Chapter 992 “City Subjugation (6)”
“We will comply.” The crowd of voices echoed in unison, spreading across this hall as one big mass.
Without another word, Bai Yan flicks her hand open and summons up a portrait before handing it over to the demon princess. “Xiao Wan, pass this over to them. They can memorize the picture on their own.”
“Okay, Sister-in-law.” Taking the item like a good helper, Di Xiao Wan happily hands the portrait to the nearest human slave she found.
One by one, each individual memorized the picture until it reached the last in the rear. Of course, the faces they made were not missed by Bai Yan’s sharp attention gaze. She wanted to test them for signs of recognition, and sure enough, there’s a single individual who made a surprised face when handed the item. Immediately, her face sank a little.“Aside from the yellow robed young man, everyone can leave.”
They may be surprised and unsure why, but these humans weren’t going to protest. Cupping their fist, the crowd quickly dispersed and left the poor young lad sweating from the fear of being singled out.
“Queen…. is there something you need of me by asking me to stay?” the nervous lad croaks this out.
“Have you seen this man in the portrait?” she narrows in her eyes, causing a new layer of white surface on the lad’s face.
“I… I…”
Blowing up with dangerous light now: “Speak! Where is he! If you dare lie then that person’s fate will be yours next!”
Visit my site on Bcatranslation if you wish to read ahead of public releasesAfter much choking and struggling of the tongue, a clear answer eventually came forth: “Awhile back I saw him battling with someone else in the forest. He got injured and escaped. Afterwards I don’t know what happened to him.” Having said that, he immediately got to his knees in a kowtowing stance: “Queen, it wasn’t deliberate, I didn’t intend to watch him get hurt. If I had known he was your brother, I-I would’ve done everything I can to save him!”
Immensely cold and dangerous in her aura, Bai Yan’s fists clenched harder and harder until the very bones in there started to crackle. She couldn’t help it. When this bastard mentioned Bai Xiao being injured and had to flee, her heart twisted in pain like someone just ripped it out and wring it dry.
That lovable brother….
That sensible kid who would use his own body to take the beatings in her place….
Everything from the past came swelling back in her memories and suffocated her breathing.
“Do you know where he went?”
Shaking his head with distinct fear in those eyes: “I don’t know, but I know it’s people from the Celestial realm who hurt him….”
“Celestial Realm!” Gnashing her teeth, an unbridled fury roars out of Bai Yan’s throat, wanting to engulf that very name in flames. “If those people dare to hurt my brother, then I will subvert the entire world if I must to exact revenge!”
Now the debt between her and the Celestial Realm just went up by another card. Sure, she’s still hundreds, if not thousands of miles away from reaching the goal of payback, but the determination was there and won’t be removed under any circumstances!
“Yan Yan.” Coming over to give her a hug from behind, Di Cang’s voice grew tender and warm like he’s going to change whatever ill fate that might befall his brother-in-law. “Don’t worry, I will help you find that boy. He will be all right.”
“Di Cang, do you know? Although I am not the original Bai Yan, but the memories of the past remained with me like a vivid picture, deeply imprinted into my mind. I still remember. When I was being bullied and hurt with no one to turn to, it was he who used his thin frail body to protect me….”
