Twitching his mouth out of reflex due to that ridiculous answer, Bai Xiachen almost wanted to scream: âBut Grandpapa, that bad woman from yesterday is also wearing a white dress!â
âItâs not the same. Even if that bitch turns to ash, I will still recognize her!â The old coot kept grinding his teeth when speaking. Itâs clear the grudge he held for Yun Ruo Xi has seeped straight into his bones and would never be forgotten.
From out of the blue before anyone knew whatâs happening, a looped rope just dropped down from the tree where the old coot was leaning against and locked him into a tie. Now the poor senior was hanging upside in a bind with a clueless face at what has happened.
âWhoâs attacking me? Let me down now, I still need to go chase my Bai Bai!â
Just as the old coot was trying to break free, a voice interrupts him from the rear.
âIâm afraid you wonât have the opportunity to go after your good old granddaughter anymoreâ¦â Coming out of hiding was Yun Ruo Xi in person, her smile full of ridicule and mocking flavor when looking at her hated foe.
âWerenât you all about beating me before? What, whereâs your attitude now? Oh right, donât try to struggle, I stole the rope directly from the shrine altar of the Celestial palace. It can subdue even someone of your level with ease.â
The altar was rarely visited by anyone so sheâs very confident no one would discover the ropeâs disappearance until a much later date. If Yun Ruo Xi had to lament on anything, it would be her wasting the precious treasure on the crazy old coot when she had intended to use it on the demon king.
âWhat are you planning to do? Bai Xiachenâs expression turned a darker note, âAnd the white woman just now, was that one of your people?â
Almost showing a mad snarl at this point, the wretched woman did not hesitate to admit to the fact. âBrat, just because you bunch manage to catch me in the public yesterday doesnât mean it will turn out the same tonight. No one is going to be able to save you.â
Though the person herself doesnât realizes it yet, but the face Yun Ruo Xi made was borderline insane! Those eyes were wide with madness and that grin predatory like sheâs going to tear into them. As a result, Dragony instinctively hid behind the boy for cover and didnât want to come out of hiding.
âLet Old Grandpapa down, Iâll let you do as you please with me.â The little steambun offers, understanding thereâs no one else here to take charge unless he does.
âHaha!â Cackling like sheâs heard some hilarious joke, the woman stares down at the brave kid with contempt. âLet him down? This old thing has been making trouble for me for years! And yesterday he dared to humiliate me before the public, yet you still expect me to let him go?â Showing a derisive smirk, âAnd you, you shouldnât be worrying about others when you canât even secure your own safety!â
The last comment finally made the little steambunâs heart sink. Deliberately lowering his voice into a hush tone so it could only be heard by the little missy: âDragony, Iâm going to toss you out of here in a bit, you go to the city and find Mother and Baddie Father for help.â
âGege (big brother)â¦.â Dragony tightly clenched the boyâs hand after hearing that, those eyes full of worry.
âDonât hesitate. There are only a hundred miles left before the Demon City, at your speed you should be able to reach it in no time. Only by finding Baddie Father can you save us here.â
Despite her unwillingness to leave, Dragony purses her lip and nodded in the end, knowing full well heâs right and thereâs no other choice.
