Seeing the face coming off of her own mother there, Di Ling Yan’s heart immediately grew anxious for fear of being called a liar. So, out of instinct, the pipsqueak reached out to grab the lady’s sleeve with that pitiful face.
Realizing her own mistake, Bai Yan promptly leaned her head down for a snuggle: “Mother believes you, our Ling Yan will never lie to her family. Perhaps there is some spot around here that we don’t know about yet, or perhaps…. there’s some sort of trap that needs to be activated before we can head inside the cave. Regardless, our Ling Yan is speaking the truth.”
Rather than stopping the child from crying, that instead brought a bigger wave of tears to the baby girl.
Mother believes me….
Mother really believes I’m not lying!
Wooowoo, Mother is still the best in this world.
Getting the hint from his wife, Di Cang steps over and reached out to give his daughter a reassuring hug as well. Then turning to the demon soldiers that has arrived after himself: “You heard my wife, go scour the mountain, I want to know anyone or anything that exists here!”
He believes his daughter would never lie, so, that means there are hidden secrets on this Demon Mountain in which they are unaware of.
“Ling Yan, I’m sorry,” Bai Xiachen comes forward and presented himself in a guilty fashion, “I left you alone without thinking things through. I will never do it again.”
I should’ve known better than to think she’s fine without me after the lightning stopped. I’m so stupid, I deserve to be hit….
“Father, Mother, that man…. You shouldn’t blame him, I don’t think he’s a bad person.” The pipsqueak keeps her head low and murmurs this after picking up on what her parent intends to do.
He was fierce, that she wouldn’t deny. Plus he also threatened to eat her, but in the end he did let her go did he not? Therefore, in the pipsqueak’s mind, the scum fell into the category of being a good person.
“You don’t have to think too much about it Ling Yan, I’ll let your father investigate the matter. From now on don’t go outside on your own again, okay?” Bai Yan rubs her daughter’s back sooth both their mood.
Unless they are a mother themselves, no one else here could relate to this woman’s emotions when she realized her daughter’s disappearance. It’s enough to tear her soul apart in that initial moment. Thankfully nothing bad happened, otherwise she wouldn’t know what to do anymore.
“Mother, I’m sorry, it’s my fault for worrying you and Big Brother. I won’t run away anymore.”
This time things scared her too.
Thankfully that man wasn’t a real badass, but then what if she does meet a real bad guy the next time around?
She hasn’t lived long enough yet, nor spend enough time with her parents and siblings yet…
“Ling Yan.” Jin Tian the little glutton strolled forward then, his chubby body trembling all over as she spoke while grabbing his sister’s hand: “I promise I won’t rob your food in the future anymore, will you stop going away? Also don’t leave me, okay?”
In the heart of this chubby pipsqueak, he’s the sole reason for his twin sister’s mishap tonight. If he had given her his piece of the pie at dinner, there wouldn’t be any reason for Ling Yan to wander around at night due to hunger. So, it’s all his fault for being a selfish foodie.
“Second Brother…” Di Ling Yan’s mood finally returned to her jolly self as she giggled. Smiling brightly: “I am hungry, I want to eat.”
Bursting into a huge smile as well, Jin Tian desperately nodded.
