At the end of the day, her voice sounded weak as those eyes nervously scanned the area for said demon king. Chu Yi Yi was honestly afraid of Di Cang bursting out of hiding and breaking her neck when sheâs least expected it.
Itâs scary to even think about it in fact.
âChu Yi Yi!â Bai Yanâs black face spoke with gritted teach, âYou smothered me with your salivaâ¦.. if thereâs a next time then you better keep three feet away from me at all times!â
Shrinking her neck in at the outraged demon queen, Chu Yi Yi knew her friend had a phobia against dirty things: âIâll go pack up right away! You go see my father now bye!!â
Dropping that down, the Holy Land princess disappeared in a blur. Itâs a new record for this naughty witch when it comes to fleeing.
âHumph, weâre going too then.â Holding her twins with each hand, Bai Yan began to move when she suddenly stopped and shot a glance back at the three old gramps watching her from behind.
âShifus, when Iâve solved everything, Iâll be backâ¦â
As reluctant as they are about separating again so soon, the three elders didnât try to keep her behind.
âOkayâ¦â Thatâs all they could utter out, stuffing those emotional words inside for another day.
â¦â¦..
By the lake, the disciples were still silently waiting for Bai Yanâs possible appearance. They are very excited at the opportunity of meeting the owner of the Holy Island.
Sure, they arenât certain of Bai Yanâs identity and didnât know her name, but the reaction from Chu Yi Yi told them all they needed to know. Earlier, all they managed to get out was that a woman had headed to the island with a bunch of kids, and then the princess bolted away in glee without asking for any details. Itâs well known only one person could get Chu Yi Yi so riled up in this place.
Finally, their patients were rewarded by a red female gradually appearing in their sight.
âThisâ¦â the girl in the pink hurried forward and nervously spoke first. Thereâs an unbridled level of worship in her eyes, âExcuse me, are you the rumored worldâs strongest and the owner of the Holy Island?â
Bai Yanâs footsteps stopped. Turning around, she faintly smiled at the inexperienced youngsters: âNo one can claim to be the strongest. As for the owner of the Holy Islandâ¦. You could say that.â
Several of the disciples giggled with glee as they got the confirmation.
She admitted it! She is that legendary person!
âSen⦠Senior, thatâ¦â the pink girl looked shy and timid, âYou are my goal. In the futureâ¦. I will train hard. I hope I can one day be qualified to follow you from behind.â
First giving this brave child a glance, Bai Yan suddenly smiled like sheâs looking into her own past: âWhatâs your name?â
âAutumn, my name is Autumn with a surname Forget.â
âForget Autumn? Alright Autumn. When you grow strong enough, you can come to meâ¦â Bai Yan liked the name and didnât reject the idea.
That done, the demon queen went ahead to continue on her way. Even though her steps arenât big or wide, but her figure had disappeared entirely from the disciples line of sight in mere moments.
âSenior Sister Zhang Yun, just now she⦠did she say yes?â The pink girl was so excited that she couldnât hold it down and began jumping, âbut I didnât expect to have this chance to speak with the strongest person in the world!â
Zhang Yun chuckled at her juniorâs cheerful voice like she just got a present: âActually, you shouldâve asked her for some pointers instead. Perhaps your abilities wouldâve grown by leaps and bounds as a result. Didnât you mention you were trying your hands in alchemy? She is also famous for her Dan pills you know.â
