âWhy? Why are none of these pills working?
After seeing so many of her medicinal herbs and pills being useless and her son remaining unconscious, Bai Yanâs heart finally crumbled after putting on a strong fa?ade for so long.
âMistressâ¦â Huang Xiao Ying gave a pained look at Little Rice before landing her eyes on Bai Yan, âthe Prince, he might not make itâ¦â After saying that, she then went ahead to give the boyâs body a sniff to confirm her thoughts.
âShut up!â
Little Rice grew immensely angry over that remark. Near shouting in his voice, the loyal cat roars out at the girl: âDonât say things you donât know! How can Little Master not make it when heâs not even injured?â
Yes, Little Master is going to be fine, all he did was to show off his immense power!
Butâ¦â¦
Looking at Bai Xiachenâs increasingly lifeless appearance, Little Riceâs tears eventually couldnât hold back and begun pouring out as he jumped on top of the boy: âLittle Master, you wake up, I beg of you⦠If you do then I wonât take your snacks anymore. I will give you all of the delicious food, and, and⦠I wonât say anything to rebuttal you again. Please donât scare us and wake up, okay?â
Sobbing and making a wailing cry now, âYour father have already abandoned Mistress. Without you, what will Mistress do? What will I do?â
Bai Yanâs distress wasnât so dramatic; nevertheless, her distraught face and the piles of empty bottles on the floor was more than enough to show how desperate this mother was inside.
âMistress, canât you see whatâs wrong with Little Master?â Little Riceâs eyes were laced with red due to his intense emotion running through his veins.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Bai Yan did not answer his words, only allowing her fingers to touch the boyâs face before muttering to herself: âXiachen is my world. If he is gone⦠then I will subvert the entirety of the Demon Realm even if it means sacrificing my all!â
âMistressâ¦â Wiping some of his flowing tears, âI will join you! If anything happens to Little Master, I will get revenge with you!â
Swoosh~ Swoosh~ Swoosh~
It was then a group in black suddenly lands from above, thus surrounding Bai Yan and her group once again.
âMistress⦠they are⦠PUPPETS!â Little Rice fiercely eyed the uninvited guests with wariness.
Fully aware of the unexpected newcomers by now as well, Bai Yan slowly closes her eyes knowing full well what awaited and got up: âYou take care of Xiachen while I handle them.â
âMistress, then youâ¦â Shaking in his heart, the baby tiger needed no more elaboration since things have come this far.
These puppets are far more powerful than the ones at the market. To think Di Cang would really not let Mistress go and send even more people at us!
âAt the order of the King, we are here to slay the Queen and Prince!â The middle-aged man of the group stepped forward and loudly announced their reasoning for coming.
Over that proclamation, Bai Yanâs hand reflexively clutched harder against the handle of her sword: âHe wants to kill⦠Xiachen?â
âYes, since the Queen and Prince arenât willing to return to the Demon Realm with us, His Majesty has decided to sentence the both of you to death!â The middle-aged man said it with a blank expression.
Of course, a puppet had no emotions to begin with so of course there wouldnât anything extra on the face.
Little Rice promptly jumped up and roared: âYou lie, the Demon Realm had prophesized that no one except Mistress can give him a child. Does he want to be forever without an heir?â
âHaâ¦â The puppet grinned and scoffed a laugh: âThe Queen knows too much. Without the existence of this woman, the Prince wouldnât willingly stay in the Demon Realm anyways!â
