Chapter 568 “The Avoided Huang Xiao Ying (7)”
The first thing she thought of was the Lan House. After all, it was this family who stood by her side during times of distress. That kind of bond and kindness could never be forgotten.
“The tea from this teapot can help increase one’s spiritual energy, hmm… this is useful for Grandpa Bai back at the Medicine Sect. And this one…”
Because of Suzaku’s words earlier, Bai Yan ended up not holding back at all and grabbed the best things there were, thus filling her storage sack to the brim of exploding. “Suzaku, I saw a lot of precious herbs growing around the mountain when I was coming up. I intend to take them as well, is that fine with you?”
For Bai Yan, this Vermillion Bird would never say no, not in the past and most certainly not now. Giving a nod immediately: “The things on this Demon Mountain is all yours. There’s no need to ask me if you wish you can take them all.”
“Okay here, take Little Rice, I’m sure the two of you have a lot of things to catch up upon.”
Readily throwing the baby tiger into the other side’s arm, Bai Yan then took her son’s hand: “Son, let’s go, we’re going on a harvesting trip.”
“Okay Mother, I will listen to you.” All smiles, the boy starts getting all excited for the trip.
“Let us go then.”
Hand in hand, the mother and son pair then left the cave, leaving behind one tiger and one bird in the background who kept eyeing each other awkwardly.
“How did you become so weak now?” After a few minutes, it was Suzaku who broke the silence with her helpless sigh.
Little Rice on the other hand only blinked innocently like he didn’t understand: “I don’t know what you are talking about, I don’t know you.”
“You are too weak now,” Suzaku continues her one sided conversation with a shake of that head. “The enemy that the Queen will face in the future is very strong, you can’t protect her like that. Your priority now is to increase your strength, you can’t….”
But just as Suzaku was planning to lecture the baby tiger further, Little Rice did something unbelievable by bringing out a pig trotter from out of some secret hiding spot and took a huge bite out of it.
“Little Master is finally gone, I don’t need to hide it anymore! It’s all because of him that I had to hide my snack for so long.”
If I let Little Master see this trotter then he will definitely take it away from me.
Suzaku’s face was abysmally dark right now. She wanted to lash out by tossing this blasted cat away but endured only thanks to her years of experience in self restraint.
“When did you become so gluttonous? Where did the one who only knows how to cultivate and train go? Are you going to only come to your senses once your soul awakens?”
Despite all that talk, Little Rice didn’t care and continued to munch on his trotter. To this baby cub, food stands above all, including past companions!
“Forget it,” Suzaku couldn’t take it anymore and just tossed this big glutton away. “Eat and eat until you explode then!”
Humph, even his character has completely changed now that he’s reborn. I hope Azure Dragon and Black Turtle won’t disappoint me as much as he is, otherwise… I might just strangle the three of them so they get reincarnated again!
……
Demon Mountain.
Under the coverage of the white glowing light in this terrain, Bai Yan was fully enjoying herself as she harvested all the herbs she deemed suitable. “Son, we’ve picked all the things we can take without harming the ecosystem. Let’s go now.”
Then just as the pair was about to return back up the slope, that’s when they heard the series of footsteps from behind, thus causing her to wrinkle up that brow….
“Godfather, that’s her, she’s the one who refused to listen to my persuasion and forcibly entered the Demon Mountain.” The voice was crisp and clear, almost charming even if not for the content in that sentence. “Fortunately she got lucky, Lady Suzaku is currently in dormancy so she’s able to avoid hard times. Otherwise, she might already be dead by now.” Having said that, Jun Ruqing’s eyes were obviously showing disappointment.
Why did Lady Suzaku not kill this woman who encroached onto her territory?
