Chapter 1026: Who Dares Stop Me?
If all else failed, she would pretend to be dead.
Bu Yaolian held the runes in her hand. “Your Highness, we’re fated to die together.”
The crown prince smiled at him. This aunt was so nervous.
She seemed scared of death.
What was there to be scared of? He believed that his parents wouldn’t let him die.
Bu Yaolian only wanted to cry when she saw him smile. “It’s better to be a baby. You don’t know pain or suffering.”
The little prince pouted. I’m not. I’m smart.
The door was kicked open, and Bu Yaolian stood up fearfully. “Don’t come over. I’ll kill myself if you come over!”
Su Shenfan looked at her trembling and screaming and dropped his forehead into his hand. “Stupid woman, it’s better to live than to die. Can you only think of suicide?”
If it wasn’t because he could see how scared she was, his words would’ve been more vicious.
When Bu Yaolian raised her head and saw him, she burst into tears. “Shao… Shao Zun, you’re finally back. I thought I was doomed…”
Bu Yaolian rushed toward him. Su Shenfan opened his arms and hugged her. “How can I die so easily?”
He looked at the little crown prince in Bu Yaolian’s arms. “Eh, this baby is quite calm. He’s not scared at all from the noise. Look at you. You can’t even compare with a baby. He’s not even crying.”
Bu Yaolian sniffed. “I didn’t cry when I was this young either.”
“Tsk, you can still argue. The older you get, the more shameless you become.” Su Shenfan took out a handkerchief and threw it to her. “Hurry up and wipe your face. How embarrassing can you get in front of the little crown prince? When he grows up, he’ll definitely laugh to death at you.”
“He’s too young to remember.”
The crown prince smiled. Aunt, I’ll remember you very clearly.
“Look at him. Does he look like he won’t remember?” Su Shenfan found it amazing that this child could actually understand.
Bu Yaolian calmed down. “Shao Zun, what’s going on?”
“Prince Zi and Princess Zi ran away with the supreme pill. We’re rounding up everybody else.”
“What about Qian’er and the rest? Have they been captured?” Bu Yaolian asked fearfully.
Su Shenfan blew a strand of hair off his forehead. “She’s been captured, but she’s in Mr. Xiao’s hands. Xiao Jingyun can’t do anything to her.”
Bu Yaolian frowned. “Wasn’t Mr. Xiao going to fall out with Xiao Jingyun?”
Shouldn’t he take the opportunity to seize the throne now?
“Why should he? When Xiao Jingyun dies, he’ll naturally take over.”
“Then how will Xiao Jingyun die?” Who would kill Xiao Jingyun now that Prince Zi and Princess Zi had run away?
Wasn’t Mr. Xiao going to do it himself?
“The Archfiend, the people of Heavenly Palace Cliff and the Demon Realm won’t let him go. Mr. Xiao just has to wait patiently for Xiao Jingyun to die.”
Su Shenfan touched her head. “Get ready to leave.”
“Can you… can you leave?” Bu Yaolian asked. Now that everybody was being detained, how were they going to leave?
“Who can stop me from leaving?” Su Shenfan said confidently.
“Then how are we going to leave?”
The supreme pill had been stolen. As one of the guardians, Su Shenfan had a huge responsibility. It would be strange if Xiao Jingyun and the Archfiend let him go.
Su Shenfan hugged her. “By walking right out, of course.”
“Ah… really?”
Bu Yaolian looked at him in confusion. Although she didn’t have much spiritual power, she wasn’t so naive and gullible.
