The boy hurries to tug at Bai Yanâs sleeve: âMother, is what Baddie Father said true? Am I going to have a lovely little sister soon?â
âYes, as beautiful and lovely as your mother.â Di Cang scraped his finger along the little steambunâs nose in a doting and spoiled manner, which immediately removed any hint of the sadness the boy felt just seconds ago.
Practically jolting with joy: âIf I have a beautiful and lovely sister then I will cherish her and keep her safe, I wonât let anyone bully or harm her! If anyone dares then I will break their leg!â
While the son and father duo were having their gleeful moment, the most important female here on the other hand was having a brain tumor explode from within. Pointing at her sonâs face with twitchy eyes, âSon, do you know what you are?â
âWhat?â Bai Xiachen asks with innocent and confused looks.
âIn my hometownâs word, you are what they call a sistercon.â
âWhat is a sistercon?â Blinking his big blue eyes, this word didnât register at all in the kidâs brain as he titled his head sideways.
âA sistercon is someone who will spoil their sister until they become a princess and not allow anyone with bad intent to approach her.â
âBut you are wrong Mother, itâs not me spoiling my sister into a princess, rather my sister is a princess. Sheâs going to be the Demon Realmâs princess so I need to protect her and not allow any misbehaving bad people bully or harm her.â Due to how innocent and affectionate his smile was, the boyâs attitude was quickly rubbing off on the womanâs irked mood.
âUnfortunately your sister still hasnât shown up yet Son, you need to dampen your expectations.â
âNo! Sister will appear,â Bai Xiachenâs face appears deadset on the idea and puffed up those cheeks, âI had a dream about Sister last night. Perhaps itâs a signal from her so I know she will appearâ¦.â
For a while Bai Yan didnât know how to respond to her boyâs firm stance on the matter.?At this rate?the boy is going to go crazy about a sister. Itâs just a dream, how can a baby come out so quickly?
âBaddie Father, donât forget, you also promised me a little brother to take over the Demon Realmâs rule.â The kid then puckers up his lip like heâs thought of something important, âBy then I can take my little sister out into the world to visit all sorts of places. We can enjoy the food that is offered and the unexplored lands waiting to be visited. I canât wait for that!â
Donât assume just because heâs young and still a child that he wonât understand the heavy duties that come with the position of being a ruler. The boyâs not going to assume the relentless burden of overseeing a whole realm, thatâs something he intends to unload onto his unborn younger brotherâ¦.
âYan Yan, how about we work harder and give Xiachen a younger brother as well?â Puffing his breath right next to the womanâs ear, Di Cangâs word were tingly and nerve racking for the faint of heart.
Flushing red from the remark, Bai Yan didnât want to face her husband.?How can this father and son act like this? Thereâs not even a girl yet and theyâre already asking for a boy too. This⦠itâs too whimsical.
âEnough Di Cang, weâre going to see Grandfather and them.â Pulling herself together have a long heave, she diverts the topic to get herself out of this hole.
âYouâre not scared anymore?â the man grins.
Thinking back to the moans and cries for mercy from last night, Bai Yan goes all red right up to the ear for a second time but got firm in her suggestion: âWe will have to meet eventually. Whatâs more, I still have something I like to give them before they leave.â
âOh Yan Yan, you shouldnât think too much on the matter you know, its human nature to do what we did. They will understand since theyâre well experienced as well.â
Human nature?
Well experienced?
Bai Yanâs eyebrow twitched incessantly due to how easily her manâs words were able to make one croak.
â¦â¦â¦.
âThis⦠is this how a family supposed to act like, getting along and well?â Staring at the departing backs of the family of three after they manage to get going, Liu Qing Yu had a look of envy in those eyes, âI also wished for something like this for my father and mother once upon a time, harmonious and happy, butâ¦.â
Unfortunately, such a picture would never come to pass for this lady of the Spirit Realm. That luxurious scene that she dreamed up as a child shattered years ago when her mother passed away and started the perilous journey of self-improvement and assassination attempts from her enemies.
