Chapter 1912 “The Visitors (4)”
Bai Yan shook her head: “I’ve distributed all of the ones I refined before. If necessary, I can make more for you. However, your strength is not enough to take it yet, it’s too risky the way you are. First ascend to a higher rank, then we will see if you’re suitable for that.”
“Yes, Cousin.” The demon queen’s assurance was enough for Lan Xiaoyun. She’s never doubted her cousin so she’s not going to start now.
“Ling Yan, Jin Tian, go greet your great-grandfather and great-grandmother’s.” Bai Yan pats the twins to come forward.
The two little ones never shied away since birth so they sweetly came before the two grandparents. “Hello Great-Grandfather, Great-Grandmother.”
“aigh, aigh, aigh, good child.”
Old Madam Lan crouched down and lovingly gave the two soft buns a heart hug to satiate her melting heart. The more she looked, the happier appeared on the face.
“Grandma, you’re a lot younger looking than before.” Bai Yan saw that there was no trace of wrinkles on her grandmother and brought it up.
“Really?” Old Madam Lan stroked her face in joy, “It’s probably because of the medicine you gave me before. I always take one each month. Now when I go out no one will even believe me when I say I’m sixty something years old.”
Cultivators age like everyone else, but once they achieve a certain power level, they would stop aging on the surface. For someone like Old Madam Lan, she’s not nearly strong enough to be eternally youthful on the surface, hence her reliance on Bai Yan’s medicine and drugs to retain her youthful appearance.
“Cousin, how long are you going to be back this time?” Lan Shaoyan the second male cousin asks with smiles of his own, “We all miss you a lot.”
Bai Yan hung her eyes down due to her disappointing answer: “I will probably go back to the Demon Realm tomorrow. This time I’m only here to show Ling Yan and Jin Tian the place I used to live. They never seen any of you so I wanted them to at least get that….”
“Is that so.” Lan Shaoyan couldn’t hide the disappointment in his eyes. He expected more than a night of staying since it’s their long-awaited reunion.
“Yan Yan,” Old Madam Lan puts the two milk buns down and reached out to hold the woman’s hand, “will you be staying here at the Lan estate tonight?”
Bai Yan wanted to refuse, but suddenly saw hopeful light in her grandmother’s eyes. Whatever word she had in mind was lost to the tummy.
“Okay, we will stay here for the night. Besides, I believe there will be other people coming after they hear of my return. If any of you get word of the Flower Brothel and Demon Beast Sect coming, let them come see me…..” Bai Yan pauses to think, “And if Wang Deqiu and his son comes too, go ahead and let them come see me as well.”
Smiles all over the face, Old Madam Lan pats her granddaughter’s hand in delight, “Then what about the palace? Her Highness the Dowager was mentioning about you before.”
“If the Queen Mother and my student Nangong Zhun wants to come then that’s fine too. As for everyone else, I’m not interested.”
She did not forget how the world treated her prior to the relationship with the Holy Land was exposed. Aside from those mentioned few people, she had no reason to keep contact with anyone else.
“Okay, go rest first, I’m sure you and the kids are tired after a long journey back.” Old Madam Lan relaxes after getting her wish.
