Chapter 1878 “Di Xiao Wan’s Decision (9)”
Di Cang face changed suddenly, “Go on.”
“It was that day. Someone put the bead into Ling Yan’s body…”
Following was Bai Yan’s experience in the Heavenly Domain and the step by step of how she discovered their daughter’s condition. The story also includes the matter of her father Yun Feng becoming Heavenly Flame.
Even if the whole story got shortened by quite a lot, Di Cang nevertheless got the jest of things.
“Yan Yan, let’s go check on Ling Yan, I have to make sure the bead in endangering her health!”
“Okay.” Bai Yan pursed her lips and nodded.
Subsequently, the pair quickly left the room and headed for where the children were staying.
……
Inside the kid’s room, Bai Xiachen sat near the head of the bed as his hand gently pats the sister’s head, his mouth humming a lullaby the whole time to coax the pipsqueak asleep.
Di Ling Yan was indeed a little tired after the long journey. Rubbing her eyes, the child soon fell into a doze after the first yawn.
Unfortunately, right at the moment where all was peaceful, the door to the room was swung open, sending the boy into alert. Thankfully Bai Xiachen recognized it was his parents so his heart promptly eased up.
“Mother, Father, how come both of you are here? Ling is sleeping…”
Not even a word to explain, Di Cang grabbed his son and threw the boy at the window. He didn’t want any obstruction to his view when sending out his feelers for probing.
Sure enough, the demon king found the mentioned red bead inside his daughter’s heart. It’s lying quietly there with flames surrounding the surface. Thankfully there are no signs of it exploding so that’s a relief.
“Father, are you looking at the bead inside my body?” Di Ling Yan shows a playful smile after being woken back up, “You don’t have to worry, I can sense the bead won’t hurt me.”
“Bead?”
Bai Xiachen’s lovely face immediately turned into a frown, “What bead? Mother, Father, what is she talking about?”
Explaining to the steambun was Bai Yan herself: “Inside Ling Yan’s heart is a red flaming bead. I’m afraid it might hurt her, that’s why I had your father come inspect it.”
At that moment, one could visibly see the color drain from the boy’s face. He’s very agitated and rattled by the news.
“Bead? Why does Ling Yan have a bead inside her heart? Her body is so small and frail, there’s no way she can withstand a burning flame inside her heart!”
No wonder Jin Tian mentioned his sister is different. It must be because of the influence from that bead!
Although Bai Xiachen does find the ferocious-looking side of his little sister to be quite cute, however, in comparison to her well-being, any cuteness would need to stand aside.
Retracting his senses from the girl’s body, Di Cang took a moment to gather his words: “For the time being it won’t have any visible impact, nor do I feel any malice from the bead. Later though, Yan Yan, I can’t say for certain. We need to find a way to take it out no matter what.”
Nothing was certain in this world, this was especially true if it’s something beyond their understanding. Leaving it to chance that the bead wouldn’t bring harm was completely out of the question, nor a price he could afford to pay….
