Chapter 571 - See Him Suffer While Alive (1/2)
”Your Majesty.” The demon that Qiu Ling had let go cleared his throat and pulled Jin Ling out of his thoughts.
The demon king opened his eyes and smiled, part charming, part melancholic. Ah, why was he still thinking of him? Jinde … Their time together … That was long past. Now, there was nothing left of it but regrets and reproach.
”What is it?”
”Uh …” The demon gulped. Somehow, his king's face didn't look right. Furthermore … Excuse him, but had his king missed the spectacle over there? Wasn't it obvious that the dragons were on their way over? ”The dragon king …
”What's with him?”
”He invaded our territories and started slaughtering our people. We tried holding him back but … he's terribly enraged and we couldn't even scratch him up till now. He said to deliver a message to you.”
”Oh?” Jin Ling turned around to the man and his half-smile turned back into the charming one the demons knew him with.
The demon hurriedly nodded. ”Yes, he said that if something happened to his beloved, then he would flatten our whole realm.”
”Mn. I wonder if he has that ability.” Jin Ling turned back to watch the dragons roaring in the sky.
Actually, it didn't sound too bad. Flattening a kingdom to take revenge for your beloved, that was. Unfortunately, the one who had killed the person he loved had been his own father and he had already been killed by that person in return. Who was he supposed to take revenge on now?
The only one that was still there was Qiu Ling so … he would make sure he didn't have a good life. That man's child, the proof that he had betrayed Jinde and broken his heart, something like that couldn't be allowed to exist in this world. He had to vent Jinde's anger for him, slowly torture him and then kill him off. That would be his revenge for Jinde. Maybe then … he would forgive him for falling in love with him.
Jin Ling chuckled lightly. ”Well, then I guess we should go and talk to him. Negotiations are very important in this kind of situation.”
He said so but instead of hurrying to the battleground, he turned around and went back into the palace.
The demon that had delivered Qiu Ling's message stood there dumbly. What now? Could his task be considered to be done? So … Should he go back? But that crazy dragon king would certainly kill him if he did. Then should he follow his own king? Ah, but his king also seemed strange today.
In the end, he still returned to the battlefield. Maybe he would be able to impress his king when he displayed his willingness to put his life on the line in the fight against the dragon king.
