Adorable treasured fox: Divine doctor mother overturning the heavens! Chapter 625 - Leave (6)

Chapter 625 “Leave (6)”
Those below trembled at the threat. They honestly never expected the man to be so overwhelmingly powerful.
So what if they are immortal and cannot be killed due to special reasons? Under the man’s means, they would taste the flavors of hell for all eternal.
Clank!
After the surrendering of the first, the rest quickly followed suit and dropped their weapons. Humbly taking to the ground, they shivered in compliance: “Greetings to our king.”
On the side, the red-haired man known as Fire Plume had long been astounded by his lord’s magnificence.
Aren’t you bunch from the Celestial Realm?
How can you bunch be such cowards?
What you lot are doing is even below animals!
Quit joking around!
Twitching in the corner of his mouth, the fire bird looks over in awe at Di Cang to speak: “Sire, these should be last of them. In a bit we would be able to break the seal as you wish.”
The dozens of people who appeared before were all too pitiful in terms of strength, that’s why Di Cang destroyed them without a second thought. Only this last batch are worthy of getting a glimmer of his attention, hence the offer to surrender.
“Mmm,” the man’s face appears calm, yet for some reason his heart’s been feeling a little uneasy inside. “Fire Plume, did you carry out the task as I instructed?”
Making a startled expression, the fire bird answers without delay: “Sire, are you talking about the matter of informing the queen regarding your brief departure?”
“That’s right.”
“This…” Making an awkward face, “I bumped into the young miss from the Fox Clan while on the road so I had her pass on the message in my stead.”
“What did you say?!” Di Cang’s complexion instantly went dark, his momentum growing direly oppressive: “You didn’t go back in person to inform my wife or her people?”
“Sire, that lady from the Fox Clan…. She seemed reliable enough. There shouldn’t be anything wrong, right?”
“Damn you!” The man grew furious at his subordinate’s inability to follow a simple order.
Now he finally understood why his heart’s been feeling so uneasy lately. Originally Di Cang assumed his woes were about breaking the seal and the issues that might arise along the way, but now it seems it was all because he’s worried about his wife!
Now General Fire Plume was starting to panic as well. The unease only amplified once his lord just disappeared from the spot, causing him to realize he just made a huge mistake.
“It can’t be, something happened to Her Highness?”
If it really is because of my mistake and caused the queen to be harmed…. Then even in death it won’t be enough to make up for it!
……
Since that evening where she overheard that conversation, Bai Yan has never stepped out of the White Moon Palace again. Di Xiao Wan of course came a few times afterwards, unfortunately the princess was denied entry with no proper reason given.
For the one closest to Bai Yan, the little steambun would not be oblivious to the increasingly strange air hovering around his mother. As such, the boy had stopped playing around lately and kept to himself to accompany the woman at home.
“Little Rice, has it been twenty days since then?” Bai Yan asks after opening her eyes from training.
Giving a careful look up at his mistress, the baby tiger weakly answers: “It has Mistress.”
“I was only planning to wait for him for fifteen days, but now its been twenty days since then.” Making a bittersweet smile, she’s clearly disappointed in her voice: “And… he hasn’t shown himself since the coronation ceremony.”
“Mistress…” Able to sense the sadness in her heart, Little Rice tries to make up an excuse at times like this. “Maybe Di Cang isn’t in the palace? I’m betting that one is a fake!”
Shaking her head at that claim: “No, that can’t be it. Right from the beginning me and him have had a agreement – he must tell me whenever he takes a long or short leave. But he never came, nor did he send someone back to inform me. There’s nothing, not even a letter….”
