Chapter 1696 “Qiu Moon’s Aim (2)”
“Okay.” Bai Yan smiled: “Now that Xiao Xiao is also found, I want to go back to the Demon Realm, is that fine with you Di Cang?”
So that Xiao Wan is already getting married… I must act properly as her sister-in-law, I won’t be so casual anymore and make the same mistake with my brother. I refuse to be incompetent!
From the bottom of her heart, Bai Yan really liked that demon princess and wanted nothing but the best for her. In this case, the lady could feel at ease knowing its State Teacher who would be marrying Di Xiao Wan. With him loving that girl, no one could ever hurt her.
……
Demon Realm.
Standing against the windowsill, State Teacher didn’t have the usual gentle expression he’s known for, rather he’s looking serious and somewhat unapproachable with that oppressive air.
“Is there any movement with Qiu Moon recently?” He asks with a frown and cold voice.
“State Teacher, we’ve been keeping a close watch on her during this period but could not discern any suspicious movement. Aside from the daily routine she does, there does not appear to be anything worthy of note, nor has she gone anywhere near the princess.” One of the demonic shadows working under State Teacher reports, his shadowy figure a looming haze that’s difficult to make out.
Qiu Moon would be the white fox lady saved by Di Xiao Wan a while back. She’s been working at the palace and has been kept under close watch.
“Keep watching her, if she dares to appear before Xiao Wan or do anything suspicious, you have permission to subdue her at your will. I won’t let anyone make my future wife unhappy or do anything that might harm her.”
“Yes, State Teacher.” The shadow arches his fist and retreated.
Meanwhile at the same time in another room….
Qiu Moon the fox lady was sitting at a table with her hands holding a portrait. It’s yellowed and old to the point where even the figure painted there could hardly be made out. Despite this, the look in the lady’s eye spelled yearning.
“When will I be able to have you… One look and that’s all it took for you to steal my heart… Back then I was nothing but a powerless fox, but now, I can finally have the chance to stand by your side… So why, why must you have another lover instead?” Qiu Moon’s mouth curved into arcing smile, her face frail and weak that made the opposite sex want to pull her into a hug at first sight: “But it doesn’t matter, I will make you mine one day. I won’t let anyone get in our way, I won’t ever let go!”
In her momentary trance of murmuring to herself, the lady suddenly became aware of several energy signatures outside her room. Without hesitation, she quickly puts away her portrait and returned to the harmless person that she showed to others.
That man is that wary of me eh? Ever since I came to the palace, he has never left me alone. As if I would ever hurt Her Highness, what a fool that man is….
That said, Qiu Moon instinctively rubbed the storage ring on her finger. It’s where she stored the portrait. “I will make you mine, I won’t let anyone destroy our bond….”
Inhaling deeply at the thought, she readied herself and walked towards the door to continue her work.
