People came and went on along the street like usual in the day, but this time around their vision was accompanied by the image of Bai Xiachen walking past.
Fortunately the boy had been gone for a few years, thus his face resulted in him not being recognized due to his growth. Otherwise, who knows how long it would take before he made it back to his motherâs side.
Outside the Lan House, Bai Yan was already waiting there at the doorsteps when the steambun finally appeared within her view. With a brilliant smile, the demon queen warmly welcomes her eldestâs with a hug.
âDid you say farewell to Wang Xiaopeng?â
Bai Xiachen lightly pursed his lips and nodded, âMhmm.â
âYouâre not happy?â Bai Yan furrowed her brows and continued to ask.
âIâm going to miss this placeâ¦â Bai Xiachen raised his tearful eyes, âMother, thereâs too many acquaintances here. Thereâs Grandshius, Grandfathers, Aunties, and Unclesâ¦. Thereâs so many people that Iâm going to miss.â
Bai Yan understood where her boy was coming from and gently comforted him with a pat on the back: âIn the future when all the dust has settled, I will accompany you back here, okay?â
She and Bai Xiachen were different after all.
Bai Yanâs originally from earth, whether it be the Holy Land or Liu Huo Kingdom, itâs not the homeland where she grew up.
But the steambun was from these parts. He grew up in the Holy Land and spent a good while in the Liu Huo Kingdom. Itâs unsurprising that heâs holding attachment to the human world.
Sure enough, Bai Xiachenâs eyes finally lit up as he donned a brilliant smile: âOkay, when Father returns, we will resolve all the issues with those enemies. Afterward, I want to stay at the Holy Land for awhile before returning here.â
Bai Yan smiled lightly and spoke in a soft cooing voice: âThen letâs hurry back to the Demon Realm. Maybe your father is already waiting for us at home.â
âMmm.â The steambun nodded obediently as he snuggled intimately into Bai Yanâs arms. Her bodily scent alone was enough to make him particularly relaxed so this was his comfort zone. âTruth is, anywhere you are Mother is where my home isâ¦.â
Bai Yanâs heart trembled without a noticeable trace, but her eyes were already swelling with a thin layer of fluid. She couldnât deny being emotionally moved by that last comment.
Before I knew it, heâs already up to my waist in height. Heâs grown so muchâ¦..
âMistress.â Just as Bai Yan lets go of her boy, Hua Luo and Fang Yu Feng also rushed over from the crowd and stood in obedience to the demon queen.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAfter I went back yesterday, I have selected a group of excellent talents to leave with us today.â Hua Luo the loyal female subordinate charmingly reports. True to her name, she has a smile like a flower.
âAlso, that Mu Qing Song of the Music Valley I mentioned yesterday, sheâs died last nightâ¦.â
Mu Qing Songâs dead?
Bai Yanâs expression was indifferent to the name: âI understand. Since youâve both brought the people you want then we will depart now.â
Mu Qing Songâs death was of no importance to the demon queen. That woman was no more than a blip in her life, hardly worthy to even remember the ladyâs name if not for her subordinate bringing it back up again. Strangely enough though, why would that person suddenly die after her visit?
âGrandmother, Grandfather,â Bai Yan slowly turned around and looked at the gathered members of the Lan House behind themselves, âBig Cousin, Second Cousin, Xiaoyun, Iâm leaving now. All of you must take care of yourselves until we meet againâ¦. I donât know when that will be, but that day wonât be too far off.â
