Chapter 1253 - Dead (4)”
Chapter 1253 “Dead (4)”
“How can this be? Quickly tell me. If Lan Yue passed away then how was your childhood….”
Bai Yan didn’t keep anything hidden and went over the details in full to her biological mother. From the happy times according to her memory, and the sad and difficult ones where she had to run away from that household.
Bai Ning naturally became outraged over the maltreatment of her daughter by that scum of a stepfather, but the woman’s anger quickly turned to pain and regret. There’s no doubt in her mind that Lan Yue would’ve taken good care of Bai Yan, just that she never expected her dear friend to pass away so early on in her years. As a result, she could be said to have indirectly pushed the young girl into suffering so much wrong during her youth!
I should’ve kept her with me that day, why did I decide to leave her behind!
“But you don’t have to feel sorry for me Mother, even if I suffered a lot in those years, I still had my brother Xiao’er by my side. Now I also have Di Cang and Xiachen so I’m very happy.”
Upon mentioning her own brother who has always stood by her side, Bai Yan’s lips inexplicably curved into a heartwarming smile. Sure, they haven’t seen each other in a while after they went their separate ways that day, but this sister knows her younger brother had also come to the Celestial Realm. As long as they’re walking on the same land then they are bound to reunite some day!
“That Bai Xiao is indeed a good child. I hope I can meet him someday and even take him as my godson.” Bai Ning says that with a slight chuckle.
In those years it was Bai Xiao who persistently stood by Bai Yan’s side so the amount of merit he earned with Bai Ning’s heart was monumental. She couldn’t even begin to imagine otherwise if there wasn’t this emotional support.
“Your husband is also pretty good. That day your injury should’ve been lethal thanks to that Keeper Ling, but your husband saved you with his essence blood….”
“What did you say?”
Seeing the urgency, Bai Ning didn’t keep her daughter hanging and mistakenly thought it was because she now knows about the demon king’s identity. “I already know he’s a demon. Don’t worry, I’m not like those worldly people out there who can’t see past the norm, not to mention he went that far for your sake. If I don’t accept him then its me who’s in the wrong.”
She didn’t like Di Cang before because she didn’t want to have Bai Yan be hurt by a bad man. Now that she’s confirmed that’s not the case, there’s no reason left to hate him.
Pale in the face, Bai Yan presses for more info despite the reassurance: “How much blood did he bleed out?”
“Probably, about half a bowl?”
Boom!
Like a thunderbolt striking down at her head, Bai Yan’s mind was blown away as her legs stumbled back a few steps.
For a demon and demonic beast, their essence blood was equivalent to their life.
For example, if a demon could live for a thousand years then they would undoubtedly suffer greatly in their lifespan. Now imagine half a bowl’s worth! That would be lethal to some of the weaker demons!
That idiot, he really doesn’t want to live anymore does he?
“Please wait Mother, I’ll be right back very soon.” Gnashing her teeth in frustration, Bai Yan didn’t wait another second and dashed for the exit where her husband was waiting under a peach blossom tree.
“How did the talk with Mother-in-law go?” Oblivious to the mistake he himself did, Di Cang asks with a dashing smile that only got enhanced due to the pink petals slowly drifting onto his robe.
Running up fast to choke onto his collar, Bai Yan sounded furious: “Di Cang, did you use your own essence blood to save me?”
“Did Mother-in-law tell you that?”
