Chapter 1279 “Di Cang’s Arrival (5)”

Do not know if her words truly did have an effect or not, but the killing intent hovering around the boy’s body did start showing signs of dissipating following her plea this time around. Eventually, even the burning flame had disappeared and returned to the dormant silence from within….

In spite of this sudden turn of event, Bai Yan didn’t let go of her hands, instead she hugged the little boy even tighter until tears began to drip down to those shoulders….

“Yan’er.” DI Cang’s gaze never once left his son’s figure during all this. Though he could tell the most critical moment has pa.s.sed with the kid, but he still wouldn’t leave it up to chance or his guard down.

“Let go first. I will eliminate this wisp of grudge from his body. Xiachen’s soul is sealed within his body right now so there won’t be any effect on him. At most he will sleep for a period. Afterwards I will find a way to lift the seal and free him again.”

Bai Yan’s body had frozen over regarding that suggestion because her mind immediately shot back to the time where she met that ghoul like version of her son. That grievance, that sadness, it could never be forgotten, that’s how memorable that image was in her memory.

Half a ring later, she turns back to face her husband: “Di Cang, I still want to try….”

“He doesn’t remember you, and has no humanity inside of him, you have to know this point!” he frowns and explains again.

Bai Yan on the other hand was done with the conversation. Returning to the boy, she doesn’t stop smiling in a rea.s.suring and warm manner.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you back then, You must’ve wanted to come to this world, and you must’ve wanted me to hold you, right?”

The little boy’s body shuddered a bit over the notion, regardless, he still allowed those hands to reach over without struggle. That warmth, it’s breathtakingly comfortable for some reason and he didn’t want to reject this feeling like a lost little lamb…

“Don’t worry, those who harmed us and made us separate in the past life, I won’t let any of them go!” Firm in her eyes as she makes that vow, the woman then prints a kiss on the child’s forehead to seal the promise. “I will also find a way to protect both you and Xiachen, I won’t let either of you disappear!”

That finally did it. The bloodthirstiness which plagued the boy for oh so long has finally dispersed, replaced entirely by tears and a sobbing cry of a childish voice. Though its dry and hoa.r.s.e like the dead, it’s still that of a child’s!

“Mother…” Crossing the barrier of time and s.p.a.ce, this poor baby finally has his chance to call out the one word he never could.

Quivering across her body over this cry of a baby to their mother, Bai Yan hugged him even tighter like the act would never be enough.

Di Cang in the meantime could only stand on the side and silently watch the pair huddle together. He had no room to join us because right now it’s their moment and not his.

Is this what they call mother and son bond? But why can he only remember his mother and not father? Isn’t this a little too bias?

“Mother, I miss you…” As the boy says that, the dam holding back those tears has now collapsed and causes the fluid to stain the woman’s dress.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

I never should’ve forgotten….

“No, the one to be sorry is me. I didn’t protect you properly last life, but I promise you I will protect Xiachen for sure so don’t worry.”
