âYanâer, what are you talking about? Why canât I understand?â Di Cang frowns and embraces his wifeâs hand to reassure her.
Tears flowing down her face, Bai Yanâs eyes looks up with pain and misery: âI obviously went to the Hell Domain to find you, why did I instead go back to the past? This must be the nightmare Suzaku referred toâ¦. Everything I experienced is just an illusion. Di Cang, how can I get out of this? Our sons, our daughter, theyâre all waiting for me. I canât stay here any longer.â
Di Cangâs face showed a flicker of surprise before wrinkling his temple up: âHell Domain? Sons and daughter? Yanâer, the baby in your womb isnât born yet.â
Bai Yan looks down at her belly where thereâs a prominent bulge showing.
Di Cang doesnât know anything, if he knew, he willâ¦.
âDi Cang, I need to tell you the truth. Everything thatâs happening now, itâs all in the past. I knew Azure Dragon and them would die. I tried to change their fates, I tried to save them, but each and every single time I failedâ¦. We canât keep doing this, this isnât real, and I⦠I need to find you!â
Di Cang got quiet, leaving the whole air stale and suffocating.
After a long time, the manâs low and hoarse voice sounded: âThis is the reason for your personality change?â
âYes.â
âYanâer, can you tell me the futureâ¦. In our next life, do we have children together?â
âYes,â Bai Yan replied softly, her eyes were very gentle, âXiachen is very good and kind. Ling Yan is well-behaved and sensible. Although Jin Tian eats a lot and is greedy with his food, heâs showing all the qualities of a fine man. Theyâre all very excellent. Di Cang, theyâre all waiting for me, I must wake up from this nightmare.â
This dream had been so real that Bai Yanâs thought she traveled back in time. If not for Azure Dragonâs death in the last loop, she wouldnât have come to her senses and remembered the truth.
âHow can I help?â Di Cangâs gaze fell upon his wifeâs body and firmly states his will. Though reluctance, heâs obviously not going to keep this up if itâs true.
âI donât know, I just know that I and the baby in my womb canât live longâ¦â Bai Yan slowly closed her eyes.
In the previous life, she had died in Di Cangâs arms after fleeing the battlefield when Azure Dragon acted as their rear guard. At that point, the baby shouldâve been around five months old, which was around this time as well with a slightly different change in environment.
Di Cang hugged his wife even harder: âI will never let you disappear, never!â
Even if I have to give up everything else, I would keep her safe.
Bai Yan slowly closed her eyes to take comfort in her manâs arm after getting the support.
Is it that after my life is over, the nightmare too will end?
This way, I will be able to return to the Hell Domainâ¦.
âDonât worry Di Cang, our bond wonât end. In the next life, I will wait for you!â
â¦â¦
The fated day finally arrives not long afterwards.
The masters of the Demon Realm were slaughtered by the Celestial Realm, and Di Cang had yet to return from the expedition, thus causing Bai Yan to rush into the belly of the beast where everything occurred. Even if the cost was her life, the demon queen didnât hesitateâ¦.
