Bai Yan’s lip quivered over the terrible news: “You say Dragony is missing? How did she go missing? Di Cang, tell me now, which is the place?”
Di Cang’s complexion also grew gloomy at the pressing inquiry: “I also don’t know the full details. The last location I know she was in was at the Holy Dragon Mountain.”
Holy Dragon Mountain!
Tensing up along the hand, Bai Yan grew firm and hard along the face, “Di Cang, me and Xiachen are going to that place.”
The peculiarity of that statement didn’t escape the husband’s ear. She specifically mentioned herself and the boy only, never him! Immediately, Di Cang got all possessive and wrapped his arms around her dress.
“I’ll go with you too.”
“You should understand by now Di Cang that we need someone here to guard against the Celestial Palace’s attack. What if they invade while you are not around? Who will protect our daughter then? Stay here, that’s final.”
“But… but Yan Yan, I can’t be at ease if you leave on your own. Dragony isn’t the only one missing, the elite guards I sent to tail her is also missing. An incident that can put them in danger can’t be simple. I don’t want you to face such peril.”
Truthfully speaking, Dragony wasn’t exactly the most favorite person in Di Cang’s roster of people he knew. He cares for Bai Yan, that’s an absolute truth. However, a goddaughter to this demon king doesn’t equate to putting his beloved wife in exceptional danger.
“I can’t just leave Dragony’s fate alone!” Bai Yan reaffirms her decision, getting all huffy and emotional as well. “I don’t know the reasoning myself, but I’ve liked the girl since the first time I laid eyes on her, otherwise I wouldn’t have kept her around to begin with. I know you are worried about me, but I am also worried about her. No matter the danger that’s ahead of the journey, I must go!”
Di Cang got all silent because he knew arguing here won’t win him the fight today. Using his slender finger to caress through her hair, those seductive eyes looked like they could see through the beyond by gazing into the woman’s own.
“Fine, but you must keep Xiachen by your side at all times. You hear me boy? You are a man of the family. You must protect your mother while I’m not around!”
When speaking the word man towards his own son, Di Cang made sure to put extra emphasis on it to pass on the trust he had.
“Don’t worry Baddie Father, I am a man now, I will definitely keep Mother safe from any harm.”
Making a faint chuckle at the good reply, Di Cang now appeared proud: “That’s my son, that’s how a man of the Di family should be!”
Bai Yan naturally felt relieved at the go ahead from her own man. She was honestly starting to worry this possessive demon king would really force his way and bring all the children along! That would be far more disastrous than just going by herself or with Xiachen along!
