When Bai Xiachen saw how his little brotherâs dirty little paws were about to come into contact with his clothe and leave a print, the boy immediately jerked backwards and avoided the close call.
âMama, Mama, does big brother not like me?â Jin Tian turns to his mother for an answer after grasping at air. Heâs looking all teary and aggrieved right now due to the treatment.
Undoubtedly true, his eldest brother held an improper opinion of this little glutton due to how much pain Bai Yan had to go through in order to give birth. But now upon seeing the tearing up face of the baby boy, not even Bai Xiachen could keep up his iron heart and promptly softened up.
How could he not?
âDonât cry,â Bai Xiachen steps back over and stared nervously at those two little paws thatâs covered in dirt. The way heâs acting was like someone heading off to the execution grounds. âIf you want to grip my robe then go ahead.â
Thatâs right, after years of teaching and lecturing from Bai Yan, the future demon prince of this world actually has a phobia against being dirty. If heâs so much as catches a stain then it would be akin to torture.
âButâ¦â turning his eyes, Bai Xiachen suddenly got a sweet idea. âAfterwards you are not allowed to bully your sister anymore, and you are not to take her fruits! She is a girl and needs to be doted, you understand?â
Making a confused face at his older brother, Jin Tian clearly didnât understand all that well but nodded anyways. In his view, whatever Bai Xiachen says was right and couldnât be wrong.
âThen⦠Iâll be more careful in the future.â
Satisfied by that answer, the now eldest steambun actually went ahead to give his younger steambun a pat on the shoulder like a big adult facing a child.
âFather said it before, the men of our family must protect the girls in the family. Mother and Little Sister are girls, so me and you must protect them.â
Nodding heavily, Di Jin Tian cries out in compliance using his milky and childish voice: âI am a man, I am a man.â
âNow thatâs a good boy.â Giving Jin Tian a good rub on the head as a prize, âRemember now, if thereâs ever a boy daring enough to come near your sister, break his leg!â
Bai Yan instantly blew up with a plume of black smoke over her own head. Sheâs already seen how Di Cang would get excessively protective of their daughter, and now thereâs also these two rascals going at it. Why does she feel so sorry for her future son-in-law?
Jin Tian didnât find the logic wrong at all though in comparison to his motherâs view. Nodding with enthusiasm, the baby boy now looked on to his older brother with admiration despite how wrong the whole situation was.
âBig Brother, Papa said you are very strong, can you teach me how to get stronger? I also want to cultivate and protect Mother and Ling Yan.â
âYouâre too young right now, wait until youâre all grown up first.â Bai Xiachen says it like a big adult.
Biting his own finger, the little glutton now sounded troubled: âThen⦠when can I start learning from you?â
âMmmâ¦â Caressing his own chin in contemplating, Bai Xiachen apparently didnât think that far ahead and had to take a good moment to come up with an answer. âThree years old. Wait until youâre three and then Iâll allow you to tag along. Right now youâre still an immature baby.â
Bai Yan literally wanted to scream in that second. She almost facepalmed herself because the way her eldest said it right there sounded like heâs also a grown up. In reality, Bai Xiachenâs only a child himself, barely a young teen.
Itâs then right as this poor mother wanted to put a stop to this hilarious and silly conversation, she stopped because her eyes had caught sight of that familiar figure up ahead.
With silver hair, a purple robe, and a face so handsome it makes the world drool, Di Cang has been standing there and leaning against the big old tree for a while now. Itâs obvious this demon king was relishing in this intimate moment between his children and his wife.
