Chapter 1438 “Secret of the Amulet (1)”

Shrouded in a shade of yellow as the sun sets for the night, the Holy Dragon Mountain looks like it’s made of pure gold, a scene surreal and mesmerizing. In light of this beautiful scene, the party that’s currently trekking through the landscape didn’t find it so beautiful, rather it’s starting to wear down on their minds.

“Yan Yan,” Mo Li Shang continues to follow from behind while carrying the unconscious dragon girl, his face starting to show a bit of fatigue. “We’ve been walking here for a very long time, do you want to find a place to rest for the night? Me and Moli (piggy) can go explore the road ahead instead while you and Xiachen rest.”

Bai Yan’s finger visibly shook somewhat at the suggestion. Subconsciously reaching up to her neck to grasp onto the jade necklace, she closes her eyes to recall back to the beginning of this whole ordeal.

It’s already been half a month since they started to wander aimlessly around the mountain, yet the exit was nowhere in sight. At this rate, she’s certain her husband would go crazy without news returning.

“No Shan Shan, we need to keep going. I refuse to believe some simple illusionary spell can trap me here!” Shooting her eyes open again, a flicker of resolve returns to the woman.

……

Exactly like the demon queen suspected, Di Cang became very worried after getting no information or news from his wife.

At first he trusted Bai Yan to return on her own, but that trust soon turned to dread as the days dragged on. Without another thought, the husband began sending his own soldiers to the Holy Dragon Mountain to search for his family’s whereabout. Yet…. instead of returning with good news, they reported that Bai Yan and Bai Xiachen were gone without a trace to follow. If not for the connection within their souls due to the binding contract, he might’ve exploded into a furious rage and burned the entire Celestial Realm into cinder.

While things were falling into a huge mess on the Demon Realm’s side, the Celestial Palace wasn’t faring so well either.

Right after Healer Yu returned with Yue s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ in tow, the pair began to raise h.e.l.l across the board. They wanted justice for Senior Yue’s death and their anger was directly pointed towards Yun Ruo Xi. The student and master claimed the old witch sent a.s.sa.s.sins in secret to carry out the deed, which shocked many of the public.

Naturally a long series of quarreling ensued as a result of this incredible accusation. Healer Yu wanted Yun Ruo Xi’s head, while the Keepers defended the old witch saying there’s no evidence. Even so, the main lady herself had already been scared out of her mind by the added attention.

Before anyone knew, Yun Ruo Xi had snuck out of the Celestial Palace on her own and headed for the Demon City.

……

Inside the new demon palace, Winger was currently standing watch over two little milk buns that were playing in the garden. Unlike before he came here though, that smile of his while watching the kids didn’t look like a zombie anymore, but a genuine expression of warmth.

Suddenly, the bird felt a tremor in his heart, causing that beautiful face to shudder and reveal a look of pain. He knows, the time has finally come.

Ruo Xi is here, she’s summoning me….

“Uncle.”

Just as Winger’s about to turn away to meet the dreaded old witch, a crisp and beautiful young voice calls out from behind, causing his body to freeze up.
