Chapter 781: She Betrayed the Venerable One
Thorn chuckled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "Why?"
He surveyed the chaotic scene, the blood staining his already vivid crimson eyes even more alluring: "Because I want to take revenge on Li Yuan."
Yu Muhan's mouth gaped open in astonishment, and it took him a while to find his voice: "You...you destroyed Lingxiao City just to get revenge on Li Yuan?"
"There are so many demons in Lingxiao City, aren't you your own kind? Why are you killing each other?!"
Thorn chuckled coldly, then reached out and grabbed Yu Muhan's chin, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze.
Therefore, Yu Muhan easily saw the undisguised hatred and resentment in his eyes: "Li Yuan, as the ruler of the Demon Realm, could only helplessly watch as the most important capital of the Demon Realm was slaughtered, and tens of thousands of demon people lost their lives—I want him to be despised by his own subjects, I want him... to step down from the position of ruler!"
Yu Muhan's eyes darted around, and in a daze, he seemed to understand something: "You want to seize the throne?"
Thorn smiled and released the girl, gracefully adjusting her sleeves: "You can think of it that way."
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Jiang Bai not far away. A strange light flashed in his eyes. He took a few steps back and put one arm around the waist of "Ye Fei" beside him.
...
By the time Bai arrived in Lingxiao City, it was already too late.
The entire Lingxiao City was shrouded in a thick purple mist, and the ground was littered with countless demon corpses.
Some of the corpses were not completely decomposed, with only half of their bodies showing as skeletons. They stared blankly at the gray sky, their expressions wooden.
Everywhere his gaze fell, there were no survivors.
This place is like a purgatory, with only the smell of blood and the wandering souls in the air, and not a trace of life!
Bai opened his eyes wide, his pupils trembling with shock and grief.
Lingxiao City... how did it become like this?
Just then, he saw a familiar aura in the center of the city. He activated his spiritual energy to protect himself from the poisonous fog and rushed towards it without hesitation.
However, the scene before him made him freeze in shock!
Thorn embraced the red-robed girl's soft body with one arm, and spoke to her gently in a low voice.
As Bai approached, the girl in the red robe happened to turn her face—
Bai was shocked: "...The Empress?!"
The girl raised her long eyelashes and glanced at Jiang Bai. Without saying a word, she wrapped her arms around Jingji's neck, pressed her lips to his bewitching face, and planted a kiss on it.
He stared blankly, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
No words are needed to explain everything; a single action is enough to prove their relationship!
"My Fei, you are so passionate..." Thorn chuckled softly, saying this while bringing his face close to the girl's neck and sniffing lightly. He glanced at Bai's reaction while sticking out his crimson tongue and licking her skin.
Such an alluring posture, such ambiguous words...
Bai was so angry that he trembled all over. It turned out that Ye Fei had been having an affair with Jing Ji all along!
That despicable woman... she betrayed His Majesty!!!
Yu Muhan wanted to explain to Jiang Bai, but an irresistible force sealed her throat, preventing her from making a sound!
She frantically covered her mouth, her gaze instinctively turning to the thorns—it was him! He was the one who wouldn't let her speak!
Jingji seemed oblivious to Yu Muhan's gaze, reaching out to stroke "Ye Fei's" face and softly saying, "My Fei, once everything has settled down, let's go and have some fun, okay?"
