Chapter 1617 “Heartache (7)”

Perhaps becoming aware of the insecurity in her daughter’s heart, Bai Yan gently pulls the girl into a hug before attempting to break the shadow inside: “Of course not, you are my daughter, I will never dislike you. If I really don’t care… then why would I keep Xiachen then when he was born?”

After all, as a human being, giving birth to a talking fox was out of this world for someone that came from Earth. But her love as a mother won out in the end, regardless of what specie in which the baby hailed from, she would love them all as much.

Bai Xiachen who heard this immediately made a displeased and wronged face. In his mind, the boy finds himself to be very cute and adorable when he was born, therefore it made no sense as to why his mother would even suggest the idea of abandoning himself.

“Dragony, you don’t need to worry, me and Mother will never turn our backs on you.” Giving the girl a pat on the head, he also tries to comfort her in his own way.

“Mmm.” Breaking out into a brilliant smile at the contact, she’s truly relieved and found the baggage dropping off her shoulders.

It’s good that Mother and Brother Xiachen won’t turn their backs on me….

……

Within a mountain range of the Celestial Realm, Di Ling Yan was currently having a great time playing atop of the big blue water dragon lying in the pool of water underneath.

“Your injury should be about healed… in that case, Her Highness should stop providing you with her blood.” Winger the guardian bird says after finding the creature’s health stabilizing.

The idea to use the princess’s blood to heal this blue dragon was none other than Di Ling Yan herself. She’s a very kind child. In front of an injured animal, she couldn’t resist the urge in offering a helping hand when she had the means. Fortunately, the process didn’t take much due to the prominent effects of her blood, only a few drops here and there was enough.

“That is obvious, you don’t need to remind me.” The blue scaled dragon warmly retorts, its aura giving off a comfortable sensation to not only the demons around, but to the terrain as well with its power gradually returning following the recovery.

Pleased by the answer, Winger crosses his arms and leaned in against the tree next to himself: “I’m curious though, who managed to bring you to this state? Is it the same people who’s been hunting me, from that place?”

The water dragon suddenly got all silent then, seemingly trying to decide on whether on answerring the question with honesty or simply avoiding the question altogether. “My enemy shouldn’t be the same as yours based on my observation of your scar, as for whether or not they’re from the same place, I can’t be certain. Regardless, I will be leaving this place once I have fully recovered thanks to this child’s blood. Don’t worry, I will keep my promise to Bai Ning and form a familiar contract with her daughter if we were to ever meet again.”

The water dragon made a promise to Bai Ning for helping him during his weakest; however, he never mentioned anything about staying here forever. He also has an important commitment to attend to, that’s why he’s going to leave. If fate permits then the contract would be fulfilled, otherwise….

“I’ll tell Her Highness the Queen that.” Winger nodded, pleased enough to hear the commitment hasn’t been forgotten.

“In that case I will give you my name,” chuckling at the bird’s childish behavior, “in all the realms, I go by only one name: Grave Blue, the Water Dragon. I’m certain the mother of these two kids would eventually come to me, I can’t wait to see that day, haha!”

Grave Blue has taken quite the liking to Di Ling Yan and the little glutton Di Jin Tian during this period. Undoubtedly, he’s going to miss the little twins by leaving this place.

“Grandpa Water Dragon, are you leaving?” Di Ling Yan leans forward from the dragon’s head and peaks down at those big blue eyes and asked.

Likewise, the little glutton also stopped in his act of gobbling the fruits and stared dazingly at the pool for the impending answer.
