Adorable treasured fox: Divine Doctor Mother Overturning The Heavens!
Chapter 1172 - “Familiarity (7)”Chapter 1172 “Familiarity (7)”
“Bai Ning, your name is Bai Ning?” Bai Xiachen hurriedly gripped onto the lady’s sleeve, his voice shaking with disbelief and excitement: “Then do you know a man by the name of Yun Feng?”
“Yun Feng?” She frowned and pondered the name for a second, feeling a sense of familiarity that’s just out of her reach. “I’m sorry, I don’t know anyone by that name.”
Don’t know?
She doesn’t know Grandfather?
The boy tightly bit down on his own lips at the notion.
If the name is just a coincidence then why does she look so much like Mother?
Reluctant to give up, he insists on the question: “Please think harder, are you sure you don’t know someone by then name Yun Feng?”
“Should I be knowing him?” Bai Ning asked curiously.
That was the nail in the coffin for the kid. That countering question hurts and made him let go.
“Gege (big brother),” Dragony tugs at the little steambun’s hand after seeing where this was going, “Can it be….”
Ignoring the girl’s murmur, Bai Xiachen grew firm in the face since things are at this stage. He got a great idea and was determined to make it work. “Forgive us, I thought you might be our long-lost grandmother because of your name and similar appearance. It seems I made a mistake.”
Looking at the little guy’s pathetic expression, Bai Ning’s heart couldn’t get angry here and softens up: “Little boy, I’m sure you will find your mother and grandmother in due time, don’t worry.”
“But …” Hanging his little head, the boy deliberately changes his voice to that of grievance to earn more pity points, “I only got Dragony by my side, and there are so many bad people always trying to hurt us. These two bodyguards are absolutely unreliable.”
One could literally see the twitch in Dragony Flame and Half Qing Sing’s face when he said that.
Unreliable? He’s sure he’s talking about us?
Due to the two old demons hiding their strength along the way, no one would suspect they are powerful ancient monsters, nor would they think otherwise on the boy’s lie.
“You mean, someone is trying to harm you?” Pricking her brow, Bai Ning almost doubted her own ears because it’s really hard to believe someone would want to harm such cute kids.
Knowing the bait has been bitten, Bai Xiachen hurries to sniffle his nose like he’s about to cry: “Pretty Granny, can you take me and my sister in? We are homeless already. Our father doesn’t want us and our mother is missing. If you don’t take us then we will sooner or later die at the hands of those bad people out there.”
In the boy’s view he didn’t lie on that last bit about Di Cang never wanting him, only his mother. In fact, he’s got this idea that he’s some sort of orphan picked up from the streets due to his old man’s unfriendly nature.
Ready to melt from the sad story, Bai Ning didn’t need to think at all and accepted the kids. Rubbing the boy on the head: “Alright, you two will come with me from now on. Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone hurt you or your sister from now on.”
Elated at his own success, the little sneaky fox almost couldn’t hold back his own mischievous grin in that moment. Thankfully he’s got plenty of practice in the past and kept it down, otherwise he would be caught right then and there.
“Thank you, Pretty Granny.” Both kids happily said that.
“You two, your tongues are too sweet. Oh right Xiachen, what happened to one of your eyes?” The condition of that red eye has been bothering this lady for a while already so she got right to it.
Now the tears finally started to trickle down the boy’s face, however, only the regular blue one was crying, the red one remaining dry as ever.
“My eye was poisoned.” Rubbing his red one like some bullied child, “Those bad people wanted to hurt me, but now that I got Pretty Granny protecting me, I won’t have to be afraid of those people anymore.”
