It’s unsure if Monarch Willow had sensed something, but the woman stopped and fixed her sight on the inn’s open window. Their gazes met and caused a strange and uncomfortable stir within the monarch’s heart.
“Monarch, what happened?” One of the maids saw her mistress’s strangeness and asked from one side.
Flickering with coldness in those eyes, Willow withdrew her gaze and dismissed the discomfort: “It’s nothing. Let’s keep walking.”
I don’t know if it’s my delusion, but why do I find that woman familiar….
It can’t be…. Is she here?
Willow’s expression instantly got ugly over that idea.
No, it can’t be her!
There’s no way that woman can come to the Hell Domain. If she really did, she would’ve died under the obstacles I set beforehand…..
Yes, I’m just overthinking this. It’s impossible!
Inhaling deeply to calm her nerve, Willow casts one final glance at the window to find it already closed with the curtain.
……
“Yan Yan.” Bai Yan had just withdrawn her gaze from the street when a knocking hit her door.
Following another glance at the window, she turns and decides to open the door instead. Once unlocked, she got welcomed by the expected baby face of the young teen standing at the doorway.
“What’s the matter Shang Shang?”
“I just wanted to see you…” Mo Li Shang’s smile gradually grew more significant as his pupils landed on the open window behind the demon queen, “Yan Yan, I just saw the monarch of the Hell Domain outside. I think…. she already knows where Di Cang is.”
Bai Yan slightly narrowed her eyes, Shang Shang is likely correct. That monarch wouldn’t have left her abode unless there’s news about Di Cang. However, it will become too obvious if we follow her too tightly. Once discovered, things will only get more complicated.
“I know, it’s fine, we will wait here for now. No matter what happens, it will spread to the city. Afterward, we only need to go to Di Cang.” Bai Yan smiled shallowly, “In addition, I want to ask you to keep a close eye on the situation of this Endless City. Once there is movement, come tell me.”
“Okay.” Mo Li Shang didn’t resist the idea and happily obliged the request, “I will tell you the second I learn of anything new so don’t worry, nothing will escape my ear.”
“Hmm.” Bai Yan didn’t doubt her friend’s ability and lazily stretched her arms with a yawn.” Then I’ll leave things to you while I rest.”
Mo Li Shang seems to have something else he wanted to speak about but stopped right there. In his mind, that could wait if the demon queen needs to sleep. And as an attentive friend, he made sure to close the door behind himself when he went back downstairs.
“Mo Li Shang, I hope you… really won’t betray me.” Bai Yan stood inside the room in silence as she gazed at the closed door. She was deliberating whether to enact some insurance on this plan since she knew the teen was hiding something from herself. In the end, she jumped out of the window and onto the street for where Willow had gone.
