Chapter 1994 - Battle (4)
Chapter 1994 “Battle (4)”
“Mother.” Bai Xiachen tugged on Bai Yan’s sleeve and made an uncertain face: “What was that just now?”
Bai Yan shook her head and began thinking, “I don’t know either. This should be a matter related only to the Hell Realm, it likely doesn’t have anything to do with us. Ignore it.”
However, that doesn’t mean Bai Yan’s attention wasn’t aware of her surroundings. During this tiny break in the fighting, the demon queen noticed there was a missing person in the courtyard. Specifically, Mo Xin Yan should still be subdued by the maids in the back. It’s pretty apparent she had snuck away using this distraction. But no matter, it doesn’t matter since the main problem lies with Willow and her goons.
Then just when Bai Yan wanted to move and fight, Bai Xiachen’s childish voice cuts in again, “Mother, leave these thugs to me and Uncle Mo Li Shang. You are a woman, and we are men so you only need to stand behind us and watch.”
After uttering those heart-warming words, the steambun swung around to face the young man who’s been smiling the entire time: “Uncle Mo Li Shang, it’s been a long time.”
“Long time no see, Xiachen…” Greetings done, Mo Li Shang’s voice immediately got serious, “Yan Yan, you don’t need to dirty your hands so leave them to us boys.”
Bai Yan was taken aback by the boy’s behavior. Then turning to look at the people from the Monarch Manor, an idea flashed within her eyes. It’s an excellent opportunity to let her son practice on these foes since they’re not all that strong. If the two work together, overcoming them should be fine.
“Okay, you guys stay safe.” She ruffled her son’s hair and smiled with confidence.
“Mother, I am powerful now, you don’t need to treat me like a baby anymore.” The steambun pouts but still raises his head to gloat.
I’m older now, I can protect Mother and be the man of the family…..
The fighters of the Monarch Manor don’t care what arrangement this family had in mind. As soon as they heard Mo Li Shang’s suggestion, they became outraged and jumped the youngster first with their swords.
But that carelessness was a costly mistake. The more headstrong that charged a the forefront became the first victim of Mo Li Shang’s blade as he countered with a direct slash from the head down. The blood instantly stained the sky red as it splattered everywhere.
Bai Yan silently watched this unfold from the rear. She always knew the guy was capable, but this level of strength was something of an enigma to her understanding. Undoubtedly, a touch of wariness appeared in her eyes as the guy played his dance of death.
But the answer would have to come later. Right now she’s preoccupied with observing her son, who’s now confronted with a guy flexing an unnatural level of muscles in those arms. The man’s trying to grab the steambun and pop him with a squeeze.
Of course, the simple attack wouldn’t land on someone as nimble as Bai Xiachen. First jumping backwards in the last moment, his small figure bursts into a ball of white light and transforms into a small silver fox. Using this sudden change in size, the steambun uses the surprise to get in the blind spot of the muscle man and stab into the flesh with his mini sword.
“I will make you pay for bullying my parents while I’m not around! No one is allowed to hurt my mother!” Though Bai Xiachen’s voice remains undeveloped, the dominant and proud aura was already showing. He’s well on his way to becoming the next demon king.
