Chapter 317: My dear mother

Situ Mu Yan stiffened when he heard her words, for two seconds he thought that she was calling him a monster but that was until he dropped his head and looked at the girl who was trembling against his body. 

"What do you mean by monster? Is something chasing after you?" He carefully looked in the direction in which Yin Zhu was looking earlier but he did not see anything, in fact, he did not even sense the presence of a living being much less a monster, seeing that there was nothing he could not help but tease Yin Zhu a little. " I am not really surprised that you are being chased by something, who asked you to run away. You might have caught the attention of something that was lurking in the dark."

" Please do not joke about such things," Yin Zhu had always been scared of the dark, it most probably had to do with her mother's abandonment and the memories she lost along with her mother who once left and never came back. " This is not funny."
