Chapter 1863 “Reunion (2)”

“Don’t worry, you will definitely grow to be as strong as your big brother.”

“Really?” Jin Tian’s eyes shined with sparkles at the support, “Auntie, when I grow up I will protect you.”

“Hmm?” Di Xiao Wan couldn’t help but chuckle, “It will be a very long time still before you grow old enough you silly.”

“No, no, it won’t be long.” Jin Tian shakes his head like a rocking drum to refute that claim, “I heard Big Brother was already roaming the world with mother when he was five…. When I turn five I too will be old enough to fight.”

Biting his thumb, that appearance couldn’t get any more cuter: “I’m already two this year, there’s only three years left…. Auntie, wait three years for me. Afterwards, I will be able to protect you.”

Big Brother said I must be a man, which means I need to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the girls of the family too. Since Auntie is a girl too, I will protect her when I grow up.

Di Xiao Wan couldn’t take it anymore and began smooching the little glutton’s cheek repeatedly. It’s too lovely, the best thing she’s ever heard from a kid in all her life.

“Then auntie here will wait for that day. You are too sensible.”

After State Teacher’s death, this moment would be one of the brightest for the demon princess. There’s been too many sad events lately so she needed this lift up.

“Ewww~ Auntie, you’re making my face all icky…” Wiping his face with that cheek pouting in displeasure, “Bug Brother said a man can only kiss the woman they like. Since I already gave Mother my heart, only Mother can kiss me.”

Twitching in the corner of her mouth, the demon princess almost wanted to cry foul.

When did Jin Tian learn to be so sweet in his way of speaking?

He’s literally a second Bai Xiachen in the making….

But it does make sense now that I thought about it. Big Bro and Sister-in-law are both outstanding people, it’s no wonder their children as so good as well. Oh I’m so envious!

However, their little play did not last for long after another louse explosion brought their attention back to the battlefield. It was the steambun making another charge at the main forces of the attackers. The young teen was sweeping through their ranks.

……

Bai Xiachen had slain more foes than he could ever count by this point. And finally, the last enemy had fallen to his sword with that final slash. Turning around, he returns to Di Cang’s side after sheathing the blade into the scabbard.

“Xiachen!” Di Xiao Wan didn’t wait and ran over first to examine her nephew’s health. Thankfully there’s nothing wrong with the boy according to her assessment aside from the amount of blood covering that robe.

“I’m glad you’re alright…” Bai Xiachen returns with a smile at her over panicking aunt, “Auntie, you are worrying too much. See, I’m perfectly fine. Don’t worry about me because I’ve grown up now.”

He’s almost nine years old now, no longer a kid that needs to be babied like his younger siblings.

“You little rascal, you will always be a child to your auntie here.” Di Xiao Wan puckers her lips to make herself look disappointed. “Wait until you take a wife, then I will say you are grown up.”
