Dressed as Snow White's Stepmother

Payne was a little distressed. After all, Bai Xue had just reunited with him, and she picked up another child.Bai Xue's age is still in the rebellious stage, which is simply a crisis of a second child.

Unexpectedly, Bai Xue did not have any dissatisfaction, and instead expressed friendliness to Kelan during dinner.

Bai Xue smiled gently, asked about Kelan's age and place of origin, and ordered the maids to prepare Kelan's hometown taste for breakfast tomorrow.

Sure enough, Kelan was moved and thanked Payne and Bai Xue for their approachability.

After dinner, Kelan showed a sleepy expression.Thinking of what he had experienced that day, Payne asked the maids to take him to rest.Before falling asleep, Payne read him a story book, and then left quietly after he fell asleep.

Before leaving, Payne put a mirror in the corner while no one was paying attention.

After returning to the bedroom, Payne and the magic mirror expressed their concerns: "The timing is too coincidental..." Payne frowned, he had already ordered the maid to call Bai Xue and Percy over, " Just before I go back to the palace, and it’s still on my way back.”

The magic mirror also said that it is indeed a little subtle, no matter whether it is earlier or later, he will not meet Payne who just returns to the palace.But that small alley is a place rarely visited by people.

"I'll try to check as much as possible. If he's okay, everything will be fine. If he makes any moves, we won't let him go lightly." The magic mirror promised himself to monitor as closely as possible.

Bai Xue knocked on the door and came in at this time, the magic mirror stopped talking, after all Percy didn't know its identity yet.

Payne went to open the door, but Bai Xue was the only one there: "Where's Percy?" Payne was a little puzzled.

"Uncle Percy went to investigate the scene at that time. He was afraid of missing any clues, so he went to ask the doctor who rescued the woman at that time." Bai Xue explained, "We don't trust others, and we don't know what other powers Busell has. For the remainder, it’s better to be at ease on your own.”

Seeing that Percy didn't come, the magic mirror also relaxed: "Come in, I'll show you Kelan's situation."

Seeing the magic mirror talking, Bai Xue remembered the agreement she had made with Payne, and smiled and greeted the magic mirror: "Hello, Uncle Magic Mirror, I'm Bai Xue, long time no see. Thank you for your care and help to the queen. I will do my best to accommodate any request.”

The magic mirror tutted at Payne: "Look how often your child is troublesome, and then look at you, you and I usually know how to quarrel."

Payne rolled his eyes: "Come on, Bai Xue is good to everyone. He is so polite to you for my sake, and even if you haven't helped me, he is still kind to you." Then he hurriedly greeted Bai Xue, "Come here, I'll give you a cushion."

After receiving the cushion, Bai Xue and Payne sat on the ground side by side, leaning against the bed.After the magic mirror's body fluctuated for a while, the scene of Crane's bedroom appeared in front of their eyes.

After Payne left, Crane didn't seem to fall asleep.He got up and sat by the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky.The moonlight shone on his face, making Kelan's expressionless face a bit cold.But Payne found that his eyes were red, and there were tears in his eyes.

Kelan wept silently, and then wiped it with his sleeve occasionally, and soon the cuff was wet.

Seeing this, Payne lowered his vigilance towards Klan a bit.It would be shocking if he really fell asleep peacefully.

Bai Xue suddenly hugged Payne, startling him. "At the beginning, I missed my mother too..." Bai Xue whispered in Payne's ear.

"In the dwarf country, Uncle Percy doesn't let me go to the forest during the day, so I can only sneak out at night." Bai Xue pursed her mouth, "Every time I see the moon, I always think, what the queen mother and I saw If it's a moon, you'll be happier."

Payne's heart was about to break after hearing Bai Xue's words, so he quickly touched and hugged her.Then I thought that because I was bored at night, apart from sleeping soundly, I just quietly watched movies with the magic mirror and did not watch the moon at all.

"The queen mother also often looks at the moon, and wishes to it that my Baixue will grow up healthily." Payne said sweetly.

At this time, the magic mirror was too embarrassed to expose him, so he closed the microphone obediently, and installed a real mirror beside him.

Satisfied, Bai Xue, who had successfully turned the Queen's attention back to herself, made a request to Payne, saying that she missed her Queen so much, and could she sleep with her tonight.

Just as Payne was about to refuse, he thought of Crane's miserable situation just now.It was hard to refuse anything, so he sent Bai Xue to get his pajamas.

Bai Xue didn't go, saying that she wanted to wear Payne's, and then said that she had already taken a bath.When Payne was not paying attention, he jumped onto the bed, and then got a head out of the quilt: "Mom, come later!"

Looking at Bai Xuezhuan's messy curly hair under the quilt, and flushed cheeks from excitement.He simply lifted the quilt and lay down beside Bai Xue.

"Don't grind your teeth, don't snore, don't kick me in the middle of the night." Payne warned Bai Xue.

Bai Xue hid half of her face in the quilt, nodded frantically, and wrapped her arms around Payne's waist in the next second: "I'm so happy, mother, it's the first time I slept with my mother..."

Payne: "..." That's all, just a little kid who lacks love.

He took Bai Xue's hand off his body: "I don't like people touching me when I sleep, you sleep well, maybe you can be with me next time, if you don't behave this time, there will be no next time."

Hearing this, Baixue lay down immediately, and then smiled sweetly at Payne: "Good night, Queen Mother."

"Good night." Payne tucked the blanket for Bai Xue and fell asleep.After a day of tossing around during the day, he was also very tired.

Suddenly in a daze, Payne felt something touch him.He opened his eyes slightly, and found that Bai Xue was slowly rubbing over.

After feeling it carefully, Bai Xue's fingertips were touching the back of his hand indistinctly.Then he turned his head and saw that the corners of Bai Xue's mouth were slightly upturned, as if with a satisfied smile.

Alas... Payne feels a little more pity in his heart.He moved his hand so that the back of his hand touched Bai Xue's.

Feeling the warmth of her hand, Bai Xue opened her eyes.Payne smiled: "Stop pretending to be asleep?" His voice carried a hint of laziness and hoarseness in a half-dream and half-awake state.

Bai Xue blushed all of a sudden, faltering.Payne smoothed his curly hair: "I'm not angry, if you want to come and sleep with me in the future, just come here." He nodded between Bai Xue's eyebrows, "What's there to be embarrassed about with the queen mother, go to sleep."

With Payne's promise, Bai Xue was also happy, and he burst into a bright smile: "Yeah!" Satisfied, he fell asleep with Payne hand in hand.

The magic mirror who watched the whole process of Bai Xue acting like a baby:......

He thought about Payne who usually scolded him, and Payne who was kind to Baixue.He began to seriously consider, if he also treats Payne, what is the probability of being treated gently by Payne.

When he got up the next day, Payne touched his side, and there was only a slight depression beside him.Bai Xue had already quietly left to deal with government affairs, while Payne slept until dawn as usual.

When the maids came in to serve Payne, the magic mirror at the side suddenly spoke: "Pain, for so many years...Only you treat me as a friend."

Payne, who was trying to tighten his waist, was taken aback by the magic mirror's sticky tone: "What are you doing?"

The magic mirror continued to sigh: "Ah, you are like a clear spring in the desert, a ray of warm sun in the winter. It is you who have allowed me to receive love from human beings in my long life... I have never seen it before. Some people do this to me and they all see me as a horrible monster.."

Payne:  …

"Did you fall into some kind of black magic?" Payne said tactfully.The implication - you are not sick.

Magic Mirror: ... "No, I just want to try to act like a baby with you, will you comfort me like you did to Bai Xue?" Magic Mirror was so angry that he ignored Payne without even pausing.

Payne was also speechless: "What are you going to do? Should I rub your head or hug your shoulders? Let alone where is your head? Bai Xue is my son, how many years are you older than me..." He went up and down I looked at the magic mirror, "Aren't you ashamed to act like a baby at me???"

The magic mirror was completely angry, and he said that he should not talk to Payne today.Payne ignored him, packed his clothes and went out.

The maid who arranged to take care of Kelan said that Kelan had a fever, and the imperial doctor had given him medicine, so Payne went to see Kelan.

Can you not catch a cold in the cold in thin pajamas outside?Payne touched Kelan's forehead, thinking that the body of the monster is not very strong, so the hybrid monster is greatly reduced.

Kelan was in a daze from the fever, calling for his mother, and tears came out of his eyes.

The maids quickly dipped him in warm towels, and re-soaked the warm towel on his forehead with cold water.

Payne told the maids to wipe his body with warm water if the fever still persists by noon.The maids agreed, saying that the doctor gave some blood for treatment before, and I don't know if it will continue.

"Don't use this method if he's still sick. Excessive bloodletting is not good." Payne has nothing to do with this kind of stupid medical treatment, and can only prohibit it within the scope of his control.

After going out, Payne went to the imperial doctor who treated Kelan and asked for some Kelan's blood.

In the afternoon, Payne took the blood to the Magic Tower, and was going to analyze whether there was anything special about the half-monster's blood.

After a busy afternoon, Payne suddenly found that the magic mirror hadn't spoken.He was a little helpless, the magic mirror had never had any trouble with him, why did he feel unbalanced all of a sudden.

Payne simply stopped analyzing and went back to the bedroom and knocked on the magic mirror: "Let's talk."

The magic mirror flashed, indicating that he refused to speak.

Payne was not angry either, and simply sat on the ground.Said that for so many years, the most trusted partner I met when I came to this world is it, no matter it is a magic mirror or what.I have always regarded the magic mirror as the most reliable confidant. Maybe he has many companions around these days, but the best friend is still the magic mirror.

After finishing speaking, Payne tapped the mirror again: "Don't be angry, why are you jealous with children? We are close friends, Bai Xue calls you uncle. No matter how many children or companions I have, you are my confidant, is my best friend and that fact will never change."

The magic mirror was moved to tears by Payne, and it also cried and said that its best partner is Payne.Although the former prince discovered him, the prince was still a little wary of him, and only Payne regarded him as a true friend.

Payne, who had coaxed the three children for two days, was exhausted. He told the magic mirror that he had Crane's blood, and wondered if he could analyze it.

The soothed magic mirror patted his chest and promised that he would help Payne find the weakness of the monster, and try to find all the unstable factors in the kingdom.
