Such a beautiful girl, how can I hurt her? I really canât do this, Iâm sorry Ruo Xi....
âMu Ying, you take care of the princess while I go finish some business outside. If anything happens, call me immediately.â Dragon Flame leaves after giving this instruction.
Though the old goat still felt uncomfortable trusting Winger completely at this stage but he believes the guy wouldnât try anything while in the palace. Its far too secure and hard to escape if he does.
Once they were alone, Wingerâs gaze promptly turned to the baby girl, his eyes warm: âPrincess, your mother the queen.... what kind of person is she?â
Heâs been told for a very long time that the woman Ruo Xi hated was a vile being for ages, nowâs his chance to find out the details for himself.
Showing a proud face upon having her mother mentioned, Di Ling Yan happily obliged the request by propping her chin very high: âMy mother is the best person in the world. Sheâs beautiful and kind, and I want to be exactly like her when I grow up... Maybe not exactly since sheâs so excellent, but I will be the second closest to Mother.â
Speaking of the last bit in her sentence, the baby girl has gotten that brow furrowed up due to her own words.
âPrincess,â Mu Ying smiles warmly and interrupts, âit is getting late. If we donât hurry to dinner then all those delicious foods will end up in the princeâs tummy.â
âAh?!â Ling Yan immediately jumped, her face urgent: âI need to hurry, otherwise Jin Tian will devour everything again and I wonât get any.â Without delay, she led the way on her own for the exit.
This was exactly what the maid wanted to happen. She may not have any hostility towards this stranger, but sheâs not foolish enough to think heâs a person that she shouldnât be wary of. In any case, the maid doesnât want the princess to stick around for too long less he does something unexpected.
The negative opinion towards Winger right now was honestly unwarranted. His entire focus has been shifted to the past, to be exact, the time where Yun Ruo Xi explained her reasoning for changing so much thanks to the demon queen.
âYou are right, when I saved you I did it out of good intentions. Who doesnât want to be kind and good to others? But what did I get in return? I was so kind to her, yet she stole my fiancé! If you hadnât been so late in coming, would I have experienced all those hardships? I wouldnât, I wouldnât thatâs what!â
âYou donât know what she did to me. She ordered all beasts to hunt me down, and my strength stagnated as a result of the injury I sustained. Bai Yan could clearly get me to become that old cootâs discipleâs as well back then, all she had to do was speak up. But guess what, she didnât and left me in the dark.â
âFurthermore, it was she who abandoned the Celestial Lord and hooked up with Demon King Di Cang on her own. Even when she didnât want it, she wonât let me have my own happiness.â
âThat womanâs heart has always been poisonous. At least I was good-hearted and saved you. If it was her who encountered you back then, you would be dead now.â
âI really pity Di Cang. A woman like her canât possibly educate a child to be good. Eventually she and her breed will be a scourge to both realms. By then everyone will be plagued by their evil.â
