Chapter 1469 'The Sneaky Di Ling Yan 3 ”

“Oh yes, they want my blood and they want to kill me while doing so didn’t they? Oh well, it looks like they will never be able to use my blood then.” Di Ling Yan speaks like she’s just come to the realization.

“You!” Keeper Ling’s face went a shade of green as he pointed that finger in a accusatory manner.

Yes, they are going to kill the girl eventually, but not right now!

“See?” Giggling in her voice, “I said it already, you are not qualified to kill me.” Her smile no longer carried any of the childish delight she had before, only a chill that’s distant and cold.

Winger may have known the princess for a short period only, but the bird man never expected to see such a strong side from the baby girl. It’s completely out of character and beyond her age.

Sinking into a dark glare, Keeper Ling now understood what the baby was trying to do: “Humph! You think we can’t take you back with us first and then slowly deal with you!”

As long as she arrives at the Celestial Palace then her fate would be sealed, that’s a fact and a simple task to achieve right now.

Unfazed and still smiling with that frosty look: “You can…. However, if you force me then I won’t ever give you the cure to the granny’s poison over there.”

Yun Ruo Xi’s brain literally exploded right in that moment. Not because of the poison though, nay, but because she’s been called an old granny! A lethal sore spot for any woman of age.

This wench, she actually dared to call me a granny? I knew it, she’s just as annoying as that Bai Xiachen! As expected of Bai Yan’s children, they’re all ill-mannered brats!

She wanted to say something to rebuttal that claim, but the clenching pain from the abdomen sent her crouching down like a squirming worm.

“You admit you added poison?” Keeper Ling also explodes upon seeing the pained look of the old witch.

I’m too negligent, thinking a child will not have too many vile thoughts, but this is Bai Yan’s child…. I should’ve known, I should’ve known….

Di Ling Yan didn’t pay too much attention to the elder’s interrogating voice though, instead she continues to speak with the bird man, a huge disrespect for any Keeper. “Uncle Winger, can you take my Father back to rest? He… his injury is very serious.” Dropping her head, the baby girl appears to be frustrated due to her own powerless self.

Naturally Winger would be frowning over the request. If he leaves then what about the princess herself? Thankfully the dilemma didn’t last long because First Elder had caught up by now and presented himself as the answer.

“Princess, you really came to this place! What if something happens to you? Her Highness the Queen will skin us alive if she finds out!” Quivering in his lips, First Elder said the first thing that came to his mind before noticing Di Cang lying there in a pit, “This… the king…”

First Elder didn’t move though, instead he signals the old goat who also came with him to lift their liege out of the hole before turning to the one responsible: “Keeper Ling, you people from the Celestial Palace all claim to be morally benevolent yet you’re hurting a child? Don’t you think it goes against what you claim to stand for?”

Making a mocking laugh, Keeper Ling obviously felt otherwise based on that sarcastic tone: “Child? If she is a child then how could she plot a murder? You think a child can do such a vicious and cruel thing?”
