Di Ling Yan stared at the man in a dazed like fashion, not blinking even once despite the aggressive glare.
In this world, the best-looking man she’s ever seen would be her own father, but in comparison to this stranger, he’s definitely a challenger.
Perhaps, likely the most handsome of them all beside her own father even!
But……
Upon remembering the words that came out of this man’s mouth, her initial fear and panic was immediately replaced by anger.
“Did you eat Sister Suzaku and them? You give them back to me, give them back to me!”
The man squinted his eyes at the pipsqueak of a baby like he’s musing on what to do with her. Then suddenly, he bursts into a hysterical laugh as those irises flickered with an eerie and cold glow. “Little one, I will eat you if you make another noise!”
Already unstable in her emotions, Di Ling Yan didn’t need any shoving to break out into a big cry again: “You are a big baddie, you ate Sister Suzaku and Brother Little Rice, you also threatened me. I’m going to tell Father and Mother, they will come avenge everyone, woohooo.”
Oohoo, no wonder I couldn’t find Sister Suzaku and them along the way, they’ve been eaten by this big baddie. Father and Mother will definitely come and make him pay!
The man’s frowning face grew rapidly more impatient: “I told you to be quiet, did you not hear me?”
“WAHHH!” Sitting her butt on the ground, those tender hands of the baby girl starts rubbing her own eyes as the tears flowed. She’s too sad to care about what the other guy says at this point. “You ate Suster Suzaku already, what does it matter if you ate me too. Go ahead if you got the ability, if you don’t eat me then I will keep crying!”
“You…” Black lines appeared across this man’s grim looking face because he’s stumped by this thuggish child.
Arggh!! If not for these chains binding me here, I wouldn’t have to deal with such a rascal, it’s always the children who are the most annoying!
“Then what do you want to stop crying?” Gnashing his teeth, the man asks with twitching eyes.
“You spit the four of them back out then I won’t cry, spit them out!” Di Ling Yan may still be crying but her eyes are now determined when meeting the other who’s directly across from herself.
“You! Look here, I’ve been chained to this spot for countless years, aside from you, I’ve never seen another person!”
Back in his prime in a time where he hasn’t been imprisoned here yet, he would never bother to explain himself to some runt. Slander? Insult? So what? He’s not going to lower himself in explaining to some insignificant ants, even if those insignificant ants numbered in the millions that ended up putting himself here!
Now look at himself? Just to make this child not cry, he’s willing to go so low as to explain his own circumstances for the first time in eons.
HUMILIATION!
Unbeknownst to this chained man though, meeting Di Ling Yan would be his greatest fortune, his destined obstacle to overcome. Unless he puts his cold pride away, the only future that awaits him would be to act as a toy played around by others finger.
“Really?” Raising her pink and flushed faced, Di Ling Yan’s eyes twinkled with light, “You really didn’t eat Sister Suzaku and them?”
The man’s expression sank into a charcoal black. I’ve already explained myself once, what more evidence does she want me to say?
