Chapter 1882 “Mother is Heaven (4)”
“Mother, what should we do then?” Bai Xiachen’s eyes got all red as the worry nearly made him cry out.
Don’t assume he doesn’t care just because he claimed to be adopted; in fact, he cares about his old man quite a lot.
“Don’t worry too much, he’s Di Cang, your father, there’s nothing he can’t do in this world!” Bai Yan reassures her boy by showing a comforting smile, but the reluctance and worry couldn’t be dismissed in her voice.
She doesn’t know where the demon king was now. That meant she must find out…..
“Xiachen, go find your siblings and pack up. We’ll go visit the human world as planned.” Bai Yan attempts to shift the topic in order to avoid further pain in the room.
“Okay.” The steambun did not doubt his mother and nodded before turning for the exit.
“Xiachen, don’t let Ling Yan and Jin Tian know about this, understand?” Bai Yan drops another order after seeing her boy move, afraid this matter might rile up into a fuss that’s not needed at this timing.
Halting in his step and turning back to face her: “Mother, you can count on me, I won’t let them worry.”
Finally, once said the boy ran off without looking back, leaving only the demon queen standing there with an oppressive air hovering overhead.
……
At this moment, Suzaku was just coming out of her own room when the phoenix suddenly bumped into her mistress who came to see her.
Stumbling backward in surprise by the headbutt, “Mistress, how come you are here?”
Tightly pressing her hands onto the phoenix’s shoulder so she doesn’t escape, “Suzaku, do you know where Di Cang went? I want to hear the truth.”
Flinching at the sudden question, the phoenix woman met the demon queen’s eye and spent a good second in deep thought. In the end, she shook her head.
“I don’t know… His Majesty didn’t tell us anything so we don’t know where he intends to go.”
Bai Yan’s hand slowly loosened. It looks like Xiachen is not wrong, Suzaku and them don’t know anything….
“Di Cang had Xiachen pass me the word: saying I cannot go to the place that he’s going. Why is that the case?” Bai Yan’s sight never left the other person’s, looking for any sign of hesitancy.
Sure enough, Suzaku got quiet and leaving the air very tense. After a good while of this awkwardness, “I really don’t know…”
Taking a step back, Bai Yan’s figure began to shake, her smile transforming into a hysterical laugh of bitterness. “Is that so? Fine, I’m going to take the kids back with me to the human world. Since I don’t know where he is, I won’t waste anymore time on the matter. But if word comes that he’s in danger, you must come find me, understood?”
“Mistress…” Suzaku didn’t like this either so her heart was very tense like someone’s grabbing at it and ripping it apart.
There’s only one place that is forbidden to mistress since she is a human…. The place only us demons can go! I want to tell her, but her going would only bring more harm to the king than helping….
