Chapter 290 I think I found the bad guy’s lair
It is already very late at night.
Occasionally, the subtle sound of armor rubbing against each other could be heard from afar, making the night even more solemn.
In the new house.
The pair of dragon and phoenix wedding candles were still burning tirelessly, the candlelight dancing, illuminating the room with the red wedding colors, making them warm and bright.
On the bed, Xiao Yu was leaning quietly in a dark shirt, with a small person in his arms.
Ajiu had changed out of the heavy phoenix crown and bridal robe, and was wearing a soft nightgown, and she snuggled into his arms.
She buried her little face deep in his chest, not moving.
Time passes by minute by minute.
No one spoke.
It was unknown how long it took before Xiao Yu lowered his head and gently combed her somewhat messy long hair with his fingers.
"Are you asleep?"
The little person in my arms moved slightly.
A furry little head rubbed against his chest and shook its head.
"No."
Her voice was muffled and had a strong nasal quality.
"I can't sleep."
Xiao Yu paused and subconsciously tightened his arms around her.
"Still scared."
"Um."
Jiu nodded honestly, and then quickly added another sentence.
"Not afraid either."
"that is……"
She organized her words, as if she didn't know how to describe her current mood.
"That's right, as soon as I close my eyes I can see the scary things that bad guy made."
"besides……"
She stopped mid-sentence.
Xiao Yu knew what she wanted to say.
Also, she had a vision of him dying.
That kind of fear was more intense for her than seeing any monster or demon.
"It's all over."
Xiao Yu gently pressed her head back to his chest so that she could clearly hear his heartbeat.
"Those are all fake."
"I'm here."
"Um."
Ajiu responded and clenched her little hands that were holding his collar a little tighter.
"I know it's fake."
"But I'm still angry."
There was a hint of grievance in her voice.
"Why should he?"
"Why are you interrupting our wedding?"
"It's all his fault."
As she spoke, she stretched out her fist and hit him on the chest, venting her dissatisfaction.
Xiao Yu let her vent, but a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Yes, it's all his fault."
He followed her words.
"Once you catch him, you can do whatever you want with him."
"You can beat him up any way you want."
"Really."
Ajiu raised her head slightly from his arms, her beautiful purple eyes flickering in the candlelight.
"Can I whip him with a little whip?"
"Can you burn him with a candle?"
"Can you not give him food and let him starve to death?"
She listed a long list of the most vicious punishments she could think of.
Xiao Yu looked at her cute angry look and couldn't help but chuckle.
"able."
"Both."
"As long as you're happy."
After receiving a positive answer, Jiu lay back down contentedly.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Yu was more concerned about her condition.
Such a powerful force suddenly erupted in her body, and he was very worried whether it would cause any damage to her body.
"Um……"
Jiu wrinkled his nose and felt it carefully.
"I'm not feeling ill."
"that is……"
"A little tired."
"Also, I feel a little dizzy, and my eyes are sore, like... like I read hundreds of storybooks in one go."
She gave a very vivid analogy.
"Then close your eyes and have a good rest."
Xiao Yu rubbed her head and spoke in a softer voice.
"Don't think about anything, just get some sleep."
"oh."
Ajiu responded obediently and closed her eyes obediently.
She tried hard to empty her mind and fall asleep quickly.
However, the opposite happened.
Countless broken and disorganized images, like a flood that broke through a dam, flooded into her mind frantically.
"Um……"
Ajiu let out a muffled groan.
She began to burrow her little face into Xiao Yu's arms, trying to avoid the things that were running rampant in her mind.
Xiao Yu immediately noticed that something was wrong with her.
"What's wrong."
He tightened his hold on her.
"It was a nightmare."
"no……"
There was a hint of pain and confusion in Ajiu's voice.
"I...I saw a lot of things."
“Lots and lots of strange things.”
"Don't be afraid." Xiao Yu slowly guided her.
"Tell me slowly what you saw."
"I……"
Ajiu closed his eyes and frowned tightly.
"I saw... so many stars."
"They... they're not the kind we see at night."
"They're bigger, brighter, and... they move."
Her voice was intermittent as she tried to describe a bizarre dream that she herself could not understand.
"The stars...are moving."
"Um."
"They seem... seem to be lining up."
"They're arranged in some really weird patterns."
"I've never seen those patterns before."
The vast sea of stars.
The stars are arranged in a strange way.
These two words immediately appeared in Xiao Yu's mind.
He didn't interrupt her and listened quietly.
"Then what."
"Then……"
Jiu's breathing began to become a little rapid.
"Then, I saw... a... a really big stone platform."
"It's floating among those stars."
"It's so old, and there are so many patterns carved on it that I can't understand."
"That stand...it's glowing..."
An ancient stone platform suspended in the void.
Xiao Yu's eyes became increasingly profound.
"Ajiu."
He patted her back gently.
"Don't be anxious, and don't be afraid."
"Try to look more closely."
"Look at the pattern of the stars, and the pattern on that stone platform."
"Write them all down."
"I...I can't remember..."
There was a hint of crying in Ajiu's voice.
"There are so many of them, so messy, they keep spinning in my head and make my head hurt..."
She felt like her head was a ball that was about to burst and could explode at any time.
"Then don't remember it."
Xiao Yu immediately changed his strategy.
"If we don't want to see it anymore, we'll just drive it away."
"forget it."
"Um……"
Ajiu tried hard to do as Xiao Yu said and drive those images out of his mind.
However, those images seemed to have taken root, lingering in her consciousness. Not only did they not disappear, but they became clearer and clearer.
A feeling of blood connection suddenly surged up from the depths of her soul.
It's like...
It was as if she had been there before.
The vast sea of stars is the background.
The strange stars are signposts.
And that ancient stone platform is... the end point.
