Chapter 1736 “Encounter (3)”

“SCRAM YOU FILTH!” Di Cang’s enraged roar rocks the air, sending both tree and rock flying due to the shockwave. As a result of this release, even the dark clouds above the sky dispersed in one full swoop, thus revealing the open sky once again.

“DI Cang, I’m going down to check on Winger first, he should still be alive. I can sense the wisp of life left in him. If I act fast he can still be saved.” Bai Yan’s urgency told how dire the bird man’s condition was and that there’s no time for delay.

Understanding this, the demon king didn’t stop her despite the dangers that might include. However, the sort of perplexed and tied look on his face when gazing down at the charred husk hinted how troubled he felt inside.

……

The palace of the Demon Realm.

Di Ling Yan continues to shrink her body against her older brother’s as she quietly wept until she eventually felt asleep due to fatigue.

“Ling Yan be good, Father and Mother will be back soon so sleep, your Uncle Winger won’t face any accident…” Bai Xiachen continues to lull this to her since he discovered the words helped steady the baby’s mood.

Unlike a few years ago, this steambun had definitely grown much more mature compared to when he first came out of the Holy Land. In fact, he’s now capable of acting as the shield, the reliable mountain to be clung upon.

Half an hour later.

“Brother, hug…” Di Ling Yan suddenly stirred during her nap as the thunderous clapping stopped in the sky.

“Good Ling Yan, big brother here will give you a hug so there’s no need to be afraid, we are all here with you and won’t go anywhere.”

That cooing did the job as good as it could and helped the baby settle down, thus allowing her to return to that sleep.

Pleased with the results: “The lightnings are gone, that means Mother and Father will likely come back soon…”

Originally the boy wanted to return his attention back to his sibling after muttering this to no one in specific, but his gaze quickly caught onto the moon above his own head then. He couldn’t describe it, but it’s even redder than normal compared to his own memories. This strange feeling left Bai Xiachen very uncomfortable, causing him to subconsciously hold onto Di Ling Yan some more.

Stirring again due to the grip around herself, the baby girl rubs her sleepy eyes and spoke: “Brother, what’s going on?”

“It’s all right, nothing’s wrong.” Realizing he’s messed up, the steambun hurries to appease the baby, “Sleep Ling Yan, the lightning has stopped so it won’t be so loud anymore. I need to make a quick trip outside and will be back real fast.”

“Ooh.” Not knowing why, Di Ling Yan puckered her lips into a sad face and pulled at her older brother’s hand: “You promise? You will come back fast?”

“Don’t worry, when have big brother here lied to you?” After saying this, he makes a reassuring smile and turned for the exit.

Unbeknownst to the boy though, the baby girl didn’t stay put like he wanted and instead got up. Looking up to stare at the eerie looking moon as well, she murmurs to herself: “Big Brother isn’t here so I’ll go find Jin Tian. Sleeping alone is scary…”
