Prequel Chapter 17: The Promise (6064 words)
Wang Zhaojun's beautiful eyes closed slightly, and he frowned and said, "Sister, my father once said that as long as you send me to sacrifice to the gods, you can exchange Yan Ran's peace......" Her voice was a little choked, and there was an inexplicable sense of guilt in her heart.
Xia Er stretched out her hand, patted Wang Zhaojun's shoulder heavily, raised her fist and said: "Don't think like this, you have to believe that although our lives are given to us by our parents, our soul and destiny are always in our own hands, so no one is qualified to make decisions for us!" β
And at this moment, Xia Er felt that her other jade hand was gently pulled, and it was Adam who was sleeping next to her. He didn't open his eyes, but the corners of his mouth raised a noticeable arc.
"So you haven't slept, you've been eavesdropping!" Xia Er said in her heart, and glanced at Adam gently, full of doting.
"Thank you, Sister Xia'er......" After Wang Zhaojun heard Xia'er's words, the whole person seemed to be relieved.
Xia Er smiled slightly, since Wang Zhaojun had frankly told her background and secrets, she naturally would not have reservations.
Then, Xia Er told Wang Zhaojun about her life experience, everything she had experienced before, meeting Yayin, avenging her mother, and her next mission as the blood of the sun, etc., all of which were carefully explained by Xia Er. And Wang Zhaojun also listened to Xia Er's story very attentively, feeling full of curiosity and surprise.
"No wonder Sister Xia Er is so mature and calm, and her strength is so strong, it turns out that she has experienced so much. It's really not easy to go all the way......" Wang Zhaojun couldn't help but admire in his heart. On the other hand, she chose to escape, sacrificing Yanran's people for her so-called freedom......
"Sister Xia'er, let me go to the Tower of the Sun with you! Wang Zhaojun suddenly proposed, his tone full of sincerity.
βWHATοΌοΌβ However, Adam, who was pretending to be asleep, was suddenly unhappy, frowning, and his heart was surprised and unwilling. What are you kidding, isn't that equivalent to an extra big light bulb?
"Sister Zhao'er, ...... you" Xia Er opened her beautiful eyes wide, showing a little surprise and was speechless.
I saw Wang Zhaojun raise his hand and grinned: "The entire Far North is my home, maybe I can help when the time comes, hehe!" β
"Okay, in that case, I understand......" Xia Er agreed with a smile.
"......" and at this time, Adam felt helpless and wanted to cry without tears, but it was okay, he was kind enough to adopt a homeless little girl.
"Thank you, Sister Xia'er......" Wang Zhaojun said gratefully, a faint blue halo flashed in his ice blue eyes, igniting the hope in his heart and the meaning of living.
A few days later......
It's a brand new morning, and the snow is already dancing outside, and the endless hoarfrost is overwhelming. A little bit of dew falls down, and below zero, the water drips into ice......
The three of them walked together, and after a small green dragon with a snake-like appearance was ready to go, they saw a figure in a white cloak walk out of the snow cave one by one.
"Whew!" Adam dozed off lightly and stretched. His face looked much more ruddy than in the previous days, his short gray hair was combed extremely neatly, and the whole person looked radiant, proving that he had basically recovered.
"It's kind of waiting until you recover!" Xia Er, who followed behind Adam, smiled lightly, her tone full of tenderness and concern.
And Adam turned around and raised his arm high, as if he was showing Xia Er his charm and strength as a man: "What are you afraid of, Uncle Ben is strong and powerful, how can he be defeated because of a small fever?" Adam said proudly.
"Poof!" Xia Er was immediately amused by Adam's action.
But just as the two were talking and laughing, suddenly Adam's expression became more and more solemn, and he stroked his temples. Seeing this, Xia Er immediately worried: "It's okay, isn't it ...... again?"
In order not to let the person he loves worry about him, Adam reluctantly squeezed out a smile and comforted: "Heh, this guy is really restless all the time, but it can't threaten Uncle Ben!" β
But the voice in his head was full of anger and unwillingness: "Don't be complacent, if it weren't for the damage caused to me by the demigod bow, your body and strength would be mine now!" Someday, hehehe! Adam didn't think so, and countless cold lights flashed in his blue eyes.
"You're so noisy, shut up Lao Tzu!" Then, he closed his eyes gently, and with a bang, it sounded like an explosion in his head, and finally everything was quiet.
"It's all right......" Adam opened his eyes, and an extremely beautiful smile appeared on his handsome face.
"That's good......" Xia Er's eyes were slightly closed, still a little worried.
"Don't worry, Xia'er, I won't be defeated by that guy......" Adam smiled bitterly. He subconsciously raised a hand and caressed Xia Er's little face as white as jade, and she didn't show any resistance or disgust. The two looked at each other deeply in this way to prove that they cared for each other......
But in Adam's mental place, the voice was already filled with grief and indignation: "This guy actually forcibly drove me away with spiritual power, it turns out that Yain has left so many hands, Yain, I really underestimate you all these years, you are dead, and you want to get in my way!" Darn! β
On the other side, Wang Zhaojun and Xiaoqing, who were still in the snow cave, naturally saw this scene. I only felt that the two people in front of me were shining, and there were traces of pink bubbles that could not be seen by the naked eye, but my side was pitch black, and I was full of the taste of lovelessness......
"How do you feel that we are superfluous......" Xiaoqing and Wang Zhaojun wanted to cry in their hearts without tears.
Finally, Wang Zhaojun pretended to cough, and embarrassedly broke the atmosphere between the two and said, "That, Sister Xia'er, Brother Adam!" It's time for us to go! β
Wang Zhaojun's reminder made the two gradually recover their emotions, but Adam was extremely unhappy, obviously the atmosphere was good just now, but he was broken by this bear child, and almost made him angry: "Who is your brother Adam?!" Then with extremely fierce eyes, he stared at Wang Zhaojun.
"You have a better attitude!" Xia Er didn't have a good airway, and she was even more puzzled in her heart. I don't know why, this Adam's attitude towards Wang Zhaojun is so bad, he actually eats a girl's vinegar......
And Adam looked at Xia Er and seemed to be a little angry, so he didn't want to continue to embarrass her: "Okay, then let's go, little sister Zhao'er......"
His tone can be described as one hundred and eighty degrees in an instant, which made Wang Zhaojun even more speechless, and made Xia Er on the side stunned for a while......
"This guy ......," Xia Er suddenly cried and laughed.
"Then let's go, we have to hurry!" Adam puffed out his face and let go of the hand that was on Charles's face. The next moment, his whole body flashed with silver light, and he disappeared from his original position, and the figure was gone......
"Hey! Wait for me, Adam! Xia Er also followed closely.
Then, Wang Zhaojun took Xiaoqing, took a small step, and quickly followed.
β¦β¦
After several hours, through patches of snow and forests, it was late afternoon. Everyone finally decided to rest in place on the empty snow under their feet......
Just as Adam wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, and Xia Er also took a deep breath and entered a resting state......
"Be careful!" The alert Xia Er suddenly shouted loudly.
As soon as the words fell, she subconsciously protected Wang Zhaojun who was behind her, and Adam, who was quick to react, also directly raised his hands and quickly condensed a large amount of demonic power. What's more, he already had a tacit understanding with Xia Er, and he didn't even have time to think. With a few swishs, a large number of arrows flew towards them!
"Wow, why are so many arrows flying over?" Xiao Qing, who was floating in mid-air, was shocked.
"Shield of the Stars!" A protective shield imprinted with the Starlight Mark was summoned by Adam in an instant, and it was no surprise that it was extremely easy to block ordinary arrows of negligible power. The corners of Adam's mouth rose slightly, and Toshiro's face was filled with a wicked smile, these crossbow arrows were incomparable to those blazing sun arrows from Houser's previous time!
"Who are you?!" Xia Er asked loudly.
The next moment, the group of figures who had attacked them came from a forest one by one. There were probably thirty to forty people or more, all dressed in black, and the black clothes seemed to be engraved with a sign like a wolf's head. Each person wrapped his face, dressed in an extremely uniform outfit, armed with a bow or sword, and was clearly prepared.
"It's you?!" Wang Zhaojun's eyes widened, and his face was full of surprise.
"Sister Zhao'er, do you know this group of people?" Xia Er was shocked, and she immediately guessed in her heart that these people were from the Wild Goose Tent tribe, and they were coming to arrest Wang Zhaojun back! But there is one thing that Xia Er can't understand is why they were able to find Wang Zhaojun so easily, obviously she has been staying with her for the past few days......
"Princess Zhaojun, we finally let us find you, and please go back with us, Your Royal Highness Princess!" The goose tent soldier who took the lead shouted.
And just when Wang Zhaojun was a little overwhelmed and wanted to take a step forward. Xia Er stretched out her hand, stopped Wang Zhaojun deadly, and shouted for her: "What if Sister Zhao'er says no today?" β
"Who do you think you are!?"
"You don't know that the princess is involved in the fate of our entire Yan Ran!" A certain soldier of the goose tent said angrily.
And Adam smiled coldly, and sneered at this group of self-defeating wild goose tent soldiers: "It's really ridiculous, you yourself are incapable of defending your own people and country, so you choose to sacrifice the life of a young girl?" Ridiculous! β
The wild goose tent soldier broke out in a cold sweat and sighed secretly, as if he had been said to the heart. Since they can't say it, they can only fight directly, and today they must take Wang Zhaojun away!
"Kill me, and I'm bound to take back the princess!" The leading goose tent soldier raised his long sword and ordered.
"Whoever stands in my way in everything is blocking the entire Yan Ran, and he will die!" He roared with a bit of majesty.
Adam, on the other hand, kept smiling. Take the lead and face these rushing soldiers head-on!
"Sister Zhao'er, stay here and don't ......move," Xia Er smiled and comforted Wang Zhaojun.
"Xia'er...... Sister ......" Wang Zhaojun didn't even blink his eyes, and fell into a contradiction in his heart......
And Xia Er smiled faintly, watching Adam's performance like this, knowing that she didn't have to make a move......
As soon as the scabbard at his waist came out, Adam clenched the silver blade in his hand, and the soldiers rushed towards him one by one, rushing in different directions.
But how do you want to deal with Adam? It's just a dream! Adam's tricks and demonic power are starlight, but in fact, he is a dazzling star of his own! In terms of speed and reflexes, he is definitely one of the best, unmatched! What's more, now he has inherited all the strength of the family. In this short moment, Adam gently turned the blade of his sword, and his body lit up with little and less light of the stars, and the golden and silver halos were filled, and every movement was with ease, and his steps were like ghosts.
"I haven't moved my muscles and bones for a few days, and I'm afraid I'm a little stiff!" Adam snickered inwardly.
"Wow, ahhhh After a large number of soldiers let out a scream, their clothes had been torn out one after another, and blood was splattered everywhere. But no one died, and it seems that Adam did not kill them......
The leading goose tent soldier groaned in pain and touched his chest in pain. In the next moment, Xia Er came to him at some point. She kicked him directly and stomped on his abdomen fiercely, causing the soldier to scream like a pig: "Ahhhh β
"Who the hell is dying?!" Xia Er looked at the soldier's extremely painful expression and the bursts of screams, and felt a joy in her heart......
But at this moment, Wang Zhaojun, who was behind the two, suddenly dissuaded loudly: "Sister Xia'er, Brother Adam, stop it!" β
"Sister Zhao'er, what's the matter...... What's wrong? Wang Zhaojun's dissuasion suddenly made Xia Er and Adam a little overwhelmed, and Xia Er also subconsciously put down, and the thin leg that had stepped on the soldier's abdomen before......
I saw Wang Zhaojun quickly running in front of these soldiers, opening his arms, protecting these soldiers and saying, "They are also Yanran's subjects, please don't hurt them......"
"Thank you Princess Zhaojun ......" The goose tent soldier who took the lead couldn't help but smile bitterly, and a little guilt flashed in his heart. Such a beautiful and kind princess, they want to push her to a dead end, but there is really no other way......
Wang Zhaojun turned around slowly, his eyes were cold, and he stared at the group of goose tent soldiers with a bit of majesty, and began to ask: "Father asked you to come, how did you find my ......?"
"Princess Hui, your blood is flowing with our Yan Ran's most noble winter blood! So wherever you go, Princess, we can find your ......," replied the Goose Tent soldier truthfully.
After hearing this, Wang Zhaojun suddenly laughed and said, "Honorable? Hehehe, I'm afraid I wish I died sooner, right? β
"Princess......" The faces of the soldiers in the wild goose tent suddenly changed, everyone was extremely sad and full of guilt, compared to the pain on their bodies, their hearts were the most painful at this moment......
However, after Wang Zhaojun sneered for a while, she finally took a deep breath and continued to ask, "How is Yan Ran?" β
"Princess, Yan Ran has ...... right now" The goose tent soldier who took the lead said this, and suddenly paused, and the whole person trembled, not daring to continue......
"Say!" Wang Zhaojun's eyes widened and he roared like crazy.
"Hui Princess, Yan Ran has been suffering from drought in the past few months, and the people have not harvested grain for too long, and the death toll has reached thousands of ......," the wild goose tent soldier reluctantly told the truth.
"Whew! What?! When Wang Zhaojun heard this, his face changed......
"If we don't sacrifice the sacrifice to our great Yan Ran god, I guess that Yan Ran's time is short......" The Wild Goose Tent soldier closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look at it.
"This ......," Wang Zhaojun was silent.
"Zhao'er, don't listen to them! They must be lying! Xia Er advised.
"I know that the princess cares about us Yanran, and for the sake of the entire Yanran people and the country over the years, please go back with us......, princess," the wild goose tent soldier continued.
"Just like Xia Er said, these people's words are not credible, you can't go with them, if you follow them, you will die!" Adam did not forget to be advised.
The silence lasted for a while, and the air around it seemed to be quiet, except for the sound of snow and ice falling, and the slightest whistling of wind......
Finally, Wang Zhaojun, who had been struggling for a while, shook his head. She gradually raised her head, a beautiful tear fell from her eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Sister Xia'er, Brother Adam, these are my Yan Ran's people, Yan Ran needs me!" Zhao'er didn't have to choose ......"
"What?!" Xia Er, Adam, and Xiaoqing were shocked.
"Thank you, Sister Xia'er, although these days are short, they are the happiest time in Zhao'er's life, if it weren't for you, sister, Zhao'er might have been a corpse a long time ago......" Wang Zhaojun cried, tear after tear, unable to suppress......
"Sister Zhao'er, why are you so stupid? I don't want you to leave! Xia Er disagreed.
"yes, I don't agree with that either! You can't go with them! "Even if Adam doesn't like Wang Zhaojun anymore and disturbs the two-person world between him and Xia'er. But even so, he will never let Wang Zhaojun go to death in vain and follow the so-called fate!
"I'm sorry, Sister Xia'er......" Wang Zhaojun's tears kept falling, she raised her jade hand, and conjured an ice-blue staff out of thin air. The staff was more than two meters long, and the tip was inlaid with a sparkling blue ice crystal. The soldiers behind her could instantly feel a strong chill, covering all around, deep into the bone marrow!
"Winter has arrived...... Wang Zhaojun silently recited these four words with tears.
As soon as the words fell, in the positions of Adam, Xia Er and Xiaoqing, a sudden thunderous snowstorm suddenly fell, blocking their way!
This is exactly the power of Wang Zhaojun's Demon Dao, the bloodline of the Winter Demon Dao! On the day of the avalanche, Wang Zhaojun found that she seemed to be able to control the ice and snow around her, and now it was the first time she used her powerful power, this is Princess Winter!
"What?!" Xia Er said in horror, in the face of this sudden blizzard, she didn't have time to dodge at all, let alone expect Wang Zhaojun to have such power!
"Wow, why is there a sudden snowstorm?" Xiaoqing shouted in panic.
With a flash of blue light, Xia Er's back had formed a pair of flame wings, wanting to get out of this layer of blizzard as soon as possible, but a large pile of frost blocked her way, extremely cold, and blocked her vision. Even if her blue flame could burn and melt this layer of heavy frost, it would never be enough time to bring Wang Zhaojun back......
"All this frost?" Adam was taken aback, and he raised his hand to release the Star Shield again, preventing the frost from falling on him, Xia'er, and Xiaoqing.
However, after the blizzard, Wang Zhaojun silently recited a sentence in his mouth: "Farewell, Sister Xia'er, Brother Adam!" If you can, when you complete your mission, Zhao'er will be waiting for you in that winter sea, and we have agreed......"
"Zhao! Child! Younger sister! Younger sister!!! Xia Er shouted heartbreakingly.
β¦β¦
When they heard the sound of the army leaving, it didn't take long for the frost to stop falling, and the blizzard disappeared completely, causing no harm to anyone......
However, Xia Er knelt on the cold snow, couldn't hold back any longer, and cried: "Woo woo! She punched hard and smashed it on the snow, hating herself for not stopping Wang Zhaojun in the first place......
On the other side, Adam's eyes looked at Xiaoqing and gave enough hints. And Xiaoqing naturally immediately understood what he meant, sighed helplessly, and said in his heart: "This little girl is really stupid, why do you have to take all the responsibility on your shoulders...... But since this is Wang Zhaojun's decision, it has no right to interfere.
Then, Xiao Qing didn't say a word, and after waiting for a crack to appear in mid-air, it immediately burrowed back into its own space.
β¦β¦
I saw Adam leaning down and gently wiping Xia'er's tears with his fingertips, his eyes were always fixed on her, both distressed and pitiful.
"Summer ...... ...... son," Adam said softly, calling her name.
When the crying Xia Er heard this, she slowly raised her head and looked at Adam, as if his magnetic voice had magical power, healing her wounded heart.
Adam sighed lightly and pressed his forehead against Xia'er's smooth forehead, spilling his breath on her delicate face. Xia Er tried to suppress her crying, but the tears still didn't stop, and her heart tingled like a heart.
Immediately after, Xia Er felt as if her red lips were blocked! Adam was already hugging her delicate body and kissing her deeply on the lips. And Xia Er, who was full of grief, did not push him away, nor did she make any gesture of refusal, but on the contrary, more and more tears fell from her eyes.
Through this kiss, she vented her negative emotions, and completely made her fall into Adam's love, as if she had identified this man in her life, and she was really in love with him......
ββββ
The first kiss is finally here! Surprised, surprised! Please accept this candy and dog food!
