Chapter 1149 "I'll Find You (1)"

Cold sweat takes hold across these guards' body, causing their clothes to become drenched in their own liquid. As a result, the nightly cold wind just became even chillier to the point its making their temperature drop drastically in this case.

Very soon, First Elder also arrives on scene after the battle concluded in his end. Half kneeling there, his voice was respectful and worried: "Sire, did you locate Her Highness yet?"

Grim in his voice, Di Cang's hands gripped even tighter over what he's about to say: "My bond with her tells me she should've been here."

The reply startled the elder,

How come we don't see her then?

“Then Her Highness…” the elder asks with careful thought in his wording.

But before he could finish his sentence, Di Cang had already interrupted him.

“Dig! Even if you have to dig three feet underneath, I want her located!" With wind blowing against his robe, Di Cang's eyes lands firmly onto the ground in front of himself with definite light in there.

He's sure something was amiss in this valley and he's going to find out why!

“Yes Sire!” First Elder readily complies. Cool in his voice, he turns to the two guards that's still nearby and hands down the command: "Did you not hear the king's order? Go and gather everyone! We're going to turn this entire valley upside down if we have to!"

Despite one of the demon guards being injured, the two nevertheless scuttled away without delay. They're very afraid of what the future awaits them both for failing to protect the queen.

……

At this moment back in the dark dead forest underneath the valley, Bai Yan and her two children continues to trek forward with extreme care in case there are dangers lurking nearby.

“Mother, will Baddie Father come find us once he knows we're missing?" Bai Xiachen asks with a look of guilt plaguing all over his little face.

If I hadn't insisted on coming then none of this would've happened, it's my fault for dragging Dragony and Mother into this mess…..

Tightly holding her boy's hand as rea.s.surance: “Your father will certainly come look for us, don't you worry. Besides, we can't simply rely on him to come save us, we must look for a way out using our own strength. Not to mention we've lived for so many years without him to begin with, I refuse to believe we can't leave this strange underground forest just because we're alone again."

“But…” The boy hangs his head in a dejected manner.

It's not like the little steambun was being exceptionally bleak in this situation, rather that he's taking into account of everyone involved. There's his unborn little sister here still so any sort of danger would become a major threat.

“Mother, I’m sorry…” Biting his lip while trying to hold back his tears, "I should've listened and stayed at the palace, that way Dragony and you wouldn't be in danger with me, it's all my fault…."

The remark left Bai Yan stiff as a rock. Apparently being so concerned about finding a way out has left her blind to the woes of her own son in this case, which made her feel all the more guilty for not taking better care of the two kids.

“Son, you mustn't think like that, I am very happy that you came with Dragony to look for me." Giving both kids a hearty hug, a flowery smile blossoms from her face, "Believe in me, the both of you, I will get us all out of this underground forest. Also, you are looking down at your unborn sister too much, she's very strong and will get through this just fine…."

It seems the comforting words had an effect on the boy because he's now looking upwards at the woman's face with hopeful light in those eyes again. "Okay Mother, I believe in you."
