Chapter 97.2: Overbearing Bright Palace
Qi Yuan knew nothing of the turmoil in the royal palace. At that moment, he had entered the game world again, his face bright with joy.
With his soul now in the late stage Foundation Establishment realm, he no longer required Ning Tao's external pull. Regardless, instead of venturing out, he first returned to the underground palace beneath Skyheart Palace.
Not far away, Ning Tao opened her eyes. "You're awake?”
The half of her face, not hidden by her black veil, was as stunning as a plum blossom in snow. Her gaze, however, lingered warily on the crimson Demonic Egg bound by eighteen chains.
The egg has transformed into a mass of blood-red flesh, as though something unspeakably powerful was gestating within. It pulsed like a living heart, radiating dreadful energy.
"Ning Tao, can I ask you something?" Qi Yuan asked.
Her phoenix eyes shimmered playfully, albeit the way he called her clearly annoyed her. "Of course, my husband.”
The black gown clung to her graceful figure. Her waist was slender enough to grasp, and her bare legs were faintly visible beneath the thin gauze. She was pale and flawless, almost mesmerizing.
"Who is the greatest villain in this world?" Qi Yuan asked. He wanted to know who the final boss was.
Ning Tao laughed softly. "You jest, my husband. If you seek villains, we the thirteen Northern Demons are irredeemable enough."
A trace of bitter irony glinted in her eyes.
Qi Yuan paused. "Can I see the other half of your face?"
