Chapter 771: The Pain of Loved Ones
Chi Ye opened his eyes only after feeling the dragon's breath completely merge into Bai Shuang's body.
Faced with Qingzhu's concern, Chi Ye's face showed no extra expression. He simply said in a slow voice, "Baishuang is not only my follower, but also my relative."
"Even if it wasn't Bai Shuang lying here today, but you, or A Zi, or Ling, I would still make the same decision."
Qingzhu was taken aback at first, then looked at Baishuang, who was covered in wounds on the bed, and her eyes couldn't help but redden.
Yes, although they are all His Highness the Holy Emperor's attendants, they are also family members who have shared meals, enjoyed the scenery, and huddled together for warmth over the years.
Chi Ye walked out of the room and asked Qing Zhu, who was following behind him, with a blank expression: "Besides the seriously injured Bai Shuang, what is the condition of the other injured demon guards?"
Qingzhu suppressed her grief and said, word by word, "Your Highness, a total of ten personal guards were sent this time. Three of them were seriously injured, and the other seven... died from their injuries!"
Chi Ye exhaled lightly, and a gust of wind swept in, making her red hair fly wildly, but it could not hide the killing intent in her eyes.
She lost seven demon warriors... those were seven precious lives!
How could she possibly quell this hatred, this resentment?!
The hand resting on the railing was gripped so tightly that the knuckles turned a pale white.
At this moment, a demon guard strode up to Chi Ye, knelt down, and presented what he was holding: "Your Majesty, this is the robe that Protector Bai Shuang wore when she was injured. It still contains spiritual energy that does not belong to Protector Bai Shuang!"
Chi Ye took the blood-stained robe and examined it briefly, easily discovering a trace of dark spiritual energy on it.
She wasn't mistaken... this was Li Yuan's dark spiritual energy!
Qingzhu stared at the robe in Chiye's hand, her eyes bloodshot: "Your Highness! It was that great demon Liyuan who caused Baishuang to be seriously injured! And caused the deaths of seven soldiers!"
"Even if... even if you are determined to protect Miss Ye, you cannot forget the lives of these fallen compatriots because of the relationship between Miss Ye and Li Yuan!"
"They are all innocent! Your Highness... We must avenge them!"
Every word Qingzhu spoke seemed to be stained with blood, causing Chi Ye's killing intent to surge wildly.
In order to completely eliminate the fire poison from Li Yuan's body so that he could better protect Fei, she even sent Bai Shuang to search for the whereabouts of the Qiu Yu Ancestor...
But in the end, Bai Shuang ended up like this!
How ironic! How utterly ironic!
Chi Ye covered his head in unbearable pain, his golden eyes beneath his fingertips filled with deep sorrow: "It's all my fault..."
If she hadn't let Bai Shuang go to Qiu Yu Ancestor back then, he wouldn't be lying weakly in bed now!
Qingzhu supported Chiye, her voice filled with overwhelming rage: "This is not Your Highness's fault! It's Li Yuan! It's Li Yuan who is ungrateful! We've all forgotten that Li Yuan is inherently cruel and cold-blooded; only he could sit on the throne of the Demon Lord!"
"Your Highness, we cannot allow our loved ones to suffer while our enemies rejoice! Please give the order—order the pursuit and killing of Li Yuan!"
Chi Ye gritted his teeth.
Scarlet... Scarlet!
You are the person I am determined to protect, but the one you love has caused my relatives to be seriously injured, my soldiers to die, and left me in such deep grief!
Hatred and grief filled Chi Ye's mind. She slammed her fist heavily on the fence, her voice carrying a terrifying, chilling edge:
"All soldiers, listen to my command!"
"Tomorrow, follow me to the Demon Realm to hunt down Demon Lord Li Yuan!"
