Chapter 1475 Self-Humiliation 4 ” (1/2)

All in all, what Bai Ning did just now was all no more than a front, a fake but well thought out front that was also quite risky. But then again, she didn’t have a choice considering all she had to work with.

So what if she beat Keeper Ling? Surely the Celestial Palace would bring in the other Keepers afterwards, what then? Obviously nothing. One person of her caliber wouldn’t be able to contend with that many. She’s proud and courageous, not foolish and blind.

Of course, if the worst-case scenario occurred and Keeper Ling stuck around then obviously the woman here would fight to the end. Fortunately it didn’t and things worked out fine. There’s no person in this world who wasn’t afraid of death, its just a matter of are they prepared to meet their end for their goal.

There was a long pause after the news, followed by a burst of ecstasy in the hearts of these old Keepers. Apparently the joy had overshadowed the other part about the poison.

“There’s a princess in the Demon Realm…. Then does that mean Ruo Xi can be saved?”
