Chapter 1217 Dominance
Perhaps because he was too tired last night, Xia Mingming snuggled into Yan Wubian's arms and fell asleep again without realizing it.
There was a faint smile on her quiet little face, looking very satisfied.
As Xia Mingming fell asleep, the previous tenderness and sweetness gradually faded away. Yan Wubian gently hugged Xia Mingming's warm and soft body, but what he was thinking about was the scene outside the city that made his blood boil.
"Should I really go on like this?"
"Does everything in the past really have nothing to do with me?"
Yan Wubian knew clearly that since he had that feeling in his heart, he must have lived in that kind of life before, otherwise he would not have been nearly disabled.
He was naturally aware of Xia Mingming's tenderness, so why wasn't he himself the same?
But if he was with Xia Mingming, would he be willing to give up and pursue everything in the past?
When she was still lying in bed and unable to get off the ground, Yan Wubian just wanted to get better quickly. Even if her memory could not be revived, she still wanted to be able to move freely and share the burden on her shoulders for Xia Mingming.
But as the days passed and his body improved day by day, subconsciously, there was always some kind of energy guiding him to work hard in a certain direction.
He knew that if he followed the guidance of his subconscious mind, when the time was right, his memory might come back, and then he would be the complete Yan Wubian.
"Besides, the person who keeps calling me 'brother' in my dreams is something I can't let go of!"
Yan Wubian sighed slightly, having already made a decision in his heart. He looked at Xia Mingming in his arms again, his eyes even gentler.
After calming down and suppressing all his thoughts, Yan Wubian gently pulled away from his body and got off the bed alone.
The moment he left, Xia Mingming seemed to realize something, frowning and muttering something in a low voice.
But soon, after Yan Wubian covered her with the quilt, her brows relaxed again. She didn't know what she was dreaming about, but there were waves of soft laughter in her sleep.
"Sleep well, I hope you can always be so carefree and happy in the future."
After giving Xia Mingming a deep look, Yan Wubian turned around and left the room.
Just as he closed the door and was about to leave the yard, Yan Wubian was shocked to find that Xia Qiang was already standing behind him.
"Grandpa Xia, morning, morning!"
In fact, it was almost dusk now, and he didn't know whether it was because he was caught red-handed, but Yan Wubian seemed very embarrassed, and his speech was a little incoherent for a while.
Xia Qiang didn't say much, but looked at him with a meaningful look in his eyes, and then asked: "You're obviously not awake yet?"
"I'm awake, I just fell asleep again!" Yan Wubian didn't know how to explain it, so he could only follow Xia Qiang's words.
Xia Qiang nodded slightly and sighed: "This child has always been so strong. She should have been innocent and lively at this age, but because her parents passed away early, she has a heavy burden on her shoulders. I have always hoped that someone could share the burden for her. In this way
, no matter what happens, I can feel at ease."
I don't know if it was Yan Wubian's illusion, but after Xia Ling City was besieged by the monsters, Xia Qiang seemed to have aged dozens of years, and his mentality had also changed a lot.
What he meant was actually very obvious, that he hoped Yan Wubian could help him take care of his granddaughter.
However, Yan Wubian could not make any promise to him now, and chose to remain silent in response to his words.
Xia Qiang didn't force it. After being silent for a while, he asked, "Do you want to go out?"
Yan Wubian nodded and said, "I want to go to Jintian Commercial Bank to check the situation."
Xia Qiang also nodded and said nothing more. The scene seemed a bit dull for a moment.
Yan Wubian felt helpless, but he still urgently needed to know about the situation outside, so he said this and turned around to leave.
"Long You Qianshui, I thought that even if I couldn't restrain your heart, I would still be able to make you care about her and take good care of her for me, but I didn't expect that in the end it was still... alas!"
After Yan Wubian left, Xia Qiang muttered to himself and sighed softly.
From beginning to end, Yan Wubian never said anything, but as an old man, how could he not see the former's inner struggle.
From the look in Yan Wubian's eyes when he exited Xia Mingming's room, Xia Qiang had actually seen some clues, which was why he had just tested it, but the result was destined to disappoint him.
Yan Wubian was not aware of Xia Qiang's psychology. He just felt that Xia Qiang was a little abnormal just now.
After leaving Xia's house, Yan Wubian walked directly in the direction of Jintian Trading Company.
Today's Fairy City has become extremely depressed. Although under the control of the city lord's palace, a group of civilians no longer run around, but the atmosphere is still obvious under the panic.
These situations were beyond Yan Wubian's control, so he just sighed slightly and walked quickly towards Jintian Shang.
When he was still a short distance away from Jintian Trading Company, Yan Wubian suddenly stopped in his steps and stopped.
The moment he stopped walking, a middle-aged man walked out slowly around the corner.
His eyes were very sharp, and he carried boundless evil energy. As soon as he appeared, the strong smell of blood hit his nostrils. It was obvious that he had just come out of a bloody battle with monsters.
"Is it you?"
Yan Wubian glanced at the other party, his eyes were not twitching at all, but he glanced at the other party's waist inadvertently.
This middle-aged man was the same spiritual warrior who had previously bought his spiritual talisman at a high price at an auction, and later traded him a golden chicken foot for a hidden talisman at the treasure discussion meeting.
Wherever Yan Wubian's eyes could see, there was a small black bag hanging on his waist. A strange pattern was outlined with gold wire on the bag, which was similar to the formation of a talisman array, but it was somewhat different.
Yan Wubian just instinctively felt that the bag was not simple, so he took a second look at it, but had no other ideas.
The spirit warrior came to Yan Wubian, glanced at him, and said with some surprise: "I actually made a mistake."
He spoke without any beginning or end, but Yan Wubian knew what the other party was referring to. It seemed that it was because of the effect of the Spirit-Gathering Golden Talisman that Yan Wubian had a trace of spiritual power fluctuations on his body, which was discovered under the glance of the spiritual warrior.
He didn't explain too much about this, but asked: "Are you waiting for me here specifically?"
As soon as the other party appeared, he walked directly towards him, obviously not without purpose.
Sure enough, he didn't beat around the bush, he nodded directly and said: "I want that item back. As compensation for breach of contract, I am willing to pay double the price."
Yan Wubian was surprised. When the other party sold the golden chicken feet, he didn't care much about it. Could it be that he discovered the secret?
Thinking of this, Yan Wubian said calmly: "I have already given that thing away. Even if I am willing to give it to you, I can't get it back."
Although Xia Qiang has not yet figured out the usefulness of the pill inside, it is impossible to give it to someone just asking for it.
The spirit warrior obviously understood this, but he seemed to be in a hurry and did not talk nonsense to Yan Wubian. He directly threw out a card and said: "Here are 100,000 gold coins. You can swipe them at Jintian Trading Company."
Come out, and if you give me that thing, the money will be yours."
"What if I say no?" Yan Wubian let the card fall to the ground without even looking at it.
If the other party had talked to him in a gentler tone, Yan Wubian might have considered returning the golden chicken feet to him. Anyway, he had already got everything he deserved, and there was no point in keeping them.
But now the other party is so domineering, as if Yan Wubian will rob him if he doesn't agree, which also arouses Yan Wubian's anger.
Seeing Yan Wubian's attitude, the spirit warrior was also annoyed. He showed murderous intent and quickly swatted away with both palms.
