My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 557 Bo Fengyin, the Little Demon King, is Here Again 2
The Song Family lived in a simple wooden shack. All five of them were crowded into the small space, which lacked even running water, let alone a toilet.
Behind the shack, a pit had been dug with two wooden planks placed over it as footrests, serving as a rudimentary outhouse.
At this moment, Fang Jing was holding her nose, squatting in the outhouse to clear away feces.
She was no longer the wealthy lady who had once lived in a grand villa, served hand and foot. Her status had plummeted since arriving on Prison Star. Now, all the domestic duties for the five-person household fell on her shoulders. From doing laundry and cooking to cleaning every day, her once well-maintained hands were now covered with calluses.
Whenever she displeased her mother-in-law, the old woman would beat her with a broom, blaming her for Song Pianlan’s death.
Her mother-in-law’s life on Prison Star wasn’t easy either; each day was insufferable.
Here, there were no skyscrapers, no fried chicken or bubble tea—only an endless desert. The harsh UV rays had burned her skin as dark as charcoal.
She couldn’t help but gaze towards the end of the desert.
Rumor had it that an oasis lay at the desert’s edge, but reaching it would require a month’s journey on foot.
Even so, they wanted to try, but the locals monitored them daily, leaving no opportunity for escape.
Just then, a flying vehicle approached from the distance. Her mother-in-law’s eyelids twitched violently. It’s that Little Demon King again!
Why has he come again?
Her father-in-law, Old Master Song, had been driven to his sickbed by that Little Demon King and was now hanging on by a thread. If that boy came again, it would be tantamount to sending the old man straight to the King of Hell!
Song Tengfei was performing hard labor for other prisoners. Spotting the aircraft in the sky, the corner of his eye twitched fiercely. Here he comes again! How much more can we take? I’ve fallen from a multi-billionaire corporate head to the bottom of Prison Star’s food chain. When will they finally leave me alone?
「Elsewhere, in the Undersea Imperial Capital on Mu Continent.」
Mo Yinhe had gathered all the little dragon cubs onto the aircraft, which was preparing to depart for Yecheng.
Elder Madam Hua and Hua Jinse had meticulously prepared many necessities for Ye Jingzhe’s journey. Standing beneath the aircraft, they fussed over every detail, reluctant to see the child leave.
But their homeland was unsafe. If the child could leave for a secure place, how could they possibly stop him?
Nowadays, so many wished to seek refuge abroad but had no chance!
Other Undersea nations were simply not accepting people from Mu Continent, fearing the epidemic would spread to their own lands.
With tears welling in her eyes, Elder Madam Hua placed her hand on Ye Jingzhe’s small head and said to Si Mingjing, who stood beside her, "This child has never left us or the Imperial Capital. What if he can’t adapt to a new environment? His illness has only recently healed."
Little Gu Shurong scampered over, firmly grasped Ye Jingzhe’s small hand, and chirped, "Don’t you worry, Grandma Hua! I haven’t had any problems adapting. Rest assured, I’ll take good care of Big Brother. I guarantee he’ll eat well, drink well, and sleep well!"
Elder Madam Hua said, "You two have been close since childhood, and now you are truly brothers. You must look out for each other in the future."
Gu Shurong patted his little chest. "Okay!"
Hua Jinse walked over and lifted Ye Jingzhe into her arms. "Once you’re there, if you start missing home, just call your Auntie. Auntie will bring you back immediately. Remember, the Hua Family will always be your home, and I will always be your true aunt."
Ye Jingzhe, the Little Bingshan, rarely showed emotion on his face. He pursed his thin, delicate lips and nodded. "I understand, Auntie."
Ye Jingzhe, who had never left the Imperial Capital, was suddenly filled with a yearning for the outside world. Yet, seeing his grandmother and aunt so reluctant to let him go, he was overcome with guilt.
He felt so unfilial.
Hua Jinse placed Ye Jingzhe into Mo Yinhe’s arms, then turned away, unable to watch. "Go now," she urged.
If they don’t leave now, Grandmother’s heart and mine will shatter.
Better a sharp, short pain than a long, drawn-out one.
Mo Yinhe led all the children onto the aircraft. Before departing, he gave Si Mingjing a tight hug. "I’ll take the children to Yecheng and be back tomorrow."
Si Mingjing replied, "Don’t rush back. You’re not exactly footloose and fancy-free. I can manage on my own. I plan to go to Shendu tomorrow to assist with the specific prevention and control measures there. I have experience I can share with the doctors."
Mo Yinhe wouldn’t hear of it. "Wait for me! We’ll go together!" he insisted before boarding the aircraft and setting off for Yecheng.
The saucer-shaped aircraft arrived at Yecheng just as the sun was rising. Young Ye Jingzhe pressed his face to the window, silently admiring the dawn.
Mo Yinhe sat beside him, pointing to the island below. "That’s Yecheng. Your grandparents are at home waiting to have breakfast with you."
"Dad, will Grandpa and Grandma like me?"
Ye Jingzhe, the Little Bingshan, suddenly grew nervous. He knew he wasn’t as endearing as the boisterous Gu Shurong. He wasn’t talkative or one to act cute, and he didn’t quite know how to win his grandparents’ affection. It seemed all his younger siblings were more naturally charming.
"Nonsense," Mo Yinhe ruffled his son’s small head. "Don’t be nervous. Once we’re home, you’ll see."
The aircraft soon landed on the palace’s landing pad.
Ye Xinguang and Ye Junqing had already received word and had risen before dawn. They were now standing on the landing pad.
Ye Xinguang glanced at her husband and suddenly said with a stern face, "Smile a little. Don’t look so fierce!"
Ye Junqing felt more wronged than Dou E. "When am I ever fierce?" he protested.
"You just naturally look fierce!"
It’s an original sin!
Ye Junqing touched his face. He was nearly fifty this year, but as a vampire, time had left few traces on him. Vampires could live for over a hundred years without showing much age. Indeed, Ye Junqing looked quite young, no more than forty at most.
Ye Xinguang also looked very young, appearing to be around thirty. As a Mermaid, time had left similarly few marks on her. Coupled with her diligent skincare regimen, when she stood beside Ye Siyuan, they looked more like sisters than mother and daughter.
Although they both appeared young, they were a long-married couple. When Ye Xinguang chided her husband, she didn’t pull any punches. "The first time I met you, I thought you were incredibly fierce! First impressions are crucial, you know. The first impression you left on me is a scar on my heart that I can never erase."
Ye Junqing: "!!!!!!!!"
He didn’t know where to direct his frustration!
Ye Junqing retorted defensively, "How was I fierce when we first met? I was swimming in the sea, ambushed by a school of sharks! I was just a youth then, obviously terrified. Who would I have been fierce to? The sharks? You rushed in like a little fairy, grabbed my hand, and pulled me away. My eyes were filled with nothing but gratitude. How could I possibly have been fierce towards you, let alone leave you with a lifelong, indelible scar?"
