Chapter 163 She Isn't Stupid

The girl in the distance stood stiffly, slowly turning around to reveal a familiar figure.

The height, the build, the voice, the mask, and behind the mask, those familiar eyes.

Jiang Xiao (Jiang Xun) said softly, "I told you to wait for me at home, why did you run all the way here?"

"Y-you... you finished your mission? You've adapted to your Star Techniques?" He Zhongyang stood up, her voice trembling slightly, "But... but Auntie just said, just said..."

Behind Jiang Xiao, there was another man wearing a white ghost helmet, but at this moment, He Zhongyang had completely ignored him.

"You're not stupid, Little Zhongyang." Jiang Xiao stepped forward, walked up to He Zhongyang, reached out and picked up the circle stone pendant on her necklace, looking at his own masked portrait.

Jiang Xiao said softly, "Maybe you don't have enough experience, maybe you haven't been through enough, maybe you're still stubborn, but Little Zhongyang, you're not stupid."

He Zhongyang stared blankly at Jiang Xiao, not moving a muscle and unable to say a word.

The scene before her, this real, existing person, made her feel like she was in a beautiful dream.

Jiang Xiao continued, "You knew that wasn't your aunt. For more than half a year, you've seen me many times, but you never said a word to me, always forbade me from approaching you. You realized something was wrong a long time ago, didn't you?"

"Gulp." He Zhongyang swallowed, her little head already a jumbled mess.

Jiang Xiao pressed He Zhongyang down onto the wooden stump stool, kneeling down and gently stroking her pretty short hair.

Jiang Xiao said softly, "You already knew something was wrong, you even drew everything out with your Zhi Mo Shu Hun (Paper, Ink, Book, Soul Star Pet), but you refused to accept it. You willingly let them deceive you."

"I..." He Zhongyang didn't respond, but reached out her small hand and placed it on Jiang Xiao's mask.

"Okay." Jiang Xiao said, "I promised you that the next time I saw you, I would let you see my real appearance. I can't take off the Quan Quan (Circle Circle) mask anymore, because that's the face I transformed into."

He Zhongyang directly took off Jiang Xiao's Quan Quan mask and saw an unfamiliar face, but also a pair of eyes that were familiar beyond words.

He Zhongyang hurriedly grabbed Jiang Xiao's palm, carefully examining the shape of his fingers, turning his hand over to look at the lines on his palm.

Exactly the same...

It really was exactly the same...

Little Zhongyang pouted her small mouth, and after confirming again and again, she didn't show any excitement at their reunion. Instead, she lowered her head and said softly, "I'm... I'm sorry."

Her voice was very soft, frighteningly soft.

Jiang Xiao put on the mask, using the cold stone mask to touch her forehead, and said, "You wanted to see me so much, don't you even have a hug for me?"

Hot tears flowed from He Zhongyang's eyes, like pearls falling to the ground and shattering. She sobbed and sobbed... sobbing with grievance, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand and her arm, already crying uncontrollably within a few short seconds.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xiao instinctively wanted to say, "Shut up!"

But... well, Jiang Xiao resisted.

He shouldn't inflict the demonic sounds that had grown up with him on Little Zhongyang.

Well, not today, maybe later~

Jiang Xiao hurriedly picked up Little Zhongyang and comforted her softly, "Okay, okay, don't cry, shhh..."

Who would have thought that this silencing "shhh" would instantly stop He Zhongyang from crying, forcing the sobs back, but the tears still flowed non-stop.

Jiang Xiao was stunned, what was going on?

How was it like a switch had been flipped?

Why would a simple exhalation sound, "shhh," cause such a big reaction from He Zhongyang?

She could force it back even while crying like this?

Beside them, the Zhi Mo Shu Hun, imprisoned in the Disaster Shadow Territory, had just floated out of the door, glaring at Jiang Xiao, but after seeing this scene, it also changed its expression, curiously sizing up Little Zhongyang, who was trying to hold back her crying.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, cry if you want to." Jiang Xiao said quickly, but He Zhongyang bit her lip and kept shaking her head.

Jiang Xiao frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I promised you that after seeing you again, I would never leave you again."

He Zhongyang's head was buried in Jiang Xiao's arms, her small hands tightly clutching his black cloak, silently nodding her head.

Jiang Xiao pondered for a long time and continued, "How about I take you back, home, back to Bai Hua Lin (White Birch Forest), where you have your real uncle and aunt, and old chieftain Bru, they all miss you very much."

"Mmm! Mmm!" Little Zhongyang nodded heavily, tears constantly wiping onto Jiang Xiao's clothes.

Devouring Sea Soul: "......"

Jiang Xiao released her from his embrace, straightened He Zhongyang, and reached out to wipe away her tears, saying, "Remember, they are bad people, people who deceive you. I will never be like that deceiver, I will never be impatient, never drive you away, and never scold you like that."

He Zhongyang lowered her eyes and nodded continuously, her pitiful little appearance very aggrieved.

"You're so old, it's long past the Double Ninth Festival, you're already 15 years old, right?" Jiang Xiao said with a smile, reaching out and scratching her red little nose, "Still like a child."

He Zhongyang was extremely anxious as soon as she heard that, and hurriedly grabbed Jiang Xiao's clothes, looking at Jiang Xiao with tearful eyes, "I'm obedient, I'm obedient..."

Jiang Xiao's expression froze, and unconsciously, he realized that there were some words that could not be said to He Zhongyang.

These words seemed to always be used to threaten and scold Little Zhongyang, which led to her being very frightened when she heard certain specific words.

F*ck!

Jiang Xiao felt terribly sorry for her, he really dared not say anything, nor dare to comfort her with a teasing or gentle tone.

Jiang Xiao directly opened his mouth and said, "Since you understand everything, then I will tell you now, everything they did to you, I will pay it all back."

He Zhongyang didn't respond, there was no less grievance on her face, but... she seemed to feel more guilt.

Jiang Xiao said, "You go into my dimension now, I'll go find those two people."

He Zhongyang still didn't speak, just tightly grabbed Jiang Xiao's clothes, her little head buried in Jiang Xiao's arms, as if she was afraid that he would leave again.

Jiang Xiao thought about it again and again, and didn't insist, and asked softly, "I know the residence of that couple, and I also know the location of the central command tent, where are they now?"

"Auntie, at, central tent. Uncle, don't know." Little Zhongyang said softly.

Jiang Xiao's expression was serious, "Remember, she is not your aunt, and he is not your uncle, never will be."

He Zhongyang nodded silently.

Jiang Xiao raised his head and whispered, "Fo Ye (Buddha), let's catch them off guard, reinforcements will be here soon, don't worry. In a while, you can directly Blink into the central command tent, you still remember the location on the map, right?"

What kind of person was Zhang Songfu, he nodded immediately.

Jiang Xiao said, "I have Star Power handcuffs in my Disaster Shadow Territory, you take them out. After Blinking into the tent, directly knock that woman unconscious, as long as she doesn't die, you can hit her however you want, handcuff her, and throw her into your Sea Ridge Shelter. You don't have anything in your shelter, right?"

Zhang Songfu's expression was serious, "Nothing, just some food and water. Before I left, I gave the Star Beads and the like to Cang Lan."

After saying that, Zhang Songfu continued, "It's better for you to go with me, Silence first, we don't know what kind of escape Star Techniques she has, it would be safer this way."

Jiang Xiao said, "You just listen to my orders."

With that, Jiang Xiao knelt on the ground, still holding He Zhongyang's body, but he fell silent, seeming to be lost in thought.

Zhang Songfu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

At the same time, in the central command tent, a glamorous woman wearing a leather jacket lifted the tent curtain and walked out, looking up at the cloudy sky, as if she had realized something.

The woman opened her mouth and ordered in oddly accented Chinese, "Pass down the order, the teams stationed around the camp should spread out, expand the area of stationing, and see if there..."

Before the woman could finish her sentence, she suddenly lost her voice, not only did she stop speaking, but even her movements froze!

The white-faced dancers and Yin-Yang Soul Masters stationed around the central command tent looked at their mistress in confusion, not knowing what had happened.

And behind the woman, in the soil beneath her feet, a misty, big-headed doll slowly revealed its head, also revealing those ruby-like eyes.

The misty little hand gently grabbed the woman's ankle.

The Yin-Yang Soul Master's ink-jade black face revealed a hint of surprise. What... what kind of creature was this? How had they never seen it before?

Immediately afterward, a hand reached out from the crack in the tent flap and aimed at the back of the woman's head, a purple beam of lightning erupting!

The white-faced dancers and Yin-Yang Soul Masters finally reacted, especially the Yin-Yang Soul Master, who immediately transformed into a Yin Soul form, about to attack, but was hit squarely by a Silence!

With Baze providing vision, Jiang Xiao, who was far away in He Zhongyang's camp, threw that Silence with absolute precision!

"Go!" Jiang Xiao ordered.

Zhang Songfu had originally thought that he would still have a scene where he would knock the woman unconscious, but when he Blinked into the camp, everything was already over.

In fact, Jiang Xiao had originally thought that there might be guards in the central command tent, and there might also be that man, so he specifically told Zhang Songfu that the target was that woman.

But, unexpectedly, the central command tent was empty, and that man was not there either. Perhaps... this woman liked the quiet.

Therefore, Baze didn't need to deal with the guards at all, which freed up time.

Those purple beams of lightning frantically shot at the woman! The woman, who was originally wearing a tight leather jacket, was almost "exploded" by the electricity.

Zhang Songfu, holding the handcuffs, only saw a woman with a scorched body, trembling and exuding a foul odor.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say to Jiang Xiao (Baze), "Don't fry her anymore! If you fry her any more, she'll be electrocuted to death!"

But... with the words at his lips, Zhang Songfu looked at Baze's extremely stiff face, and ultimately didn't say them...
