“Yan Yan, be careful, I’ll help you go rest. During this period, you don’t need to do anything, just wait here for my good news.”
Bai Yan instantly went black in the face: “I am not so delicate that I need to me carried, not to mention I’m only five months into my pregnancy, there’s no need to be so nervous.”
“But I’m afraid you will get tired…”
……
Against this sort of behavior from their king towards their queen, the demons and demonic beasts gathered here were all gawking their mouths out in shock. Even though they’ve heard of Di Cang’s love for Bai Yan from the various rumors, but not many of them have actually seen the real thing until now. That level of pampering was too much for their small hearts!
However, that doesn’t mean shock was the only emotion running through their minds, there’s also envy circulating among the female body. Thankfully these had self-acknowledgement and didn’t have other intent in mind, otherwise Di Cang and Bai Yan would have to deal with another situation like that snake and fox fiasco.
Once settled in on the courtyard prepared by the residents of this city.
“What are your plans for attacking the Celestial Realm in the evening?” Bai Yan asks with a serious face.
“I’m first going to head to the ancient battlefield that lies beyond this border city. Since that place is controlled by the Celestial Realm, it is bound to be defended by their forces. However, it is also filled with countless treasures lost through the ages. I intend to first conquer that place and then gather the items hidden underneath the ground for you. Afterwards I will then begin the assault on the rest of the Celestial Realm.”
Understanding now, Bai Yan reaches over to grasp one of her husband’s hand: “I want to go with you….”
“Yan Yan,” pressing the woman’s shoulder with his own free hand, his tone grew heavy as he spoke “You are pregnant now, I don’t want you to work so hard. The defenders stationed at this ancient battlefield isn’t too strong so you can be at ease, nothing will happen, I promise you. Just wait here and rest until I come back.”
Until I come back….
These four words hit her hard: “Remember Di Cang, we are bound together by the soul. If I notice that you are in danger I will come for you no matter the danger, remember that!” Turning solemn in the face after saying that: “So, for me, you must pay attention to your own safety.”
Di Cang didn’t argue with that request, instead he pressed his own lips towards her to let the woman know his inner feelings.
After the kiss, the man’s voice grew hoarse and longing: “I promise you, for you and our children, I won’t let any harm come my way.”
Reassured now, Bai Yan shows a genuine pleased smile: “Remember what you promised me, otherwise I will follow you to death if I must, we will be together!”
This time it was Di Cang who got hit hard by the words. Pulling his wife into an embrace, he holds her tightly to relish in this moment.
“Yan Yan…” getting a bit dry in his throat at what he’s about to say,” I also started to remember some things. I remember a long time ago I failed, I couldn’t protect you, and I lost you for that….” Then going sharp in the eye like a ferocious beast, “I will never let that happen again, never!”
This was his promise to her, a promise he intends to keep for this life and the next and forward!
