Chapter 1488 “The Sky’s Might (1)”
Taken aback by the question, Bai Ning took a moment to reply: “There isn’t any issue with Di Cang’s body anymore, but he’s no waking up yet so I don’t know the situation either…”
Her words were akin to a rod, smas.h.i.+ng down against Bai Yan’s heart in heavy strides.
In the end I came back way too late….
Compared with the demon queen’s anger and grief, Dragon Flame only showed a look of joy along his old eyes: “Queen, you are finally back. Before when First Elder left, he gave me a message that the king can be awakened by the jade pendant he left with you. Do you have it still?”
That’s the best thing a worried wife could hear about their husband’s condition. Without delay, “Really?”
“It’s true Your Highness, that’s what First Elder told me before he left with the prince and princess.” Dragon Flame replies with earnest tone.
Bai Yan holds a lot of trust for this old goat so she didn’t doubt the information. However, right as her finger’s about to touch the jade pendant from Di Cang and hand it over…
Boom!
Thankfully Bai Yan was ready and escaped in the nick of time after being nearly hit the first time around. There’s heavy scorch mark from where she stood, which alarmed the now alerted demon queen that it’s no accident or coincidence before. Without another thought, she tosses the important pendant over to the old goat.
“Dragon Flame, you go back and save Di Cang, I’ll handle the fighting here!”
These lightnings came for her, and now that her husband was unconscious, it’s only right as the wife that she controls the front. She’s a woman and not a baggage!
“Mother, you take Xiachen and leave as well!” After saying this, Bai Yan immediately threw her son over without asking for consent.
“No, Mother!!” The steambun became scared at being removed. Out of reflex, he wanted to grasp onto the sleeve to go back. Unfortunately, those small little hands weren’t fast enough.
“All of you leave!”
Boom!
Like a moth captured by the flame, those thunderous bolts once again came firing down at Bai Yan’s spot.
“Yan’er!”
Bai Ning cries out in fright at this horrific scene. She also wanted to go save her daughter, but the child in her arm was a package she couldn’t ignore. In the end, this desperate pair of grandmother and grandson could only watch the numerous streaks of death come flying down like a bombardment.
“HA…” Being the only healthy individual from the Celestial Palace around, Keeper Ling just couldn’t keep his trap shut in cases like these: “A scourge will always be a scourge. Look, even the heavens want your life! That’s what you get for stealing the amulet from Ruo Xi, you deserve all the retributions you are getting, HAHAHA!”
“Shut up!” Bai Ning flew into a furious rage. Swinging her sword out at the nasty old man that wants her daughter dead, she promptly catches the old b.a.s.t.a.r.d in the heat of the moment to cause a deep scar along the face. “If you say one more word then I will have my sword land on that Ruo Xi’s head next.”
“You…” Going green at the indignation, keeper Ling wanted to lash out but couldn’t. He knows that with the woman’s character, that’s not an idle threat but a prediction.
Most of the other Keepers are still alive, but they’re all injured in some way, that means there’s no way to ensure absolute safety for Yun Ruo Xi right now. Against such a risk, the old grumpy guy couldn’t afford it.
