Chapter 1615 “Heartache (5)”

“Okay,” Dragony obediently nods after being offered a shiny green bead.

If only those Keepers could see this right now, if they did then they would surely be popping their eyes out. The way the dragoness behaved was like a one-eighty, a stark contrast to the world devouring version just minutes ago.

“Mother, my heart is uncomfortable,” Bai Xiachen sniffled his nose in a choking manner after witnessing Dragony take the medicine from Bai Yan’s hand, “We mustn’t let those who injured her go.”

Clenching her fist, Bai Yan was of the same opinion: “Dragony, who hurt you?”

Looking up with those teary eyes, the girl answered without hesitation: “It’s the people from the Celestial Palace.”

“The Celestial palace?” The demon queen’s face darkened some more, her eyes narrowing into a slit.

Those bastards still haven’t learned yet? How dare they hurt my daughter. In that case, I will be sure to settle the old and new debt all together!

“Dragony, does it still hurt?” she asks in aching pain, both for herself and her sweet daughter.

The question actually brought a momentary daze to the little girl. Truthfully, Dragony herself didn’t feel any pain despite all the physical injury on her body, rather the pain had hailed from the mental side, the soul. Now that Bai Yan has returned, that pain was also gone.

“It doesn’t hurt,” the dragoness shakes her head before turning to the teary steambun, “Prince Brother, did you cry?”

Startled at being called out, Bai Xiachen hurriedly wipes his watery eye to put on a strong face: “I did not, I am a man, I will not cry.”

As if he would admit that even if he did!

“That’s good,” said Dragony with a brilliant smile, “it really doesn’t hurt so don’t feel sad for me. I’m so happy you’re back…”

That did it. Originally the steambun could still hold back his tears, but that remark instantly broke the dam and made him leak those droplets. In his haste, Bai Xiachen had to quickly turn away and wipe the corner of his eye to not look so emotional.

“Queen, Prince,” First Elder figured its time he spoke since everyone’s slightly calmer now, “Now that you are back, His Majesty should wake up too. Are we going back to the Demon Realm first?”

“No need to hurry, we can head back home later. First we must settle a debt here!” Just thinking of what the Celestial Palace has done during her absence was enough to make the woman’s blood boil.

Unfortunately for Bai Yan’s plan, she miscalculated in this case and the courage those people had. Dragony’s power had completely shocked those old Keepers, there’s no way they would willingly return to the Celestial Palace. Even if she does barge into that place and attack it, the only ones left defending it would be the other soldiers and guards at station.

“Queen,” the elder frowned, “there is one thing I have to tell you first.”

“What’s the matter?” She asks with a wary face.

“It’s about that Yun Ruo Xi.” The elder’s face didn’t look very good either: “After you disappeared that day, we locked up Yun Ruo Xi and made her experience all the tortures we had to offer. We also made sure to keep guard of her with several high demons at the cell… but she still managed to escape our grasp.”

Faintly frowning, Bai Yan also found the news worrisome: “Run away? How could she have done that considering her powers….”

“Yes, with her strength it shouldn’t be possible. Even if the Celestial Palace wants to save her, those Keepers shouldn’t be capable without alarming us during the raid. What’s more, the way that Yun Ruo Xi disappeared is very odd, there’s not a trace to go by like she’s just gone from the world itself….”
