Chapter 1855 “Departure (1)”
Heavenly Domain.
With a beautiful lake and mountain landscape, the pond water faintly ripples with the light breeze bristling against the surface.
Bai Yan very much enjoyed this serene scene as she sat on the edge. However, her moment of peace quickly came to an end after a voice spoke up.
“Milady.”
Glancing over to the source from the rear, the demon queen slightly frowns at the sight of Elder Sky, “You’re looking for me?”
A bit taken aback for a second, the old grandpa decides to speak his mind after some thought: “There is something I like to tell you, it’s just that I don’t know if I should say it.”
“What’s the matter?” After a muse, Bai Yan figured this must be important for this old man to come at this timing.
“That day when I gathered everyone to stop you from healing Song, I…. ordered one of the guards to catch Miss Ling Yan.”
When saying this, Ji Sky never once left eye contact with Bai Yan’s face due to fear of offending the lady. And sure enough, the demon queen’s expression darkened. Thankfully the lady didn’t lash out there, thus calming the old elder somewhat for continuing.
“Later, according to the reports of the guards, Miss Ling Yan’s body felt like it was on fire when they grabbed her. I believe this knowledge should be passed onto you in case something is wrong.” Ji Sky’s eyes were full of worry when explaining.
He could guess that there must be a flame burning from within that body. It’s not causing any major issue for now, but with time and age, that flame would grow and eventually harm those around. That’s not a good thing unless placed under control.
Getting up with a sinking feeling, Bai Yan’s mood no longer felt good: “I understand, thank you for informing me about her condition. Do not let my parents know about Ling Yan’s condition, I don’t want them to worry about their granddaughter.”
“Yes, Milady.” Ji Sky exhaled a heavy breath that somehow lifted his shoulder up a notch.
With the lady’s ability, she will definitely figure out the little young miss’s condition. It’s no big deal if I don’t inform the monarch and mistress.
Bai Yan didn’t say much more and strolled towards the backyard where her daughter played with the tiny phoenix.
“Mother?” Di Ling Yan bloomed with delight the second she noticed the oncoming figure.
Running over with excitement plastered across that face, the baby threw herself into her mother’s embrace and planted that head into Bai Yan’s chest. Though unintentional, her sweat was not smothered onto the demon queen’s dress due to her playfulness.
“Mother, I love hugs.” The pipsqueak murmurs in content.
Not going to disappoint, Bai Yan did the only thing she would do for any of her children and happily wrapped her arms around that tiny soft bun for a warm hearty hug of her own.
