Chapter 321 - Working Hard (part-3) (1/2)

Ryuu did not know what to think about everything that happened a few hours ago as such he sat in front of his mother's grave as he looked at it intently at that he did not know what to think about everything that happened he felt numb about it, on one hand they saved him raised him but then again the betrayal against their own flesh and blood it seemed blasphemous to him, yet it did happen.

He felt at a loss about what he should do as he mulled about the grand exposure of the past he had heard which made his head spin.

Ryuu looked at his teacher Nuwa the strong and stern woman was nearly hyperventilating as he looked at the worried look of many others as he something in him snapped, as he shouted out, ”Stop spouting out lie you damn bastard.”

The woman simply smiled at Ryuu which infuriated him even further as he vanished with a cry as if he teleported causing the woman's grin to widen as a scorching hot flaming sword stopped mere inches from her face as she looked at Ryuu's face as she spoke with nostalgic tone in her voice, ”Till the same hot headed as always.”, she then looked up at the draconic silhouette as she continued, ”Oh seems like you have in your anger managed to open a sliver of his second set of eyes, but I should warn you trying to do any further by force would detrimental to your health and as for me being a bastard well my parents were happily married till they were murdered whom you help me avenged.”

Ryuu struggled to move it seemed as if something had paralyzed him completely he could not move even a single muscle while he floated in front of her as he let out a snarl, causing the woman to growl in return, ”Beloved, stop glaring me with those yes otherwise I will simply gouged them out.”, a bout of killing intent doused any and all anger that Ryuu felt as reality crashed on him.

Maheswara sighed as he rubbed his forehead as he spoke, ”Fellow Daoist would you be kind enough to release him, I believe he needs to rest a bit as his training was a bit tiring.”

The woman in question turned towards her as she sneered at Maheswara as she spoke, ”Fellow Daoist!? You filth worm you are not worthy of breathing the same air such as I and now you are trying to compare me to you.”

At that everyone tensed as Ryuu could feel the everyone's aura was starting to climb but the stopped themselves so as not to injure him accidently, as Megara spoke with a gulp, ”Excuse me Senior may I be impudent enough to inquire how we should address you.”

The woman gazed at her as she spoke in rather haughty tone, ”At least one of you have manners, well you may refer to me by my title as Her Highness or Your Majesty or you can simply call me Empress as my true is meant for my beloved only when he remembers me.”

Ryuu rolled his eyes at that as he snorted in his mind, 'Can this woman can be any more vain.'

Empress looked at him with a pitying glance as she spoke, ”Beloved try to protect your thoughts a bit even a deaf could hear you from thousand miles away specially when you are thinking ill of me.”

Ryuu blanched at that as he spoke with indignation, ”You are reading my mind.”

Empress tilted her head as she replied to him, ”Why would I not there should be no secret between us love.”

Before anyone could retort the shadow rose as it engulfed Ryuu as it vanished with him as the woman face twisted into an angry snarl as her fury shook Ayindril as everyone tackled her only for her to vanish from sigh as if she was mirage.

”Where is that woman? How did she enter here?”, Neaera could not help but question her one time close friend and sister in all but blood Veena but before they could speak a melodious voice came from behind them.

”Next time dear try not to get between me and my beloved.”, as they turned they were greeted by a horrifying sight of the Empress standing behind Shamiran with her hand coming out of Shamiran's chest with a still beating heart held in her hand and before anyone could react she crushed it to pulp and as she removed her hand from her body Shamiran collapsed on the floor, as the woman disappeared with a giggle.

As others dashed towards her a shadow at the corner of the room spat out Ryuu who looked towards his third older sister as he gained a horrified look on her face.

Veena quickly checked her as her face turned pale, ”That blasted woman did something to her, she has not only she has become unconscious but her KI is completely erratic she is not able to heal from her injuries like this everyone get out and give me some space, Nuwa, Celestia you two stay back and help me.”

The others quickly left the room giving them some space as they waited outside with baited silence which was soon broken by Menelaos who spoke in a serious tone, ”Maheswara who is that woman?”

Maheswara sighed as he rubbed his forehead, 'I am sighing a lot nowadays not to mention it seems I gained a few grey hairs', he took a deep breath as he spoke, ”A woman who claims to be Ryuu's Dao companion from some distant previous birth and she has been following him through every reincarnation of him.”

Neaera spoke curiously at that, ”So I do not see what is her problem if she is in love I do not see why you are not giving them you blessing than all this drama would not take place.”
