Chapter 1818 - Admiration (6)” (1/2)

Mu Gorgeous was technically half her shifu from a certain perspective so showing respect wasn’t strange. Taking to the knee, she makes three full kowtows like one should at a worshipping ceremony.

Bump!

Then at the final hit of her head against the ground, the tombstone slid to one side to reveal a hidden passageway.

Quite frankly, Bai Yan did have a momentary thought about this happening like all those drama shows she used to see as a child on Earth, but to have actually happen like in the scripts still left her dumbfounded.

This is real? It’s that easy?

Making a gobsmacking face, she did not know how to react to this stroke of luck aside from jumping up with glee.

Quickly gathering herself, the demon queen didn’t hesitate for a second and dived right into the hidden tunnel.

The passageway was bright once she got inside, the steps long and drawn out as she headed further downwards to god knows where. Despite the unknown, she knew its better than staying idle.

After a long while, Bai Yan finally came to the end of the stairs and hit a wall like before, this time with a long message engraved onto the surface.

“This life, Gorgeous is the one whom I cannot make mine. Years of war caused her to hate demons to the bone, and at the same time, caused her to hate me to the bone… I, the great king, truly never thought the day would come where I would fall heads over heels for such an arrogant and overbearing lass….

I do not know why I would love someone like her either, why her existence can occupy my heart to such a degree. I only know that in the moment where she stood under that peach blossom tree, that’s when this lass ensnared my heart. She wasn’t that clawing and feisty kitty anymore, but a quiet and enchanting butterfly in my soul.
