Chapter 1864 “Reunion (3)”
Bai Xiachen’s little face turned a couple of notches darker. After a moment of silence: “I don’t want a wife, I only want to be with my sister and mother.”
“Oh?” Di Xiao Wan grinned mischievously, “Then I ask you, does Dragony have a pink piglet hanging around her lately?”
“You mean Moli? What about him?”
Moli was originally a pet picked up Mo Li Shang who appeared out of nowhere one day. Turns out they weren’t just some random strange, but a twist of fate that went back lifetimes. Take the winged piggy. His clan had a mission to protect Dragony. Since the piggy’s entire race has died out, the task naturally now fell upon him.
However, due to the event of Bai Yan disappearing and Dragony being unable to find her mother after awakening in that secret place, the pair separated for a while during the Celestial Realm war. But news travels fast. Moli recently got wind of Dragon returning to the Demon Realm, that’s why the piggy secretly snuck away from his owner and hung around the dragoness and wouldn’t leave.
“It’s nothing…. I just feel that the pig and Dragony are getting way too close. They’re practically inseparable. I wonder what your mother would think about this. Isn’t Dragony her favored daughter-in-law? Aren’t you afraid of the girl being s.n.a.t.c.hed away by the piggy?”
Bai Xiachen was silent again, his face getting a little troubled.
“Moli is Dragony’s guard, and…. I don’t want to marry a wife.”
“Oh, but I don’t think their relations.h.i.+p is that simple…. Perhaps they’re very close in fact.”
Bai Xiachen’s face got darkly grim: “Auntie, can you stop talking about this matter? And that has nothing to do with me. I’m starting to wonder if Father is the one who sent you over trick me into leaving Mother’s side.”
“Father?” Di Xiao Wan made a puzzled face.
This little guy… didn’t he always call his old man Baddie Father? Why the sudden change?
Firming up on his young little face: “Auntie, I have grown up already. Since I’m a grownup, it’s only normal that I change the way I address Father. I’m not a five-year-old baby anymore.”
The demon princess couldn’t help but twitch in the face over that statement.
What difference is there between a five and nine years old?
Aren’t you still a child anyways?
“Father,” the steambun then turns to Di Cang, “I have dealt with these people, can we go look for Mother now?”
“I alone am enough in looking for your mother. You stay at home and wait for me.” The demon king nonchalantly states this with a radiant smirk.
“Didn’t you say we will go together? Why won’t you let me go with you?” The arrangement made the steambun very unhappy. He misses Bai Yan so much yet his father won’t take him along.
“You’ve grown up now so you can’t stick to your mother like you used to.”
“……”
“That’s what you said just now isn’t it? Grown ups don’t stick around their parents all the time, they must learn to do things on their own.”
“……”
Bai Xiachen dropped his jaws in stunned silence.
Did I just smashed my own feet?
Quickly coming back to reality at the dreaded situation he himself created, “Actually… I’m still a baby.”
Who’s not a baby in front of their mother?
Suddenly from out of the blue, Bai Xiachen’s figure went stiff as a rock.
He felt something. To be exact, it’s two familiar energy signatures quickly making their way over to his location. Turning his head in the direction like a robot, he stares hard to make out the contour of the two.
“Father, am I hallucinating? Isn’t that Mother and Little Sister?”
