Chapter 1379 “Come On Their Own (5)”
But even so, he’s going to do everything in his darnest to protect his younger brother and not let him get hurt in the slightest. He demands himself of this and no less!
Firming up in the face, Bai Xiachen suddenly took notice to a strange energy signature that flickered within the vicinity of his hiding spot. The steambun wanted to locate the source, but it came too fast and went away just as fast, causing a puzzled look along the boy’s face.
If I’m not wrong, that should be Mu Xue’s energy signature, but where is she?
……
Outside the cave, Mu Xue the traitorous girl was indeed hiding in a well-covered spot, her eyes grim and hard while staring into the damp cavernous cave. She wants to confirm if the child she sees are indeed the princess, which she could vaguely make out from her distance.
Of course, the plan was working out perfectly since Jin Tian had his back turned to the evil witch. He and Ling Yan are twins, though different gender and slightly chubby, it won’t hinder his ability to impersonate his own sister in this case since he’s wearing a dress. Coupling with the fact that Mu Xue’s not expecting Red Leaf to betray her, she’s quickly letting her guards down and grew conceited.
“That bitch should be lured away from the palace by now,” cackling a sinister grin at the thought, “now’s my chance…” Giving one final glance at the cave, Mu Xue quickly turned for the palace and disappeared from this valley.
After waiting for a while, Di Jin Tian was beginning to grow increasingly more bored and agitated. He’s squirming around looking for something to do, but he always stopped short of moving from his location upon remembering his order.
“Strange…” Bai Xiachen mutters this to himself, “Just now I clearly felt it, I’m not wrong. Why is that Mu Xue not coming?” Pouting, the boy was also growing increasingly more depressed at his failing plot.
“Big Brother, what’s wrong?” Toddling over after finding the oddity in his older brother’s expression, Di Jin Tian stretched out his hands to tug at the sleeve.
Shaking his head at the concern: “It’s nothing, I’m only worried that our plan might’ve been exposed somehow. I wanted to lure Mu Xue out using this occasion and perhaps remove her as well, but she’s not coming at all. If we don’t succeed here then those bad people from the Celestial Palace might learn of Ling Yan’s existence. By then it will be dangerous for your sister and they might steal her away.”
The little glutton actually looked stunned, but then that reaction didn’t last long because tears swiftly came pouring out of those eyes like a waterfall: “Big Brother, I don’t want Ling Yan to be taken away, wahhhh, I don’t want, hic, hic, I won’t be greedy and eat so much anymore. I will train hard and grow stronger, then I will protect Ling Yan and not let those bad people hurt us.”
Knowing he’s said too much and caused his little brother to start crying, Bai Xiachen quickly reached over with his hand to wipe those tears: “Don’t worry, I won’t let them. They will never lay their hands on Ling Yan!”
Perhaps the promise was enough, or Di Jin Tian was just that gullible, but the little glutton did stop crying right away. I believe in Big Brother. He won’t lie!
“Mother!” Suddenly, the corner of Bai Xiachen’s eyes picked up the familiar red figure and yelled out with surprise in his voice: “Mother, how did you get here?”
Bai Yan didn’t reply right away, only scanning the cave and making sure both her sons are alright. When she did so, the woman couldn’t be any more relieved.
Both of them are her life, her blood. If so much as a scratch come through them, she would feel just as pained and more!
“You silly, how can you keep this from your own mother? If you want to catch Mu Xue then there’s plenty of ways to do it, why take such risk?”
