Bringing Out The Angel Inside Chapter 9

Escaped, but couldn't escape.

Frost Moon left the tower, her face still flushed with shame and anger.

Nonsense, nonsense.

How could she want to get close to Dominic just to... climb into bed?

The ba5tard must be trying to torture her again.

At this moment, Violet really wanted to never see Dominic again.

She is a loner, she used to keep her promises, and she never did things perfunctorily. Although she is not popular in the Xuanmen, she is at least respected as the "Big Sister". Violet is proud and has her own dignity. But since she came to this unfamiliar demon realm, she has been frequently teased by Dominic and made a fool of herself.

If it was in the past, she would not have needed to endure it and would have stayed as far away as possible. But now, she wanted to leave, but how could she leave?

He kicked the chain on his ankle, his face full of frustration.

Not only the body, but also the mind is imprisoned here.

Ever since she agreed to the Great Elder's request, she has only one responsibility left.

Kill Dominic.

Now that she was being teased by others, it must be God's punishment for her evil intentions.

Violet walked to the flower garden in a daze, looking at the high palace wall in the distance, and felt that the world on the other side of the wall was very far away from her.

She didn't know that Dominic had been following her, and when she saw her standing there, she looked at her for a long time.

*

"Are you here? I thought you would never come back."

As Violet just entered the top floor of the tower, she heard the annoying voice again.

She took a deep breath and suppressed those inappropriate emotions. When she looked up again, she had recovered as before and spoke calmly and indifferently: "Zhan Yue is a tolerant and generous person who disdains to compete with villains. What do you think, Your Highness?"

I thought Dominic would be angry after being implicitly called a villain, but she wasn't. The smile on her face remained the same as always.

"Excellent character, very good."

Is this a magnanimous admission of the villain's words? It's like punching cotton.

Violet was at a loss for words because of her shamelessness. All her plans were ruined. She decided not to continue the childish quarrel and changed the subject, "Your Highness, I have packed everything I need. My residence is too far away and it is inconvenient to take care of it. I wonder if there is any unused palace nearby. If you don't mind, I would like to change my bedroom."

"That's right. You can live in my palace. No matter how quiet this tower is, it is not a place to rest. Come with me back to Lingxu Palace later."

Lingxu Palace is a water palace and also the place where Dominic usually lives.

The stone bricks around the hall were dug out and built into a quiet ice lake. To prevent the temperature from being too low and the lake water from freezing, the lake was planted with precious fire lotuses. The spiritual energy was dense and the flames were blazing, warming the waters. It was the warmest place in the palace. Even though it snowed heavily a few days ago, it felt like spring.

The Lingxu Palace is located on the water.

Violet had gone to Lingxu Palace to look for Dominic many times. Although most of the time it was a wasted trip, she was reluctant to leave the warmth there.

"Lingxu Palace..." Violet suppressed the expectation in her heart and asked, "But your highness is still seriously injured, can you leave here?"

She didn't know what secrets were hidden in the tower, but she guessed there must be a treasure. Dominic's quick recovery was probably related to this.

Dominic waved her hands: "No problem."

As he spoke, he stood up, as if he wanted to go back immediately.

Seeing that she insisted, Violet said no more, took her own bed with her, and slowly followed Dominic.

There is no snow in Yuecheng today. I heard from Dominic that it has been snowing here for nearly three years.

Violet couldn't imagine how those ordinary little demons could survive in such a harsh environment.

Bathed in the sunshine, the two leisurely came to Lingxu Palace, and warmth filled their faces.

Even though he had been here several times, Violet still couldn't help squinting his eyes, and even his normally stern expression softened.

"Do you like it?" Dominic glanced at her and asked happily, as if she was infected by her smile.

"Yeah, it's a nice place."

"In that case, you can live here from now on. There are attached palace study rooms and even a bathhouse inside, which is much more convenient than over there. Choose an unused side hall to live in later. Together with this fire lotus, it will be considered as an apology for what happened just now."

Violet suddenly turned his head to look at her. Because he was half a head shorter than her, he needed to look up slightly.

After Dominic finished speaking, she did not look at her, her eyes fell on the red lotus in the water, with a smile on her lips, no different from usual. Her eyelashes were very long, and they swept back and forth with her blinking, like black feathers, bending in a graceful arc.

His expression was as indifferent as mine, but it looked much softer, with a delicate warmth.

Apologize...

I never thought that there would be such a word of weakness in this person's dictionary.

My heart and throat felt a little hot, a strange feeling I had never experienced before.

Violet felt a little at a loss and looked away, not daring to look again.

I knew I should say something, but the words kept turning over and over in my mind and I couldn't find the right one.

"Isabelle always says that I'm cold, but I think you're the truly indifferent one. You don't even say anything." Dominic laughed at herself, her tone a little melancholy.

The first time she apologized, the other party didn't say a word, and she didn't know what to do.

The two stood in front of the water palace, clearly very close to each other, but both fell silent, one lowered his head and twisted his fingers, the other tilted his head to admire the red lotus. Both were absent-minded, and the atmosphere was visibly awkward.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long before a third person came along and broke the deadlock.

"Your Highness!" Mia ran over quickly, like a gust of wind. He was originally happy, but when he saw another person, he gradually became suspicious: "Zhan Yue is here too?"

Seeing her puzzled look, Violet felt even more awkward and anxious.

Clearly nothing had happened, but it was as if she had taken advantage of the situation and done something shameful.

She didn't bother to respond to Mia, and hurriedly said, "I'll go clean up first." Then she ran into the hall.

Mia looked confused, not knowing what was going on.

Dominic couldn't help laughing as she watched the person leaving in a panic. After a while, she explained seriously, "She is weak and cannot adapt to the cold weather in the demon realm. She will move to Lingxu Palace from now on."

"So that's how it is." Mia nodded, "Indeed, the house over there is too remote and has few heaters, so it's really not suitable for Zhan Yue to live in."

She was so angry at first that she ignored the matter when arranging accommodation. It was only after she saw Violet feeling unwell several times that she reacted.

I wanted to invite her to live with me, but I didn't expect that His Highness would get there first.

"Why did you come to see me?" Dominic asked.

Mia handed her a red invitation card after hearing this. "Your Highness was not in the palace a few days ago, and Prince Chen sent someone to deliver the invitation card. He said that his son will be getting married next month, and he wanted Your Highness to pray for them and give them your love."

Hearing this name, Dominic's eyes turned cold, but her tone was full of interest. As she opened the invitation, she said, "Why don't I remember that King Chen has a 'son'?"

When I opened it, I found out that his name was Chen Liangjun, the same surname, and no one would doubt it if I told them.

Mia explained in time: "This man is the adopted son of King Chen. According to my subordinates' investigation, he was adopted just half a month ago. King Chen was very happy and rewarded Chen Liangjun with more than 10,000 spiritual stones when he first met him. Then, within three days, they suddenly got engaged and sent out invitations widely, with great fanfare."

Dominic sneered: "What a coincidence."

Half a month ago, she was besieged by seven gods.

Presumably, King Chen discovered that his subordinates did not report the news on time, and immediately sent people to investigate, but found that several gods had died, and even the person who was supposed to contact him suddenly died. Feeling uneasy, he immediately recognized a son at random and used the wedding invitation to lure her out.

How much did he know?

He dared to show off his skills in front of her with his mere late stage of Spirit Transformation. He must have heard from somewhere that she was seriously injured.

This is not an invitation, it's clearly an obituary.

I just don’t know whether it belongs to her or King Chen.

When the position of Demon King was taken away by her, King Chen was dissatisfied. At that time, Dominic had just entered the martial arts world and did not want to arouse the hostility of the cultivation world, so he deliberately let King Chen go in order to gain a good reputation. Later, King Chen made many unusual moves, but they were just small fights, and Dominic did not take him seriously at all.

After her failed ascension, her cultivation level plummeted, but King Chen remained as quiet as a chicken.

Dominic thought he finally came to his senses and would no longer be her enemy, but she did not expect that he was secretly colluding with the Xuanmen, gathering forces, and plotting a rebellion.

She hates betrayal the most.

Now that the challenge has been issued, don't blame her for turning against you.

"Keep an eye on him. Before the banquet, report any action he takes to me at any time. Call the elders of the Black Snake Clan as soon as possible, and make sure no one leaks the news."

The Black Snake Clan was loyal to King Chen on the surface, but in fact they had already submitted to her.

This was a hidden chess move left behind a hundred years ago. I didn't want to use it if it was possible, but today it doesn't go as I wish.

"As you command." Mia said, but did not leave. He asked worriedly, "Your Highness, are you going to the banquet?"

Dominic paused, then reacted, narrowed her eyes, and said in a gloomy tone: "You investigated me privately and knew that I was injured."

Mia knelt down quickly: "I dare not! It was mentioned by His Majesty the Demon Lord when he came to Beigong a few days ago."

Dominic hissed and said that she always felt like she had forgotten something, but she didn't expect to forget Isabelle.

I don’t know whether Changjin has been found.

She fought alone that day and was seriously injured. She wanted to ask Isabelle for help, but unexpectedly that person was also missing. She had to hold on for her last breath and return to Beigong.

It's time to contact her, at least to find out the situation.

She looked at the slender figure kneeling on the stone slab and wanted to help him, but she didn't move. She sighed and said, "Get up."

Knowing that this person was worried, he added: "I am fine now. A month is enough time for me to recover. By then, I will have enough people with me and will not make the same mistake again."

Mia was relieved, but he asked timidly: "Can I... go too?"

Dominic frowned, "You're so long-winded, are you trying to take a break?"

Mia was delighted and shook his head repeatedly, "I'll take my leave!"

After saying that, she left in a hurry just like when she came. She was overjoyed, but she didn't notice that Dominic was watching her back.

Dominic is very smart. Having been in the world of cultivation for so long, he has already developed the ability to see the big picture from the details.

She has always been good at judging people, and she has been with Mia for nearly a hundred years. How could she really not know anything about her thoughts?

It was just that Mia was so sincere and respected her more than he loved her, so Dominic pretended not to know.

If one day the two are reversed...

Dominic sighed slightly and murmured softly: "Mia, Mia, please don't let me down."

Mia's feelings towards His Highness are more of a gratitude, not admiration. She has her own CP, which will be discussed later.
