Chapter 1334 – Injured Before?
Lord Little Yan experienced two breakthroughs within a short period.
She used to be only the size of a palm and could be kept within Bai Chen Feng’s robe.
Now, she had reached the height of a ten-year-old child. Her body of down feathers were like living flames, while traces of dark golden down feathers could be seen extending out of her head. Although her tail feathers have only just started to grow, one could see the rainbow colours so brilliant that it was hard for one to stare at it.
Lord Little Yan expressed satisfaction at her progress. This new underling was not only diligent but also silent and detailed. The carrot would have prepared for things in order every time before she noticed.
As time went by, this made Lord Little Yan feel more and more rea.s.suring.
Bai Chen Feng has been leaving early and returning late, focusing on dealing with the demons. He noticed that Lord Little Yan was looking exceptionally well. At the same time, her feathers were l.u.s.trous and healthy, even breaking through twice.
This made him feel that the Carrot Demon truly has some skills despite his bland appearance, and it seems like he was serving Lord Little Yan genuinely.
This causes him to relax his vigilance slightly as well.
Lord Little Yan’s daily needs were also slowly taken over by the Carrot Demon. From preparing what to eat daily, to cultivation routine, even bathing and cleaning up, were all handled by the Carrot Demon personally.
Lord Little Yan initially disliked getting close to demons, Bai Chen Feng was a special exception as he has been by her side since she was an egg.
Yet she noticed one day that she had gotten used to the Carrot Demon being near.
This was not surprising. Every afternoon, Lord Little Yan would lazily lay under the sun and allow the Carrot Demon to comb her feathers. His technique was extraordinarily gentle and so relaxing that she did not want to move her wings at all.
The Carrot Demon Qing Luo was always silent, even in front of Lord Little Yan. Usually, not even ten sentences would be spoken in a day, everyone had long gotten used to his silent behaviour.
Currently, he was using eighteen carrot roots to slowly comb through Lord Little Yan’s feathers, that was when he noticed something.
Due to her small size previously, it was not noticeable. Now that she was as tall as a teenager, it was revealed.
There was a bare spot on her back that even her crimson feathers were unable to hide. It was an ugly scar that caved in like a bowl.
From that scar, one can guess that Lord Little Yan had once suffered grievous injuries, near-lethal.
The carrot roots trembled as it moved past the area around the scar. Only after a long while did the Carrot Demon spoke with a gloomy voice: “Lord Little Yan, where did this scar on your back come from? Were you injured before?”
Lord Little Yan Was feeling weird since Little Qing had initiated a conversation. However, she did not think it was a secret that she cannot reply, so she calmly said: “I cannot remember, maybe a birthmark? Maybe I suffered a severe injury in my previous life, one that even the rebirth cannot heal. Serving as a reminder for this lord in this life, I guess!”
The Carrot Demon remained silent and stopped speaking. However, his breathing seems to have become slightly uneven.
Lord Little Yan casually flipped her body and hid the scar. She used a wing to shade her eyes as she looked at the sky: “It is about time, go make some food!”
The Carrot Demon replied dully and left.
When Lord Little Yan was left, she waved a wing and created two mirrors. The mirrors aligned and allowed her to see the severe scarring for a moment before she kept them away. She returned to lying down lazily with her claws raised, waiting for the delicious food to arrive.
The Carrot Demon and Lord Little Yan no longer spoke about that matter from that day onwards, it felt as though that day had not happened.
