Chapter 1872 “Di Xiao Wan’s Decision (3)”
The pipsqueak forks her hands around the waist and gets all discontent: “You are not even my height so you must be a little brother. If you grow taller than me then I will admit you’re bigger than me.”
Moli found himself unable to retort against that logic. First looking down at himself, then at Di Ling Yan’s superior body size, he promptly deflated due to it being the truth.
Is it my fault that I’m not taller? But I’ve clearly lived for many years ah….
“Dragony, she’s bullying me~” Moli turns to tug at the dragoness’s sleeve for help, his face all wronged and pitiful. Due to how small and chubby he was in his human form, the piggy was so darn cute that it’s a sin not to cuddle him.
Bai Xiachen reacted instantly to this picture. For some reason beyond his understanding, the demon prince didn’t feel well inside over the piggy entangling himself with Dragony.
Maybe it’s… because I’ve taken Dragony as my real sister, that’s why I don’t want a stinking boy by her side.
Bai Xiachen’s finally let up over that pretentious reasoning. Immediately, he shot that intimidating stare towards Moli who did no wrong in this situation. “You keep your distance from Dragony.”
Moli naturally didn’t understand what he did so his already wronged heart became even sadder. “Why?”
“Dragony is still young, that’s why I must protect her. You are a boy, and boys will try to abduct her.”
This Moli is too sticky, often wrapping himself behind Dragony’s back. Doesn’t he know the difference between man and woman? The stinking brat will probably follow her to the toilet too if he could!
“What is abduction?” Moli blinks his eyes in a puzzled manner.
Bai Xiachen instantly deflated as the air squeezed out of him. “You wanting to protect Dragony is a good thing, but you are too sticky and clingy to her. It’s making me doubt your motives for something else. Like right now, the palace won’t have any danger that could possibly harm her. Why do you keep following her everywhere with that in mind? Not to mention, your strength is nowhere close to being as strong as hers. How are you supposed to protect her then?”
Moli scratched the back of his head, finding the logic of the princely steambun reasonable.
Nevertheless…..
He still doesn’t want to leave Dragony knowing he’s not much help.
“Dragony, did Mother go back to rest yet?” Bai Xiachen turns away from the piggy boy and asks the girl instead.
Nodding her head: “Mhmm, Mother is resting inside the bed-chamber, and Father is currently out interrogating the prisoner.”
“That’s good then. Ling Yan is likely tired too so I’ll take her inside for rest. Also, Jin Tian will bring another girl back with him as well. She’s a friend of Ling Yan’s so help her settle in will you?”
“Okay.” Dragony nods again like an obedient child.
In light of this, Bai Xiachen didn’t relent and shot another look at Moli as a warning before slowly heading inside.
“Big Brother,” Di Ling Yan suddenly spoke up after they were halfway inside, “do you not like that little brother? I think he’s cute.”
“It’s not that I don’t like him.”
He doesn’t hate Moli, it’s just…
Every time he saw him sticking to Dragony, he would inexplicably get all annoyed and irritated.
“I got it!” The pipsqueak breaks out into a jolly giggle, “That is because the little brother is constantly pestering around Sister Dragony. Big Brother is afraid he will snatch her away from our home, right?”
Bai Xiachen didn’t verbally respond to the baby girl, instead he admitted it by simply being quiet.
“Don’t worry Big Brother, Sister Dragony won’t be snatched away and will stay with us. Also, Grandfather already told me that I must not miss out on someone I like if I encounter them. Although I don’t understand what Grandfather really means, but… from what I can tell, the little brother probably likes Sister Dragony a lot. That’s likely the reasoning for him bugging her so much.”
