Chapter 3048: Chapter 3049: He Wants His Heart

"Not so good, I’m very tired." Xiaoxiao’s voice was so weak that Bai Ruozhu almost couldn’t hear it.

"How could this happen? Did Ning Ran do something to you?" Bai Ruozhu hurriedly asked.

"He wants my heart and used a curse technique on me. I’m too weak to resist, I fear he might succeed." Xiaoxiao said, frustrated.

Bai Ruozhu’s expression changed dramatically. Ao Song, crouching beside her, asked, "How is it? What did it say?"

"He said he was cursed, feeling very tired, and unable to resist. Ning Ran wants to take his heart." Bai Ruozhu stared at Ao Song, "What does his heart represent? Why does Ning Ran insist on getting it?"

"The Zhong Family seal is his heart, but how could Ning Ran possibly find it? Even my father and the others couldn’t locate it precisely; only the Zhong ancestors knew when they sealed it. Ning Ran can’t possibly find it." Ao Song said, agitated.

Bai Ruozhu quietly exhaled a breath of relief. Ning Ran indeed hadn’t succeeded, but what if he came again?

"Ao Song, never mind the misunderstandings your family has about me, quickly go and tell them to strengthen their defenses. Ning Ran must not take Xiaoxiao’s heart."

She doesn’t care about the Zhong Family, nor Ning Ran, she only cares about poor Xiaoxiao. If Ning Ran succeeds, would Xiaoxiao die?

She hurriedly expressed her concern, but Xiaoxiao said, "I don’t know either. Probably a new Taisui will emerge, and I wouldn’t exist anymore."

He chuckled lightly, sounding relaxed, but there was a sense of melancholy in that laughter.

"Perhaps it’s a kind of release for me. I’ve been in darkness for so many years that I’ve lost track of how long it’s been. It’s really cold and lonely, I’m tired as well."

Bai Ruozhu’s mind conjured the image of a little bun, feeling so sad she almost shed tears. Her voice was somewhat choked as she said, "Don’t give up. I’ll find a way to save you, you won’t be alone in the darkness forever."

"I’ve been sealed by the Zhong Family, and cannot go anywhere. This is my destiny, and perhaps I’m at the end of my road." His voice grew fainter, eventually inaudible.

"Xiaoxiao! Xiaoxiao!" Bai Ruozhu anxiously called out to him, but alas, she couldn’t hear his response again.

She didn’t know if he was exhausted and asleep or had shut himself off, no longer wanting to talk to Bai Ruozhu.

"Mom, he’s so pitiful, we must help him." Little Dengdeng’s eyes turned red, hugging Bai Ruozhu’s arm.

Bai Ruozhu patted her son’s head, pulling herself together, "We will, Dengdeng and Mom will try hard together."

"Yes, we’ll bring him home, he’ll be my brother from now on." Little Dengdeng said earnestly.

Bai Ruozhu suddenly chuckled, "Why a brother? He’s older than you."

"I’ll take care of him, so I’m the brother." Little Dengdeng said with determination.

Bai Ruozhu patted his head, feeling he was very responsible, smart, and kind. Being able to have such a good son was truly her past life’s fortune.

"Sister Ruozhu, I’ll go talk to my dad now." Ao Song stood up and said.

"Don’t tell them that Xiaoxiao came to talk to me, knowing that would only cause trouble." Bai Ruozhu stopped her, "Forget it, go find your mom, let her remind them, just say it’s her own concern, you don’t need to come forward."

"Okay." Ao Song started walking out, but came to a halt, turned back and said, "Sister Ruozhu, I’m sorry."

Bai Ruozhu gave her a reproachful look, "Apologizing again would make us distant."
