Bai Xiachen pursed his lips and stared at the young king with wariness in those eyes: âNangong Zhun, I treat you like a brother so you better not have any ideas about my sister.â
Just now, this bastardâs eyes were about to stick to Ling Yanâs body. Anyone can tell what heâs thinking with a glance!
A smile rose from Nangong Zhunâs young handsome self. Patting his bossâs shoulder: âBoss, your sister is my sister. In this life, I wonât let anyone bully our sister.â
After hearing this, Bai Xiachenâs wariness finally eased up a little: âYou must remember your words today. If you dare hit on my sister then me and my father will break your legs you know.â
Faintly chuckling with a pang of sweat forming on his forehead, the young king understood how close he came to his own doom.
Thereâs no way he wouldnât know about his bossâs protective nature of this young baby girl. After all, even before Ling Yan was before, the steambun had already been talking about how he would cherish a little sister.
âYan Yan, me and Zhunâer is purely here to see you.â The dowager smiled lovingly as she spoke, âNow that weâve seen your achievements, I can finally tell your mother Yueâer that she can be at peace.â
Bai Yanâs heart shook with emotions at that mention. Sheâs got a lot of feelings about her adopted mother.
Lan Yue was not her biological mother, but in her memory, this adoptive mother regarded her as her own. If it werenât for the things that happened later on, maybe the previous Bai Yan wouldnât have been so miserableâ¦.
âIf you have the chance in the future, do come back and visit us in the Liu Huo Kingdom more often. We wonât bother you now. Zhunâer, accompany me to see Old Madam Lan and the rest of the Lan House. I havenât seen my old friend for some time as well.â
The dowager sighed lightly due to how fate turned out.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
If my son Nangong Yuan (former king) had known Bai Yan would turn out so incredible, would he have stopped Nangong Yiâs dissolution of the marriage arrangement?
Unfortunately, there is no ifs in life. Even if Nangong Yi doesnât withdraw the marriage, I doubt Yanâer would continue to accept that arrangement with her temperamentâ¦.
âYes, Grandmother.â Nangong Zhun remains very respectful of her grandmother. Giving the tiny milk bun another look, the boy smiles gently as he leaned down: âSister Ling Yan, if you come again in the future, do come visit me. I will be happy to show you around if possible.â
After he said these words, the young king promptly turned away to depart under Bai Xiachenâs popping eyes.
Bai Yan quietly watched at the pair left. She too wanted to spend more time with those she knew, but she also knew this reunion was short lived and forcing it would only make it more painful.
Suddenly, right as she was getting a little moody due to the short amount of time she had, the demon queen noticed two familiar energy signatures flying over from the sky.
âShifu Zhongnan, Shifu Zhongbei, how come you two are here?â
In the sky, the two old figures gradually descended onto the courtyard, their cheerful voices resonating in the air.
âHahaha, you didnât come see us in the Fairy House so we naturally had to come after we got word of your return.â
Bai Yan grinned at that comment: âYou know you didnât need to come. I had planned to come see you two tomorrow. But since youâre here now, that would save me another trip to the Fairy House so I guess itâs a good choice.â
Everyone she wanted to see was now seen, meaning she wonât need to spend another day traveling and could go back to the Demon Realm at morning.
âLassie, I havenât seen you for so long, how are you lately?â Zhongbei laughed heartily as he touched the ground, âBy the way, how come your husband didnât accompany you on this trip?â
