âOkay.â Bai Yan relents and nod.
She believes in the power of her husband and trusts he could cope with any hurdle that might come their way.
âRight, Di Cangâ¦â
She seemed to of thought of something: âI havenât seen Shifu and Grandfather and them for a long time so I intend to go back with the kids this time around to let them meet.â
Besides, she has an apprentice in the Liu Huo Kingdom. Even if she hasnât been around in the human world for years by this point, she still liked the boy who reminded her of herself in the past. This time she intends to act the role of a shifu and properly teach him something.
âThen take Suzaku and them with you.â Wrinkling his brow at the unexpected idea, Di Cang suggests taking the sacred beasts to act as guardians in his stead.
âNo, Iâll be back soon so thereâs no need. Besides, no one can threaten me if those monarchs donât show up. Donât worry, Iâll be safe.â Bai Yan smiles in reassurance.
Sheâs half a step into being a Divine Lord herself, thatâs the same level as those monarchs. Unless someone at her fatherâs level show up, Bai Yan had complete confidence to defeat the enemy or at least escape unscathed.
Seeing her insistency, the demon king knew there was nothing more to be said about that matter. âCome back soonâ¦.â
âI willâ¦â Without intention, Bai Yanâs face was all smiling once she met his gaze.
âMother, I want to take Dragony with me.â Bai Xiachen suddenly turned up between his parentâs sides and popped this request, âDragony is also my sister, I want to take her with us if weâre leaving.â
Making a faint smile at her sonâs hopeful eye, Bai Yan felt guilty at what she was about to say: âDragony canât come with us.â
âWhy?â The steambun fell into shock.
Why canât Dragony come with us?
âI havenât had time to tell you so this is a good chance. Your auntie Xiao Wan has temporarily left the Demon Realm in search of State Teacherâs reincarnation. Dragony also went with her as security since her strength has grown a lot.â
Auntie Xiao Wan and Dragony are gone?
Bai Xiachen made a dazed-looking face as his mind processed this bombshell. Moments later, the emotional loss couldnât be hidden from the boyâs expression.
âMother,â itâs then Di Ling Yan threw herself into Bai Yanâs arms after hearing the news, âwhenw ill Sister Dragon come back?â
âI speculateâ¦. It will likely take some days.â Bai Yan tried to be as vague as possible.
She doesnât know when the two would return so this was the best excuse.
âThatâs enough questions for your mother.â Di Cangâs brow furrowed up at the persistence of the kids and immediately shot a warning glance at his eldest, âshe needs to rest.â
Originally the steambun wanted to voice his displeasure at the sudden halting of their conversation, but his words were promptly stuffed back into his throat at the face his old man was making.
âBut I havenât seen Mother for so longâ¦.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDo you want another sister or not?â Di Cang asked with an air of triumph.
A brightness instantly shot out of the steambunâs eyes then, but that light soon dimmed after seeing the delicate face of his younger sister whoâs now in Bai Yanâs arms.
âFather, you canât keep fooling me with that anymore, Iâve already got Ling Yan so Iâm satisfied.â
