Chapter 1260 “Celestial Fox’s Blood (6)”

Bai Xiachen didn’t say nothing more as he hugged his head against Bai Yan’s chest with that big bright smile.
“Come then, let’s head out before your father returns.” That said, she promptly let’s go of her son and led the way for the exit, holding the boy’s hand along the way.
……
At the main gate leading out of the courtyard, two guards were mindlessly bored out of their minds right now when they saw the woman and boy coming out. Immediately, they straightened up their backs and got sharp in order to keep up appearances. “Queen, Prince, might we ask where you are going?”
“Mmm,” quickly coming up with an excuse, “I’m finding the room stuffy and bored here so I’m taking Xiachen out for a walk. We’ll be back very soon so there’s no need to inform Di Cang.”
Naturally the guards posted here wouldn’t dare stop her, after all, this queen of theirs were the king’s treasure. If so much as a scratch befalls the lady then they might as well offer up their heads on their own.
Just like that, Bai Yan was able to easily bypass the palace guards using this excuse until she was stepping foot into the city streets.
……
Meanwhile at the same time not far away in a mountain range, Di Cang was standing stoically atop of a ridge when his mood went afoul for unknown reasons.
However…..
As soon as this doting husband recalled the image of his lovely wife waiting at home for him, a smile would escape his lips to wow the world. It’s mesmerizing, daunting even for the faint of heart, which in turn left many of the female demons nearby gasping for breath.
“Ahumph.” First Elder didn’t miss the behavior from the crowd gathered below and hurried to correct his liege’s unintentional mistake.
Doesn’t the king know his smile can kill? What if some of the demonesses get some funny idea because of your smile? That will make the queen very unhappy!
Realizing he shouldn’t act that way as well, Di Cang quickly restored himself back to that dominant and cold demon king that they all expect of him. “So all of you are from the nearby demon tribes?”
In the Celestial Realm, most demonic beasts have long been subjugated into slavery or familiar contracts at the hands of the humans living here, only few and sparse groups were able to escape that fate thanks to hiding in difficult to reach terrains. As a result, the ones gathered here today before Di Cang are the ones who didn’t get the news of the Demon Realm’s attack and had to be sought out personally.
“That’s correct Your Majesty, we are the remaining demon tribes living in this region and are willing to be at your command.”
Di Cang’s sight first landed on the speaking old elder, then shifted to the beautiful young maiden next to him.
“An entry level Middle Divine?” The words were faint, but it was able to reach everyone’s ear nevertheless.
Understanding he needed to explain, the old elder steps forward and bows: “Your Majesty, she is my youngest daughter and the most talented one among my children. In order to not let the Celestial Realm’s people know of her existence, we deliberately hid her talent over the years and has only managed to help her break into that rank recently.”
“Her age is a bit old… but no matter, my daughter the princess will be born soon. I need proper maids that can not only serve her but also to protect her from danger. First Elder, go find several more talented maids like this one to serve the princess.”
As his daughter, Di Cang has every intent to give the baby the best he could offer in this world. Furthermore, he needs to train the maids to keep the stinking brats eyeing his precious girl away! What if they try to snatch her out from under his eye?!
