Chapter 213 I'll Just Hold You
Shang Lu's cute eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and after a while he said, "Mother, why don't we change a father?"
Jiang Yao's heart skipped a beat: "Who told you that?"
"It's Wang Erniang from the village. Last time, she said to Uncle Wang Er that if he didn't listen to her, she would find a new father for Wang Diandian."
Jiang Yao: "."
"Mother, let's change one too."
Children really do speak without restraint. Jiang Yao couldn't help laughing: "Silly child, your parents are irreplaceable. Wang Erniang was just joking."
Shanglu is everything to her. She does her best to make him happy. No matter what the adult world is like, it can never affect the innocence of a child.
This is Jiang Yao’s bottom line.
Yue Jian could no longer walk and her clothes were soaked.
"No, I can't take it anymore."
Jiang Yao looked around and found a familiar place. She squatted in front of Yue Jian and said, "Come up."
Yue Jian lay on her back without hesitation.
"Xiao Baibao, can you walk by yourself?"
Shang Lu patted his chest and said, "Mom, the baby is fine."
Jiang Yao carried Yuejian on his back, she felt light and not much heavier than Shanglu.
Yue Jian lazily found a comfortable position on her back and fell asleep. Before falling asleep, she murmured, "Jiang Yao, remember to wake me up if you encounter any danger."
Jiang Yao smiled helplessly. Yuejian was like a child, but very loyal. She had been taking care of a child for all these years, and the child was able to survive until now because of Yuejian's protection.
Although she would yell at her to terminate the contract if she got angry, Yue Jian would regret it if she got serious.
"Mother, Yuejian is a fire-type beast. She must be feeling uncomfortable here." Shang Lu looked at Yuejian with heartache.
"Just make it through tonight."
The high tide only lasts for one night and everything will be fine after it passes.
Jiang Yao brought Shanglu to a small cave at the foot of the hill as if he knew the place well.
The space inside was not big, but it was enough for the three of them to hide.
"Xiao Baibao, there's some dry firewood in there, go get it out."
Shanglu ran over happily as if he had discovered something new: "Mom, you are so amazing! You even know there is dry firewood inside."
"Because I put it there."
"But mother, why did you put dry firewood here?"
Jiang Yao opened his mouth but swallowed the words that were about to come out: "Mother thought that you might have a chance to pass by here in the future, so she put some in."
"Mother is really amazing, she can predict the future."
Jiang Yao laughed. She was not a prophet. She had been here many times. When she had no spiritual power, she could only come here to plunder. She would always encounter unexpected situations, so she left many ways out for herself.
After the fire started, the noise outside became louder, like the roar of a wild beast.
Yue Jianyouyou woke up and stared outside with an unhappy look on her face: "I hate the humidity the most."
Jiang Yao stood up and walked to the cave entrance. He concentrated for a while, then raised his hand and spiritual power flew out from his fingertips. The wind blowing through the cave entrance mixed with moisture from the ground and froze into a block of ice at the cave entrance, which also blocked the cave entrance tightly.
Yue Jian shivered: "It's so cold."
Shang Lu moved his little butt and moved closer to hug her arms: "Yue Jian, I'll just hold you."
Yue Jian held him in her arms and said lazily, "Go to sleep. Everything will be fine when you wake up."
Jiang Yao leaned against the entrance of the cave. The ice burst and thickened. He looked back at the two people sleeping in each other's arms, smiling with tenderness in his eyes.
"Baiyin, stop chasing me."
The ethereal voice carried majesty, resounding throughout the swamp.
Baiyin looked at the fleeing monster unwillingly, but still returned obediently.
"Why is the God of War trying to stop me? I'm going up. That monster will definitely not survive tonight."
The man's voice suddenly became stern: "You fight with all your might, but the creatures around the swamp will suffer."
Bai Yin stamped his feet in anger: "This monster had this idea when it fled here."
When the tide rises once a year in the swamp, it becomes quite chaotic and provides a place for the monsters to live.
Suqianji looked up at the dark sky and said, "The high tide this year is even more violent."
Bai Yin raised his eyebrows nonchalantly: "God of War, you're worrying too much. No one here is a pushover. They don't care about life or death, so you don't have to worry about it either."
Su Qianji just glanced at her and turned to walk out.
"God of War, wait for me."
Su Qianji looked at her sideways, pondered for a moment, and asked, "When will you be promoted?"
Bai Yin's smile froze, and he stammered, "Don't worry, don't worry."
"I promised your brother that I would promote you within a hundred years."
"Oh, please don't involve me in your affairs. I don't want to be a god for the time being. It's fine like this."
"Being a god, isn't it good?"
"What's good about him?" Baiyin complained. "He's like the God of War, like my brother. All his emotions are dulled. He's neither sad nor happy. Even his anger is downplayed. He's not cheerful at all."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the man beside her, an ordinary yet unrecognizable face, and asked, "The God of War was born a god, free from the constraints of emotions and desires. I wonder if you have ever experienced the feeling of wanting something but not getting it?"
“I seek but cannot obtain.”
The man's voice sounded a little confused.
Bai Yin laughed at himself: "Look what I asked. Even the God of War doesn't have any needs, so how can there be anything I can't get?"
Su Qianji lowered his eyes, a look of confusion flashed in his deep eyes, and his hand habitually placed on his heart.
Six years have passed, and he has cultivated another inner elixir, but he always feels that the one he lost is the most important. Whenever he thinks of it, he feels empty in his heart.
"God of War, look." Bai Yin pointed at a spot. "Aren't those people from the Black Yao Clan? Why haven't they left yet when the tide is rising?"
Su Qianji raised his eyelids and looked at him with an indifferent look: "Don't mind your own business."
"This is not a trivial matter. The Black Yao Clan is hated by everyone."
Bai Yin's eyes rolled and he flew to the group of Heiyao people.
"Look, look, look, what good stuff have I come across."
Looking at the person coming, hope flashed in Shi Fang's eyes.
"General Baiyin, long time no see."
Bai Yin frowned: "Have I seen you before?"
"You forgot, on your 1000th birthday two years ago, I sent you a gift on behalf of the Black Yao Clan. It was the Xiaoyao Pill."
This reminder made Bai Yin remember: "Oh, that Xiaoyao Pill was given by you."
"I wonder if General Baiyin could help me."
Su Qianji also walked over behind Baiyin, glanced around indifferently, and said in a cold voice: "It's time to return to the Holy City."
"God of War, these people of the Black Yao tribe are begging me to save them."
"God of War, General Baiyin, please lend a hand. We were ambushed by the enemy today and can't escape. The tide has risen. We finally met you. Please be kind and save us."
Bai Yin waved her hand. "Let's not talk about anything else for now. I just want to know who froze you. It wasn't a formation, actually. How strange."
Shi Fang had no time to satisfy Bai Yin's curiosity, but they had no choice. The tide had risen and could flood over them at any time.
