“Also,” flicking his hand open after moving closer to his wife’s face, “take this, it’s something I recently came across by chance. This jade necklace will help keep you safe from a fatal blow for one time. If you keep it on you then I can be at ease.”
He didn’t lie about this item falling into his laps a few days ago, but… there’s more than just one use for it. Of course, Di Cang wouldn’t tell his wife what the other use was less he wants a good beating.
First Elder knew this though. He’s been watching from the sideline the entire time and wanted to speak up to inform the demon queen, however, he ended up saying nothing after a brief thought. What’s the point? This was a husband’s way of protecting his own wife, he as an outsider shouldn’t interfere.
Bai Yan didn’t resist as her man placed the jade necklace around her neck. Then as if to reward the demon king for his good behavior and obedience, the woman actually tiptoed her feet and kissed him along the lips!
This should’ve been a picturesque scene that would wow the world, but not everyone was happy right now here. Bai Xiachen was rather displeased as he puckered his little lips.
Oh what to do, I also want to give Mother a kiss along the cheek. But Baddie Father won’t let me go if I do that….
“I’ll be back soon Di Cang.” Removing her lips from his, Bai Yan turns away for her eldest, “Come Xiachen, we’re going.”
Together, one child and one woman, the pair left the palace without delay. Unfortunately, there are many others who doesn’t want them to leave. For one, the crazy old coot was one of them. Before they could even make it out of the palace grounds, the old grandpapa had come running over while flailing his hands in the air.
“Precious granddaughter, where are you going? I’ll come with you.”
Pausing in her steps, Bai Yan muses over her options before replying, “Grandpapa, can you do one thing for me?”
Rubbing the back of his head, the old coot makes a puzzled face.
“I’m going out with Xiachen so I want you to keep an eye on my twins while we’re not around.”
The strength of the Celestial Palace mustn’t be underestimated. If there’s only Mu Ying around then it’s not a guarantee her children would be safe. Now that’s where her grandpapa would be able to help. As for Di Cang….. he has a lot of things to oversee, the person wouldn’t be able to keep a tab on the children at every moment of the day.
“Okay, okay,” clapping his hands as he laughed aloud, “little Ling Yan and Jin Tian are both so cute and good, just like you back then. However, where are you taking Xiachen? Can’t you take me as well?”
At the end of the day, the old coot would rather be with Bai Yan than to stay here regardless of how fond he was of the kids.
Shaking her head, the woman knew she had to do some persuasion here: “I can’t be at ease with my daughter being left alone. Also, aside from you and Di Cang, I can’t leave my children in other people’s care.”
In other words, she only trusts her husband and this grandpapa the most and wouldn’t entrust the twins to anyone else. Which was true and not a lie.
Laughing with joy now at the given responsibility, “Precious Granddaughter, you don’t have to worry, I will make sure the babies are well protected.” The old coot then went ahead to pat his chest in a reassuring manner, “I won’t let those bad people anywhere near them.”
