Chapter 144: I’ll Watch Your Back
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Ying had already knelt down and opened her arms to welcome her precious little ones.
The two little ones immediately threw themselves into her arms.
“Mother, Mother, Mother!” The older toddler Ji hugged Su Ying’s neck tightly, and as he called out to her repeatedly, he started sobbing.
“Mother, where did you go? Big Brother and I miss you so much. Boo hoo hoo…” The younger toddler Ling pouted her tiny mouth and began crying.
Su Ying’s heart ached terribly when she saw their pitiful expressions. “Be good, be good. Mother was trapped in the wildfire and couldn’t rush back quickly. Now Mother is back. Don’t cry, don’t cry.”
For the past two to three days, everyone had been trying to put out the fire on the slope and looking for Su Ying. Almost no one had a good rest, including the two children.
Little children were very sensitive. Even if they didn’t know what was going on, they could sense everyone’s anxious emotions and naturally became anxious as well.
Now that Su Ying had returned, their tensed-up nerves slowly relaxed. They cried for a while before falling asleep in Su Ying’s arms.
Su Ying carefully carried them back to their room. The little ones were genuinely exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.
Aunt Zhao and the others went to the backyard to get water and wash up.
Lin Zhuyu, whose eyes were swollen, brought a basin of water into Su Ying’s room. “Mistress, you… you should quickly come and wash up.”
“Alright. Don’t worry about me. You go and wash up first and then go to the hall later. I’ll take a look at your eyes.”
“Mistress, I’m fine.”
“Just go when I tell you to.”
“Alright.”
Su Ying wrung a handkerchief dry and wiped the black soot off her face. When she wiped her lips, she suddenly thought inexplicably of that moment when Xiao Jin planted his lips on her.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, she turned around and saw Xiao Jin standing behind her without a word.
Su Ying raised her eyebrows. “What are you doing standing there? ”
Xiao Jin took the handkerchief from her hand and wiped the grime off her forehead. “You don’t have a mirror. I’ll help you.”
Su Ying wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h the handkerchief back, but he evaded her hand.
Only then did Su Ying realize that this was the first time Xiao Jin stood directly in front of her. She knew he was tall, but she didn’t expect him to be this tall. When she stood in front of him, her head probably only reached his shoulders. He stood in front of her with his broad shoulders and wide back like a mountain, and even the light outside the door was blocked by his figure.
Fine. Since he wanted to serve her, she would just enjoy his service.
“I’ll take a look at your legs later.”
“Mm-hmm.”
After Xiao Jin finished wiping her, he washed the handkerchief and put it in her hand.
Su Ying was puzzled. “What? Haven’t you wiped my face clean?”
Xiao Jin looked at her. “I don’t have a mirror. You help me wipe.”
Su Ying was about to reject him, but she remembered that he had helped her wipe her face too. She then wiped his face quickly and brusquely.
Xiao Jin was utterly speechless.
By the time she wiped all the grime off Xiao Jin’s face, his entire face was reddish.
“Alright. I’m going to rest for a while. I’m so tired.”
Su Ying took off her dress and threw it aside. She then flopped down beside the twins.
Although she had been staying in her interspatial store for the past two days, she didn’t rest. She had been giving medical treatment to the people she had saved, and she only took a nap every once in a while. Now, she just wanted to have a good sleep.
Xiao Jin saw the fatigue on her face, and a hint of heartache flashed across his eyes. “You sleep for a while then.”
“Mm-hmm. Wake me up after Aunt Zhao and the others have cleaned up so I can give them a health check,” Su Ying yawned, turned to her side, and fell asleep with the twins in her arms.
“Mm-hmm.”
Xiao Jin listened to her even breathing and leaned forward to pull the blanket over her. He didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he sat quietly by the bed and watched her sleep.
When Su Ying slept, her eyebrows were exceptionally relaxed and peaceful. It seemed that she had always been like this. No matter what happened, she would not fret over anything too much when she slept, so her eyebrows were always relaxed every time she slept.
“Su Ying, you’ve protected me all this time. From now on, I’ll watch your back.” Xiao Jin lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead.
Little Lin Sheng, who had just walked past the door, covered his eyes shyly when he saw the scene in the room.
Xiao Jin raised his head to look at him and slowly shook his head.
Lin Sheng covered his mouth and scampered away with a grin.
Su Ying was like a stabilizing force. Her return made everyone’s hearts feel at ease.
Even though Uncle Hea was exhausted, he still lit a fire and prepared to cook a good meal for everyone to celebrate.
However, before the porridge in his pot was ready, there was urgent knocking on the gate in the courtyard.
“Madam Su, Madam Su, help!”
w.a.n.g Su heard the commotion and ran to open the gate. Thud! A man who was covered in blood collapsed to the ground.
w.a.n.g Su recognized this man. He often accompanied Tiger Might by his side. “What happened to you?”
The person’s face was covered in blood. He opened his eyes strenuously and said, “The Azure Dragon Base… the Azure Dragon Base launched an attack on us. They want to… want to fight our Tiger Base to the death… Our Leader… Leader…” Before he could finish speaking, he stopped breathing.
w.a.n.g Su helped the person up. When he turned around, he saw Xiao Jin standing outside the door with a grim face. “Master…”
Xiao Jin’s dark eyes were sinister, and his body was surrounded by a palpable killing intent. “Gather all of our people and charge to that place with me.”
Jiang Yang walked over and looked at Xiao Jin in a daze. He couldn’t remember how long it had been since he last saw Xiao Jin like this. He felt that His Highness had returned to his original battlefield condition!
“Tell Number One and the others to come back immediately.”
“Yes, Sir.”
“The two of you ride your horses and follow me there first.”
Jiang Yang and w.a.n.g Su acknowledged his order.
The three of them mounted their horses and charged toward Tiger Base.
The Azure Dragon Base had concentrated all their forces on attacking the Tiger Base, and the Tiger Base was finding it very hard to repel them. In addition, most of the people from the Tiger Base had been putting out the fire for the past two days and had not been able to rest well. Now that they had returned, they thought that they could relax, but to their dismay, they had to throw themselves back into battle again.
From the beginning, everyone’s momentum was weak. They kept getting defeated by the Azure Dragon Base’s people.
The Tiger Base’s whole defense depended solely on Tiger Might. There was no way they could defeat the Azure Dragon Base in this way!
When he saw that the Azure Dragon Base was about to break through the warehouse door, Tiger Might roared and pounced at them.
Yu Tong gave a scornful sneer as he spurred his horse forward to stop Tiger Might.
This time, they had brought six commanders to attack the Tiger Base. In their eyes, without Su Ying around, six people was more than enough to take down the Tiger Base.
Tiger Might was immediately caught up in a fierce battle with Yu Tong and the others.
He looked at the warehouse door that had been knocked open and was very furious.
“d.a.m.n you piece of s.h.i.+t. I’m going to fight you guys to the death today!”
Yu Tong retreated to the back and circled around to the back of Tiger Might. Then, he activated the concealed weapon in his sleeve and shot it at Tiger Might.
Tiger Might was busy dealing with the opponents in front of him and had no time to take care of the person behind him. The concealed weapon flew toward his heart with a murderous momentum..
