Volume 1 Chapter 110: Courage and Determination
Seeing this, Huo Ting wanted to persuade the second brother not to say anything, but before he could speak, Lone Chen shook his head with a smile, waved his hand, signaled that Lan Ling was enough, and then said very seriously: "Can I hug her?" β
"Huh?"
Gu Guoguo was stunned for a moment, but looking at Lonely Chen's sincere gaze, he nodded subconsciously and carefully handed over the star spirit in his arms.
Lonely Chen's handsome face had a hint of solemnity, and he stretched out his hand to take the star spirit and held it in his arms in the same way as Gu Guoguo, stiff and did not dare to move, completely looking like he was facing a great enemy.
Gu Guoguo carried the unconscious Lin Li on his back, carefully got down from Huo Ting's body, leaned Lin Li in the cave, and when he turned around, he saw Lonely Chen carefully holding the star spirit, Lan Ling looked at it with disgust, obviously didn't want to see it but couldn't help but peek, and Huo Ting turned back into a human form and teased her on the side.
Gu Guoguo muttered, didn't she see that they liked children so much? Although the Star Spirit is really cute.
Lonely Chen stretched out his hand and dotted the purple scales, staring at the little face in his arms that had not yet grown immature, with an unexpected softness in his eyes.
More than 100 years ago, he formed a bond with her ancestor, but he didn't expect that the fate finally fell on this little guy.
Huo Ting, who was on the side, looked at the scales under Lonely Chen's fingers, his golden beast pupils lit up, and he said with the same appearance: "Big brother, I'll just say how she has a familiar breath on her body, it turns out that these scales are yours!" β
No wonder he felt that the breath on her body was familiar, this was clearly the breath of the eldest brother, but why were the scales of the eldest brother on her? Although he didn't know the general situation, Xing Ling had a familiar aura on her, and he didn't reject her, but found it very interesting.
Compared to Huo Ting and Gu Guoguo, who didn't know it, he Lan Ling knew what the purple scales were.
It was the heart scale, the hardest scale on the snake demon clan, and the purple scale was the symbol of the royal family.
Lan Ling's stunned expression also recovered here, with an unusually excited and hoarse voice: "Big brother, this is..."
Lonely Chen interrupted what he was about to say, and rubbed the head of the star spirit in his arms with a smile: "Needless to say, her ancestors have been kind to me." β
"But," Lan Ling was reluctant to say something.
"Lan Ling, this is my own decision."
Lonely Chen said softly, and at the same time, a faint sadness flashed in his turquoise eyes.
This child is a survivor of Star Spirit Town, and the last bloodline she left behind.
Lan Ling's gloomy handsome face was silent, but he knew that what he decided would not change, and Huo Ting didn't ask much, because he wouldn't question his eldest brother's decision, and only Gu Guoguo, who was stunned, looked at himself and looked at them.
Did they make any agreement without her knowing, without her knowledge?
Seeing Gu Guoguo's puzzled look, Lonely Chen nodded at her and explained with a smile: "I have a relationship with this child, and I can promise to shelter you." β
Gu Guoguo was stunned for a moment, nodded and replied, "Thank you." β
But this was not what she thought, and she immediately looked at Lonely Chen, with a hint of pleading in her eyes: "Can you help me and save the Dao Chief." β
The smile on Lonely Chen's face also slowly converged, and his expression was solemn, and he had a trace of jealousy of the black widow.
"..., even he is no match for Black Widow, and we can't help it." Although he was not afraid of her, he could not take his brother to do something he was not sure of.
This woman has a crazy temperament and does things at any cost, but she can't be provoked at will, let alone be an enemy with her.
In this way, it is within Gu Guoguo's expectations, after all, no one will sacrifice their lives to help for no reason, and it seems too naΓ―ve to say that such a request is responsive.
However, she didn't have the slightest frustration and tears, she just bit her lip quite stubbornly, stared at her big bright eyes, didn't cry or make trouble, and there was only one thought in her heart, that is, she must go back to save the demon.
twisted his lips, and finally looked at him without fear, with a resolute smile on his pale little face: "I'm not here to ask you, I'm here to make a deal with you." β
Because she understands that there is no free lunch in this world, and there will be rewards if you pay; What's more, in this world of the jungle, if you want to be rewarded, you must sacrifice.
In the past, she just blindly complained about the injustice of this world, why was she born to be coveted as a great tonic, and even when she was alive, she was afraid of it, thinking that she was just complaining about the injustice of this world, but now she is glad that she is a great tonic.
Thinking of this, she also made that realization, which was the first time she was born to make a decision for the nine-leaf fruit ginseng.
"Oh?"
Lonely Chen was also a little surprised when he heard this, so he shook his head and smiled: "I'm not like Xiao Ting, who can buy it with osmanthus cake." β
As soon as these words came out, Huo Ting felt the knife eye from his second brother, and hurriedly wiped the crumbs of the osmanthus cake at the corner of his mouth, secretly saying that it was not good!
Did he steal food and get caught? Huo Ting shrank his head with a cowardly laugh.
Gu Guoguo didn't fluctuate when she heard this, but she slowly shook her head to indicate that her trading item was not the one, she twisted her lips and slowly raised her jade hand, and the ice blue long sword flashed.
"You," Lone Chen looked at her with some consternation, and then understood the deal she was talking about.
This fruit ginseng, which seemed cowardly and stubborn in the past, seemed to have changed in this instant, but it was her untainable natural enemy who brought her this change, that Taoist priest?
The blood with the fragrance of plants and trees flowed out of her wrist, her slender wrist could be described as a new injury before it was healed, Lonely Chen frowned and looked uncertain, Lan Ling also looked condensed, Huo Ting hurriedly ran over to stop the bleeding for her, and by the way, condensed the cold spiritual power to freeze the blood she flowed out, otherwise the blood would be wasted.
Gu Guoguo let Huo Ting clumsily bandage to stop the bleeding, gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, just looked at Lonely Chen stubbornly with his big bright eyes, and there was a humble pleading and a trace of despair in those eyes.
Lan Ling also looked at Lonely Dust with a slight expression, he was actually very dissatisfied with the arrival of Gu Guoguo, for that fruit ginseng, he never concealed his dissatisfaction and hostility towards her, because he felt that this fruit ginseng, which had no spiritual power but no power to restrain the chicken, could only live by clinging to others, and his fate was in the hands of others, but he was a waste, how to talk about freedom and dignity?
Such a fruit ginseng is a burden, but now it seems that he underestimated her, and her stubbornness and determination moved him; She could have run away, or she could have taken on nothing and continue to be that heartless fruit ginseng, but she didn't do it.
She actually shouldered this responsibility that should not belong to her, not only saved the little Taoist, but also had the courage to negotiate with herself.
This courage and determination, he had to face it squarely.
