“Dragony, don’t be afraid, Mother is here by your side…” Bai Yan murmurs this after forcing herself to calm down.
She was afraid and panicked there for a second, but she also believes Moli wouldn’t lie so it’s going to be alright.
“Mother,” Bai Xiachen’s eyes lit up then after noticing something crucial, “Dragony is breathing again!”
It’s at this moment a faint movement could be seen from the girl’s chest, indicating she’s alive again. Though weak and small, life has returned.
Nearly having her heart jump out from excitement, Bai Yan hugs the girl in her arms even harder, hoping the physical contact would accelerate the recovery.
“Dragony, Mother will never let you go again, nor will I let anyone hurt you again…”
Such pain, she couldn’t bear it a second time, not ever.
As if to answer the good news, the dark clouds that has covered the area above their heads also dispersed, revealing the bright blueness and the warm sun in the sky.
Wanting to join in on the embrace, the steambun also crouched down to hug the girls, “Mother, I promise I will get stronger and protect Dragony, I won’t let anyone her at all!”
Even though the boy remains young in his age, but the face was firm and strong.
Moved by the picture, Mo Li Shang (teen) who’s been watching from one side couldn’t turn away. Showing a bittersweet smile: “Moli, you stay with them from now on…”
“Master,” the winged piggy turns around with shock in his eye, “is what you’re saying true? I can really stay?”
Grabbing his chest like he’s hurt, the young man appeared sad along the face: “Why are you agreeing so quickly when I said you can stay? Your behavior… do you know how much it hurts me? We’ve been living together for so long you rascal.”
“But you’re not comfortable leaving Queen Mother alone, nor do I feel comfortable either so why should I feel guilty about staying? You agree right?” Moli replies with innocence in his voice like he’s not doing anything wrong.
Which, in kind was akin to a stab in the heart for the other side. Mo Li Shang’s clearly not used to his partner acting so cruelly….
For example, every time in the past when he said he would lose Moli after getting in an argument, the piggy would always cling onto his leg and sob all day long. Now look what’s happening? The little fella was willing to ditch him so fast!
“Fine Moli, you can stay, but you must protect Dragony at all cost. If I find out Yan Yan is sad again with you here, I will break your leg as punishment, you understand?” Mo Li Shang threatens after pulling a long face.
The piggy promptly shrank his neck back after hearing this. In comparison to his current master, the poor fella obviously felt it’s better to stick with the ladies since he never got scolded like this. Furthermore, Bai Yan would also give him snacks when she’s feeling sweet, a polar opposite to Mo Li Shang’s attitude. The only issue was… at the thought of Dragony’s distaste for pigs, Moli would get very tired in the heart.
Oh how am I supposed to win her over?
“Xiachen,” Bai Yan slowly gets up, “Dragony will be alright now so let’s head back to the city. Your father is going to be worried, plus we need to send more demons here to search for the missing guards.”
“Okay.” Bai Xiachen cleverly reached out to hold the woman’s hand, but his eyes never left the little girl’s frail body: “But Mother, won’t Dragony be cold like this? Do you want me to help warm her up a little?”
