Bai Yan’s face went black: “If the baby is a girl then she would become Xiachen’s precious little sister. Do you think he will still recognize you as his father if you beat the baby?”
“What does it matter if he recognizes me as his father or not? I only need you anyways.”
This sentence really does match up to that old saying: a wife is true love and the child is an accident…..
The only regret Di Cang has out of this relationship would be how fast the children came into their life. Now he couldn’t even get some free time to spend alone with his wife.
Of course, if it wasn’t for his boy’s presence, perhaps Bai Yan wouldn’t have accepted him so quickly and he knew that much.
……
Celestial palace.
Keeper Ling has been moping around in the main hall for a while now, his expression burdensome and tired like he’s contemplating something heavy.
Eventually a sigh escaped that mouth: “Where exactly did that little thing come from? The power he wielded, why did I fear it so much….” Growing sharp in the eye at the thought, “Such a pity I couldn’t make sure I sniffed the life out of that girl. With the demon king’s blood saving her, she’s likely alive again.”
Should I inform the other Keepers of this matter?
“Respected Keeper, Miss Ruo Xi is seeking an audience with you.”
Despite the sudden interruption of a guard, Keeper Ling didn’t angry and even eased up on his sour face. “She’s back? Go ahead, let her in.”
“Yes Keeper.” But the order was unnecessary because the door had already been pushed open by a hand without any summoning.
Under the glistening light of the sun, a woman wearing a light blue dress slowly strolls in, her elegance and grace unmatched in these halls.
“How did things go on your end Rou Xi?”
“Keeper Ling,” casting her eyes down like some dejected maiden, “I am incompetent, please forgive me, I failed to take down that demonic city and its invaders. Thankfully I was able to confirm one thing though, that woman is alive again!”
Unfazed by the expected news, the old timer didn’t sound angry and even grew more tender in his voice: “Don’t let it get to you, it’s not your fault. I in fact have met that woman already so your outcome is within my expectation.”
Taken aback by the news, the woman stares out in shock: “You’ve seen her?”
“Yes, it should be her reincarnation. Coincidentally, she’s also going by the surname Bai and called Yan. She’s even the daughter of that detested Bai Ning!”
Boom!
Horrified on the face, a visible look of panic filled Yun Ruo Xi’s existence.
Didn’t that woman fall underground? How can Keeper Ling still meet her? Did she secretly escape somehow?
“But you don’t have to worry too much. You are the destined one, the world will rally behind you. As for that wretched lass, she’s the scourge of this world, nothing good will come her way!”
Unlike his attitude toward others, Keeper Ling held Yun Ruo Xi in very high regard so his tone has never been harsh or mean. Unfortunately, the constant reminder of the fact that she’s the destined one only made the lady there glum with agitation.
Make no mistake, Yun Ruo Xi wasn’t so oblivious to the world that she would think she’s the real destined one. Everything in her possession was stolen from Bai Yan in the past. Unless the real owner dies, she could never be at ease or live her life in comfort.
