Chapter 506 Secret Room
The dense rain of arrows, like a swarm of locusts, didn't last long. Soon after, the other two people still in the illusion were also abruptly ejected—yes, "ejected" out! As if they had powerful springs attached to their bodies, they were thrown out quickly in an extremely unnatural posture.
Xie Yuhua had been standing in front of Ling Xiao. When she saw something rushing towards them, she instinctively grabbed the arrow and used it to block it. The huge impact sent both of them flying.
With a loud bang, the two seemed to be sucked in by something, or perhaps they were slammed into a new barrier. Neither of them could quite tell how they got in. However, Xie Yuhua took the brunt of the impact, while the other person fell on top of Ling Xiao.
After everything had stabilized, Ling Xiao pretended to push away the confidante flower covering him.
After finally managing to pull his lover back into his arms, Xieyuhua was reluctant to let go. But seeing the child's wet eyes and trembling body, he had no choice but to release him, get up, help him up, and gently pat his back to comfort him, telling him not to be afraid.
"I'm not afraid, I'm just worried that it's not safe here. We need to check around together to see where everyone else is. We need to find a way out first."
"Do you have any lighting equipment?" Ling Xiao asked.
“Our backpacks have long been moved somewhere by the illusion, but luckily there are a few luminous pearls here, which can still help us see a little. I’ll go get them so we can have some light.” Xie Yuhua said as she went to get the luminous pearls.
"You...I'll go with you." Ling Xiao gripped Xie Yuhua's clothes tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force, his voice filled with unease.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Xie Yuhua stroked Ling Xiao's hair and kissed his forehead. Ling Xiao visibly trembled, and his hair was wet.
Feeling the sticky water flowing in her palm, Xie Yuhua's heart skipped a beat. She quickly pulled Ling Xiao to the vicinity of a luminous pearl, and upon closer inspection, she discovered that her hand was covered in blood.
He anxiously and carefully turned Ling Xiao around, and when he saw the back of Ling Xiao's head, his heart tightened!
"Why... didn't you say you were injured? Does it hurt?" Xie Yuhua quickly took off her middle layer of clothing and wrapped it around the back of Ling Xiao's head.
"It doesn't hurt, you know that. I just want to get out of here." Ling Xiao hugged Xie Yuhua tightly, tears welling up in his eyes like a burst dam, sliding down his cheeks.
He sobbed and muttered to himself, “I don’t know why I agreed to come out on this adventure with you. I don’t like it here at all. From the first second I opened my eyes, I felt disgusted. I don’t like you either, especially you. I hate seeing you, but I can’t bear to leave you. I’m so sad. I just want to get away from you. If I get away, that feeling will disappear. But unfortunately, I can only stay with you. I can’t get out of here by myself.”
I have no idea where this place is. I'm so scared. I want to go home.
My family must be waiting for me to come home... But, but I can't remember what they look like at all... I really hate being in this awful place, what should I do? What should I do!
Jieyuhua felt only sadness and a tightness in his chest. The children actually... rejected them. He finally understood where the strange feeling of being hot and cold in his interactions with the children came from. Of course, he was controlled in his interactions with them at the beginning, so how could he have completely accepted them?
"I'll get you out of here as soon as possible, you can trust me, okay?" Xie Yuhua coaxed him, and Ling Xiao nodded in agreement.
"Then, don't hate me, okay?" Xie Yuhua looked at Ling Xiao with expectant eyes. Ling Xiao had lost too much blood and was starting to feel nauseous. He was in a lot of pain and didn't think about anything anymore. He turned around and leaned against the wall.
