Chapter 1048 “Wild Ambition (1)”

Moved to the point of showing tears in the corner of those eyes, the little boy wanted to say something more to show his gratitude when he suddenly remembered their own predicament. Hurrying to cry out: “But those people are very powerful, you need to leave and not worry about me….”

“No, my mother said it before that a man must know how to repay a debt. Little Leopard, you helped me before so I must save you.” In a forceful tug, Bai Xiachen didn’t give any room for refusal and pulled the other boy along with him towards the doorway. “Little Leopard, follow me closely from this point forward, I will take you away to safety.”

When Bai Xiachen reached the doorway, his steps gradually slowed to a tip toeing pace for fear of disturbing anyone that might still be outside. However, his prudence was for naught because when he tried to push at the door to make a crack for peeking, he immediately discovered there’s a chain locked around the knobs.

Understanding the problem, he inhales deeply and musters up a force around the fingers. This time around when he made a push, the power he summoned instantly snapped the metallic chains on the other side. “Okay, we’re good now. Come Little Leopard, we need to leave this place.”

Scurrying about from one point to the other, the pair were able to make great progress in this dark place due to Bai Xiachen’s exceptional memory. When he was being brought to the altar room, the little steambun made sure to memorize the directions so this was just him recollecting his previous steps.

“Who is it?” Just then, a petite voice suddenly came from the rear and causes the leopard boy to fall into panic on that cute little face.

“Don’t be afraid, I said I’ll protect you.” Patting his friend’s shoulder, the little steambun promises with an air of assurance.

Perhaps it’s the way he spoke, or just the way he acted, but it did manage to calm the frightened boy’s heart.

Turning around, Bai Xiachen confronts the group that has caught them from behind. It’s a bunch of ladies, all scantily dressed with barely any clothing covering their body parts aside from the crucial two parts. They were all eyeing the two boys with sharp looks like they’re very unhappy right now.

“We’re only passing through, can you beautiful sisters let us pass?” All bright and innocent, Bai Xiachen does his usual talk of persuasion.

Under normal circumstances, this effort to charm the female sex would’ve worked without problem, however, this was the Sky Clan!

“These boys, weren’t they the ones brought back by Lady Mei Ling before?” One of the maids apparently recognizes the two and pointed this out.

“If I remember right, Lady Mei Ling should’ve fed them some sleeping drug, how did they wake up so early? No matter, they’re caught now so they can forget about escaping. No one runs from our Sky Clan!” That said, the group of ladies promptly charged with their blades drawn.

Beaming with a sharp light at the open hostility, Bai Xiachen rapidly pushes his friend further back to make some space: “Do you think I would be afraid of you people when I’m the prince? I will protect Mother in the future so you’re nothing to me!”
