its own. When it saw the cruelty and backstabbing nature of your character after you betrayed my mistress, it stopped sheltering you and went into slumber. That’s what you get for repaying my mistress’s kindness with evil. You deserve every bit of karma you get!”
It’s exactly like Dragon Flame said. All those years ago when Bai Yan and Yun Ruo Xi were still good friends, the amulet did do its part in sheltering the old witch with its miraculous powers. However, that all changed once it saw the fox cub being skinned alive by the old witch. Afterwards, the amulet went into a deep silencing slumber, refusing to activate itself again until this day.
Freezing over the truth being pointed out, Yun Ruo Xi flew into a rage of her own. Without a care anymore for her own image, she disgustingly snarls back at the old goat like it’s some kind of joke: “She treating me well? If she treated me well then why did she not have that old coot take me in as a disciple? All she had to do was say a word and that’s all! Why are all the good things taken over by her and I’m left with nothing!” Pausing as a huge cough overtakes her throat, the old witch seemingly overexerted herself in that rant, “If she is nice to me then why is she taking the amulet back? She gave it to me so it’s mine now! Why should I return it just because she deems it so? If I didn’t scheme in delaying it then she would’ve snatched it back months ago!”
