Chapter 118 - Patially True

A That night, Da Xia mixed a sleeping potion in the food of Shu Mei and Bai Lin and made sure the two females won't create trouble for her for the rest of the night so that she could easily take Qingtan to her husbands.

She asked the kitty to double-check that the girls weren't just acting of sleeping and only after the system confirmed that both of them were actually deep asleep and won't won't be waking up for at least the next six to seven hours, did she relax and start preparing to visit her husbands.

She hurriedly heated the food before packing them up in the wooden crate and after placing the box in a warm hearth in the system's space, she took hold of Qingtan's arm and teleported both of them to Master Yichen's secret manor before once again teleporting. This time, they landed at the entrance of the cave where the princes had been staying for quite some time by now.

"Don't you feel lonely staying at home all alone?" Qingtan asked as he followed behind her as they entered the game and started making their way deep into the dark space.

"Why do you even ask such a stupid question? After staying with me for an entire day, do you seriously think that I have time to feel lonely amid the chaotic life that I'm living?" Da Xia asked the boy who slowly nodded his head in understanding, realizing that she was indeed too busy dealing with her daily life to have free time to feel lonely or anything like that.

"There's an abundance of spiritual energy stored here. This is really a good place for cultivating." He commented next as he looked around the cave. The deeper they went, the presence of spiritual energy kept getting stronger. He was actually curious to know why a cave was storing so much spiritual qi inside it.

"There's an underground stream in this cave. That's why so much spiritual energy." Da Xia answered his unasked question with a little shrug of her shoulders as they reached the secret door built in the wall of the cave that opened into a nature-made staircase that led down in the cave.

The two of them stayed silent after that and it took them barely five minutes or so before they appeared at the clearing where the princes were usually seen cultivating or resting. Da Xia looked around the area and spotted Little White, the baby snake that they found in the Phoenix Mountains, playing around a few rocks.

As she approached the little snake, she realized that it was not playing with the tiny rocks but was actually trying to shift them with the end of its tail. The scene made her chuckle softly and it successfully grabbed the Little White's attention who abandoned its rocks and turned its attention towards her.

"Is it that snake you mentioned...?" Qingtan asked as he came to stand next to her. Da Xia slowly nodded her head in response before she took a few steps back to put some more distance between herself and Little While. Even though Little White was little, she did not doubt that it was just as dangerous as a big one from its family.

While she was steeping back, her body came in contact with something hard and before she knew what was happening, strong arms came to surround her in a warm embrace of her husband. Without even turning around, she could tell that it was Li Wei who had pulled her into a back hug.

"What is he trying to do with Little White?" Li Wei asked while signaling towards Qingtan with his chin before resting it on her shoulder for support.

Da Xia looked in the direction he just pointed and found Qingtan kneeling next to Little White. For a moment, she was tempted to warn the boy to keep his distance from the snake but before she could whether to actually do it or not, she got to see a very surprising scene.

The boy placed his hand on the ground upside down in front of Little White, his palm facing upwards. The little snake seemed just as clueless as Da Xia and Li Wei were but then after remaining still for a few seconds, it finally made a decision.

The very next second, it was seen crawling towards the boy's hand, and soon enough, it was curled up on the cold palm that belonged to the young boy. It even went as far as rubbing its head against Qingtan's thumb and let out a purr like sound.

"Who is this boy?"

Da Xia was pulled out of her shocked state when she heard Li Wei's question and as she finally turned her face slightly, she saw his eyes staring right at Qingtan. There was the same energy and sense of recognition present in his eyes that she saw in Li Jun's eyes when he first saw Little White. It seemed like Qingtan was speaking the truth about him being the chosen spiritual best for the first prince of demons.

Before Da Xia could say anything, Qingtan was there, standing right beside her as the boy stared back at Li Wei with dozen of emotions running through his eyes that it was impossible for her to pinpoint them. She was so focused on Qingtan and Li Wei's silent communication that she ended up shrieking at the top of her lungs when Little White tried to jump into her arms. 

Li Wei was quick to pull her aside while Qingtan took a few steps back to create some distance between them. "Are you alright?" He asked Little White and the little snake gave a light nodding of its head in response, a view that ended up shocking Da Xia even more.

"Xiaxia, are you okay?" Li Wei asked as he turned her to make her face him fully. His eyes were busy inspecting her arms to see if she was really alright or not. His worried expression made her smile as she gave his hands a light squeeze.

"Where's Jun'er?" She asked him to change the subject. Her eyes quickly scanned the from to see if she could find Li Jun hiding somewhere but the young demon prince was nowhere to be seen.
