Chapter 361 - Revenge (1/2)
”I had my doubts” Yan Mei admitted calmly, but her body remained tensed, ready for anything
”Since when?” the voice sounded disappointed and Yan Mei felt an odd satisfaction at having outwitted her on that ground
”The moment in the kitchen, I thought I sensed demonic energy but it faded away so fast I thought it was me, plus the speed with which you batted that water away.” She pointed out as she eyed her
”So you knew?” The demon continued unable to hide her anger at being found out so easily, it was obvious she had planned a big reveal complete with blind hysteria but Yan Mei's reaction had punctured her ego.
”I actually thought it was a demon possession, not this,” she gestured in front of her
”It's such a pity that your father has been protecting you for all this while, if not I would have long destroyed you. That protection was particularly clever, I couldn't harm you myself but nothing was stopping me from burning your world down around you.” She answered viciously, her words aimed at drawing blood
It took a minute for the words to sink in before she reached the heart-wrenching conclusion ”no” she gasped
”Yes, how did it feel to be thrown in the streets Yan Mei ” she taunted
”No” Yan Mei protested, unable to keep the tears from her eyes this time, her hands coating along her stomach in a move reminiscent of a long time ago
”And that precious baby, that anguish fed me for years.” The creature crowed, there was no mistaking it's malevolent joy
”No,” Yan Mei shook her head, unable to understand why unwilling to accept the stark truth in her face. She had thought she was beyond this pain, here she was, broken all over again.
”Is that all you have to say? You should thank daddy dear for your problems, if he had simply taken his demon mate instead of sleeping with a human we wouldn't be here” the creature taunted, sounding supremely bored.
”No no no”
”Look what he made me do” the words were followed with a smirk
”Yue Yan why?”
”You're not exactly bright, are you? I'm not Yue Yan , I've never been”
”But Lei Zhao ....” She never got to finish her sentence.
