Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!-Chapter 156 : First Time
Xu Shan was quite surprised to hear that the Divine Queen was Yunxi's sister. However, he didn't even have the time to ask anything when she told him her request to kill the Divine Queen.
This thing became more complicated for him. He knew that her identity wasn't simple, especially when the guards behaved at the entrance of the City. However, he never expected her identity to be so unique, which raised even more questions.
If this girl was the sister of the Queen, who ruled over most of the Divine Realm, then why were her guards so weak?
Even outer members of the Shadow Temple were able to kill her guards, which shouldn't have happened.
"Why do you want to kill your own sister? And why should I help you? Isn't it easier for me to steal the Lotus, compared to fighting and killing? Why would I take your help?"
Xu Shan had so many questions in his mind, especially regarding the new identity of the woman.
Yunxi shrugged. "You can try. However, you will never get the Celestial Lotus without my help. Also, even if you somehow found your way in, but you won't be able to steal it, since my sister probably keeps it with her. The only way to get it back would be to..."
"...to kill her," Xu Shan finished her sentence.
"That's right," Yunxi nodded. Her gaze lowered, resting on her faded Star Mark. "kill her."
"With my knowledge, and your skills, you might stand a chance. If you kill her, we both get what we want. Isn't that a win-win situation?" she asked. be𝚍𝚗𝚘ve𝚕.c𝚘𝚖
"And how are you sure that I'll be able to kill her? Just because I killed a few assassins? You should know that your sister would be nowhere as weak as them." Xu Shan knew how hard it was to fight people like her.
It was too much work, and it carried too much risk. He didn't like doing things where he wasn't hundred percent convinced of success.
In his mind, fighting the Queen in a straightforward manner was foolish and risky. It was even more dangerous when done in the Central Capital.
"You can forget about the Celestial Lotus then. And I will forget about my goals. I waited for so long. I can wait even longer. But you...can you afford to wait? Within a few weeks, she would use the Celestial Lotus. It will be gone forever."
The girl lazily sat, as if ending the conversation right there. She wasn't the only one who wanted this. Moreover, she knew that Xu Shan needed it more. He was in a race against time, unlike her.
"Tell me everything you know about your sister and why you want her dead." Xu Shan didn't show any urgency. In his mind, the girl next to him was too young to scheme against him.
At worst, he could just search his soul to get all the knowledge that she held. However, if possible, he wanted to avoid that, since she could potentially be of more help. First, he needed to see just how much help she could be.
"Why do I hate her..." Yunxi repeated, but she didn't speak. However, Xu Shan noticed that her eyes subconsciously fell to her faded Celestial Mark.
He was about to speak, but before he could say anything, the Maid spoke, "We are there."
She opened the door, being the first to step out to check the surroundings. It was only after she made sure that it was safe, she called Yunxi out.
Yunxi stepped out, but as she walked past Xu Shan, a single sentence came out of her mouth. "She took everything from me, and I want her life in return!"
"I feel like we're caught in some family feud." Xinren told Xu Shan.
"I feel the same," Xu Shan agreed. "However, this might be beneficial in the end."
He stepped out of the Carriage. The mansion where the carriage stopped was big, and covered a large area. However, compared to the various clans he saw along the way, this really appeared very small.
This Clan was established in the Eastern end of the city, far away from the central zone where most of the big clans in the city were established.
In fact, the clan didn't appear to be in good condition either. There was only one guard at the entrance, and even he appeared to be asleep. No one was here to welcome Yunxi.
The maid opened the door of the clan. It was only now that the guard woke up from the creaking noise.
"Who are you?" he asked. His eyes revealed confusion as he didn't recognise Yunxi or the others. Also, there were rarely times when guests visited.
"State your purpose!"
"I'm home," Yunxi responded with a calm smile. "I'm here to meet my Grandfather."
"Who is your Grandfather?" The guard asked, frowning. He remembered all heirs of the clan. However, he never saw Yunxi.
"Your Patriarch," Yunxi stated as she stepped inside.
The guard was taken aback. He still tried to stop her, only to stop when he felt the cold blood of the maid against his throat.
"Your guard didn't recognise you. How long has it been since you last came here?" Xu Shan followed the little girl.
"It's the first time I'm coming here since I was born," Yunxi answered. "My mother lived in this place all her life, until she met my father and left with him."
"She thought it would be a beautiful life. Little did she know..." Yunxi stopped mid sentence. She took a deep breath, calming her emotions. It was rare that she lost her emotions.
"First time in your life? Let me guess, your sister kicked you out?" Xu Shan asked, taking a random guess.
Being assigned such weak guards, being sent to this desolate clan, and the hatred in Yunxi's heart. It all signaled only one thing.
Yunxi glanced back at him but she neither confirmed nor denied.
