“Yun Ran, are you alright? Why did you suddenly fall into the river?”
Xuanyuan Yu looked anxious.
Bai Wan also sized her up nervously. After confirming that she did not have any external injuries and was not in a sorry state, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Yun Ran knew that everyone was worried about her and smiled warmly. “I’m fine. I just slipped.’
Because there were a few children present, Yun Ran did not tell them about her experience of being grabbed by the demonic cultivator and pulled off. She did not want to scare the children.
The little packrat blinked her big black eyes and kept waving her little hands.
She said seriously, “Mother, you have to be careful in the future. Hold
Sweetcake’s hand, okay?”
“Okay, I’ll hold your hand in the future so that I won’t fall.”
After Yun Ran coaxed the little packrat to sleep, she saw that Bai Wan and Xuanyuan Yu were still outside. She knew that the two of them did not believe her words just now.
Before they could ask, she told them about his encounter with the demonic cultivator.
“MO Beiyuan and I were setting up a river lamp by the river when a wretched thing suddenly appeared from the river and pulled me into the river. When I struggled to break free again, I realized that I was already outside the Imperial City. MO Beiyuan said that there was a barrier set up by a demonic cultivator at the bottom of the river. The person who pulled me into the water should be a demonic cultivator. That’s all the information I have for now.”
“Demonic cultivator?”
Upon hearing this word, Bai Wan and Xuanyuan Yu’s expressions changed.
“Recently, the demonic cultivators have become more and more arrogant!” Xuanyuan Yu gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
He already hated the demonic cultivators who killed without batting an eyelid in the five countries. Now that he heard what happened to Yun Ran, he was even angrier.
Bai Wan was a little calmer than him. Her dark eyes were deep in thought.
“What about MO Beiyuan? Did his people find anything?” On the other hand, Yun Ran was quite ambitious.
She didn’t take what happened tonight seriously at all.
“I don’t know. I’ll ask him when he gets back.”
However, Yun Ran waited all night.
This was because Mo Beiyuan had brought people to the forest she had mentioned previously. He had mobilized the people of the 12 Divisions and sealed the entire forest. From the looks of it, he would not stop until he captured the demonic cultivator.
Yun Ran also learned from the secret guards that this was not the first time the demonic cultivator had hidden in the river to harm people.
Over the years, there had been many missing girls in that river. In the end, not even a corpse had been found.
That was how the legend of the river ghost came about.
Yun Ran stayed in the residence and planned to go to the scene during the day.
Unexpectedly, her Sweetcake was frightened by her falling into the water yesterday and insisted on going out with her. Yun Ran could only bring her along.
The mother and daughter met MO Beiyuan in the forest. The little packrat saw her father from afar and ran over. She hugged MO Beiyuan’s leg and wheedled passionately.
MO Beiyuan bent down and picked her up. The hostility in his eyes dissipated, and even the corners of his thin mouth revealed gentleness.
Yun Ran nodded at him and explained her intentions. “I had nothing to do in the residence, so I came to take a look.”
“Yes, Sweetcake also wants to come and see Daddy. She misses Daddy as much as Mommy! ”
The little packrat thought that Yun Ran was here to see him and nodded her head in a childish voice.
Yun Ran was speechless.
When did she say that?
Most importantly, her little packrat did not notice how awkwvard her mother was at this moment. She even asked in a childish voice, “Then did Daddy miss Sweetcake and Mommy?”
Yun Ran thought that he would not answer such a boring question, but she did not expect his eyes to darken as he looked at her. He said hoarsely, “I do..”
