Chapter 359 Jade and Stone Connect Love, Li Meng Protects Her

Xiaoman looked at her reddened eyes, completely unaware of what had happened.

Li Meng did not answer his question.

Instead, she reached out with trembling hands and lifted the torn patch on his shirt.

The half-piece of jade on her chest was conspicuously exposed to the moonlight, the jade gleaming softly in the moonlight.

Li Meng gently held the jade stone in her hand, and tears suddenly slid down her cheeks.

Her eyes were incredibly complex, filled with surprise and disbelief.

In the end, he kept his eyes fixed on the jade in his hand.

It was as if I was afraid that everything before me was a dream.

Xiaoman felt a little flustered by her gaze and subconsciously asked, "Limeng, do you want this jade?"

"Little brother..." Li Meng murmured to herself, her voice trembling with tears.

Xiaoman was immediately confused. He hurriedly asked, "What? What young man? That Lan Xiang?"

Li Meng suddenly looked up, her eyes wide, grabbed Xiao Man's arm, and demanded sharply, "Why do you have this jade? Where did you get it?"

"what!"

Xiaoman was startled by her imposing manner.

"What do you mean, 'ah'?"

Li Meng's voice suddenly rose: "This is my little brother Lan Xiang's jade! Where did you find it? Tell me quickly!"

Xiaoman was taken aback by her shout, then frowned: "You mean... this jade belongs to Lan Xiang? But this jade was given to me by my mother."

When his mother gave it to him, she told him to keep it safe and never lose it.

Even if the rope breaks, you have to keep stringing it back together and carrying it.

Li Meng's hand trembled violently, and tears streamed down her face even more fiercely.

"Your mother... what's your mother's name?"

Xiaoman shook her head, her voice tinged with confusion.

“I don’t know my mother’s name. People in the village call her Sister-in-law Shun or Sister-in-law Shun.”

As far back as he can remember, his mother always wore faded coarse cloth clothes and worked on the ridges of the fields.

It wasn't until his little sister fell from the tree that things slowly started to get better in their village.

But his mother never mentioned what her name was.

Li Meng's hands suddenly clenched, her nails almost digging into her palms.

"Where is your mother? Where is she? Take me to her quickly!"

If she can find Xiaoman's mother, she will know where Lanxiang is.

Xiaoman lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "My mother... passed away seven years ago."

"what?"

Li Meng was struck dumb by Xiao Man's words.

She staggered back half a step, the light in her eyes instantly extinguished, leaving only utter despair.

"She's dead? How could this be..."

She finally found a trace of the jade, how could she let even the last clue be lost?

Tears welled up again, blurring her vision.

As if she had just remembered something, she took a deep breath and asked again, "What about your father? What about your family? Surely someone knows something?"

Xiaoman raised her head, her eyes revealing only a trace of pain.

"My father also passed away seven years ago. In the village... many people have passed away."

This is a long story. I'll tell you all about it after we get out of here alive, okay?

The horrific scene of Sujia Village being slaughtered by the Shadow Seven years ago.

He didn't want to mention it at this moment, fearing it would disturb everyone's peace of mind.

"not good!"

Li Meng suddenly raised her voice, with a hint of hysteria.

Do you know how important this jade is to our Miao people?

This is Lan Xiang's token, his proof! You need to make me explain myself now!

"But given the current situation, we still have to fight the enemy!"

Xiaoman was getting anxious. He pointed at the group of people, who were staring at Gu Xuanchao with predatory eyes.

"Look at them, do they let us speak in peace?"

"Have you two finished talking?!"

Gegentu's angry shout interrupted their argument.

He watched the stalling tactics before him with impatience in his eyes.

"Don't think you can save your lives by playing tricks. None of you are leaving today!"

Upon hearing Gegentu's arrogant and domineering voice, Li Meng turned around instantly, staring at Gu Xuanchao and the others, her tears replaced by icy anger.

She twirled the jade flute in her hand, and the flute body gleamed with a white light.

Then, she sternly said to Xiaoman and the others behind her, "Big brother, you take them and go first!"

"Li Meng, what do you mean by this?"

Xiaoman's heart tightened: "What are you trying to do?"

Li Meng's voice left no room for argument: "Stop talking nonsense, I told you to leave, so leave!"

"no!"

Xiaoman stepped forward, blocking her way: "If we're going to leave, we'll leave together. I can't leave you here alone!"

Li Meng looked at his stubborn profile, then at the jade on his chest, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes, which was then replaced by her own thoughts.

"Don't worry, little brother, I'll be fine. And I can't let anything happen to you."

Because I still need to find out where this piece of jade you're wearing came from!

"Get out of my way and don't get in my way!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she brought the jade flute to her lips.

Immediately, a melodious yet eerie flute melody rang out.

The flute music rose and fell, initially like clear spring water, but gradually became rapid, like a gale before a storm, echoing through the forest.

Xiaoman and the others were still standing there, not understanding her intention.

Hua Lingxing suddenly realized what was happening and shouted, "Everyone, let's go!"

She embraced the empress beside her and flew away into the distance.

Chess Spirit Star, along with Qin Spirit Star, Poetry Spirit Star, and Wine Spirit Star, carried the bodies of Painting and Tea Spirit Stars.

Shu Lingxing picked up Liu Lingzhen, whose fate was unknown, and ran quickly into the distance.

Shanzi and the others did not hesitate any longer and retreated with the crowd.

Xiaoman looked back at Li Meng's retreating figure, feeling both anxious and pained.

However, he was dragged away by Xiao Lie and could only stagger away.

"Want to run?"

Gao Kezi snorted coldly and moved to chase after him.

But just as he flew into the air, a buzzing sound came from the surrounding woods.

Immediately afterwards, countless flying insects drifted out rapidly like a large black cloud.

There were also various venomous snakes, scorpions, and centipedes crawling along the tree trunks and grass.

A dense, swarming mass of people crawled toward Gu Xuan and the others.

Gao Kezi's pupils shrank sharply: "This is..."

He could sense the potent venom on these poisonous insects; an ordinary martial artist would die instantly upon contact with them.

Li Meng's flute playing seemed to be directing them.

Upon receiving the command, various venomous insects frantically pounced on Gu Xuanchao and his group.

The warriors screamed and swung their weapons to fight back, but they couldn't stop the overwhelming onslaught.

Some warhorses were bitten by poisonous insects, became frightened and went mad, throwing their riders to the ground.

Some warriors, their ankles entwined by venomous snakes, turned purple in an instant and collapsed to the ground convulsing.

Gao Kezi channeled his vital energy to form a protective shield around himself, and the yellow light repelled any approaching poisonous insects.

But there were just too many poisonous insects. Every time we killed one batch, another batch would come and sizzle and corrode.
