Chapter 1877 “Di Xiao Wan’s Decision (8)”
“Have you been in there before?”
“Yes, I’ve been to the fantasy world, and I’ve been there twice before…”
Once was a thousand years ago, before encountering his wife
Another time… it was a hundred years ago.
Every time he leaves it would require him passing the requirements set upon him by that world. Therefore, Di Cang didn’t have absolute confidence in predicting the dangers or hardship that might befall those who entered.
“It’s precisely because I’ve been there that I know the horror inside that fantasy world. And… aside from me who entered from the Demon Realm, everyone else who entered it has never returned…”
He did not want to scare Bai Yan, but lying regarding a matter of this proportion would be incredibly stupid. Furthermore, keeping this detail from his owns sister and Dragony would be even more foolish since those two are going to be experiencing it first hand.
“Big Brother, you need to stop scaring me,” Di Xiao Wan makes a reluctant smile, “I must go forward with this. It’s my only chance to grow.”
Dragony echoed the same opinion from her side, “I’m going too. I’m not afraid of anything, and I believe I can come back.”
“Very well, if that’s what both of you have decided then get ready to go right away….” Bai Yan shows a bittersweet face, “If those three kids find out that the both of you are going to such a dangerous place then they will certainly try to stop you. Maybe Xiachen would even follow you into that fantasy world.”
Di Xiao Wan promptly puffs up her chest to make a strong appearance: “Big Brother, I will go back and pack my things. Later, have First Elder come over at night to pick us up. Me and Dragony can depart through the thick of night to avoid being detected by the kids. And if Ling Yan and Jin Tian ask the next morning, just tell them we went to look for State Teacher’s reincarnation as an excuse.”
Dragony nodded in agreement: “Mother, please tell Brother Xiachen that I am protecting Auntie during this period. When I return, I will have incredible powers to protect everyone, including him….”
Bai Yan’s throat felt like there’s a rock inside there, choking her and strangling her of air. She’s so sad and hurt by her inability to do more, that her family would have to endure such hardships.
Di Cang seems to have read his wife’s emotions then and promptly pulled her into an embrace. “Don’t worry, they’ll be find. Trust in them that they will come back alive and well.”
Bai Yan immediately shot a look to her man: “Don’t think I didn’t see it, you are also worried about them.”
This guy is too dishonest. He clearly worries about them as much as I do, but he’s still trying to comfort me and act like it’s fine….
Di Cang bursts out laughing before giving his wife a kiss on the lip, “There won’t be many dangers as long as Dragony is there. It’s okay to worry, but you mustn’t let worry dictate your judgment.”
Bai Yan couldn’t argue with that and got all quiet as she watched those two gradually disappear from her view.
“Oh right, Di Cang, you mention something about a red bead before…. I know where it is.” Only after Di Xiao Wan and Dragony’s departure did Bai Yan recall what they were discussing.
Raising an eyebrow: “Have you seen it?”
“Yes, the bead is in fact sitting quietly inside Ling Yan’s heart right now. I only learned of this recently…” Bai Yan face showed a high level of concern, “Do you remember that day when she went missing on the Demon Mountain?”
