âHave you been in there before?â
âYes, Iâve been to the fantasy world, and Iâve been there twice beforeâ¦â
Once was a thousand years ago, before encountering his wifen/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Another time⦠it was a hundred years ago.
Every time he leaves it would require him passing the requirements set upon him by that world. Therefore, Di Cang didnât have absolute confidence in predicting the dangers or hardship that might befall those who entered.
âItâs precisely because Iâve been there that I know the horror inside that fantasy world. And⦠aside from me who entered from the Demon Realm, everyone else who entered it has never returnedâ¦â
He did not want to scare Bai Yan, but lying regarding a matter of this proportion would be incredibly stupid. Furthermore, keeping this detail from his owns sister and Dragony would be even more foolish since those two are going to be experiencing it first hand.
âBig Brother, you need to stop scaring me,â Di Xiao Wan makes a reluctant smile, âI must go forward with this. Itâs my only chance to grow.â
Dragony echoed the same opinion from her side, âIâm going too. Iâm not afraid of anything, and I believe I can come back.â
âVery well, if thatâs what both of you have decided then get ready to go right awayâ¦.â Bai Yan shows a bittersweet face, âIf those three kids find out that the both of you are going to such a dangerous place then they will certainly try to stop you. Maybe Xiachen would even follow you into that fantasy world.â
Di Xiao Wan promptly puffs up her chest to make a strong appearance: âBig Brother, I will go back and pack my things. Later, have First Elder come over at night to pick us up. Me and Dragony can depart through the thick of night to avoid being detected by the kids. And if Ling Yan and Jin Tian ask the next morning, just tell them we went to look for State Teacherâs reincarnation as an excuse.â
Dragony nodded in agreement: âMother, please tell Brother Xiachen that I am protecting Auntie during this period. When I return, I will have incredible powers to protect everyone, including himâ¦.â
Bai Yanâs throat felt like thereâs a rock inside there, choking her and strangling her of air. Sheâs so sad and hurt by her inability to do more, that her family would have to endure such hardships.
Di Cang seems to have read his wifeâs emotions then and promptly pulled her into an embrace. âDonât worry, theyâll be find. Trust in them that they will come back alive and well.â
Bai Yan immediately shot a look to her man: âDonât think I didnât see it, you are also worried about them.â
This guy is too dishonest. He clearly worries about them as much as I do, but heâs still trying to comfort me and act like itâs fineâ¦.
Di Cang bursts out laughing before giving his wife a kiss on the lip, âThere wonât be many dangers as long as Dragony is there. Itâs okay to worry, but you mustnât let worry dictate your judgment.â
Bai Yan couldnât argue with that and got all quiet as she watched those two gradually disappear from her view.
âOh right, Di Cang, you mention something about a red bead beforeâ¦. I know where it is.â Only after Di Xiao Wan and Dragonyâs departure did Bai Yan recall what they were discussing.
Raising an eyebrow: âHave you seen it?â
âYes, the bead is in fact sitting quietly inside Ling Yanâs heart right now. I only learned of this recentlyâ¦â Bai Yan face showed a high level of concern, âDo you remember that day when she went missing on the Demon Mountain?â
