Chapter 464 What a great prince!
He, he has already formed a partnership with Ping Mei. Even if the two of them have broken their contract, how can he possess such a young, beautiful and innocent girl like Xia Ming without the mark of the beast?
Even if he selfishly became her male, if anything happened to her, he wouldn't even be able to sense where she was...
Yi Wan only felt a bitter taste that was hard to swallow spreading in his heart.
Xia Ming, however, knew nothing about it and even pulled his cheek with a smile: "It must be Brother Yi Wan who is worried about me. He is so anxious that he looks haggard and even has stubble. But Brother Yi Wan is handsome no matter what. This makes me feel more stylish and safer!"
At this moment, she also noticed the animal pattern on Yi Wan's neck. She was slightly stunned and reached out to touch it, but Yi Wan held her hand.
"Don't touch it, it will hurt your hand," Yi Wan looked at her greedily. He was too eager for her and wanted to indulge himself a little, at least to ease his longing for her.
Although he had lost the qualification to be her beast husband, he was now free from female protection, so he could be considered to be protecting her openly. Moreover, he was the high priest of Golden Lion City and could provide her with a good life.
Yi Wan has gold-related abilities, and the beast pattern on his neck will turn into a sharp blade when touched, which can easily scratch his hands.
"Brother Yi Wan, am I seeing things? Is this a green animal pattern? Are you a level ten warrior now?" Xia Ming was a little dazed, always feeling that something was wrong.
Yi Wan nodded, not daring to say anything more. He just held her and walked down steadily. "Ming'er, are you hungry? I'll hunt a long-tusked piglet for you later, and we'll go down the mountain to eat."
Xia Ming's attention was diverted. She nodded excitedly, "Okay, Brother Yi Wan is a level 10 warrior, it should be easy for him to break into the herd of long-tusked pigs and catch one or two piglets. But," she looked back timidly, met Zhi Le's eyes, smiled kindly, and leaned close to Yi Wan's ear to ask, "Can we steal some? Will those two flying beasts complain?"
"Father, please take my aunt to camp at the foot of the mountain first. I will take the kids to catch two long-tusked piglets!" Zhi Le knew that Yi Wan's full attention was on Xia Ming now. He wished he could eat her alive, so he had no time to think about hunting.
Xuezhu also smiled and sat on her father's shoulder, swinging her feet: "I'll pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables for my aunt and grandma, and stuff them into the piglets' stomachs. They'll be delicious..."
"Brush a layer of honey on the outside," Xuebao couldn't help drooling, as if he had already smelled the fragrance.
Xia Ming's stomach rumbled in response. Yi Wan smiled and agreed, continuing to carry her downstairs, "Ming'er, eat some dried meat and drink some water to fill your stomach later."
"Yeah," Xia Ming was used to having everything arranged for him.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, they found their camp, lit a bonfire, and boiled a ceramic pot of water. Yi Wan put brown sugar in it, which he bought at the market with crystals before he came.
Sipping the warm brown sugar water and chewing the dried meat that was handed to her, all of Xia Ming's fears disappeared. She happily swung her feet and squinted her eyes. However, her hungry stomach felt better now. Her brain finally started to work. Thinking of the conversation just now, she asked stupidly, "Brother Yi Wan, what did Brother Zhili call me just now? Aunt? He, he also called me Aunt Grandma?"
Yi Wan pursed his lips and pulled the corners of his lips, "Ming'er, that wasn't Zhili just now, it was Zhili's son Zhile. Don't they look alike?"
"Yes, they look alike. I was wondering when Brother Zhili became so cold. It turns out to be his son...son? A son this old? He looks even older than me!!" Xia Ming was at a loss for words.
Yi Wan took a deep breath, held her shoulders and explained slowly: "Ming'er, actually, actually now is the twentieth year since your accident. I met a very powerful person with special abilities, who opened up time and space and brought you here when you were about to be in danger. Do you understand what I am saying?"
Xia Ming exclaimed, "Wow!" He was young and playful, so he had no idea what this meant. He just felt curious and excited. "Doesn't that mean I have to call you Grandpa Yi Wan?"
Yi Wan's already broken heart was hit hard again. Yes, there was a twenty-year age difference between them!
Seeing his slightly dark face, Xia Ming laughed out loud and poked his shoulder: "Okay, Brother Yi Wan, I don't mind your age. I remember my mother said that males have a long lifespan, and the more experienced males are, the more they will love females. I am blessed..."
At this point, Xia Ming asked cautiously: "Brother Yi Wan, then, have you, have you ever been paired with other females in the past twenty years?"
Yi Wan clenched his fists, looked at the flickering bonfire in front of him, and hummed with a cold expression, without further explanation.
Xia Ming looked at him stupidly, tears welling up in her eyes. She tried hard not to let them fall. She tilted her head and said reluctantly, "That's good. Brother Yi Wan's little female must be pretty and sensible. Unlike me, who always makes you worry."
You, you summoned me here, will she, sister-in-law, be angry? Actually, there is no need..."
Now she finally understood that since Yi Wan summoned her, it meant that she would be a dead person in Yi Wan's twenty years.
Why should a dead person continue to live? What did he pay for changing his fate? Moreover, she was picked up by Yi Wan and raised by his clan. She knew from a young age that she would be his partner. Now...
She suddenly felt that it would be better if she died, at least she wouldn't feel the pain in her heart that made her almost unable to breathe.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
But she was raised by Yi Wan and Zhili and had never suffered any grievances since childhood. She endured it for a while, but saw that Yi Wan really ignored her.
Xia Ming couldn't help but hugged her knees and sobbed silently. Gradually, her crying became louder and louder, like a sad child crying.
Yi Wan's heart ached, but he couldn't help it and hugged her tightly in his arms.
Xia Ming hit him hard, "Yi Wan, you bastard! You said you would marry me and be my beast husband. If you had been waiting for me, you could have brought me back. But you're already in a relationship, why did you bring me here? To watch you being affectionate with other females? You might as well bite me to death..."
Why are you holding me? Aren't you afraid that your female family will be jealous? Won't your chest feel uncomfortable because you betrayed her? Let me go..."
Yi Wan let her make a fuss. The strong sour taste and the hypocritical crying made him feel at ease.
"No, I have already removed the beast mark from her. I am a free man now, and no one will care who I protect. Ming'er, I, I will always be your brother!" He forced himself to let go. As long as Xia Ming was alive, as long as he saw her, he felt that he had a direction to work towards for the rest of his life.
Xia Ming's heart was in a state of ups and downs, sometimes up and sometimes down! She felt that her heart, which had just died, was slowly coming back to life, and then she was beaten half to death by this brother! (End of this chapter)
