Chapter 1056
From the void, the old man in gray slowly walked over. In a few steps, he arrived before Mu Qingyin.
His eyes were cold, like a venomous snake, causing Gu Yiyi to feel suffocated for a moment.
Mu Qingyin subconsciously protected Gu Yiyi in his arms and looked coldly at the old man who was walking toward him.
“On this earth, you can cross anyone, but you’re not allowed to cross my master!”
Boom!
A powerful force came toward Mu Qingyin as he raised his arm to block it. The strong force crashed against his body causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. His body swayed as he fell on one knee to the ground. Luckily, he had managed to stabilize his body in time.
“I am unable to bring you back and explain matters to the Gu Manor master.” Mu Qingyin turned his head and looked at Gu Yiyi, whose face was covered in tears. He carefully lifted his fingertips and brushed away her tears. “However, you don’t have to worry. Since I have chosen to come to this place, I will definitely protect you!”
Gu Yiyi’s tears flowed even more as it became more and more uncontrollable.
But she held onto Mu Qingyin’s hand increasingly firmly.
“Second Uncle, if we manage to make it back, let me be Nan Xian’s second aunt alright?”
She had never felt this way before.
Becoming Nan Xian’s second aunt would definitely infuriate Nan Xian to death!
“Little girl, you are still too young, so between us, it would not…”
“I don’t care. I want to become Nan Xian and Xiao Qing’s second aunt. Second Uncle, I’m already dying, and yet you are still unwilling to satisfy my request?”
Mu Qingyin looked down at the little girl before him and smiled gently.
For an instant, this smile was noble and elegant.
“Alright. I promise you.”
Afterall…
They could no longer return.
So… Why not fulfill this little girl’s wish to become an aunt?
Too bad, in the end, he was still unable to protect her and unable to give Gu Manor Master an explanation.
“Second Uncle…” Gu Yiyi stopped crying and broke into a smile. “Not sure if I’m hallucinating, but why do I hear a wolf howling from ahead? Usually, there would not be any spirit beasts appearing in Tianyue Kingdom. This place is different from Tian Shen Manor.”
Mu Qingyin smiled, not knowing how to answer.
That was because he could hear this hallucination of the sound too…
The man in gray was already very close by.
The sword in his hand was pointed at Mu Qingyin, and his gaze was sharp. He ruthlessly swung the sword over his head.
Mu Qingyin wrapped his arm around Gu Yiyi’s waist and dodged to the side. The sword cut into his shoulder, causing him to tremble from the pain. Blood was flowing out of the wound nonstop.
“Second Uncle!”
Gu Yiyi got angry and left Mu Qingyin’s embrace and rushed toward the man in gray.
The man in gray made no movement, but a glint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
“Howl!”
This was a wolf’s howl, coming from the forest not far away.
Following that was a tiger’s roar.
Gu Yiyi was stunned. This could not also be an auditory hallucination, could it?
She turned her head dumbfoundedly and what she saw stunned her.
A black wolf and a tiger rolled out from the bushes.
These two guys were rolling about like a ball, fighting as if they were humans. One punched the other and one clawed the other, making terrible and angry growls.
However…
When this tiger and wolf saw the humans that were staring at them with their mouths gaping, they too were stunned.
“Done fighting? Not going to fight even more?”
