In light of those murderous eyes, Bai Yan didnât feel fear at all. Sheâs the mother of this boy so the only thing she wants to do right now was to smile at him and give him a hug.
âI know you want me to hold you, Iâm here now so come to my arms. But you and your brother are both my children, and I know you are a good child at heart, soâ¦. can you tell me where he went?â
Di Cang mentioned it to her before, this Xiachen was the previous incarnation of her own unborn child, making this grudge effectively her own baby.
Despite the plea and effort to rouse a conversation, this version of the little steambun didnât reply, only slowly walking over with that expressionless face and dangerous looking set of eyes that frightened even the strongest of hearts. Even so, despite all these warning flags of danger, Bai Yan didnât flinch or cower, she only wanted to reach out to give him a hug, which she did try to do once they were only a few feet apart.
However, itâs right at this crucial moment that a beam of purplish spark came shooting down from the sky. Next thing the woman knew was that she has found herself in the arms of her own husband.
âOuuuHHHH!â The celestial fox instantly had its fur raised as soon as it saw Di Cangâs peerless face. The behavior of the little creature was similar to someone stepping on its tail because it completely ignored its own injury then and ran for the peak.
At this stage Bai Yan didnât have the attention or energy left to worry about the foxâs departure. Stiffly asking the man holding herself: âDi Cang, what are you doing here?â
âIf I didnât come then how are you supposed to take care of yourself? Heâs not our son anymore. Once heâs possessed by that grudge, he will no longer recognize any of us!â
Bai Yan knew that of course, sheâs not foolish or blind to the fact that her boyâs condition are spiraling out of control, but⦠but itâs still her son!
âI can handle this,â raising her hand, she pushes Di Cang aside so that she could look at her boy again. Smiling in the face, âChild, donât be afraid and come to me, I will protect you.â
Bai Xiachen still didnât utter a single word, only staring straight at Di Cangâs figure. Then as if able to sense the hostility towards itself, the little figure started to release its killing intent before he suddenly pounced at his old manâs throat.
Kill!
Kill everyone!
Di Cangâs expression darkened at this picture. Nevertheless, the only reaction he did was to sidestep and narrowly avoided the punch.
âDi Cang!â
Seeing how the two males of his life are about to go at each otherâs throat, Bai Yan also lost it. Without thinking, she threw herself in between them both.
Bang!
That punch heavily hits into her stomach, causing blood to spew out of her mouth for the third time today.
âYanâer!â Exclaiming with a face so white itâs frightening, Di Cang quickly rushes up to catch the collapsing woman, âWhy did you block it? This little thing is not my opponent!â
Coughing as she tried to speak, Bai Yan somehow manages to struggle back despite her terrible state, âIâm fine, you donât have to worry.â
Besides, she doesnât want them to fightâ¦.
Meanwhile on the other side, Bai Xiachenâs bloodthirsty eyes had stopped locking onto the demon king, instead itâs fixated on his own little fist. Itâs clear that something was stirring inside his heart because it looks like incredible pain was going through that face right now.
