Chapter 293 Ajin is not a bad person
"Hmm...tying you up is too much trouble, and I have to keep an eye on you all," he muttered. "Maybe... I should just throw you into the sea! That would save me the trouble!"
He spoke casually, as if discussing how to deal with two bags of garbage.
Upon hearing this, Chi Miao couldn't help but let a very faint smile appear at the corner of his mouth.
Yuan Xiao smiled and reminded him, "He's a mermaid." She gestured to Chi Miao.
Ajin's gaze fell on Chi Miao again, this time looking at him more carefully, from Chi Miao's perfect face to his tall and slender figure, and then to his eyes that seemed to contain the mysteries of the deep sea even in the dim light.
He stared at it, somewhat lost in thought, and murmured, "It really does look like it... even more like it than in the painting..."
"On the painting?" Yuan Xiao keenly caught the word. "On what painting? Who painted it?"
Ah Jin seemed to realize she had said too much again, and immediately shut her mouth, glaring at Yuan Xiao: "Mind your own business! Anyway... anyway, throwing it into the sea won't work, let me think of something else..."
He scratched his messy hair in frustration, as if he was troubled by something.
Just then, from a distance, in the direction where the wasteland meets the snow line, came a faint, clear laugh, like the tinkling of silver bells, and the joyful shouts of a little girl.
"Ah Jin! Ah Jin! I'm back! Look what I brought back!"
The sound, carrying the unique joy and energy of a child, came from afar, penetrating the howling wind over the wasteland and reaching us clearly.
Yuan Xiao and Chi Miao's bodies jolted simultaneously!
It was a soft sound!
It's their daughter, Chi Qianqian!
Ajin's expression also changed. She first glanced in a panic in the direction from which the sound came, and then looked at Yuan Xiao and Chi Miao, who were tied up tightly. Her eyes flickered, as if she didn't know what to do for a moment.
Bound and tied up, Yuan Xiao and Chi Miao no longer cared about the ropes binding them or A Jin's threats.
Their eyes, fixed with excitement and anticipation, were fixed on the direction from which the sound came.
The Black Mamba, transformed from Yu Mo, also quietly emerged more of its body from the shadows, its cold, vertical pupils locking onto the point where the snow line met the wasteland.
A small figure dressed in a light blue dress came bounding and skipping from a distance, just like a happy little deer.
She seemed to be holding something in her hands, which glittered in the dim light.
As she drew closer, her features became clearer.
That delicate and adorable little face, inheriting the best features of her parents, was beaming with a pure and radiant smile, and her deep blue eyes were full of excitement.
If it's not Chi Qianqian, then who is it?
Without the slightest hesitation, the Black Mamba darted out of the bushes and quickly moved towards the shallows.
Almost at the same time, Ajin spotted Black Mamba and immediately picked up his spear and thrust it out.
Black Mamba deftly twisted away, but Ajin did not give up and quickly stabbed her a second time.
This kid practically wanted to kill Black Mamba; every move he made was aimed straight at his vitals.
At first, Qianqian was terrified, but then she realized what was happening and quickly told them to stop.
"Stop fighting! All of you, stop fighting! Please stop!"
But neither Ajin nor Yumo stopped fighting, and they continued to fight fiercely.
Qianqian: "Snake Daddy, stop hitting him! Ajin isn't a bad person!"
Black Mamba ignored him, believing that the innocent and kind-hearted Qianqian must have been blinded by this bad guy.
He was determined to subdue this guy and rescue Qianqian today.
Seeing the situation clearly, Snake Father was unlikely to let it go, so he had no choice but to try to persuade the other side.
Qianqian: "Ajin, stop hitting him! I know him! If you keep fighting like this, you'll really die!"
Upon hearing Qianqian say that she knew him, Ajin hesitated for a moment before stopping.
The Black Mamba's fangs almost pierced Ah Jin's neck.
Upon seeing Qianqian, Yu Mo transformed back into human form.
She glanced at Ajin and asked, "Are you injured?"
Ah Jin touched her neck, her face turning deathly pale with fright, but she pretended to be relaxed: "It's nothing, I'm not afraid of anything!"
Qianqian only then noticed Yuan Xiao and Chi Miao, and immediately rushed over to them.
Ajin instantly untied the seaweed rope, and Qianqian just happened to fall into their arms.
"Mom and Dad, I miss you so much..."
Yuan Xiao and Chi Miao hugged Qianqian tightly: "Let me see, are you alright?"
Seeing their daughter unharmed, and even with a slightly chubby face, Yuan Xiao and Chi Miao finally felt a sense of relief.
But one question remained in my mind.
How could Qianqian be with this little boy of unknown origin?
The two seem to have a pretty good relationship?
Yuan Xiao knelt down and gently stroked her daughter's soft hair, trying to keep her voice steady: "Qianqian, tell your mother, what exactly happened? How did you two... meet?"
Chi Qianqian raised her head, her big eyes blinking.
She glanced at Ajin beside her, whose face was tense and whose eyes were somewhat unfocused, then at her father and mother, whose faces were full of concern, and at her father, Yu Mo, who was standing beside her without saying a word but whose gaze was deep.
She pouted, still feeling a bit scared as she recalled that day's experience, but mostly she felt grateful to Ajin.
"It was Ah Jin who saved me!" Her voice was clear and straightforward, with the unique frankness of a child. "That night, I was sleeping in my room when I suddenly felt so stuffy and uncomfortable. When I woke up, I saw Uncle Chi Hong... no, it was that bad guy Chi Hong standing by my bed!"
He knocked me unconscious, kidnapped me, and then locked me up. The room was so dark, I was so scared.
Her little hands unconsciously gripped Yuan Xiao's clothes tightly: "But it was around that time that A Jin would occasionally come and talk to me, but I didn't dare stay too long for fear of being discovered. Then one day, A Jin suddenly jumped in through the window!"
Qianqian pointed to the short gun that Ajin had stuck in the ground: "He was holding that black stick, and he knocked Chi Hong unconscious in a few blows! Then Ajin grabbed me and jumped out of the window..."
Chi Miao and Yuan Xiao were terrified.
They knew Chi Hong's strength; he was no ordinary person. How could this young man have rescued someone from his clutches? And even managed to slip away from Chi Hong's territory with Qianqian?
Furthermore, he took Qianqian and slipped away from Tiger Lion City right under their noses, leaving them with no clues despite searching for so long.
Yu Mo's cold gaze swept over A Jin again, scrutinizing her.
This young man is indeed extraordinary.
Chi Qianqian continued, her tone gradually becoming lighter: "Ajin is amazing! After we finally escaped, Ajin said we should find a safe place to hide first."
She turned to Ajin, her eyes sparkling: "Ajin was originally going to send me back to Tiger Lion City, back to my mother's side. We even went back secretly, but after only one day, Ajin changed her mind."
