Chapter 1607 “It’s Been So Long Black Turtle (4)”
“……” Bai Xiachen’s grievances almost flooded into a river. For some reason, he’s got this feeling that his precious and most beloved mother has now shifted her love away from himself ever since Bai Yan married Di Cang.
“Di Cang, after we speak to Yi Yi and arrange the rest of things here, we will go back right away.” Bai Yan states this smilingly at her husband.
“Uooohh.” The golden retriever that’s been moping around seemingly sensed the mood and immediately got all sad in the face. He immediately snuggled up to the boy to emphasize what he wanted.
Understanding his friend’s emotion by the physical contact, Bai Xiachen was the first to react and reached out to pat the mutt: “Yellow, when we are not around you must listen to Auntie Yi Yi, perhaps we will be able to meet again in the future.”
“Arff Arff.” Barking with pure sadness now at the confirmation, Yellow didn’t need words to convey his emotions there.
“Yellow, I’ll miss you and Orange (cat) too. Oh right, where’s Orange? I’m leaving already, how come he’s not coming out to say goodbye?”
It’s Di Cang who answers the boy’s question in this case: “I last saw him out chasing after a female cat.”
A bit choky in his voice like he’s also ready to cry since he got beat by a mating cat, the steambun begins to lay down his last message knowing there’s nothing he could do: “Yellow, you say goodbye to Orange for me then, I won’t be able to wait for him to return. You don’t need to see us out either, I won’t be able to take it otherwise…”
After saying this, Bai Xiachen lets go and began to walk away while constantly turning around after a few steps. It’s obvious both kid and dog didn’t want to leave each other behind, yet there’s nothing either party could do in this case. After all, they’re not from the same world.
The following conversation with Bai Yi Yi went as smooth as it could have gone. Although the younger sister didn’t have much confidence in herself just yet at being handed so much influence and power, she nevertheless wanted to try in order to prove to Bai Yan the trust wouldn’t be in vain. That meant regardless of the price she must pay in the path, the young lass would do her upmost to achieve that goal.
Just like that, everything’s set and needed no more interference from the couple at this point. They’re ready to leave, but not before bringing Bai Yi Yi along to help pick up the deceased body that Di Cang was using. That’s the least the demon king could do since he borrowed the guy’s body for so long.
As for the things she got after returning here on Earth, Bai Yan figured its best she waited until they returned to the Celestial Realm before using them. It would be too shocking for the people of this world if it’s too explosive.
Before long after walking up the mountain for a while, Bai Yan soon saw the image of a handsome man wearing a long white garb waiting at the top. He’s smiling at herself and that told the woman all that she needed to know: “Black Turtle, it’s been a long time….”
Bai Yan still doesn’t have any memory of that life from the past, but the connection she shared with this person was all the proof she needed in this case. It’s a kind and familiar connection, something the woman couldn’t quite describe yet couldn’t ignore.
“My Queen, it’s been a long time for me as well…” Black Turtle slowly came before her and stooped down his body to perform a half bending greet.
In that instant, a series of images came flashing back to Bai Yan’s head. It’s a man dressed in a white garb swinging a long white sword, he’s dashing yet gentle even to the enemies he faced, that’s Black Turtle, the proud general under her rule who stood at the peak of a cloud covered mountain.
“Black Turtle,” coming back from her trance after that brief lapse, Bai Yan faintly smiles at him but with even more closeness in the voice, “although I still don’t remember everything just yet, but I do understand…. you are very important to me. Now that you are back, it’s time I brought all of you together. Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, and White Tiger, it’s time you all met again.”
Vermillion Bird mentioned this to her before, if Bai Yan could gather all of them again then she would need to head back to the demon mountain, the bird has something for her.
“Yan Yan, let’s go, we will go back now.” Catching his wife’s hand to lead the way, Di Cang swings his gaze to the man behind himself to signal its time: “Black Turtle, contact State Teacher, you and him will open the portal.”
“Yes, Sire.” Arching his fist, Black Turtle complied without hesitation.
