Chapter 1116 - “Bandit Di Cang (6)”
Di Xiao Wan didn’t even get to finish his sentence when her head felt a heavy force hitting it. Next thing the demon princess knew was her mind blacking out as she fainted away to the floor.
Waving that little fist in the air in a triumphant manner: “Come Dragony, let’s put Auntie aside first before setting off.”
Widening her eyes in startlement, the little missy shows a concerned face at what the boy did: “But Highness, the princess is your aunt, isn’t this a bit bad in what we’re doing?”
“Auntie is not so easily fooled anymore so I can only use violence, otherwise we will be in big trouble if she tags along. With her strength, she will definitely encounter danger along the way.” A frown surfaces as he says that.
It’s not like Bai Xiachen wanted to do it this way, but he has no other method aside from knocking his aunt out. The sweet dumbaclutz was too big of an unstable variable to their plan….
“Come on, help me carry her inside.”
He lowered his body to lift the demon princess up, however, the boy quickly discovered how heavy the girl was compared to her relatively thin body shape.
“Okay,” Dragony obediently ran to Bai Xiachen’s side to help.
When the two kids said they are bringing Di Xiao Wan back inside, they didn’t exactly mean carrying like in the traditional sense because the next second later, a noticeable thud could be heard after they literally threw the girl right across the air like some sort of throwaway baggage.
“Run!” After finishing their deed, the little steambun hurries to grab onto the little missy’s hand to run for the outside.
“Who?!”
Inside the palace, the patrolling guards had heard the commotion by this point and came running for the noise.
“Quick, go call Second Elder and them, the princess has been attacked!” The supervising captain exclaims and shouts out to his subordinate.
Without delay, one of the cleverer ones rushed for help and returned with the elders in question. When they saw how Di Xiao Wan has been knocked unconscious, one couldn’t even begin to describe how dreadfully white their faces were at this point.
“What are you all waiting for, hurry and go carry the princess inside!” Second Elder roars out at the palace guards while his legs trembled profusely.
But before the task could be carried out, Di Xiao Wan’s consciousness had already begun to return.
“Princess!” Fourth Elder speaks with a nervous voice, “What happened, did those from the Celestial Realm attack?”
At first the princess was still rubbing the back of her head from confusion due to being knocked out, but that question immediately brought her back to reality. “It’s Xiachen who hit me, he is running off to find Bai Yan. Go stop him!”
“What?” Fourth Elder shuddered from the realization of that news. Due to the intense shock, he nearly fell backwards when his legs stumbled backwards.
“I-I will go find His Highness, you bunch here take care of the princess.” It only took a blink of an eye after he said that to disappear from the spot. The man didn’t want to waste another second here because he’s afraid he won’t catch up to the boy.
“Princess, how are you?”
The remaining elders honestly didn’t expect the culprit to be Bai Xiachen himself. Now not only do they have to worry about the princess’s health here, they also have to worry about their prince encountering danger while not under their watch.
Likewise, Di Xiao Wan also felt guilty at being so careless. It’s true she wanted to go with them, but this has gone far beyond what she wanted and it’s all her fault.
……
In the valley not far from the palace, Bai Xiachen’s ears had picked up some movement from the rear. In his haste, he pulls the little missy into the bushes to hide.
