Upon hearing this, Di Cang didnât even wait another second before rushing towards the White Moon Palace where the doorkeepers were completely caught off guard by their kingâs arrival.
Blowing through door after door, what welcomed this man was nothing more than an empty room. Thereâs no one, no cat, no boy, and most importantly, not his wife. If there were anything, itâs the faint scent of the occupants that lingered in the air, indicating theyâve left awhile ago.
The rest that quickly came afterwards were absolutely stunned by this empty picture. They wanted to speak and say something, but Di Cang already beat them to the punch by gripping onto a soldierâs collar.
âWhere did my wife go?â The air of a beast now shrouds over the man.
âSireâ¦â The guard quivered in terrible fright, âThe Queen left the White Moon Palace about an hour ago, she never returned since then.â
About an hour?
Blinking her eyes, Di Xiao Wan turned to her brother to explain the oddity from recent days: âBrother, I remember Sister-in-lawâs mood wasnât very good lately. Maybe sheâs out to relax and will return soon.â
âScram!â The Di Cang roared, slamming the victim in his hands down to the floor and making a noticeable impacting sound. Scrubbing his hair until itâs a mess, he showed pain and panic in those eyes. âShe wonât come back. I can feel it insideâ¦.â
âThatâs impossible!â Di Xiao Wan shakes her head disbelievingly.
Sister-in-law wouldnât leave the Demon Realm. How can she? She cares for Brother so much, how can she just abandon us like this?
âDi Xiao Wan!â Suddenly, a raging cry snapped out at her from the man.
âTell me, what happened? Why did she leave me? Did I not do enough? Am I not good enough?â Due to the intensity of his emotions, Di Cang could barely keep his stance and would wobble like an unstable toddler.
It seems that the departure of Bai Yan has crushed his whole worldâ¦
âMy King, I know why the Queen would leave!â
It was then when all the rest were too shocked or stunned to say another word, a very beautiful girl walked out from the crowd. She was a cold one, holding everyone else in contempt aside from when her eyes laid upon Di Cangâs existence.
âYou said you know why my wife would leave?â Pinning his bloodthirsty gaze over to the unknown woman, the manâs look was the same as someone watching a dead man walking.
Qing Xue of course shuddered at this; nevertheless, her inner desire won the better of her fear and walked forward anyways to kneel before the man. âYour Majesty, I inadvertently heard a dialogue between the Queen and the Prince the other day, she⦠there is a mortal man by the name Chu Yi Feng in the human world. She did not want to leave that person so she took the little prince and left with him.â When spouting those lies, that slithering mouth of hers couldnât resist a smug grin like that of someone winning a fight.
As far as the Demon Realm and the occupants here are concerned, Bai Yanâs affair there remains the biggest secret with only her closest friends and relatives knowing the details. However, there are certain parties who do know, specifically Qing Xueâs accomplice who secretly sent some of his puppets to follow that foolish Qing Luan to the human world from before at the behest of this snake.
Qing Xue and Qing Luan may be sisters but that doesnât mean they are of one heart, they both dearly wanted Di Cangâs favor so some competition was to be expected.
Just as this woman was feeling extremely proud of herself, something totally unexpected occured. A hand had reached over to grip her by the throat, causing Qing Xue to croak until she realized that intense glare meeting her eyes.
âThe people of the Snakes dare to frame my wife? You think I would believe your nonsense?â
