Chapter 554: Baby is always right (Part 2)
Jiujiu seems... still doesn't know who Jiang Chunian is.
He didn't even know that she was remembering something from ten years ago.
How should she explain it to him?
Ruan Qi froze in her tracks as she was about to take a step forward. She struggled for two seconds before slowly turning her head with great difficulty.
Xi Jiu was standing behind her, looking at her with dark eyes.
Ruan Qi felt uneasy when being looked at, and called out dryly, "...Jiujiu."
Xi Jiu said "hmm" without any emotion.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Ruan Qi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I, I want to go find Sister Lan. They are in danger now."
Upon hearing this, Xi Jiu looked at her with a gloomy expression and asked, "What danger?"
"..." Ruan Qi was stunned by the question.
How should she answer?
It's impossible that she had already remembered what happened ten years ago, and had been trying to catch Jiang Chunian for the past few months, and finally caught him today?
If Jiujiu knew that she had kept it a secret from him for so long and had secretly done so many dangerous things on her own, how angry would he be?
Ruan Qi was a little at a loss.
She looked at Xi Jiu eagerly, her fingers nervously scratching at the submachine gun, like a little baby standing in the corner for punishment because he had done something wrong.
Looking at this little girl, Xi Jiu could no longer hold back the darkness in his heart and softened.
He sighed helplessly, raised his hand and scratched her nose. The force seemed very strong, but it was actually as light as a feather, for fear of hurting her.
"Baby," he lifted her chin with his fingertips, lowered his eyes to look into her eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything you can't tell me?"
“…” The little girl looked at a loss, not knowing what to say.
Xi Jiu pinched her face and said, "Baby, you hid it from me because you think I'm incapable of protecting you?"
"No, no!" Ruan Qi quickly shook his head, his tone a little anxious, "Jiujiu, of course you can protect me. I just, just..."
"Just what?" Xi Jiu didn't give her time to breathe and kept asking.
Ruan Qi opened her mouth, her eyes slightly red. "I, I don't want you to worry. I know my mental state is very bad, and you and Master have been trying to find a way to cure me. I don't want to make you worry more. I... I want to deal with that person myself."
This was the first time Ruan Qi took the initiative to talk about her psychological problems.
She had lost control of her emotions many times before and fainted several times. Every time she woke up, Xi Jiu and Nie Beilou would deceive her with white lies and hide things from her.
Ruan Qi knew that everyone was doing this for her own good and didn't want her to be involved in what happened ten years ago. So, she pretended to know nothing and didn't say anything even when asked.
But now, she has to catch Jiang Chunian, and some things can no longer be hidden.
She thought Xi Jiu only knew what happened ten years ago, but didn't know who Jiang Chunian was, so her explanation was a bit ambiguous. But she didn't know that Xi Jiu had already learned all the truth about ten years ago from Nie Beilou.
After hearing what Ruan Qi said, he guessed who the 'that person' she was talking about was.
The temperature in Xi Jiu's eyes instantly turned cold.
Ruan Qi noticed the change in his expression and thought he was angry with her. She couldn't help but panic. "Jiujiu!" She hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, her eyes red. "I was wrong, don't be angry. I, I..."
The little girl was so anxious that she couldn't speak.
A big warm hand suddenly fell on her head.
A light sigh came from above her head, "Baby, how could I be angry with you."
Xi Jiu didn't know how many times he had felt helpless today. He gently rubbed the little girl's head, and his big hand moved from the top of her head to the back of her head. With a strong pull, he pressed the little girl into his arms.
Ruan Qi bumped into the man's hard yet somewhat elastic chest.
"Jiujiu..."
Ruan Qi had just said two words when she was interrupted by Xi Jiu's voice.
"Baby," the man's deep, pleasant voice spread from his chest, mixed with his strong heartbeat, "I will never be angry with you. You don't have to apologize to me for anything you do. Baby, you are always right to me."
Xi Jiu's voice was like a deep bass, so beautiful it made one's ears numb. Ruan Qi leaned against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, her eyes gradually becoming moist.
"Jiujiu, I..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Jiu's intercom suddenly rang again.
"Boss! Calling Boss! Something's wrong here! Requesting support! Requesting support!"
Ruan Qi's feeling of being touched and tender disappeared in an instant.
She grabbed the intercom nervously, "What happened? What happened to Sister Lan and the others?!"
"That man is a little strange!" the Eagle member on the other end of the intercom answered. "His eyes are very red, and he doesn't look right mentally, as if he's possessed by a demon. That lady named Mo Lan won't let us get close to him, saying he's some kind of fire demon or something."
Ruan Qi immediately thought of being possessed.
Could it be that this bastard has been driven to desperation and gone crazy?
Ancient warriors who have gone astray are extremely terrifying. The higher the rank of the ancient warrior, the more difficult it is to deal with them once they have gone astray.
For example, Xi Jiu's father, Xi Xiaoran. Xi Xiaoran was very powerful back then. After he became possessed by the devil, he turned into a nuclear weapon. Even Xi Jiu and Old Man Xi did not dare to deal with him easily.
Jiang Chuan had practiced sorcery before, so if he went astray, he would be even worse than Xi Xiaoran.
Ruan Qi didn't dare to delay any longer, so he let go of Xi Jiu's arms, turned around and ran away with his submachine gun.
Xi Jiu immediately called Gu Feiyang, Bo Ye and others, and followed the little girl.
The group rushed to the rapids at the foot of the hill.
It was already late at night, and dark clouds covered the moonlight, leaving only a few dim stars that barely cast a little light.
The fast-flowing river gurgled in the dark night, and the occasional overflowing water wet Xixi's clothes as she lay by the river.
Several members of the Eagle Tribe held guns and tightly protected the unconscious Xixi.
Not far in front of them, Mo Lan and He Ma looked alert and wary at a man.
Ruan Qi followed their line of sight and looked over—
It’s Jiang Chunian indeed!
Jiang Chunian's condition looked very bad. His eyes were bloodshot, his lips were purple, and there was a faint black aura between his eyebrows.
When Ruan Qi saw him before, although he was thin, he still maintained an elegant and gentle face.
But now Jiang Chunian's eyes are dazed and his behavior is a little crazy, as if he has lost his mind.
Become obsessed!
Jiang Chunian has really gone crazy.
Ruan Qi cautiously walked to the injured Mo Lan and shielded her behind her, "Sister Lan, what happened?"
Mo Lan: "After everyone was scattered by the grenade, He Ma Xixi and I were forced to hide here, and we happened to run into Jiang Chunian trying to escape. We confronted him for a long time, and Xixi was injured. But he seemed to have practiced some kind of evil magic, and suddenly went crazy."
As soon as Mo Lan finished speaking, Jiang Chunian, who was standing not far away, suddenly yelled.
His bloodshot eyes fell on Ruan Qi, and he pounced on her like a wolf seeing a sheep.
