“We will comply . ” The crowd of voices echoed in unison, spreading across this hall as one big mass .
Without another word, Bai Yan flicks her hand open and summons up a portrait before handing it over to the demon princess . “Xiao Wan, pass this over to them . They can memorize the picture on their own . ”
“Okay, Sister-in-law . ” Taking the item like a good helper, Di Xiao Wan happily hands the portrait to the nearest human slave she found .
One by one, each individual memorized the picture until it reached the last in the rear . Of course, the faces they made were not missed by Bai Yan’s sharp attention gaze . She wanted to test them for signs of recognition, and sure enough, there’s a single individual who made a surprised face when handed the item . Immediately, her face sank a little .

“Aside from the yellow robed young man, everyone can leave . ”
They may be surprised and unsure why, but these humans weren’t going to protest . Cupping their fist, the crowd quickly dispersed and left the poor young lad sweating from the fear of being singled out .
“Queen… . is there something you need of me by asking me to stay?” the nervous lad croaks this out .
“Have you seen this man in the portrait?” she narrows in her eyes, causing a new layer of white surface on the lad’s face .

“I… I…”
Blowing up with dangerous light now: “Speak! Where is he! If you dare lie then that person’s fate will be yours next!”
After much choking and struggling of the tongue, a clear answer eventually came forth: “Awhile back I saw him battling with someone else in the forest . He got injured and escaped . Afterwards I don’t know what happened to him . ” Having said that, he immediately got to his knees in a kowtowing stance: “Queen, it wasn’t deliberate, I didn’t intend to watch him get hurt . If I had known he was your brother, I-I would’ve done everything I can to save him!”
Immensely cold and dangerous in her aura, Bai Yan’s fists clenched harder and harder until the very bones in there started to crackle . She couldn’t help it . When this bastard mentioned Bai Xiao being injured and had to flee, her heart twisted in pain like someone just ripped it out and wring it dry .
That lovable brother… .

That sensible kid who would use his own body to take the beatings in her place… .
Everything from the past came swelling back in her memories and suffocated her breathing .
“Do you know where he went?”
Shaking his head with distinct fear in those eyes: “I don’t know, but I know it’s people from the Celestial realm who hurt him… . ”
“Celestial Realm!” Gnashing her teeth, an unbridled fury roars out of Bai Yan’s throat, wanting to engulf that very name in flames . “If those people dare to hurt my brother, then I will subvert the entire world if I must to exact revenge!”
Now the debt between her and the Celestial Realm just went up by another card . Sure, she’s still hundreds, if not thousands of miles away from reaching the goal of payback, but the determination was there and won’t be removed under any circumstances!
“Yan Yan . ” Coming over to give her a hug from behind, Di Cang’s voice grew tender and warm like he’s going to change whatever ill fate that might befall his brother-in-law . “Don’t worry, I will help you find that boy . He will be all right . ”
“Di Cang, do you know? Although I am not the original Bai Yan, but the memories of the past remained with me like a vivid picture, deeply imprinted into my mind . I still remember . When I was being bullied and hurt with no one to turn to, it was he who used his thin frail body to protect me… . ”
