Chapter 1097 “War’s Prelude (7)”
With a smile on her face, mini Bai Yan helps lift the mini Ruo Xi up from the ground: “This place still isn’t the safest so let’s go, we need to find a better location.”
Bai Yan wanted to catch the mini version of herself when realizing they were about to leave, however, that’s when a beckoning voice interrupted her act from the outside.
“Yan Yan…”
Right as she opens her eyes from being awakened from the dream, the first thing that come into her view was the stunning face of a man staring down at herself. It’s the look of worry and love.
“Yan Yan, what’s the matter? Why is your complexion looking so pale?”
Startled by that comment, she quickly checked her own cheeks and found the temperature to be exceptionally cold. It didn’t take much to guess the sort of face she had at the moment.
“Di Cang, I saw memories of the past again…”
If at first she didn’t know what the bloody battlefield was then she most certainly do now, it’s about her previous life and the scene of herself and another girl just proves of it. Of course, the reasoning for such resentment remains a mystery for herself, but one things sure, Bai Yan holds a very strong grudge that couldn’t be erased even after a lifetime.
Understanding his wife needs comfort, Di Cang hurries over to wrap his arms around her shoulder to continue listening.
“What I saw this time is a pair of friends. Based on their conversation alone, I can tell they’ve been dependent on each other for a few years. It’s just… I don’t know why, but I hated that friend very much when I saw her.”
That kind of hate goes deep into the bones so its unmistakable.
“So, I suspect, perhaps she might’ve done something unforgivable to me in the previous life?” Bai Yan looks up to her husband, hoping for some kind of support in that theory.
Hugging that body even tighter: “Don’t over think this anymore, I won’t let anyone that hurt you before go!”
Bai Yan did not object to the idea. Leaning her head against his chest, she’s finding this man increasingly more reliable to the point where only by being with him does she have a peace of mind.
“Okay…” she says after a long while of silence.
No matter what happened in the previous life, Bai Yan knows that as long as she has him then that’s enough.
……
On the Holy Island, Bai Xiachen was currently sitting at the edge of the lake with his feet dangling off the water, thus causing a rippling effect on the surface.
“Highness.” It’s unsure when Dragony had come before the boy but she didn’t hesitate to take a seat beside him. “What are you doing?”
“Dragony, Mother and Baddie Father may be starting their attack on the Celestial Realm soon.” Unlike his age, a deepness that was normally found only in adults were shrouding over his face. “I would likely have to go with them by then. I need to protect Mother and protect my little sister in her belly, can you go back to the Demon Realm and wait for us?”
“Why?” The girl blinks and blinks, “I want to go with you, I don’t want to be left behind.”
“Listen, this is too dangerous. With Mother’s character, I know she won’t want you to be in danger either.” Hardening up in the face, the little steambun remains stubborn on the matter. “So go back to the Demon Realm like I say.”
Despite lowering her head over the persuasion, Dragony has become rather sneaky as of late and showed a cunning light in those eyes. In her view, she could just secretly follow them from behind because she’s not going to be a coward on this.
Oblivious to the thoughts running through his friend’s head, Bai Xiachen instead got up from the spot when his ears picked up the sound of someone coming from behind. “Baddie Father, Mother!”
“Xiachen, Dragony, you two go pack up. Once you are done, we will go say goodbye to your grandparents and head back to the Demon Realm.” Bai Yan says with a faint smile.
