Deep in the mysterious island, the forbidden land known as the "secret area" is filled with an unspeakable sense of oppression and mystery.
After a long and torturous time, Ling Xiao seemed to have passed through endless darkness and pain, and finally broke free from a physically and mentally exhausted trial. His consciousness gradually returned, as if he was slowly rising from the abyss of hell.
, every minute and every second carries an unimaginable weight.
When Ling Xiao slowly opened his tired but still shining eyes with tenacious vitality, he found that he was being held tenderly in Jiang Xiruo's arms.
This long-lost warmth was like a ray of sunshine in spring, penetrating the haze in his heart and giving him endless comfort and strength. Although his body was still as heavy as lead, every tiny movement required tremendous effort.
, but this care from his mother made him feel unprecedented peace of mind and tranquility.
Jiang Xiruo looked at Ling Xiao's eyes that were glowing again, and the emotions surging in her heart were hard to describe. Her eyes were slightly red, but she tried hard not to let tears fall, for fear that her fragility would affect the newly awakened child.
She gently stroked Ling Xiao's forehead, her voice trembling but full of joy: "My child, you finally woke up... It's great, it's really great." Every word seemed to come from the beginning.
The softest place in my heart came out, filled with endless love and pity for Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao leaned on Jiang Xiruo's strong arms, and the familiar yet unfamiliar feeling filled his heart with warmth. He seemed to have returned to his carefree childhood, when he could always
Find the most solid support and the deepest comfort in the mother's arms.
At this moment, although he is in a dangerous place like a strange island, with his mother's company and protection, he seems to have returned to that small world full of love and warmth, and has once again enjoyed the happiness and peace of his childhood.
"Mom, your hands..." Ling Xiao's voice was filled with urgency and concern. His eyes were tightly locked on Jiang Xiruo's arm that was slowly dripping blood, and there was an uneasy feeling in his heart.
The love and doubt expressed in words.
In his memory, his mother Jiang Xiruo was not only his most solid support, but also an extraordinary strong person. Even when she was slightly weak, few people could easily hurt her at all. This sudden injury
, which made him frown, filled with confusion and worry.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiruo quickly responded in an understatement: "Don't worry, kid, it's really just a small injury, it's not a problem." As she spoke, she tried to hide her injured arm behind her back, for fear that Ling Xiao would be even more upset because of it.
She blamed herself. However, the blood-stained sleeves and slightly pale face betrayed the ease and indifference in her words.
Jiang Xiruo hurriedly took back his hand, his eyes were red and there was a hint of trembling in his voice: "When you wake up, mother will be relieved. But mother wants to tell you, never fight for mother again in the future. Mother knows your
My thoughts are with you, but Mom hopes you can protect yourself and stay safe. Your safety is more important to Mom than anything else. Remember, Mom doesn’t want you to make any unworthy sacrifices for me."
Although Ling Xiao's voice was weak, it revealed an unquestionable determination: "Mom, don't worry, I'm really fine. It's just that if you use this method, your body will indeed suffer a lot of backlash, and the feeling is really unbearable."
"But you also know that the opponent is too powerful. Otherwise, how could I win this battle? But, mother, don't worry, I know it well, and I will never use it lightly unless it is absolutely necessary. After all, although this method is
It’s strong, but it also comes with huge risks.”
Having said this, a complex emotion flashed through Ling Xiao's eyes, including the desire for victory and concern about the side effects of the method.
"I will try my best to control myself and not let the backlash affect my foundation. I know that what you are most worried about is that I get hurt, so I will definitely be more careful. Mom, please believe me, I will use my own way to
Protect our home."
"well……"
Jiang Xiruo sighed. Now that the child is older, it is really not easy to explain.
She is fully aware of the pressure and pain her son has endured, and she also understands the tenacity and persistence in his heart.
She gently stroked Ling Xiao's face, her voice full of tenderness and distress: "My child, mother knows your thoughts and understands your difficulties. Mother does not ask you to become a great hero, I only hope that you can be safe and healthy.
Stay healthy. Mom knows you have your own way to go, but please remember that no matter when and where, Mom is your strongest support."
Lying in his mother's warm and solid arms, Ling Xiao felt an unprecedented sense of peace and strength. He slowly opened his eyes, with a firm light shining in his eyes, and then sat up suddenly, gently holding Ali beside him.
and Tongtong released.
Ah Li lay there quietly, her little body wrapped with bandages, looking extremely fragile, but there still seemed to be an unyielding light in her closed eyes. Ling Xiao's heart tightened suddenly, and he
He hurriedly turned to Tongtong, with a hint of urgency in his voice: "Ali...how is she doing now?"
Tongtong's eyes turned red instantly, tears welling up in her eyes, but she tried her best to stay strong and replied with a slightly choked voice: "Dad, don't worry. Although Sister Ahli was seriously injured, her life is not in danger.
.It’s just that she was seriously injured and needs some time to recover, so she hasn’t woken up yet.”
Ling Xiao's fists were clenched tightly, and his knuckles were slightly white from the exertion. He looked directly at Tongtong with burning eyes, and there was unquestionable determination in his tone:
"Tongtong, don't worry, I, Ling Xiao, will do what I say. I must destroy the huge Jiang family, not only for Ah Li's suffering, but also for the suffering I have suffered over the years. Their family
There must be a healing elixir in it, and I vow to get it, so that Ahri can be restored to her original state and her smile can bloom again."
At this time, Ling Xiao felt very complicated in his heart. He was not only angry, but also extremely guilty. If it weren't for him, could Ahri have been taken away? Could he have suffered that crime? When he thought of this, he felt like he was being taken away.
It hurts like pins and needles.
He was angry, angry at those guys who did bad things, for being so cruel and attacking Ahri so harshly. He was also angry with himself, for why he failed to protect her at that time.
But what made him even more uncomfortable was the feeling of guilt, which was like a big stone pressing on his heart, making him unable to breathe. He thought repeatedly, if he could have been more careful, or stronger, or not so
If you trust Tianxiahui, Ahli will not suffer this fate.
Fortunately, Ah Li was still alive, which gave him some comfort. Otherwise, he really didn't know how he would face it and make up for this mistake.
