Chapter 972: Meeting the Sorcerer Queen (3)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Dawa was no longer nervous.

Dawa held her hand and said, Sis.

The way he called her sister made the Sorcerer Queen's smile even brighter.

The Sorcerer Queen took Dawa's hand and brought him to the side to sit down.

It's been a long time since we last met. Let me take a good look at you.

As the Sorcerer Queen spoke, she stroked her brother's face. Dawa was a little worried that his human skin mask would fall off. Of course, he was overthinking. This mask was almost no different from his own face.

Xu'er has still lost weight, the Sorcerer Queen said with heartache.

It was very touching for such a domineering woman to lower her status and dote on someone. Dawa was almost moved when they met. It was no wonder that Wen Xu risked his life for this sister.

Greetings, Sorcerer Queen. Yu Wan bowed.

Only then did the Sorcerer Queen look away from her brother and look at the woman who was pregnant. You're the person Xu'er brought back?

Yes, Yu Wan said.

Come forward and let me take a look, the Sorcerer Queen said with dignity. The doting gentleness she had when she spoke to Wen Xu was gone, replaced by the invincible dignity of a queen.

Yu Wan walked forward neither servile nor overbearing.

The summer of the Sorcerer Clan was not as hot as Nanzhao and the Great Zhou. However, people who were pregnant were more afraid of heat than ordinary people. Yu Wan was wearing a loose translucent shirt with a lake-blue high-waisted dress inside. Her outfit was very cool and did not show her stomach.

How many months has it been? The Sorcerer Queen asked.

More than six months, Yu Wan replied.

Lift your head, said the Sorcerer Queen.

Yu Wan obeyed and slowly raised her head.

Yu Wan had a palm-sized face. Although she was a little plump now and her cheeks were chubby, she looked very pleasant. It was not that there were no more exquisite facial features than hers, but they were not like her. When they were separated, they were not the most outstanding. When they were put together, they were so beautiful that they looked like immortals. The Sorcerer Queen's gaze carried a trace of scrutiny and sized up.

Where are you from? The Sorcerer Queen asked.

From the black market, said Dawa.

Dawa interrupted when she was clearly asking Yu Wan. However, the Sorcerer Queen did not blame him. Instead, she turned to look at him. Is there anyone else in the family?

Dawa said according to the lines he had prepared long ago, No, she's an orphan girl. She's a maidservant in the Dark Hall. When I saw her, I bought her.'

You. The Sorcerer Queen tapped Dawa's head and glared at him, but she did not say anything to blame him. There are also many women in your backyard. Unfortunately, after so many years, there are only two girls, and they're both born from concubines. If this child is a boy, I'll naturally favor her. This means that she was giving Yu Wan her identity.

Yu Wan thought to herself, How are you going to favor me? Could it be that you're going to depose Second Madam and promote a woman of unknown origin?

It seemed that the Sorcerer Queen really doted on her younger brother.

Of course, there was also the possibility that the Great Elder and the Sorcerer Queen were going to attack the Third Elder.

They needed the Third Elder now because the Sorcerer King was still alive, and also because the Sorcerer Queen did not have a suitable heir. They needed to join forces with the Third Elder and still weigh the Sorcerer King's power. However, once the Sorcerer King was gone, the high-ranking Third Elder would become their greatest hidden danger.

The Sorcerer Queen pulled Dawa along and talked a lot. During this period, her two trusted witches, Li Chuo and Hong Luan, served tea to Dawa one after another. Dawa looked like he had been eaten alive by his lover and did not even look at the two of them.

The Sorcerer Queen rewarded Yu Wan with many good things. She got someone to bring Yu Wan to the side hall to rest. Then, she talked business with her brother. I heard that you brought that child over?

He's waiting outside, said Dawa.

The Sorcerer Queen got someone to call Zhou Jin in.

The nine-year-old child had lost some weight, but his back was straight. His temperament was as relaxed as bamboo, and his eyebrows were exquisite. He was as beautiful as unpolished jade.

The Sorcerer Queen's son was twelve years old and had inherited the Sorcerer Queen's beauty. However, he was still inferior to the little boy in front of him.

When Zhou Jin saw the Sorcerer Queen, he did not bow. He only stood there calmly.

What's your name? asked the Sorcerer Queen.

Zhou Jin, he said.

Even the elders, who had seen much of the world, found it difficult to withstand the Sorcerer Queen's aura. However, a nine-year-old child actually stood still like a mountain.

Come here, the Sorcerer Queen said.

Zhou Jin walked over without looking sideways. The Sorcerer Queen raised her hand and tore open his clothes!

Dawa stood up in shock! For a moment, he almost thought that the Sorcerer Queen wanted to hurt Zhou Jin!

Zhou Jin was abnormally calm, as if the person whose clothes had been torn was not him at all.

The Sorcerer Queen narrowed her eyes at him and then looked at his back.

Who tattooed you?

I don't remember, Zhou Jin said.

The Sorcerer Queen looked at him. Aren't you afraid of me?

Even the Sorcerer Queen's own son did not have the guts.

He did not have the mark of the Sorcerer King on him, but this tattoo was really suspicious. This child's bearing and courage were even more suspicious. The Sorcerer Queen could vaguely see a hint of the Sorcerer King's shadow when he was young.

Sister? Dawa spoke.

The Sorcerer Queen gestured for the servants to bring a clean shirt over and personally put it on Zhou Jin. Your brother-in-law has been sick for a long time. It's rare for you to come back. Come with me to see him.

Is he finally going to see the Sorcerer King? Dawa could not help but feel excited. He glanced at Zhou Jin and saw his face when he came.

Strange, strange. Was he the Sorcerer King's son? Why was there no reaction at all when he was about to see his father?

The Sorcerer Queen stood up and gently held Zhou Jin's hand. Do you know? You're very similar to an old friend of the Sorcerer King. Perhaps the Sorcerer King will recover from his illness when he sees you.

On the surface, Yu Wan was resting in the room, but she was actually paying attention to the movements in the bedchamber. She saw the Sorcerer Queen hold Zhou Jin's hand and walk out like a gentle and benevolent mother. Dawa followed behind her.

The three of them left the harem.

Yan Jiuchao gave Shadow Thirteen a look. Shadow Thirteen understood and followed.

Who is that? The Sorcerer Queen looked at Shadow Thirteen and asked.

My personal guard, Zhou Jin said.

The Sorcerer Queen gently rubbed his little head. I'll protect you. You don't

neecl guaras m tne palace.

Zhou Jin did not say anything.

But since he wants to follow, so be it. The Sorcerer Queen smiled.

The group walked around the imperial garden and entered a palace filled with purple flowers.

Zhou Jin stopped in his tracks when he saw the purple flowers in the courtyard.

The Sorcerer Queen took a deep look at Zhou Jin and said with a smile, You recognize these flowers? These are the flowers of the Sacred Clan. They were planted by a witch back then..
