Novel Bin Chapter 869 - “Three Months (1)”
On this sunny day, Bai Xiachen was currently sitting on a granite rock not far away from where his mother disappeared off into the mirror.
“How come Mother still hasn’t come out of that place yet, it’s been over three months already. I miss her….” Pouting with his chin leaning against those hands, it’s obvious he’s very much bored based on that lifeless face. This was the first time the child’s been away from Bai Yan for so long so this was a new experience for him.
“Prince!” It’s then a young female head pops out from one side. Smiling in the face: “Guess what, I found a fun place nearby. Want to go have a look together? We can explore it and maybe find something nice.”
“I don’t want to go Dragony,” shaking his depressed head, Bai Xiachen firmly plops his whole body down onto the rock to show how much of a sloth he was acting. “I want to wait for Mother to come out so I’m not going.”
The little dragoness was rather perplexed by this rejection. Biting those fingernails, Why is His Highness acting so rejected? It’s only been a few months, what’s so depressing about this?
It’s not that Dragony was being inconsiderate in having this thought pattern. She’s been without a proper mother all her life due to the limited mental capacity she was born with, therefore the very idea of a child always being with the parent didn’t even strike her.
“Then I’ll wait here with you Prince. We will wait for Her Highness to come out together.” Raising a lovely smile, the missy takes a seat without asking for permission.
……
Boom!
From out of the blue, a land shaking tremor rocks the entire peach blossom forest and causes the two kids to tumble right off of the rock.
As the only male here without a single adult, Bai Xaichen instinctively did the right thing and reacted like any boy should do. He used himself as a cushion for the girl so she wouldn’t get hurt from the fall. Just that when he turned his head around after coming back to his senses to check on the mirror again, he was horrified to find it cracking!
In his haste, the boy couldn’t think of anything else. Pushing himself up from the floor, he makes a hard dash over towards the mirror while making a painful scream for it to stop whatever it was doing. Sadly, before those tiny feet had even taken a few steps over, the entire mirror suddenly shatters into hundreds of tiny shards.
“Mother!!! Please come out!! Please come back out!!!” he plops down onto the grass and didn’t know what to do next.
Dragony reacted the slowest here but she’s not blind. Realizing what just happened and what it meant, huge trickles of tears immediately came pouring out of those eye sockets.
The mirror shattered… Her Highness… she’s never coming back?
No! Her Highness can’t leave like this! She can’t!!
……
Due to the huge commotion of this incident, it didn’t take long for the rest of the Holy Land to be alarmed. By the time Lord Chu Ran and the three elders came running over, all they saw was the painful cries of both children sitting on the ground.
“Xiachen!” Hurrying to pick up the boy, Zheng Qi (first) asks with trembling hands: “Tell grandshifu here what happened.”
Though most of the tears had stopped, Bai Xiachen was still red in the eyes due to all the crying. Almost a murmur in how low that voice was: “The mirror, the portal, it shattered.”
Chu Ran looked horrified over the answer. Quickly reaching down to examine the shards, the man kept muttering to himself in disbelief: “How can this be? Why did it shatter? What exactly happened inside the Holy Domain?”
“Lord, what is going to happen now that the mirror is gone?”
