“Di Cang, I want to go back now.” Throwing her head against the demon king’s chest, the woman herself appeared lonely and sad at this moment.
It’s true she’s happy to be able to meet some of her family here on Earth, but she’s also missing the other family and friends in the other world. Besides, this world was no longer hers, she doesn’t belong here anymore. What’s more, the pain would only grow deeper the longer she stalls the departure.
“Okay, I’ve prepared everything already before I came to see you. Black Turtle is also waiting for us, we can leave this place at once if you wish.”
Black Turtle?
Bai Yan appear shocked at this sudden news: “You found Black Turtle? I’ve heard before that the Water Clan has a sacred beast under its control, capable of controlling rain and wind to its will… are you saying…”
“Yes, that is Black Turtle, me being able to borrow this body is also because of him arranging things beforehand.”
But then just as Bai Yan wanted to pursue the story some more, a tug at the sleeve brings her to focus. It’s Bai Yi Yi who did that. She’s all pleading in the face because she knows there won’t be another chance to ask if given up.
“Di Cang, can I bring someone with us from Earth?” Bai Yan asks, raising hope in her desperate sister’s face.
In compared to staying on Earth, Bai Yi Yi would much rather stick around her older sister’s side.
“No,” the demon king shakes his head, knowing full well what his wife wanted by asking such a question. “Your younger sister doesn’t belong in that world, therefore it’s difficult or impossible to bring her along.”
The light in Bai Yi Yi’s eye visibly dimmed due to the hope being squashed. Revealing a yearnful and sorrowful smile: “It’s okay Sister Bai Yan, I’m happy that you thought of me… Maybe in the future we can still meet again if fate permits us.”
She’s been trying to hide from the suppressed emotions underneath, but against her foster sister’s sorrowful face, Bai Yan just couldn’t hold it in anymore and clenched up inside. Then turning to skim the rest of her relatives who are all making similar sad faces, she knew this would be it, the final farewell….
“Yan Yan, you now have a husband and child, I can finally feel at ease knowing you are not alone anymore. My big sis will surely be happy knowing someone is loving you as much as she did….” Bai Ran’s tone carried nothing but happiness for her niece: “If chance permits, do come see us again. If not… its fine too, just live your life well on the other side.”
“Aunt, Uncle, Grandpa Ling and everyone, I likely won’t be able to return again so you all must take care of yourselves.” Bai Yan’s solemn and heavy attitude told them all they need to hear, thus bringing the atmosphere into a heavy silence that none wanted to break.
“Cousin, do you think there is a god in this world?” Ling Lang the flirt was the most impatient and eventually spoke up after a long pause. He couldn’t bear to not see this newfound relative again, after all, he did fall in love at first sight without realizing they’re related there.
Bai Yan nodded: “Yes, there is.”
“Then, what if… we manage to reach that godhood? Would we be able to meet again then?”
Bai Yan’s first reaction was a startled face at the level of ambition this cousin of hers had. She knows that even if the flirt did reach that kind of power, it wouldn’t necessarily mean he would be able to come to the same Celestial Realm as she was in. They’re different worlds, that means there must be a different Celestial Realm as well for immortals here on Earth. However, against the hopeful eye coming her way, the demon queen just couldn’t bring herself to say no.
“Maybe,” she says, making sure to be unspecific.
“Then I will work hard Cousin. Don’t worry, I won’t be lazy and make great use of the Dan pills you gave me. When I get strong enough, I will go to that whatever Celestial Realm to find you!” Ling Lang proudly pats his own chest to portray confidence.
Giving each and every one of her family and friends one last glance to signal it’s time, Bai Yan returns her attention back to the husband: “Di Cang, we can set out now. After we finish arranging Yi Yi’s takeover of the Water Clan, we will immediately leave this world….”
