On top of the tallest building, stood a young woman wearing a long black dress.
Her dark black eyes scanned the city below, every detail and every figure, even every new arrival.
Fortunately she deliberately hid the existence of her gaze or else those who felt it would instantly taste death. Even the Demigods would be no different.
She was of course Kaiya, the third disciple of the Ice Goddess who had already come here.
After receiving the message from Mu Yixue, she did not delay at all because this matter was indeed quite crucial. A powerful figure needed to come to intimidate the enemy who was trying to mess with Ciel.
Unless the Blue Cloud God himself came, she could obviously easily become the strongest in this continent.
There were no Fourth Stage Demigods on this continent, the strongest were only Third Stage Demigods which were also few in number.
For Kaiya, even against all of them, she still had the confidence to win.
In the city, there wasn’t even a Third Stage. Only the Second Stage was the strongest, and they were few, Madam Zhou and Madam Maya were one of them.
Speaking of Madam Maya, she was currently on the highest floor of her residence that had a tower-like shape.
Like Madam Zhou, she was also a middle-aged woman, but she was a western-style woman with rosy white skin, blue eyes, and slightly curly blonde brown hair.
Her figure was tall and eye-catching, quite similar to Madam Zhou’s except that she was wearing a red off-shoulder dress that was very tight and slightly displayed the top of her breasts.
The slit of her dress is also more open so you can see her long legs even when she is not moving.
Her eyes were now gazing at Madam Zhou’s residence where Ciel followed the woman into her house.
Over time, Madam Maya’s eyes became sharp.
She was actually not alone, there was another middle-aged woman beside her who was also beautiful but lacked light compared to her, showing that she was only a servant.
Her name was Nora.
When she saw Madam Zhou, she gritted her teeth, and said, “This vixen is still as cunning as ever, now she’s even approaching a young man. I’m afraid, she’ll use cunning tricks to make the Ice Prince continue to do as she asks. After all, the young tend to be deceived by kindness.”
After saying that, the middle-aged woman looked at Madam Maya.
“Madam, we must take action, although the Ice Prince is only a young man, but his influence is unquestionable. If he says Yun Ming will get the inheritance, master might actually choose Yun Ming.”
The Blue Cloud God actually had a flexible nature. He considered each of his sons to be worthy and have great potential. Whoever of them got the inheritance didn’t matter to him.
Hence, when one of his sons befriended someone from a larger faction, he could have chosen that son.
This was quite good anyway as the friendship was bound to be beneficial.
In the end, they could continue to work together when going on adventures or anything that made their relationship more intimate so that they could help each other out when there was trouble.
Madam Maya responded to Nora’s words by waving her hand. “Go and tell Yun Xiao to go home, I’ll take care of the ones here!”
“Sure!” Nora smiled in response, trusting that Madam Maya would solve this problem.
Although Nora thought of Madam Zhou as a Vixen, she knew that Madam Maya was similar, both cunning women.
Both were women filled with ambition.
Even their feelings for the Blue Cloud God could not be said to be clear.
Some people near Blue Cloud God sometimes said that they were just using him.
In truth, their marriage was originally for mutual benefit where both clans supported the Blue Cloud God, doing everything possible to make his journey to becoming a God easier and then the Blue Cloud God helped their clan rise to become the strongest on the continent.
Unfortunately, this development eventually reached a limit and both clans began to think of ways to develop further.
Getting rid of the other clan was naturally the first way to get the Blue Cloud God to focus on supporting only one clan.
And central to that was making their clan’s son the heir.
Of course, between Madam Zhou and Madam Maya, Nora dared to say that Madam Maya was better. That was proven by Yun Xiao’s recent progress, which was the result of Madam Maya’s work.
Actually, Ciel was watching them right now.
This was what he had been doing since learning that the building on the other side belonged to Madam Maya.
Being worried that the woman would become his enemy, so he wanted to know about her first. 𝗈𝓋𝓛xt.𝒞𝒪𝓂
And the conversation between Nora and Madam Maya couldn’t help but make him confused as he glanced at Madam Zhou who was leading him towards a large dining table in the hall of her house.
He wondered if she really was a cunning woman as Nora said or if she was just saying nonsense to reproach her.
Of course, the words cunning or even selfish did not mean someone was despicable. After all, those two things were just the way people struggled in this harsh world.
One can only be said to be despicable if they do things that go too far.
Even if Madam Zhou is scheming and selfish, it does not take away from the fact that she is a good mother to her children. Unless she commits acts that betray her children.
Ciel and the others quickly arrived at the dining table.
“Please sit here, Prince.” Madam Zhou invited Ciel to take a seat, in a chair that was right next to the host’s chair.
It was not unusual, Ciel sat down without hesitation.
After that, Madam Zhou invited Mu Yixue and the other Ice Palace disciples to sit down as well. Each one she treated with respect.
Mu Yixue sat next to Ciel while Mei Mei sat quite far away, perhaps she didn’t want to be too close to Mu Yixue.
