81 The Necromancer and the Priestess 15 (2/2)

”What are you all doing? Is the food not to your tastes?” She asked with a cool voice, and they all shook their heads as quickly as possible, immediately shoveling the food down their mouths, to the point that Arthur almost choked.

But thankfully, his sacrifice caused the air to go back to normal, and everyone started chatting again, though their voices were much quieter than before.

Yin Mei had already shut down the surveillance, her mind filled with the ways that she would punish that girl later. And also El. Though her priorities had changed, she still didn't forget that she would need to thoroughly scold that guy for running away.

Meanwhile, in the demon world, El had dead fish eyes as he was being annoyed for the nth time by this girl. He would have gotten rid of her already, if only she wasn't the daughter of the demon king. It was already difficult enough breaking their engagement - god knows how many excuses and extra work he had needed to do so.

But she was stubbornly continuing to bother him, even though the only reason that he had gotten engaged with her was due to her status. But now that he had his Celes back in the human world, of course he would break things off. But she just wouldn't get the hint.

”Azazel! Are you even listening to me?” Eve said, feeling upset inside. After all, before, Azazel would always treat her like a princess. But ever since he returned from the human realm, he had completely disregarded her.

”No,” El answered with a cold voice, shocking Eve. She burst into tears, running off, but El didn't bother with her.

He was currently still researching how to open the demon bridge, how could he have time to comfort an idiot girl who didn't understand etiquette?

It had already been a year since he had last seen Celes. Was she doing well? Since he wasn't there, he was constantly worried about her health, or if any flies were buzzing around her. He hated the fact that it had been necessary for him to return to the demon world - if he had a choice, he definitely would have stayed. But his original body had gotten too weak from being sealed up for thousands of years. The only solution was to just open up the demon bridge as soon as possible, in order to reunite with Celes.

Back to Yin Mei, she was casually sitting on top of a boulder, dutifully polishing her sword, as the people around her fought off a group of monster. Rosella shouted out orders, and blood, magic, and arrows flew all around them.

She admired her handiwork, as a dark spell from a monster flew to her. Alex, the rookie, was about to shout out in surprise in warning, but the spell dissipated as it hit a barrier, which glimmered gold for a moment before becoming invisible again.

He gaped in amazement, but was snapped back to attention by a monster flying toward him. ”Get your act together and focus!” Ryan shouted, and the boy winced but quickly put up his sword to block the claws that swiped down at him.

Yin Mei swung her sword a few times, whistling a happy tune as she imagined it slicing up that silver haired girl. Just because she was a little pretty, she thought she could get El's attention? Yin Mei's sinister laugh and smile sent chills down the backs of everyone present. Someone please tell them what in the world had angered their leader so much. Today and tomorrow both, just look at that murderous aura she was leaking out!

When the battle was finished, the party members pushed and whispered at each other. ”You go ask her!”

”No, you ask! Do I look like I'm suicidal?”

It was to the point that even Yin Mei noticed something was wrong, feeling very irritated at the whispers that were being exchanged.

They finally pushed the rookie Alex forward, who was pale faced and nervous sweating. But, since he had yet to experience the true terror that was called Yin Mei. In other words, he had neither seen her in action, nor experienced her training. So he gathered up his courage to ask what was upsetting her.

Yin Mei smiled sweetly in response, terrifying the other kids. ”No, I'm just a little angry at someone who did something they shouldn't have.”

Immediately, the other kids all rushed in, speaking all at once. ”Who is this b*stard? Leader, just say the word and we'll definitely teach them a lesson!”

”Let's kidnap them and teach them not to mess with the leader!”

They stared at her with sparkling eyes, waiting for her verdict.

”Maybe next time,” Yin Mei replied. That person was in the demon world, what in the world could they do right now? They would have to wait for the demon bridge to open, or figure out some other discreet way to go there before being able to do anything.

Everyone put on disappointed expressions. Would they have to continue dealing with the leader's intense murderous aura until she could vent her anger out? No way! They wouldn't be able to survive that way.

They needed to quickly get her mind off things! The result was that the group members all sucked up to her and treated her like royalty... like they normally did anyways.

... Yin Mei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
