Chapter 618 "Beating Qing Xue (5)"

Di Xiao Wan was literally moved to tears by how sensible that statement was from her nephew. It's almost unheard of to hear such wondrous things from a child of that age with all things considered.

“Xiao Yun, tell me what happened,” Bai Yan eventually calms down after stabilizing her emotions.

“I don’t know either,” the princess shakes her head cluelessly. "In the Demon Realm, none would ever dare attack us due to the superior difference of our blood. However, these people ignored our orders and even rushed us despite the fact."

“Hmm…” Slightly wrinkling that brow, Bai Yan turns her attention to the pile of near death thugs that's currently piled up along the street.

“Puppets, these people are all puppets. As puppets, they are without fear so its normal for them to not fear your lineage."

After thinking it through, this was the only answer she could come up with now that her head has cooled down. But there's another underlying issue though: why did these puppets attack now of all times?

Suddenly, Bai Yan's sharp gaze s.h.i.+fted over to the guard responsible for bringing the message. "How did you know where to find me, and why were you able to get to me in such a timely manner?" her voice carrying a threatening tone.

Plop!

Knowing he's now on the stand, the soldier promptly got to his knees in haste to explain himself. "Demons are planted all over the world here, and each kind has their ways of communicating through the air. That's how I came to know Your Highness's whereabout, it was through the words of others."

The explanation was downright impeccable, forcing Bai Yan to remain on the pa.s.sive side due to her inability to judge whether its false or true. However, the sixth sense within kept nagging in the back of her mind that its been premeditated…

“Xiachen, Xiao Wan, we're going back first. We will wait for Di Cang to return before continuing to discuss this matter." Loosening her brow, Bai Yan decides to leave things as they are for now. "Also, send someone up to the mountains and retrieve the Snake Clan's second lady. I seem to have left that one behind due to the emergency."

Exclaiming in astonishment, the princess sounded incredulous after hearing the news: "Sister-in-law, you actually met that snake woman? Don't tell me, did she bully you?"

“That bad woman said many bad things about the king in front of Her Highness, but the queen only needed to yell once to make her kneel." Dragony decides to chime in to give the answer for she's too amazed by Bai Yan's awesomeness.

Queen is so amazing….

“I almost forgot the coronation is already completed. Now all demons in this world will fear you and do as you command. Even if Qing Xue is unwilling, there's no way for her to disobey." c.o.c.king her face in a high and mighty manner, the demon princess looked so proud for some reason.

Smiling at the girl's demeanor as well after being effected by the light mood: “Let’s go all of you, it's getting late so we should head back."

“Okay~” Bai Xiachen's interest was on the low side so his reply remains at that.

“What’s wrong?” Bai Yan turns and asked, not missing the damp mood of her son's tone.

“The gift I bought for Mother has been smashed up by these thugs. Me and Auntie spent a lot of time and effort to pick it…." The grievance in his heart manifested into the form of a hanging head and the look of tears slowly building up in those eyes.

Aching over that picture, Bai Yan's hand hurried to pull him in. "You are the best gift your mother I can have. There is nothing more important…" her voice soft and melting as she spoke.

Almost instantaneous, Bai Xiachen's droopy appearance disappeared, leaving only that dazzling smile that's as warm as the sun. “Mother, I want to go home now.”

“Okay, let’s go back.” Seeing how her son has regained his vigor, Bai Yan's mood also lightens up after being infected by that happiness.

Meanwhile in the background, Di Xiao Wan was growing increasingly unsure after seeing this heartwarming scene,

Should I tell Sister-in-law about the abnormal behavior of Xiachen earlier….?
