Chapter 874: Chapter 874 - The Mainland’s Change (3)

Now that her son’s been appeased, Bai Yan immediately focuses in on the aggrieved looking missy that’s been looking at herself the entire time: “Were you scared as well Dragony?”

Despite the gentle tone she used, it only had the counter effect and causes the lass to cry out like a waterfall. At the same moment, Dragony also threw herself at those arms, causing the tears to stain the clothes all over as well.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Queen, you are the best person in the world to me, better than those relatives of mine. I don’t want to…. I don’t want anything to happen to you.”

Patting that weeping girl’s back, a touch of aching pain grips Bai Yan’s heart: “I know Dragony, I know… Since the day I took you in I have already thought of you as my daughter. Aside from me, Xiachen and Little Rice is also your family. If I’m not around in the future then you must support each other, understand?”

Nodding in a seemingly understanding manner, “Okay, I will wait for you to come back to us with His Highness like usual.”

Shifting her attention over to the four men now that she’s done comforting the children, Bai Yan smiles first so she doesn’t get yelled at.

“You rascal…” Zheng Qi sounded almost grumpy and blaming: “Would it hurt you to not scare the three of us for once?”

“I’m sorry Shifu, I know this is my fault.” Bai Yan apologizes without a second delay.

As the old saying goes, showing you’re sorry always work when it comes to those whom cares about you. This was especially true when the entire situation was caused by her lack of forethought.

“Aigh,” Zheng Qi sighs helplessly at the woman’s words, “I just don’t understand why you are so headstrong in that body of yours. Years ago you could’ve set up your own power by using the Holy Land’s influence, but you never once reveal your identity and created all that you have today. I simply can’t follow what goes that brain of yours.”

Qiu Shu Rong (third) also shoots a stare at his own student there: “Zheng Qi is right, from now on you can’t do such dangerous things again and stay right here in the Holy Land where it’s safe. You have connections in all three powers anyway, there’s no need for you to risk your life.”

“Mmm,” Bai Yan muddles through with her agreement and gets a relieved sigh from the third shifu.

As if I will let her get into danger again as long as she stays in the Holy Land??Qiu Shu Rong vows to himself inwardly.

“Oh right, I have to leave the Holy Land for a while. I estimate it will be a few days before I return.”

“You…” the third elder nearly choked at his own breath. Pointing at the woman accusingly, he’s completely red in the face and unable to sputter a word.?Didn’t she just promise me? How can she forget so soon?

Not giving any of these seniors a chance to respond, Bai Yan swiftly snatches up both kids and made a run for the outer perimeter of the forest.

Jumping up and down out of frustration, Qiu Shu Rong stamps his feet repeatedly: “Rascal, hold it right there!”

That only made the woman slip away even faster. In a flash, Bai Yan and her children were completely out of view this time instead of just running off. That’s literally godspeed!

Wanting to pursue the worrisome woman now that he’s been had, Qiu Shu Rong was just about to move when Lord Chu Ran stopped him with a hand.

“Third Elder, Bai Yan’s path doesn’t lie here, it lies in a world much further away. If we hinder her, it will only make things more difficult.”

Huffing a grunt at the Lord: “I don’t have any great ambitions, nor do I need my disciple to become the lord and master of existence. I only want her to live a safe and happy life, that is enough.”

Chu Ran smiles bitterly: “Third Elder, did you forget Bai Yan is the only one to ever walk out of the Holy Domain unscathed? In the past three years, the girl has succeeded in so many things that I can no longer see through her strength. So, the path that she wants to take isn’t something you nor I can stop.”
