In the operating room, Long Xiruo began sweating profusely. It was difficult to concentrate because of the dazzling bright light.
But fortunately, there was a set of complete medical equipment which specifically designed for the monsters, as well as a large number of well-prepared drugs.
She never thought it would be so difficult to operate on a monster… She had this feeling when she was being trained and tried hard to be a true dragon during her youth.
As time went by, Long Xiruo weakly sat on the cold floor all of a sudden, leaning against the operating table and panting for breath.
“I… I did everything I could do!” Long Xiruo could not help laughing.
Even if this wound couldn’t recover immediately a day before, at least Xiaojiang would wake up one day after… but for now she could only keep Xiaojiang’s life.
In short, Xiaojiang wasn’t out of danger.
She even had to face the most frustrating results like some of the famous doctors of mankind—She tried her best, but finally she could only say sorry to the patient’s families saying that they could only depend on his will.
“Am I also so incompetent…”
Suddenly, she asked herself, “What kind of a real dragon guardian of the Godly Land am I?”
…
When the lights of the operating room closed, Cheese’s face became serious… The treatment time was so long that he felt incredible. It was almost dawn outside. It took a whole night!
“Master Long, Master Long?” Cheese asked urgently because the door didn’t open for a long time.
“Be quiet! I heard you! Xiaojiang didn’t die, do you want to kill him? Let him have a good rest. ”
“Sorry, I was too nervous…” Cheese quickly covered his mouth to stop talking.
Even if he was across the door.
“Can you tell me what’s the matter with Xiaojiang? Who did this? ” Long Xiruo suddenly asked in a deep but rather husky voice.
“It’s… It’s… ” Cheese hesitated for a moment and finally sighed, “It’s Wind-Chasing Wolf.”
“Wind-Chasing Wolf?” Long Xiruo frowned again, “Tell me about it in details. Listen, more details!”
Cheese dared not to hide anything, he subconsciously said, “During the day, Xiaojiang, Nini and I talked about Wind at where we usually play. Then they left and I went to find something to eat. And soon I came back, I saw Xiaojiang lying on the ground, and Wind’s hands were full of blood…”
“Except you, was anyone else there at that time?”
“Iron Whistle!” Cheese subconsciously said… But suddenly he had some regrets that he intuitively thought it wouldn’t be a good thing to tell Long Xiruo this.
“Iron Whistle… Who is he? ” Long Xiruo asked.
“Iron Whistle is my pet, I kept it recently.” Cheese said quickly.
A pet… a pet couldn’t hurt Xiaojiang— a second generation of a monster to such an extent.
Long Xiruo kept silent in the operating room for a long time, “That is to say, you didn’t see Wind do this with your own eyes, right?”
“I… I didn’t. ” Cheese answered, “But, Wind wanted to fight with Xiaojiang before… once. ”
“You saw him before? Why didn’t you tell me? ” Long Xiruo seriously asked.
Cheese lowered his head, “I… I thought I could have a good talk to him, but I didn’t expect… ”
“Well, let’s talk about it later.” Long Xiruo felt very tired… such physical output and mental fatigue had made her hardly able to open her eyes, “You can go back now, I will stay here and take care of Xiaojiang. And don’t bother me if there is anything special.”
“But Xiaojiang…”
“If he is all right, shall I keep him here and waste food?”
“Well… I see. ” Cheese nodded.
“Wait a minute, take one thing to Elysium Bar and give it to Gui Qianyi! ” Long Xiruo suddenly ordered this to Cheese with a loud voice.
…
…
Cheese came to this Elysium Bar for the first time… where only big monsters could come.
The gatekeeper Ghost Baby now stared at him with gloomy look… If it weren’t for the letter of Miss Long, maybe this gatekeeper would do something to him with the knife playing in his hand.
Cheese could not help shrinking his neck and dared not to look at him.
Gui Qianyi sat in the office; he suddenly asked after he opened the letter and read it for a while, “Are you Shu You’s child?”
“Mr. Gui, you… you knew my father? ”
“No. ” Gui Qianyi shook his head, “But I know this name… Ghost Baby, take him out and treat him well. ”
The last time, Su Zijun came here to ask about Shu You’s whereabouts, but until now, Gui Qianyi still couldn’t know what the relationship between Su Zijun and Shu You was, enemy or friend? But it wouldn’t be wrong to treat Shu You’s son well at this moment.
Ghost Baby did it without saying anything, but soon he came back, “Mr. Gui, I’ve treated him well, he may be indulging in the two female mouse monsters and forgetting about his home and duty.”
He is just a child…
Gui Qianyi looked at Ghost Baby strangely, ‘Is there anything wrong with his comprehension or my expression?’
“Forget it, let it be so.” Gui Qianyi was a lazy species and he had many things to do, so he shook his head, “Master Long gave an instruction, listen and make the arrangements.”
“Yes, Mr. Gui.”
Gui Qianyi seriously said, “Release an arrest warrant, let our men catch the minor, Wind-Chasing Wolf. But don’t let the public know, do this secretly. Be quick but don’t kill him, just catch him up. And… do not tell Sun Xiaosheng.”
“Yes, sir.”
Ghost Baby didn’t want to ask why, he just needed to do it.
Seeing Ghost Baby leave, Gui Qianyi squinted and burned the letter. He turned around the chair and sat down, closing his eyes… what had happened, for Long Xiruo to order him instead of doing this herself?
Of course, Gui Qianyi didn’t want to know the reason, he was just thinking about what benefits he would get from Long Xiruo.
“Since the princess came out, we have been getting estranged from Master Long… It’s time to improve our relationships.”
Gui Qianyi exhaled, “This official didn’t do well… A new year is coming. It’s February 2nd again, the dragon will wake up… ”
…
…
“… finally Cheese didn’t suspect you, so what do you feel?”
In the dim sewer, Iron Whistle heard the sound which could talk to him again— this time they had spoken to each other for a long time.
It pondered the question and then it replied, “I felt comfortable… What is it called? ”
“It’s called ‘uttering a sigh of relief.”
“Uttering a sigh of relief…” Iron Whistle nodded and asked, “But why did I feel this?”
After a moment of silence, it slowly said, “Because you were afraid.”
“Afraid?” Iron Whistle said this with obviously puzzled, “Why was I afraid?”
“You should think about it yourself. But in general, it’s caused by a fear of losing.”
“I don’t understand.” Iron Whistle shook his head as usual.
“Do you regret attacking Xiaojiang?”
“No.”
“Why?”
“I was hungry.”
“You will eat Cheese, won’t you?”
“Yes… I won’t eat him now, but I think it’s best to eat him when I can’t stand it.”
The sound disappeared.
Iron Whistle began to adapt to the sound’s coming and going, so it didn’t stay here. It missed the opportunity to eat Xiaojiang… then, eating something else?
There were lots of food in this sewer.
