âMother,â Dragonyâs complexion had gone white due to her own urgency, âthere is a bad woman trying to kill Gege (big brother), please go save him!â
Bai Yan nearly lost her footing once she heard that outcry. Grabbing the girlâs shoulder, thereâs a unmistakable fear in her trembling voice: âWhereâs Xiachen, where is he?â
âMother, Iâll fly you to Gegeâs location, please get on my back.â
Unable to afford any time to explain, the little missy transforms back to her dragon form and crouched down so her godmother could get on with ease.
âQueen!â The guards were now also growing extremely troubled after realizing what theyâre doing. Running over to plead: âHis Majesty said its too dangerous out there right now, please stay here and let us go instead!â
Stern and unyielding, âTell Di Cang Iâll be back very soon. Dragony, go.â
âOkay.â Not wasting another second, Dragonyâs body zipped through the sky like a lightning bolt, leaving only a trail light of her ever being there in the first place.
âThisâ¦â one of the guards choked out his worry, âshould we go inform the king?â
âBut the king is in battle with those people right now, I fear His Majesty wonât be able to separate himself from the fight. We better wait until he returns and then report this.â Another demon guard says after weighing their choices.
Unlike some of the others out there, these demons are the ones that have only recently came out of the secret domain so they are very much unaware of Di Cangâs love for Bai Yan. Itâs not just pampering, itâs mad love!
Soâ¦. though not intentional, theyâve pretty much dug their own grave for not reporting the queenâs departure.
â¦â¦
At the front of the city gate, hordes of demons are now standing at ready against the enemy that has come to attack their den.
âDemon King Di Cang!â Crying out this was a middle-aged man in opposition to the defenders, his smile mocking and derisive. âDonât you know whose property this stretch of land is? How dare you animals come to the Celestial Realm? Who gave you such courage?â
âSo far I still havenât given my queen her brideâs gift.â
ââ¦â¦â None of the Monarchs could comprehend that reply.
âIt was not easy for my queen to fancy a place⦠since she wants something now, itâs only right I lay down my claim to give her.â Though mild and light in his tone, Di Cangâs words were ridiculously effective to the point where its making waves among those whoâs heard it.
Then again, who could blame these Monarchs for reacting so strongly? Theyâve theorized thousands of possibilities for this invasion. Ambition? Desire for power? Greed? But now itâs nothing but a desire to flatter his wife with a brideâs gift? What the hell? What sort of reasoning was that?
âHahaha!â The middle-aged man breaks out into a wild laugh, his voice ringing out like a bell in this night. âDo you think you can subdue the Celestial Realm with only your strength? How ridiculous! I will show you today that this world is not something you can touch with your filthy hands!â
