Chapter 822: Unexpected People [The Giant Black Hole]
[Demon Realm, The Abyssal Throne Ruins]
Xiao Meng felt as if a dagger had been driven through her heart. Despite her years of loyalty to His Majesty, she had never felt the warmth of his affections.
Surrounded by a multitude of beautiful women and men in his harem, Shen Xian remained indifferent. No one, save for her, was privy to the truth that he never showed any interest in them.
He kept her close, valuing her talents, which she took as a sign that she held a special place in his heart. However, that illusion shattered when he took her to the Mortal Realm to seek the man named Tai Hua Lei, revealing that his heart belonged to another.
Now, with Di Xiuyu on the scene and His Majesty assigning one of his Demon Kings to ensure her safety, the jealousy boiled within Xiao Meng. The woman had been granted access to his secret chamber, spending the night there, a constant reminder of everything Xiao Meng despised.
No one could fathom what transpired between Di Xiuyu and the Demon Emperor, but in her mind’s eye, she envisioned the two entwined in an intimate embrace, sparks of fury igniting her insides.
"By the way, I don’t recall sneaking in here," Di Xiuyu taunted, a sly smile playing upon her lips, her gentle demeanor casting an unsettling shadow.
Indeed, driven by envy, Xiao Meng had schemed to draw Di Xiuyu away from the royal palace. Understanding mortals’ insatiable desires for power and wealth, she had spread rumors about a treasure hidden within the Abyssal Throne Ruins that would grant immeasurable strength.
She had followed Di Xiuyu to this very place, and when the unsuspecting woman reached the threshold of the Abyssal Throne Ruins, Xiao Meng had shoved her inside without hesitation.
