Chapter 1757 “Win Over Di Ling Yan (4)”
Understanding was one thing, but he still doesn’t want to let anyone take away his lady’s man. Since she won’t do it, Senior Gu Lao felt determined to do it on her behalf. After all, his life was saved by Gu Ya. This would be his way of returning the debt so she could live a happy life.
“It’s good that you understand.” Gu Ya did not see the old senior’s flickering eye so her heart gradually calmed down. Faintly smiling: “The matter between me and the monarch is between the two of us, you don’t need to get involved. I have my own ways of becoming his wife….”
“Yes, Milady.”
If the lady has such ways then they would’ve long been married, why wait until now? So this time… It must be up to me to get rid of the opponent for the Miss!
……
To the north of the Heavenly Domain lies a desert where the scorching sun burned brilliantly while also being poisonous to any creature unfortunate to make this terrain home.
As it so happens, Bai Yan was one of the unfortunate creatures to be trekking through this sandy landscape comprised of hilly dunes and sc.r.a.ping pits.
Exhausted after walking for so long, she leans in against the dried fiberous body of a dead tree to gain some shade: “Ling Yan should be up ahead if I continue to go straight.”
Ever since she broke through to the higher level of the Celestial Rank, she’s been able to locate those she knew through their energy signatures. In this case, Bai Yan’s using a tracking spell that shoots a beam of light in the general direction of her target as long she’s able to provide a wisp of their life force.
Unfortunately, this method does have a flaw and that was she’s unable to discern the distance. In these days, the poor desperate mother’s been walking nonstop without a proper rest since her arrival in the outer domains.
“Ling Yan, wait for mother, I will be there soon….” Murmuring this to push herself, the woman drags that aching body up with sweat dripping down the forehead.
Ling Yan is not Xiachen, she’s only a two year old at heart and a timid girl at that. She won’t be able to handle being by herself for so many days in the wilderness. Even if I don’t take a break, I must find her as fast as possible.
……
Compared with the anxiety of the poor woman though, Di Ling Yan on the other hand was enjoying the good life at the Monarch Manor by eating well and sleeping well. Aside frm missing Bai Yan, there’s nothing the baby lacked. After all, the pipsqueak wholeheartedly believes her mother would come, it’s just a matter of when so she’s not worried.
Fortunately, because of Heavely’s order, none in the manor dared to upset the baby. Compounded by the fact that she has a super sweet mouth, no attendant or maid even thought about hurting Di Ling Yan and grew especially fond of her.
Now this troubled those who wished harm on the pipsqueak of course. Senior Gu Lao’s been keeping track of the pipsqueak’s every movement. Unless the child comes out of her own voalition, the old elder won’t have a opportunity to make a move.
As for Gu Ya the lady herself, she’s been ignoring her subordinates advice and continued to visit Heavenly’s home – all for the sole reason of trying to cuddle up to the baby. Sadly for the hardworking woman, Di Ling Yan refused to meet her and thus squashed the idea. In the end, Gu Ya could only resort to waiting, specifically waiting in the back garden with a basket of pastries.
Like the old saying goes, those who put in the effort would always be rewarded. After many days of this fruitless attempts, Gu Ya finally got the opportunity to meet the baby on this sunny afternoon.
Lighting up in the eye, she gracefully strode towards the pipsqueak who has come into view: “Is that you child?”
Di Ling Yan also saw who was coming over. Wrinkling her temple at this, she’s obviously very unhappy at the interruption.
