Chapter 1823 “He Doesn’t Deserve to Live (5)”

“Grandpapa,” the pipsqueak’s smile was bright and joyous as she spoke, “this is my grandmother and mother. They are here to pick me up so I’ll be going home with them afterwards.”

The entire body of the man had gone stiff as a rock there. Slowly turning his head like a utter robot, he makes a cringy face like he’s eaten a lemon.

“Is this girl your daughter?”

Answering with a blank face, Bai Yan replies in a dismissive voice: “Yep.”

“Why didn’t you mention it to me at the time while we were inside the ruin? I remember mentioning the name to you at least three or five times! Why don’t you say she’s your daughter?” Due to the excitement of this grand news, Heavenly’s entire face was changing color now.

Still bland in her voice, Bai Yan doesn’t sound so motivated in her explanation: “That’s because I was afraid you might get over excited like you’re doing right now. I had intended to tell you after we leave the ruins. Not like you are getting any younger you know, it’s not good to get too much stimulation at your age.”

Gu Lao and Butterfly did not expect Bai Yan to use this sort of a tone to speak to Heavenly. As a result, they’re both staring at the demon queen in a weird way. Of course, the former being that of joy since if the woman offends the monarch, then it would be equivalent to a death sentence, thus removing Gu Ya’s love rival.

And the latter... well, it’s obviously full of worry.

Butterfly opened her mouth then and wanted to persuade Bai Yan to change her attitude. Unfortunately, it’s at this exact moment that her injury had a relapse like fate destined it. The female elder found her words stuck in the throat, forcing her to only use those eyes as a pleading sign to the pipsqueak to stop this demon queen.

Ling Yan naturally saw Butterfly’s expression, but she did not care too much in light of this. In her view, whatever her mother does was right, that’s why she had no reason to stop it.

“You...” Heavenly huffs a long breath to gather himself before shaking his own head helplessly at that childish behavior. “Only you would be so worrisome about me, thinking I will do something risky for Ling Yan’s sake. I may not have raised you during your childhood, but don’t think I don’t know your personality and character.”

If Bai Yan had really told him about it in the ruins, he probably would’ve done something stupid and hurt himself out of impulse. By then nothing good would’ve come of it.

So......

It’s the right choice to keep it a secret from himself.

Wanting to give her old man a cheeky smile after that comment, Bai Yan was halfway into that when her eyes fell upon the pipsqueak’s dress again. Immediately, her half-formed smile flipped upside and transformed back into that of anger.

“You and Mother step aside first, I’ll deal with this situation first. And when we go back I’ll apologize for keeping things a secret from you.”

At this moment Gu Lao’s brain was undoubtedly not working properly. All over his mind was the words Heavenly used.

Although I never raised you since you were a child...

Raised you?

What does that mean? Can’t be, this woman is supposed to be growing up around the monarch? Otherwise, why else would he say something like that in an apologetic tone?

Not waiting for him to understand the dilemma, Bai Yan’s figure had already come before the old bastard.

In his haste, Gu Lao hurriedly drew his blade upwards to meet the sword coming down at his head. Sparks flew at the metallic contact of the two swords.

Ynnn~!

Stepping back several steps at the force, the old bastard found his arm going numb despite being able to repel the first strike.

The strength of this woman... She’s likely above that of Elder Butterfly’s.

Even among the various ranks of the Demi Divine Lord level, which Gu Lao and Butterfly was at, there are still the strong ones and the weak ones. For example, Butterfly would be somewhere at the middle area while Gu Lao hit the higher barrier of the same level due to the drug.

Right now, based on the old bastard’s assumption, Bai Yan’s strength should be equal to Elder Sky’s, the second strongest in this domain. For that reason, his complexion had gone a little whiter as he continued to retreat under the onslaught of the demon queen’s blade.

“You took a drug?”
