Chapter 742 “Forgive Me, Okay? (6)”
Based on what excuse could he stop them from leaving? Heck, what right does he even have to say he could?
So, in his desperation, Di Cang did what he knew best and used action to speak for itself.
“Scram!” Irritated, Bai Yan bites down at that unwanted lip, causing it to bleed and the blood to fill her taste bud with strong flavor of iron.
Even so, aside from the initial pain and diluting of his eyes over the shock, he continued to hold her tight like a greedy pig that he was at the moment.
“Don’t force me!” In her rage, Bai Yan resorts to using force and slams hard at the man’s chest.
In an instant, the man staggers backward as a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
“Di Cang!” Exclaiming with great fright, Bai Yan was both annoyed and worried at her husband’s pale complexion: “Why did you not dodge?”
“If letting you punch me can quell your anger then I’ll gladly take it. Even if you get a knife to stab me a few times, I still won’t dodge!”
Taking the opportunity to grasp onto that dainty hand, the man’s lip had curved into a dumb grin: “Forgive me, okay?”
She didn’t reply right away, only lowering her head like she’s thinking of something as her heart pounded away from the indecision.
“Yan Yan, I really know I am wrong,” tightening his grasp onto hers to not give any room for wiggling, “you said you wanted the Celestial Realm before so I was busy mustering the forces on them. The reason I didn’t tell you is because I wanted it to be a surprise, I honestly didn’t expect you to misunderstand that. Please, I won’t keep anything from you from here on afterwards.”
Jerking up in surprise, the woman’s voice sounded shaky: “I… I was only joking back then, how could you take my careless remark as real?”
“……” A droplet of sweat came pouring down the idiot’s side, But I took it seriously….
“Yan Yan, you should know by now I would take anything you say with absolute seriousness.” All firm in his voice, he locked eyes with his love to show that conviction.
Pursing her lip against that intense stare: “Since you have already begun your attack on the Celestial Realm… fine, I will lower myself into accepting the difficult task of ruling that world. However, I don’t need you to solely carry on that burden using only your strength, I prefer to do it myself!”
Although Bai Yan did not say it outright, the man still got enough from those words to understand what she meant – she’s going to join the battle and fight alongside him.
“Yan Yan, does that mean you will forgive me?” Delighted in his face, Di Cang’s focus remains forever locked on his wife’s contour.
Against the excited voice, Bai Yan immediately got dubious and started to suspect something because of how quickly Di Cang recovered from her attack: “Aren’t you injured still by my punch? How come….”
Going stiff like a rock, it’s obvious he’s been caught. Hurrying to come up with a proper excuse after seeing the darkening expression of his wife: “Yan Yan, everything I said is true so can you forgive me? I won’t move or dodge if you want to stab me with a knife, and…. because you had just broken into the Monarch Rank not long ago, I’m impervious to your attacks….”
Steaming in her darkish red face, Bai Yan now got the gist of it. So is he looking down at me because my powers are lower than his?
“If I didn’t hurt you then why are you pretending? And you also spit blood out as well!”
He admits faking his injury was bad, but Di Cang was innocent on the second charge that’s being pressed against himself. If you didn’t bite me so hard then I wouldn’t have bled….
