âOkay,â Bai Yan nods, âI will wait for you here with Xiachen.â
With that promise made, Di Cangâs small bit of unease has also left his heart as well. Letting the baby boy out of his arms, he made sure to rub that little head before disappearing from view.
Due to his speed, only an afterimage remains.
â¦â¦
Demon Realm.
While this world seemed strange and eerie due to the blood moon hanging in the sky, coloring the terrain in an eternal red, the occupants of this land on the other hand was bustling with movement as a result of the State Teacherâs word: The King will soon return with the Queen and Crown Prince.
âCounting down, the time is almost hereâ¦.â Hand against his back, the white robed man had a surreally handsome appearance. If one had to describe him, he would be the only white lotus within a pond, independent without an ounce of tarnish.
âThis time Kingâs return with the Queen and Prince will definitely cause chaos among the Demon Realm. But considering his temperament, those who cause trouble will surely be suppressed⦠and thereâs also Xiao Wan helping him.â
When bringing up the topic of the demon princess, the manâs lip had inexplicably curled into a genuine smile over the girlâs wayward appearance.
Hope sheâs not making too much trouble outside, otherwise I will have to clean up her trail again like usualâ¦.
But just as the State Teacher was indulging himself in happy thoughts, a familiar voice suddenly cuts into his thoughts and broke that happy face.
âState Teacher, I heard that His Majesty is coming back?â The tone may only carry a hint of inquiry, even so, its enough to cause a furrow to the other side.
âWhat are you doing here? Xiao Wan doesnât like your presence so you shouldnât have come.â
The receiver was a woman wearing a white long dress that held an extremely pure and beautiful appearance. If any random stranger were to get a look, they would surely fall heads over heels for this lady.
âState Teacher, I only wanted to ask of Kingâs status, thereâs no ulterior meaning. Whatâs more, Her Highness is too immature. No matter what we are still of the same kind.â
Thatâs right, this lady was a fox, just like Di Xiao Wan. The only difference would be their birth.
Just because she got lucky and was born into the royal family doesnât mean sheâs better than me. I will one day climb above that wench and make her kneel before my feet!
âYou got some nerve talking behind the Princessâs back!â A pang of frost instantly overtakes the State Teacherâs iris: âAlso, Iâm making this clear now. This time the King is coming back with the Queen and Crown Prince so you can lose that wish of yours!â With that said, a blast of power promptly flew out of the manâs sleeve and sent the foxy lady flying until she had slammed directly into the supporting pillar behind herself.
âState Teacher, you are misunderstanding me.â Leaking a trickle of blood from the corner of her mouth, the woman persists to keep up the story. âI only wanted to care about His Majestyâs wellbeing, I would never dare to badmouth the Princess.â
âYou know your heart better than anyone. Iâm giving you this final warning. If you take a single step out of line then I will personally see to it that your entire clan pays the price.â Upon those words, all forms of gentleness have left the man, thus causing the fox woman to stiffen up.
âIf State Teacher is not willing to say then I will see to myself out.â
Who doesnât know the King is cruel and ruthless? Therefore, in light of many females being in love with His Majesty, none would dare show a spec of their true intent.
