Next day.
The morning light brightly shone through the crack in the windowsill, the air still lingering with the scent of the two occupants wrestle in the night. This brought comfort to the slumbering mistress of this bed-chamber. Nevertheless, it was about time she awoke from her rest after noticing the missing partner that shouldâve been holding her body.
âMother, can I come in?â Just then, a young voice drifted through the closed door and sent her into a panic. Sheâs still drowsy over the long exercise throughout the night so the demon queen didnât expect this sudden intrusion.
âWait!â Bai Yan hurriedly shouted as she scrambled to get out of bed and got dressed. Sheâs covered in sexual marks with that birth suit of hers so it wouldnât do at all before her child. Coughing after covering all the evidence, âCome in.â
The door swung open following the permission and in came the steambun. Heâs dressed in the luxurious robe of royalty, giving him the air of supremacy that could quickly draw the attention of the opposite sex.
âMother, Father had gone out without me! He woke me up in the middle of the night and told me to pass on a message to you that heâs going to find something for Ling Yanâs bead.â
Bai Yan appears stunned in the face over this bombshell.
Di Cang went looking for something to help Ling Yan? Did he already know what to do? Why didnât he tell me yesterday? If I knew, I would have gone with him.
Tightly clenching her fist, she inhales deeply to calm her deteriorating mood: âWhat else did your father say?â
âOh, uh, he said not to look for him, he wonât say and you wonât be able to go on your own. But donât worry, Father said he will be fine so Iâm sure heâs not in danger.â The young voice of her boy only made the demon queen sadder and bittersweet inside.
It seems that the guy knew she would follow him, hence his reasoning for leaving without a word.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âXiachen, go help me summon First Elder here.â She narrowed her eyes in after giving this instruction.
Bai Yan wants to get more information. Aside from Di Cang and State Teacher, First Elder had the most information since heâs one of the few demons remaining from that era.
âMother, itâs useless, First Elder also followed Father when they left. The only ones left to protect the Demon Realm are the four sacred beasts. I know Suzaku (phoenix) doesnât know anything since I asked them about the matter before coming here. They donât know where Father went either.â Bai Xiachen hung his head in frustration, that expression pitiful and sad.
âDidnât you ask him yesterday?â Bai Yan asks for more details since her son was the last to see her husband.
âI did askâ¦â Bai Xiachen puffs his cheeks up in a pout, âI did ask and refused to let him go unless he takes us with him. But guess what, Father knocked me out and ran away on his own. Mother, you say, am I really his son?â
Why do I always feel like Iâm adoptedâ¦.?
And itâs the one-for-one type of adoption.
Like how Father woke me up in the middle of the night just so he wonât disturb Mother. Then thereâs the part about him always tossing me aside so I wonât pester him and Motherâs time together. Worse, he actually knocked me out when I asked him where heâs goingâ¦.
âYour father wouldnât let you go with him for fear that you would be in danger. I sense that the place heâs heading to would be dangerous.â
Otherwise, Di Cang wouldnât have left without a word to me in personâ¦.
Bai Yanâs heart grew more and more worried after thinking about this. However, she didnât dare to show it in front of her boy.
