Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 699 - 698: He, Su Ji, is the Lone Wolf
Chapter 699: Chapter 698: He, Su Ji, is the Lone Wolf
If one were to ask the subjects of the Demon Clan to speak truthfully and to give their thoughts on their Demon Emperor, it’s likely that each subject would say, "Our Demon Emperor is a self-important Demon."
How could it come to pass that he has not a single son, if not for the Demon Emperor’s self-importance, believing that those around him dare not defy him?
He didn’t believe that the Crown Prince had the courage to usurp him, which enabled all of this to happen.
Even so, the Demon Emperor never considered his excessive pride to be a flaw. After all, even though the Crown Prince’s plan to leave him sonless was successful, wasn’t the Crown Prince eventually killed by him?
Because of this, the Demon Emperor believes that his imperial authority is unshakably secure; he feels that no one dares to challenge his authority again.
An emperor who can personally kill his own biological son—who would dare to play any tricks?
After hearing the Noble Consort recount the Demon Emperor’s past deeds, Mianmian blinked and said, "That Demon Emperor is really awful, not protecting his children and even killing them."
With a cold laugh, the Noble Consort responded, "Isn’t that so?"
She turned to Su Ji, "And you? Do you have any thoughts?"
Su Ji straightforwardly remarked, "I also think he’s awful."
The Noble Consort showed a smile and pinched a grape to pop into Mianmian’s mouth, "Yes, I also think he’s very bad. Such an evil person is not fit to be the Demon Emperor anymore."
Su Ji understood the deeper implication of her words, and couldn’t help but feel a chill down his back.
No matter what, the Demon Emperor discussed is a close blood relative of his.
Seeing the unease on Su Ji’s face, the Noble Consort smiled and said, "You’re nothing like your imperial grandfather, but rather quite like your daddy. Indecisive and weak-willed. However, our Mianmian is good and determined about what she wants to do and smart enough to know what should and should not be done."
Mianmian was savoring the delicious grape, its unchewed form ballooning against her cheek, making her baby-fat rounded face seem even more plump.
Upon receiving the Noble Consort’s praise, she didn’t swallow the grape but spoke with it in her mouth, "Mianmian is very good and smart. Daddy and Mommy always praise Mianmian too, hehe."
She didn’t think there was anything inappropriate about what she said.
Seeing the intimacy between Mianmian and the Noble Consort, Su Ji also muttered, "My parents also often praise me for being smart, they’re not just your parents praising you."
He felt somewhat resentful inside. Why was Mianmian so favored by the Noble Consort? Not just the Noble Consort, but other consorts in the Palace seemed to like Mianmian a lot too.
And him?
The Demon Emperor, his grandfather, didn’t truly care about him. Hei Ling, who appeared to be his guard, was really following the Emperor’s orders.
Only he, Su Ji, was truly alone.
As Su Ji battled feelings of loneliness, Mianmian suddenly passed a grape to him, "Don’t be so down, isn’t there always a way to solve things? Have a grape, smile. The pretty sister said. that children are cutest when they smile."
Su Ji ate the grape and stared at Mianmian for a while, then suddenly felt at ease again.
It didn’t matter if the Noble Consort and the other consorts didn’t like him; Mianmian still liked him, otherwise why would she give him a grape?
"Whatever you want to do, whatever you need me to cooperate with, you can just tell me," Su Ji switched to a more rational state for dealing with matters and spoke to the Noble Consort with a serious little face, "Hei Ling is grandfather’s man, you know that, right?"
The Noble Consort smiled faintly, "The only thing I need from you is that you don’t know anything."
As for the rest, she and the Demon Emperor were Demons of the same age—how could they possibly need the help of a little child? Furthermore, she wanted to hear Little Mianmian say, "Pretty sister is so amazing!"
Hearing that his only requirement was to keep quiet, Su Ji was even more speechless.
He decided in his heart that if there was anything he could do to help, he would definitely take action. Then he bid farewell and left under the unfriendly gaze of the Imperial Noble Consort.
Hei Ling saw Su Ji walking out of Mianmian’s residence and greeted him with concern, "Young Prince, why do you look so upset? Did you have a quarrel with Anning Princess?"
Su Ji shook his head, "No quarrel, I was just thinking of my parents."
Hei Ling raised an eyebrow.
He knew that both Su Mianmian and Su Ji had lost their parents. It seemed like the two little fellows were sad again because their parents hadn’t been revived yet, right?
Just now, he was curious and almost couldn’t resist sneaking in to eavesdrop on the conversation between the Imperial Noble Consort and the two children.
Luckily, he didn’t!
No concubine should meet with a man from outside, even with others present, these were the rules set by the Demon Emperor. The Imperial Noble Consort, trapped in the harem for so long, couldn’t possibly have much to talk about with two small children.
Next time, he wouldn’t need to be curious!
After Hei Ling and Su Ji had left, the Imperial Noble Consort handed Mianmian a pill.
Mianmian took the pill and asked curiously, "What is this?"
The Imperial Noble Consort smiled and said, "Your Golden Core is about to shatter and turn into a Nascent Soul. Once a mortal steps into the Nascent Soul stage, things become different. You’ve progressed too quickly, and the Demon Emperor will dread you and send people to guard you closely. By then, our Little Mianmian won’t be as free as now."
Inside and outside the current Sleeping Palace, there were only servant demons around. The Demon Emperor thought Su Mianmian was just a child, and a girl at that, so he didn’t bother to guard against her.
But no matter how careless, with Mianmian becoming a Nascent Soul expert at just over four years old, the Demon Emperor would still pay attention. He might even shatter Mianmian’s Nascent Soul.
The pill she gave was concocted by a sister in the harem. As long as it was consumed, it could conceal cultivation base, and the Lightning Tribulation would not come.
At the same time, the act of giving the pill was also the Imperial Noble Consort testing the Little Bun in front of her.
If Little Bun showed even a hint of hesitation, she would change her opinion of Little Bun a bit.
While the Imperial Noble Consort was thinking this, Mianmian had already swallowed the pill in one bite.
The taste of the pill wasn’t bitter; it even had a bit of sweetness to it.
After finishing it, Mianmian smiled and said, "I wonder which beautiful sister made this, it tastes quite good."
She even smacked her lips and added, "It has the flavor of Osmanthus Cake that Mianmian likes."
Seeing that Mianmian knew what it was and ate it so readily, the Imperial Noble Consort couldn’t help but laugh out loud and wiped Mianmian’s little mouth with a handkerchief, "Aren’t you afraid the beautiful sisters will poison you to death with poison?."
"They wouldn’t." Mianmian cuddled the Imperial Noble Consort’s arm, her big eyes full of sincerity, "At first, the beautiful sisters didn’t like Mianmian much, but after getting to know Mianmian, they liked Mianmian."
"Your embrace, it’s very much like Mianmian’s mommy. You like Mianmian just as you would like your own children."
"A mommy wouldn’t harm her own child."
The Imperial Noble Consort’s smile grew even wider.
After being with the Demon Emperor, they had all fantasized about being of one mind with him. But this kind of mutual understanding was always only during moments of joy in bed; normally, the Demon Emperor truly didn’t care what they thought.
Now, this sense of joy at a spiritual level of mutual understanding was instead obtained from a little child.
