âInjured? Do you think those weaklings can hurt me?â Di Cang sneered, his eyes full of disdain.
Bai Yanâs heart became more and more uncomfortable: âYou think I canât see it? Did you use any method to forcibly increase your strength? You suffered a backlash didnât you? Otherwise, with your character, you wouldnât have left with me so quickly without making a mess first.â
Di Cang was stunned. Looking down at the girl in front of himself, thereâs a mist of confusion that he couldnât quite pinpoint.
Bai Yan took a few steps back with a hint of guiltiness. This guy, did he notice something?
For a long time, the demon king didnât move and simply stood there. Then suddenly, he chuckled softly before pinching Bai Yanâs nose like a boyfriend spoiling their girlfriend, âGirl, when did you know me so well? If I didnât know better, I would think youâre probably⦠you didnât get changed out with someone else by those from the Celestial Realm did you?â
Slightly upset at the very idea that she would be a doppelganger, the lady stomps her foot and looked away: âAnd why not?â
Sheâs not exactly the same person from a thousand years ago so her personality would naturally be different. If Di Cang grows suspicious then thatâs normal.
Unexpectedly, instead of being alarmed, the man abruptly pulled her hand over and placed it along his chest where she could hear his thumping heartbeat.
âWithout you, I would be dead here. Do you hear how much its dancing because of you? How can I not know you are my Yanâer?â
Bai Yan threw herself into the demon kingâs arm right then there. To be confessed with such heartfelt words would make any lady flutter, let alone a version of her husband from way past. Itâs making her feel like a virgin maiden thatâs being wooed all over again.
âGirl, today is Chu Yi Godâs marriage date, donât you want to go stop it?â Di Cang got quite awkward and stiff by the hug.
Shaking her head, âIâm not going.â
âWhy?â Di Cangâs eyes pricked up in surprise, âAlthough I have always wanted you to be my woman, butâ¦. I also donât want to take advantage of this moment just to win you over. I have my pride, and my pride wonât allow me to stoop to such low means. If you think I want you to do this as repayment then you donât need to.â
âNo, thatâs not it. You are injured, and those people will likely be waiting for us if we go. Why should we willingly jump into their trap.â Bai Yan lifts a finger top stop him from speaking by placing it on his lip.
Flailing his arms up like a clueless dote, Di Cang didnât expect this act from the girl who always behaved so proper and decent before. Itâs sending him up into the clouds to the level where he forgot the pain in his bloodied waist.
âSilly lass,â Di Cang eventually came back to his senses and smiled, âthose people canât do anything to me. Can it beâ¦. You donât believe in my strength? If I can take you out then that means I can also protect you.â
From out of the blue, Bai Yan bursts out into a laughing fit. Her smile was bright and shining, causing the whole area to glow due to her existence.
âOh Di Cang, you are such a silly guy you know. Chu Yi God gave me up for the sake of the Celestial Realm, why would I care about someone like that anymore after that? He can go ahead and marry whoever he likes.â She wraps her hand around his, that face looking up with longing, âI, on the other hand, want to marry youâ¦.â
