âGet married again?â Bai Xiachenâs eyes became filled with surprise and confusion.
The girl chuckled at his expression and continued: âI heard the monarch was already married to the man, but at that time they didnât declare it to the world so that didnât count. This time she plans to re-marry again and let the shameless females in the world not to rob other peopleâs men.â
A touch of anger gradually appeared in Bai Xiachenâs eyes as the murderous impulse surged within his soul.
I need to keep it down. The most important matter is finding Mother and Father first, the rest can come afterward. Otherwise, they will get in your way before you even see themâ¦.
âSister, isnât there a saying that seeing is believing, and hearing is false? None of you have ever seen them married, yet youâre so set on believing the story? What if that queen isnât the second one, that it was the monarch who forced him to marry her instead? Didnât the guy leave the estate and elope? I think that says something about the story being sketchy.â
The girl chuckles softly: âLittle brother, why are you so cute? Donât you know about the monarchâs position in the domain? With her capability, why would there be a need to cheat? The monarchâs will is absolute, nor can she lie. Whatâs more, itâs well known she despises those who go behind their partner and cheat. We do not doubt that one bit!â
Bai Xiachen lightly purses his lips, âThatâs not necessarily true, maybe in the future another side to her will come to light.â
After dropping this sentence, he didnât bother to argue further and walked in the direction pointed out by the girl. In his view, these people got brainwashed by the stories passed onto the public; therefore, any further argument would be pointless and futile. Only hard evidence would prove otherwise.
The girl in the meanwhile was utterly shocked by what sheâs heard. Watching the departing back of the steambun, she didnât know whether to be angry or amused right now.
â¦â¦
Once past the Endless City, Bai Xiachen quickly found the Endless Forest as indicated. He did not rush to look for Bai Yan, instead he found a lake to wash himself of the dust and grime.
âI can be lazy when Mother is not around, but Iâm about to see her. First I need to make myself presentable, otherwise she will be angry. Mother doesnât like dirty children.â With that thought, he smiles and glances up to the bright sunlight.
After washing his face and checking his own ragged clothes, heâs suddenly befallen with a dilemma: âWhat should I do about clothes? I snuck out of the Demon Realm without preparing anything. If I go in this state will Mother be upset?â
But I canât exactly go see Mother naked, can I?
Even I dare to do that, Father will definitely be upset and toss me away.
At that point, it will be impossible to stick to Motherâs sideâ¦â¦
After pondering for half a minute, Bai Xiachen finally decided and did nothing.
If Mother and Father dislike my wardrobe then thatâs fine, itâs no big deal if I act all cute. Mother always fall for thisâ¦.
No longer hesitating, the steambun began to walk in strides for the depths of the Endless Forest by following the tracks left behind by the public crowd. It wonât be long until he arrives at the Monarch Manor at the pace heâs going.
