âSuzaku,â Bai Yan pinches her eldestâs nose before turning to the phoenix woman, âI will be leaving the four of you in charge of the Demon Realm while weâre away. If anything happens, contact me immediately, understand?â
She and Suzaku have a contract in their bodies so passing on the message would be as simple as a will of their mind.
âDonât worry Mistress, I will be here in the Demon Realm until your return.â Nodding in confirmation, the phoenix gives off an air of confidence and reliability.
Holding the twins with both hands, Bai Yan led the way in front: âWeâre leaving, Iâll take you two to meet your grandshifus.â
â¦â¦
Itâs another year of plentiful blossoming for the peach trees on the island where Bai Yan once called her home of the Holy Land. Itâs beautiful and serene here, but not all was at it may seem from the surface.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Standing on the edge of the lake surrounding the island, several disciples of this great power curiously voiced their opinion as they took in this sight.
âI didnât expect such beautiful scenery to be in the Holy Land, butâ¦. why is such a good place not being used by the little princess? (Chu Yi Yi) Can it be, this is where the lordâs deceased wife once lived?â
Another disciple to one side immediately sent a look at this ignorant peer of hers as she shot the theory down. âYou are new so itâs normal that you donât know. However, there are some things you must not spout without the pertinent details.â
âSenior Sister Zhang Yun, does that mean you know about the Holy Islandâs secret?â The girl in pink turned her head to look at the older female disciple known as Zhang Yun, her bright green eyes curious and nosy.
âThat is of course. It is said that the master of this island is the strongest person of the human world, and sheâs also the apprentice of the three great elders. Even the Holy Lord and Princess are extremely fond of her, making her position within the Holy Land equivalent to the Holy Lord himself.â Zhang Yun crosses her arms around the chest and gloats her chin high like some superior lecturing their subordinates, âSuch a person is one that we should all aspire to be. Sadly, Iâm afraid even meeting that person would be impossibleâ¦â
The pink girl popped her mouth into a round shape at this incredible story: âBut I have been in the Holy Land for nearly two years, why have I never seen her? Is she not coming back to the Holy Land?â
âWho knows?â Zhang Yun shook her head, âI heard that she married and followed her husband to some far-off place. The three great elders believe she would return soon though, thatâs why weâre all cleaning the Holy Land of late.â
âBut isnât the Holy Islandâs owner the strongest person in the human world already, what man can win her heart?â The pink girl sways her hip left and right like an innocent maiden thatâs captivated by this wondrous story, âIf I were her, I would rather be on my own since I already have such strength. It wouldnât sit well with me to be overshadowed by a man when I can clearly be at the forefront.â
âDonât mess around, that kind of thinking is best kept to yourself.â Zhang Yun hurriedly pulled her peer over and cusped her running mouth so other unrelated disciples wouldnât hear, âBefore I was only a disciple at the outer ring, thatâs why I never got to meet that incredible woman. But her deeds and achievements, just listening to some of the stories from the older seniors would get my heart burning with excitement. And guess what, I heard she already has a son before coming to the Holy Landâ¦.â
