Chapter 1303 “The Adorable Di Ling Yan (1)”
Looking at the direction of her older sister’s departure, Mu Xue’s anger only increased until those nails had punctured the palm after clenching so hard. She actually drew blood and didn’t even realizes it.
Just like that, the storm of the demon king taking in a consort gradually died down a bit after First Elder became enraged by the fact, it’s just that…. As the saying goes, there wouldn’t be waves without the wind. Those who wants to dream would continue to dream, and those who wants to believe would continue to believe. In the eyes of the public, First Elder was firmly in the queen’s camp so his words weren’t taken that seriously.
……
Several days later, a purplish figure descends upon the sky of this city, his silver hair fluttering against the wind and making him all the more daunting to those who dare to gaze upon his existence.
The citizens of the city seem to have sensed this strong aura as well and hurriedly looked up. In an instant, that stunning face was reflected into their eyes and causes the crowd to involuntarily take to the knee.
First Elder also noticed this and rushed out of his room like all the rest. When he did so and saw who it was, a happy expression promptly filled his face: “Greetings to the king.”
“Greetings to the king!”
This resonated across the city, thus announcing their king’s return.
As cold as always in his expressionless face, Di Cang didn’t waste any time and descended to the ground: “Did anything happen while I was away from the palace?”
Afraid the others might say something foolish in this case, First Elder jumps the gun and explained: “No Sire, there hasn’t been anything as of late. The city is at peace right now. Aside from the occasional attacks from the Celestial Palace’s people, nothing is notable.”
“Mmm, then how about Dragony and Bai Xiao? Did you manage to locate the two of them yet?”
The departure of these two were Bai Yan’s greatest ache so as her husband its only right for him to pay attention.
A layer of cold sweat flowed out of the elder’s forehead: “Dragony has been found for a while now, and we are currently protecting her from the shadows. As for Sir Bai Xiao….” After a pause, he grits his teeth and decides to hide the truth: “We haven’t found him yet.”
If the king finds out about the rumors then he will definitely be outraged and might even punish me for failing to stop it. But…. if I can find the culprit behind it before he learns of the rumors on his own then I can at least redeem myself! What’s more, I only said I didn’t find Sir Bai Xiao yet, I never said anything about never seeing him before, that’s not a lie.
Perhaps Di Cang noticed the strange behavior there, or he’s just that aware of other people’s tone, but he definitely pricked his brow. Even so, the demon king didn’t dig deeper and instead changed the subject.
“Do you all only see me or something?”
At first the gathered crowd of demons didn’t quite get the meaning behind that remark, but they soon realize why. Clinging to Di Cang’s respective hands were two tiny soft buns….
First Elder was the quickest to react and the quickest to kneel: “Greetings to the little prince and little princess.”
“Greetings to the little prince and little princess!”
Others also followed with that welcoming phrase, but because of Di Cang’s existence, none dared to look up to gaze at the two adorable children.
