Bai Yan was silent.

  If even Mo Li Shang could see through their plan then there’s no way the demon queen herself couldn’t do the same. It’s obviously a trap!

  “Di Cang didn’t know I had come here, why would they think to use me as bait?” Bai Yan caressed her chin in thought, those brows furrowing up due to the question.

  Di Cang didn’t know that Suzaku had told her about this, therefore it’s impossible to tell from his end.

  “Yan Yan, should we be heading over there then?” Mo Li Shan raised his head and asked this without blinking. He’s awaiting her decision, even if the decision meant walking into the thick of the fire.

  “Of course we’re going, why wouldn’t we?” Bai Yan sneered with a snickering snarl, “But we’re disguising ourselves as ordinary people instead, we don’t want to reveal our identity just yet.”


  Getting surprised in the face, Mo Li Shang spent a good second to contemplate her intent before replying: “Yan Yan, I’ve been wandering around the Endless Forest lately and figured out the general direction of the Monarch Manor here. It’s not completely accurate, but if you want to go through with this then I can lead the way. Those gathered crowds will be good cover for us as well.”


  In the Hell Realm, not everyone knows the location of the Monarch Manor. If they want to head over then they must seek a guide.

  “Alright, we’ll go with that then. In a bit, I’ll begin spreading the word around and make this event as big as we can.” Bai Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing the bottomless frost brewing from within at her husband being schemed against. She’s a woman and a wife, there’s no way she’s not mad at what’s done to Di Cang.

  ……


  The plan was good, but this time around Bai Yan and Mo Li Shang didn’t even need to act. The Monarch Manor’s people had already beat them to the punch when they acted. By the next day, just about everyone with a name had been invited to this event.

  At this moment, the trees that enveloped the Monarch Manor scattered aside as if they were under command, thus revealing the ancient and dignified estate representing the greatest power in these lands.

  At the same time, two rows of maids stood side by side at the main entrance, their faces solemn and expressionless as if they were undisturbed by the noisy crowds outside.

  As planned, Bai Yan was hidden among these people while she searched the crowd for traces of her husband. However, there were no signs of him at all despite her efforts….

  “Yan Yan, will he really come?” There was still some concern in Mo Li Shang’s eye he scanned the crowd around himself.

  Bai Yan gently pursed her lips: “Regardless, we are already here so there’s no way I’m giving this chance up.”


  Squeal!

  The sound of the manor’s main gate swings open and catches the audience’s attention.
