If⦠if only she doesnât hate me, even if that means she wonât remember me, itâs still better that wayâ¦.
Slowly opening his eyes, Chu Yi Godâs face actually seemed particularly sad and lonely at this moment.
â¦â¦
Back over in the peach blossom forest, Dragonyâs tear dropping cry continues to reverberate across this landscape with no end in sight. Zheng Qi (first) and the others werenât doing so well either, their faces were all full of sadness.
âWhat are you all doing here?â This abrupt intrusion of familiarity instantly catches their attention.
Itâs a woman wearing a beautiful red dress. Though some parts are obviously torn and hurriedly mended with some threads, it still couldnât ruin that magnificent contour.
âMother!â
Bai Yan was just in the middle of making a confused and surprised face at the group when the small little lump of tender flesh threw himself at her stomach. Because of this, she nearly couldnât catch him and fell over.
âMother, I was so scaredâ¦.â The boyâs hand tightens around her waist as if the very thought of letting go would mean losing his precious mother. âI thought you wouldnât come back anymore and leave me alone here.â
All pitiful as he looks up, the boy had nothing left of that darkness from earlier, only the deep level of fear he felt.
âDid I scare you just now?â Seeing the mirror all shattered on one side, she didnât need to guess what happened while she wasnât around. Tightly hugging the poor steambun, she allows her own bodyâs warmth to sooth that frightened heart: âDonât worry Son, I wonât leave you.â
âReally?â
Perhaps the shock and possibility of losing Bai Yan was just too strong that the little guy actually showed distrust in the face.
âLook, didnât I come back as promised?â Picking up the suspicious look coming from her own boy, the woman hurries to spread those arms out to show sheâs alive and well.
Though the suspicious gaze didnât completely dissipate but the explanation was enough to calm him enough to let go of that iron grip. âMother, you must take me along no matter where you go, okay? I am not a baggage. I can help and not make trouble too.â
âOh my baby,â lifting the kid up to pat his back, âthe Holy Domain really isnât suitable for you, and not to mention Iâm back am I not? Donât worry Xiachen. If one day mother here ends up in the Underworld then I will fight my way back to you, believe me okay?â
Making a stubborn shake of his little head, Bai Xiachen clearly didnât agree to this idea: âI wonât let Mother go to the Underworld alone. Even if you do, I will also jump in there and force them to back off until weâre home again.â
âOkayâ¦.â that comment literally melts her heart.
Indeed, how could she refuse such a wonderful thing when her sonâs so sensible? In this life the greatest choice sheâs ever made was to give birth to this little guy when all the world went against the idea.
