Chapter 1086: Uninvited Guest
"My lord, are you all right?"
The Empress of Liuli hurried to Shuten-dōji’s side, asking with concern.
"Scram!"
Gone was the genteel and easygoing demeanor he had shown at their first meeting. In a fit of rage, Shuten-dōji flung the Empress of Liuli away with a wave of his hand, clearly showing he held no regard for her, despite her high standing in the Liuli Country.
Chiyomiko frowned slightly as she watched the scene unfold. Although she had completely lost faith in the Liuli royal family, there was still a hundred-year-old bond between the Shrine and the Liuli royalty.
The Empress of Liuli picked herself up, somewhat disheveled, but seemed utterly unconcerned with Shuten-dōji’s action and her own injuries. She quickly approached again, saying, "My lord, please do not be angry. It must be some despicable trick used by that Xia Country boy, otherwise how could he possibly injure you?"
"Despicable?"
Shuten-dōji’s gaze fell once more on the golden characters, and the next moment a strong backlash came directly at him, causing Shuten-dōji to spit out another mouthful of blood.
Shuten-dōji had no choice but to avert his eyes, daring no longer to let his gaze linger on the golden characters.
Any previous discontent and doubt had vanished in the face of the backlash from the golden characters. Having experienced the golden characters’ retaliation firsthand, Shuten-dōji knew all too well that, if the characters were conscious, they could easily suppress him without effort!
Yet these words seemed not to be under Su Chengyu’s control. They merely protected his side, preventing others from getting close.
