Novel Bin Chapter 1927 - “Hell Domain (1)”
“You go,” sighing after only mustering up these two words, “you have things you must do. It’s already good enough that you were willing see us at such a time when you’re so busy.”
“Take care.” Bai Yan looked deeply at the relatives behind her before slowly turning away for the sunlight with her children in tow.
……
Demon Realm.
The sky remains a blood-colored scene as always, giving this world a strange yet enchanting vibe to the uninitiated.
“Welcome home Queen, Crown Prince, Princess, Second Prince.” The guards at the palace gate immediately kneeled and offered their respect to the family.
“Has Di Cang returned yet?” Bai Yan asks after groaning for a second of hesitation.
“No Your Highness, the king hasn’t return yet after your departure.” The demon guard says with a strong voice of admiration.
Growing quiet, the demon queen raises her head towards the crimson-colored sky with a longing look. “He hasn’t come back yet…”
Involuntarily, the corners of her lips revealed a bitter shape as gloom gradually formed overhead.
“Mother…” Bai Xiachen subconsciously sensed the dampened mood and grabbed his mother’s hand, “Nothing will happen to Father, and I will protect you in Father’s stead!”
Bai Yan’s fingers lightly stroked her eldest’s hair: “Don’t worry about me Sweetie, I believe in your father too. Let’s go inside, I’m sure you’re all tired.”
“Okay.” Bai Xiachen obediently swung that hand in a jovial manner after that.
……
Demon Mountain, a place perennially shrouded in white light after it’s inception. Right now a particular lady was sitting at the peak looking bored and in deep thought.
“Suzaku,” Tsing Yi the Azure Dragon suddenly appeared behind her and sat down as well, “is there something bothering you of late?”
Suzaku shook her head slightly and turned to the woman behind herself.
Even after such a long time, she had not yet gotten used to the fact that Azure Dragon had become a female like herself.
“I’m wondering if I should tell our mistress where the king has gone.” Gently pursing her lips, those eyes are filled with sorrow.
“You know where the king went?” Tsing Yi’s face flashed a trace of surprise, “Since you know then why didn’t you tell Mistress?”
Suzaku shook her head and smiled bitterly, “The place where the king went is too dangerous. His Majesty has the body of a demon so he may be able to make it through that difficult road with his sturdy body. But Mistress is a human, I fear she might not be able to bear it. Also, the king warned me before leaving, that I’m not allowed to tell Mistress about this. I have no choice….”
Perhaps because of the deception and concealment from Bai Yan, Suzaku’s look became more and more guilty.
“Tsing Yi, do you think I should tell her? If I really don’t say and something happens to the king, what would Mistress do? She won’t ever forgive me!”
