Chapter 868: Run Chu’s Conspiracy
"Do you know Concubine Run, Run Chu?" Di Xiuyu asked, noticing that Shenlian Yingyue was deliberately ignoring both her and the Demon King. She went straight to the point.
"No idea." Shenlian Yingyue responded nonchalantly. What does the Daughter of Destiny want now?
"But last time, I saw you talking to her." The young Demon King’s innocent eyes widened.
Shenlian Yingyue’s expression remained unchanged, though she doubted their motives. She had indeed spoken to Run Chu before, but it wasn’t a normal conversation; it was just one of Run Chu’s jealous and misunderstanding-filled episodes.
"I came here to remind you that she is plotting something terrible against you. You should be wary of her while you’re staying here," Di Xiuyu said, casually sitting down on a stone chair despite being an uninvited guest.
Shenlian Yingyue’s hands paused. It seemed Run Chu wouldn’t let her go easily, especially after being injured by the Bunny Goddess Mirror last time.
However, when she lifted her head and caught the cunning smile on Di Xiuyu’s face, she returned the smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes, "Di Xiuyu, thank you for your reminder. Here’s a reminder from me to you: The news that you were taken to the secret chamber by the Demon Emperor and that he sent a Demon King to protect you has spread everywhere."
Di Xiuyu’s smile faltered.
To put it simply, the one Run Chu would actually target was not Shenlian Yingyue but Di Xiuyu, the unknown woman who had seemingly received the Emperor’s ’favor.’
The young Demon King watched the two women’s interaction with interest. Sure enough, this antagonist deserves her reputation. She never suffers losses and always manages to turn the tables effortlessly.
"Please, keep your distance from me," Shenlian Yingyue politely requested to teenager who was watching the fun.
