Chapter 446: Wang Yu Yan (21)
Chapter 446: Wang Yu Yan (21)
Somewhere outside that realm, in the void-like place where the child spirit stayed, a soft humming sound briefly resounded. If one would light up his exact location, they would see an incredibly young kid looking to their location. His appearance was very adorable. He was even fully dressed in white, like an angel, and there was a thin layer of light surrounding him.
Sadly, bars made of unknown black metal confined him in place.
His eyes narrowing with suspicion at the image of the blue-eyed fae talking to Jiang Li.
'A week ago, I can't give my host actual images of would happen to Wang Yu Yan because somebody's interfering with me, and now they're doing this?'
'The sloppy excuse the kid gave really makes me wonder about their motive.'
Unlike Jiang Li, who possessed limited information due to being at the actual place, the child spirit who could observe from afar easily caught the odd details.
In this world, the Fortune-Teller's son arrived several hundred years earlier. He was already the supreme spiritual leader before the fae god race migrated two hundred years ago.
Now, this fae who led the wanton invasions and massacre said they don't want war?
Really, the words coming out of this liar's mouth were different from his actual actions.
'Why do they want to increase the difficulty of his mission and delay his departure from this world?' The child spirit was very displeased and forwarded the issue to his current superior.
Back to Earth.
Jiang Li ultimately refused as the curiosity he harbored about Dong Lan's intentions did not triumph over his desire to just stay in the shadows.
From the beginning, he made it a rule that he didn't want to stand out too much or bear any other responsibilities apart from preventing Wang Yu Yan's demise.
This was why the whatever bait, making him a hero or representative something, did not move him. Rather, it only sounded like beautiful nonsense to his ears. If he might say, he was more surprised that Dong Lan, who was also at least a millennium old monster, actually spouted those childish stuff. The suddenness of that person's actions only made him wary.
For starters, about the war who would believe a pact sign by two people would prevent the angry members of both side from triggering it?
"This already the thirty-second century."
Wang Yu Yan looked at the uncle standing behind her who spoke after sighing.
It was already the time of the public execution. A tall cage shaped like a cylinder stood in the middle of an open amphitheater. Since the circular wall of the huge cylindrical cage was almost like transparent glass, people could see the fae people chained and bound inside it.
Wang Yu Yan who had the honor of being in the VIP seats could enjoy the angry expressions on the fae's faces, especially of the audacious b*tch who slaughtered her precious subordinates. She was actually busy admiring the ugly look on the prisoners' faces. That was until Jiang Li's voice suddenly rang.
He continued, "Yet they want to talk about peace when they had never even brought up the matter about the enslaved cities or the damaged territories. Don't you think they are being ridiculous?"
Wang Yu Yan silently shook her head.
Her mind went back to the crazy meeting in the previous day and she could not help but ask, "Sir, is the enemy leader actually diverting our attention. All along their aim is to rescue these fae elites?"
Unlike Mohan and the Supreme General, her memories of the conversation between Jiang Li and the Pontiff were not erased. Jiang Li did not have that ability while the Pontiff who had was sensible enough not to try anything funny to somebody protected by Jiang Li.
As a result, Wang Yu Yan still retained memories of what they spoke about.
"Most likely." Jiang Li replied to her. "As for the talk yesterday, it's not planned. He can't predict my future. Maybe because I insulted them a bit that he wanted to strike back by wasting my time."
To the last part of his remark that was obviously made thoughtlessly, the girl refused to comment. She looked around. After making sure there were no people nearby, she asked again, "Would Sir blame me for reporting that to the higherups?"
He snickered. "No. You already did it anyway."
Although the woman lowered her head slightly, no trace of embarrassment showed on her face. She only did her duty as a soldier.
Jiang Li who had once been a military officer had no plans to pursue the matter. He only said, "However, don't expect me to join your operation, Colonel Wang. I've long made clear to you my objectives here."
Wang Yu Yan's eyes darkened as she nodded. "I understand."
After conveying her gratitude, she went quiet.
The execution proceeded and like she had seen expected, uninvited visitors emerged from the crowd. When the fifth fae was beheaded, the Supreme General who came as the Pontiff's escort could no longer sit still. Mohan appeared too. The Pontiff was nowhere to be seen, but with just those two, they managed to throw the place into chaos and rescued the remaining fae elites. The corpses were collected too.
Wang Yu Yan joined the others in pursuing them and Jiang Li was always nearby, only caring about the villainess' safety.
Time flew by. Unlike the almost week-long disturbance created by the male lead and female lead for the past week, the chaos brought forth by the Supreme General finished up fast. The results made Wang Yu Yan's hard-earned victory look pale in comparison to a powerful fae's casual one.
Because the three and the rescued faes had successfully gotten away, Wang Yu Yan's mood plummeted down again.
"Damn. That w*nch is too lucky." Her breathing became a bit ragged due to the anger and helplessness that she tried to contain.
The encounter was brief, but the capabilities of the Supreme General, whose clothes did not even get damage by the various high tech weapons and offensive abilities hurled at him, got etched deeply in her mind. There was only one more thing that greatly bothered her.
"The traps have all been evaded." This was the case even though she tried her best to make the formation's functions and components as vague and negligible as possible. "Is this because the other party has a great seer?"
When Jiang Li looked at her, she was really frowning. But later on, he realized the girl was only angry because Nuwa was destined to live, unlike the others who already died of poison before the Supreme General and the male lead could completely take them outside the city.
Wang Yu Yan had all the prisoners be fed with poison to ensure they would die whether beheaded or not. Most likely, she did it last night, immediately after returning from the secret trip.
Unfortunately, Nuwa was an unkillable creature, the very reason Jiang Li did not bother trying to give chase with his all. Before the female lead had succumbed to the poison, she had been rescued and brought to the Pontiff.
Wang Yu Yan had no choice but to advise the human forces to retreat.
She then hurriedly requested an emergency meeting within the military to discuss the recent infiltration to the other side.
