Chapter 1980 - Meeting (6)

Chapter 1980 “Meeting (6)”

“Mother, where are you?”

Bai Xiachen insisted on standing up from the ground despite his terrible state. First wiping some of the tears from the corners of his eyes: “I miss you so much… But I am a man now. I can’t cry and will only smile. Only by being strong am I qualified to protect Mother.”

His little body was slightly unstable as he peered up to the fiery hot sun burning in the sky, thus causing his parched lips to rip from dehydration.

“No, I can’t fall now. I still have to go to find Mother. I have been in the Hell Domain for so long already. Maybe if I go a little further then I will be able to find Mother.”

All the tears of grievance building up inside the steambun got once again forced down again, turning it into fuel to move those small legs forward.

I’m not a three-year-old child anymore. I’m eight this year. If I can’t even do this much, I am not qualified to be a man. I won’t be a burden to anyone!

Perhaps even Bai Xiachen had lost track of time or how long he’s been in the desert, but eventually, he did find a city and stood at its gate.

Blinking his eyes in confusion after checking out the notice board posted around the side, How come the portrait look so much like Father?

“Little brother, what’s wrong with you?” A surprised voice came from the boy’s side.

Bai Xiachen slowly swung his head over and met a beautiful young lady standing in front of himself.

This girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old and looked dainty and cute with a pair of smiling-shaped eyes. From the outside, she appears to be good-tempered and well-mannered.

“Little sister,” Bai Xiachen wiped the sweat from his forehead and pointed to the notice in front, “that uncle is so handsome, do you know who he is?”

At this moment, Bai Xiachen was filthy from the arduous journey, hence why the young maiden didn’t recognize how similar they were.

Smiling in the face as she explained, “Oh, you mean the husband to our monarch? Some time ago he eloped with another female and fled the Monarch Manor. Then news spread one day that the mistress came back and barged into the monarch’s home, demanding various things until she got detained from all the fuss.”

Bai Xiachen lowered his eyes to cover the meaningful glow in his eyes over the story. After a good while of his musing, he looks up and acts all cute and innocent: “Little sister, who is the woman who went to the Monarch Manor to make the fuss? I’m curious.”

The girl’s eyes were a little confused, but after taking another look at the boy who was genuinely ragged in appearance, she then understood and didn’t mind.

“I don’t know her exact identity. I only know that there are a few demonic beasts that follow her, calling her their queen or something. Oh yes, her name is somewhat similar to Miss Xin Yan, also called Yan’er…”

Queen? Yan’er?

Bai Xiachen clenched his small fist despite no visible emotion on his face aside from that bright smile.

“Thank you little sister. Aigh, by the way, how do I find that Monarch Manor? I want to go see…”

The girl pursed her lips and smiled: “The monarch will bring the husband back today, and once again remarry. Right now many are going there to join in on the celebration so it’s not hard to find your way. Just follow the trail the crowd made through the Endless Forest….”
