Chapter 1731 “I Remember (1)”

Di Xiao Wan immediately slaps her own head in realization: “Oh c.r.a.p, I forgot to prepare food for Jin Tian again today. Ling Yan, why don’t you go see your mother first, me and your brother will come afterwards after I get him something to eat.”

“Okay.” The peachy baby girl happily jumps off of the bed and gave her aunt a big huge hug before heading off.

……

Atop of the mountain, the four sacred beasts continues their quiet work of standing station in their respective spots when their mistress slowly strode out of the bronze gate.

“Mother!” It’s exactly then the little figure of Di Ling Yan rushed over from the foot of the mountain and threw herself into her mother’s arm.

Gently embracing her tiny little daughter, Bai Yan felt very pleased to be welcomed by her eldest and youngest daughter: “Xiachen, Ling Yan, I’m so happy to see you two. Come, let’s go back home.”

Unbeknownst to everyone, the clouds not far away had become a dark looming ma.s.s above their heads, which was not supposed to happen since everywhere else in the sky was perfectly clear this night. Di Ling Yan took notice when she looked up since it confused her little mind, but she didn’t pay too much attention to it since Bai Yan’s hands ate up most of her attention. If only this baby girl had spent just a moment longer to investigate this, then she would’ve surely noticed the oddity and strangeness looming from within….

“Mother, Ling Yan misses you so much, but you always only take Big Brother with you and not me…” Speaking of the last sentence, the baby girl’s voice carried the grievance of a child that’s been left behind by their parent.

Does Mother prefer Big Brother over me? Why is it always me and Jin Tian who gets left behind every time?

“You’re too young Ling Yan, but once you’re older then I will of course take you with me. Mother loves you always.” Feeling guilty inside for not being with her daughter, Bai Yan gives the daughter a rub on the head to show she cared.

“Then I will hurry and grow faster, that way I can follow Mother too.” In her happy fit, Di Ling Yan went ahead to give the demon queen a big lovable kiss on the cheek. Then jumping down from those arms, she also gives her older brother a good peck on the cheek as well. “I love Big Brother too.”

The peachy girl’s words were truly a delight for Bai Xiachen. Nearly melting, he smiles like a fool and nods in glee: “That’s my little sister, you are so cute.”

She’s cuter than w.a.n.g Xiaopeng’s (chubby) sister.

Speaking of his friend the chubby boy back when he lived in the human world, the steambun hasn’t seen him for so long. Naturally he’s starting to miss that friend he made during his younger years.

I better make some time in the future to go visit the Misty Fairy House and find him…. I’m sure he misses me too!

With that thought in mind, the boy didn’t delay and promptly spoke his wish: “Mother, let’s go back to the human world next and visit Grands.h.i.+fu and them. I miss everyone over there, and I miss my friends like w.a.n.g Xiaopeng and Nangong Zhun…”

That actually caught Bai Yan off guard and left her in a momentary trance. Indeed, she too hasn’t seen her relatives in a long time, and there’s Nangong Zhun her supposed disciple from the Liu Huo Kingdom.

Back then she only fancied the skinny boy’s const.i.tution due to it being suitable for alchemy, plus the orphaned prince’s childhood had a lot of similarities to her own youth, that’s why she took him in as a disciple. It’s just that she never did teach him anything, nor did she take care of him. With all these years later, it really does beg to wonder how he’s doing. Perhaps he’s grown into a find young teen like her own son?

“Okay Xiachen, let’s go back in the next few days, I miss them too.” Making a faint smile, Bai Yan leans down to give two kids a big hug: “And I’m sure your Grans.h.i.+fus will like to meet your little brother and sister too. After all, those three old fellas are one of the first people to care about us without any other motive.”
