Bai Yan’s expression grew frantic when she noticed her boy being flung backwards due to the glow. Even if half her body had already been inside, she pulled out right away and ran to her boy to help, “Xiachen, are you all right?”
Shaking his little head, “I’m good Mother, I’m not hurt….”
“That’s good.” Relieved by the answer, she glanced back to the strange white light with deeper understanding of why the snake couldn’t enter.
“Mother, what’s going on?” Dragony had also ran over by this point and showed a worried face, “Why can you go inside and Gege (big brother) can’t?”
Speaking with a furrowed forehead: “If my guesses are right, this place restricts the entry of those with the blood of demons.”
The snake instantly choked upon the truth being revealed here.
No one with the blood of a demon is allowed in? That means the reasoning I can’t leave this place is because I’m a demon?
And……
Staring with grits and stones between her teeth, Half Qing Sing wanted to strangle the blasted kid right this second. “You two fooled me!”
This boy is also a demon, how did I not see this!
He couldn’t have picked up the giant sword earlier, meaning they bluffed me!
I lost my freedom because of a bluff, a bluff….
The snake almost got the life sucked out of her at this realization, looking all dejected and dry.
Still smiling innocently like usual, Bai Xiachen’s reply was damning: “That is because you are too easy to fool, I have never seen such a stupid snake before.”
Going dark in the face, veins could literally be seen popping along the snake’s forehead due to that remark. How dare he! How dare he say something like that after doing this to me!
“What should we do now Mother?” Ignoring the death glare coming his way, the boy asks with his cute face crumpled up due to the situation.
Crouching down to get to eye level: “You and Dragony wait here for me, I’ll go in alone and see what’s in there.”
Tensing up in the heart, the little steambun clung onto the woman’s sleeve out of reflex, his face all pitiful and sad. “Mother, I will worry about you….”
“Don’t worry, nothing will happen to me, not to mention I’ve already contracted those two already. Half Qing Sing and Dragon Flame will tell you if I’m alive through our bond.” Getting up from the crouch, “My first order to you both is to protect my son and daughter. If anything happens to them while I’m not around then you can be sure the price will be worse than death, understand?!” Harsh and fierce, her voice sounded like a ghost crawling out from the earth, making the two servants there all eerily uncomfortable.
Despite getting comforted and having extra security around, Bai Xiachen still didn’t like the plan. Winding his little hands around his mother’s waist, his face told everyone he’s not going to take this weakness of his lying down.
