Then before Bai Yan could get a proper answer, Bai Xiachenâs painful squirming had stopped. Eyes closed and curled into a ball, there now appears a glowing tattoo like symbol across the kidâs temple which represented the Blood Vine inside his body.
âHeâs fine now. When he wakes up again, heâll have recovered so you can let him rest in that bed over there.â Gesturing to the other room in this cabin, Chu Yi God mildly puts the womanâs anxious heart to rest with that statement.
Relieved, the mother did exactly as told and carefully placed her son atop of the bed. Only then did she leave the cabin for the outside.
âYou just now⦠are you okay?â Regardless of how or what she felt towards this stranger, Bai Yan should rightfully ask about the manâs wellbeing after all heâs done.
âOmphUmmph!â Coughing so slightly as if heâs trying to muffle out his own discomfort, Chu Yi God turns around to show a spellbinding smile thatâs out of this world. âIâm fine, you donât need to worry about meâ¦.â
Then out of habit, the man went ahead to ruffle the womanâs hair like heâs always done so in the past. By the time heâs come to his senses and realized what was done, those fingers were already as stiff as a rock.
âThank you.â Not noticing the oddity in the other sideâs movement, Bai Yan inhales deeply before giving the man a grateful hug.
âIf it wasnât for you then my son wouldnât have recovered so much, and I have a strong feeling like Iâve known you all along. Were you my older brother in a past life?â
Older brother?
The man twitches so slightly at the last bit. Staring closely into the femaleâs eye, his face showed a bittersweet smile like heâs in some sort of pain.
To think the sweet little girl who always followed behind myself would come around and say something like this one dayâ¦. She shouldâve been my wife, and she almost did if not for the mistake I did. Now what was done can never be undone, and we can never return to the old happy times we shared eitherâ¦.
âMaybe we were,â the man sighs, patting her back in response to the hug.
This is for the best. At least she wouldnât hate me if she continues to forgetâ¦.
â¦â¦
âYan Yan, what are you two doing?â
All of a sudden, a familiar voice of anger and jealousy interjects on their moment, causing the woman to stiffen over at the sound signature.
Overbearing, tyrannical, and mesmerizingly seductive, this was none other than the one and only demon lord.
âDi Cang!â As soon as Bai Yan swung around to meet that face, her inner anger exploded.
Just because he left a wisp of power around to protect me during the critical moment doesnât mean Iâm going to forgive what he did!
Without extra word or inquiry into the state of things, Di Cang unleashes his all and allows his power to manifest across the entire mountain peak. Under this might, even the air itself had begun to twist and deform. But thatâs not all. From within the rippled void of the eternal darkness, the great demon lord only needs a wave of his hand to summon out countless ominous blades of pure chaos before firing them off to the pristinely white man currently still hugging his wife.
Thankfully Chu Yi God wasnât a nobody either. In a flash of glorious radiance, his body disappears in the next second and allowed the destructive attack to skimmer through the air and into the earth. This had the indirect effect of cutting off a whole chunk of the peak, leaving an awkward shaped mass of rock and dirt to topple down the cliffside and eventually creating a landslide from the momentum.
âStop it!â
Seeing how these two are about to battle it out in front of herself, Bai Yan immediately lashes out and snapped: âIf you two want to fight then get lost! I wonât tolerate any form of disturbance while my son is resting inside the cabin!â
The momentum of both males were quite monstrous and frightening to even the strongest masters of this world, but at her word and threat, it just suddenly disappears like someone choked the life out of themâ¦.
