Enlightenment seems to dawn on Bai Yanâs face after that verbal exchange. Gleaming with light in her eyes, everything simply clicked into place.
No wonder, no wonder Ning Yuan and his daughter would try to drive me away so much. Perhaps that man does like my mother from the hearts down, but this girl Ning Yu though, why is she so obsessed with someone thatâs not her real biological mother? It just doesnât make sense, especially to this extent where she would resist anyone getting close. Perhaps its due to that demonic beastsâ¦.
Sure enough, Ning Yuâs heart fell into a fluster over the look sheâs receiving from Bai Yan.
Did this slut discover something?
No!
She canât!
Even Pa doesnât know about my secret, how did this slut see through to my thoughts?
âSo thatâs why. Mother, whereâs that demonic beast of yours?â Bai Yan asks her mother with a smiling face.
Blinking her eyes at the question: âHeâs currently injured right now and is resting in his lair. Yanâer, do you want to meet him? If you do then I can take you to him.â
Ning Yuâs fist once again clenched up with her chest tightening from suffocation. It couldnât be helped. Sheâs infuriated at the moment due to what Bai Ning said there. In the past, she has repeatedly asked to go meet that demonic beast and was refused time and time again due to the eccentric nature of that creature. But thereâs no way this petite girl would take that lying down considering her character of course, thatâs why she secretly snuck along during one of Bai Ningâs outing and learned of an amazing secret.
Due to the ladyâs refusal to accept servitude from the creature because of how much she cherishes him from saving her life, the demonic beast nevertheless insisted on returning the debt and promised to become the familiar of Bai Ningâs daughter!
Of course, the emotional attachment Ning Yu had for her Auntie Ning was very real too, but compounding that emotion with the benefits of controlling an incredibly powerful creature was a huge boon! Thatâs more than enough reason for the petite girl to become possessive and territorial.
And this secret desire, well, letâs say the girl herself never divulged it to anyone, including her old man Ning Yuan.
âOkay, I will go back with you and meet that demonic beast. I can see where heâs hurt and perhaps help with his injury.â Bai Yan then returns her attention to the middle-aged madam with a sneer, âBut first I need to deal with this matter here.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat are you planning to do?â The madam stumbles back a few steps again.
âYou claim to be my mother so you should know me very well right?â
Shuddering inside, the madam stutters her response over the worsening situation: âI-I, how would I know?â
âYou even know about my motherâs demonic beast, what wouldnât you know? Let me take a guess on what your next words are. Hmm⦠The two guards I brought along, theyâre also given to me by you, correct? After all, my ability is so poor so itâs normal to expect that, am I right again?â
The madam gulped, shaking in her reply now: âWell of course. They got turned by you because you sold your body to the old one and deceived the maid I gave to you!â
