âYan Yan!â A voice of joy came from behind.
Bai Yan instantly swung herself around and saw that familiar face. Thereâs pure excitement thatâs akin to someone recovering their lost treasure.
However, right as the demon queen wanted to open her mouth and say something, she got cut off by a tense hug from the other person. She could tell right away due to that trembling arm â her mother Bai Ning was scared. It didnât help either that her should had become soaked with tears a few seconds later.
âThank goodness, thank goodness youâre back....â
Yun Feng is already in danger.
I donât want to lose my only daughter too....
Such pain, I canât bear it.
âMother, were you here the entire time after I left?â Bai Yan asks with pressed lips.
Too fearful to let go of those hands, Bai Ning nods profusely like a panicking mother: âYou suddenly disappeared so Iâve been looking for you in the ruins. Itâs been three months since you were gone.â
Three months?
A trance took over the demon queenâs mind at those two words.
Itâs been three months.... Then how long did me and Father spend inside that place?
âMother, we donât have time to talk, something mightâve happened to Ling Yan. We must leave this ruin immediately.â
Furthermore, she also needs to return to save her own father so time was imperative here.
âWhat did you say?â Bai Ningâs face suddenly changed for the worse, her hand openly shaking as the grandmother gasped with horror. âYou said something happened to Ling Yan? How could that have happened? Didnât you entrust her to that Elder Sky?â
Ji Skyâs personality or way of handling things didnât sit well with either lady, but thereâs no question about the old seniorâs strength. There are unlikely anyone capable of getting past that old man unless he wills it.
âI donât know, I only got this sinking feeling that itâs bad. My intuition has always been strong so I canât ignore this.â That said, the demon queen reached back with a hand towards her own chest on where the heart lies: âMother, we need to leave now.â
The ominous sensation has grown to the point she could barely stay put anymore. Sheâs seriously afraid she might be too late.
Yet instead of moving right away, Bai Ningâs face got extremely white as she stood there.
Noticing this strangeness: âMother, whatâs wrong?â
Perhaps the voice of her own precious daughter finally brought the grandmother back to reality. First making a distraught face, Bai Ning spoke with a stuttering: âYan Yan, after you were gone, I began to panic and searched high and low for you. Then I recalled it was Di Cang who sent me here so I was certain he could somehow locate you. But when I wanted to go outside and find a way to contact him, the ruins suddenly started to collapse. The exit... it was sealed off at that time.â
Di Cang sent my mother here to the Heavenly Domain?
Bai Yan became shocked by this detail.
Those enemies which attacked the Demon Realm still hasnât been eradicated so thereâs no way Di Cang could leave unless he hands their sons off to someone reliable. Since thereâs no one at that caliber, Bai Yan understood her husband wouldnât be able to help. But whatâs the deal with sending Bai Ning over? When did that guy have such an ability?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Of course, these problems werenât the main issue right now, saving Ling Yan was!
âDoes that mean I canât get out of the ruins?â
Bai Ning smiled bitterly: âThat might be the case.... Yan Yan, thereâs a likely chance we wonât be able to leave.â
âImpossible!â Bai Yan punched a stone pillar nearby out of frustration. âI refuse to believe that! I must leave right now, Ling Yan is waiting for me to go save her!â
Looking at the borderline crazy look in her own daughter, Bai Ning wanted to say something but swallowed the words back down at the end. She knows her consoling words were pointless and would only make it worse.
