Divine Seal: I am the Demon God Emperor's beloved granddaughter

Chapter 186 The Real Person Behind the Scenes

Feng Xiu's gaze toward the thirty-third pillar demon god, Jia Bo, was filled with murderous intent. Few people in the demon race knew Bai Xi's previous identity, and neither Jia Bo nor Pal should have known.

In the Demon Clan, besides the three pillars of the Sun, Moon and Stars, and Huang Shuo, the commander of the Demon Dragon Guard, only the nine people who entered the Dream Paradise truly knew that the Crown Princess was Bai Xi.

So, who betrayed Bai Xi, and also betrayed him?

"You say she's a human demon hunter, then she is! Show me the proof! Otherwise, I'll say that the Arcane Demon God is a traitor to the demon race."

"I remember the Arcane Demon God can change other people's likes and dislikes, right? Does the Lightning Demon God know that he's being used by you?"

Ah Bao forcefully barged into the main hall and said the following.

Upon hearing Abao's words, Jiabo knew he was doomed.

Abao's gaze toward Jiabo was even colder than Fengxiu's.

Jiabo can no longer live.

At the very least, he can't speak again. Otherwise, only Leng Xiao will die, and he'll be dragged down with her.

He had just barely managed to save Leng Xiao's life from Bai Xi's clutches.

Fifteen minutes ago, in Leng Xiao's bedroom.

Without any warning, Leng Xiao was suddenly bound by a binding magic, and her vision went dark.

"If I had known you would bite me, I wouldn't have spared your life just because you're his daughter."

A cold female voice came, and Leng Xiao felt something stick to her cheek. It was a dagger with extreme light attribute, which was her nemesis.

"You, weren't you killed by Pal?"

How could Leng Xiao not recognize this voice? It was Bai Xi's voice, which she had envied and been jealous of for so long!
"You must be disappointed that I didn't die."

Bai Xi used a dagger to make a small cut on Leng Xiao's wrist. Red blood dripped down, and the sound was surprisingly clear.

“I’ve come back alive, so it’s your turn to die. Since you’re his daughter, I’ve chosen a painless way for you to die: slowly bleeding out.”

"What are you saying? What have I done to offend you? Why are you trying to kill me? You can't kill me! My father will not let you get away with this."

Although Leng Xiaoxin was extremely flustered, she remained remarkably calm on the surface.

"Who cares? All I know is that anyone who tries to kill me must die."

"When did I ever try to kill you? I've been diligently cultivating in the Demon Emperor's Palace lately and haven't left the palace in a long time. Are you misunderstanding something? Don't throw all sorts of accusations at me."

Leng Xiao expressed her complete innocence, and anger at being wrongly accused surfaced on her face.

"Lightning Demon God Pal, Arcane Demon God Gabo, do I need to make myself clearer? Princess Leng Xiao, when did you take the thirty-third demon god into your hands?"

"Does His Majesty know how capable and ambitious you are? No, your ambition is not big enough, otherwise you wouldn't only dare to attack me instead of demanding power from him."

When she heard Bai Xi mention these things, Leng Xiao stopped pretending.

"I never expected that you would be able to trace it back to me."

The sweet and lovely girl put on a cold expression, completely opposite to her previous one.

"Whether it's Pal or Jiabo, they both clearly lean towards Bao Ge. The flaws I left behind also point to Bao Ge. Shouldn't you be suspicious of Bao Ge?"

"Him? Let's forget about it." Bai Xi had suspected A Bao, but she didn't mention how she dispelled her suspicions. There was no need to tell Leng Xiao about that.

“Your ambition is well hidden, but we are the same kind of people, and you are not as good at hiding it as I am. How could I not see your ambition?”

"Let me explain why you want to kill me."

"Before I appeared, you were the Demon God Emperor's most beloved princess. You always thought that you had received all of the Demon God Emperor's favor."

Tell yourself that you have received enough favor and don't ask for more. You are just a half-human, half-demon, and a princess. You have absolutely no chance of inheriting the throne.

“Abao treats you very well, and Yueye also treats you like a younger sister. Tell yourself that as long as you continue to be an innocent princess, they will never mistreat you.”

"But you still couldn't control your ambition and secretly made contact with some demon gods and demons."

Bai Xi paused for a moment at this point.

Leng Xiao couldn't see that Bai Xi's gaze towards her didn't hold hatred for an enemy, but rather a feeling of disappointment and frustration.

"Until I appeared."

“I am a princess, and also a half-human, half-demon hybrid, with even less demon blood than yours. Yet, he made me crown princess and placed power in my hands…”

"You've just realized that you can do it too. I can fight for the throne, so you have even more reason to fight for it."

"You can fight for power, but you've chosen the wrong method, narrowing your own path and leading to your own demise."

Bai Xi could understand Leng Xiao's ambition, and having ambition was a good thing, but what she couldn't understand was why Leng Xiao would choose to kill her and take such a step.

Hearing Bai Xi dissect her thoughts so thoroughly, Leng Xiao became even more unbearable. She loudly vented her dissatisfaction, and A Bao outside the hall could hear it clearly.

"Of course you don't understand me. The moment you appeared, you offended all his darlings. He can't see anyone else but you!"

“I asked my father why he chose you and not me? Why are you qualified to be the Crown Princess, but I am not?”
I begged him to give me another chance, but he refused! He refused me!

“He said that the future emperor can only be you. He told me to put aside my inappropriate thoughts, either to assist you like the moonlit night, or to continue being an innocent princess.”

"But why should I!"

"Why should I?! I'm his daughter, why can't I have ambition?! You can fight for that position, why can't I?"

"He wants me to curb my ambitions, but I won't!"

Leng Xiao cried as she recounted her ordeal.

"If you hadn't come along, I might have been able to hide my ambitions and live as an ordinary princess."

"But you appeared, you are like the sun in the sky, and my star has dimmed as soon as you appeared. Compared with you, Bao Ge is just the moon. He has also begun to be forgotten as soon as you appeared."

"But why can you be the rising sun, while I can only be a faint star?"

-----

The thirty-third pillar of arcane magic, Gabo.

The special ability is to change other people's likes and dislikes and influence their intelligence.

For example, he amplified Pal's hatred for Bai Xi to the extreme, causing Pal to lose his mind and attack Bai Xi.

He completed one part of the scheme to kill someone else, but he himself was also a knife in Leng Xiao's hand.

As for Leng Xiao, I don't portray her as an innocent little princess, but rather as someone with ambition and a thirst for power. Bai Xi's appearance stimulates her and amplifies her ambition.
