Chapter 1724 - “Outer Domain (1)” (1/2)

“Okay, I will stay here too until you’re finished.” Bai Xiachen happily said, his big bright eyes shining with life.

……

Inside a rustic study room, a man dressed in a long black robe has been staring out the window with a dark gloomy face, the air around him oppressive and suffocating due to the foul events thus far.

“Monarch.” A maid stepped forward from the doorway and respectfully bowed, “Miss Yun Rou Xi seeks an audience.”

The man frowned after hearing that name, “Let her in then.”

“Yes Monarch,” the maid complied and left.

Moments later.

“Greetings Monarch…” Yun Ruo Xi properly bowed her head in a respectful manner, her tone submissive and soft.

“Were you in the Celestial Realm recently?” The man’s indifferent and gloomy voice sent a shudder down the lady’s spine, causing her white dress to flutter so slightly due to the vibration.

Not dumb enough to think she could hide the fact, Yun Ruo Xi decides to spill the truth. “Yes Monarch, I did go back to the Celestial Realm. I wanted to help deal with the Demon Realm, please forgive me.”

The man finally turned around and stopped using his back to face her, “If something happens to you, I won’t save you a second time.”
