Chapter 1281 “Blood for Blood (1)”
“Yan’er!” Finding the increasingly poor mood around his wife’s face, Di Cang knew he had to do something. Hugging her to give comfort: “You don’t have to be too sad, after all…. they are supposed to be one and the same to begin with. He won’t disappear like you think, he will only live on within Xiachen as one being.”
Biting her own lips, Bai Yan still didn’t like how things are turning out: “Other than that, is there no more way?”
Having her abandon this little guy was just… too difficult for her to accept!
Di Cang understood why his wife was acting this way. It’s not like he’s heartless towards his own child, he too would like to find a alternative method if possible. However, he’s been searching and investigating for quite some time already and this was likely the best option they had at hand.
Shuddering when she got no answer, Bai Yan hugs her boy again and closes those pained eyes.
“Di Cang, if we leave Xiachen in this state, will he be in any danger?” she asks again after a long moment of silence.
Shaking his head: “No, there won’t be any as long as Xiachen’s soul remains intact. Right now he’s only sealed within that body and gave control to the wisp of grudge. Other than the loss of freedom, there’s nothing else that’s going to put him in peril.”
Slightly dropping her head, a faint smile carves itself onto the woman’s face.
Xiachen, if it were you, what would you choose?
Maybe, you would also like to… give him a chance!
“I don’t believe there’s no other way Di Cang. I’m sure if I look hard enough then there’s going to be a mean to allow them both to exist in this world on their own without bringing harm to one another!”
Seeing the insistence and determined face of his wife, Di Cang could only sigh and accept the plea. Nodding: “Alright, if you want to leave him as is for now then I’ll help you.”

The request undoubtedly brought happiness to the little boy who never once left Bai Yan’s arms. Even though his eyes are still the color of that bloodthirsty red, it’s nevertheless full of a warmth and kindness now when staring up at Bai Yan’s face. At the same, it also gave off an uncomfortable strong intent like he’s trying to engrave the woman’s contour into his eyes so that he would never forget it.
Sure enough, right as the two parents were conversing on what to do next and freed the little boy, the ghoul version of Bai Xiachen had snuck over to one side and pulled out the bottle of blood he hid inside his coat.
By the time Bai Yan realizes what was happening, it was already too late. To her horror, she witnessed the boy popping the cork and drinking that shiny red fluid down in one full swing.
“No!” She screams with agonizing pain, tears stretching out into a streak as she dived over in a vain attempt to stop this.
Sadly for Bai Yan, all was done by the time she managed to grapple the bottle from those little hands. She knew its over, whatever plan or wish she had planned to save both boys were forever gone.
“Mother, perhaps if not for you then I would never have awoken from that state I was in.” Wiping the trickle of blood still lingering around the corner of his lip, he continues to speak as the effects began to show itself.
First it was the harshness around his voice, then the redness in his eyes fading. “Back then you sacrificed yourself in order to save the Demon Realm. As your son, I can’t put a blemish on your record either. Mother, please always remember me, I know I won’t….”
Damn cutting onion….. !!!!
