Chapter 954 “Wing Clan’s Elder (3)”
He finally remembers where he’d seen the woman!
Hurrying to move forward with bursts of sweat spewing outward, the elder didn’t wait another second in his welcoming bow: “My Queen, how come you didn’t send a messenger ahead of time when visiting? I could’ve come out to receive you.”
Queen?
The two gatekeepers who were still acting all arrogant mere seconds ago had now taken a three sixty in their attitude. First it was casting a disbelieving look at their elder, then at Bai Yan’s face before their own expressions changed into that of horror and dullness.
“First Elder, you said, she’s…. she’s the queen?”
The elder makes a deep frown in the forehead when sweeping his sight onto two fools: “Why are you not showing your respect before Her Highness?”
Whatever glimmer of hope they still had was crushed following that comment. They’re feeling cold right now, freezing even because they knew what’s going to happen next.
“What are you two dazing around for?” Seeing how there’s no movement from those two, the first elder’s brow got tighter and tighter.
Suddenly getting on their knees, the gatekeepers began to bang their head against the cold hard ground: “Your Highness, it is us who are blind and foolish for not recognizing you, please have mercy and spare us from death!”
Watching with a ridiculing smirk, Bai Yan really had to hand it to these two in how quickly their tunes changed. “The guards of the Wing Clan really got some attitude there, thinking they can do whatever they like and whenever they like! Not only did you two hurt my people, you also have the audacity to demand I surrender myself? I’m really wondering where you got such nerve and authority!”
Her words were like bullets, hitting the ones in charge with lethal precision because the elder wasn’t so calm looking anymore, in fact, he’s shaking when he ran over to stomp the two idiots.
“You two got some nerve of steel, how dare you act arrogant before Her Highness. I will report this to the king in its entirety. No matter what sort of punishment he installs on you, I won’t say a word!”
This was it for the two guards. Crumbling in despair, they knew with the king’s involvement their fates would be sealed. Everyone knew how indulging Di Cang was to Bai Yan. Even if they’re not killed for their crime, being harshly punished was the least of their problems.
Pleased by the elder’s words, Bai Yan didn’t want to continue dwelling on the matter. Summoning up a beam of light, she slices the rope binding the pig’s leg.
“Go check on your pet’s injury. If there’s any then we’ll add that to their case.”
“Oh!” Mo Li Shang answers with a nod as well. Surprisingly, the teen found no such injury after inspecting the pig’s body. He was perfectly fine, merely frightened and shocked by the experience.
“Oink~Oink~” Clinging hard to the teen’s coat, Piggy leaked both tears and snot from that aggrieved face.
Oh precious baby here is so scared, baby here needs treatment in the heart.
Understanding full well what the pig’s trying to imply with that face, Mo Li Shang wanted to both smack him on the head as a lesson and scold him for running away. However, he also didn’t have the heart to do that since he knew the poor boy had gone through a lot.
Puckering his lips to one side: “Just don’t run around alone next time. Let me check ahead so hide behind me from now on.”
The little pig desperately nods in return. From now on he likely won’t ever take the lead because he came far too close to never seeing his owner again….
“Queen,” the elder makes a boisterous laugh then, “how did you know that the Wing Clan is taking up house in the demonic mountain range here? It can’t be, did you specifically come to meet these old bones?”
Bai Yan’s expression went black like the bottom of a pot: “You’re overthinking it. I was chased here by my pursuers, that’s why I fled into this mountain range. I didn’t expect the Wing Clan to be here either.”
“Chased here?” The elder makes a stunned face, “Who is so bold to attack Your Highness? Is it those humans around the border?”
