Finding her partner already gone, Half Qing Sing had no other reason to stay and quickly followed suit.
â¦â¦
Demon City.
The sky around this settlement seems to be perennially shrouded in gloom lately after the king and queen returned three months ago.
The event shouldâve been a joyous occasion for these demons who had their ruler return. Sadly, the queen herself had fallen into a coma since, leaving the king sleepless and worried on her bedside. In fact, aside from the young prince and Bai Yanâs birth mother Bai Ning, no one could get an audience with Di Cang, not even First Elder who had been shut out when he sought to meet him.
â¦â¦
At this moment inside the exquisite looking bed chamber, Di Cangâs appearance was ragged with a unkept beard and eyes sinking in due to the lack of sleep.
âYanâer, itâs already been three months, youâve been asleep for three months. If you donât wake up soon then our daughter wonât be bornâ¦â
âDo you not see? Our child is so strong. Even though you suffered so much damage, she didnât leave us, thatâs her way of telling us she wants to come to this world. For her sake and your own, please return to me. I know you canât bear to make her disappear, right?â
âI wonât let anything happen to you, I promiseâ¦. Even if it costs me my all, I will let you live.â
Bringing his wifeâs hand up to his lip, he kisses it gently like some sort of vow on his part. Sadly, such emotional words didnât get any direct response from the sleeping beauty, but that doesnât mean there wasnât anyâ¦.
Right when the pained husband said all that like a summoning spell, the eyelashes around the womanâs face clearly fluttered slightly, a clear sign sheâs reacting to something, just not sure what it was.
â¦â¦
In the depths of Bai Yanâs consciousness, her soul was wondering through an endless void of light like sheâs searching for something.
âMother⦠Motherâ¦â
Suddenly, a faint and mild cry came from the rear and drew her attention.
âXiachen.â Finding that adorable and familiar face of her boy, Bai Yan didnât hesitate and ran up to give her son a tight hug.
Perhaps itâs the condition sheâs in, or sheâs just so used to the childâs appearance already that she didnât notice, but the Bai Xiachen standing there wasnât normal in any way or form.
âMother, why did you abandon me?â Donning a purple robe with eyes red as a blood moon, thereâs grief and tear coming out of the boyâs existence
âYou are my precious baby, how can I bear to abandon you?â Bai Yan hugs even tighter after hearing those words.
âYou did abandon me because you forgotten about me. I clearly love you so much Mother. I was looking forward to being with you, so why, why did you abandon me?â The little boyâs body shook nonstop after saying that, allowing his tears to freely flow down those cheeks as his hands clutched tightly around Bai Yanâs sleeve.
âAm I a bad boy, thatâs why you donât want me?â The more he spoke, the more saddened his voice became until itâs starting to get a bit creep to the ear.
Then without any indication, that innocent and cute face transformed. No longer the cuddly and lovable face, itâs dark and dry like that of a ghoul, a being full of malice and hate for this world.
âThose who want to break us up all deserves to die! I will kill them all! This world doesnât need anyone else, it only needs us!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
