Chapter 349 “The Knot inside Bai Yan’s Heart (3)”
“Perhaps it was because my mother wasn’t worth it to him, that’s why he didn’t take that risk….”
Men truly are a laughable specie. When life is stable and secure, he will promise you everything. But when danger comes knocking, he will abandon you without remorse.
“And it was precisely because of this life changing event that I worked strenuously to increase my cultivation. Eventually I did avenge my mother, but I couldn’t stop then. Those that stayed by my side left me one by one, all because I neglected them for power.” Opening her eyes, Bai Yan’s face now carried a smile that somehow hurts just by peering at it.
“I still don’t understand,” hovering between understanding and confusion, the baby boy nevertheless states his opinion, “however, I won’t ever leave you Mother, and I believe Baddie Father won’t either.”
Stiffening in her body, Bai Yan couldn’t resist but give her son a hearty hug at that warming comment. “Son, my greatest choice in this life is by giving birth to you…”
Such a good child, what more can one ask for?
……
Inside the backyard of the estate, a big red bird had just landed on the ground.
“My king, is something the matter in summoning me so urgently?” Transforming into a man of red, this bird was the very same phoenix subordinate that Di Cang brought along from the Demon Realm.
“Pass word back to the State Teacher. Have him gather the elites from every demon tribe and toss them into the Demon Mirror.” The Demon Mirror was the secret training ground of the Demon Realm. In order to open the entrance, even just once, it would require enormous energy. Now Di Cang wants to toss everyone inside?
Shuddering for a second there on the ground, the man of red attempts to dissuade the demon lord: “My king, I implore you to reconsider the idea.”
“There’s no need.”
“But then how should I answer the State Teacher when he asks for the reasoning?” Biting his teeth in fear of being blown away, the man of red readies himself for the worse.
Raising a tyrannical smile of epic proportion, Di Cang answers without hesitation: “Tell him we are attacking the Celestial Realm!”
What… What?!
Attacking the Celestial Realm?
The king wants to attack the Celestial Realm?
Did he go mad?
“My king… our Demon Realm has been sealed by centuries. Shouldn’t we reconsider the idea first?”
Neither annoyed nor angered, Di Cang lays it out bare for his subordinate: “If my queen wants the Celestial Realm then it shall be done. What’s more, its time we settled the score with those celestials for the debt they instilled upon our race millennia’s ago.”
Bai Yan didn’t know it yet, but her careless demand at the time had become the tipping stone for this all-out war between both realms! If only she knew, then she would’ve smashed Di Cang until he’s out cold for doing something so foolish.
……
While one side was readying for war, the other was having a good time with their family members.
“You’re here, but where’s Lord Cang?” Seeing how the girl was only with her son in coming over, Old Lord Lan didn’t forget to ask his granddaughter this important fact.
Smiling at the question, Bai Yan didn’t get angry because she knew it would be like this: “He will come soon afterwards. Grandfather, why don’t we return home first on the dragon’s back.”
Getting the signal, the Glass Dragon first utters a low moaning cry before lowering his body in preparation for the people to embark on its back.
“If so then I will lead the soldiers back to the kingdom,” rubbing his nose, Lan Shaoyan (second male cousin) awkwardly smiles, “Cousin, you should go back with Grandfather and them first.”
Nodding at her second cousin’s suggestion, Bai Yan agrees with the boy’s idea. There’re too many soldiers here. As big as the dragon was, there’s just not enough room.
“Yi Yi.” Casting her gaze over to Chu Yi Yi (holy land princess), Bai Yan didn’t forget to ask: “Where’s your brother?”
