Finding her partner already gone, Half Qing Sing had no other reason to stay and quickly followed suit.
……
Demon City.
The sky around this settlement seems to be perennially shrouded in gloom lately after the king and queen returned three months ago.
The event should’ve been a joyous occasion for these demons who had their ruler return. Sadly, the queen herself had fallen into a coma since, leaving the king sleepless and worried on her bedside. In fact, aside from the young prince and Bai Yan’s birth mother Bai Ning, no one could get an audience with Di Cang, not even First Elder who had been shut out when he sought to meet him.
……
At this moment inside the exquisite looking bed chamber, Di Cang’s appearance was ragged with a unkept beard and eyes sinking in due to the lack of sleep.
“Yan’er, it’s already been three months, you’ve been asleep for three months. If you don’t wake up soon then our daughter won’t be born…”
“Do you not see? Our child is so strong. Even though you suffered so much damage, she didn’t leave us, that’s her way of telling us she wants to come to this world. For her sake and your own, please return to me. I know you can’t bear to make her disappear, right?”
“I won’t let anything happen to you, I promise…. Even if it costs me my all, I will let you live.”
Bringing his wife’s hand up to his lip, he kisses it gently like some sort of vow on his part. Sadly, such emotional words didn’t get any direct response from the sleeping beauty, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t any….
Right when the pained husband said all that like a summoning spell, the eyelashes around the woman’s face clearly fluttered slightly, a clear sign she’s reacting to something, just not sure what it was.
……
In the depths of Bai Yan’s consciousness, her soul was wondering through an endless void of light like she’s searching for something.
“Mother… Mother…”
Suddenly, a faint and mild cry came from the rear and drew her attention.
“Xiachen.” Finding that adorable and familiar face of her boy, Bai Yan didn’t hesitate and ran up to give her son a tight hug.
Perhaps it’s the condition she’s in, or she’s just so used to the child’s appearance already that she didn’t notice, but the Bai Xiachen standing there wasn’t normal in any way or form.
“Mother, why did you abandon me?” Donning a purple robe with eyes red as a blood moon, there’s grief and tear coming out of the boy’s existence
“You are my precious baby, how can I bear to abandon you?” Bai Yan hugs even tighter after hearing those words.
“You did abandon me because you forgotten about me. I clearly love you so much Mother. I was looking forward to being with you, so why, why did you abandon me?” The little boy’s body shook nonstop after saying that, allowing his tears to freely flow down those cheeks as his hands clutched tightly around Bai Yan’s sleeve.
“Am I a bad boy, that’s why you don’t want me?” The more he spoke, the more saddened his voice became until it’s starting to get a bit creep to the ear.
Then without any indication, that innocent and cute face transformed. No longer the cuddly and lovable face, it’s dark and dry like that of a ghoul, a being full of malice and hate for this world.
“Those who want to break us up all deserves to die! I will kill them all! This world doesn’t need anyone else, it only needs us!”
