Chapter 1277: Fan Xing, I’ve Finally Found You
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Xiaoxiao, yes, I admit that I’m a very selfish person. I also admit that my heart for the children is not as important as yours. In fact, to me, other than you, Shen Xiaoxiao, I don’t care too much about anyone else. I treat the children well because they are your children, born by you, and loved by you.”
Yan Kuan’s words sent shivers down Shen Xiaoxiao’s spine, but Yan Kuan’s words revealed his deep affection for her.
Shen Xiaoxiao didn’t know how to respond.
But Yan Kuan didn’t give Shen Xiaoxiao a chance to speak. He said again:
“If I had not met you, I, Yan Kuan, would have been alone. I would have been cold and heartless, or perhaps I would have been no different from Ye Xie. But I met you, Xiaoxiao. I have said it before. You are the most important part of me. You are more important than my life. I know that you care about the children, but the children are already over 18 years old. If they want to do anything now, they have to take responsibility for themselves. I have said that we are now ordinary people. We will slowly grow old. We cannot always be by their side, and we cannot always appear whenever and wherever they are in danger.”
“The best way to treat a child is to let go, understand?”
Shen Xiaoxiao knew that what he said was right, but she still felt uncomfortable.
“Even so, are we not going to care if something happens to the children?”
“It’s not that we’re not going to care. It’s that you have to know that your children are not ordinary people.”
The words ‘ordinary people’ made Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart feel as if it had been struck by a heavy blow. Yes, she admitted that she had indeed forgotten that the children were not ordinary people. She had also forgotten that Little Treasure’s status in the Netherworld was better than anyone else’s.
However, she still could not let go of Yan Kuan’s coldness towards the children.
“But your coldness makes my heart chill.”
Yan Kuan’s brows were tightly knitted as he said directly, “My coldness will not be toward anyone else. You clearly know that.”
“I–”
Shen Xiaoxiao could not finish her sentence because she was very conflicted. She knew how Yan Kuan treated her, but she just felt that Yan Kuan was too harsh and cold toward the children, however, she could not tell Yan Kuan how to treat her children. After all, Yan Kuan’s living environment since young was worse than hers. In fact, Yan Kuan treated the children pretty well, but… Was this father the one who was the easiest to let go of the child?
“Let me think about it.”
Yan Kuan did not rush her. He just held her hand and slowly walked down the mountain.
..
“Little Treasure, are you sure you’re alright?”
When Da Bao saw that Little Treasure was standing in front of her safe and sound, she felt that it was a little surreal.
“Did you forget that this is my bottom? At first, I almost forgot. I didn’t need to fall in with this just now. After all, I could still avoid Ye Xie’s palm strike. But later, I decided to go by myself. After all, there are so many wandering souls going down today. I want to go and take a look too.”
“Bullsh*t. But that Ye Xie is so terrifying. Why did that crystal turn black? How are we going to treat him in the future?”
“I’ll have to go to the Netherworld to find out about this tonight. Let’s go out first. He was kicked by Assistant Zhou, so he probably found a place to hide. But who do you think that Assistant Zhou is? He’s so powerful.”
“I don’t know, but they know ancient martial arts, so they must be mysterious people in Black Tornado. It’s not like you don’t know that the people in Black Tornado are very mysterious.”
“That’s right. They’re all invisible aristocratic families, so it’s very likely that there are some masters that we don’t know about. Dad is right. There’s always someone stronger than you. Da Bao, you don’t look well. You must have been tired just now. Let’s go out quickly.”
That night, Da Bao started to have a fever. Little Treasure wasn’t around. Shen Xiaoxiao watched as Da Bao took the medicine and closed the door before leaving. Every time she had a fever, Da Bao would only need to take the medicine and sleep for a night.
Therefore, although Shen Xiaoxiao was worried, she knew that it was best for Da Bao to have a good rest at this time.
However, she didn’t know that just after she left, a person appeared in Da Bao’s room.
..
He was dressed in a long black robe and had black hair. His aura was indescribably strange and demonic.
He stood by the bed and looked at Da Bao, who was lying on the bed muttering to herself. Her face had turned red due to the fever, and she would occasionally say a few words.
“Zhai Yue, Zhai Yue…”
This name made Ye Xie feel much more at ease, and even the coldness from before had lessened.
His hand slowly caressed Da Bao’s face. It was soft and smooth, and it looked completely different from what he remembered. However, it also had the same childish air.
“Fan Xing, I’ve finally found you…”
..
“Da Bao, why are you in a daze?”
Little Treasure saw that Da Bao looked a little strange after recovering from her illness, and she spoke much less.
Da Bao had never hidden anything from Little Treasure, so after thinking for a while, she said to Little Treasure, “I had a dream last night. I dreamed of a man dressed in black. He gave me a very familiar feeling. I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere before.”
“A man? Black?”
“Yeah, he… he seems to be… Zhai Yue?”
Little Treasure’s expression changed when he heard Da Bao mention the words Zhai Yue. It couldn’t be. She could dream about it even in her dreams? Didn’t they say that she wouldn’t remember it after she woke up from the dream?
“It’s just a dream. It’s normal to dream about things from my past life. Don’t take it to heart.”
Da Bao actually felt the same way.
“I think so too. I’ve said it before. This is something from my past life that has nothing to do with me.”
Hearing this, Little Treasure didn’t know whether to nod or shake his head. He thought for a moment before changing the topic and continued:
“Let’s talk about that ancient tomb. I heard from them that it will take at least a week to fill up the cave. After all, on the mountain, people need to cooperate, so time is relatively slow.”
“Oh, then let’s wait. Anyway, this place is green, so let’s take it as a vacation.”
“Yeah, the main thing is that these big-headed soldiers are very good. They are different from the dark guards. Let’s have a good spar with them. The next time we see Ye Xie, I will definitely not show mercy.”
“Yeah, is there any news about Ye Xie?”
“No, I heard that his assistant, Deng Liu, is also looking for him.”
“Oh, I see.”
Da Bao was deep in thought. She knew that Ye Xie was actually Zhai Yue in his previous life, so she did not know why she felt a little strange at this moment.
Night came.
Da Bao had a fever again. Little Treasure frowned. Did Da Bao have a bad relationship with this place? Why did she have a fever for two days in a row? But ah, he also knew that Da Bao would definitely recover the next day. Therefore, after giving her the medicine, he covered her with the blanket and walked out.
Similarly, once he left, a black shadow appeared in the room again.
He was still standing by the bed, muttering softly about what had happened between them…
