Chapter 1277 - Di Cang’s Arrival (3)
In light of those murderous eyes, Bai Yan didn’t feel fear at all. She’s the mother of this boy so the only thing she wants to do right now was to smile at him and give him a hug.
“I know you want me to hold you, I’m here now so come to my arms. But you and your brother are both my children, and I know you are a good child at heart, so…. can you tell me where he went?”
Di Cang mentioned it to her before, this Xiachen was the previous incarnation of her own unborn child, making this grudge effectively her own baby.
Despite the plea and effort to rouse a conversation, this version of the little steambun didn’t reply, only slowly walking over with that expressionless face and dangerous looking set of eyes that frightened even the strongest of hearts. Even so, despite all these warning flags of danger, Bai Yan didn’t flinch or cower, she only wanted to reach out to give him a hug, which she did try to do once they were only a few feet apart.
However, it’s right at this crucial moment that a beam of purplish spark came shooting down from the sky. Next thing the woman knew was that she has found herself in the arms of her own husband.
“OuuuHHHH!” The celestial fox instantly had its fur raised as soon as it saw Di Cang’s peerless face. The behavior of the little creature was similar to someone stepping on its tail because it completely ignored its own injury then and ran for the peak.
At this stage Bai Yan didn’t have the attention or energy left to worry about the fox’s departure. Stiffly asking the man holding herself: “Di Cang, what are you doing here?”
“If I didn’t come then how are you supposed to take care of yourself? He’s not our son anymore. Once he’s possessed by that grudge, he will no longer recognize any of us!”
Bai Yan knew that of course, she’s not foolish or blind to the fact that her boy’s condition are spiraling out of control, but… but it’s still her son!
“I can handle this,” raising her hand, she pushes Di Cang aside so that she could look at her boy again. Smiling in the face, “Child, don’t be afraid and come to me, I will protect you.”
Bai Xiachen still didn’t utter a single word, only staring straight at Di Cang’s figure. Then as if able to sense the hostility towards itself, the little figure started to release its killing intent before he suddenly pounced at his old man’s throat.
Kill!
Kill everyone!
Di Cang’s expression darkened at this picture. Nevertheless, the only reaction he did was to sidestep and narrowly avoided the punch.
“Di Cang!”
Seeing how the two males of his life are about to go at each other’s throat, Bai Yan also lost it. Without thinking, she threw herself in between them both.
Bang!
That punch heavily hits into her stomach, causing blood to spew out of her mouth for the third time today.
“Yan’er!” Exclaiming with a face so white it’s frightening, Di Cang quickly rushes up to catch the collapsing woman, “Why did you block it? This little thing is not my opponent!”
Coughing as she tried to speak, Bai Yan somehow manages to struggle back despite her terrible state, “I’m fine, you don’t have to worry.”
Besides, she doesn’t want them to fight….
Meanwhile on the other side, Bai Xiachen’s bloodthirsty eyes had stopped locking onto the demon king, instead it’s fixated on his own little fist. It’s clear that something was stirring inside his heart because it looks like incredible pain was going through that face right now.
