âYou go back.â The pipsqueak barely manages to smile there, âI donât want anyone to lose their life for my sake. If you or anyone else does, I will live the rest of my life out in guilt. Please leave Auntie Butterfly.... He wonât necessarily kill you if you do.â
Growing heavy in the eyes, the female elder did not respond to the pipsqueakâs plea. âYouâre so old already Gu Lao, why must you bully such a young child. Donât you have any consciousness at all? Miss Ling Yan is so well behaved, everyone in the manor adores her, how come its only you and Gu Ya who dislikes her as so?â
Gu Lao casts a cold hard glance at the baby girl before calmly replying to that series of questioning. âBecause she doesnât deserve to live!â
None of the people who takes away the ladyâs happiness deserves to live. Even if itâs a two-year-old child, they are no different....
In this very second when the air felt ominously heavy, a loud explosive noise suddenly rocked the ground as a huge crevice began to open from the direction of the ruins.
Gu Lao turned his head in surprise, apparently not understanding what had happened again. However, Di Ling Yan did as she caught onto the familiar whiff of smell hitting her nose. Without hesitation, she stopped crying and toddled towards the direction of that huge crack.
âMother...â
I knew Mother would return. Mother always keep her promises to me!
âThis...â Butterflyâs eyes were equally as shocked as the old bastardâs.
Not so long ago, the ruins had already sunk and caused everyone to lose hope, and now thereâs a huge crevice forming on the ground from out of the blue? No matter how experienced she was, the female elder still had trouble making sense of all these changes.
Within a moment, a red light flew out of the huge crevice and came before the pipsqueakâs view.
Bai Yanâs expected things were bad based on her intuition but she never expected things to be this bad. Her daughter was covered in blood, for that, her heart wanted to explode as her lung suffocated due to the extreme anger swelling out from within.
âLing Yan!â In a flash, the demon queen lunged towards her own baby and pulled her into a protective hug.
This reunion was heartwarming of course, but for the golden chicklet on the womanâs shoulder, this meeting wasnât so nice as he got blown right off due to the blasted speed. If not for those tiny wings, he mightâve fallen heads over heels from the incident.
âWho did this?â Bai Yanâs voice trembled as she asked, the murderous intent all apparent along her eyes.
Answering this was Butterfly who made a regretful face: âMrs. Di, Iâm sorry, I couldnât protect your daughter properly....â
âMother,â growing tense due to how the conversation was evolving, the pipsqueak promptly spoke in Butterflyâs defense, âItâs not Auntie Butterflyâs fault, itâs that bad; old man over there. She did everything to keep me safe. Also, also, itâs not as bad as it looks, my blood has healing properties, see? The cut on my hand isnât so bad, itâs only a light scratch, it doesnât hurt.â
Despite the tears trickling down the babyâs cheek, she continues to smile to act tough when in fact the dagger she used hurts a whole tone!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
