Chapter 1054 “Zhong Yu’s Scheme (2)”
Squeak~
With creaking of the door for the second time today, the young man known as Zhong Yu steps through. When he saw how ugly the kid’s expression was towards the filled bowl of soup, his face instantly sank from the picture.
“My Prince, this soup… is it not to your taste?”
Squinting up his eyes, Bai Xiachen began examining the new entry up and down like he’s thinking of something and on what his next course of action should be.
Under that scrutinizing gaze, Zhang Yu found himself starting to tense up in fear. What’s going on? Did this kid figure it out? No! It’s impossible, us demonkin have no knowledge in regards to alchemy, and this Dan pill is something I bought from a human years ago. That person said it can make the taker lose their memory so the prince couldn’t have known the soup is drugged!
Half a minute later, Bai Xiachen’s boisterous laugh suddenly broke out and brought the other side back to attention: “Of course not Uncle Wolf, how can I refuse your good intention?” Picking up the bowl, the kid takes a big swing at the liquid and gulps down the entire thing in one move. When done, he didn’t forget to wipe the corner of his mouth to emphasize how much he enjoyed the flavor.
Seeing this, Zhang Yu inherently felt relieved and laughed aloud as well: “Please get some rest My Prince, I will go down first and come back later to organize everything.”
“Alright,” saying nothing more, the boy went ahead and turned to the bed again. When he did so, the little steambun deliberately covered part of his mouth to hide that sneaky smirk he was making.
It’s unsure how much time has passed, but by the time Zhang Yu returned to check up on the occupant, he was already showing off his real face of cold light.
“Brother Yu.” Coming up from behind was a young woman of similar age to the male. She’s also eyeing the little boy currently sleeping on the bed with her own gaze. “Is this the crown prince from the Demon Realm?”
He gives a slight nod as confirmation: “Sisi, you must remember, from this point forward you are his mother, and he is your child.”
“Don’t worry Brother Yu, Fifth Elder have already told me everything.” Making a bright smile at the mention of their plan, “I will do everything within my power to help you, you can be confident in my acting.”
Unbeknownst to the two scheming individuals though, the sleeping little guy had jerked so slightly due to their conversation. Nevertheless, the reaction was a brief one and quickly returned to the quiet state from before…..
“Xiachen, Xiachen, wake up….”
Slowly opening his eyes with a frown, Bai Xiachen found himself being confronted with a smiling and tender face. Its that of a woman’s around the age of twenty something, a young one and barely older than his own mother’s.
Towards the sluggish and silent stare from the boy, Sisi’s (wolf lady) reaction was to turn to the man behind herself for instruction.
Understanding he should take the lead, Zhang Yu smiles and came forward: “Xiachen, you were attacked before so your memory isn’t so good right now due to the injury. I am your father, and this is your mother, now do you know us?”
Bai Xiachen didn’t answer still, only staring up at the man and woman standing there. Towards this display, Zhang Yu began to doubt himself and made a furrowed look.
This shouldn’t be, did the drug make the kid go stupid? It was supposed to only make him lose his memories, not wipe his mind completely to the point of damaging it?
Exchanging a look between themselves, the wolf lady known as Sisi went ahead to bring the little steambun into a warming hug. It’s the type of a kind mother’s embrace, which was exactly what she’s trying to go for.
