Chapter 555 “Digging His Own Grave (2)”
“What?” Bai Yan leans her head against the palm of that hand, smiling all prettily and sweet: “Do you have an issue with my order?”
Unable to resist that appearance, Di Cang hurries to tighten his grasp: “You think that’s enough to stop me from coming in? In this palace, none can stop me….”
“Since no one can stop you then why did you have to crawl through the dog hole in the wall?” While Bai Yan continues to smile all sweetly, the other side only grew darker in the complexion at being found out.
“Hmm,” she gently strokes her own chin, “I say, should I let the whole world know how you were crawling through a dog hole just to get into your own home? I’m sure your citizens would have quite the laugh once it becomes public knowledge.”
Talk about sinking into the bottom of the ocean. Damn it, if it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have even done such a shameful thing. How can she just turn around threatening me like that!
“Oh right, tell me about that Jun Ruqing that I’ve been hearing so much about.” Still lazy on the couch, Bai Yan asks with sleepy eyes.
“Jun Ruqing?” Di Cang tightly furrows his brow as he worked hard to remember such a person, “Who is that?”
“…..”
Now it was Bai Yan to make a stupor face for once. According to the information she got from Di Xiao Wan, that woman should be part of the fox clan and lives in the palace as well. Yet Di Cang doesn’t know who the woman was?
“Get in here!” The man suddenly snaps and shouts at the doorway.
Bang!
Following the crashing sound of the door slamming open, what came into view was the impacting picture of the demon princess falling face first to the floor after losing her balance.
“Brother, I am not eavesdropping or anything, nor did I hear anything about you crawling through a dog hole. You have to believe me. I don’t know anything.”
Di Cang’s face sank again: “Who is Jun Ruqing?”
Seeing that her brother doesn’t intend to pursue the matter, the troubled princess promptly issued a sigh of relief: “Don’t you know Jun Ruqing? Her parents died protecting the Demon Realm, and as an act of pity for the girl being an orphan, First Elder brought her into the palace to live with us. Oh yes, she’s also the elder’s goddaughter.”
“Oh, now that you’ve mentioned it, there is someone like that if I remember correctly.” Di Cang actually sounded a bit taken aback by the news.
Twitching hard in the mouth over her brother’s reaction: “Brother, how can you not remember her? She’s been living in the palace for so long and would often appear before you when First Elder comes around. At the very least you should have an image of her face, right?”
Pursing that lip guiltily, Di Cang didn’t want to admit he really didn’t have a single impression of whoever this Jun Ruqing was.
“I must’ve have not paid attention back then. Oh yes, Yan Yan, why did you suddenly mention her?”
Nothing but an insignificant woman, what need is there to remember someone like that?
In actual fact, Bai Yan regretted it the first moment she asked the question because she knew this might give the other side the wrong impression that she cares…. Cares about that Jun Ruqing and Di Cang’s relationship.
Making an awkward laugh to hide her true thoughts: “I’m only just asking, nothing special.”
Mhmm, I’m only just asking, nothing special….
“You can’t ask about others in the future!” Di Cang reaches over again and pinches that chin, “You can only ask about me from now on.”
Yan’er rarely asks about other people unless its related to herself, it couldn’t be… she likes the female sex and not men? Thinking of this, Di Cang’s face got darker than the bottom of a burnt pot.
Shooting a creepy cold stare at his sister: “Go pass on my order, no female bodies are allowed near the White Moon Palace, especially that Jun Ruqing!”
Popping that mouth in great surprise, the demon princess didn’t expect such an order. Why does Brother make it sound like that woman’s fighting him for Sister-in-law’s favor?
Shuddering at that creepy idea, Di Xiao Wan didn’t want to know the truth: “I will go right away Brother, no need to give me that look you know.”
