You are my wife, don't doubt it!

Very similar.

Xiao Yao struggled to get up and stumbled towards the direction where Shen Jie's voice seemed to come from.

The boy was sure he was close.

His whole body ached, and he felt as if he was covered with all kinds of internal and external injuries. He didn't know whether it was because Grandpa Yu had failed to make him fully healed, or if Yu Luying had just suffered new injuries.

It feels like it's probably a bit of both.

Xiao Yao ran into the kitchen and examined the fallen iron door of the ice storage and the pile of nun's clothes on the ground.

Is this the sister Peng who taught the big class and stayed here?

Why are you in the kitchen?

Xiao Yao squatted down and pinched the sticky black liquid on the ground with his fingers.

It's a bit like blood, but it's black. Is it... asphalt? It feels a bit like oil.

Xiao Yao put the unknown liquid to his nose and smelled it.

The boy heard the girls' shouting and yelling again and chased after them out of the kitchen.

He could hear the sound of the ice and fire spells exploding, mixed with the meowing of a kitten.

Cat abuse... ?

Seriously, what are these two doing?

Ah, yes, since that guy can transform into anyone at will, it’s not surprising that he can transform into a cat.

Damn it...

She fooled me twice in one day!

It's the fixed mindset that's causing the problem again.

After figuring this out, Xiao Yao once again fell into self-blame and regret.

However, now is not the time to do this.

Xiao Yao heard the shrill screams of a wild cat, followed by the sound of a large group of... birds? The flapping of their wings.

The flashlight went out.

What are you doing… ?

Probably the power is out.

Really, at this time...

Xiao Yao reached into his trouser pocket to take out his cell phone, but his armored hand touched the hard armor pants.

Damn you...

Xiao Yao shook his head, shook his body, concentrated his attention, and tried to restore his original form.

...and it failed.

What’s going on? Is there a bug?

There was a roar of a locomotive turbine in the distance. Xiao Yao was in the dark - in the pitch-black, green darkness. He held his arms flat in front of his chest and moved out in small steps in the direction where the sound came from.

In addition to the sound of the motorcycle, he also heard the low roar of the shadows.

The knight, who was eager to rush to help, seemed to have kicked something hard, and a sharp pain came from his toes.

No, that's not between the toes, that's the calf.

It is the right side of the right leg.

A huge pressure hit his right calf hard, and the severe pain made it almost unbearable.

At that moment, he seemed to hear a crisp sound, like the sound of bones being crushed, harsh and terrible.

His body tilted forward uncontrollably, he lost his balance, and then fell heavily to the ground - no, he fell to the ground, like "falling to the ground".

The boy's chin hit something hard. At the moment of falling to the ground, he seemed to hear his own scream, but the sound seemed to be far away.

Xiao Yao's consciousness fell into chaos. The pain made it almost impossible for him to think. He could only feel the severe pain spreading from his calves throughout his body, as if countless needles were pricking his nerves.

After a while, Xiao Yao finally regained a little consciousness. He found himself lying on the ground, breathing rapidly, with sweat on his forehead.

He tried to move his right calf, but the severe pain made it almost impossible for him to move.

The boy's lips trembled, his heartbeat accelerated, and he felt as if he was destroyed by some ruthless force.

In pain, he finally began to slowly understand what was happening.

Yu Luying seemed to have been run over by something heavy, and her right calf may have been seriously injured or even fractured.

This violent blow made it impossible for him to remain calm, and an unprecedented fear surged in his heart.

Xiao Yao's eyes were slightly red. He tried his best to suppress the pain and tried to keep himself awake.

The boy knew that he had to save Yu Luying, but he couldn't move at the moment.

In the darkness, he felt as if he was immersed in a bottomless abyss, not knowing what was waiting for him ahead.

No, it cannot be done.

I can't allow despair and helplessness to envelop me.

……

When Xiao Yao crawled out of the door of the Saint Ai Hotel - he really crawled out, the lining of his armor was completely soaked with sweat.

The moonlight cast by the black moon made him feel as if his eyes were suddenly clear.

We must...save...them both...

Xiao Yao felt something awakening in his heart.

Then he saw a horse appear out of nowhere in front of him.

This is a skinny, tired-looking gray horse. Its hair is messy and disordered, and it is obvious that it has not been properly cared for for a long time. The old horse's neck is slightly bent and drooping, as if it is carrying endless fatigue and loss - its eyes are dull and lifeless, revealing a sense of fatigue from a long battle.

The old horse's limbs were thin and without any muscle lines, and it seemed that it might collapse at any time. Its hooves were badly worn, so its steps seemed to be stumbling, as if it might fall at any time.

Xiao Yao: "..."

Although I know very well that the character of this horse is consistent with the description in Cervantes' original work "Don Quixote", but... it's okay if it's not handsome, but is this character acceptable?

Xiao Yao muttered secretly in his heart.

But at least all four of its legs are not broken, so there is always room for improvement.

Don Quixote's loyal old horse "Rocinante" (which means "former bad horse" in Spanish) walked to Xiao Yao in small steps and nudged Xiao Yao's neck with its panting nose.

Comrade Nuxiandan, how can I get to the top with my behavior? Xiao Yao thought silently in his heart.

As if he had heard the young man's thoughts, the old horse slowly lay down.

Hey - so good! What a good horse! Xiao Yao cheered secretly in his heart.

After finally sitting firmly on the horse's back, Xiao Yao gripped the reins tightly, but he still felt his whole body was crooked.

After all, he could only hold the stirrup on one side.

Can he really fight like this? Xiao Yao thought pessimistically.

The roar of the locomotive had stopped, but Xiao Yao remembered that before it disappeared, it came from the Our Lady of Mount.

The so-called Our Lady Hill is actually a small rockery with a large statue of the Virgin Mary enshrined in the central cave. Many churches have this statue in their courtyards, and the owner of the Saint Love Hotel also built one for himself next to the hotel.

Ronin was limping along on one leg towards the direction of Our Lady of Mount, with a knight sitting on it, looking crooked. This combination did not seem very confident.

Halfway through the short journey, Xiao Yao nearly fell off his horse. He had no choice but to hug Nuxian's neck tightly and adjust his sitting position.

Xiao Yao heard the roar of the turbines and the howling of shadows coming from the Holy Mother Mountain again. He pulled the reins weakly to urge Rocinante to come on.

Rocinante increased his speed and rushed to the edge of the Our Lady of Mount.

Xiao Yao saw five or six shadows two or three meters tall, and the motorcycle girl he met in Song Haijian's hall that day.

What's her name, Joan? I seem to have heard Bogo say that this is a fictitious name of a so-called female pope, and is one of the symbols of Anti-Christ.

But he didn't have time to think about these things, because the scene in front of him made Xiao Yao's heart tighten.

A pumpkin carriage fell to the ground, its shell severely damaged, its smooth surface now cracked, obviously it had experienced a violent impact. Some places had completely broken apart, revealing the messy wooden frame and broken padding inside. The wheels of the pumpkin carriage were twisted beyond recognition, and it was almost impossible to recognize that they were once complete wheels. The incomplete carriage boards were scattered on the ground in a mess.

Xiao Yao realized that he almost fell off his horse for no reason just now, probably because of Yu Luying's accident.

Among the broken wreckage of the carriage, the horses pulling the carriage were also hit hard. They either fell to the ground or limped, with obvious scratches and bruises on their bodies. Among them, a young girl in a sports suit and sports pants was lying on the ground, as if she had lost all her strength. One of her sneakers was missing, and her trouser legs were stained with bright red blood, which spread to her white cotton socks.

The girl's body was shaking on the ground, and she was still struggling to stand up.

Another petite girl, wrapped in a tattered red cloak and barefoot, was sitting on the ground.

Her black dress was revealed from the torn cloak, and her fair and rosy skin could be seen through the burnt holes in the dress.

Although she was seriously injured, she sat on the ground without flinching, with her arms outstretched, trying to use her body to protect the girl in sportswear.

There was a firmness in her eyes, as if she was telling Joan, "If you want to kill Yu Luying, just run over my body."

Xiao Yao squeezed the belly of the monkey and signaled it to rush forward so that he could stab Joan from behind.

The roguish beast remained motionless.

"What? You can't sneak attack? This is something that damages the honor of a knight?" Xiao Yao slightly turned sideways, as if talking to an invisible person: "Pedant, what the hell is it?"

……

"Okay, okay, you're the boss."

Xiao Yao had no choice but to confront Qiong An head-on.

"Oh Yi——!" Xiao Yao shouted.

At the same time, Joan did not choose to drive the motorcycle over and kill both of them. Instead, she used the whip in her hand to wrap around Shen Jie's body and threw her high into the air.

Shen Jie drew a high parabola in the low sky, fell headfirst at high speed, and crashed directly into the rocks of Our Lady Mountain!

Nucinana finally moved on his own, while Xiao Yao sheathed his sword and opened his arms.

Shen Jie fell into Xiao Yao's arms - thanks to him calculating the angle in advance and stepping on one stirrup tightly, he did not fall off the horse.

"Hey," Xiao Yao lifted his visor and said to the girl in his arms, "It's okay, it's okay."

Shen Jie smiled at him.

Then he passed out.

Joan did not attack Xiao Yao when he put Shen Jie down from the horse (due to his limited ability, it was more like throwing away the horse). She waited until he was done, then she pulled off a black leather glove and threw it far away in front of the hooves of the horse with her fair jade hand.

Xiao Yao turned his horse around, bent down with difficulty, picked up the leather glove with the tip of his sword, and nodded to her as a greeting.

Joan turned the locomotive around and slowly drove away.

Xiao Yao: “?”

Just when he was unsure whether he should follow.

Joan had stopped the car and turned it around again.

Then, he shifted into third gear, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and sprinted straight towards him.

There were even two colorful flames produced by liquid nitrogen thrusters shooting out from behind her body.

"Your mother, that's outrageous." Xiao Yao rushed forward.

Chapter 319: Love and Desire

2023-09-05

Qiong An did not sneak attack Xiao Yao, but gave him a chance for a seemingly fair fight.

This is good.

The remaining half of the giant shadow stopped moving and seemed to be looking over here with interest.

Yu Luying finally managed to get up and looked at the duel with a confused look on her face.

Of course, we all know that fairness is relative and absolute fairness does not exist.

Riding a motorcycle against someone on horseback may sound outrageous at first, but Xiao Yao thinks it is actually not that bad.
