Chapter 1744 “Unforeseen Event (3)”
Furthermore, she’s got this strange feeling that she’s been aging more and more in the past month. But that didn’t make sense for this old witch; after all, once one started to cultivate, they would all eventually reach a stage where they stop aging on the surface, thus retaining their eternal youth!
“I probably had this from the beginning, that’s why I didn’t notice until now…” Excusing the oddity as nothing more than her own carelessness, she dismisses the wrinkle and moved on.
Yun Ruo Xi’s simply too elated with joy to care about anything else, let alone some small blemish on her skin.
……
Bai Yan naturally remains unaware of what’s brewing in the outer domains, she only knows the situations are getting increasingly more unstable as time dragged on. Often, news would return of intruders trying to sneak into the Demon Realm. Thankfully they were all discovered by the patrolling demon scouts, otherwise who knows how much trouble they would’ve caused.
However, the constant intrusion did bring a sense of alarm to the demon queen’s heart. So, out of concern for her own children, Bai Yan forbade the kids from leaving the palace in order to protect them.
A the steambuns also understood why their mother made such a order so they didn’t resist and quietly obeyed the order. It’s just that, despite the cautionary measures taken by the demons, trouble still managed to find its way into this family’s home.
“Sister-in-law, hurry and come, hurry and come, Ling Yan’s in trouble!” Di Xiao Wan barges through the door on this day, her appearance a frantic mess as she yelled this aloud.
Something happened to my daughter?
Bai Yan’s expression flew into a panic as well and jerked up from where she sat. “What happened to Ling Yan, tell me.”
“I… I don’t know, Wooowoo, Sister-in-law, you need to go save my niece….” Di Xiao Wan didn’t get to finish the rest of her sentence though. Next thing this demon princess knew was the enchanting red figure disappearing right in front of herself in the next second.
……
Inside the large courtyard where the kids were playing that afternoon, Bai Xiachen was frantically smashing his little fist aganst the air where an invisible red barrier had erected itself around his poor sister.
Thankfully no harm had come to Di Ling Yan just yet though, she’s merely squatting there on the ground and crying while watching her family.
“Ling Yan!” The voice of their mother catches the babies attention and caused them all to look up.
Bai Yan needed no time to asses the situation after her arrival with Di Cang in the rear. Not waiting for another second, she too began to pound away at the reddish barrier. Unfortunately, the second her powerful attack landed on this strange and reddish barrier, the recoiling force actually send the demon queen flying backwards and stumbling to the ground. Thankfully her husband reacted in time and caught the woman, otherwise she would’ve hit the ground hard and taken a bruising.
“Di Cang, save Ling Yan, save our daughter!” She cries and clasped the man’s hand for help.
In this instant, there’s nothing more painful and frightening than to lose her child.
