Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 782 - 781: A Night Like a Nightmare

Feng Bailing looked at Dugu Xiaojin, her voice sounding somewhat icy amidst the night.

"Don’t call me Queen Mother."

Dugu Xiaojin trembled, his excitement upon seeing Feng Bailing instantly died, and the light in his eyes swiftly dimmed.

His hand clenched into a fist, and he bitterly smiled in his heart.

"Indeed, father and the Queen Mother have divorced, and she is no longer my mother, nor does she wish me to call her that."

"I’m sorry."

Dugu Xiaojin’s voice was as low as a mosquito’s, and he lowered his head.

Unexpectedly, a hand landed on his head and ruffled Dugu Xiaojin’s hair.

Feng Bailing squatted down and said softly.

"Call me mother."

Dugu Xiaojin suddenly looked up, gazing at Feng Bailing with surprise and joy.

"Xiaojin, just like Xiao Li, you are my child. You are born to me, you are my son."

Feng Bailing took a deep breath and slowly uttered these words.

These few simple words felt incredibly difficult for Feng Bailing to say.

Feng Bailing had always wanted to find the opportunity to reveal the truth to Dugu Xiaojin, but she didn’t know how to start.

But having witnessed countless displaced children and their families along the way, she didn’t know if she would still be alive after the war; she didn’t want to leave this world with regrets concerning her children.

She was determined to tell Xiaojin that she was his mother and wanted to hear him call her mother.

Dugu Xiaojin was stunned too.

Until Feng Xiaoli cheered beside him.

"Brother Xiaojin, you are my real elder brother."

"You are Xiaojin’s mother?"

Dugu Xiaojin looked at Feng Bailing, her gaze made him believe that everything he heard was true.

He had always wondered about his mother’s appearance, but since meeting Feng Bailing, the image of his mother in his mind had morphed into Feng Bailing; he never thought that Feng Bailing was truly his mother.

"Xiaojin, I should have realized sooner, found you sooner. It’s entirely my fault that I lost you back then."

After revealing the truth, Feng Bailing couldn’t help but her eyes well up with tears.

Looking around, she realized that Dugu Xiaojin was indeed alone.

Her eyebrows quickly knitted together, and she muttered in her heart.

"What’s with Dugu Wu, that guy? Even though Dugu Xiaojin is sensible, he is still just a child; and to let a child run around in the middle of the night, especially now with chaos everywhere, even if Xiaojin is brave and clever, he shouldn’t be allowed to run wild."

"Where is your irresponsible father?"

Feng Bailing spoke irritably.

"Mother, don’t blame father; he and Nalan... he must have his reasons. It’s like he’s been looking for you all along, I mean he didn’t know you are my mother."

Dugu Xiaojin scratched his head, finding his father’s behavior odd lately; they had been to many places with Nalan Yan’er since leaving Chu City.

A couple of days before, with a terrible complexion, his father had told him that he would be leaving for a while and instructed him to follow Lu Yin closely.

Coincidentally, when Lu Yin went to Guhong City, Dugu Xiaojin accidentally learned of news that Chu City might be under attack. Worried about Feng Xiaoli and Feng Bailing, he quietly slipped away.

Upon hearing that Dugu Wu was still with Nalan Yan’er, Feng Bailing’s expression grew even darker.

"Xiaojin, you don’t need to worry about adult matters."

Feng Bailing couldn’t care less about revealing her identity to Dugu Wu, nor what was going with him and Nalan Yan’er.

Dugu Wu hadn’t even noticed that Xiao Li was his daughter, just as he had been kept in the dark his whole life.

Feng Bailing cursed Dugu Wu viciously in her heart.

From afar came the roar of beasts.

Feng Bailing, on alert, picked up Feng Xiaoli and, holding Dugu Xiaojin’s hand, walked towards the direction where the horse carriage was stationed.

"This area is very dangerous. You two mustn’t run around, especially you, Xiao Li. Don’t think you’re invincible with the Buddhist Alms Bowl in hand; be careful of being caught by that villain Xiao Junci."

Feng Bailing scolded the two children.

"Queen Mother, you know very well how dangerous the situation is, yet you still wander around on your own."

Feng Xiaoli spoke cleverly; she had snuck out in the middle of the night, and her mother had quickly discovered it, even though they weren’t in the same horse carriage. It was clear that the Queen Mother must have been wandering around.

"Mother, Xiaoli and I aren’t ordinary children; we can be helpful. The Beiqi Army has many Beast Armies, doesn’t it? If we could control them, maybe we could turn the tables on the Beiqi Army."

Dugu Xiaojin swung his fist.

He carried the blood of the Great Chu Royal Family, and although he didn’t like Emperor Yongye, he knew that the Emperor was his grandfather, and he would definitely not let the people of Great Chu suffer.

On the way here, Dugu Xiaojin secretly hurried and saw many displaced people, many children about his age dying on the streets, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Feng Bailing stopped in her tracks.

"Xiaojin, are you saying you can control Beiqi’s Beast Army? But Beiqi’s Beast Army is not ordinary these days. Xiao Junci has tamed the Tiger Army, and they have Sound Worms inside them. He might be using these Sound Worms to control the tigers."

Feng Bailing paused, then seemed to think of something.

She glanced at her daughter and then at her son, and decided not to return to the horse carriage just yet. She put on her fur coat and led Dugu Xiaojin towards the Beiqi camp.

After walking for about half an hour, they approached the Beiqi Army camp.

Just as Wu Zhenzhen and Wu Wanwan had said before, the Beiqi Army was now made up of Beiqi troops and allied forces, with soldiers as well as part of the Beast Army.

These Beast Armies included the incorporated Tiger Army and other fierce beasts. Such an army of beasts patrolled and intimidated around the army’s periphery at night.

They had already entered the range of the Beast Army’s patrol. In order to avoid being discovered by the Beast Army, Feng Bailing used the Wooden Holy Seal inside her to mask their scent with the aura of the surrounding vegetation.

In the darkness of night, the group remained hidden, observing the scene ahead.

In the deep night, screams reached their ears.

"Mother, look!"

Dugu Xiaojin pointed to the front,

where a group of Beiqi’s soldiers were driving a group of defenseless civilians into the Beast Army.

The ravenous Beast Army pounced upon the sight of living people, swallowing them whole.

Dugu Xiaojin quickly covered his sister Feng Xiaoli’s eyes, and exchanged a glance with Feng Bailing.

There was a raging fire in Xiaojin’s eyes.

No wonder, all along the way, Xiao Junci’s Beast Army kept growing because the beasts needed food.

Without enough food as bait, Xiao Junci captured a large number of Great Chu civilians along the way, using them as food to feed the Beast Army, thereby controlling it.

Another troop of soldiers approached, and the man in the lead, even under the dim night sky, exuded an air of deadly seriousness.

Beside him was the charming and coquettish Lady Nan Feng, Xiao Junci.

"Reporting to the Regent King, we fed three hundred Great Chu civilians tonight."

Upon Xiao Junci’s arrival, a man who looked like a general stepped forward.

Xiao Junci’s expression was also somewhat grave; although he was ruthless in killing, the consumption of so many civilians at once was not without difficulty. But to control this batch of Beast Army along the way, he had to keep putting in prisoners from Great Chu, after all, Nan Feng still hadn’t found the whereabouts of that Jade Whistle.
