âHow can this be? Quickly tell me. If Lan Yue passed away then how was your childhoodâ¦.â
Bai Yan didnât keep anything hidden and went over the details in full to her biological mother. From the happy times according to her memory, and the sad and difficult ones where she had to run away from that household.
Bai Ning naturally became outraged over the maltreatment of her daughter by that scum of a stepfather, but the womanâs anger quickly turned to pain and regret. Thereâs no doubt in her mind that Lan Yue wouldâve taken good care of Bai Yan, just that she never expected her dear friend to pass away so early on in her years. As a result, she could be said to have indirectly pushed the young girl into suffering so much wrong during her youth!
I shouldâve kept her with me that day, why did I decide to leave her behind!
âBut you donât have to feel sorry for me Mother, even if I suffered a lot in those years, I still had my brother Xiaoâer by my side. Now I also have Di Cang and Xiachen so Iâm very happy.â
Upon mentioning her own brother who has always stood by her side, Bai Yanâs lips inexplicably curved into a heartwarming smile. Sure, they havenât seen each other in a while after they went their separate ways that day, but this sister knows her younger brother had also come to the Celestial Realm. As long as theyâre walking on the same land then they are bound to reunite some day!
âThat Bai Xiao is indeed a good child. I hope I can meet him someday and even take him as my godson.â Bai Ning says that with a slight chuckle.
In those years it was Bai Xiao who persistently stood by Bai Yanâs side so the amount of merit he earned with Bai Ningâs heart was monumental. She couldnât even begin to imagine otherwise if there wasnât this emotional support.
âYour husband is also pretty good. That day your injury shouldâve been lethal thanks to that Keeper Ling, but your husband saved you with his essence bloodâ¦.â
âWhat did you say?â
Seeing the urgency, Bai Ning didnât keep her daughter hanging and mistakenly thought it was because she now knows about the demon kingâs identity. âI already know heâs a demon. Donât worry, Iâm not like those worldly people out there who canât see past the norm, not to mention he went that far for your sake. If I donât accept him then its me whoâs in the wrong.â
She didnât like Di Cang before because she didnât want to have Bai Yan be hurt by a bad man. Now that sheâs confirmed thatâs not the case, thereâs no reason left to hate him.
Pale in the face, Bai Yan presses for more info despite the reassurance: âHow much blood did he bleed out?â
âProbably, about half a bowl?â
Boom!
Like a thunderbolt striking down at her head, Bai Yanâs mind was blown away as her legs stumbled back a few steps.
For a demon and demonic beast, their essence blood was equivalent to their life.
For example, if a demon could live for a thousand years then they would undoubtedly suffer greatly in their lifespan. Now imagine half a bowlâs worth! That would be lethal to some of the weaker demons!
That idiot, he really doesnât want to live anymore does he?
âPlease wait Mother, Iâll be right back very soon.â Gnashing her teeth in frustration, Bai Yan didnât wait another second and dashed for the exit where her husband was waiting under a peach blossom tree.
âHow did the talk with Mother-in-law go?â Oblivious to the mistake he himself did, Di Cang asks with a dashing smile that only got enhanced due to the pink petals slowly drifting onto his robe.
Running up fast to choke onto his collar, Bai Yan sounded furious: âDi Cang, did you use your own essence blood to save me?â
âDid Mother-in-law tell you that?â
