Chapter 671 “She’s a Good Person (7)”
“Tsing Yi, you are seriously injured now so stay here and care for yourself until I finish refining the medicine. I will come back for you.”
“Let Goldy and Silvery follow you then?” The dragoness offers the help after a moment of silence.
“No, they are better suited to protect you. Besides, I already have a little guardian with me, there’s no need for another two.” Bai Yan then proceeded to pat the little fox in her arms to indicate her son would be the little protector, “It getting late, I should leave now.”
As adamant as Tsing Yi was of this idea, she knew her mistress wouldn’t stay forever in the Dragon River….
“Then let them escort you at least,” she purses her lip and offered again.
This time Bai Yan didn’t refuse and answered with a nod: “When I have time, I will come see you.”
“Ooohooo.” The whimpering from the little fox meant that he’s also of that idea because he could come play with the new friend whenever he’s bored.
Goldy and Silvery were now both standing in attendance on both sides as they prepared to leave. The two are quite fast witted actually. Since their mistress has become this lady’s familiar, their attitude got extremely respectful with a lot of flattery tones in there during the trip back. Unfortunately for them though, Bai Yan has never been one to take bootlickers very well so it only became a bother. Once at the described exit, she shooed the both of them away like they’re contagious or something.
……
Back over in the surface, Huan Yin (girl) had just returned to her home after everything exploded into a rescue effort for Bai Yan. The poor lady was dreadfully moody for the lack of result and hanged her head as she walked past her own father.
“Hold it!” Huan Lifang hollers out to his daughter after getting no eye contact.
Coming back to attention, the young lady turns without energy: “Father, did you call me?”
“What happened to you today? Why are you so dejected?”
“I…” speaking like its nothing, “I can cultivate now.”
I can cultivate now….
This news literally smashed the old man into startling amazement. Nearly screaming in that voice due to the joyous news: “What do you mean? Daughter, you can cultivate now?!”
If she can cultivate then why is she acting so dejected?
Biting that lip, the girl couldn’t hold it in anymore and allowed the tears to come forward: “That lady who cured me is in danger and is now missing…. Father, please help, please send someone to save her!”
“What?!” Huan Lifang was furious and exploded with rage, “Since the lady was the one who cured you then of course we will go save her. She is the benefactor of our family. Just tell Father who it is, I will send my people to crush them right away!”
“And, and… she not only healed me, she also saved my life,” the girl’s voice started to stammer as she’s about to openly cry. “At the time the boat was being attacked by a dragon. The creature dragged me into the water and I thought I was about to die when no one came to help me. That’s when she dived in without any care for her own life to save me….”
Dragon?
This……
The father’s eye now showed absolute shock over the stunning news. He’s heard of there being dragons within the Dragon River, but never has he seen or heard of one being sighted.
It can’t be, there really are dragons living in that river?
“Daughter, you go inside and rest first. I will call the higher ups of the family and hold a meeting. Don’t worry, we will definitely find her even if its just a corpse!”
The girl only fell into danger for the sake of Huan Yin, we mustn’t be ungrateful and just stand by to watch.
“Mmm.” Despite the promise from her old man, the dejected girl’s mood remains as moody as ever. She knows, by this point the likelihood of survival was thin. Even if they do locate Bai Yan then it would be as a dead body and nothing more.
Meanwhile at the same time over at the chief’s residence, the womanizer Xun Huan had just arrived at his own home too when he started screaming out for help. “Mother, Father, hurry and come help! Someone needs saving!”
