408 To protect him
Zhiyuan's eyes widened in disbelief while Marlene's face turned gloomy at the thought of Mo Yao Wang being proud of his grandson's actions kidnapping the witch queen.??Nonetheless, both of them wore a complicated expressions on their faces. Disappointment about Mo Yao Wang's shamelessness and grief for loosing Xiao XiRan.??Before they can even asked though, Mo Yao Wang asked again, "You haven't answered my question Queen Marlene. Where's my great grandson?" His voice became impatient.??Marlene's face turned black as her thoughts are going wild, 'This stupid old demon! Is he planning to kidnap my son?!' she squinted at Mo Yao Wang before looking at Zhiyuan.??Narrowing her eyes at him as she remembered asking him to look after her child. Marlene can't help but to knock Zhiyuan on his head that he almost stumbled on the floor.??Zhiyuan: "..." Why does everyone hate me?! YuYan, save me!??"Ouch! Hey! That hurts!" Zhiyuan complained, rubbing his head with a teary eye looking like a pitiful cat. But Marlene intent stare at him remained, is enough to kill him.??Zhiyuan: "..." How did she become my best friend again???Zhiyuan touched his nose in guilt. 'Blame this old demon, not me! If he didn't ask to hunt that brat, this won't happen!' His kept complaining in his thoughts but cannot voice it out.??Thinking about his best friend's feelings, Zhiyuan can't blame Marlene to be mad at him. After all, he should be taking care of her son, but he has no choice, there's a threat from the old man.??He looked straight at Mo Yao Wang and answered. "He is with Zhou Tanya at Zhou mansion." His voice is faint, worried that Marlene will hit him again.??Mo Yao Wang nodded his head. "Ask her to send the little one to stay with me." he looked at Marlene and claimed. "You are a witch, you must know my grandson has a Xuè mó's blood."??Watching Marlene looking back at him after rolling her eyes at Zhiyuan. She nodded and Mo Yao Wang seriously said. "You wouldn't mind if I were to protect him, would you?"??Marlene hesitated. As a witch, she is considered as a mortal, but Xiao XiRan has a demon blood, which means their child is a Hùnxiě, a forbidden mixed of blood.??The prohibition of mix blood is something that even the demon king or her as a witch queen cannot easily defy. It was one of the regulations made for all of the six worlds to keep the balance in life preventing any threats.Despite this, it cannot hide the truth that there are some who would still violate the regulation of the living. They can only hide from Hùnxiě hunters because of the consequences.?Hùnxiě hunters are chosen by heavens to make sure the prohibition will be served faithfully. They have the power to execute the sanction to anyone who fails to comply.?The lightest punishment would be for the mixed blood to be killed, but once it is repeated under the same family, it will annihilate their blood line.?Not unless of course, those mixed blood children are given a mark of life. It is a something that only the Hùnxiě hunters knew what it is or how it looked like, a gift from heavens is what they called it.?As a mother who wanted her child to be safe from the Hùnxiě hunters who were just doing their job, Marlene had to take a deep, calming breath.?With a heavy heart, she can only nod in agreement to Mo Yao Wang's offer. Her son cannot stay in medieval land. Besides, Xi'an is a boy, turning two years old soon which is a prohibition of the witch laws.Mo Yao Wang nodded in delight that Marlene would entrust his great grandchild to him to take care of. As he watched Zhiyuan and Marlene who seemed like they wanted to ask something, he furrowed his brows.
