Chapter 385: The second round, he won!

Manluo felt uneasy when Chu Jin looked at her, but she still stiffened her neck:

"I won't go back! Why should I go with you just because you ask me to? I'm not an animal."

Chu Jin's brows were furrowed, his tone filled with suppressed anger:

"Just because I'm the child's father and you're the child's mother! You're such a cruel woman! You left me and my son in Nanzhao, waiting for you for months!"

Manluo looked at the two similar faces opposite her, one large and one small, staring at her with accusations on their faces. She suddenly felt short of breath, but she remained firm in her words:

"So what? It's only natural for you to raise your son yourself. Besides, what kind of father is this? You knew there was a war going on in the mountains, but you still took the risk of bringing him here? Get him out of here now!"

"If not, how could I find you?" Chu Jin refused to give in.

Manluo was speechless and couldn't think of any words to refute.

At this moment, a Nanzhao soldier stumbled in:

"Your Highness, Miss Manluo, something terrible has happened! Xiao Nanyan has broken through the Green Tail Gu Formation and is almost reaching the top of the mountain!"

Xie Zhan and Manluo were shocked.

Then, Manluo suddenly turned her head and glared at Chu Jin, asking harshly:

"Chu Jin, is this you who did this?"

Chu Jin snorted coldly and admitted frankly:

"That's right. Only if Xiao Nanyan wins and Xiyan returns to Tianqi with him, can you leave Nanzhao!"

Manluo was so angry that she jumped up and down, pointing at him and cursing:

"Damn you, why are you always ruining my plans? You're my nemesis!"

Xie Zhan was also furious. He clenched his fists and wanted to rush up to beat him, but when he saw Chu Jin still holding the child in his arms, he forced himself to hold back, glaring at him without saying a word.

Chu Jin ignored Xie Zhan, his eyes fixed on Man Luo, his tone softened:

"Manluo, I don't understand. We already have a child, so why don't you want to go back with me? If you're worried about Helian Feng and the others, I can promise you that once I find out the truth, if they really are the ones plotting to kill you, I will never get involved with them again. From now on, let's live a good life as a family of three, okay?"

A hint of emotion flashed in Manluo's eyes and her lips moved.

At this moment, little Chu Yue in Chu Jin's arms seemed to be frightened by the argument, or perhaps hungry. He pouted and cried out "wa", his voice as loud as a gong.

Chu Jin hurriedly tried to comfort her softly, and the tense atmosphere suddenly became funny.

When Manluo heard the little ancestor crying, her mind was suddenly in chaos.

She looked at the little face wrinkled with tears and kept muttering in her heart:

This child is quite cute, but why are his tear glands so developed? If he goes back with Chu Jin, won't he be entangled to death by the old and young clingy spirits?

She silently lit a candle for Xi Yan in her heart:

Xiyan, oh Xiyan, don't blame me for being unfair. I can't even protect myself, so you're on your own. It's your man who's been chasing you, and I don't want to get involved anymore. I'm afraid it wouldn't be pleasant to have your neck twisted by an evil spirit.

Besides, there is an old saying: "It is better to destroy a temple than to break up a marriage." You and that evil spirit are actually quite compatible. If it doesn't work out, you can just make do with each other.

What's more, with Chu Jin here, my poison skills can't be used at all. He is my nemesis. Now there is another little clingy spirit, what are I waiting for if I don't run?

After thinking about it, Manluo cursed and scolded Chu Jin, but she retreated to the edge of the woods without making a sound.

While Chu Jin was comforting the child, he suddenly ran away.

Xie Zhan stood there in a daze, not understanding Manluo's sudden move.

Chu Jin saw through her thoughts at a glance, sneered, picked up the child, and ran after her.

"Manluo, stop right there!"

Manluo cursed back as she ran:

"You bastard, why do you always cling to me? If you run away again, the little clingy guy will cry again!"

Strangely enough, little Chu Yue stopped crying as he stared at the purple shadow not far away whose feet were not touching the ground, with the sound of the wind whistling in his ears. Instead, he grabbed Chu Jin's clothes and giggled.

Seeing the figures of the family of three disappearing into the dense forest, Xie Zhan finally reacted and shouted:

"Manluo!"

Then, he followed from behind.

The few personal soldiers who stayed behind looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. They had no choice but to rush out of the dense forest to inform Prince Xie Lan and Xi Yan.

…

Let’s talk about Xiao Nanyan.

He led his soldiers and rushed towards the top of the mountain.

When they were nearing the top of the mountain, dozens of Nanzhao archers suddenly emerged from the bushes on both sides of the mountain. They drew their bows and drew their arrows in one go, and shot dense arrows at the Apocalypse team like locusts.

"Raise your shield!"

The shield bearers shouted in unison and quickly formed an iron wall. The arrows hit the shields with crackling sounds and sparks flew everywhere.

Xiao Nanyan glanced at the archers' hiding places on both sides of the mountain top and gave the order in a deep voice:

"The shieldmen and archers will alternately provide cover. Han Xiao, Mo Ren, take twenty secret guards with good light skills and make a detour from the steep slopes on both sides. Make sure to subdue those archers."

"yes!"

Han Xiao and Mo Ren followed the order, and more than twenty figures rushed out like civet cats, rushing towards the steep slope under the cover of shields.

They stepped on the cracks in the rock wall, and their figures shuttled through the bushes like ghosts, and in a flash they were behind the archers.

When the archers saw someone attacking them from behind, they were horrified and no longer cared about shooting arrows. They fought with Han Xiao and others.

How could they be a match for Han Xiao, Mo Ren and the others? In just a few moments, they were all subdued.

"My Lord, the obstacles have been cleared!"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Nanyue had already led his soldiers to the top of the mountain.

Two vanguard officers firmly planted the flag of apocalypse at the highest point of the mountain.

The flags fluttered in the mountain breeze in the hall, as if announcing the victory of the contest.

Xiao Nanyue looked at the flag fluttering in the wind, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

In the second round, he won!
