Chapter 408: Chapter 258: Expulsion and Heartbroken Young Woman_2
Translator: 549690339
As long as these dangers slightly affect the cactus.
Chen Sheng might not be able to save her in time.
Therefore,
Even though he doesn’t dislike the young woman in front of him.
But Chen Sheng,
Does not plan to accept her at this stage.
Swish!
As his words fell,
The cactus lifted her head and looked at Chen Sheng.
In the darkness.
Chen Sheng saw a layer of mist forming in the young woman’s eyes.
“Don’t you want me anymore?”
The cactus’s voice trembled, slightly choked with tears.
To say that Chen Sheng’s heart was not moved at all,
That would be a lie.
But he did not relent because of it.
“I helped you cure your genetic disease.”
“You helped me collect Heavenly Person Cells.”
“The two of us are already even, owing nothing to each other.”
“You don’t have to stay by my side.”
Chen Sheng did not express his unwillingness to put the cactus in danger.
Because such an argument would only make her more determined.
It’s better to treat the actions between them as a transaction.
“But didn’t you save my life yesterday?”
“So don’t I still owe you one, don’t I?”
The cactus spoke weakly.
“I won’t bother you.”
“I just want to stay by your side, okay?”
She gently hugged Chen Sheng.
Her cheek rubbed against his chest.
Her words,
Were full of pleading.
“We haven’t known each other for very long.”
“I do what I do for myself, and there’s no need for you to repay me.”
“Go.”
With that,
Just like yesterday,
Chen Sheng gently picked up the cactus and put her in front of him.
The young woman tried to struggle.
However,
Her strength was so small in front of Chen Sheng.
Without any hesitation,
The cactus was directly brought to the front.
“Go.”
Chen Sheng said again.
As soon as his words fell,
In the darkness,
The sound of the young woman’s sobbing rang out.
“I don’t have…anyone else.”
“You’re all I have.”
From a young age, cactus did not understand what family meant to her.
Her parents hated her.
At school, teachers and classmates also hated her.
At the orphanage, apart from Diamond, who needed her protection, no one else was willing to play with her.
When she left the orphanage,
Cactus either worked odd jobs or occasionally wandered the streets, often having to compete for food with other homeless people, or even stray cats and dogs.
She only protected others.
Protected younger beggars or weaker people and stray animals.
But she had never experienced the feeling of being protected.
Family,
For the cactus,
Was an unreachable existence.
Although Diamond was also good to her,
But Diamond had her own family.
Before she had her genetic disease, she already had a beautiful life.
Cactus did not want to disturb Diamond’s life too much.
Only with Chen Sheng,
Since he appeared,
For the first time, cactus felt what it was like to be protected by someone.
Having a sense of security, having someone to rely on, what it was like.
But now,
Chen Sheng’s words,
Once again made her heart collapse.
The cactus that had already disguised herself as if she didn’t care about anything,
Once again returned to her childhood.
Returned to the days when she curled up in the corner, crying as she watched her parents fight and blame each other every day and resent her existence.
To her parents, she was superfluous.
But she really didn’t want to be that extra one again.
Facing the young woman’s tearful plea for help,
Even Chen Sheng’s heart couldn’t help but tremble a little.
But as soon as he realized this,
Chen Sheng closed his eyes and suppressed the rising emotions once again.
When he opened his eyes again,
“Go.”
This was the third time Chen Sheng said these words.
Finally,
This time,
Cactus did not plead anymore.
She lowered her head and stood still for a while in that place.
“I understand.”
After a long time,
The faint voice sounded.
She reached into her chest.
In the pitch-dark darkness,
Cactus took two steps forward and gently placed the Xuanwu token in front of Chen Sheng.
She opened her mouth,
As if wanting to say something.
Eventually,
She chose to walk away.
After deciding to leave,
Cactus didn’t linger too long.
Soon,
Her figure disappeared at the cave entrance.
“Sigh”
Chen Sheng looked at the Xuanwu Token on the ground.
He rubbed his forehead and took a deep breath.
He hadn’t even mentioned the Xuanwu token, as he wanted Cactus to keep it to protect her in dangerous times.
This time it’s great.
This woman gave it to him herself.
After all, Chen Sheng was not a heartless person.
He didn’t want Cactus to be by his side, only because he didn’t want her to be in danger.
But he was worried about not giving some protection to a little girl who was alone outside.
With this in mind,
Chen Sheng raised his hand.
Next second,
Countless purple thunders leaped out of his body and surged towards Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei could not only absorb thunder but also store it to kill enemies.
Once upon a time, in the Sealed Land, Xiao Hei had shown off this ability.
It took more than a minute to transfer,
Only when Xiao Hei sent the signal “I’m full” did,
Chen Sheng stop.
Then,
He reached out his arm.
At the joints,
The black ring gradually separated and turned into a huge drop of water that fell to the ground.
This drop of water was half the size of Xiao Hei’s own body.
It was filled with the now-transmuted and more powerful purple thunder.
Combined with Xiao Hei’s own power,
Even if she were to face an enemy at the level of the Four Saints, it could protect the cactus’s life.
“Go.”
“Stay by her side, protect her, but don’t let her find out.”
“Bombard all those who try to threaten her.”
“Kill them all.”
