Chapter 1631 “Keeper Zun’s Decision (2)”
“Mother, I took good care of my sister during your absence. I also told her many jokes and happy things!” Looking up after clinging onto the woman’s thigh, the little glutton appeared all hopeful in the face like he’s looking for a praise.
“Jin Tian is awesome,” Bai Yan praises him, ruffing up his hair as compliment. “Of course, Ling Yan is also awesome. The both of you are my pride.”
Every child of hers was her pride so she’s not just saying it for fun.
“Mother…” Di Ling Yan puckers her lips, those eyes still rolling with tears: “Do you not want me anymore? Why did you leave me at this place? Oowuu, you must’ve found another baby fox outside, that’s why you don’t want Ling Yan anymore.”
Bai Yan’s forehead inevitably twitched at that comment. She’s got an aching suspicion that the sentence sounded familiar as if someone already said it before. Subconsciously, the lady sneaks a glance over to the steambun who’s next to herself.
Thankfully Bai Xiachen had his attention fully fixated on that little sister of his right now, otherwise he might just be able to pick up on the weird look he’s getting.
“Don’t cry Ling Yan, Mother did not abandon you, we only had something to do. Aren’t we back now? We’re here to pick you and Jin Tian up.” Bai Xiachen says, moving his hand to wipe off the peachy baby’s tear whom he cherished as the greatest treasure.
Not looking so sad anymore after hearing big brother’s consoling words, the baby princess faces her own mother for confirmation: “Really? Mother is here to bring me and Second Brother home? You’re not leaving us again?”
It’s the first time this baby girl’s been away from her mother for so long… A child needs their parent around, especially at such a young age.
“Of course, it’s true.” Bai Xiachen continues to sooth his little sister using that extremely gentle voice.
On the other hand, the little glutton’s been staring up at his family hoping for some attention as well. When he discovered there’s none to be had, the chubby little baby boy immediately broke out into a crying fit to get that.
Startled by the outburst of tears, the steambun furrows his nose and asked, “What are you crying about?”
“I also miss Mother and Big Brother! I also want Big Brother to hug me!”
Bai Xiachen’s expression got very serious then: “Have you forgotten what I taught you before? Men do not cry easy. As a man, how can you cry so easily?”
Taken aback by the lecture, the little glutton only then remembers the lesson: “That… okay, I won’t cry anymore…”
Softening up after seeing how aggrieved and pitiful his little brother remains on the surface, Bai Xiachen moves forward to give him a hug anyways. “Jin Tian, you will be the king of the Demon Realm one day, you can’t act so weak. But you did well in taking care of your sister while we were away so this is your reward.”
Giggling in happy note after getting the praise he wanted, Di Jin Tian hurriedly wipes his tears away: “Mmm, I am a man, I won’t cry, I will protect Mother and Ling Yan.”
“Now that’s a good man of our Demon Realm.” Patting his little brother’s head as a praise again after hearing what he wanted, “I’m looking forward to your success. I will also tell Father to pass the throne to you as soon as possible.”
“Really?” Jin Tian’s eyes shined with light, forming a crescent shape to emphasize his own cuteness and desire for that position.
He couldn’t wait for that day and started to suckle his own finger like a little glutton that he was. However, the deception told to him about being able to eat as much food as he pleases once he’s king remains a lie. By the time the poor boy realizes this pit set up by his own family, it’s already too late and he’s working his butt off day in and day out, starving himself thin compared to this lovely childhood he enjoys today.
“Jin Tian, Ling Yan, I want to introduce you to someone,” Bai Yan went ahead to bring Dragony over to her side for the introduction, “This is your older sister, her name is Dragony.”
