Chapter 1891 - Reunion (7)
Chapter 1891 “Reunion (7)”
“Why do you need me to help you?” Bai Yan makes a perplexed face, “Couldn’t you go tell the Lord yourself?”
“I’m not going,” said Chu Yi Yi in an indignant fashion, “Father almost beat me because of the last incident where I ran away from home with Lan Xiaoyun.”
“He’s worried about you being in danger, don’t you understand?”
“I understand that, but I also want to train myself. This time he will definitely not let me go to the Celestial Realm if he finds out….” Chu Yi Yi clung onto Bai Yan’s arm and swung it left and right in a pleading fashion: “Bai Yan, help me this time, just this time. Father will listen to you if you help my case.”
Looking at her friend’s pitiful appearance, Bai Yan didn’t have the heart to reject the request and nodded: “Alright, I will let him know. Also, I want you to go find Little Rice in the Demon Realm first. He will have someone escort you to the Celestial Realm.”
The Demon Realm was her territory, much safer than the Celestial Realm so having her own people safeguard Chu Yi Yi during the route was a better plan in her opinion.
“Bai Yan, you and Xiao Xiao both managed to make it into the Celestial Realm on your own, I can do it to! If I continue to depend on others to do everything for me then I will never grow and have the strength to stand by his side.” There’s a determined glow that showed how much she wanted this, “So, I will go alone this time. Believe in me, I can protect myself.”
She doesn’t have the gift as Bai Yan does, nor the ability and fortitude of others, but she does have an unwavering heart. Without this experience to prove herself, Chu Yi Yi wouldn’t have the face to continue down this path where it would only get much more challenging with time.
“Okay.” Bai Yan knew she couldn’t change her friend’s mind and nodded after a brief thought, “But promise me you will go find my brother as soon as you head into the Celestial Realm.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely find him.”
Perhaps the thought of reuniting with that handsome young man, Chu Yi Yi’s cheek would immediately flush a red of fluttery shade.
“Sister Yi Yi.” Bai Xiachen pouts at the Holy Land princess after being ignored for so long, “You used to like me the most, but now all you talk about is my uncle. Did you even see me….”
Making a surprised face, Chu Yi Yi actually responded with the cruelest sentence: “Oh Xiachen, you’re back?”
“……”
A shattering sound filled the steambun’s soul like a scum just dumped him for someone else.
I didn’t even exist in her eyes until I called her out!
“Ling Yan and Jin Tian too, all of you are here?!” Chu Yi Yi gasps after seeing the three kids standing around and staring at herself.
Ling Yan with her stunned face: “….”
I also got ignored? Am I not cute enough? When did I become like Second Brother and can be ignored?
Unlike his twin sister and older brother though, Jin Tian the little glutton didn’t mind this and behaved cluelessly. With a pastry snack in hand, he happily waves hello to the girl: “Hello Auntie Yi Yi.”
Rubbing her temple at the silly nature of this scene, Bai Yan figured there’s no point dwelling on the carelessness of her friend. “It’s getting late Yi Yi, I better go see your father before leaving. I still need to visit the Medicine Sect afterward. You can use this opening to pack up before leaving.”
“Bai Yan, you are so nice to me.” Giving her friend a big hug, Chu Yi Yi suddenly kissed the demon queen on the cheek as gratitude.
She had intended to flee without packing anything since time was of the essence. But having extra clothes and money definitely helps.
Bai Yan appears stunned by the physical contact.
Bai Xiachen also popped his eyes out in shock.
Ling Yan on the other hand merely giggled in delight after seeing this.
And like usual, Jin Tian the little glutton only had food in mind and continued to eat his pastry.
“Sister Yi Yi, you’re done for….” After half a ring later, Bai Xiachen dropped this remark down with a black face, “If my father finds out you sexually harassed my mother, he will not let you go for this.”
“Ahumph,” Chu Yi Yi coughs awkwardly since she knew her action there went overboard. Raising to rub the steambun’s head, “What does a little baby know? I’m not disrespecting your mother, I’m only expressing my happiness. And also, don’t tell your father about this, okay?”
