She believes in her mother, that’s why the pipsqueak would never leave.

  Ji Sky hissed a breath of cold air as he stared in astonishment at his own hand then. It’s red from being burned from making contact with Di Ling Yan’s skin. Out of reflex, the old senior wanted to retract his hand to avoid the heat, but thankfully he woke up in the nick of time and refused to let go.

  “You big baddie, let go of me, I’m going to find Mother, I’m going to find my mother……” Crying out loudly, Di Ling Yan continues too struggle from that hand holding onto her shoulder.

  As a result of this, her anger coincided with the rising temperature. If before the senior felt like he’s holding a fireball then right now he’s definitely holding molten lava. Even so, Elder Sky knew he mustn’t let go of this girl. Otherwise, she may disappear into the ruins forever……

  Before long, under this constant struggle, the crumbling slabs of the ancient ruin finally fell apart in its entirety. Now there stood nothing but a flat mass of rocks and the occasional metallic sheen of whatever that was before the collapse.

  “Miss Ling Yan!” Elder Sky saw an opening after the pipsqueak grew tired and quickly wrapped both his hands around her tiny body, his eyes equally as grim: “This place is too dangerous, we must first go back to the Monarch Manor to determine our next course of action.”


  “I’m not leaving! Mother will come back, I promised to wait here until she does!”


  “Miss Ling Yan……”


  “I said I’m not leaving!” Raging with inferno, even the temperature around the pipsqueak had started to broil over.

  Perhaps it’s the heat, or the distressing situation of the end result of the rubble before their eyes, but the old senior’s grip around the struggling girl’s shoulder gradually loosened since the main danger has passed.

  Ling Yan may be small, but she’s always been a stubborn one like her mother. Sluggish and swaying as she hobbled forward, the extreme sadness muffled any cry she would’ve had right now. This was despite the fact that she kept falling and scraping her knee. Any other time she would’ve cried at the sting.

  “Mother, don’t you want me anymore?” She squirmed forward, appearing all powerless and lost. “Ling Yan will be very good, I won’t make Mother angry, so…… can you come back, okay?”


  Answering her plea was nothing but the rustling wind of the leaves and the leveled rocks.

  Ji Sky didn’t try to console her anymore and merely stood in silence on the back. He knows words would only make the pain hurt all the more right now.

  Pulling herself up from the ground, the pipsqueak suddenly forces a smile from that dull looking face: “Ling Yan believes in Mother, she has never lie to me. Mother will definitely come back……”


  If from the beginning Elder Sky only believed the monarch only favored this child due to her adorable appearance, then right now he’s of the opinion it’s due to her personality. That level of trust and sensibility was a rare attribute no matter one’s age.
