Morning Star

Chapter 221 I am not your property, nor your plaything

Chujiu rolled his eyes at her and ignored her. He looked at her for a while and then put away the True Fire Pearl.

Thinking of the snow fruits in the storage ring, which were elixirs that could be eaten directly as fruits, he planned to take out some of the remaining snow fruits from the storage ring and give them to her.

But when she probed her consciousness into the storage ring, she found a pattern that looked familiar, but she couldn't tell what it was.

Thinking that the Garcia family that Xiao Xiao was in was very familiar with the battle formation, he showed it to Xiao Xiao: "Look at the pattern on this storage ring, do you know what it is?"

Xiao Xiao followed her gaze and looked at the storage ring in her hand. He looked at it for a long time and blinked in confusion.

He reached out and took the storage ring in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, and finally saw a clue.

"This... is a formation." She hesitated for a moment, then said affirmatively.

Chujiu frowned slightly: "Formation? What formation?"

She had often taken things out of this storage ring before, but she had never noticed any formation. When was the formation set up? Who set it up?

Wait, among the people she knew, Mo Xinglan was the only one who could use the formation. Could it be him? What did he want to do?

In doubt, Xiao Xiao exclaimed: "Wow, the monkeys in this formation are so cool."

"What do you mean?" Chujiu asked puzzledly.

I just heard her say: "I have seen a formation that is very similar to this one, um... it should be of that type."

"What formation? What's its use? What is it used for?" Chujiu spoke with some urgency in his tone.

Xiao Xiao thought about it carefully for a while, and her eyebrows gradually frowned: "This kind of formation is usually used to monitor people. As long as the person who draws the formation wants, he can see everything the person says and does at all times."

"What?!" Chujiu yelled, even with a hint of anger in his tone.

Xiao Xiao was startled by her yelling and glared at her: "Why are you yelling so loudly?"

What's wrong with her?

Wait, a formation. Who would draw a formation on her storage ring? Someone close to her.

The first person Xiao Xiao thought of was Mo Xinglan.

At the same time, Mo Xinglan saw this scene, and his heart trembled violently with Chujiu's roar. His heart was hanging in the air.

The girl said a few words to Xiao Xiao and then turned around and walked towards the inn angrily.

He looked at the girl in the mirror in astonishment. Even through the mirror he could feel her anger.

He thought she would understand him...

"Click!"

A crisp sound rang out. The mirror in front of Mo Xinglan cracked. It was caused by someone on the other side forcibly destroying the formation with spiritual energy.

Time passed slowly, apparently flowing at the same moderate pace as before, but for Mo Xinglan this period was extremely torturous.

The mirror on the table has been shattered, and now it is just an ordinary broken mirror.

……

"boom!"

There was a loud bang and the door was kicked open.

Mo Xinglan clenched his hands tightly on his knees.

Chujiu took two steps at a time and quickly came to his side, and with a "pop" she slapped the two storage rings he had given her on the table in front of him.

His long eyelashes trembled as he looked at the two storage rings on the table.

"Oh, I never knew you had such a habit." She sneered and mocked, looking at him as if she was looking at something disgusting.

Pointing to the ring on the table, he said, "You know better than me what's on it."

Still unable to swallow the anger in his heart, he replaced the mocking voice with anger: "I accepted your things because I trust you. I asked myself, I have never doubted you! Mo Xinglan, you only asked me what I think of you, then what do you think of me?"

Then he roared: "I am not your property, let alone your plaything. You only make me feel disgusted!"

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and said in a trembling voice: "If I had known you were such a person..."

He bit his lower lip and said fiercely, "I should have stayed away from you."

After saying that, he turned and left. A few seconds later, the sound of a door slamming was heard.

"..."

Mo Xinglan clenched his hands tightly, then suddenly raised his right hand and violently knocked the things on the table to the ground.

There was a crackling sound.

The porcelain was broken into pieces all over the floor, and the water in the teapot spilled out, soaking the ground.

He rested his arms on the table, his palms clenched tightly.

When he knocked over the items on the table just now, several teacups were broken, and the fragments cut his fingers, and now there were traces of blood wrapped around his palms.

He had already suffered internal injuries from using a formation to kill a killer, which caused a relapse of his injuries. Now, he was even more angry at Chujiu's words. A mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth and he started coughing violently.

After coughing for a while, he covered the wound on his upper abdomen, lay on the table, lowered his head and gasped.

He glanced at the two storage rings lying quietly on the table for a long time, and suddenly a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He laughed softly, then gradually became louder and louder.

He was clearly laughing, but there was no trace of happiness in his laughter. Instead, it sounded bitter.

He laughed and started coughing again.

After he stopped coughing and wheezing, the smile on his face completely disappeared, leaving only cruelty and gloom.

……

Chujiu rushed out of the inn angrily and met Xiaoxiao who had just walked to the door of the inn on his way out.

Seeing her angry face, Xiao Xiao was a little worried, so he went up to her and pulled her aside: "Did you have a fight?"

Chujiu's anger finally subsided. But once his anger subsided, he felt wronged and unwilling again. He hugged her and leaned his head on her shoulder. Instead of answering her, he said in a muffled voice, "Will you stay with me?"

Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, sighed and nodded, then accompanied Chujiu out again.

The streets were filled with people hurrying and noisy. In an inn nearby, two girls sat facing each other, eating and drinking.

"Oh, drink less." Seeing Chujiu raising the bottle of wine in his hand and about to pour it into his mouth again, Xiao Xiao hurriedly reached out to grab it.

Chujiu refused and hid to the side, took a sip, hid the bottle in his arms, and pouted: "No, this is mine. I want to drink it, I want to drink it..."

As she spoke, she lay on the table, pursed her lips and became sad, murmuring: "Wu... I want to go home... Wuwu..."

Xiao Xiao sighed helplessly and shook his head. He stood up and walked to her side, stroking her back like coaxing a child: "Okay, let's go home. Let's go home now, okay? Let's go home now? Hmm?"

I know that what Chujiu was talking about was not the going home that she had mentioned, but I can still comfort Chujiu in this way at this moment.

Seeing that she had almost finished her drink, he couldn't let her drink any more, so he turned his head and shouted at the counter, "Boss, check out."

After paying the bill, he helped Chujiu out of the inn.

It was getting dark, but there were still many people on the road. Xiao Xiao supported the drunk Chujiu and staggered back to the inn.

"Woo... I want to go home... Woo..." Chujiu murmured as he walked.
