Chapter 220 From now on, we will protect you
"Then I—"
Jiang Wangyue wanted to ask if she could go with them, but after seeing the look in her father's eyes, she decisively changed her mind: "Then Ethan and I will go back and wait for news from you, Dad."
Chen Yanzhou raised his hand and rubbed her hair, slowing down his tone: "Rest early, I may be back very late."
"be safe."
"good."
As night fell, Jiang Wangyue watched Chen Yanzhou's figure completely disappear in the darkness, then she hid the lower half of her face in her scarf and turned around with Ethan.
The two of them walked towards the black market, one step deep and one step shallow.
Perhaps because they had been attacked by a star beast in the evening, the surroundings were quiet, with only the two people's light breathing and the crunching sound of their feet on the snow.
A biting cold wind blew by, and Jiang Wangyue shivered with cold.
I don’t know if the mental barrier can block the cold.
Thinking this in her heart, Jiang Wangyue couldn't help but want to give it a try, but before she could release her mental power, a tall figure blocked her way.
Ethan tilted his head slightly and whispered, "Follow me."
"Aren't you afraid of the cold?" Jiang Wangyue couldn't help but ask.
“I’m scared, but I’m used to it.”
Jiang Wangyue shook her head, "Who is used to being afraid of the cold?"
As she spoke, she reached out and pulled Ethan towards her, and the mental barrier instantly enveloped the two of them.
Another cold wind blew the snow on the ground away, but this time the two people did not feel cold.
Jiang Wangyue grabbed Ethan's wrist and said excitedly, "It really works!"
The scorching heat came from Jiang Wangyue's palm, burning Ethan's fingers so much that they trembled slightly.
When the two of them walked near the black market, they unexpectedly saw Qing Yao squatting under a tree tinkering with something.
Jiang Wangyue raised the corners of her lips, slowed down her steps, and slowly walked towards Qingyao.
Qing Yao, who had no idea that someone was approaching from behind, was still immersed in making snowballs.
Until Jiang Wangyue suddenly spoke, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled and his tail exploded instantly.
The frightened Qing Yao turned around and attacked reflexively. Ethan, who had been following Jiang Wangyue, immediately took a step forward and steadily blocked his sharp claws.
Seeing that he really scared the person, Jiang Wangyue quickly clasped his hands together and apologized.
Qing Yao held his pounding chest for a long time before calming down. He looked up at Jiang Wangyue and Ethan.
Facing Qingyao's resentful gaze, Jiang Wangyue smiled and quickly changed the subject.
"Um, what are you doing? Do you need our help?"
Speaking of what he was doing, Qing Yao couldn't help shaking his furry fox ears and whispered, "I want to build a snowman to protect my master from disaster."
Jiang Wangyue looked at the big snowball he was rolling in confusion, "What does making a snowman have to do with warding off disaster?"
Qing Yao squatted down again and continued to make snowballs while explaining to Jiang Wangyue.
It turns out that there is a custom on this planet that if someone is willing to sincerely build a snowman for another person on his birthday, all the disasters of the other person will be warded off by the snowman in the coming year.
After hearing Qing Yao's words, Jiang Wangyue also squatted down and started making snowballs.
Ethan opened his mouth and hesitated to speak. He really wanted to say that this kind of thing was simply a lie.
But after seeing Jiang Wangyue's serious look, Ethan swallowed back the words he hadn't said and squatted silently beside Jiang Wangyue.
Help her make snowballs.
Jiang Wangyue was addicted to making snowballs, and with Ethan's help, she couldn't stop. She would make one for anyone she thought of. When she came to her senses, more than a dozen little snowmen were already lined up under the tree.
The sound of the metal wheels of the wheelchair rolling over the snow could be heard behind the three of them.
Apparently Yue Shu had waited for a long time but Qing Yao didn't come back, so he came out to look for him.
He was stunned when he saw the cute little snowflakes neatly lined up in the snow. Then he remembered something and the corners of his mouth tightened unconsciously.
Qing Yao quickly brushed off the snow on his hands, stood up and walked over quickly.
"Master, why did you come out? It's too cold outside. Let's go back quickly."
Seeing Yue Shu's gaze still on the snowmen, Qing Yao couldn't help but scratch his head embarrassedly. He was afraid that his master would think he was childish.
Jiang Wangyue turned around and greeted Yue Shu, proudly showing him his row of works.
Then she carefully picked up one of the little snowmen and placed it in Yue Shu's hand, smiling and telling him, "This is Lan Xue."
Yue Shu's body tensed up instantly, "I..."
"You are his elder brother, so I leave the blessing to you."
Jiang Wangyue didn't give Yue Shu a chance to refuse, and squatted back down after he finished speaking.
Yue Shu came back to his senses after feeling the cool touch in his palm and let out a sigh of relief.
Then he - wishes his younger brother Lan Xue a smooth life from now on, without any more setbacks, and to grow old together with the one he loves.
It was already early morning when Chen Yanzhou returned to the black market from the planetary governor's residence.
He inadvertently caught a glimpse of the little snowmen under the tree and subconsciously stopped.
In the front of all the snowmen stood two slightly larger snowmen, surrounding the small snowman in the middle like guardians.
He clenched his fingers unconsciously.
Chen Yanzhou stood there for a long time, until the sky was already turning white, before he moved.
The tall male orc knelt on one knee and gently touched the top of the little snowman's head with his cold fingertips.
From now on, let us protect you.
Jiang Wangyue slept very uneasily that night. She first dreamed that she was lost in the snowfield and could not find the end no matter how hard she walked; then she dreamed that she did not enter the snowfield at all, but remained in the black market.
Half asleep and half awake, a familiar voice suddenly rang in my ears: "Jiang Wangyue, if you don't wake up, those people from your family will be here soon."
She suddenly opened her eyes with a start and looked at the closed door blankly.
Was that Dad’s voice just now?
Jiang Wangyue came back to his senses and rubbed his cheeks vigorously. He forced himself to cheer up and answered loudly: "I know!"
Without having time to think about his strange dream, Jiang Wangyue quickly changed his clothes and went out.
Although this planet is located in the northernmost edge of the Federation, it still has a connecting airport, but it is relatively small.
The chill of the early morning was completely blocked outside the mental barrier, and Jiang Wangyue kept looking anxiously into the deep space.
"Could there be some kind of accident?"
Before she finished her words, a dark and cold military warship suddenly streaked across the morning light and appeared before the eyes of several people.
"Here it comes!!" Jiang Wangyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and his voice was filled with unconcealable joy.
Ethan stood behind Jiang Wangyue, taking in her excited expression, and a strange emotion inexplicably arose in his heart.
The battleship was still slowly descending when a dark shadow suddenly flew out from the hatch.
The pitch-black wings spread out instantly, and the figure swooped down towards Jiang Wangyue like an arrow.
