"Emodao!"
Botangca roared again as her hair went to wrap around Lai Mingjie's neck. Xu Rouguang was alarmed, but Lai Mingjie was still grinning down at the empress. The woman got up from her seat and glared straight at his eyes. Her deep green eyes shown and tried to warn the other from making jokes; however, even Lai Mingjie wished he was joking.
"...but... that's impossible..." Botangca brought a finger to her teeth to bite down. She then dislodged her hair from the demon king and paced towards the immortal general. The empress circled him and began inspecting his face rudely. She gasped at the side of his face and pulled him closer to her face. Her dark green continued to glow as she assessed the soul deep inside the immortal.
"...how?" She let go of his head and began examining his arms. "His soul is intact so I can't say it was ruptured by his escape. Normally..." Botangca stopped and looked up at the immortal's face. "What's your name now?"
"...Xu Rouguang..."
