Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Although MO Beiyuan was the East Continent’s Emperor, the two of them spoke quite casually, on the way back from the Fallen Demon Forest and during the time in the Yuan Mansion.
In addition, Bai Ze was a generation older than MO Beiyuan.
Therefore, in front of him, Bai Ze did not have so many rules.
“Ranran wants to go to the Great Desolate Prison with the Bai family army. I have to go with her.” MO Beiyuan lowered his eyes and his voice deepened.
‘Great Desolate Prison? Is Xiao Ran planning to go to the Great Desolate Prison with Xiao Wan to pick up the Bai Family?”
In fact, Bai Ze had originally planned to make a trip there himself.
However, Bai Wan pestered him and called him ‘brother’ a few times. He, who doted on his sister, could only nod and agree.
He planned to send more soldiers of the Bai family army to protect Bai Wan. Now that MO Beiyuan and Yun Ran were going together, he had nothing to worry about.
“Alright, leave the East Continent to me!”
Bai Ze took it that it was all for his sister and niece.
When they set off, Bai Ze realized that they had brought Bun and Little
Sweetcake with them.
“Are you really going to the Great Desolate Prison and not sightseeing? Why did you bring Bun and Sweetcake along? Other people might not know what kind of place that is, but don’t you, MO Beiyuan, know?”
Bai Ze frowned and looked serious. He was so angry that he had forgotten his status as a ruler and minister.
Yun Ran had actually been wanting to ask, “Isn’t that place a place of exile? Is there anything special about it?”
Back then, when she suggested going to the Great Desolate Prison, MO Beiyuan dissuaded her. Yun Ran had always thought that it was because that place was a place of exile; since conditions were barren, and the order was chaotic, he did not want her to go.
However, later on, when the little packrat happily went to show off to the secret guards, the secret guards’ expressions didn’t seem right either.
Bai Ze explained, “The Great Desolate Prison is the largest place of exile in the five countries. Most of the area is yellow sand and is very desolate. That’s why it’s called the Great Desolate Prison. All the exiles from the five countries will be thrown into the Great Desolate Prison. This is a superficial excuse.”
“Superficial? Could it be that there are other secrets regarding the Great Desolate Prison?
Yun Ran was interested and her watery eyes filled with curiosity.
Bai Ze’s eyes darkened. He looked in MO Beiyuan’s direction and slowly said, “That’s right. There is indeed a secret in the Great Desolate Prison, a secret that only the royal families of the five countries and a small number of large families know.”
As soon as he said that, Yun Ran became even more curious.
“What secret?”
This time, MO Beiyuan’s cold voice spoke before Bai Ze’s. There was even obvious displeasure in it. “You’re being mysterious! Don’t scare her with talks about those ghouls. With me around, those ghouls can forget about getting close to her.”
Yun Ran said, “A ghoul?” Was it the ghoul she knew about?
“Are there ghouls in the Great Desolate Prison? I’d like to meet them.” Bai Ze had originally planned to use the ghouls to scare Yun Ran.
Unexpectedly, this girl didn’t know fear at all.
Looking at her, she seemed quite excited.
Bai Ze slapped his forehead. He had almost forgotten that this little girl had barged into the Fallen Demon Forest alone and turned the forest upside down.
“Yun Ran is bold and isn’t afraid of ghouls, but aren’t you worried that a little baby like Little Sweetcake will be scared?”
Yun Ran paused for a moment before smiling. “I don’t know if anything else can scare Sweetcake, but the ghouls definitely can’t scare her, because she has a little brother with the bloodline of a ghoul.”
When her little dumpling first saw Yan Qi, she was still smiling as she handed him candied hawthorn to eat..
