Chapter 352: The Attack of the Demon Lord【Third Update】
As Zhu Yanqing reminisced about Qin Jun, a woman in white came strolling along, causing petals by the roadside to lift into the air and circle around her, as if she was the spirit of the flowers itself, approaching Zhu Yanqing like a fairy.
"Junior Sister, what are you thinking about?"
The woman in white asked with a smile, her voice ethereal, stirring fanciful thoughts, a pity that she wore a veil, obscuring her face from view, yet her eyes were beautiful, with a speck of red cinnabar between her brows.
Zhu Yanqing looked back at her, then averted her gaze, nonchalantly murmuring, "Nothing much."
"You’re thinking about the Qin Emperor, aren’t you?" the woman in white approached Zhu Yanqing.
"Listen to your senior sister, that man has committed too many killings, and as an emperor, he’s certainly not a good match for you. You are the Spiritual Girl of the Saint Sect, with countless ages waiting for you, why obsess over him?" The woman in white said calmly as she took a seat, her tone so even as if speaking of something trivial.
Zhu Yanqing stared at the woman in white and spoke earnestly, "Senior Sister Mo, have you seen the green grass beside the barren mountain streams, or witnessed the bustling streets of the kingdom, do you know the smiles of the common people?"
The woman known as Senior Sister Mo was taken aback by the question and reflexively retorted, "What’s there to see in these?"
Zhu Yanqing shook her head with a wry smile, her gaze drifting to the setting sun, her eyes softening as she whispered, "Eternal life is not everyone’s pursuit, and the ordinary is not to be scorned. Though he is but the emperor of a kingdom, the man I adore is him alone, not the noble sons of the Saint Dynasty, nor the braves among the Five Warriors and Nine Honored Ones."
Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Mo’s eyes widened in anger, having taken such a roundabout way, yet this girl still hadn’t forgotten the Qin Emperor!
"Hmph, you will understand in time," Senior Sister Mo huffed, thinking secretly, "That lad has attracted the attention of the Heaven-Flattening Demon Sovereign, and you’re likely never to see him again."
