114. Chapter 114: Whoever Dares to Show Disrespect Shall Be Destroyed

"Prince Jiu, it is I, Luo Yan... Why must you be so cruel to me? Prince Jiu... what exactly is so special about that good-for-nothing, ugly woman? She is nothing more than a useless, hideous wretch!"

As Luo Yan caught the expression in Nalan Djiu’s eyes, her heart turned to ice. Could everything she had once imagined have been merely a delusion? Had the Prince never held even the slightest shred of affection for her? It was impossible! She could not have been hallucinating. Therefore, there was only one conclusion: the Prince had been bewitched by that pathetic, ugly woman.

"You useless, ugly wretch... you deserve to die! Prince Jiu belongs to me! You are not allowed to stay by his side!" Luo Yan could not stop herself from hurling vicious curses at Baili Tianchang once more.

"I care not who you are. If you dare to harm my little fairy, if you dare to show her any disrespect, then you deserve to die!" Nalan Djiu had not expected that this woman, Luo Yan, would remain unrepentant even after he had severed her right arm. She actually dared to insult his little fairy again! He had long since sworn to himself that as long as he, Nalan Djiu, lived, he would never permit anyone to disrespect his little fairy, nor would he allow anyone to bully her or cause her the slightest unhappiness.

No sooner had Nalan Djiu finished speaking than he raised his right hand. With a subtle flick of his fingers, a fierce surge of profound energy struck out toward Luo Yan with overwhelming power. Luo Yan had no means of evasion; she could only watch in horror as the formidable energy descended upon her. In the next instant, the piercing force struck her directly in the heart.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! You dared to brandish your sword at the heart of my little fairy; even if you did not strike true, you must pay a heavy price for your actions! Nalan Djiu did not even blink as the violent energy tore through her. Poor Luo Yan, her heart still filled with utter confusion.

"Prince Jiu... it is I, Luo Yan... Why... must you kill me... My sister said..."

These were the last words Luo Yan uttered in this world. To her dying breath, she could not understand. She refused to believe that the Prince held no place for her in his heart; she refused to believe she would meet her end at his hands. Why? Why had it come to this?

Listening to her final words, Baili Tianchang felt a spark of curiosity. What had her sister told her? Alas, what her sister had said would now remain a secret forever. What truly shocked Baili Tianchang, however, was that after severing Luo Yan’s arm, Nalan Djiu had proceeded to kill her with his profound energy. This man... how was she to describe him? A complex emotion stirred within her.

Luo Yan’s body collapsed to the ground, her breath fading away. As her last breath escaped her, unnoticed by anyone, a tiny, transparent bee no larger than a pinky finger emerged from within her garments. The translucent insect flew off in a single direction—toward the Luo Xia Palace.

"My little fairy, have I frightened you?" Nalan Djiu asked, observing Baili Tianchang’s silence.
