âWhatâs more, donât you hate State Teacher? If it werenât for him, you would not be so miserable! Even if youâ¦â
âQing Xue!â The man stood up, his eyes gazing down at the woman whoâs been with him for hundreds of years: âFine, I will help you, but only for this one time. Whether or not you can get the kingâs heart will be up to yourselfâ¦.â
That immediately brought on a smile to the demoness, causing that firm grip to finally loosen around the neck. âThank you, I just knew you would help me.â
â¦â¦
Demon Mountain.
After her success in refining the Tri Reaching Soul Dan Pill, Bai Yanâs been intending to seclude herself for the impending breakthrough. Sadly for her though, Di Cang hasa beat her to the punch by openly announcing the date of the coronation to the public, thus causing her to delay that plan until after the ceremony.
Yet not all were happy of courseâ¦.
For one, the females of the Demon Realm were all crushed as soon as it became known that their one and only idol king was getting hitched. Many even went as far as to travel from afar just to get a glimpse of this legendary queen thatâs currently living inside the palace.
Unfortunately for these brave souls, their feet couldnât even make it to the palace gate before they were shooed away by the soldiers in charge.
âSister-in-law,â Di Xiao Wan blinks and blinks over how leisurely the woman in charge was acting despite the fact that the coronation was just around the corner. âTomorrow is your coronation as the queen, shouldnât we leave this mountain and go prepare like all the rest?â
Giving a stretch like a lazy cat, Bai Yan dismisses the idea: âNo need to hurry, it will be fine tomorrow. Oh right, where did that friend of yours go, that Huang Xiao Ying?â
Di Xiao Wan didnât reply immediately like her usual self, only showing a vigilant and alarmed look. âSister-in-law, why are you thinking about that girl all of a sudden? Am I not good enough?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIâm just asking out of curiosity and boredomâ¦â The lazy woman then caresses her chin like sheâs thinking of something bad.
To be quite honest, she didnât hold any disgust towards Huang Xiao Ying at all. If not for Little Rice not liking the girl, she would be quite happy to make her a good follower of hers in fact.
âBut Sister-in-law, that Huang Xiao Ying is a sweet dumbaclutz, you mustnât like her okay? You only need to like me and thatâs enough.â
That damn brat, it wasnât even all that long ago where she got tricked by that Jun Ruqing. Now she wants to stick around my nephew and sister-in-law? Dream on! I wonât give anyone that chance to steal them away!
Gnashing her teeth, the demon princess now has the tigress blacklisted.
âAuntie,â Bai Xiachen timely sticks his head out from the side to speak, âare you talking about yourself?â
That question promptly brought on a wave of grievance in the girlâs heart: âXiachen, is this how you think of me inside? Iâm a sweet dumbaclutz?â
Now thatâs left the little steambun in a bind. As much as he would like to not hurt his auntie there, but the good upbringing of an honest child still got the better of him, which in turn manifested as an unbearable nod.
Clack!
Di Xiao Wan actually heard her heart shattering apart right there and then. In one full burst of grievance, she openly cries with tears flowing out: âSister-in-law! Your son is bullying me~â
âIs that right, how come I didnât see it?â Casting a look at the little steambun next to her, Bai Yan just smiled like it didnât happen.
Sniffling her nose, Brother is bullying me, and now these two are bullying me too by joining forces?
âYou⦠you twoâ¦â The waterfall doesnât stop, âIâm going to have a baby of my own too! Then my baby can help me, humph~â
