A visible light blooms from within Bai Xiachen’s hopeful eyes after hearing Bai Yan’s suggestion. “I understand Mother. Come Ling Yan, we will go find your brother Jin Tian to play.”
When saying this, the boy’s face was all red due to the excitement he had over what he has planned.
Mother is right, Jin Tian is young still, he won’t understand what’s going on at all. I can easily manipulate him onto that throne. And with his IQ, he won’t understand for at least a few more years. By then it will be too late for him, kakaka!
Looking at the way their prince was sprinting away with the princess in tow, First Elder and the rest of the palace staff were just flabbergasted. Why does it look like the throne to the Demon Realm is some unwanted prospect? Do they not know there are many demons out there who are constantly dreaming of that position?!
“What are you all still standing there for?” Bai Yan asks with furrowed brows after seeing the dazed faces, “Hurry and go search for that Mu Xue, I want her before me! Also, Mu Ying, you are not allowed to leave my daughter’s side from this point forward, nor are you allowed to let her leave the palace grounds, you understand?”
“Yes, My Queen.” Complying by taking a half bow, the leopard maid didn’t resist and respectfully answered.
……
At the same time somewhere over in the manor where the leopard chief was staying, Mu Yu Tian rushes inside and snaps at the nearest attendant: “Is Mu Xue back yet? If she comes back then tie her up and bring that girl to me!”
Straggling forward was an old senior that appeared to be quite frail in this household: “Chief, Miss Mu Xue hasn’t come back yet, we have no word of here whereabouts at the moment.”
“She didn’t come back? Didn’t I tell all of you to go look for her before I left for the palace?!” Grinding his teeth, Mu Yu Tian hated this situation. He’s lost his wife today, and he nearly lost his entire tribe because of that rascal of a daughter, what more could go wrong?
In contrast to the hectic atmosphere going around the city, the palace grounds were rather peaceful right now. For example, Bai Yan was leaning against the comfortable bed she arranged inside the garden pavilion when the three steambuns were busy frolicking around in their playful antics along the grasses.
“Big Brother, Big Brother.” Under the bright sunshine, Di Jin Tian kept chasing his older brother with a look of grievance along his gluttonous face: “You only hold Ling Yan and won’t hold me, I also want to be carried.”
Why does Big Brother never carry me? Is it because Ling Yan is cuter? That’s why Big Brother doesn’t like me? Or is it because I’m too greedy during dinner? Does Big Brother not like greedy kids?
Showing puppy eyes: “Big Brother, I… I can eat less when we have dinner later, can you hold me too?”
Casting his gaze downwards at the gluttonous boy that’s clinging to his leg, Bai Xiachen sterns up along the face like an adult lecturing a child.
