Chapter 1440 “Secret of the Amulet (3)”1

“Something to do? What is there more important than me? Do you know how much I’ve been wronged in the Celestial Palace? That old fart Yu’s apprentice died, and now Yue Shishi is pinning the blame on my head without any evidence! Where were you at the time?!”

While yelling out her grievances, Yun Ruo Xi visibly shook across the body due to her own rage. Yet, the old witch apparently forgot something crucial, all this happened because of her own foul tongue and not anyone else.

Originally Winger still wanted to defend himself by explaining, but his sight soon noticed the patch of blood staining the woman’s chest. “You’re hurt?”

“What do you think?! It’s that blasted Yu and his precious girl Yue Shishi! They almost killed me before I came here!” Baring her teeth in a vicious manner, she huffs a grunt before continuing: “You useless thing, you can’t do anything, not even to protect me!”

Winger simply hung his head there: “I can take you away from the Celestial Palace…”

As long as you’re willing, I can take you away. Then those people won’t be able to hurt you anymore.

“Leave the Celestial Palace?” Why should I leave? I have the protection of Keeper Ling and the others, why should I be afraid of a head alchemist like Yu?” Clenching her fist to reveal a murderous glint along those eyes, “Enough, I came to you this time for one thing: go to the demon palace and kill the young prince. I want his beast core.”

The bird man’s body visibly froze, not moving an inch like a statue. “I’m sorry, but I told you before, I can’t do it.”

“Winger, have you forgotten how Bai Yan treated me? I am your life-saving benefactor! Do you not hate her in the way she treats me?” Livid and green across the face now, Yun Ruo Xi’s expression grew tenser and tenser until that voice started to screech.

But instead of showing concern, Winger opened up his eyes in a confronting manner: “Ruo Xi, is what you say about the demon queen abusing you really true?”

Looking at that skeptical face, the old witch actually shuddered like she’s been exposed. “What do you mean by that?! Why would I lie to you?!”

“I don’t know…” A smile bordering on the line of mockery reveals itself from the man, showing he’s starting to doubt the supposed truth in his world.

How could Bai Yan raise such a well-behaved daughter and be vicious? It doesn’t make sense, none of this makes sense….

“How dare you!” Stepping forward to do another slap, the old witch held nothing back and caused the man’s cheek to go red and bruised up.

Huffing a grunt at the injury, Winger didn’t retaliate, only quietly standing there like usual: “I owe you, that I admit so I will bear with whatever you wish of me. However…. I won’t help you murder an innocent child.”

Unlike his past deeds of murdering and assassination, he has never killed the innocent and young, that’s his final straw that he won’t break. Even if the other side that’s demanding it was his benefactor and savior in that dark abyss.

“Ha, alright, fine! If you won’t help me kill the brat then I will kill you instead!” Flushing red across the face, Yun Ruo Xi looked like an insane bitch that would tear the other side apart.

If he is of no use to me then why should I keep him?

In an instant, a dark shimmering blade of deadly light materializes from the old witch’s sleeve, its tip pointing straight for the man’s throat.

Winger knows what she intends to do, even so, he didn’t move, only making a helpless smile as he closes his eyes in acceptance.

A life given, and now a life taken. If she wants my life then so be it. If not for her, I wouldn’t have kept going until this day anyways.

However, right as the lethal blade was about to make contact and slice through that throat, an old hand unexpectedly reaches over and caught the sword mid-thrust, leaving only a millimeter of space before it could cut.
