Chapter 208 No regrets, but regrets

Look around.

The world is filled with corpses and blood, and is on the verge of collapse.

This is the final battle between light and darkness.

At the moment when the Dawn Sword pierced into his heart with a wail, Yun Qingqing's eyes remained firm and without regrets.

But also regrettable.

If she could be stronger, stronger... could she have stopped all this earlier and not have it come to this?

Unfortunately, when I made the decision, I already knew there would be no second chance.

A heart-wrenching call came from afar.

Who is it?

She turned her head slowly, but she still couldn't see the man's face clearly before her soul flew away...

Yun Qingqing suddenly opened her eyes and found herself still sitting on the small couch.

The dream just now...

I still only remember dreaming about my past life, but when I thought about it more carefully, it disappeared like light smoke and mist, leaving no trace.

At her current level, she is unable to use any magic to spy on her past life, even her past life in a dream.

She rubbed her forehead and stopped thinking about it.

When she came to her senses, her ears suddenly twitched and she looked towards the bed where Xiao Changheng was sleeping.

Through the gauze curtain, one could vaguely see that the person inside had sat up, and could hear suppressed gasps.

She could feel the gaze of the person inside was on her.

Yun Qingqing stood up and walked over.

As her hand touched the edge of the curtain, a big hand suddenly reached out from inside, grabbed her wrist, pulled her in, and fell into a hot embrace.

Yun Qingqing supported his chest, raised her head quickly and was about to speak, but stopped when she saw his expression.

The man's forehead was covered with sweat, the corners of his eyes were red, and his eyes were filled with grief and panic mixed with a bit of confusion.

When he met her gaze, the emotions in his eyes gradually faded, returning to the unfathomable depth she was used to seeing.

She could even hear his chest beating like a drum, which gradually calmed down from rapid beats.

Yun Qingqing frowned and said:

"Having a nightmare?"

Xiao Changheng was startled when he heard this, and after a moment he lowered his eyes and let go:

“…I can’t remember clearly.”

Yun Qingqing stared at him for a moment, nodded, stood up, drew aside the curtains, and opened the window to let the sunlight into the room.

"The carriage to pick us up should be arriving soon. I'll go take a look."

Xiao Changheng watched her leave quietly, then he withdrew his gaze, slowly pressed his big hand against his chest, and clenched his fist.

It was that dream again. Every time I woke up, my mind was empty and I couldn't remember anything, but I could always clearly realize that it was the same dream.

But this time was different from the past. The heart-wrenching pain in the dream was real, and I still felt scared after waking up.

Until she came into sight, the empty heart was suddenly filled again, and the inexplicable panic suddenly dissipated.

Xiao Changheng spread out his palms, stared for a long time, then slowly clenched them. A voice in his heart kept clamoring, becoming more and more firm.

…

When this mountain stronghold was raided, most of its money and supplies were looted. However, Nan Zheng and his companions found some food stored by some human traffickers and cooked a simple meal.

While waiting for the meal, Yun Qingqing discovered that the guards of the palace had carried out many boxes from somewhere. When they opened one of the boxes, they found it was full of gold, silver and jewelry.

She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows:

"Where did this come from?"

There are only a few human traffickers, and it doesn't seem like they can save up so much treasure. If they really have so much money, they wouldn't do such a thing as trafficking girls.

Yan Haochu sighed behind her:

"These were all found by Tongtong."

Yun Qingqing heard from Yan Haochu about the heroic deeds of her new disciple.

Of course, he also heard it from the rescued girls -

The old woman took Tongtong away because she was so pretty and she wanted to sell her for more money.

However, when the child got to the mountain, he didn't cry or make a fuss, but kept smiling at the human trafficker.

He ran to a corner under the table and somehow picked out a large silver ingot, which was the ingot that had been dropped by the traffickers when they were counting the money.

The human traffickers were so pleased with the baby that they said it was a lucky star and could not be sold but had to be kept well.

Baby was not afraid of strangers. She sat in his arms and ate the fruits on the table. During the meal, she also liked to touch the porridge and soup prepared specially for her, and kept reaching out for the meat and vegetables.

The leader of the human traffickers was even happier. He said that the child would follow him and he might as well adopt her as his goddaughter and let her call him daddy.

The baby giggled and clapped its hands, but it seemed like it didn't understand what he said. It just laughed and didn't call for help no matter how he coaxed it.

The human trafficker leader didn't think much about it. He just thought that the child was too young to call him dad, so he would just teach him slowly in the future.

As a result, when the leader of the human traffickers went out to do other things, Wawa suddenly shouted "Daddy" to the second-in-command of the human traffickers!

The second child was startled, but also a little proud. He said that the kid just now refused to call him the eldest child, but now he takes the initiative to call him. Does this mean that the lucky star doll has a stronger affinity with him?

Later, the little kid whispered something in the second-in-command’s ear. He suddenly became mysterious and left with the kid in his arms.

The second human trafficker reappeared, only to be brought back with a knife held against him by the eldest.

The two men became enemies and had a big quarrel. It turned out that Wawa led the second-in-command to find a cellar behind the mountain, which was full of treasures stored by the bandits.

The second-in-command's eyes turned green with envy, and he immediately decided to keep the matter secret. After his accomplices moved their hideout, he would find an excuse to go their separate ways and quietly come back to move the treasure.

There were so many good things in the cellar that he couldn't help but put a handful of pearls and jade in his arms before leaving.

But just after returning to the village, he was "accidentally" exposed by the baby. The boss immediately became suspicious of him, snatched the baby and took him back with a knife.

The second in command kept shouting that it was a misunderstanding, but the little baby clapped his hands and giggled, saying that daddy said all the treasures were his and he would buy the baby enough chicken legs to eat in the future.

The boss was furious at the time, and the second-in-command also wanted to kill him when he saw the situation was not good. His face changed immediately and he pointed at Miss Guan’s door and said:

"She ran away! Catch her!"

The boss subconsciously turned around to check, and the second-in-command looked fierce and drew his knife to stab the boss in the heart.

The boss realized something was wrong and tried to dodge immediately, but it was too late. At the last moment, he slashed the second-in-command's neck with a knife, and both of them died.

The other human traffickers were dumbfounded, not knowing what to do. Then the little kid clapped his hands and laughed again. He was not afraid at all and even put his little hands into his mouth and whistled.

Soon after, one could hear wolf howls all around. The wolves, which never approached the village before, suddenly rushed in regardless.

Those wolves were very evil. At first, someone ran into the house and closed the door tightly, but the wolf knew how to break through the window and jump in directly. Soon, screams were heard in the house.

The girls hid in the house and shivered. Fortunately, the wolves were only busy chasing the human traffickers fleeing outside and did not seem to notice that there were still people inside.

Later, the howling of wolves and human voices outside gradually disappeared, and they did not dare to move until Yun Qingqing and others appeared.

After Yan Haochu finished speaking, a questioning look appeared on his face, and he lowered his voice and asked Yun Qingqing:

"Hey, Master, do you think the wolves really didn't find the room where those women were imprisoned? Or... their only target was the human traffickers?"

"Those wolves...seem to listen to Tongtong very much?"
