Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 569: The Real and Fake "Crown Prince

Chapter 569: Chapter 569: The Real and Fake "Crown Prince

Nalan Yan’er and Dongfang Jin, mother and son, fled desperately together. By now, both were hungry and thirsty, yet they dared not look back, fearing that if they slowed down even a bit, Xiao Junci, the Unlucky Star, would chase them down and kill them.

After an unknown span of time, Dongfang Jin finally couldn’t take it anymore and collapsed to the ground.

He was still a child after all, having been pampered all his life, and his face showed utter exhaustion as he spoke with a trembling voice.

"Queen Mother, I can’t run anymore."

Nalan Yan’er, who was usually so different, now looked dirty and unkempt, gasping for breath.

Although she was a Wenhua Seal powerhouse, Xiao Junci’s strength was too overwhelming, and her Blessing Technique couldn’t interfere with him at all.

The mother and son had not had water or food for a whole day and were now completely exhausted. She looked back with terror, making sure Xiao Junci was not following, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

She hugged Dongfang Jin, her heart filled with both grief and anger.

"It’s all that woman, Feng Bailing’s fault. Had she not driven us away, how could we mother and son be so miserable?"

Dongfang Jin’s lips parted as he wanted to say,

"Queen Mother, how can we blame Princess Consort Wu? We were the ones who betrayed her first. If anyone to be blamed, it’s that madman Xiao Junci.

Xiao Junci promised not to touch Great Chu Team B, so Great Chu Team A was the one that suffered misfortune.

Since the morning of the second day, he started chasing us down, mother and son. He didn’t pursue us relentlessly, capturing us just to let us escape repeatedly, causing both physical and mental torment all along the way.

"It must be that woman Feng Bailing who said something to Xiao Junci, causing him to turn against us. This kind of torture and pursuit should have been reserved for Feng Bailing and her son."

Nalan Yan’er imagined how Feng Bailing and her son must be beside a campfire right now, with clean water and food, nothing like their dire situation, starving and freezing.

A trace of resentment flashed in Nalan Yan’er’s eyes, and due to the starvation and cold, the Wenhua Seal on her forehead had become dim and lusterless. Nalan Yan’er raised her head to look at the scorching sun at the zenith, her heart burning with anxiety.

If this went on, she and her son might die in the Red Scorpion Desert.

Suddenly, there was a rolling of sand and stones in front of them. Nalan Yan’er and Dongfang Jin, mother and son, were already at the end of their strength when they saw a group of red scorpions emerging from beneath the sand.

"Queen Mother, run!"

Dongfang Jin pulled Nalan Yan’er up to flee, but they had only run a few steps when they saw the ground in front of them swirling with flying sand and stones.

The ground trembled, and a Red Scorpion Queen as big as a calf burrowed out.

It was the Red Scorpion Immortal Queen!

Nalan Yan’er and Dongfang Jin couldn’t help but feel weak in the knees, and it was then that the mother and son realized that in their frantic flight from Xiao Junci, they had inadvertently blundered into a Red Scorpion Nest.

The vast number of red scorpions, along with the Red Scorpion Queen, utterly shattered the spirits of Nalan Yan’er and her son.

"My poor Jinjin, it’s Feng Bailing who has doomed us, mother and son. If it weren’t for her, Dugu wouldn’t have abandoned us. With him by our side, he would have surely protected us thoroughly. If we die here today, we won’t let Feng Bailing off even as ghosts."

Nalan Yan’er held her son, her eyes filled with despair.

Swoosh—

Just as the Red Scorpion Queen lunged to attack, a cold Wen Energy surged through the air.

That Wen Energy was like an arrow speeding through the sky, striking the Red Scorpion Queen right between her brows.

The Red Scorpion Queen let out an angry shriek as a chip under its forehead was shattered.

That streak of Wen Energy instantly penetrated into its forehead.

In the next instant, the ferociously dangerous Red Scorpion Queen collapsed to the ground, motionless, like a loyal hunting dog.

The surrounding red scorpions of various sizes crowded densely and also submitted, lying on the ground.

The scene unfolding before their eyes left Nalan Yan’er and her son stunned.

On the back of the Red Scorpion Queen, there was now an additional person.

Nalan Yan’er looked up and saw Dongfang Yu standing on the back of the Red Scorpion Queen. Overjoyed at the sight of Dongfang Yu, Nalan Yan’er exclaimed,

"Crown Prince!"

"Father."

However, the man’s expression was icy cold, and those enchantingly bewitching eyes slightly lifted.

Dongfang Jin had just stepped forward a few paces when he was immobilized by the other’s cold gaze.

Nalan Yan’er also felt something off about Dongfang Yu before her and thought of the Wen Energy attack from earlier.

Dongfang Yu leaped down from the Red Scorpion Queen’s back, who didn’t dare to make a move.

"You are not the Crown Prince."

It was then that Nalan Yan’er came to her senses, realizing that the man in front of her was not Crown Prince Dongfang Yu.

Dongfang Yu was a martial artist; he would not use Wen Energy.

Then they saw "Dongfang Yu" wiping his face, peeling off a human skin mask as thin as cicada wings.

Upon seeing the true face of the newcomer, Dongfang Jin involuntarily tensed up and quickly hid behind Nalan Yan’er.

Unaware of her son’s frightened demeanor, Nalan Yan’er’s face lit up with joy and she stepped forward to greet him.

"Wushang, it’s you. It’s good that you are here."

Seeing Hua Wushang, Nalan Yan’er’s heart, which had been in suspense for days, finally settled down.

Looking at the docile behavior of the Red Scorpion Queen on the ground, the horror in Nalan Yan’er’s eyes turned to ecstatic joy.

Nalan Yan’er welcomed Hua Wushang more than her husband Dongfang Yu, well aware that with Dongfang Yu’s strength, even if he entered the Red Scorpion Desert, he could not be of much help to them.

But Hua Wushang was different; with his meticulous mind and formidable strength, the fact that he had secretly replaced Dongfang Yu and entered the Red Scorpion Desert was already a feat beyond Dongfang Yu’s capabilities.

With Hua Wushang here, Nalan Yan’er felt she no longer needed to fear Xiao Junci or Feng Bailing; she was determined to have her way.

"What happened to you to end up like this?"

Hua Wushang sized up the mother and son; he had only been slightly delayed, and they had been reduced to this state. If he had arrived any later...

Nalan Yan’er bitterly recounted the whole story to Hua Wushang.

"Xiao Junci’s man was poisoned by Red Scorpion Poison, and under duress, he agreed to Feng Bailing’s terms to spare Great Chu Team B."

Hearing this, a strange light flashed through Hua Wushang’s eyes.

He had long heard about Feng Bailing’s strategies, but he hadn’t expected that in the Red Scorpion Desert when facing a tough figure like Xiao Junci, she could still turn the tide.

Compared to her, Nalan Yan’er was far smarter than Feng Bailing.

A woman who has not yet condensed both the Wenhua Seal and Wuji Seal—if one day she does...

Her future would be boundless... Hua Wushang pondered thoughtfully.

"Xiao Junci spared the people of Great Chu Team B, which implies he certainly will not spare those of Great Chu Team A. Aside from you two, the lives of the others are more likely to be ill-fated than not." However, the lives of the others in Great Chu Team A did not matter to Hua Wushang.

All he needed to do was to protect the lives of Nalan Yan’er and Dongfang Jin. After all, this mother and son were still very useful to him.
