Chapter 404 “Di Cang’s Here (1)”
“If she is the queen then I would’ve had to rethink the idea. However, she hasn’t been recognized by the Demon race yet. Even if I do kill her now it won’t taken as treason.” The old man righteously states his reasoning, certain his logic would work.
Qing Luan would never lie. If I don’t take this risk then it would spell the end for us snakes! Therefore, the deed must be done even if it will incur the loss in favor from the king!
“Outrageous!” Finding how disrespectful the old thing was towards herself, Di Xiao Wan was starting to get angry by the snarl she made, “My brother is the king! When did he ever need the recognition of the rest of the Demon race? So long as he recognizes my sister-in-law then none can say otherwise!”
“Not to mention… Sister-in-law is my brother’s destined partner in life! It’s been prophesized for the past millennium. Despite knowing this you still want to move against her, if that’s not treason then what else are you trying to do?”
This damn old thing, how dare he dismiss my warning! Just wait until I get back to the Demon Realm, then I will show him who’s boss!
Apparently the snake ancestor was done talking now. Releasing his powers, this old snake made even the sky seem oppressive due to the pressure he’s exuding.
“Sister-in-law,” showing a bitter smile, Di Xiao Wan was out of options now, “This old thing seems to not have me in his eyes. I’m afraid my status is the demon princess is useless here.”
Frowning at that remark, Bai Yan grew increasingly worried in her eyes: “Little Rice, take Xiachen and Wang Xiaopeng away. I will follow up from behind soon afterwards.”
“Mother, I am already a man, I can protect you too,” the baby boy pleads, showing how much he wishes to stay.
Now that’s what you call a filial son. Warmed inside over the boy’s bravado, Bai Yan honestly felt like she couldn’t ask for more in this lifetime.
“Hoho,” likely not amused by Xiachen’s words, “it doesn’t matter who it is today. This human woman must die!”
If it was in the past then he might’ve been hesitant to take action due to the little prince’s presence; however, his physical body remains in the Demon Realm. So long that’s the case then he can do as he pleases while ignoring the extreme rigidly of the bloodline difference.
So, his attention was now completely undivided and focused entirely on Bai Yan’s existence, thus allowing him to press down all of the pressure in one spot.
“Sis… Sister Bai Yan….” Shivering with fear in his legs, Wang Xiaopeng nearly wet his pants at the omnipresent pressure: “How come Xiachen’s father isn’t here yet? He is so powerful, why isn’t he coming to save us yet?”
Don’t assume just because the chubby’s been keeping up a strong appearance that he’s fine, he’s not. In fact, he’s ready to faint at any moment.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to any of you.” Sinking in her expression until it’s a total gloom, Bai Yan went alone and closed in on the ethereal figure by herself.
This was no easy feat. It may look easy to the others to walk towards a single entity, but it’s dreadfully difficult because following every step that she took was the increase in pressure. It’s like having someone dump a giant weight onto her every time.
“Bai Yan!” Suddenly raising her bloodied head, Qing Luan abruptly starts to cackle maniacally like a crazed beast after seeing her enemy suffer.
