Nalan Dai’er looked up and stared hard at Zhang Tianlei.
‘Yes, it’s not my fault. It’s these people who are at fault…’
“Housekeeper…” Tianya’s face was cold. “Torture him to death and inform me when he dies. I will take Dai’er to Tian Feng City, and those who have hurt her in the Zhang family will pay the same price as him!”
“Yes, General,” the housekeeper replied respectfully.
Zhang Tianlei’s gaze was filled with despair; his heart was so oppressed that he could not utter another word…
***
Nalan Jing felt like he had a long dream.
In this dream, he saw a young girl smile at him.
It then became a memory that he could never erase… Perhaps, he and she had a connection that could never be severed.
She was also the person he could never let go of in this world.
“Brother Nalan…”
A clear voice called out to him that sounded close to his ears.
“Xiao Qing, why hasn’t Brother Nalan woken up yet…”
He could hear her sobbing quietly, and his heart ached for her.
Cold tears fell upon his hands and seemingly into his heart…
He wanted to open his eyes and raise his hand to wipe away her tears, but he had no strength to do so…
Then came another familiar voice.
“He will wake up soon. Xiao Yin, you stay here with him. I’ll come back later.”
After saying these words, the voice traveled further away and gradually disappeared.
Nalan Jing felt that only the young girl was left alone in the room.
The young girl’s hand was warm, holding his big hand. “Mother was injured to save me. She has not woken up until now… Brother Nalan, you once said that you wanted to protect me. There are so many evil people in Land of No Return. They want to kill me…
“Oh, they also said they want to catch me to turn me into their slave. I don’t know what they will do to me, but it sounds a little scary. Brother Nalan, those bad people will take me away if you don’t wake up and protect me.”

His breath grew heavier. The young girl’s words were like a hand; fiercely pinching his heart.
Perhaps it was the anxiety and anger in his heart that made him suddenly open his eyes.
His voice was dry and hoarse but filled with determination.
“I won’t let you go.”
A small face with a bright smile reflected before his eyes.
Tang Yin jumped into Nalan Jing’s arms, holding him so hard that he almost spurted blood.
Tang Yin did not notice that she had caused secondary injury to Nalan Jing. She stared at him, unblinking. “Brother Nalan, how are you doing? Does your body still hurt?”
Nalan Jing was a little breathless. However, looking at the young girl’s smile, he could not say that and smiled back at her after all.
“I’m fine.”
The man raised his hand and brushed away the tears at the corner of her eyes with his fingers. “Don’t cry…”
