Even though Mu Ying promised her not to say anything, but Yu Yao has never been one to trust others so easily. She must go confirm itâs the case in order to be reassured and telling her youngest daughter would do nothing but make trouble.

Demon City.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Inside the newly constructed palace, Di Cang was searching high and low for the two people he wanted to find. Sadly, despite his efforts, he couldnât find a single trace of their being in the courtyards or rooms.
Going slightly white in the face, he makes a grab for the nearest demon soldier: âWhereâs the queen and prince?â
Startled and unable to process the question, the poor guard had to take a good moment to answer: âThe queen and prince said they wanted to go out for a walk because they felt stuffy inside. They havenât return yetâ¦.â
They havenât return yet?
The manâs face instantly changed into an ugly shade. Hurrying to close his eyes in order to sense for his wifeâs presence, the demon king didnât wait another second before his body disappeared in a gush of wind for the outside.
â¦â¦.
Not long after the kingâs departure, First Elder also returns from his trip of recruiting the ten maids for the princess. But when he saw the trembling appearance of the palace guards around himself, he couldnât help but wonder: âWhy are you all acting so nervous for?â
Literally squirming from discomfort, the guard in question cried and wept as he spoke: âThe queen and prince ran away from home again, we didnât stop her and now the kingâ¦. Heâs very angry.â
Sure enough, the elderâs face went stiff like a rock. Bursting with anger as well, he stomped over and grabbed the person by the collar and yelled from the top of his lung: âYou useless things! Donât you know the queen is pregnant? You actually let her go out on her own? What if something happens to the prince and queen! Do you want us all to die!â
The impending fate of that future left all the guards within earshot of his outburst crumbling to the floor. They didnât dare to move, nor did they dare to ask for mercy because it would only make things worse.
Frustrated, First Elder didnât want to waste time on unimportant matters now: âYou two go arrange the living quarters for these maids. Iâm going to go handle this issue first because you useless idiots canât do a simple job of looking after the royal family!â
âYe-Yes, Elder.â The leading palace guard complies and hanged his head in depression.
Not a moment too late after the elderâs departure, the leopard ladies were brought over by another attendant charged with their guidance. But when Mu Xue saw the moot appearances of these soldiers, the greedy girl couldnât resist coming over to ask: âHey Mr. Guard, is the relationship between your king and queen very bad? Why does she constantly run away from home?â
Frowning at the annoyance: âOur king and queenâs relationship have always been good. You donât need to fret about it.â
Despite those words and the constant tugging of her older sister Mu Ying from the side, the little greedy lass didnât budge and smirked: âIs that so? Why does the queen keep wanting to leave then? I bet its because she got wind of the king wanting to take in a new consort, thatâs why sheâs left out of anger.â
The king wants to take in a new consort?
The expression of the guard froze over the idea.
No wonderâ¦..
No wonder the queen was anxious to leave today, it must be because the king broke her heart, which made her leave out of spite.
âMu Xue!â Now openly growing anxious in the face, Mu Ying desperately wanted to put a stop to this before its too late. Lowering her voice into an urgent whisper: âStop this. This is the Demon City and not the Leopard Clan, no one can protect you here.â
Obvious Mu Xue didnât agree with that idea and puckered up those lips.?Not like I said anything thatâs false, why is she being so pushy?
