Chapter 1239 - Father’s Love (3)
“I have already tried to contain that dark grudge in him before, but it’s clear the method I used is not useful in the end. If this continues then he will become a creature of carnage, only knowing how to kill and nothing more.” Di Cang explains, his brow furrowing deep and hard.
As a woman and as a grandmother, Bai Ning felt great pain that someone so young would have to endure such struggles. This little guy is only seven, why must he bear so much pain on his shoulder?
“Here, help me take care of Xiachen for a bit.” After handing the boy over to the grandmother, Di Cang then strode towards his wife in light steps across the grass.
Due to the sun being directly above the group because of the hour, the light only made that peerless contour of the woman’s face even more magnificent, but this wasn’t the only attracting feature for the demon king. That bump along the woman’s belly was a huge eyecatcher which brought him to the knees.
Under normal circumstances and logically speaking, after Bai Yan suffered this much damage to her body, she should’ve lost the baby inside already. However, in the moment where his hands reached down to touch the fetus, a golden light glowed from within the womb and wowed the troubled husband.
Naturally finding the unborn baby safe and sound was a glorious news to the anticipating father, but he’s also worried but grateful at the same time there’s an unknown force protecting the fetus. It’s abnormal and a sign of greater power at play, and that was something he couldn’t control….
“I will take my wife back to rest first. My subordinates will come later to retrieve the rest of you later.”
Bai Ning was taken aback at first over that message, but she quickly nodded after coming to the fact that it’s for the best. “That… please take care of Yan’er then.”
Not replying, Di Cang first gazed down to the sleeping beauty in his arms before showing a faint smile of comfort: “She is my wife, I will of course love her with my all and take care of her.”
This attitude from her son-in-law had left Bai Ning befuddled with complex emotions.
Originally she didn’t like this man when he appeared, but after witnessing how far he would go for her own daughter, the grandmother could deny her view has changed. She’s starting to accept him from the hearts down.
“Does your shoulder need tending to?” The lady asks after noticing the blood still tricking out of the wound.
Casting a look down at his own shoulder, a cunning smirk escaped the dastardly demon king: “This injury won’t hinder my movement so its fine to leave it as is. Once Xiachen wakes up I will tell him this is done by him. Knowing his personality, my boy will feel guilty and remorseful. By then I can use that as a threat to make him stop competing for Yan’er’s attention with me.”
Bai Ning couldn’t stop the twitching in the corner of her own mouth after hearing that ridiculous reasoning.
Competing for Yan’er’s attention with me?
Is he seriously jealous of his own son?
Nevertheless, Bai Ning’s tense heart did ease up after hearing how relaxed the man was in the way he spoke.
Showing a soft smile of her own: “Then hurry and bring Yan’er back to rest, I will first deal with the matters here before taking Xiachen back with me to find you.”
After that, Di Cang wasted no time and disappeared from the valley, his figure gone and out of view in an instant….
