“Okay, I will listen to you Mother.” The boy has no opinion regarding the matter, after all, he only cares about his little sister’s name.
Giving a gentle tickle at the baby girl, “Ling Yan, you have to remember your name is from your older brother here.”
As if to answer those words, the girl actually drew a smile that melted the kid’s heart like a hot spring.
“Mother, she is smiling at me, did you see that!” Smiling right up to the eye, Bai Xiachen couldn’t hold back his delight, “She must also like me a lot…”
“Xiachen, bring me the scissor first.” Bai Yan had long climbed up from the dirty ground and leaned in against a nearby tree using a sitting position.
“Okay.” First burning the metal utensil against the fire, he then quickly came before his mother with a helpless face, “What should I do now Mother?”
“Give…”
But before she could say give her the scissor, a noticeable energy signature had caught her attention and sent her into alarm.
“Xiachen, protect your little brother and sister.” Without delay, Bai Yan takes over and cuts the umbilical cord without a second thought, her eyes scanning intently at the front.
“Okay.”
With the main cord holding the babies back cut, the little steambun was free to move around freely for the impending new arrival. They are both aware of what’s coming and knew what must be done.
Swoosh!
It didn’t take long for the sound to reach their location, and when it did, Bai Yan’s eyes immediately locked onto the snowy white fox that gave off an incredible visual impact.
Yet instead of stopping over the unfamiliar people in her territory, the fox continued to pounce at them at incredible speed. In an instant, the creature had brandished its claws and swiped down at Bai Yan’s shoulder.
“Mother!” White in the face, Bai Xiachen snaps in anger over the wound, “Stop!”
This angry holler carried incredible weight apparently. Rather than continuing with its attack, the celestial fox stopped and stared out at the child in a daze.
Using this momentary opening, Bai Yan promptly backed off to gain a bit of distance. The pain stung from her shoulder and she’s very perplexed by the creature’s behavior.
Does Xiachen’s lineage able to suppress the celestial fox? That must be it. He’s also a fox, the royal family at that. This celestial fox may have lived and evolved inside the Celestial Realm, but he’s still an animal!
“Careful!”
From out of the blue, Bai Yan could hear the whistling sound of an arrow from the sky. It’s shrouded in purple light, soaring through the air like it wants to rip reality apart.
Thankfully the target wasn’t the woman herself, otherwise she be in some serious danger there. Instead, it’s shooting straight down for the hostile animal.
Pfff!
The celestial fox obviously sensed the danger behind itself and also tried to dodge, unfortunately the creature it was already too late. The arrow had pierced through its chest and stained the ground with a whole puddle of red.
