In that split second when Bai Yan smiled at him, Mo Li Shang could swear to the heavens that heâs never seen something so beautiful in his life. Heâs finding it difficult to turn away and was blinded by this image.
âWhatâs the matter?â she asks with a furrowed forehead after seeing the dazed look from the teen.
Scratching his head in a shy manner: âYan Yan, you look so good, better than any woman I have ever seenâ¦.â
Finding the comment funny, she responds with another question: âBut donât you have amnesia?â
Since your memories arenât working then how can you remember the women you met before?
Giggling a bit at that logic, Mo Li Shang didnât care and got all sweet in his words. âEven if I have amnesia, I still think Yan Yan is the most beautiful woman in this world. No one can compare.â
The winged piglet thatâs been watching this whole thing in the teenâs arm could only look at his owner in contempt like heâs some sort of despicable flirt. Then from out of the blue, Piggy starts sniffing the air like heâs picked up something.
âWhatâs wrong with him?â Bai Yan asks after noticing the little guy jumping down from Mo Li Shangâs grasp.
Answering her question was the pig making some oinking sound and then pointing his trotter at somewhere in front.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYan Yan, Piggy is saying he smells the scent of his kin. The place up ahead should be where his clansman is located.â The teen explains after carefully listening to his friend.
That was unexpected. Making a startled face, Bai Yan eventually makes a suggestion after musing over the idea: âThen we should go check out the place. Perhaps we can even find Piggyâs family and get some clues as to what he really is.â
Not going to object to the idea, Mo Li Shang immediately picks up his little friend to leave: âThank you Yan Yan.â
Together, the four of them began their journey in search of Piggyâs family. Though itâs not something Bai Yan had planned ahead, but it never hurts in this case to help a friend.

Demon Realm.
Inside the majestic and mighty looking halls of this grand palace, Di Cang was currently eyeing his subjects with a bored expression while leaning that face against his own palm: âDid you pass on the letter I made to that Hu Bud Wei?â
Fire Plume was the one in charge of that mission so he had a duty to make the report despite there being others who went on his stead. âSire, I have personally tasked my most trusted subordinate to the task. They already handed the package to that person so you can be at ease. If Her Highness does visit the border city, there wonât be any danger.â
Note: Fire Plume is the fire bird that went with Di Cang into the human world the first time around.
âBut did you give her facial portrait to Hu Bud Wei?â
Freezing in the face, a bead of sweat came trickling down Fire Plumeâs cheek. Portrait? Is he talking about the queenâs portrait?
âThisâ¦â Hurrying to clear the evidence of his unease from the face by wiping himself, âSire, the humans also have a mean to mask and change their appearance. Having a portrait doesnât mean much. In the case of Hu Bud Wei, he will surely be deceived considering his intelligence if someoneâs really out to trick himâ¦.â
Di Cangâs gloomy gaze now locks onto the bird manâs body as if heâs demanding an explanation of what heâs implying.
âSoâ¦â completely wet behind his back now, âhaving the portrait of the jade token is enough. That item is infused with Sireâs own personal signature, no one can impersonate that feature. Furthermore, every clanâs chief should have a picture of the jade token by now, including Hu Bud Wei at the border city.â
This time nothing will go wrong. If I do make another mistake then His Majesty definitely wonât give me another chance, that I canât affordâ¦.
No longer diving for more, Di Cang instead turns the topic to another matter: âYou can go down now. Also, go inform the various chiefs to come see me. Those inside the secret domain should be returning soon. Once they do, it will be our forces true collision with those bastards from the Celestial Realm!â
