âMaster, next time if I find treasure again, I will leave some useless ones that Queen Mother doesnât want for you. Donât get angry anymore, okay?â The dolly baby tugs at the teenâs sleeve, his face looking all pitiful and cute.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
If only Moli didnât say something like that, but now that he did it only made Mo Li Shang even sadder.
I knew it, after meeting Dragony this little guy is no longer mine. Even the treasures he finds is going to Yan Yan first and the useless ones are left to meâ¦. Why do I feel like Iâve become redundant?
Giving Moli a mournful look, the teen frowns when he responded: âMoli, I feel like you should just become Yan Yanâs pet instead.â
âOkay~!â Talking about being excited. In comparison to the sadness in the teenâs face, the dolly baby only showed happiness over that suggestion.
âMaster, itâs you who loves me the most. You knew what I was thinking without me needing to tell you.â
ââ¦â¦â He became speechless
Oh I am so sad, what to do?
Still oblivious to the change in his masterâs mood, Moli turns to Dragony and makes a huge stupid grin.
âSister Dragony, my master doesnât want me anymore so Iâll be yours and Queen Motherâs pet from now on.â
Puckering her lip to one side: âI donât want.â
âWhy?â
âI hate pigs.â
Clack!
At this moment Moli could actually feel his heart shattering into countless pieces. Turning to the teen using those puppy eyes of abandonment, the dolly boy tears up and was about to cry.
âMaster, she doesnât want me so Iâm coming back to you.â
Howeverâ¦. Mo Li Shangâs been heartbroken by his actions already. Instead of comforting him like in the past, the teen would rather turn away and find a quiet spot nearby to train.
â¦â¦
Time flows like the river water and another month quickly passes.
Inside the Fox Clanâs manor, Hu Mei was having a fine day by relaxing under the shade of this tree and away from the burning sun. As a bonus, she was making full use of the free time and carving a jade pendant of her own using a knife.
âMiss,â itâs unsure when the maid Hu Qi came over, but upon seeing the pattern on the item her eyes flashed with surprise. âThis pattern, isnât it the same as that womanâs?â
Hu Mei makes a shallow smile: âThatâs right. I saw how pretty it was that day and wanted to carve one for myself. Itâs almost finished, see?â Tying it to her waist, the fox demoness slowly got up from her spot and made a charming smile. âHu Qi, come, weâll go have a stroll outside.â
âYes, milady.â
Contrary to the peaceful calm scene in the foxâs home, the other demons living around the border city were blowing up with news.
The reason was no other, itâs the letter sent by their king about Bai Yanâs about to arrive at their location. Unfortunately, none were able to claim they saw the queen, thus causing an air of unease among them all. They know full well if something happens to Bai Yan then Di Cang would never let them off.
â¦â¦.
Somewhere not far away from the border city, the Eagle Clan has taken up settlement here in this mountainous forest where not many knew how to reach due to its difficult terrain. And inside its main hall, a middle-aged man was waiting restlessly when an eagle guard came running through the door and taking to the knee.
