Chapter 1487 “Bai Yan’s Return (11)”

So…… this time, I will die without a doubt.

In this instant, all that could come to Winger’s mind was a lovely and stubborn little face, his cold eyes showing a flicker of reluctance at that image.

Princess, I’m afraid in the future… I can’t stay with you anymore.

“Watch out!” Dragon Flame saw how a lightning was directly coming down above Bai Ning and Winger’s head so he hurried to drag the woman away. The old goat wanted to save Winger too but if he tried to move him as well, it would be a pointless effort because the target was obviously him.

Boom!

This time the impacting force was incredibly violent, more so than any other strike from before. And sure enough, Winger’s body instantly exuded a burnt smell and appeared scorched and black.

The old goat couldn’t hold it in anymore despite his own fears of that power. Letting go of the queen’s mother, he sped over to his acquaintance’s son to see if he’s fine. He knew it wouldn’t be good, but the condition of the victim went beyond his expectation: Winger had reverted back to his beastial bird form and laid there silently on the ground.

“Winger?” He calls out tentatively to see if there’s a reaction. At this moment, the old goat felt indescribable pain as emotions ran wild in his old heart.

Unfortunately, no response came of that beckoning. There’s only blood, a reddish burnt fluid seeping out of Winger’s body, a sure sign that the worst possible outcome has befallen the victim. Against this sort of picture, Dragon Flame knew it’s too late for him to help.

If it wasn’t for these people from the Celestial Realm… he wouldn’t have died! This is all those bastards’ fault!

“Dragon Flame, you go deal with those people, I’ll think of a way to save him.” Bai Ning says with clenched teeth, her eyes sharp as a knife while staring straight up at the looming cloud of electric might above their heads.

Although Winger’s status was that of a guard in the city, but make no mistake, everyone knew the bird man could’ve fled without sacrificing himself. He’s here because of Bai Yan. For that reason alone, Bai Ning mustn’t give up even if it means challenging whatever power’s behind that thunderstrike.

Just as the proud woman’s about to step forward to do the unimaginable, a light call suddenly came down from the rear, “Mother?”

After hearing this voice, the startled woman gradually looked up, her sight slowly landing on a similar face to her own, “Yan Yan, when did you get back?”

Normally Bai Ning would have it no other way than to have her daughter return as soon as possible, but this moment here in the heat of a life or death battle, she didn’t want to see the girl.

Bai Yan did not answer Bai Ning’s question, only descending with her son in tow from the sky.

“Mother, what’s going on here?” She didn’t miss the burnt looking bird on the ground and the incapacitated Keepers further away.

Bai Ning couldn’t respond to that due to an unexpected change in the air. Right as the mother and son came down, this grandmother immediately noticed the power from the lightning promptly increasing and growing more tyrannical.

And……

Instead of focusing in on Winger like it did before, the lightning bolts are now focused entirely on Bai Yan’s spot!

“Yan Yan, be careful!” The grandmother urgently raised a hand to drag her family behind herself. Thankfully she did so too because right afterwards, a lightning bolt had come striking down and leaving a deep hole right in front of them on the ground.

Bai Yan gawked at the suddenness of it all.

All she knew was that people from the Celestial Realm are here looking for trouble, but these thunder bolts, why would it want to kill her?

“Mother, are you all right?” Furrowing in the brow, Bai Yan reaffirms everyone’s wellbeing before looking for her own husband’s shadow.

It’s within reason for this demon queen to expect her partner the demon king to be around when an invasion force was at their doorstep, yet Di Cang was nowhere to be found. At this realization, an uncomfortable sensation rattled the woman’s heart.

Did something happen to him?

“Where’s Di Cang?” She asks with a worried note.
