âHe was clearly the one who needed protection back then, but each and every time it was he who shielded me! And then I didnât even say goodbye that year when I fledâ¦. I caused him so much pain, yet he never blamed me for any of itâ¦.â
âDi Cang, I can clearly give him the protection that we lacked back then with my current influence and power, but you knowâ¦. He would rather gain his own so that he can make a peaceful place for me. Thatâs what he saidâ¦.â Pausing with choking grief, âBai Xiao is my brother, my one and only brother! Heâs injured while away from home, how can my heart not ache and worry for him?â
Aching at his wifeâs distress, Di Cang hurries to give that trembling body a hug. âYan Yan, believe in me, I will see to it he returns to us safely!â
After a long while of this sobbing picture, Bai Yan finally regains her composure with eyes of steel plastered across that face. âDi Cang, Iâm going to the Celestial Realm.â
Making a frown: âNow?â
âYes, Iâm going now. My mother and brother might be there right this instant. They are both my family so Iâm going to bring them back home.â
Looking at the womanâs resolute face, Di Cang didnât object to the idea. Just thatâ¦. âCan you give me a bit of time first?â
âDi Cang?â Bai Yan makes a surprised look at her own husband.
âGive me a little more time. Although I canât conquer the entire Celestial Realm for you, but the time will give me room to create a safe haven over on that side for you.â
With deep feelings and tenderness in those eyes, he kissed her on the forehead: âPromise me this. Give me a little more time and I will accompany you to find my mother-in-law and brother-in-law.â
âOkay.â Bai Yan knew her insistence on the matter would only worry this man, therefore she didnât resist. âIâll wait for a while longer and use this period to improve my strength.â
When I break into the Celestial Rank, he wonât need to worry so much anymoreâ¦. Atleast enough to protect those close to me, that should be enough, right?
Despite the reassuring smile coming off of Di Cang face, underneath it all were not the thoughts and feelings of someone with confidence. It looks like the plan must be advanced ahead of time. If Xiaoâer is being attacked then they might be doing it because of me and Yan Yan.
Watching all of this from the sideline, Di Xiao Wan was extremely envious of the teen mentioned in their conversation. So this is the bond of having a sister, itâs so good⦠Why canât I have an older sister like Bai Yan and not this mean old grumpy brother of mine?
âYan Yan, are you tired? Your complexion isnât looking so great.â asked the man whoâs oblivious to his own sisterâs bemoaning.
Nodding: âIâm not sure either, but my bodyâs been feeling sleepy and tired all the time recently. Bring me inside Di Cang, I want to restâ¦.â
This explanation relieved the demon king whoâs already got a lot on his plate. âItâs good that its nothing. Although the bed here canât be compared to the palaceâs, you should still rest on it a little.â
After saying that, Di Cang carefully supported the woman out of the hall like sheâs some sort of frail item that would shatter at the slightest bump.
