Bai Ning would have liked to take Ning Yu out to spread some of the stuffiness pent up insider herself, sadly, any of that desire was dissipated once she got a good look at the local township. It’s depressing and lifeless on the streets, a real disappointment due to all the fearmongering surrounding the recent invasion.

  “Mother!” Suddenly, a dainty young girl rushes over from out of the blue and threw herself into Bai Ning’s arm.

  This girl was soft and lovely in appearance, giving off a faint fragrance to the nose, adding in the two braids hanging down the side of her face, she’s absolutely adorable. But before the lady herself could speak, another voice had cut in from the side. It’s childish as well, but carried a sense of calm rarely found in someone that young.

  “Dummy, how can you recognize the wrong person? This is not Mother.”


  At the pointer, the little girl lets go of her hug and looks up. Drawing a frown: “I’m sorry, I mistook you for my mother because you look so much alike.”


  Bowing down to eye level, Bai Ning didn’t mind and found the encounter to be refreshing.

  “It’s all right, it’s normal to make mistakes on occasion. Say, am I really that much like your mother?”


  Its then the little boy came out from behind. Just like the girl, this young boy was also quite the eye-catcher, but the air he had was less innocent and more pronounce. This mainly had to do with that single red eye, it’s a huge contrast to the rest of his appearance.

  This would honestly be the first time Bai Ning ever came across such a strange child. Nevertheless, she still wanted to get closer to the boy for some unknown reasons.

  “Mhmm, you are very similar to our mother, the only difference is that she’s younger and more beautiful. Our mother is the number one beauty in this world you know.” As soon as the little steambun started to talk about his mother, his face would get all excited and full of pride.

  Normally a female would be quite upset at being called old, but in this case Bai Ning didn’t and got interested instead. “Then where’s your mother? If fate would allow it, I would like to meet her.”


  Sadly, that was the wrong thing to say in this case. Immediately, Dragony’s tear started to trickle down at the sore topic.

  “Ooohwooo, we’re separated from Mother. Pretty Granny, did you see our mother?”


  “I’m sorry but I haven’t. However, since you’re saying I’m very much like your mother then of course I will keep an eye out for her. Oh right, you two still haven’t told me your names yet.”


  Casting a look at the woman whom held such similarity to his own mother, Bai Xiachen figured nothing bad could come of it even if he did. “My name is Bai Xiachen, and she is Dragony, the two behind us is Dragon Flame and Half Qing Sing, they’re our bodyguards.”


  That introduction actually made the old goat gawk his jaws down.

  Upon remembering the impending freedom that’s going to come his way afterwards, he endured the discontent and held it in.

  “Your name is Bai Xiachen? What a coincidence, my surname is also Bai. My full name is Bai Ning.” The lady introduces herself as well.

  ?A tremor shook the boy’s heart, causing his eyes to widen in surprise.
