Chapter 1474 “Self-Humiliation (3)”

The whole sky carried the scent of gunpowder, smoking and tense as the dust cloud created by the explosion covered the air. This eerie mood continued right up to the point when the powdery substances cleared up, but what it showed was something most wouldn’t have expected.

Standing across from the proud woman was none other than Keeper Ling, but unlike before where he’s arrogant and conceited, he’s a ragged mess with his clothes mostly torn and ripped in all corners. There’s blood slowly spreading out from the corner of his mouth and a look of horror along that old face.

How can it be……

She couldn’t have made the breakthrough all that long ago, how can she wield so much power in one attack?

Of course, the idea of Bai Ning forcibly enhancing her own strength through underhanded means did occur as well, but considering Keeper Ling’s experience and awareness, the old fella was confident he would be able to pick up the unstable factor of someone going down that route.

In other words, the power shown was the real deal in his view!

“Keeper Ling, do you now believe I’m no longer the same person as I was back then?” Smiling in the face, Bai Ning’s aura continued to grow as she spoke, “Not only can I deal with you now, I do it with ease! As for the Celestial Palace…. Just wait, I will go settle the debt sooner or later!”

The old Keeper’s heart trembled at the threat, causing his hands to tighten into a ball.

“Now you can scram! By the way, go back and tell your peers to tidy themselves up for me. I, Bai Ning, will personally settle the score with each and every one of them!” The woman’s voice may be mild and indifferent, but it’s strong and powerful to the ear like a drumroll to the other side.

That’s all Keeper Ling needed to hear though. He didn’t argue, nor did he leave a sinister remark before leaving, he merely turned and left in silence. The old man’s ashamed, ashamed of himself for fearing for his own life despite all the moral values he kept spouting…

“Madam,” Winger mutters from the side, “why are we letting him go?”

The question was good, a reasonable one at that; however, it was First Elder who spoke up to answer it instead of the woman herself.

“Madam Bai Ning, if I’m not mistaken, you must’ve taken a special drug to forcibly enhance your powers, didn’t you? And that drug, it’s only viable for one attack, is that why you let him leave?”

That’s to say, the raging storm of an attack Bai Ning did just now was indeed done at the help of outside materials, just that it’s very special and unique to the point where Keeper Ling didn’t realize it due to his stunned mindset. If the old grumpy Keeper had insisted and had a stronger spirit to fight, he would’ve immediately exposed the deception.

“Yes First Elder, I did take a special Dan pill for that attack I used. I’m like that Keeper Ling, both at the middle stage of the Demi Divine Lord level. He can’t break through my defense, nor hurt the people behind me if I insist on blocking him.”

Naturally she wouldn’t have done this if she could kill in one blow, but that’s simply too hard….

“Also, I took into consideration of the current fighting force we have. My daughter is not around and my son-in-law is wounded as you can see. In that case, I feared my prolonged battle with Keeper Ling would draw out the other Keepers in the Celestial Palace. By then the tide would change and we would be on the defensive again and likely unable to cope with the other side’s reinforcement.”

Then smirking mischievously like she’s a fox as well, Bai Ning clearly felt proud at what she’s achieved: “So, I took advantage of his mindset and offered him a retreat. I knew he would be shocked by my incredible growth and would waver. It’s a gamble and it worked.”

“I understand now Grandmother!” Di Ling Yan starts giggling like a little child, “Grandmother is so smart, scaring that scary old man away!”

“Ling Yan is so clever.” Bai Ning also starts to chuckle at the sight and went ahead to pinch her grandchild’s nose as a tease.

Proudly c.o.c.king her head high, the praise was definitely working on the princess: “That is of course, I am Mother’s daughter so of course I’m clever.”

In the mind of this little pipsqueak, Bai Yan was the smartest human being out there. As the genetic heir of said being, she’s bound to be smart as well!

Bai Ning kept smiling, but it didn’t stop her from sighing deeply at the mention of her own missing daughter: “But my plan won’t last for too long. Those Keepers from the Celestial Palace are going to come back sooner or later, it will only delay the inevitable battle. So, we need to first wake my son-in-law up and help recover, then the issue won’t be a issue anymore.”
