Chapter 1245 “Three Month (3)”

Greatly startled by the change, Bai Yan rigidly but surely loosened her arms around the boy and found what she dreaded and feared the most. There’s not an ounce of the playfulness she’s come to expect in her own son, there’s only bloodthirstiness and death around this creature!

But perhaps it’s regret, or the guilt, but this mother didn’t push the ghoul like creature away and instead wrapped her arms tightly around the boy’s body.

Gentle in her voice: “Xiachen, I failed in protecting you back then and allowed you to leave me. In this life I promise you, I will not let any danger come your way and not let anyone separate us again! Don’t live with resentment and grudge, okay?”

The killing intent in the ghoul’s eye didn’t recede despite the plead, only growing stronger and worse.

“No, I’m going to kill everyone in the Celestial Realm! Everyone must die!”

Boom!

Suddenly, an incredible force explodes out of the child’s body, causing Bai Yan to stumble back a few steps and shocking the poor mother. Bai Yan couldn’t even recognize her own son anymore at this point.

Thankfully the lady’s motherly instinct kicked in and said contrary, otherwise she wouldn’t be standing here anymore.

“Baddie, you’re not allowed to hurt Mother!” Its then a light gushed out of the ghoul and attacked the red eyed monster. With the exact same contour but with an energized life to that face, this child had big blue eyes that was clear as a summer day.

Two Xiachen? Bai Yan mumbles to herself in astonishment.

“Get lost!” The ghoul version of the little steambun cries out and raises a punch in self defense from the other version of himself. “You coward, can’t even protect your own mother! If it wasn’t for the fact that I would die if you do then I would’ve killed you long ago! “

“I am not a coward!”

Light Xiachen quickly gets up from the ground after being knocked over, his face stubborn: “You will make Mother sad if you do this. I won’t let anyone make her sad, not even myself! If you dare make her leak a drop of tear then I will destroy myself. By then you won’t exist anymore!”

Will she be sad?

The little ghoul went silent, not saying a word.

But those people made me leave her for so many years, I won’t forgive them! What’s more, I will make the people of this world pay for the pain I had to endure!

……

Shocked by the two confronting boys that resembled her own son in different ways – one dark and one light – Bai Yan didn’t know what to do. But right as she’s about to approach the light version since he gave off a gentler aura, the lady suddenly noticed the glimmer of sadness in the dark version. Immediately, a wave of guilt stopped her in her steps and caused those hands to reach out without thought.

At first the resentment in the ghoul boy’s eye still burned with fury, but that changed after the initial stiffness over the physical contact with the woman. Those small little hands also reached out reactively for a hug.

However…..

Right when the two’s about to embrace each other heartily for comfort, a bloom of light emerges from both the dark and light version of the little steambun, sending the two away in a blink of an eye.

“Xiachen!”

Anxious on the face now, Bai Yan searched everywhere for her child to no avail. There’s only emptiness in this s.p.a.ce and the atmosphere was growing increasingly more unusual.

It hurts!

Crouching down, she clenches her chest at the constant thumping around the heart. She didn’t miss the agony and pain the dark version showed.

He must’ve been lonely with me….
