Ling Chen laid on the bed, staring at the ceiling. After a long time, he still didn't feel sleepy. He glanced sideways, and saw a pair of bright eyes looking at him warily … Little Tian Tian also didn't sleep, and was constantly on guard, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly jump up and eat her in the middle of the night.
The bed was big enough for him to lie on the outermost side, while Shui Ruo was in the middle, and Tian Tian was protected in the innermost. As soon as Tian Tian got on the bed, she burrowed into Shui Ruo's embrace, occasionally sneaking glances at Ling Chen, as if she was looking at a big bad wolf that could eat her at any time. Shui Ruo could only hug Tian Tian with one arm, and lean her back against Ling Chen's chest. Shui Ruo was the first to fall asleep. After so many years, this was the first time she had fallen asleep with her back facing her brother. Ling Chen, on the other hand, had a stomach full of depression … having a little beauty on his bed should have been such a pleasant thing, but he simply couldn't bring himself to do it, because with her there, he couldn't hug Shui Ruo, couldn't whisper to her, and as for doing that thing that he had done yesterday, it was even more impossible.
Moreover, he had to be stared at by this little thing.
If he couldn't find her parents, would he really have to keep her at home and keep her like this? Ling Chen started to have a headache, and it seemed that this wasn't a good thing at all.
Ling Chen raised his wrist, and pressed the game button. Since he couldn't sleep, he might as well go back to the game.
"Ding … Welcome to the world of Mystic Moon, I hope you have a good time."
Ling Chen appeared in the scarecrow territory, and without saying anything, he picked up his weapon and rushed towards the densely packed scarecrows. This was a good place to train. Scarecrows were densely packed, but because their attacks were rather simple, and their mobility was quite average, there wasn't much pressure on him. With a swing of his two weapons, a large group of them would fall. Against a group of LV18 players and a LV30 monster, his experience naturally skyrocketed, and it wouldn't take long for him to reach LV19. He looked at his current experience bar, and decided to spend a few hours here to reach LV19 before heading south.
"Master, tell me a story."
As soon as he appeared, Leng'Er, who had been cooped up in the Pet Space for a long time, floated out. She watched him fight the monsters while making a light request. But at the moment, she didn't seem to have the intention to help her master fight the monster.
If he had known that Leng'Er would develop a bad habit of listening to stories, Ling Chen wouldn't have told Leng'Er stories on a whim. Facing Leng'Er's expectant gaze, he held it in for a long time. While cleaning the scarecrows, he helplessly explained, "In a place far, far away, there is a planet called the Xiya Star. The ancestors of that planet came from a place called Hua Xia on Earth. Because they possessed some special magic, they went to the Xiya Star and brought with them the technology and civilization that belonged to Earth. One day, this planet called Xia was attacked by other planets, and many people died. In order to protect her daughter, the queen of the planet used the only thing called a spaceship to send her daughter to the place called Earth. She told her daughter to use her own magic to protect herself, to make everyone on Earth listen to her, to protect her, to give her food, to give her a place to sleep and bathe, and to rule over all the humans on Earth. Then, she would bring the humans on Earth back to save them … "
Leng'Er held the doll in one hand and rested her chin on the other, listening very intently.
This was what Ling Chen had thought of.
The rest was purely Ling Chen's fabrication.
"… In the end, Ling Chen and Ruoruo came to the Xiya Star and used their powerful magic to defeat all the bad people there. The people of the Xiya Star, including little Tian Tian, all cheered happily and knelt in front of them, swearing to become their servants. From then on, Ling Chen and Ruoruo became the kings of the Xiya Star, and lived happily ever after. Ah, that's the end of the story. "
Leng'Er listened with great interest, but Ling Chen was sweating profusely.
"Nice …" Leng'Er clenched her small hands and commented in a tender voice.
Ling Chen smiled proudly.
"I still want to hear …"
Ling Chen almost cried on the spot. He quickly took out a new doll and gave it to Leng'Er. "Leng'Er, Master has something to do now, so I won't tell Leng'Er a story for now. You can play with this doll. "
Leng'Er smiled happily when she got the new doll. Then, she floated to the side and focused on playing with the new doll. Ling Chen heaved a sigh of relief and continued to abuse the scarecrow. The scarecrow had been set to be of the wind attribute, so the low-grade Wind Resistance Crystal that Little Gray had refined was a low-grade Wind Resistance Crystal. It was one of the weaker crystals, but its price was the same as other low-grade crystals. If there was enough of it, it could still be sold for a high price in shops.
After farming scarecrows for almost an hour, Ling Chen's EXP bar continued to rise, bringing him closer and closer to LV19. At this moment, his communication device sounded, and Mu Bing Yao's voice sounded. "Master, something happened to Su 'Er?"
Ling Chen was startled, and quickly stopped what he was doing and retreated to a safe area. He frowned and asked, "What happened to Su 'Er?"
He suddenly noticed that it was midnight, and Yun Meng Xin, Xiao Qi and Su 'Er, who would normally be online at this time, were not online. Yun Feng was also not online, and Mu Bing Yao had evidently only just logged on. Soon, Mu Bing Yao's cold voice sounded. "Su 'Er spends most of her time with Yun Meng Xin, Xiao Qi and I in the Heart's Dreams workshop. In the afternoon, Su 'Er was sent by her parents to attend a banquet, and won't be back until very late. Ten minutes ago, Yun Meng Xin received a phone call saying that Su 'Er was attacked by an unknown person on the way back to the Heart's Dreams workshop. The driver and two bodyguards were knocked unconscious, and Su' Er was kidnapped. Her whereabouts are currently unknown. "
"What?" Ling Chen's eyebrows furrowed. Su 'Er's father was the mayor of Beijing, and her uncle was the third head of Hua Xia. With such a position, there would definitely be countless people who had enmity with her family. It was not uncommon for her family to be attacked and assassinated. He quickly calmed down and asked, "Have you found any clues?"
"Not yet. Right now, the Su family has already searched the entire city. It shouldn't be long before we have results." Hearing the concern in Ling Chen's voice, Mu Bing Yao asked tentatively, "Do you need us to do anything?"
"No need." Ling Chen shook his head decisively. "Beijing is the Su family's territory. Having Su 'Er kidnapped is already embarrassing enough. They won't allow the people who kidnapped Su' Er to leave Beijing. Unless those people are purely seeking revenge, Su 'Er will be fine for the time being. At most, she will be found within an hour. "
"Understood."
Su 'Er was usually a person of few words. She would blush if people looked at her for too long. She was as weak as a kitten, and did not have the domineering air of a princess from a rich family. After spending so much time together, he also liked this girl who would often sneak a peek at him. She had been attacked, and her whereabouts were unknown. Ling Chen couldn't help but worry … He could only hope that the Su family would be more efficient and not let this weak girl suffer too much shock or harm.
He continued to level up, destroying the scarecrow's territory. Even without Xi Ling, his leveling speed was still quite shocking. His attack was already very high, and his attack range was also very large. Adding on his dual weapons, it was hard for him not to kill monsters quickly. Little Gray's speed was not slow at all. Basically, every time Ling Chen killed a group, it would devour another group.
Another half an hour passed, and Ling Chen's LV18 EXP had risen to 70%. He stopped and was about to ask Mu Bing Yao about Su 'Er's situation, but just as he picked up his communication device, he heard a series of notifications.
"Ding … someone is calling you from the outside world. Do you want to log off?"
"Ding … someone is calling you from the outside world. Do you want to log off?"
Ruo Ruo is calling me? Ling Chen did not even think and immediately logged off.
Just as he left the Mystic Moon world, Ling Chen heard Tian Tian's pitiful voice …
"Wuu … but, but I really want to eat chocolate. Big sister, can you let me eat some, please …"
In the middle of the night, the room was completely dark. Little Tian Tian's bright eyes shone in the darkness … for them to be so bright, she was probably about to cry. She grabbed onto Shui Ruo's clothes with both hands, and shook her head as she begged. The contents of her begging made Ling Chen feel very conflicted. He had eaten dinner for six people, and now he suddenly woke up in the middle of the night to want to eat chocolate!
"Be good Tian Tian, I really don't have any here. Also, eating chocolate while sleeping is bad for your teeth … Ah, big brother, you're awake." Seeing that Ling Chen had woken up, Shui Ruo let out a sigh of relief, "Big brother, Tian Tian wants to eat chocolate, otherwise she won't be able to sleep. No matter how much I try to persuade her, she's already eaten all of it. She ate all the food we bought in the afternoon, so … "
"Alright, I'll go buy some." Ling Chen said helplessly. He knew that if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't dissuade this little Tian Tian, Shui Ruo definitely wouldn't have the heart to disturb him while he was in the game.
"En!" Shui Ruo nodded lightly, "I remember that there's chocolate in the nearest vending machine … Little Tian Tian, don't cry, big brother will go buy chocolate for you now. Hurry and thank big brother."
"Hmph!" Little Tian Tian pouted and said in a small voice, "He's this demon king's servant, so buying chocolate for this demon king is what he should do. There's no need to thank him!"
Shui Ruo smiled sweetly, "Alright, alright, then our demon king will lie down first. At your age, you should rest more."
After comforting Tian Tian, Shui Ruo took Ling Chen's clothes and draped them over his shoulders. She secretly stuck out her tongue, "Big brother, I'll have to trouble you. After all, she's still a child, so just let her be … big brother, come back soon."
Walking out of the house, Ling Chen felt the cold midnight wind blow against him. It was only his first day here, and he was already like this. If he stayed here for the rest of his life, how could he live like this?!
The child that he and Ruo Ruo picked up seemed to be a little ancestor that was scarier than a demon king!
However, he could only accept it. After all, Ruo Ruo liked her.
"Protect them." Before walking out of the house, Ling Chen said in a low voice to the air in front of him.
Ling Chen walked sadly on the road, and before he knew it, he had already passed through two streets. It was almost one o 'clock in the morning, and under the dim lights, there were only occasional cars passing by. There wasn't a single pedestrian in sight. It didn't take long before he arrived at his destination. This was a pedestrian street that wasn't too wide. All the shops were closed, and there were only various vending machines on both sides of the street. The ones selling snacks seemed to be the ones in the middle.
With both hands in his pockets, Ling Chen walked forward lightly. Suddenly, his ears twitched, and he stopped.
"Screech!!!!"
An ear-piercing braking sound came from the intersection in front of him. Then, two dazzling beams of light shone on Ling Chen's body, and then, there was the crazy roar of a car's engine. The car crazily rushed towards Ling Chen, and in the blink of an eye, it had already rushed in front of Ling Chen … but it didn't show any signs of slowing down.
Motor vehicles were prohibited on the pedestrian street, and after this car turned into the traffic lane, it madly accelerated all the way. When it reached in front of Ling Chen, its speed had already exceeded 120 km/h. The lights on the pedestrian street were bright enough, and Ling Chen was walking in the middle of the road. As long as one wasn't blind, they would definitely be able to see him clearly from the car. However, this car didn't slow down, nor did it change lanes … On the narrow pedestrian street, there was indeed no way to change lanes, and it looked like it was about to hit Ling Chen.
"Courting death!!" Ling Chen's face suddenly became gloomy. If it was an ordinary person, being hit by a car at this speed would definitely be a death sentence. And in the middle of the night, someone who dared to drive like this on the pedestrian street and ignore the person they were about to hit was either a madman or a fleeing murderer.
