Chapter 1883 “Mother is Heaven (5)”
I can’t…
I can’t watch her take such a risk.
So, I’m sorry Mistress…
Please forgive me for not telling you.
Bai Yan did not notice the hidden light flickering within the phoenix’s eye so her condition wasn’t fairing so well. Sloppy in her steps, the demon queen had trouble maintaining her balance due to the ache in the heart.
“Mother, Mother!” From afar, she could hear the calls of the little ones.
Coming over was none other than her eldest son and the twins. However, there’s also Ji Song who stood behind the group while holding a long sword in both her arms. She may be small – smaller than Bai Xiachen – but her presence gave weight and projected a sense of peace.
“You’re all here.” Bai Yan slowly closed her eyes before opening them again after a long while. She had to force herself to smile despite the discomfort.
“Mother, are you feeling sick?” Di Ling Yan saw the unhealthy complexion and quickly ran over to touch Bai Yan’s forehead with her tiny hands.
However, she’s unfortunately too small in her height so those hands were nowhere close to being able to reach, which causes the pipsqueak to grow a little depressed in the face.
“I’m fine, Ling Yan don’t have to worry.” Bai Yan reached down to rub her daughter’s head reassuringly.
Of course, the little glutton was equally as worried after seeing his mother’s complexion. First pulling out a small cloth bag from his pocket, he earnestly offers it with both hands like it’s an immense treasure.
“Mother, are you hungry? This is the food prepared for me by First Elder. I had intended to eat it on the road, but if Mother is hungry then you can have it.”
Bai Yan’s heart melted away over her twins’ loveable gesture of comfort. Hugging both with open arms: “Mother is not hungry, I’m just a little tired. We should begin heading out now.”
“Mother, don’t we have to say goodbye to Father first?” Ling Yan asks with a puzzled look.
She’s suddenly reluctant to leave Di Cang behind…
It’s just that the thought of meeting her mother’s side of the family, her heart would grow excited.
Shuddering inside over that comment, she shakes her head with a bitter smile: “No need, your father is very busy so it’s best not to disturb him. It’s beginning to get late so we shouldn’t delay the trip any longer. If we set out now then we should be at the Holy Land before sundown.”
In this world, apart from those she considers close family members, the most important individuals are the three silly shifus of hers.
Back then it was they who took her in during her weakest and gave her five years of love and care. Without that period to breath, the Bai Yan of today wouldn’t exist.
“Mother, are we going to see my three grandshifus?” Bai Xiachen’s eye lit up over the notion, “Is Godfather also in the Holy Land? I miss him so much.”
Although he favors his old man a lot, the steambun still likes Chu Yi Feng from the hearts down. In fact, if Di Cang never existed, he would’ve likely wanted that picturesque man to become his stepfather.
“Godfather?” Di Ling Yan cleverly picked up on this word and looked towards her older brother’s face for an explanation.
Patting his little sister with a smile: “You never met him yet Ling Yan, but Godfather is a very good person that is always kind to Mothe and me. He would exhaust everything to please her. If Father hadn’t appear back then, perhaps…”
Regarding the last bit of his remark, Bai Xiachen didn’t want to say it before the twins. After all, if Chu Yi Feng did get Bai Yan back then, where would the twins be today?
