Bai Ning would have liked to take Ning Yu out to spread some of the stuffiness pent up insider herself, sadly, any of that desire was dissipated once she got a good look at the local township. Itâs depressing and lifeless on the streets, a real disappointment due to all the fearmongering surrounding the recent invasion.
Celestial Realm, sooner or later this place will perish, and I will l be anticipated that day when it comes!
âMother!â Suddenly, a dainty young girl rushes over from out of the blue and threw herself into Bai Ningâs arm.
This girl was soft and lovely in appearance, giving off a faint fragrance to the nose, adding in the two braids hanging down the side of her face, sheâs absolutely adorable. But before the lady herself could speak, another voice had cut in from the side. Itâs childish as well, but carried a sense of calm rarely found in someone that young.
âDummy, how can you recognize the wrong person? This is not Mother.â
At the pointer, the little girl lets go of her hug and looks up. Drawing a frown: âIâm sorry, I mistook you for my mother because you look so much alike.â
Alike?
Bowing down to eye level, Bai Ning didnât mind and found the encounter to be refreshing.
âItâs all right, itâs normal to make mistakes on occasion. Say, am I really that much like your mother?â
Its then the little boy came out from behind. Just like the girl, this young boy was also quite the eye-catcher, but the air he had was less innocent and more pronounce. This mainly had to do with that single red eye, itâs a huge contrast to the rest of his appearance.
This would honestly be the first time Bai Ning ever came across such a strange child. Nevertheless, she still wanted to get closer to the boy for some unknown reasons.
âMhmm, you are very similar to our mother, the only difference is that sheâs younger and more beautiful. Our mother is the number one beauty in this world you know.â As soon as the little steambun started to talk about his mother, his face would get all excited and full of pride.
Normally a female would be quite upset at being called old, but in this case Bai Ning didnât and got interested instead. âThen whereâs your mother? If fate would allow it, I would like to meet her.â
Sadly, that was the wrong thing to say in this case. Immediately, Dragonyâs tear started to trickle down at the sore topic.
âOoohwooo, weâre separated from Mother. Pretty Granny, did you see our mother?â
Pretty Granny? Hmmm, I guess it does fit my ageâ¦.
âIâm sorry but I havenât. However, since youâre saying Iâm very much like your mother then of course I will keep an eye out for her. Oh right, you two still havenât told me your names yet.â
Casting a look at the woman whom held such similarity to his own mother, Bai Xiachen figured nothing bad could come of it even if he did. âMy name is Bai Xiachen, and she is Dragony, the two behind us is Dragon Flame and Half Qing Sing, theyâre our bodyguards.â
That introduction actually made the old goat gawk his jaws down.
When did I, the great Dragon God, become a little bodyguard for this little guy? Butâ¦.
Upon remembering the impending freedom thatâs going to come his way afterwards, he endured the discontent and held it in.
Oh whatever, itâs just this one time. Just a title, I will have it changed in no time.
âYour name is Bai Xiachen? What a coincidence, my surname is also Bai. My full name is Bai Ning.â The lady introduces herself as well.
Bai Ning??A tremor shook the boyâs heart, causing his eyes to widen in surprise.
