“Things haven’t been clarified yet so let’s not jump to conclusions yet. And, I believe in Di Cang…”


  How can I believe his favoring and doting is all because I’m Xaichen’s mother, impossible! Absolutely impossible!

  “Mistress… but he knows about Chu Yi Feng. In this place, who else would know about him?” Little Rice adds, still wary of the situation.

  If it was going to be like this from the beginning then I shouldn’t have believed in Di Cang. Even if Mistress would be annoyed at first, it be better than letting Mistress get hurt like this…


  Likely irked by having the flaw in her excuse pointed out, Bai Yan coldly swept her gaze down at the grieving tiger: “Don’t let Xiachen or Xiao Wan know about this yet.”


  “Then Mistress you…”


  “Let’s go back first,” the woman’s hand tenses up at that sentence, her face abnormally white under the moonlight.

  ……


  White Moon Palace.

  Di Xiao Wan was currently leaning her beautiful face against one of her hands as the other tapped against the table in boredom. But just as her patience was about to reach a critical point, the door was suddenly pushed open and in came that amazing red figure.

  “Sister-in-law, why are you coming back so soon? Did you see my brother? What did he say?”


  But as soon as this nosy princess finished that bombardment of questions, the girl immediately began to notice the oddity and strangeness in the other side’s face. Her heart tenses up as a result.

  “What’s wrong Sister-in-law, why is your face looking so white? Is it… Xiachen can’t be saved?!” Her voice was a sobbing mess now as those eyes teared up with water. Her imagination could only be called wild in how she could deduce something like that from mere seconds of interaction…..

  “Xiao Wan,” Bai Yan began to stare straight at the other side, “I have something I want to ask you.”


  “What?” The princess blinks and blinks, puzzled by the suddenness of the question.

  “Second Elder of the Demon Council… is his loyalty trustable?”


  “Why are you asking me this question Sister-in-law? Did Second Elder offend you?” The princess has stopped crying by this point and got serious, “As far as I know, everyone within the Demon Council was personally hand picked by my brother, the only exception being First Elder himself. Their loyalty shouldn’t be an issue.”


  Aside from First Elder?

  Now things are starting to make sense to Bai Yan.

  No wonder Di Cang wouldn’t have the second elder share the plan with the first elder.

  “Then… I want ask you one more thing,” Bai Yan faintly closes her eyes like she’s afraid to speak the next part. However, it didn’t long before she opened them again with a pale complexion: “In the Demon Realm, is there any way for a person to change their looks, including their scent and aura?”


  The princess simply chuckled at that: “You must be joking with me Sister-in-law. Changing one’s look is easy, but ones smell and aura? That’s not possible because its something we are born with from within!”


  Tightly clenching those fingers into a ball at the cold hard truth, Bai Yan’s expression showed extreme sadness like her soul’s been ripped from that body.

  “I see then.…”


  Changing one’s appearance wasn’t an unreasonable thing to do, the human world alone had plenty of people capable of doing just that.

  But one’s scent and aura would never change!

  Even for Bai Yan, regardless of how amazing her alchemy was, not even she could pull off such a stunt. Well…. that’s assuming she didn’t peel off someone’s skin and then wore it as her own, which was impossible less she becomes a demon like that Qing Xue.

  “What exactly happened Sister-in-law?” Tugging at the woman’s sleeve, Di Xiao Wan appeared to be in distress over Bai Yan’s strange behavior. “Please don’t scare me. My brother had me take care of you. I can’t have anything happen to you…”


  That was a mistake. At the mention of Di Cang’s name again, Bai Yan’s complexion sank. “Xiao Wan, leave me for now, I want to be alone.” She sighs and beckons the other side to leave first.
