Chapter 288 “Bai Yan Arrives”
It’s just a demon beast, nothing but an animal at its core. Only that stupid Dong Ruolan would worship the phoenix like her ancestor.
……
Chi Xia Kingdom.
Above the streets of the royal capital, a huge dragon was zooming through the sky at lightning speed when the pedestrians became glued to that shining light caused by the reflecting scales. Their looks were full of shock and astonishment.
“Oh heavens… did I see it wrong, is that a dragon?”
“It really is a dragon! Just a few days ago the city was already in an uproar over that phoenix flying to the Dong House, now it’s a dragon? What is this world coming to?!”
“I’m willing to bet that dragon is also heading to the Dong House based on the direction its flying at. When did that family know so many people that can domesticate this many demon beasts?”
……
Bai Yan and the others were naturally oblivious to the discussions down below, nor would they care actually, they’re too preoccupied with their own worries: Chui Yi Yi and Di Xiao Wan were clinging onto each other over their boss’s hair raising cold expression, while Lan Xiaoyun only had a worried face regarding her mother’s fate.
Before long, the Glass Dragon had stopped above the Dong family’s estate. Using its massive body to overshadow the very sun, its presence alone was more than enough to cause the occupants inside to scramble out of their hiding.
However, two very important key figures were missing and that was the seniors of the House.
“Son, let’s go down.” Holding up her son in hand, she smoothly lands onto the ground without an ounce of discomfort for the young boy.
“Xiaoyun, I will bring you down with me, don’t be afraid.” Jumping down at the same time as Bai Yan, Di Xiao Wan only released her friend after making sure the girl was safe and sound.
If it were in the past Chu Yi Yi would surely compete with Di Xiao Wan over this, but since the mood was very bad, she relented and went ahead by herself.
By now Fu Bao Yun and Dong Ruo Qing had also rushed out of their room after getting wind of this commotion. Seeing it was Lan Xiaoyun in her anxious state, this hateful woman only released a sneer.
“Lan Xiaoyun, you came back with the perfect timing. I have some good news to tell you.”
Gnashing her teeth, the girl herself didn’t want to waste words, “Where is my mother and my second brother!”
“Lan Xiaoyun!”
Coming out from behind her mother’s back in high spirit, Dong Mu Xue was very arrogant in her attitude: “Is that how you talk to your elders? My mother is your aunt, how dare you shout at her! Did they never teach you proper manners?”
Shaking due to her rage, Lan Xiaoyun wanted to spew fire right now. Snickering a cold one: “Respect? When did your mother ever respect my mother? When did you ever respect my mother? Now you actually have the nerve to talk manners?”
“What do you mean by that?” Revealing a sardonic smile, Fu Bao Yun’s next sentence was rather cynical: “Your mother is but a married daughter of the family, what contribution does she have to offer the Dong House? It’s only right my Mu Xue doesn’t respect her. Now you actually have the nerve to say that so confidently? Did your mother not give you a proper upbringing?”
Meanwhile on the side, Di Xiao Wan and Chu Yi Yi were both truly flabbergasted by this shocking display of shamelessness.
Who’s acting so confidently?
Her daughter not respecting the elder is right, while Lan Xiaoyun not calling her aunt is a poor upbringing?
Such double standard was something both girls never seen before. This would be their first, and boy was it a showstopper for them.
“I will ask it one last time, where is my mother!” Her fists clenching into a ball as she said this.
If it weren’t for her grandparents here, Lan Xiaoyun would’ve already attacked these two.
