"A giant elephant is nothing but a beast. No matter how precious... it's still a beast. The Monarch lacks reverence for human life," Bai Qingyan said slowly, pouring herself another cup of hot tea. "Thus... it's no wonder Tianfeng Kingdom was abandoned by the God you speak of, punished as the desert devoured Tianfeng."
Sal Khan's lips muttered, his gaze once again landing on the pouch at Bai Qingyan's waist. He steadied his mind, suppressing his anger, and once more assumed a gentle and refined demeanor. "What the Empress of Zhou says is true. The Tianfeng Kingdom should indeed reflect more on these mistakes. Might the Empress lend the jade cicada to Tianfeng Kingdom?"
"So, it's true... you were after the jade cicada," Bai Qingyan's smile deepened. "The Monarch has placed hope in time reversal, becoming obsessed. If so... should our Zhou find the jade cicada, we will certainly gift it to Tianfeng Kingdom."
