Chapter 1061 “The Little Devil (4)”
Casting her eyes downwards in order to avoid eye contact: “My apology but the king is not at this place. Your Highness should go look elsewhere if you wish to find him.”
Even if the panic in her eyes were only a glimmer of a flash, it’s still not quick enough to escape Bai Yan’s sharp attentive gaze.
Giving a quiet nod of suspicion: “Okay, I won’t trouble you then. If there’s a message from Di Cang though, remember to let me know.”
When her words fell, she immediately made a turn to walk the opposite way. However, if one paid closer attention, they would easily recognize how slow her footsteps were unlike before where its at a pacing speed.
Sure enough, when Sisi made a run back to inform her accomplice, Bai Yan’s head had come around to watch where she went. “This Demonic Wolf Clan, something is not right with them….”
Suddenly, a small hand reaches out and tugs at Bai Yan’s sleeve from the side. Looking down, she could see it was a young boy, but that face was as beautiful as any little girl and more.
“Is what you said all true? You are the Demon Realm’s queen?” Blinking that eyelash, the young boy asks with carefulness in his tone.
She nods: “Do you know something little boy?”
Based on the kid’s gaze alone, she could already tell he has something to say.
Nodding desperately, Little Leopard went right into the important bit: “If you are the Demon Realm’s queen then you are Xiachen’s mother right?”
Clenching up in her heart, Bai Yan instantly grasps onto the child’s shoulder because she knew her chance was here. “Have you seen Xiachen, where is he?”
Giving a glance towards the direction of where the wolf lady departed: “Those people tricked Xiachen and I into coming here, then they gave him the drug to lose his memories. Thankfully he didn’t fall for their plan. Now they’re shamelessly claiming to be his parents.”
The last bit of that explanation made Bai Yan’s fist clench even harder: “You say those people, are you referring to the Demonic Wolf Clan’s member?”
“Yes, it is them. Those wolves not only pretended to be Xiachen’s parents, they also said the Demon Realm’s king is his worst enemy after believing he’s lost his memory.” Biting his little lip, the boy tightens his grasp around Bai Yan’s sleeve like he’s afraid she might not believe him. “Xiachen said he wants to see the king, that’s why he stayed at the Wolf Manor. Auntie, can you help get him out of there? I can’t just leave him behind.”
A surge of anger erupts from the woman’s chest as Sisi and her accomplice came quickly out of the establishment during this timing. When they saw it was Little Leopard standing next to Bai Yan, the wolf lady nearly lost her footing and crumbled to the floor.
Zhang Yu didn’t do so well either, but unlike the lady, he’s more composed and hurried to drag the leopard boy back to his side before making a greeting.
“Your Highness has traveled far today, please forgive this boy’s lack of manners. He’s my son’s playmate so he might’ve done something he didn’t mean to. Allow me to bring him back for further education if he’s offended you in any way.”
As much as Bai Yan would love to tear these two scheming wolves apart right then and there, she nevertheless suppressed her inner anger to take the safe route. “I disagree there. I find this boy very much to my liking in fact.”
Zhang Yu was truly startled by that answer. First giving the teary boy in his hand a stare, then he furrowed his brow into a frown of confusion. This boy also lost his memory because of the drug, there’s no way he could’ve anything to the demon queen. Perhaps its really just that, they’re compatible….
