Her exquisitely noble face bore a hint of anger.
“Are you satisfied now?
You claimed you didn’t support either side, just wanted to save my life, but at the critical moment, you helped the Heavenly Court block us.
You’ve greatly disappointed me,” she said.
The Queen Mother of the West was very angry and lashed out at the Eastern King.
In her eyes, had the Eastern King not stopped her, the dominion of heaven and earth would have already changed hands.
The Eastern King remained silent, not a man fond of explanations.
But Lord Doumu couldn’t stand it any longer and said discontentedly, “Queen Mother of the West, is your head filled with nothing but air?
Do you not realize the Eastern King is trying to save you?”
“Haha.”
The Queen Mother of the West sneered, her face full of disdain.
Save her?
He was saving the Great Emperor Ziwei.
If it weren’t for the Eastern King’s intervention, the defeat of the Heavenly Court would have been sealed.
At that point, bringing about the return of the Ancient Gods would have been a mere trifle.
“Don’t you see the Elder Lord Taishang has taken action?
What does that tell you?
Can’t you figure it out?” Lord Doumu said, somewhat in disbelief.
The Queen Mother of the West, usually so astute, had seen a disturbing downward trend in her intelligence ever since she mixed with Shao Siming and others.
The Great Emperor Ziwei dared to set her free, but there would be only one outcome: the Queen Mother of the West would certainly be killed by the discontented Elder Lord Taishang and the others, not leaving any suspense.
Not seeing that Elder Lord Taishang had personally intervened was an indication that he absolutely would not allow the Demon Realm to invade the Three Realms.
The Three Pure Ones would not take action lightly; once they did, it must be of significant importance.
This, the Queen Mother of the West should be very clear about; she used to understand well, but now she seemed utterly oblivious and was still blaming the Elder Lord Taishang.
To Lord Doumu, this was almost laughable.
The Queen Mother of the West coldly said, “Although the Elder Lord Taishang leans towards protecting future living beings, we all know the principles of The Three Pure Ones: they never involve themselves in the strife of living beings.
In their eyes, this is all an ordeal that living beings must ultimately endure in their evolution.
Only through strife can living beings be reborn from the ashes.”
Lord Doumu didn’t know what to say anymore.
The Queen Mother of the West was too stubborn.
If the words of the Three Pure Ones could be fully trusted, then the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi and Emperor Jun would not have been exiled.
And the Haotian God, even more indignant, had made so many arrangements.
None of the Ancient Gods from ancient times were benevolent.
Thus was the Haotian God, and so were The Three Pure Ones.
Where the Queen Mother of the West got the courage to actually trust the principles of The Three Pure Ones, she might as well trust that a sow could climb trees.
Of course, these thoughts were only in Lord Doumu’s mind.
To speak them aloud was something she dared not do.
Lady of Mount Li said solemnly, “My Lady, the Eastern King is truly acting in your best interest.
Moreover, the people around you, none of them are kind-hearted.
I hope you stop being obstinate, leave them sooner rather than later, or you might be harmed by them to the point of losing your life.”
“Do I need you to instruct me?” the Queen Mother of the West said coldly.
Lady of Mount Li was taken aback and fell silent.
The Eastern King said indifferently, “You may think as you like, but let me tell you, everything I’ve done is solely to save your life.
If necessary, I won’t hesitate to personally eliminate any destabilizing elements around you.”
Having said that, the Eastern King’s gaze swept over Shao Siming and others.
Instantly, their expressions changed drastically.
It was evident from the Eastern King’s words that he might take action against them.
Also, it was a threat, warning them to stop misleading the Queen Mother of the West.
“Haha, I’m not interested.
Hope you won’t bother me again in the future,” said the Queen Mother of the West coldly.
The Eastern King shook his head slightly, and seeing the matter concluded, he gestured to Lord Doumu and others to leave the place.
After the Eastern King had left, Shao Siming said through gritted teeth, “That Eastern King, so arrogant.
I really want to obliterate him.”
But as soon as her words fell, an icy gaze focused on her.
The Queen Mother of the West looked at Shao Siming with a bone-chilling coldness in her eyes.
“I would advise you to give up on that thought, or I will be the first one to kill you,” she said.
“You think I’m afraid of you?” Shao Siming replied defiantly.
She rolled up her sleeves, ready to confront the Queen Mother of the West.
The power of the Queen Mother of the West was on par with hers; Shao Siming was not afraid to fight her.
The Senior Commander-in-Chief also narrowed his eyes and said to the Queen Mother of the West, “I would ask that you watch your words, my Queen.
We are allies, and your remarks could hurt your allies’ feelings.”
“Haha.”
The Queen Mother of the West laughed coldly.
Feeling somewhat annoyed, she waved her hand and said, “All of you leave.
I want to be alone.”
Though Shao Siming was disgruntled, she was eventually pulled away by the Senior Commander-in-Chief.
The Queen Mother of the West looked in the direction where the Eastern King had left, her expression complex.
How could she not know the Eastern King’s intentions to protect her?
However, the Queen Mother of the West did not want to involve the Eastern King, so she had been so heartless in her words.
If she really faced a deathly calamity in the future, it would not implicate the Eastern King.
“Eastern King, the Lady was a bit too much, very ungrateful,” complained Lady of Mount Li.
She felt that the Eastern King’s good intentions had been treated with ingratitude.
While the Eastern King sought to save the Queen Mother of the West, she regarded it as malintent, even going so far as to speak of breaking ties with him.
