Yu Xingqiao didn't know what to say.
This was the first time he faced life and death directly, and it was still in such a tragic way.
As soon as he said something, the woman raised her blood-stained hand and pressed it on the back of his hand.
The cool softness made tears fall from the corners of Yu Xingqiao's eyes, dripping on the woman's skirt.
"sorry… "
Yu Xingqiao murmured, "I know you are just illusions, you can't hear what I said, but I promise you, I will take good care of Xiaoli and let him live well."
The woman's eyes became softer, as if she really heard it.
She opened her mouth weakly, and mourned: "Child, go, get out of here..."
And the blond man holding her also raised his head. He is tall and strong, his facial features are 70% similar to Jun Lu's, but he is more resolute and steady than a young man, and he has the majesty of a king unconsciously.
Yu Xingqiao was overwhelmed by his momentum.
However, when he met his pair of golden eyes, his constricted heart got a little bit of relaxation.
The eyes of the former king of the Guangyao Empire are filled with sorrow and reluctance.
He looked deeply at Yu Xingqiao, under Yu Xingqiao's blank gaze, his chest trembled, and a line of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
Yu Xingqiao looked at him helplessly.
He knew that at this moment he was playing the role of Xiao Li.
So... In addition to witnessing the death of his mother, Xiaoli also has his father
What a desperate scene is this
The blond man didn't speak, but raised his right hand and landed it on his shoulder silently.
"Da da-"
At this time, crisp footsteps sounded behind him.
Yu Xingqiao turned his head subconsciously, and saw a silver-haired man holding a scepter stepping out of the shadows, looking down at them.
He also looked very embarrassed, his left hand seemed to be injured, dripping with blood, but he didn't seem to notice it.
this person…
Looking at this strange man, Yu Xingqiao suddenly realized something—
He is Sal!
The chief culprit of Zai Zai's tragedy!
Sal didn't look at him, his eyes were fixed on the blond man, and after a long time, a smile suddenly appeared on his indifferent face.
"She's going to die." He glanced at Queen Liya and said lightly.
Yu Xingqiao felt the palms on his shoulders tighten, he looked at the blond man, his eyes were so complicated, various emotions were changing, and finally it was frozen into death-like sadness. He looked up at Thrall.
"I'm going to die too," he said softly.
The silver-haired man's indifferent expression froze suddenly, and he shook his head very, very slowly.
"Your Majesty..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, a light screen suddenly lit up on his body.
"Kacha Kacha—"
The light screen shattered like glass, as if blocking some attack.
Thrall narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes fell on Yu Xingqiao, the silver-grey eyes shone with disgust and fierce light—
Probably, it was what Jun Lu did to him at that time.
"Little brat..." His angry low voice seemed to overflow from the back molars.
Then, Yu Xingqiao realized—his body couldn't move.
He watched as Sal raised his hand and pressed it on top of his head, a cold aura mixed with death threats enveloped him.
He didn't understand how it happened at all. When he came back to his senses again, he was already protected by the blond man, and then several figures appeared out of nowhere.
"Your Highness..." Someone hugged him and whispered in his ear.
"Take him away."
The blond man turned his back to them, and raised his hand to grab the scepter in Thrall's hand.
Thrall's expression changed, and he confronted him with a hideous face.
"His Majesty!"
The person hugging Yu Xingqiao wanted to rush over, but was blocked by a golden light, and then, the majestic voice of the man sounded angrily——
"Take him away, immediately!"
The guards paused and finally took their orders.
Just like that, Yu Xingqiao was hugged by the guards, and watched helplessly as the back of the man holding the woman gradually moved away from him.
He suddenly understood Xiaoli's mood at that time.
It turns out that what is more cruel and desperate than watching your parents die in front of you is——
There's nothing you can do but run away from the villains who killed them...
Jun Lu looked around vigilantly.
When the scene in front of him changed and the boy disappeared in front of him, he knew he had fallen into an illusion.
His mood was fairly calm, and the only thing that worried him was probably Yu Xingqiao.
'System, master, how is he doing? ' he asked in his mind.
[he's good]
The text of the system appeared in front of his eyes, which reassured Jun Lu a little, but he was not completely relieved.
He had to get out of this illusion as soon as possible and return to Qiaoqiao.
'System, do you know what kind of illusion this is? '
Jun Lu looked around, it was a very ordinary room, except that it was unusually clean and a bit empty, there was nothing special about it.
[fear]
The system text jumped out again.
Jun Lu couldn't help frowning.
fear
'What fear? ' he asked.
However, the system didn't talk to him anymore, remaining indifferent as usual.
Jun Lu was already used to it, so he stopped asking, and looked around the neat and clean room, looking for clues to leave.
As he took a step, he sensed movement in the corner.
Jun Lu didn't move forward, but extended his mental power over, and was on guard cautiously.
Then, he saw a...
little boy
The little boy was about four or five years old, short in stature, hiding in the gap formed by the cabinet and the corner of the wall, his whole body curled up.
He buried his face in his knees, trembling slightly.
Who is this kid
Jun Lu frowned slightly.
When he was secretly vigilant, the little boy suddenly raised his head, revealing a small face sculpted in pink and jade.
For a moment, Jun Lu was stunned.
Although the facial features are much more immature, and the glutinous baby fat is also rounder than the thin face now, Jun Lu still recognized him at a glance——
This is Qiaoqiao.
In other words, Qiaoqiao in his childhood.
Xiao Xingqiao curled up in the corner, looking up in one direction, his big eyes filled with longing.
Jun Lu followed his line of sight.
It was a glass window, simple and very ordinary.
What is he longing for
Jun Lu blinked his eyes, he was still thinking, when he suddenly heard sobbing that he tried his best to hold back.
He couldn't help looking at Xiao Xingqiao.
I saw that the little boy's eyes were full of tears, and as he sniffed his nose a little, big teardrops suddenly began to fall down.
Looking at him, Jun Lu felt a hand clenched his heart, which made him feel overwhelmed by the pain.
What's going on here? Why is he crying so sadly
"Woo..."
The little boy pursed his lips, and finally couldn't help crying.
"Mom..." he called softly.
The empty room, no one responded to him.
"Dad... Brother..."
"Don't you all want me?"
The small childish voice, full of helpless murmurs, was like a wounded little animal, which broke my heart.
What exactly is going on
Is this what actually happened
Questions lingered in Jun Lu's mind, but hearing the little boy's cry, he could no longer control himself.
Jun Lu withdrew his mental power and strode towards the little boy.
The sound of crisp and hurried footsteps sounded in the room.
"elder brother?"
The little boy curled up in a ball followed the sound in surprise, but when he saw Jun Lu, the bright light in his eyes suddenly disappeared.
"Who are you?"
He covered his mouth and nose, and hid back in fear.
Sensing his panic, Jun Lu stopped and slowly squatted down in front of him.
There was an arm's length between them.
The little boy curled up in the corner, like a helpless kitten, his eyes were wide open, looking warily at the strange boy who suddenly appeared in the room.
Jun Lu looked at him, not knowing what to say for a while.
Is this really an illusion
The system just said... fear? So what kind of fear is this
He stretched out his hand and slowly approached the little boy, wanting to confirm whether he was real.
The little boy looked at his hand, a little terrified, but also had some vague expectation that he couldn't understand.
He shrank into the corner, but there was no room behind the corner, no matter how much he retreated, he couldn't retreat much, so in the end, he was still succeeded by Jun Lu.
Jun Lu stroked his hair.
Soft, fine, cub hair feels so real to the touch.
Feeling his touch, the little boy went from panic and terror at the beginning to slowly calming down. He raised his eyelashes and stared at his palm without blinking.
His eyes were full of curiosity as if he was being touched on the head for the first time.
Jun Lu was so cute by his innocent appearance.
"Qiaoqiao." He called softly and tenderly.
Xiao Xingqiao blinked, tilted his head and asked, "How do you know my name?"
"I also know...you like candy, and you are most afraid of bugs." Jun Lu said with a smile.
Xiao Xingqiao opened his eyes wide, "How do you know?"
"Can you tell me, why are you afraid of bugs?" Jun Lu had already forgotten that this was an illusion, he looked at the little boy in front of him, and his heart softened.
"Because I was bitten by ants, it hurt so bad..."
As he spoke, tears filled the little boy's eyes again.
Junlu felt a headache.
He hesitated, stretched out his hand cautiously, and touched the little boy's thin shoulder.
Confirming that there was no danger, he gently squeezed the little boy into his arms.
The little boy seemed frightened.
He stared at him with wide eyes, forgetting to cry for a moment.
"Don't cry." Jun Lu stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the teardrops from the corners of his eyes with his fingertips.
The little boy really stopped crying.
He stayed in his arms, stretched out his little fingers, touched his face lightly, then retracted as if he had been electrocuted, and he didn't seem to notice the danger, and he touched him again.
"I've met you!" he exclaimed joyfully, with a joy that Jun Li couldn't comprehend.
"Well, you met me."
Jun Lu didn't understand, so he nodded.
The little boy grinned and showed a silly smile, then he looked at Jun Lu carefully and said, "Little brother, your eyes are red."
The boy couldn't help but pause.
little brother
He looked at the little boy in his arms, slightly curled the corners of his mouth, "Yes, my eyes are red."
The little boy's face was flushed, and he carefully clasped his neck with his hands, and said, "It's so beautiful, just like a ruby."
Jun Lu's smile deepened.
Then, he heard the little boy ask with some expectation: "Little brother, can you take me out to play?"
