âAhumph,â Chu Ran made an awkward cough, his eyes immediately falling upon the tiny body of the pipsqueak, âYou canât say it like that. If my daughter and Bai Xiao does become a pair, they are going to eventually have a son. By then, we might even be able to get closer through their marriage.â
Bai Yanâs face suddenly blackened.
She didnât want to keep her precious daughter around forever, but she wouldnât want to let anyone have ideas about her either.
âNo!â Bai Xiachen jumps in with forked arms around his waist. Using his body as a shield for his sister, âSister Yi Yi is marrying my uncle. If they have a kid then that makes him my cousin. A cousin cannot marry another cousin, thatâs interbreeding!â
Chu Ran became taken aback by the boyâs firm stance on the subject and turned to the demon queen for detail: âThere is such a thing? How come I never heard of it. Is it real?â
Under Chu Ranâs gaze, Bai Yan nodded slowly.
âBlood relatives within three generations cannot be married.â
The premise being related to only blood relatives though!
âSince itâs you saying that then I wonât doubt it.â Chu Ran loosens his frown, âBut Xiachen seem to forget his uncle is not from the same biological mother as yours Yanâer, that makes it okay doesnât it? If worse⦠I still have Yun Fengâ¦.â
When reaching this part, the Holy Lord suddenly paused and got quiet.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOh whatever, pretend I didnât say anything about that boy. Yi Feng wonât ever be able to get married, itâs impossible in this life. Iâm better off counting on Yi Yi to give me a grandchild than to rely on that boy.â
Bai Xiachen makes a stupor face at this realization: âMother, would they be able to get married if cousins arenât blood related?â
Looking at his sonâs aggrieved and pitiful face, Bai Yan didnât know what else to do but nod. Lying about this subject wouldnât be good so the hard truth was a must.
âBlood relatives are not allowed to marry, but anything else is fine.â
The steambun got all quiet like heâs contemplating the idea: âThen I donât care. If Sister Yi Yi gives birth to a boy then heâs my little brother. I will teach him to protect Ling Yan. If he misbehaves then I will break his leg! I will teach him from a young age that cousins canât get marriedâ¦.â
After so many years of being misguided in all the wrong ways, Bai Xiachen has finally learned what it means to be a teacher. Education must be taught from a young age. Only by teaching them his logic would it become the norm instead of the norm.
âBig Brother,â the pipsqueak chimes in with that innocent voice, âwhy do you always want to break peopleâs legs?â
âLing Yan,â Bai Xiachen presses his hands onto the girlâs shoulder, his voice severe and stern, âthose people are all bad inside. They want to abduct you and not let you come home. Donât you want to see me and Mother?â
Tilting her head in a puzzled manner: âBut you and grandfather are saying different things ahâ¦. Grandfather Heavenly told me I mustnât listen to you and Father. Who do I listen to?â
âGrandfather Heavenly?â Chu Ran got surprised and jumped up, âYanâer, you saw Yun Feng?â
Bai Yan nodded in confirmation.
âI also found my father by accident, and heâs with my mother now.â
Chu Ran relaxed after hearing this good news: âThose two had it hard all these years. Itâs good to learn your parents are finally together. To think the big lady of the Medicine Sect and young master of the Fairy House would have such a tough lifeâ¦.â
