Chapter 1735 “Encounter (2)”
“It’s going to be alright Ling Yan, mother is here and will always protect you. Tell me what happened, okay?”
Watery still in the eye, the baby girl sobs some more and starts explaining despite the hiccups: “I-I don’t know, I don’t know anything, I-I only feel very uncomfortable inside… Mother, I want hug, hug me please….”
“Okay, don’t cry anymore, mother here will keep holding you.” Allowing her daughter’s body to squirm closer until those tiny arms are firmly wrapped around her neck, Bai Yan’s face showed pain as she patted that back to comfort the baby.
“Mother, is Ling Yan hungry?” Jin Tian the little glutton suggests from one side while biting his own thumb.
In this baby boy’s view, his twin must be hungry because he also wants to cry whenever he’s hungry.
It’s my fault, I didn’t leave any food for her.
Think of this, the little glutton’s head hung low in a dejected manner, those eyes full of guilt and anger at himself.
“Mother,” Bai Xiachen seemed to recall something important then, “Ling Yan told me those lightning clouds in the sky is similar to the ones that hit Uncle Winger. Could it be that he’s in trouble?”
Winger the bird man fought to the death in order to protect the baby girl, that’s why in her heart that person was akin to family. Coupled with the fact that she used her own blood to save the poor guy, it’s no wonder she’s built up a connection with him.
Bai Yan’s expression undoubtedly showed a change after hearing that long-forgotten name. In light of herself not doing much for Winger a millennium ago, the guy went through huge obstacles like breaking out of that prison in order to find herself. Yet that hope and ordeal only got rewarded with a imposter like Yun Ruo Xi using her amulet as deception. There’s no denying it, she’s had a hand in causing all the pain the bird man has endured over the years….
“Xiachen, you stay behind and watch your sister, I’ll go with your father and look.” Handing the girl to her eldest, “Di Cang, let’s go.”
“Okay.” Di Cang’s frown showed he didn’t like the idea but complied anyways. He’s never one to reject his wife’s wishes after all.
……
In another patch of land, Winger’s body laid lifelessly atop of a pool of blood like he’s truly gone from this world. In light of this, the thunder clouds in the sky never dissipate as if it wanted to destroy his very soul before it would recede.
When Bai Yan and Di Cang arrived in this area after following the noise, this was the dreadful picture they saw. Immediately and without hesitation, the demon queen loosened her grip around the husband’s hand in order to rush over to give aid.
“Careful!” Di Cang grabs hold of his wife suddenly and pulled her back in the nick of time as the flash struck down and left a devastating crater in her former spot.
As displeased as he might be at being disregarded due to another man, the demon king never once acts carelessly when it came to his wife.
“Yan Yan, are you hurt anywhere?” He nervously examines her for any signs of injury.
