âI know itâs thanks to that amulet that I can be me again, butâ¦. it also turned me into this grotesque formâ¦.â Bai Xiachen heavily sighs and covers the red eye with his hand.
Going white from alarm, Bai Yan didnât want to mess around after hearing this and poured her senses into the boy for examination. âImpossible, how can your body be manipulated by another person? Iâve probed your body Xiachen. You only have your soul inside so itâs impossible for such a thing to happen.â
Shaking his little head cluelessly: âI donât know either Mother, I only know my mind went blank in that moment and that thereâs a voice telling me to kill everyone. Then thatâs when my body began to move on its own!â
Thank goodness I drove Dragony away, otherwise I mightâve hurt her in that momentâ¦..
Trembling in her voice now, Bai Yan tightly wounds her arms around the boy: âBelieve in me Xiachen, mother here will never let you be hurtâ¦.â
âBut Mother, Iâm afraid of hurting you,â Bai Xiachen also wounds his little hands around her body for comfort. âI can feel it right now, I might lose control at any time. If the day comes where I can no longer recognize anyone, you and Baddie Father mustnât be soft on me.â
Stiffening up in her body: âXiachenâ¦.â
âBecause Mother is my most important person, I donât want you to be hurtâ¦.â Drawing a precious smile of warmth and fear, Bai Xiachenâs appearance only brought even more pain to Bai Yanâs heart despite his failed attempt at making the situation better.
In the end, Bai Xiachen was still only a child, how could he know what a motherâs heart thought? Asking her to kill him when the time comes? Absolutely not!
âSon, everything has a solution, believe in me, Iâll find a solution.â Standing up with her boy in hold, she prints a kiss on his forehead to seal the promise. âBesides, if you hadnât been there, I mightâve perhaps already given up long agoâ¦.â
Bai Xiachen didnât protest to that statement, he just knew his mother might say that, soâ¦. When the time comes, heâs going to request the same thing from his old man. The only issue would be the after the fact consequences. His mother might hate his old man for the rest of her lifeâ¦.
âGege,â Dragony timidly gets closer as well and reaches out to hold his hand, âI will also help youâ¦â
Smiling brilliant at the girlâs support, Mother wonât be lonely if Dragony is with her, and thereâs my little sister who still isnât born yetâ¦..
âXiachen, Dragony, letâs go and find a way out of this place first.â Narrowing her eyes into a slit after saying that, the contour of Yun Ruo Xi appears within Bai Yanâs mind.
She kept getting the sensation that she knew that woman from somewhere, especially that amulet around the neck, itâs very familiar.
â¦â¦
Demon City.
At the mouth of this city, the man whom rules over this place continues to stare down from the sky at those who dared to invade his property. Forget about harming him, they couldnât even touch the corner of his sleeve at this moment. However, Di Cangâs heart continued to grow more dire and uneasy with each wasted minute.
âYan Yan?â The man suddenly gripped his hand into a ball after reaching out for a second time with his senses, âFirst Elder, you deal with these people! I got something I need to do first!â
The command greatly startled the senior who was still locked in battle with the weaker foes among the many attackers, his eyes showing surprise.
Let me handle it?
How am I supposed to deal with that many High Divines?
âSire⦠where⦠where are you going?â First Elder asks with trembling nervousness.
