Chapter 1044 “Bai Xiachen’s Missing (2)”
Holding the item in his hand like it’s some sort of treasure, Wen Ru’s expression were all smiles then.
“Shifus, wait for me to come back first, then I’ll help you all enhance your alchemy when I have some free time in the future. I believe even if I gave you all the recipes now, you would still be unable to grasp the knowledge on your own.” Shaking her head with a bittersweet smile, Bai Yan turns back to the girl behind herself again. “Xiao Wan, we’re leaving now.”
In a flash, the girls were already gone from this place due to the insistence of the worrisome mother.
……
Demon Realm, inside the palace.
First Elder had been staring up in the sky here when his mind was suddenly yanked back to reality by the appearance of the two familiar figures up ahead.
“Queen, Princess, you’re back?” Showing a faint smile, the senior happily greets the two new arrival from the front.
Landing on the ground, Bai Yan spoke first without hesitation: “First Elder, I heard you and State Teacher were busy with something and had to leave, how come its only you here?”
Slightly amused and taken aback by the quick question, First Elder didn’t mind and frankly answered: “That’s because State Teacher still had other businesses to take care of so I returned first. My Queen, is something of the matter?”
“Xiachen is missing.” Growing darker in her complexion, the lady states her main reason for coming.
Likewise, the senior also grew solemn in the face upon this news. Going silent for a moment: “I heard His Highness had went into the secret domain…. My Queen, do you mean?”
“I want to go into the domain as well!” Her voice increasingly more determined and unyielding, showing how much she intends to force the matter if needed to do so.
A subtle change of concern swiftly took hold on the elder’s face as he frowned on this demand: “Queen, I’m afraid….”
“First Elder, Di Cang once said I’m in charge of the Demon Realm. Now I want to enter that secret domain, so do as I order and send me there!” Narrowing her eyes in, that voice grew increasingly sharp as she continued: “Don’t try to make any excuses. Xiao Wan already told me aside from Di Cang and State Teacher, you are the only other person capable of opening a channel into that domain.”
The poor senior’s mouth actually jerked as he twitched from being pointed out. For a good while, no words could come out of that tongue due to how speechless he became. Then when the old fella finally regained his composure, he immediately turned to the princess with a protesting look of blaming because that’s exactly the sort of excuse he had wanted to make in order to shut the idea down.
Di Xiao Wan naturally knew what the other side meant by that look. Shrinking her neck in, she promptly took a few steps back to hide behind Bai Yan’s figure: “First Elder, this is not my fault, you mustn’t tattle to my brother when he comes back.”
Now this time it’s the demon princess who’s over thinking the matter. Aside from Di Cang being a bit mean to the spoiled girl, no one else in the Demon Realm would treat this princess unwell. In fact, they pampered her to the point where its ridiculous, hence the lawless behavior she has formed over the years.
“Princess, if Her Highness is all right by the end of it then of course nothing will come of this incident. However, if something bad happens then no one can hide the fact, right?” Shaking his head, First Elder sighed at the predicament he’s now placed in.
Shuddering in cold sweat over that explanation, Di Xiao Wan immediately turned to Bai Yan for help and tugged at the lady’s sleeve: “Sister-in-law, you must come back early, otherwise my brother really will kill me….”
