Chapter 577 (1/2)
Holding Little Xingxing, Long Yi gently kissed her forehead. Looking over at Teresa, he said, ”It's so moving that you didn't sleep and specially waited for us here.”
Teresa smiled warmly. Looking at Xingxing in Long Yi's bosom, she said, ”After you all left, this girl kept on crying. I haven't been able to sleep since yesterday, so without any other choices, we came here to wait for your return. I saw the weather suddenly changing and guessed that you all were returning.”
Long Yi was startled. Patting the little b.u.t.t of Xingxing, he said, ”Little Xingxing, were you disobedient?”
Xingxing looked up and felt Long Yi's cheeks with her little hands. She pouted, ”Big brother Long, you didn't keep your word! You said that you would never leave me and my mother, but you ran away when Xingxing was sleeping.”
Long Yi felt somewhat sad in his heart and apologized, ”Fine, it's big brother Long's fault, but why didn't you sleep?”
”Without big brother Long, Xingxing will neither sleep nor eat.” Xingxing acted like a spoiled child.
Long Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he felt a kind of indescribable happiness in his heart. It truly was a good feeling.
At this time, Liuli, Barbarian Bull and Li Qing greeted Teresa. As for Midi'er and Leguxiya, they watched Teresa in a daze.
”Two naughty ghosts, don't you two recognize your aunt?” Teresa smiled. Striding toward them, she rubbed the heads of the siblings.
”Aunt Teresa, you are Aunt Teresa! It turns out you were living in this island. Every time I asked where you were to Father Emperor, he'd never told me,” Midi'er said with some excitement. When she was young, Sa Lianya and Teresa regularly played with her, so she had a particularly deep feeling towards them. Merely, after Teresa had snuck out eight hundred years ago, she had no longer heard any news about her.
Teresa's beautiful eyes became somewhat dim as she sighed. ”Your father has his own difficulties. Okay, let's return first.”
By the time they had returned to Teresa's log cabin, Xingxing had already fallen asleep in Long Yi's bosom. Now, Long Yi and the others drank tea while discussing the matter of rescuing Liuxu's parents from the forbidden area of the Dragon Clan.
However, only elders of the Dragon Clan and the Dragon King were qualified to enter the forbidden area, so no one knew what was inside.
Blue Moon Continent.
A cold and austere aura enveloped the atmosphere that was warm with spring. In order to compete for the limited resources, an endless battle between all the big races had begun. Many lives had been shed, and many more remained to be reaped.
Trees cut down, flowers trampled underfoot, and cities burned down. The victims had nowhere to hide: their only fate was dying unburied in the wilds. The war in this place was much crueler than the war on Blue Waves Continent because the war was not for power but rather for survival. Blue Moon Continent, which had once been a fairyland, had already changed beyond recognition.
Now, Blue Moon Continent was divided into two big opposing camps. The agglomeration of the dwarf, elf and other humanoid races were in the human camp. The agglomeration of the winged people, spirit, and half-beast races were in the spirit camp.
Cyan Wind Empire was the foremost empire of mankind. Emperor Mu Qingming naturally a.s.sumed the leaders.h.i.+p of the human camp. At this moment, it was late at night. The sky was full of stars, but Mu Qingming wasn't feeling sleepy at all. He stood in front of a window with a frown, gazing at the lands below. A warm breeze blew against his face, carrying the faint whiff of gunpowder.
