Chapter 694 “Impersonate (6)”
“Mis…”
He had wanted to follow Tsing Yi’s way of calling Bai Yan his mistress, but after thinking it through when it’s a public place, he decides to stuff the thought back down. “I am Goldy.”
Goldy?
Blinking in astonishment, Bai Yan hurries to signal the maids and guards nearby to go: “All of you retreat first and leave us to ourselves.”“Yes milady.”
Due to her being Zhongnan and Zhongbei’s disciple, everyone within the estate now takes her as the third highest authority. Aside from the two elders themselves, the woman’s words are law.
Once they’re alone again, Bai Yan got right to the point: “Why did you come all of sudden?”
“It’s the little master, he told me to bring you a message Mistress. He said he will return in a few days due to a matter at hand.”
Making a slight frown: “My son needs to be away for a few days?”
Xiachen is always so clingy, why would he suddenly want to leave for a few days?
“I don’t know either but the little master told me he is very safe and would return on his own.”“I see,” exhaling a long sigh, “you can go back first then.”
Although she doesn’t know what her son intends to do during this period, it didn’t matter because Bai Yan’s trust in her son remains strong. As long as he’s not in danger then its fine!
“Mistress,” the human formed Goldy suddenly starts to wiggle awkwardly like a shy little child. “Lady Tsing Yi told me to stay with you for protection and that she’s fine with only Silvery by her side.”
Musing over the idea, it didn’t long for her to come to a conclusion. “Fine then, you can stay. But tell me first, how did my son get in contact with you?”
“This…” Goldy scratches his head and puts on the broadest cheek eating grin he’s ever made: “I gave him a transmission stone before you and the little master left last time. It was something I picked up by accident one day.”
“But Xiachen can’t speak in his current state, how did you understand him?”
“That’s not an issue Mistress. As long as he speaks to me using his heart then I can understand his message.”
The knowledge instantly causes the woman’s eye to flicker with light: “Do you remember where you found the transmission stone?”
“It’s over at the dragon clan’s side. ”
Dragon clan?
Rubbing her chin in contemplation, Why not, I need to go there sooner or later anyways.
“I’ll send someone to arrange a room for you later. You can stay here for now.”
“Okay.” Goldy was now giggling with glee, the polar opposite of what a huge ferocious dragon should look like.
……
Meanwhile at the same time in a not so far away mountain, the little rascal of a fox had just finished tucking away the transmission stone in his possession.
Goldy will bring my message to Mother, then Mother won’t have to worry about me…..
But before Bai Xiachen could enjoy his momentary victory, a tall shadow from behind had enveloped his tiny body, thus causing the poor kid to freeze right on the spot.
“Is your mother really in a place like this?” the man’s voice was hoarse and somber as he asked.
The little fox nodded in quick succession. Against that innocent child look, it would be difficult for one to doubt his sincerity. Issue was, the one making the question was Di Cang, the demon lord and ruler of the Demon Realm. There’s no way he would fall for his own son’s trick.
Arching his lip into a cheeky smirk, This rascal really think I can’t hear his message just now does he? There’s nothing I can’t intercept at this range. Whatever, as long as he can’t overcome that hole in his heart then he won’t take me to his mother. I will need to think of something to fix this.
“Xiachen, are you hungry? I just caught a pheasant so why I don’t make a roast for you, how about it?”
Normally Bai Xiachen would never deny an offering of food, however, the image of Di Cang blowing up the kitchen from the last time he was inside their home still lingers vividly in his mind. Therefore, his first answer was to shake his head around like a rocking drum.
But whether it be a yes or no, the demon lord didn’t care. Ignoring the expression of his son’s distraught face, he sweeps his sleeve and summoned up a pile of branches where he immediately shot out a fireball to light it up.
