Chapter 1100 - War’s Prelude (10)
“Oh?” Lowering his little head, Bai Xiachen puckers his lips to the side.
Guess Godfather doesn’t have anymore chances. There’s only one mother and she belongs to Baddie Father now. What a shame, I’ve always wanted a stepfather before.
“Bai Xiachen!” Di Cang didn’t miss the face his son made there and snapped right back with black lines running across that forehead: “Do you find it a pity he couldn’t be your father?”
Not going to be intimidated, the little steambun hurries to make a face at his old man and then ran behind Bai Yan’s figure for safety. There’s no way he would admit that’s exactly what he’s feeling right now, otherwise who knows what sort of punishment awaited!
……
Demon Realm’s palace.
Standing idly in the garden, First Elder was simply gazing up at the blood colored sky when his eyes caught sight of the familiar figures quickly drawing in on his location.
“King, Queen, Prince, Princess, you’re all back!” Joy showing all over his face as the family lands in front of him.
“How are the arrangements for that bunch coming along?” The bunch Di Cang referred to are the demons who came out of the secret domain. They are meant to be the main attacking force for the Celestial Realm.
“King, the people you are talking about have all been arranged at the border city. We’re ready to begin the assault.” The senior slowly replies with a genuine smile.
“Mmm,” Di Cang nods indifferently, “did State Teacher return yet?”
“This …” First Elder staggered at the suddenness but answered truthfully anyways, “State Teacher hasn’t come back yet.”
“I understand then. Go down first and summon everyone above the Celestial Rank, we’re going to the border city.”
“Yes, My King.”
The senior had wanted to go carry out his orders right away when the childish voice stopped him from behind. “First Elder, how is Little Leopard?”
Arching his fist, “Prince, I have already sent a few of the best palace maids to service him, please be assured he is well cared for.”
“That’s good,” relieved with a sigh, “he is someone I met in the secret domain and he also saved my life, you must have them take good care of him.”
“Don’t worry Your Highness, no one would dare to hurt your friend.”
“Well then, I got nothing else to ask, you can go ahead to finish Baddie Father’s task.” Smiling with his pearly white teeth showing, the little steambun childishly says and stopped bothering the old fella.
It didn’t take long for the various elders of the Demon Council to gather before the king and queen after they were summoned.
Staring down at the group which she had a good part in helping of boosting their strength, Bai Yan muses over something before speaking: “There’s no need to bring so many to the border city at once. Fourth Elder, you and some of your peers will stay behind to protect the Demon Realm in case of a attack. Also, send someone to help me search for various alchemic ingredients, I have already expended most of my supplies.”
“Yes, My Queen.” Fourth Elder respectfully complied with a arch of his fist.
“In addition to First Elder, Third Elder, and Fifth Elder, the rest of the Demon Council will stay behind in case of a raid by the Celestial Realm.”
“As you wish Your Highness!” They all take to the knee and boomed out this response.
“Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law!”
