Chapter 1747 “Heavenly Flame (2)”
“Yes, Sire.” First Elder complied by bowing his head but anyone could hear the worry in his old voice.
The outer domains are extremely dangerous so it’s no wonder the old man would worry; after all, his queen and princess had just fallen into a portal leading to such a place without any protection.
With the order given, Di Cang quickly left with his minions for the main throne room, leaving only Di Xiao Wan (sister) and the other family members standing around with troubled expressions.
“Why, why does this always happen? A thousand years ago, those people came and killed Sister-in-law, and now it’s State Teacher who died because of a new enemy. Worse is Ling Yan my niece is also dragged into the struggle, why is everyone coming after us?” The demon princess grows increasingly more grim as she murmured over the past events: “We Demons never hurt others for no reason, nor have we done anything to hurt those in the Celestial Realm out of malice, why can’t they just leave us alone….?”
If only…. If only we weren’t around to drag Big Brother down. With his strength, chasing after Ling Yan and Sister-in-law wouldn’t have been a problem just now. Why is it always us who are the deadweights when trouble comes!
This thought pattern wasn’t Di Xiao Wan being pessimistic, rather it’s partly the truth. Whenever a fight breaks out or a war ensues, it’s always Di Cang who has to lead the way and fend off the strongest among the enemy’s rank. As for they themselves, aside from cleaning the mess afterwards and dealing with the small fries, these demon elders and demon generals honestly didn’t really do much otherwise.
“Auntie…” It’s then Bai Xiachen noticed the oddity with his aunt and looked over. What he saw hurt the boy in earnest. Instead of the jolly demon princess from the past, Di Xiao Wan gave off a suffocating air of depression as she curled into a clump.
“Xiachen, why do those people always hurt us?” she asks with sobbing tone.
The demon princess really likes Bai Yan from the hearts down, all the way back a thousand years ago. Sure, Di Xiao Wan had lost her past memories at the beginning, but that didn’t hinder this lass from liking the brilliant woman after their initial interaction, that’s how much she favored this sister-in-law. And now, she’s lost both State Teacher and Bai Yan… She really doesn’t want to lose anyone anymore!
“Auntie,” the steambun knew he must do something and be the strong one in this family, “they are bad people, and bad people don’t need a reason to hurt others. They only care about their personal gains. I believe in Mother and Father. They’ve gone through so many ups and downs, they will overcome this hurdle as well. The outer domain is dangerous, but it can’t stop my mother, you need to trust everyone. We will make those bad people pay for sure.”
Perhaps the speech had an effect and lightened the depressed princess’s mood. Standing up, Di Xiao Wan walked over and pulled the little glutton who’s also crying into a tight hug. It’s to save herself from spiraling into the darkness but also to help the baby.
……
Inside a dark cave, the scum who took Di Ling Yan’s first kiss smirked after sensing what has occurred.
“The pipsqueak seems to be gone now…”
From a small chuckle came a guffawing laugh of hysterical joy.
“As I expected, the bead I gave her allowed the girl to break into the void. This is only the first step, what’s to come and what happens will be up to them…”
After getting that supposed treasure, he never did find out its purpose; instead, he got hunted down like a dog by millions of foes. In the end, his fate left him in this state, chained like an animal to this cave and unable to leave.
