Di Cangâs sight followed his sonâs gaze and landed on that magnificent figure of his wife. Immediately, that stern and lecturing face disappeared, replaced by a warm and gentle light flowing forward from within.
âYouâre backâ¦â
Bai Yan didnât respond to her husbandâs tender words though; instead, she scanned the battlefield to take in everything thatâs happening. Then as soon as her eyes fell upon the teen thatâs been covered in blood, the demon queenâs composure crumbled and got all anxious,
âXiachen, how are you, are you hurt anywhere?â She grabs his shoulder and nervously examined him from top to bottom.
Blooming with the brightest smile that could overshadow the most dire of nights, the boy finally revealed a happiness heâs been withholding since that dreadful day: âDonât worry Mother, these bloodstains are all other peoples. See, Iâm perfectly fine.â
But even if the steambun said that to assure his mother, Bai Yanâs heart didnât settle and continued her examination. Only when sheâs confirmed his condition to its fullest does she relent.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Thank goodness heâs alright.
No one knows this but the demon queenâs heart nearly popped out of her own chest there when she saw the bloodstained-looking sight of her eldest son. In all her years, sheâs never allowed the steambun to be harmed, not ever.
Di Cang continued to wait from his spot, but after being repeatedly ignored, this dominant man finally grew irritated and thought exercising his own son so he would buzz off at his important reunion.
âYan Yan.â Reaching out with a hand, the demon king tyrannically brings his wife into his embrace to show whoâs in charge. âYou donât have to be afraid. If Iâm here, nothing will happen to him.â
In actual fact, Di Cang believed that a boy getting hurt once in a while didnât amount to anything, hence his decision to send the steambun into battle. Besides, his focus never left the boy during the actual fighting. Even if Bai Xiachen did get into lethal danger, he wouldâve intervened at the last moment to ensure his safety.
âItâs good that everythingâs alrightâ¦â Bai Yanâs mood finally calmed down after that statement. Leaning her head in against her husbandâs chest, she felt secure and happy after being away for so long.
âDi Cang, our children are my wife, all three of themâ¦.â
Theyâre her driving force. Only by becoming stronger would she be able to preserve their peace.
âFather, Mother is likely tired, you should take her back for rest after such a long arduous journey. I will take care of my little brother and sister during this period.â
Bai Xiachen couldnât ignore the heartache in his own chest after seeing how exhausted his own mother has become.
Mother is already very tired, and I scared her with my appearance just now. If she doesnât go back and rest then she might really faintâ¦.
Di Cang didnât argue with that logic because he felt the same way. Picking up his wife into a princess hold, the demon king slowly strode towards the palace.
âBig Sister, can you play with me?â Itâs unknown when this occurred but while everyone was busy primarily watching the departing backs of the two love birds, Ji Tian the little glutton had somehow found his way over to Ji Songâs side and tugged at her sleeve. Heâs all smiles and hopeful in his chubby face.
Ji Song who came here for the first time naturally felt intimidated by the new environment. However, this sudden intrusion onto her personal space by a grinning baby boy left her all uncomfortable and awkward. Nevertheless, she quickly pulled her hand away and stepped back.
