"Don’t think that I don’t know your schemes. You want to seduce His Majesty and my brother. Such a scheming bastard, I want you to taste the consequences of your foolish behavior." Run Chu’s nails scratched Di Xiuyu’s face fiercely.
"This face of yours, pretending to be innocent but beneath it lie despicable schemes." She threw her to the wall, using her spiritual power to strike Di Xiuyu’s face fiercely.
"Run Chu, today you hurt me, I’ll make you pay back a thousand times later!" Di Xiuyu spat out a mouthful of blood, yet despite her miserable state, she didn’t back down and sneered coldly. There was no fear or hatred in her eyes, only calmness.
A person who showed anger and hatred was not as terrifying as one who remained calm amidst a storm. That type of person was the most dangerous.
"Do you think that I’ll let you get out alive?" Run Chu laughed maliciously.
"Kill me if you can. Pah!" Di Xiuyu spat out blood at Run Chu’s face. She secretly released poison, intending to kill Run Chu, but Run Jue’s sharp eyes caught her.
He rushed over and held her wrist. "What do you think you’re doing?"
His grip was tight, almost breaking her fragile wrist.
"This seductress wants to poison me?" Run Chu’s slender eyes narrowed.
Di Xiuyu chuckled. "Run Jue, did you forget who saved you?"
Run Jue, who was about to kill her, suddenly paused. His pupils turned bloody red with struggle.
"When did this bitch save you, brother?" Run Chu glanced at him.
"I had an accident at the Abyssal Throne Ruins. I was poisoned by the Demonic Swan. She rescued and cured my poison." Run Jue was afraid that his sister would misunderstand him, so he eagerly explained. His expression was panicked. He clutched her sleeve pitifully.
Run Chu frowned and stared at him.
"I was ordered by the Demon Emperor to protect her safety. I never wanted to get close to her." Run Jue’s eyes reddened like he was being bullied. In fact, he wanted to gain his sister’s sympathy.
"Are you blaming His Majesty?" Run Chu’s soft expression turned cold immediately.
"No, sister, I am not." Run Jue lowered his head as if he knew he was wrong.
No one noticed it, but Shenlian Yingyue did. She saw that his face held a twisted expression of jealousy and gloom when Run Chu mentioned Shen Xian.
Shenlian Yingyue shook her head, looking left and right. What was she even doing here? She didn’t understand what role she should be playing in this plot.
{Be quiet if you don’t want to be targeted by her.} Yao advised her, his voice ringing in her head.
She was a bit surprised that he warned her instead of ignoring her. Her expression was unreadable.
She felt someone coming closer, and it turned out to be the cloaked demon whose appearance she couldn’t see. "Do I know you?"
"You," Yasha, the cloaked demon, wanted to say something to her, but before his voice could reach her, Run Chu suddenly walked over.
Shi Ji watched with amusement, Yao’s expression was unreadable, and Yasha’s body stiffened slightly.
"You’re the same woman who possessed that thing. I remember you." Run Chu leaned over, her tall body towering over Shenlian Yingyue.
That thing? Did she mean the Bunny Goddess Mirror?
Run Jue: "..."
Everyone: "..."
"I know you like scheming. Others are afraid to tell you the truth, but girl, your scheme is a bit childish. You know your brother’s white lotus temper well, he likes to fake injustice, making himself look powerless to get your attention. You know it, yet you still punish those who get pulled into his games." Shenlian Yingyue’s tone was neither high nor low, fast nor slow. She wasn’t afraid to speak the truth, even if it meant attracting dissatisfaction.
"So what! He is my brother. I indulge him. Don’t you have a brother too?" Run Chu sneered, a possessive protective emotion appearing in her eyes.
Run Jue’s heart pounded. He obsessively looked at her. He liked hearing those words. But at the same time, he didn’t want to. He wanted to be her man, not her brother.
"My brother isn’t like this one who likes to fake weakness. He is a real man." She seriously thought about it and answered.
Run Jue’s jaw dropped. No one had ever scolded him like this. People feared his identity as a Demon King and his ability to silence them. Yet this woman, again and again, scolded him with a sincere expression.
"Pfftt!" Yao and Yasha chuckled in amusement.
Even the stoic Shi Ji couldn’t help but hold back the urge to twitch his lips.
They had never seen both siblings suffer like this. Look, their faces turned green and purple.
Di Xiuyu leaned weakly against the wall, gasping, yet she tried to keep herself awake to watch the two siblings’ suffering.
"Did you just say that I am not a real man?" Before Run Chu could speak, Run Jue pushed her away and held Shenlian Yingyue’s collar, shaking her body.
