Chapter 1255 I Said That I Will Protect You!

Little Four didn’t answer her.

“Little Four?” Ling Lan got a little agitated when no one replied to her. Little Four had accompanied her ever since she was born. Thus, she was used to having him around.

Ling Lan shouted for Little Four frantically but he still didn’t appear.

‘Damn it. Where am I?’ Ling Lan got frustrated.

“Sister, I brought Wan’er to see you. She is your sister-in-law from now on.” The young man smiled as he pulled the hand of the young lady beside him.

The young lady smiled lovingly at the young man. Then, she said in a shy voice, “Sister Ling Lan, I will take care of Ling Lang. Don’t worry about him.”

“Yes. Ling Lan, Wan’er is a really nice girl. She treats our Langlang very well. I’m satisfied with my daughter-in-law. That is why I am bringing her here today. You don’t have to worry about your brother anymore.” The old woman smiled happily at the young lady. The sadness in her eyes diminished a little.

When Ling Lan heard ‘Sister Ling Lan’, forgotten memories suddenly flooded her mind.

‘Is this my past life? They were my parents and my younger brother. Is that my sister-in-law whom I never met?’ Ling Lan remembered everything.

“Are you doing well in the other world? Do you have people taking care of you? Your health is poor. If no one takes care of you, I’ll never be able to rest easy. Are you able to eat properly? We are really worried about you so your mother made your favourite dishes. Your sister-in-law helped too. Do eat more.” The old man sighed in a deflated tone.

“I’m doing very well now. I have two new parents in my new world. I’m their only child so they pour all their love on me. They do not let me suffer at all. If something happens to me, my father will take his knife, I mean, take his mecha and take revenge for me. Even if my father were to be rational, my mother will urge him to do it. They’re good parents,” Ling Lan said softly.

She seemed to be replying to her former parents but she was actually recalling her past. Her first life was filled with regrets but heaven paid her back in this life.

Ling Lan finally remembered the time that she ate fish soup and stir-fried chinese yam with black fungus. She hated them so she would frown whenever she ate them. She never expressed her dislike for the dishes but her mother noticed her disgusted expression. Thus, these two dishes never appeared on the dining table again.

There was no ice cream in her house too.

In her past life, her parents loved her too. However, this love was hidden behind endless pain and responsibilities they had to bear. Ling Lan knew they loved her younger brother more. This wasn’t because he was a male. It was because her younger brother had a future with them while she didn’t. They couldn’t afford to love her too much. They were scared of being hurt when she left the world.

Ling Lan understood the emotional burden her former parents had to bear. Everyone would protect themselves unconsciously. No one wanted to hurt themselves. If they loved her less, letting her go would be less painful for them.

She understood their rational actions but she still felt sad. She didn’t like those cheap dishes but she forced herself to eat them because she didn’t want her parents to waste more money on her. Yet, her parents never noticed the pain in her eyes.

When she didn’t finish her food, they never asked her why either.

Ling Lan was obedient but she was just a child. All she wanted was to be love. However, she didn’t know how to ask for love. As she grew older, she got used to the lack of affection her parents were giving her.

“I’m very happy in my new world. Really.” Ling Lan let out a pure genuine smile. The beautiful scenery around her paled in comparison to her smile.

“I have nothing to do with this life anymore. Father, mother, this is my last time calling you my parents. I hope you will have a happy and healthy life. I hope my younger brother will lead a good life with his wife. I have to return to my world now. I belonged there, not here.” Ling Lan’s smile was enchanting.

She lifted her finger and slit the air in front of her. “Break!”

The scenery around her exploded. Ling Lan felt a stabbing pain.

“Ling Lan, are you alright?” Number Three asked anxiously. Ling Lan’s consciousness disappeared from her mindscape just now. Number Three thought that something happened to her.

“I’m fine.” Ling Lan’s voice was hoarse.

Number Three wanted to reply to her but he suddenly sensed danger. “Damn it!”

Ling Lan was already on the verge of collapsing. However, Lord Jindao had shortened the distance between them.

Lord Jindao was already treating Ling Lan as a god-class operator so after launching his ultimate god-class technique, he followed it up with another attack. He must have predicted Number Three’s movement because the attack was aimed at Number Three’s current position.

No, that wasn’t right. It was more accurate to say that no matter where Number Three went, he wouldn’t be able to dodge Lord Jindao’s following attack.

Number Three gritted his teeth as he moved Ling Lan’s bloodied fingers again. If one’s eyesight was good enough, one would see the white bones protruding out of the tips of her fingers

Number Three had reached his limit. He knew he couldn’t evade the attack. He could only protect the cockpit from being damaged.

He didn’t know how powerful this attack was. Would the residual force be strong enough to destroy the cockpit even if it wasn’t hit directly?

Suddenly, a mecha appeared in front of her.

“Li Lanfeng!” Ling Lan widened her eyes in shock. She didn’t know what else she could say.

“I said I’ll protect you.” Li Lanfeng smiled. A huge beam shield appeared from his arm.

“Boss!” Luo Lang and Xie Yi frantically fired at the huge homing light ray. They hoped that they would be able to dissipate some of its energy.

Bang! Another white beam cut through the universe and blocked Lord Jindao’s attack.
