Morning Star

Chapter 222 Let her go!

Xiao Xiao patted her back gently: "Okay, go home, go home, go home now."

Oh, she is so tired. It is so exhausting every time she gets drunk.

However, as soon as the words fell, Chujiu refused to give in. With a sad face, he waved his arms and refused to leave: "No... woo... wow... I want Xingxing to hug me... woo... Xingxing is angry... woo... I want Xingxing to hug me, I want Xingxing to hug me..."

"..." She was speechless. She didn't know who got so drunk because of that star.

You said you didn't like it, but now that you're drunk you know you want stars.

He sighed helplessly, "Okay, okay, let's go find the stars, okay? Your stars are waiting for you at home, we'll be able to see them when we get back. Then you can hug them however you want, okay? Hmm?"

While Xiao Xiao was trying to comfort her, he also had to explain to the passers-by who were looking at him strangely. She was simply a big complainer.

When Chujiu heard that Xingxing was waiting for him at home, he stopped crying and shouted immediately, and obediently let Xiaoxiao help him go back to the inn.

She kept talking all the way, now talking about this and now talking about that. Sometimes she was mumbling so much that I couldn't tell what she was saying.

She said she wanted to eat buns the previous second, but when I took her to the bun shop and was about to buy buns for her, she asked her what she was doing.

I told her to buy her some buns, but she said, what do you want to buy her some buns for?

She really didn't know whether to be angry or helpless. It was different from moment to moment, and that was all she could bear.

After finally returning to the inn, I thought she was going to look for Mo Xinglan, but she just kept going into her room.

He lay on the bed, holding her hand and not letting her leave, insisting that she sleep with him.

Fortunately, I had eaten before, otherwise I wouldn’t have had any dinner.

I coaxed her to drink the sobering soup and then accompanied her to sleep.

……

Before we knew it, late night had arrived and only a few people were left on the streets. Some shops that were open at night also began to close.

A breeze blew in through the open window. Chujiu, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, shivered.

Although Chujiu drank the sobering soup, he still had a headache and woke up unknowingly.

He sat up and looked around dazedly, trying to recall what had happened and how he had gotten back to his room.

I only remembered the scene where I pulled Xiao Xiao and asked her to sleep with me.

But Xiao Xiaoren was not in the room at this moment, so she got out of bed with doubts. She thought she had gone back to her room to sleep, so she didn't think much about it.

A gust of cold wind blew and she shivered. She looked over and wondered why the window was open. She walked over and closed the window.

Feeling thirsty again, I went to the table, picked up the kettle and wanted to pour myself a glass of water, but found that there was no water.

But I was really thirsty, so I had to go out reluctantly downstairs to get some water.

I thought there was no one downstairs, but I didn't expect that the old shopkeeper was still counting the accounts with an abacus.

She stood by the table and poured a glass of water, wondering, "Grandpa, why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night? What are you doing here?"

"I'm not the only one who doesn't sleep." The old shopkeeper didn't look up and continued moving his hands.

"?" Chujiu looked at him puzzledly while drinking water.

He continued, "Aren't you looking for that girl Delia? She should be in the west alley."

"Huh?" When the old shopkeeper mentioned Delia, she took a moment to react before she realized he was talking about Xiao Xiao.

She wondered what Xiao Xiao was doing in the West Alley so late at night. She put down her cup and asked in confusion, "What was she doing in the West Alley?"

The old shopkeeper did not answer, but sighed: "You should go and have a look. It will only work if you go. If you go any later, the girl might die."

"What?!"

Hearing this, Chujiu was startled and panicked. Without thinking, he ran out the door quickly.

The old shopkeeper's voice gradually faded away from behind me: "Girl, remember, don't be impulsive. You will regret it if you act on impulse."

Chujiu heard it but didn't know why he said that. But her intuition told her that something bad had happened and Xiaoxiao was in danger.

She quickened her pace and ran as fast as she could.

Fortunately, it didn't take long to reach the West Alley. However, the scene before her made her eyes widen and her pupils tremble suddenly, and her heart turned cold. It felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on her, but it couldn't calm her down, instead it made her gradually lose her mind.

A few meters ahead, I saw Mo Xinglan holding Xiao Xiao's neck tightly with his right hand.

In the dark midnight, he was pale, with disheveled hair and dressed in white, but with a sinister, twisted and crazy smile on his face, he looked like a ghost who was taking people's lives.

He said sinisterly, "Don't worry, I won't let you die so quickly. After all, only the living can experience pain, haha."

Xiao Xiao, who was having difficulty breathing, looked extremely painful. He grabbed his wrists tightly with both hands, trying to pry his hands apart.

The scene before him made Chujiu's mind go blank, and he was filled with rage. Without hesitation, he drew out the Lingyun Whip and swung it at Mo Xinglan.

He roared, "Let her go!"

"?!"

The twisted smile on Mo Xinglan's face suddenly froze.

Seeing the Lingyun Whip coming at him without hesitation, he reflexively let go of Xiao Xiao and dodged to the side. However, the wound on his body caused him to pause in his dodging action, and this pause caused him to be whipped.

The bone whip lashed at his body, tearing his clothes and even the skin beneath the cloth.

Bright red blood flowed out from the whip marks on the chest, staining the surrounding snow-white fabric red.

He was forced to take a few steps back and subconsciously raised his hand to hold onto the alley wall closest to him.

A mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth, and he lost balance and half-knelt on the ground.

With a frown on his face, he stood up with difficulty, holding onto the wall, his body trembling slightly due to the severe pain.

Although this whip didn't mean to hurt him, the Lingyun Whip was not an ordinary whip. Moreover, Chujiu had not been able to control the Lingyun Whip well after the battle with Mo Yun, so it was difficult for him to bear this whip.

Chujiu was shocked and puzzled that Mo Xinglan did not dodge. She knew that Lingyun Whip was somewhat out of her control, but no matter how out of control Lingyun Whip was, it was also related to the strength of the user. With her strength, the power and speed of the whip just now, and considering the injuries on Mo Xinglan's body, she should have been able to dodge it, but he did not dodge it.

She hesitated for a moment, thinking of Xiao Xiao who was just held in his hand. She ignored him and ran to Xiao Xiao to check her injuries.

Xiao Xiao was unconscious at this time.

She didn't know how to check the injuries or take Xiao Xiao's pulse, but her intuition told her that Xiao Xiao needed to be rescued immediately.

After all, Mo Xinglan's expression and words just now did not seem fake.

Thinking of what he just said, a bad feeling arose.

"What did you do?" She turned her head to look at Mo Xinglan who had stood up and was leaning against the wall and asked coldly.

"Heh." He sneered, his voice hoarse and weak as he covered his wound, "Guess."

"..." She was so angry that she couldn't speak. Looking at the unconscious Xiao Xiao, she always felt that her life was slipping away bit by bit.

No matter what, I'll take Xiao Xiao back to the inn to let the old man see him.
