BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1889 - Reunion (5)”
Only a lifetime of gratitude could be used as compensation for those feelings and kindness.
“Bai Yan!!!” A voice of joy came from behind and caused the demon queen to turn around.
Immediately, a woman wearing a yellow dress of flowers had come into view. She’s young and full of lively energy, which brought the mood to a whole new level of joy.
“Bai Yan, I miss you so much…” Chu Yi Yi pitifully states this, her arms wrapped firmly around the other side’s figure like she couldn’t believe this reality.
“I miss you too Yi Yi. But before we continue, I like to know why you are back in the Holy Land. Where’s my brother Bai Xiao? Weren’t you two together?”
Taken aback by the sudden question, Chu Yi Yi the mischievous princess of the Holy Land didn’t give a straightforward answer like she usually would. Instead, she looks up to meet her friend’s gaze before pursing those lips into a sad line.
“He’s still in the Celestial Realm. I miss my old man so I came back first to see him….” Though she says that, it’s obvious she’s reluctant to go over the full details of the story.
Able to discern this much based on her assessment, Bai Yan knew this problem must be solved between themselves. Love could not be forced, that’s something she learned long ago.
“Yi Yi, I know my brother’s temperament is hard to grasp due to how neutral he is. It’s difficult for him to express himself sometimes. If there is a misunderstanding between the two of you, or if he’s bullying you, I will help you teach him a lesson. Is that good?”
Bai Xiao was her brother, but Chu Yi Yi was also her sister and dear friend. So of course she would help give a push to their relationship.
“Bai Yan…” Chu Yi Yi’s heart shook at this support, “It’s not Xiao Xiao’s issue, it’s my own. I feel like my strength is too weak and cannot help him.”
That said, the princess promptly looks back up with a firm light of determination in those eyes.
In the past she had always been pampered due to her status as the princess of the Holy Land, one of the three great powers in the human world. But after experiencing the indignation and difficulties of the Celestial Realm, it’s come to the lass that it’s not alright to continue like this. She has pride too. Being a damsel in distress has never been her way.
“Yi Yi,” Bai Yan pats her friend’s shoulder, “when it comes to a relationship, status isn’t important so you need to stop worrying about such things. My brother is dull like that, haven’t you realized that by now?”
“I…” Chu Yi Yi’s eyes got all red and emotional, her throat choking for a proper response.
“Yi Yi, I only want to ask you this: if Bai Xiao is only the son of a powerless Bai House in the Liu Huo Kingdom, would you still favor him?” The demon queen stares into her friend’s eye with a solemn expression.
“Of course I will. I didn’t like him because of his identity. Even if he’s weak and powerless, I will not abandon him.”
When she fell in love with Bai Xiao, it was back when he had nothing and standing before the burning pyre of the Bai House. She ached for him, at the same time loved him for being determined despite all the hurdles in life.
