Chapter 1360 “Bai Xiao Has Come (3)”

“Didn’t I tell you this before? You’re a man, and a man doesn’t need hugs.”

Apparently Bai Xiachen was so into his role as a older brother that he forgot his own past tales. He too was a super clingy baby that always refused to come off of Bai Yan’s arms, in fact, he’s even worse in the attachment department.

But there’s no way Jin Tian could understand that. Continuing to reach up with both of his little hands, the little glutton looks so hurt and pitiful that he eventually won in this battle of cuteness.

Putting down the girl in his arms, Bai Xiachen sighs and picks up his younger brother: “Only this time Jin Tian, no seconds. A man must be strong and reliable, you can’t be like a girl and always ask for hugs and carries you know? You are going to the future demon king, you can’t be so soft.”

“What is a demon king?” Biting his chubby finger, the little glutton didn’t understand a word of that, “Can it be eaten?”

“Sort of. If you become the demon king then all the food in this world will be at your call. There will be a lot of delicious things waiting for you.” Flas.h.i.+ng a cunning light, Bai Xiachen really poured in the gravy over his lies.

Sure enough, Di Jin Tian immediately started to drool over the prospect of being able to eat all the good things in life. Showing a determined face at the thought of food: “Then I want to be the demon king, I want to be the demon king! I want all the food!”

“Now that’s a good boy. You can’t go back on your words now that you’ve decided on that, otherwise…” smiling wickedly, “otherwise you won’t get to eat delicious things again.”

Upon hearing he won’t be able to eat delicious things again, the little glutton promptly got all anxious and cried out: “I won’t regret it, I won’t! I want to be the demon king, I want all the food!”

Grinning from ear to ear, Bai Xiachen knows he’s succeeded. Now by the time his younger brother realizes he’s been conned, it would be too late and there would be no turning back.

Back over in the pavilion, Bai Yan has been watching this entire interaction between her children.

This rascal is just like his father, cunning and treacherous when he wants something. Just a few words and he’s already conned his younger brother into a deep pit that can’t be climbed out of….

Yet apparently Bai Yan herself seems to have forgotten something crucial – she’s the one who suggested the boy go trick the younger sibling!

Guess the trait of forgetting their own cons runs in this family, the woman being the same as her children.

“Queen, Queen!”

A hurried sound of footsteps suddenly catches the resting woman’s attention. Turning around to meet the guard’s gaze, Bai Yan didn’t need to ask when the person blurted out a message that sent her jumping out of bed.

“Queen, there is someone outside looking for you, he said… he said he’s your younger brother.”

Younger brother?

Bai Xiao?

The lady’s heart nearly stopped beating at the name.

“Uncle is here?” Bai Xiachen had also run over after giving up on teasing his younger siblings.

“Big Brother, what is an uncle?” Di Ling Yan asks from one side after hearing the boy.

“Uncle is the younger brother of our mother. He is one of the most important people in this world to Mother so you two must not forget our uncle, okay?” The steambun lectures the two babies with a serious face.

“Quick, take me to him!” Bai Yan didn’t have the patient to wait and decides to go to Bai Xiao instead.

It couldn’t be helped, it’s been nearly three years since she last saw this precious younger brother of hers. They haven’t met for so long that even her hands are trembling with excitement.

“Yes, Queen.”

……

At the gate to the Demon City, a young looking man was standing there with his hands behind his back, that face without emotion like he’s devoid of temperature.
