Chapter 1857 “Departure (3)”
Ji Sky said so already. Whenever Ling Yan is in danger, the bead will burn up and repel anyone that touches her. It’s clear the bead is powerful in its own right….
“Since it’s here then there’s no reason to return it!” Bai Yan sneered, “Whatever his purpose for doing this, it’s still the same as putting a bomb in your body. It’s dangerous. Whether it’s out of spite or revenge, we’re keeping it after we pry it out from inside you.”
Want it back?
Dream on!Not only will we not give it back, we’re going to be settling the debt of putting such a bomb inside my darling without permission!
The pipsqueak hung her head in thought: “Mother, that big brother…. doesn’t seem like a bad guy though.”
Although at first he’s a bit mean, but he didn’t really hurt me at the end. He’s probably not that bad and only has a big mouth…
“I can’t forgive him for the very fact that he would dare risk your wellbeing!” Bai Yan sounds irked by her own words, “Ling Yan, we must get back to the Demon Realm as soon as possible. Your father will know a way to help you.”
“Okay.” Ling Yan nods in compliance. She also misses her father and two brothers.
Ji Song never uttered a peep during this entire time despite also being there. However, her silence finally caught the attention of the demon queen who somehow found the time to glance around.
“Song, do you have something to say to me? You look like you got a lot on your mind.”“I…” The girl pursed her lips, “can I leave with you?”
She’s hopeful for a yes so the girl didn’t blink at all.
Smiling at the nervous appearance, Bai Yan understood why she would ask that. “Of course, I saved you so the price is you following Ling Yan.”
Even though Ling Yan is still young, but she will eventually grow up. The sooner she has some followers the better. Song here will be a perfect candidate.
Song’s eyes lit up at the confirmation and caused her to smile brilliantly. It’s expected since she’s got her wish.
“Sister Song,” Di Ling Yan crisply called out and grabbed her friend’s hand, “Your smile is so beautiful, I like it so much.”
Blushing at the praise, the once morbid girl never had someone call her beautiful before. The feeling felt new, and it’s wonderful….
“Ling Yan, you stay and play with your sister Song, I need to go discuss something with your grandfather.”
“Teehee,” the pipsqueak giggles with delight at the order, “I will Mother, I will be very good while you go see Grandfather.”
Pleased by the obedience, Bai Yan leans down and gives her daughter a peck on the cheek to seal the deal. However, she was surprised by the envious gaze coming off of Song’s eye once she straightened up. It seems she’s been careless and hit a sore spot on the girl’s mind.
They died in order to protect their baby so Song never got to meet her parents….
Softening up at the thought, Bai Yan knew she had to do something. She may not be her real parents, but she could be a substitute as a guiding elder.
Reaching out with a hand, she rubs that little head as she spoke: “Song, I’ll be leaving Ling Yan in your care.”
Her hands were warm and gentle, causing the girl to stiffen up out of reflex. This would be the first time she’s physically touched another person outside of her grandfather in this fashion. Everyone else was either an attendant or maid, they served her out of respect and command, not on emotions or love.
