Chapter 1348 “Call Xiachen A Bastard Child (4)”
“Hehehe.” Giggling with delight as she grabbed onto her big brother’s arms, Di Ling Yan couldn’t be any happier right now: “Big Brother, Big Brother, I clearly fell by accident earlier, why does this old granny keep saying its Sister Mu Ying who pushed?”
Even though the peachy girl was clever and bright, she’s still only a baby and needed some guidance here.
Bai Xiachen didn’t bother to answer the girl’s question, instead he picked her up and gave the girl a smooch along the cheek. He just couldn’t help it, she’s too adorable for him.
It’s so nice to have a little sister, I won’t let anyone use her or bully her!At the thought and vow to himself, a blast of cold light beams right of the boy’s eye, his aim, right towards Yu Yao who was still snickering with disdain on one side.
“You go first,” Bai Xiachen dismisses Mu Ying who’s been keeping a keen eye on the situation, “I have seen enough and know you didn’t push Ling Yan.”
In light of the order, the maid didn’t move and only kept her head down. It’s not like she wants to go against the steambun, but her duty was to protect the princess, meaning she couldn’t leave the princess’s side even if she wanted to less she seeks her own execution afterwards.
“Nothing but a wild child, how dare you come make trouble at the Demon City?!” Yu Yao finally snaps after seeing how little the boy cared about herself: “Where are you parents or guardians? Why didn’t they properly discipline you? How dare you try to cover up for the criminal who tried to hurt the princess. If your parents won’t teach you then I will!” Having said that, the old hag immediately rolled up her sleeve and raised a hand to slap down hard.
But……
Without ever making contact, Yu Yao was shocked to find her hand frozen in the air, unable to move an inch from where it stopped.
This…. what’s going on here?A flicker of panic filled the old hag’s face, causing it to lose all color of red like it’s been sucked out of her skin.
“You… what did you do to me?” Her voice trembled with fear.
It’s just a human child, how can he limit my movements?
Smirking coldly in his face: “I don’t care what sort of dynamics your family has going on here, but I will not let others take advantage of my little sister and use her!”
This little sister was someone he intends to dote and love for the rest of his life, there’s no way the boy would allow anyone to have an inch of that evil thought in mind. If they do, he’s going to remove them for good!
“You…” Biting her lips hard, “let go of me now! I’m warning you. This is the Demon City, if you try anything then the king will not let you go! He will kill you and your entire family for crossing me!”
Mu Ying was absolutely astounded on the other side. She just couldn’t believe how stupid her own mother was right now. Dare to say, braindead would be the perfect description for Yu Yao in this case.
For one thing, it’s obvious to the maid that Bai Xiachen was no human child, he’s using bloodline suppression! Then adding in the part regarding the way the princess was addressing the boy, calling him big brother, the answer was obvious relating to his identity.
Then before anyone could say more, a series of running footsteps from the rear had caught the groups attention.
Excited in the face at the thought of help coming, Yu Yao got all confident again: “Little twerp, do you hear it? Those are the soldiers of the Demon city. They have come to help! You better let me go now, otherwise I will have the king execute you! Just so you know, the king is looking to take in a consort soon, and I will be the king’s mother-in-law by then! I am not someone you can afford to offend!”
Naturally the ignorant old hag would never dare to say that out loud in the public, but this wasn’t out in the open. First its Mu Ying, she’s also a member of the leopard tribe so she’s out of the picture of concern. Then there’s Bai Xiachen who she still assumes was but a human child. No one would believe him if she herself denies the claim, or so she believes anyway. Then the princess…. Hoho, who’s going to listen to a baby that barely knows anything yet?
