Chapter 413 "Overprotective Son (3)"
Also placing his hand on top of hers, the teen never felt so reliable than now with that bright smile, I swear to you Sister, if anything dares to block your path, even if they are gods, I will still remove them for you. I won't allow any obstacle to get in your way!
.......
In a stream of light, two little figures were quickly rushing across the front yard right now with one yelling from the back and the other running away: "Stinking Little Rice, stop right there and give me back my snacks! Mother just prepared those for me."
The indicated item was that small medicinal bottle in the tiger's mouth, which Little Rice would of course not yield as he fled the scene.
Bump!
Yet, just when the little fella thought he would get away with his prize, the poor thing had directly crashed into the chest of that dominating figure which got in his way. As a result, this gave Bai Xiachen to not only the chance to catch up to their location, but to also catch the little thief in his arms as he dropped from the air due to his dizzying state.
"Stinking Little Rice, this time I got you!" Lifting the tiger up to his face, the kid makes a triumphant grunt to show his victory before looking up, "Baddie Father, are you leaving?"
Slightly nodding: "That's right, I am going to visit the Abyss within the demon beast forest. I will return in a few days."
Glowing in his eyes over the news, the kid was somehow quite happy for some reason: "Then you must come back soon Baddie Father, I got something I need to tell you."
"What is it?" Di Cang asks, his voice still indifferent as ever.
"It's about Mother..."
Now that finally roused his interest: "Well then, I will be back soon as you wish."
"Oh right," suddenly drumming up like an exasperated steam bun, the kid then raises the dizzying tiger up at his old man, "I had Auntie tie up that Bai Ruo to take out her soul for Little Rice, but when he ate it, he didn't get any bigger. In fact, Little Rice has been getting diarrhea nonstop, do you know why?"
Di Cang was silent for a while: "The quality of the soul did not pass."
"....."
Bai Xiachen was literally popping his eyes in astonishment because that could only mean Bai Ruo's soul was too inferior, thus making his friend get indigestion!
"From now on don't consume any of those inferior souls, they are useless to you." Casting a down casting glare at the cat, Di Cang gloomily warns the poor thing.
Aggrieved over this, the little cat protests outright: "I didn't want to eat it! It was Little Master here who forced me into eating Bai Ruo's soul. It was so gross, I never want to eat another one like that in this life!" Just thinking about that disgusting face of Bai Ruo would make the tiger want to vomit.
"Little Rice," revealing a pang of guilt in his eyes, Bai Xiachen sounded apologetic in his following words, "This time I was wrong. In order to make up for the damage to you, I will not punish you for taking my snacks. Just hand them back over and we can still be good friends in the future."
He's a good boy who knows how to repent after learning his lesson; however, that only applies to anything outside of his snacks!
Looking at the lovely face of his son, Di Cang's lip inexplicably curved into a rarely seen smile, This little guy is born of me and Yan Yan!
Shooting a frosty glance at the tiger who wouldn't release his jaws around the bottle, "Give the bottle to Xiachen."
"You two... you two are bullying me!" Putting on a protective position, the baby tiger was almost ready to cry there.
He never expected this demon king to be a doting father who would join forces with his young master to bully himself....
"Give the pills to Xiachen and the next time I will find you a powerful soul to eat."
"I don't want to eat souls," the tiger instantly protests.
Chapter 414 "Overprotective Son (4)"
In light of that shrinking and shivering body, the baby tiger nevertheless manages to work up enough courage to confront his greatest fear. For what? All for the sake of these snacks!
"It's very yummy, tastier than even Qing Luan's soul as well." Instead of getting angry at the denial, Di Cang seems amused even as he tossed out the second bait in his arsenal.
Now that's a score which lit the tiger's eye up instantly.
In reality, the main reason Little Rice didn't like the idea of consuming souls as his main diet was due to his perception of it being gross and disgusting. However, that soon changed after trying it once and realizing the benefits it brought him....
First giving a pitiful glance down at the bottle in his possession, clearly he didn't want to let go of it, but he ends up stuffing it over to the kid's hand in the end.
Compared to these medicinal Dan pills, the souls are much more useful for him so of course the tiger knew which to choose.
"Protect your mother and wait for me to come home." Retracting his gaze, Di Cang readily rubs his son's head to say this like a proper father would.
"Don't worry Baddie Father, I will protect mother and make sure she is safe." Patting his chest like a big adult, the kid firmly cocks his head high like a reliable fella.
Towards his son's attitude, Di Cang naturally found it funny. With a chuckle, this dangerous man was gone, disappearing from the grounds of the Lan estate for his predetermined destination.
"Boss," it was only a second later but this loud exclaiming cry had caught the kid and his tiger friend by surprise.
The loud voice with volume in it belonged to none other than Wang Xiaopeng. Rushing over to their spot, this chubby wasted no time to give his friend a hearty hug that could crush any ordinary kid around his age.
"I thought you've gone back already, how come you are over again Xiaopeng?" Curiously giving his friend a look, Bai Xiachen didn't understand the situation.
"I am here to say goodbye to you."
"Goodbye? You also have to leave?"
"That's right," scratching the back of his chubby head awkwardly, "we've been summoned back home. It will be my grandfather's birthday soon so me and my family are going back to celebrate it. I am here to say my farewells."
"Then congratulations," Bai Xiachen happily pats his friend's shoulder to show his support.
It's no secret Wang Xiaopeng was driven out of the Wang family due to his blunder at one time. For them to be summoned back for a celebration meant it's the sign of them being re-admitted back into the clan.
"What's there to congratulate?" Wang Xiaopeng puckers his lips in displeasure, "As if I would want to go back to face those meanies. Those people always frown upon me and my father. If not for Sister Bai Yan's Dan pills this time then they wouldn't even bat an eyelash at us, let alone call us back."
For a while there, Bai Xiachen didn't know how to comfort his friend and could only stay silent. Nevertheless, he eventually did: "Don't worry Xiaopeng, I will be there if you ever need my help. I got your back."
"No need," closing his eyes, the chubby immediately shakes his head, "I know you can't really help in these matters. Oh right, I still need to do something. My father told me to come say thanks to your mother. Where is Sister Bai Yan right now? I still need to see her."
"My mother, she..." His words came to an instant halt when he noticed that beautiful figure drawing near, "Mother!"
......
Not far away, Bai Yan just in the middle of heading for the front yard when she was called over by a loud tender voice from the side, followed closely by a soft tiny body crashing into her arms. He was like a spoiled kitten, snuggling that head into her chest like a child that wants their mother's milk again in light of his age.
"Mother, I missed you," that voice was like the calming sea, erasing every spec of fluster from the woman's heart.
Overwhelmed with warmth and happiness at her son's word, Bai Yan caresses the kid's head with care: "It was but a short period since I left you. Besides, didn't I had Little Rice take you to rest, why are you out here again?"
Chapter 415 "Overprotective Son (5)"
Looking all innocent in the face, the baby boy puts on the most brilliant smile to answer: "I'm always thinking about you Mother. Even if its just a second or a minute, it would be a year in my eyes. I'm always missing you Mother."
This little guy.... Bai Yan really didn't know whether to laugh or to cry, Really, who taught this kid these sweet sugary words.
As for the chubby that's watching this from the side, he was already at a loss for words. Gaping his mouth open in shock, So dealing with ones parent requires sweettalking.... Does that mean my old man would treat me better if I do that too?
"Xiaopeng, did you say your family is leaving just now?" Loosening her arms around the sweet little steambun, Bai Yan focuses back her attention on the chubby boy.
Hurrying to nod his big head: "That's right Sister Bai Yan, we are going back to our home and will likely be some time before we return. I came over because my pops told me to come say thanks for all your help. If not for your Dan pills then we would've likely never been able to go back."
Slightly quiet for a moment, Bai Yan spent a good minute to contemplate something before speaking: "I see, then mind if I and my son come along as well to your old home?"
"....." Wang Xiaopeng immediately widened his eyes.
Did I hear it wrong? Sister Bai Yan wants to go to the Wang House with us? That means I won't have to separate from Boss anymore!
"Mother?" Blinking his cute little eyes, Bai Xiachen didn't understand.
Mother would never do anything useless. Is there a reason why she is going to the Wang House?
"Let's go, I will first go meet your father and discuss it further."
Flickering a meaningful light in her eyes, Bai Yan still hasn't forgotten about the new information she got from the Flower Brothel, This time I must go to the Wang House and get to the bottom of this.
"That's too wonderful!" Excited to the point where his face was flushing red, Wang Xiaopeng urges the woman to move: "My old pops would surely be excited too after hearing this! Sister Bai Yan, Boss, let's go, I will show you to where my pops is."
...... While that was occurring next door, Wang Deqiu on the other hand was currently sweating around trying to organize everything for the trip with his daughter.
"Father!"
Startled over the outcry, the man had to take a second to realize it was his own son who was rolling over to him like a meatball.
"What are you doing?" His face stern and dark over the boy's poor manner of crashing into him.
"Father, I really miss you." Full of affection in his face, the chubby attempts to copy his friend's tactic immediately. Sadly, that only grossed his old pops up.
"What kind of crazy stuff are you trying to do now? All I did was to have you go next door, how long could that have been?"
"No Pops, even a second of not seeing you is equivalent to a year. I'm always thinking of you every second and every minu-."
PAAA!
Not even giving his son the opportunity to finish that corny statement, Wang Deqiu had already smacked down at the boy's head with his hand.
"Stinking brat, quit trying to gross me out! Every second and every minute? It's already bad enough as it is, now you want to gross me out even in my sleep? Hurry and get to work and pack everything up!" Without a second thought, the man readily tosses the chubby kid to one corner before turning back to his guests: "Miss Bai Yan, forgive my son for his antics. He's still young and not sensible, saying all that stuff to gross you out."
Probably feeling that wasn't enough to get the goosebumps out of his skin, Wang Deqiu promptly turned around to shoot another glare at his flabbergasted son. It was too creepy that this man almost had trouble believing his own ears.
Why did the reaction turn out so differently? I did exactly the same thing as Boss did when he used it on Sister Bai Yan. Poor Wang Xioapeng, he still doesn't understand that such a tactics would only work when one has the looks.
As for Bai Yan herself, she had to make an awkward cough because she knew this was partially her fault.
