Chapter 699 "Impersonate (11)"
“None?” Muzhen’s face sank: “Did you make sure to search everywhere?”
"We didn't miss a single spot Elder. There was nothing aside from the palace that we discovered along the way, and when we searched inside there weren't anyone inside either," the subordinate explains.
No dragon? How can it be?
Musing over the issue, Muzhen came down with another idea after some careful deduction: "I am an elder of the Misty Fairy House and I know you are here somewhere. They say dragons never abandon their own so why not step forward to show yourself?" Her lips then evoked into a sinister snarl like that of a predator discovering their prey's hiding spot, "Someone come, chop this dragon into mincemeat. I like to see how long the other one can continue to hide while his companion is being killed!"
“Yes, Elder.”
Led by the closest subordinate next to the old beauty, the man held no hesitation when sheathing his blade. Slicing down, the move instantly sheds down a good chunk of meat from the already battered up body.
Silvery made an excruciating scream over the pain of course, but more than that, his hatred for this woman stood above all else right now, causing even his whole body to tremble all over from anger.
This was honestly a very b.l.o.o.d.y scene for everyone involved, Huan Yin especially who hastened to turn herself aside before the gruesome scene.
“I'll count to three, if you do not appear by that time then I'll b.l.o.o.d.y sc.r.a.pe off his flesh entirely!" Muzhen's gaze turned sharp and cruel to emphasize her threat, "One…."
“Two!”
Before the final count could be said though, a heavy set of splashes were set off within the river and out came a humongous green dragon ascending into the air. She radiated courage and majestic might, a splitting image of her once glorious image of the one known as Azure Dragon, the great Dragon General of the Demon Realm!
“Lady Tsing Yi!" Silvery urgently struggles to stand upright only to be ruthlessly stomped down again by Muzhen's foot.
Before long, the figure of Tsing Yi's existence gradually changed and took on a human form of a woman wearing a light green dress. The complexion she gave may be pale and weak, but those eyes were strong.
“Silvery is my subordinate so the fault lies with me in not disciplining him prior to the attack. I'm apologizing to the two frightened girls here." She then makes a sincere bow to show she meant it, "But… I remember that my subordinate never harmed you in any way, yet you injured him to such a severe state. How should I take that?"
Muzhen sneered: “I am an elder of the Misty Fairy House so it's within my duty to get even for those under my charge. Forget about hurting this dragon, even if I kill him right now it's still his fault to bear!"
“I…” a young girl meekly raises a hand just then, “I accept her apology.”
The one speaking up was the first girl who got dragged into the water. At first she was still holding a heavy grudge for what happened to herself, however, the tragic image of Silvery being butchered left that sweet maiden heart aching and unbearable.
“I accept the apology too." Shooting a glance over to the old hag who's using justice as an excuse, Huan Yin decides to step forward as well to make her stance clear.
Muzhen’s complexion took a slight turn for the worse but that quickly changed once her gaze fell upon Ho Cui Cui's presence: "This girl over there is also a victim. I promised her before that I will get her justice!"
Taken aback by the accusation, Tsing Yi promptly looked over to the specified Ho Cui Cui before turning back to Silvery on the ground: "Did you harm someone else again?"
“No, I didn't! Lady Tsing Yi, I don't know who that third girl is!" Shaking his head profusely despite it being nothing more than a slight jiggle due to his own injuries, the poor dragon clearly didn't know who the imposter was based on his tone and reaction.
Towards her own subordinates words, the dragoness would never doubt them for they are as close as it comes in terms of family. In an instant, a touch of frosted ice now enshrouds her gaze that's peering down at the human woman.
