…

In an ancient tree outside the courtyard, a skinny man hid his entire body within the branches of the tree. He felt Bai Yan swept a glance over and was shocked. A sense of guilt arose in his heart.

Could it be that he had been noticed by this piece of trash?

“Elder Sis…” Bai Xiao was just about to ask Bai Yan about matters pertaining Bai Xiaochen, but he saw the corner of Bai Yan’s lips curled up and her fingers interlocked with her gaze slightly narrowed.

“Xiao Mi, go and settle that fly who is following.”

“Meow.”

Xiao Mi meowed and speedily rushed toward the outside of the courtyard.

Bai Xiao was stunned for a while and just as he regained his senses, a heart-piercing scream could be heard coming from outside the courtyard.

“Ah!”

In the ancient big tree, a skinny figure fell, ruthless crashing into the ground.

His neck had a bite mark and blood was flowing. His opened eyes clearly indicating that he died with a grievance.

“Ah, ptui ptui.”

The little white tiger walked over to him with elegant steps from outside the door, spitting on the ground, removing the blood within its mouth. It raised its paw to wipe off the blood traces at the corner of its lips while complaining, “This human’s blood is really too difficult to swallow. I still prefer the roasted meat made by you, Master.”

Bai Xiao, who was originally shocked by Xiao Mi’s cultivation, was further shocked as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard the little white tiger before him speaking the human tongue. He even almost lost consciousness out of the shock.

“Elder Sis…” Bai Xiao wanted to cry without tears. “Why does this little cat know how to speak?”

Bai Yan swept a glance at Xiao Mi and replied, “Because it is a demon beast.”

Before Bai Xiao, Bai Yan did not really make Xiao Mi continue to hide its identity. Anyway, he would know about it sooner or later.

“But, there are only a few demon beast on the mainland. Furthermore, even the Demon Beast Sect are unable to tame this demon beast.”

In reality, demon beasts were very noble in the mainland, as they could help humans during fights and were the best fighting partners to humans. It was a pity that demon beasts were not able to be tamed by just anyone.

Even the Demon Beast Sect was unable to tame a demon beast that could already speak the human language.

Tell me, how could Bai Xiao not have been shocked?

“Don’t you feel pleasantly surprised?” Bai Yan shrugged and smiled widely.

‘Pleasantly surprised?’

Bai Xiao felt very wronged. “If it were not for my heart being strong enough, I would have been shocked to death by you. That’s right, tell me first, what is going on with Chen’er? Is he really your son?”

Seeing Bai Xiao’s eyes which were lit up, Bai Yan nodded. “His name is Bai Xiaochen. He is my son! However, I do not wish for other people to know of his existence for now.”

With this, Bai Xiao finally understood why Bai Xiaochen targeted Bai Zhi.

It turns out that he was Elder Sister’s child.

“Elder Sis, I understand. I will protect him together with you.”

At this moment, Bai Xiaochen had already cleaned up his little face. That little pinkish, jade-like face was even more adorable than it had been earlier when he was still dirty.

Bai Xiao saw that the sky was slowly turning dark and a hint of helplessness appeared on his handsome face. “The sky is turning dark. I should return.”

“You had opposed Bai Zhi for Chen’er’s sake. She would definitely report this to Bai Zhenxiang. From what I see, it is still better if you don’t go back to the Bai family.” Bai Yan frowned as her tone contained a trace of worry.

Bai Xiao shook his head. “I am Bai Zhenxiang’s only son. At most, he would give me a scolding. He wouldn’t hurt me. Elder Sis, I’ve said it before, I want to snatch back everything that belongs to us siblings and definitely not let the mother-daughter duo gain an advantage!”

Bai Yan opened her mouth and was about to continue advising him, but after she saw Bai Xiao’s determined look, she took back those words.

“No matter what matters you face, come and seek me here. With me around, nobody can hurt you.”

“Alright.” Bai Xiao smiled. He lowered his gaze and his fingers gently patted Bai Xiaochen’s little head. “Chen’er, let’s meet again another day. Uncle will come and visit you again.”
