This woman is going to release me from the contract?
Dragon Flame couldnât believe what he was hearing and went stiff in his body,
And at a time like this? Shouldnât she be using us as a shield instead to fend off danger, why is she allowing me to escape?
For a while, a look of disapproving and confused light filled the old goatâs eye.
In his view, the impression he had of humanity was that of greed, cunning and selfishness. Finding someone that contradicts his belief was just⦠itâs making his brain unable to process the reality.
âDragon Flame, I donât know if it was really me who locked you down there, but if it were me then Iâm sorry and is returning your freedom to you.â
For a long time, the old goat didnât remove his gaze from the ladyâs face, only staring at her like a baffled child. That was untilâ¦. the power binding his soul to Bai Yan completely disappeared, thatâs when he realized she didnât lie and spelled the truth.
âGo!â Yelling now, âGo as far as you can, donât come back! Tell Xiachen and Dragony not to avenge me until they get enough strength to do so!â
Suddenly, an intense force explodes out of Bai Yanâs body that pushed the old goat several meters away to give him space to flee.
â¦â¦
Back over in the inn, Bai Xiachen was very dissatisfied right now as she stared in a bored fashion at Half Qing Sing whoâs sitting across from himself on the table.
âWhere did my mother go? Why wonât you tell me?â
Iimpatient as she was, the snake answers honestly nevertheless: âShe said you are to not involve yourself in this matter so just wait here.â
Bai Xiachenâs expression sank at that. Jumping up from his chair, he began to stroll towards the snake to do something. But before the boy could do anything though, Half Qing Singâs face suddenly changed into that of shock and disbelief, causing the kid to also frown at the strange behavior.
âWhatâs wrong with you?â
âI⦠I donât know, your mother suddenly lifted the soul binding contract between me and her.â
She lifted the contract?
A dramatic change of color took place across the little steambunâs face: âMother must be in danger! I must go find her!â
âNo!â Seeing the boyâs about to run out the door, Half Qing Sing hurriedly caught up and blocked the path by holding his shoulder. âNo, you canât go to her, I promised to keep you safe. Even if the contract between me and her is gone, I will still carry out this last mission out of consideration for keeping her word.â
âGet out of my way!â Without any indication, a monumental level of power exploded out of the boyâs body, sending the snake flying back several feet before she stumbles to the floor.
This sudden increase in strength and oppressive air left the lady in utter dismay. She never expected the child to be this powerful and instinctively gulped out of fear from the heartâs down.
