Chapter 1355 “Protect the Princess for a Lifetime (2)”

So Mu Ying’s just going to admit guilt so easily when she kept denying it earlier? The crowd thought, not quite understanding why.

“Queen, I am guilty, I’ve long known about Yu Yao and Mu Xue’s ill intents. My sister wants to be a consort and has been spreading the rumors on her own in secret. If you need proof then you can go ask the demon soldiers that brought us into the palace. They were also present when my sister first started those lies.”

Yu Yao’s expression completely changed after that, her voice growing insanely angry. However, Bai Yan’s pressuring aura instantly shuts the old hag up again so she stops interfering.

Without the interruption, Mu Ying continues her story: “I know my crime is deep Your Highness, but I couldn’t bring myself to oust my own family back then. Now they’re getting worse and even tried to frame me. I was wrong, my own weakness allowed things to reach this stage.”

In light of her own belief, this leopard girl didn’t regret her decision that day. If anything, Mu Ying believes whatever that’s about to befall herself would be the debt she owes to Yu Yao for giving birth to herself. From here on forward, she owes this woman nothing!

“That’s why I’ve been limiting my younger sister from getting close to the princess. I know her personality, she was likely scheming to use the princess to her own advantage in some way. I know what I did is selfish and my own fault. Please punish me accordingly, I deserve this.”

The whole garden has fallen quiet with most not daring to speak up.

“Indeed, you are also guilty for hiding this from us.” Bai Yan eventually broke the silence, “And your punishment will be a severe one.”

Mu Ying didn’t defend herself, only bowing her head low. So Her Highness wants to dispose of me, that’s fine….

Yu Yao finally found her voice again after this sudden twist of event: “Mu Ying you bitch, you think you can escape this disaster? With the queen’s mean, you will also die, hahaha!”

Looking at her crazy hysterical laughter, one had seriously question if these two are really mother and daughter. If anything, they look more like mortal enemies going at each other’s throat.

It really begs to wonder what sort of experience could turn someone into such a vile existence.

Bai Yan didn’t pay attention to the annoyance though. Continuing with her still hard voice: “So, I will punish you by ordering you to protect my daughter for the rest of your life, are you willing?”

Mu Ying was shocked and stunned by that. Looking up, she stares in disbelief at the demon queen. There’s no malice from what she saw, nor deceit or mockery, only the serious and firm look of someone asking if she’s willing. This made the leopard maid go on a beating rampage of excitement.

Her Highness… wants to let me go?

Yu Yao’s expression froze in that split second, she too was in shock and in disbelief due to those words. Yammering her lips, this old hag couldn’t say a thing due to losing her voice and mind.

Why?

Why didn’t the queen punish Mu Ying? Mu Ying is a bitch that deserves to die!

“I’ll ask you again, are you willing?” Bai Yan asks once again, her brow furrowing due to the lack of reply.

This time Mu Ying didn’t hesitate and practically blurted out her decision by nodding and stuttering: “Ye-Yes! I am willing! I will use my life to protect the princess. If I violate my oath then let me be damned to the darkest and cruelest reaches of this world!” In saying this, her eyes are strong and glowing with luster.

“Very well,” nodding in satisfaction, Bai Yan returns her attention to the other woman that needs to be judged. “You are a member of the leopard tribe?”

Yu Yao was already too stunned to speak so it was First Elder who stepped in to answer: “She is the wife of the leopard chief.”
