“You go back.” The pipsqueak barely manages to smile there, “I don’t want anyone to lose their life for my sake. If you or anyone else does, I will live the rest of my life out in guilt. Please leave Auntie Butterfly…… He won’t necessarily kill you if you do.”


  Growing heavy in the eyes, the female elder did not respond to the pipsqueak’s plea. “You’re so old already Gu Lao, why must you bully such a young child. Don’t you have any consciousness at all? Miss Ling Yan is so well behaved, everyone in the manor adores her, how come its only you and Gu Ya who dislikes her as so?”


  Gu Lao casts a cold hard glance at the baby girl before calmly replying to that series of questioning. “Because she doesn’t deserve to live!”


  In this very second when the air felt ominously heavy, a loud explosive noise suddenly rocked the ground as a huge crevice began to open from the direction of the ruins.

  Gu Lao turned his head in surprise, apparently not understanding what had happened again. However, Di Ling Yan did as she caught onto the familiar whiff of smell hitting her nose. Without hesitation, she stopped crying and toddled towards the direction of that huge crack.

  “Mother……”


  “This……” Butterfly’s eyes were equally as shocked as the old bastard’s.

  Not so long ago, the ruins had already sunk and caused everyone to lose hope, and now there’s a huge crevice forming on the ground from out of the blue? No matter how experienced she was, the female elder still had trouble making sense of all these changes.

  Within a moment, a red light flew out of the huge crevice and came before the pipsqueak’s view.

  Bai Yan’s expected things were bad based on her intuition but she never expected things to be this bad. Her daughter was covered in blood, for that, her heart wanted to explode as her lung suffocated due to the extreme anger swelling out from within.

  “Ling Yan!” In a flash, the demon queen lunged towards her own baby and pulled her into a protective hug.

  This reunion was heartwarming of course, but for the golden chicklet on the woman’s shoulder, this meeting wasn’t so nice as he got blown right off due to the blasted speed. If not for those tiny wings, he might’ve fallen heads over heels from the incident.

  “Who did this?” Bai Yan’s voice trembled as she asked, the murderous intent all apparent along her eyes.

  Answering this was Butterfly who made a regretful face: “Mrs. Di, I’m sorry, I couldn’t protect your daughter properly……”


  “Mother,” growing tense due to how the conversation was evolving, the pipsqueak promptly spoke in Butterfly’s defense, “It’s not Auntie Butterfly’s fault, it’s that bad; old man over there. She did everything to keep me safe. Also, also, it’s not as bad as it looks, my blood has healing properties, see? The cut on my hand isn’t so bad, it’s only a light scratch, it doesn’t hurt.”


  Despite the tears trickling down the baby’s cheek, she continues to smile to act tough when in fact the dagger she used hurts a whole tone!
