Free Web NovelChapter 1277: Chapter 1274: Fourth Brother Saves the Beauty—Super Cool
The Void Space returned to calm. 007 said, "I’ll head back to the learning space first; I have to thoroughly study what that spiritual body left behind."
With that, the black cat leaped and disappeared from the Void Space. At the same time, the learning space and military training space reopened. Xiao Wu glanced at Qin Zhan; noticing the man’s face was consistently indifferent and cold, Xiao Wu snorted and disappeared from the Void Space in a flash of red, leaving a message, "I’m heading out first; Meng Chi and the others are waiting for me to train them... Sister! Don’t let anyone take advantage of you!"
Bi Xia: ...
Qin Zhan: ...
With a helpless chuckle, Bi Xia glanced around; only she and Qin Zhan were left in the Void Space. Her starry eyes rippled with emotion as she deeply looked at the man’s stern face. When her eyes landed on the wound on his cheek, her dark pupils contracted, becoming deeper and darker. After a moment, she pursed her lips, "How did you end up here..."
Without answering the girl’s words, Qin Zhan wrapped his long arm around her, pulling her into his embrace. The firm grip seemed to want to embed the girl into his body. His hot breath brushed against her neck, and Bi Xia instinctively withdrew her neck slightly, but then smiled and gave Qin Zhan a firm hug in return.
His lips lightly brushed against the top of her fluffy and soft hair. The girl could not see Qin Zhan’s phoenix-like eyes, which were gradually turning a murky red-gold. Yet no matter how he hid it, the worry and dread in his eyes were impossible to conceal. Even when facing gunfire or fierce beasts, or venturing into the lion’s den and being gravely injured, he never felt such fear. God knows how worried he was when he felt his spiritual power uneasily flickering in this space, and he rushed in to find his girl looking so pale.
All he could do was hold the little girl in his arms tightly, listening to her breath and her voice, reminding himself bit by bit that she was safe now...
"How did you get in?" Bi Xia softly continued the previous topic.
"When you were sleeping, I secretly sent a strand of spiritual power inside," Qin Zhan admitted frankly, "There was a disturbance here today, so I followed the spiritual power in... Actually, like that spiritual body, I’m not my real self; I’m just a more realistic spiritual body."
Bi Xia laughed and moved her small head against Qin Zhan’s chest, "Just like you, I’m not my real self either, just a... slightly more real spiritual body."
With a light laugh, Qin Zhan sighed, "I thought you promised to take care of yourself well, yet you keep causing me worry. Are you doing it on purpose?"
Hearing Qin Zhan’s words, Bi Xia pretended to get up, but Qin Zhan quickly pulled her back into his embrace. Pausing for a moment, Bi Xia wrapped her arms around Qin Zhan’s waist again, "Are you sure you want to criticize me? I saw it just now—your face is quite a mess! What happened to promising not to get hurt?"
"Are you throwing my own words back at me?" Qin Zhan laughed, "Does this count as hoisting oneself with their own petard?"
"Of course not," Bi Xia shook her head, "because that’s exactly what I wanted to say to you."
Silently, Qin Zhan curved his thin lips, without answering Bi Xia, and instead asked, "Do I look handsome?"
Obviously not expecting Qin Zhan to ask such a question, Bi Xia’s brows raised, and she nodded, "Incredibly handsome! Fourth Brother saving the beauty, it’s overwhelmingly handsome!"
"Our Jiu was also overwhelmingly handsome when defending his territory."
"Of course, he’s always been handsome!"
The two of them laughed softly together, laughing for who knows how long until the laughter gradually subsided, and they both fell into silence. The silent embrace, the quiet space, and after a moment, the girl’s cool yet slightly despondent voice softly rose, "Qin Zhan, you lied to me. You said you would be back in Beijing before Bi Xiaoyuan’s birthday."
Qin Zhan remained silent, just holding the girl tightly to feel the warmth of her body.
"I have a really bad feeling, a really bad feeling," Bi Xia said softly, "Since returning to Qing City, I’ve had a bad feeling, and I don’t know why. It’s just a very bad feeling."
"...It’s okay," Qin Zhan said softly, "I will make sure everything is alright."
Hearing his words, Bi Xia tightly pressed her red lips together, raising her hand to push Qin Zhan away and biting hard on his lower lip, "Liar... Liar!"
