Chapter 957 “Undergarment Baby (2)”
“You don’t have to worry. When Di Cang asks, you can tell him I insisted on entering.” That said, Bai Yan immediately turns to the two males of her group, “Let’s go.”
Swoosh~!
Apparently the urge within Piggy was higher than they expected. Before they knew it, the little guy had zipped ahead again at incredible speed.
Seeing this, Mo Li Shang and Bai Yan only spent a brief moment of being stunned until they too followed inside. In a blink of an eye, the only ones left were the elder and his men from the Wing Clan at the base.
“Elder, what should we do?” The guards were exchanging looks of unease between themselves because they know the king won’t go easy on their clan if something happens to the queen.
Making a bittersweet smile, Fei Yi was just as helpless as his subordinates: “What else can we do? Go in of course. We can’t let any harm come to the queen.”
Just like that, the elder didn’t wait and quickly ran up the mountain trail with his people. There’s alarm in their eyes regarding every spec of greenery and terrain they came across, however, there were no danger to be found today. In fact, all were peaceful. Forget about the dangers mentioned by Fei Yi, there’s not even a predator to be found anywhere, only the faint whistling sound of the mild breeze in the air. Even so, the members of the Wing Clan didn’t dare to let their guards down.
Suddenly, the winged piglet that’s been leading the way had come to a full stop, his face full of sorrow when staring at the distant peak.
Bai Yan and others were confused by the face their friend was making, but it didn’t take long for them to discover why. Tightening in their chest due to the loss of breath, none wanted to utter a word for a minute.
“Fei Yi, did none of your people ever come investigate the mountain here?”
Just like everyone else, the elder was also taken aback by what he’s seeing. If not for Bai Yan’s question, he would still be in a daze by the picture.
“No Your Highness, none of the members of the Wing Clan would dare break into this sacred mountain due to the rule set by our ancestors.”
“Then what about other demons? Did none ever wander into this place by mistake?” she asks with suspicious eyes.
Shaking his head, Fei Yi kills the idea with his answer. “The whole demonic mountain range is our territory so rarely would an outsider come without invitation. If one does wander into the premise, they would normally be caught long before they reach this place.”
“I understand then…” Coming up to the little guy’s side, Bai Yan gently gives the piglet a pat on the back as a form of consoling gesture.
Those bones in front of them have all likely been there for quite a while. Strangely enough, these things are still pristinely white like the effects of time didn’t affect them at all. But one thing’s for sure though, these bones are all pigs with a pair of wings on their back.
Mo Li Shang on the other hand couldn’t bring himself to say anything when seeing the sorrowful face his little friend was making. He’s choking for words and wanted to cry as well because only he would know the truth. It’s not like Piggy doesn’t want to have a family, he just didn’t know where they were, that’s why they’ve been traveling for so long – it’s to locate said family.
Unfortunately, fate likes to toy with those still living. Though they’ve finally managed to find Piggy’s kinsmen, they’re all dead and were nothing but a pile of white glossy bones on this earth. Compounding the sadness was the amount of time it must’ve been since these creatures were alive. It couldn’t have been recent if Fei Yi’s words are to be believed.
“Uuuhhhwooohhh.” Piggy’s voice sounded so painful and heart wrenching that even the world seems to have darkened around them.
Normally the gloomy atmosphere would only be a play of the mind, but in this case, it’s a fact. There’s a mysterious power on this mountain answering the piglet’s call.
Moments later, Piggy’s sobbing had stopped and he began to start digging at the ground with his little trotters. Of course, the mood didn’t lighten up at all and the tears continued to flow downwards through all this.
