Chapter 1896 “Reunion (12)”
“Ahumph,” Chu Ran made an awkward cough, his eyes immediately falling upon the tiny body of the pipsqueak, “You can’t say it like that. If my daughter and Bai Xiao does become a pair, they are going to eventually have a son. By then, we might even be able to get closer through their marriage.”
Bai Yan’s face suddenly blackened.
She didn’t want to keep her precious daughter around forever, but she wouldn’t want to let anyone have ideas about her either.
“No!” Bai Xiachen jumps in with forked arms around his waist. Using his body as a shield for his sister, “Sister Yi Yi is marrying my uncle. If they have a kid then that makes him my cousin. A cousin cannot marry another cousin, that’s interbreeding!”
Chu Ran became taken aback by the boy’s firm stance on the subject and turned to the demon queen for detail: “There is such a thing? How come I never heard of it. Is it real?”
Under Chu Ran’s gaze, Bai Yan nodded slowly.
“Blood relatives within three generations cannot be married.”
The premise being related to only blood relatives though!
“Since it’s you saying that then I won’t doubt it.” Chu Ran loosens his frown, “But Xiachen seem to forget his uncle is not from the same biological mother as yours Yan’er, that makes it okay doesn’t it? If worse… I still have Yun Feng….”
When reaching this part, the Holy Lord suddenly paused and got quiet.
“Oh whatever, pretend I didn’t say anything about that boy. Yi Feng won’t ever be able to get married, it’s impossible in this life. I’m better off counting on Yi Yi to give me a grandchild than to rely on that boy.”
Bai Xiachen makes a stupor face at this realization: “Mother, would they be able to get married if cousins aren’t blood related?”
Looking at his son’s aggrieved and pitiful face, Bai Yan didn’t know what else to do but nod. Lying about this subject wouldn’t be good so the hard truth was a must.
“Blood relatives are not allowed to marry, but anything else is fine.”
The steambun got all quiet like he’s contemplating the idea: “Then I don’t care. If Sister Yi Yi gives birth to a boy then he’s my little brother. I will teach him to protect Ling Yan. If he misbehaves then I will break his leg! I will teach him from a young age that cousins can’t get married….”
After so many years of being misguided in all the wrong ways, Bai Xiachen has finally learned what it means to be a teacher. Education must be taught from a young age. Only by teaching them his logic would it become the norm instead of the norm.
“Big Brother,” the pipsqueak chimes in with that innocent voice, “why do you always want to break people’s legs?”
“Ling Yan,” Bai Xiachen presses his hands onto the girl’s shoulder, his voice severe and stern, “those people are all bad inside. They want to abduct you and not let you come home. Don’t you want to see me and Mother?”
Tilting her head in a puzzled manner: “But you and grandfather are saying different things ah…. Grandfather Heavenly told me I mustn’t listen to you and Father. Who do I listen to?”
“Grandfather Heavenly?” Chu Ran got surprised and jumped up, “Yan’er, you saw Yun Feng?”
Bai Yan nodded in confirmation.
“I also found my father by accident, and he’s with my mother now.”
Chu Ran relaxed after hearing this good news: “Those two had it hard all these years. It’s good to learn your parents are finally together. To think the big lady of the Medicine Sect and young master of the Fairy House would have such a tough life….”
