Chapter 294: I’m Leaving
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Huanhuan remained silent.
The system continued, “I don’t deny that I’m using you, but I really want to protect you. After all, I’m your father.”
The joke that had worked every time in the past no longer made Huanhuan smile.
She wrapped the blanket around herself and said sullenly, “I don’t want a father like you.”
The system froze.
!!
“Do you really not want me anymore?”
Huanhuan pulled the blanket over her head and covered her face, ignoring the system.
When there was no answer for a long time, the system could only sigh in disappointment. “I’m sorry.”
Other than these two words, it really didn’t know what to say.
Huanhuan hid under the blanket and didn’t say a word. She was in a terrible mood.
She didn’t know when she fell asleep.
In her daze, she vaguely heard someone whisper in her ear.
“I’m leaving.”
When Huanhuan woke up, it was already the next morning.
She recalled what had happened last night and the words she had heard in her half-asleep state. Only then did she realize that it was the system’s voice!
‘Had Little Eight left? Where was he going?’
Huanhuan was very anxious. She hurriedly sat up and called the system.
“Little Brat!
“Daddy System~
“System 438?”
No matter how hard Huanhuan called, she received no response.
It was as if the system had really left.
Huanhuan couldn’t believe it.
Although she was angry at being used, she only wanted to bicker with Little Eight for a few days. She had no intention of really chasing it away.
Ever since she transmigrated, Little Brat had been by her side. Whether it was when she was in danger, when she was uncomfortable, or when she was lonely and helpless, it had always been by her side.
She also thought it would stay with her forever, accompanying her to the end of her life.
But now, Little Brat was gone.
It left without any hesitation.
Because of Little Brat’s sudden departure, Huanhuan was depressed all day. Everyone in the family could tell that she was in a bad mood. They asked her what had happened, but she refused to say.
Everyone tried to make her happy, but she didn’t react. She was shrouded in a dark cloud.
Outside, the rain had stopped. The sun climbed back into the sky.
After counting, in the battle to resist the beast tide, a total of 17 male beasts died. 10 of them were wolf beasts, and the other seven were beasts from other tribes.
Shuang Yun had already distributed the compensation to their families and cremated the corpses of the beasts. They were buried in the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain.
In addition, more than 50 beasts had suffered varying degrees of injuries. Dong Ya had already helped them apply medicine with a group of rabbit beasts. Coupled with the blood that Huanhuan had contributed, the injured quickly healed.
Compared to the Rock Wolf Tribe, the beast soldiers in the camp by the Black River were much more miserable.
The corpses of the beast soldiers who died on the battlefield were all buried. There were also many injured beast soldiers who could not be treated in time. Coupled with the harsh environment of the camp and the serious infection of their wounds, a large number of them died one after another.
Xuan Wei told He Guang about this and asked him to send someone back to the beast city to get some medicine as soon as possible. It would be best if he could get a few divine envoys to help.
However, although He Guang said that, he did not care too much about this.
How could one not die in battle? As long as they were on the battlefield, they had to be prepared to lose their lives.
When He Guang realized that there were fewer and fewer beast soldiers in the camp, he asked someone to count the number of people. Only then did he realize that only 200 beast soldiers were left from the 500-odd beast soldiers he had brought from the beast city. Half of them were injured.
If they did not receive treatment soon, half of the injured soldiers would die.
To make matters worse, some of the corpses that had not been buried in time after death had rotted, causing disease to spread. Now, four beast soldiers had been infected.
The aura of death enveloped the camp. All the beast soldiers looked listless and empty. Clearly, they had no hope for the future.
They were going to die anyway, so they might as well die now.
At this point, He Guang no longer dared to underestimate the problem of the injured beast soldiers.
At this moment, returning to the temple to get reinforcements was clearly not enough. He could only think of another way.
He Guang asked Xuan Wei to help think of a solution.
Xuan Wei asked, “Back then, I asked Your Highness to send someone back to the beast city to ask the temple for help. Are there no envoys willing to come?”
He Guang was a little embarra.s.sed. “I didn’t send anyone.”
Xuan Wei looked at him steadily for a while. He did not ask why He Guang did not send anyone. However, the expression in her eyes became colder.
“Your Highness, you want to be king, but you don’t care about your people. Do you think you’re worthy of the throne?”
He Guang was speechless, and his expression became even more awkward.
If anyone else questioned him like this, he would definitely be angry. However, Xuan Wei’s strength was obvious to all. He did not dare to offend him easily. Moreover, he was indeed at fault in this matter. Even if he wanted to refute, he did not have the confidence.
He was silent for a moment, then finally lowered his head. “I’m sorry. I was wrong this time.”
As a member of the royal family, He Guang had the innate arrogance of a member of the royal family. He had never lowered his head to anyone.
This was the first time he had lowered his head and admitted his mistake since he became an adult.
Xuan Wei said, “You should apologize to the dead warriors.”
“I’ll try to make up for my mistakes.”
Xuan Wei did not say anything else and turned to walk out. He Guang quickly stopped him. “Where are you going?”
“I’ll think of a way to save our people.”
Xuan Wei walked out of the camp without looking back.
When he arrived at the rock mountain, Big Goody was dancing with her three younger brothers. The four underaged Silvery Frost White Wolves were already very tall, and their snow-white fur was extremely beautiful.
They bounced around on the gra.s.s. The gra.s.s skirts at their waists swayed with their movements, and their fluffy big tails wagged with them. They looked extremely comical.
The surrounding females were all laughing happily. Only Huanhuan remained expressionless.
Mu Xiang hugged Huanhuan’s shoulder and advised helplessly, “The children are trying their best to make you happy. At least smile.”
The corners of Huanhuan’s mouth twitched as she tried to smile.
Mu Xiang looked at her steadily for a moment, then said seriously, “Your smile is uglier than your crying face.”
Huanhuan returned to her expressionless self.
When she saw Xuan Wei, she immediately stood up and walked over.
Seeing this, Big Goody, who was dancing, quickly stopped and followed with her three brothers.
They had to stay close to protect her.
Huanhuan asked, “Why are you here?”
Xuan Wei was very tall to begin with. Coupled with the metal armor on his body, he looked down at the little female in front of him and said, “I’m here to ask you for a favor.”
“What favor?”
