Di Cang’s sight followed his son’s gaze and landed on that magnificent figure of his wife. Immediately, that stern and lecturing face disappeared, replaced by a warm and gentle light flowing forward from within.

  “You’re back…”


  Bai Yan didn’t respond to her husband’s tender words though; instead, she scanned the battlefield to take in everything that’s happening. Then as soon as her eyes fell upon the teen that’s been covered in blood, the demon queen’s composure crumbled and got all anxious,

  “Xiachen, how are you, are you hurt anywhere?” She grabs his shoulder and nervously examined him from top to bottom.

  Blooming with the brightest smile that could overshadow the most dire of nights, the boy finally revealed a happiness he’s been withholding since that dreadful day: “Don’t worry Mother, these bloodstains are all other peoples. See, I’m perfectly fine.”


  But even if the steambun said that to assure his mother, Bai Yan’s heart didn’t settle and continued her examination. Only when she’s confirmed his condition to its fullest does she relent.

  Thank goodness he’s alright.

  No one knows this but the demon queen’s heart nearly popped out of her own chest there when she saw the bloodstained-looking sight of her eldest son. In all her years, she’s never allowed the steambun to be harmed, not ever.

  Di Cang continued to wait from his spot, but after being repeatedly ignored, this dominant man finally grew irritated and thought exercising his own son so he would buzz off at his important reunion.

  “Yan Yan.” Reaching out with a hand, the demon king tyrannically brings his wife into his embrace to show who’s in charge. “You don’t have to be afraid. If I’m here, nothing will happen to him.”


  In actual fact, Di Cang believed that a boy getting hurt once in a while didn’t amount to anything, hence his decision to send the steambun into battle. Besides, his focus never left the boy during the actual fighting. Even if Bai Xiachen did get into lethal danger, he would’ve intervened at the last moment to ensure his safety.

  “It’s good that everything’s alright…” Bai Yan’s mood finally calmed down after that statement. Leaning her head in against her husband’s chest, she felt secure and happy after being away for so long.

  “Di Cang, our children are my wife, all three of them….”


  They’re her driving force. Only by becoming stronger would she be able to preserve their peace.

  “Father, Mother is likely tired, you should take her back for rest after such a long arduous journey. I will take care of my little brother and sister during this period.”


  Bai Xiachen couldn’t ignore the heartache in his own chest after seeing how exhausted his own mother has become.

  Mother is already very tired, and I scared her with my appearance just now. If she doesn’t go back and rest then she might really faint….

  Di Cang didn’t argue with that logic because he felt the same way. Picking up his wife into a princess hold, the demon king slowly strode towards the palace.

  “Big Sister, can you play with me?” It’s unknown when this occurred but while everyone was busy primarily watching the departing backs of the two love birds, Ji Tian the little glutton had somehow found his way over to Ji Song’s side and tugged at her sleeve. He’s all smiles and hopeful in his chubby face.

  Ji Song who came here for the first time naturally felt intimidated by the new environment. However, this sudden intrusion onto her personal space by a grinning baby boy left her all uncomfortable and awkward. Nevertheless, she quickly pulled her hand away and stepped back.
