âBelieve, we of course believe youâ¦.â Jun Hao forces a charming smile to hide his own unease, âMistress, having us go back to the Spirit Realm canât be without reason. Do you have something you in mind for us?â
âYes, you are right, I do want you two to do something while back there. However, I donât have an exact mission yet aside from passing on information to me.â
âPassing information?â âJun Hao appears surprised by the idea, âBut how are we supposed to pass information to you?â
âThe Spirit Realm is next to the Demon Realm. If anything happens then you can go to the border and have one of the demons carry the message to me. If I ever find out you withheld crucial information then you better pray to the heavens.â
At the thought of the consequences of having his gut melting through due to the toxin, Jun Hao immediately went on a slew of promises and vows to indicate his loyalty. âDonât worry Mistress, we will definitely report any information we come across to you. You have my absolute loyalty.â
âAre you done with the flattery yet?â Bai Yanâs gaze narrowed into a warning look, âIf you are done then get going. I donât care if you have to beg or plea to those who lost their loved ones, you must get their forgiveness.â
The two âslavesâ exchanged a look of helplessness, their faces bittersweet at their own predicament. They know, the path ahead of themselves are going to be a rough and difficult oneâ¦.
âDi Cang, letâs go see my shifus and grandparents. Its very likely they still havenât left yet.â She then stretches lazily like its still early despite it being late into the afternoon.
âMother!â Then from out of the blue, a tiny little guy rushes over from the front and directly crashed into her stomach, causing even Bai Yan to stumble back a few steps in the process.
All teary and pitiful in the face: âMother, did Baddie Father hurt you last night? I heard your tragic cries last night, but Great-grandfather and them wonât let me come and save you no matter whatâ¦.â
Tragic cries?
Bai Yanâs face was as dark as it comes. Turning rigidly to the one responsible: âDi Cang, yesterdayâ¦. Did I really cry out that tragically?â
She gets an affirmative nod in return and causes that back to stiffen.
If thatâs so, doesnât it mean the entire Misty Fairy House has heard us? Thisâ¦. how am I supposed to go meet Grandfather and them? Oh this is too embarrassing!
âOh forget it, I better go back and nap instead.â She wanted to run back into the room and hide herself. Unfortunatelyâ¦.
âMother, donât you want me anymore?â Bai Xiachen tugs at the hem of her dress with the most aggrieved and wronged face he could make.
Towards this image of her boy, Bai Yan could truly say sheâs about to melt from how adorable he was acting. âHow can I you silly? Mother couldnât wait to give you hugs and kisses.â
âThen why do you not want to see me?â
âItâs not that mother here doesnât want to see you, itâs justâ¦â Sheâs really stumped at this moment. Unable to finish her sentence, the plea filled woman turns to Di Cang for help using her own distressed face.
âXiachen, donât fluster your mother with your questions, âthe demon king says it with a serious face despite laughing inwardly. âShe has to go see your great-grandparents now so help me support her.â
âOh, okay~â Acting like the good little boy that he was, Bai Xiachen completely misses the fact that heâs being toyed with by his old man and was now firmly holding onto that hand in support.
Seeing herself being surrounded by one big and one small foxes, Bai Yanâs face instantly turned dark from how the ridiculous course the scene has played out. âWhat are you two doing? I can walk just fine on my own!â
âThatâs not true. Maybe after last night our son will be having a little sister soon so everything must be on careful sideâ¦â
Younger sister? In that second, one could definitely see sparkling stars in the little steambunâs eye due to how ecstatic he was acting by jumping up and down.
