Chapter 138

Especially using him to threaten her.

Anubis would never allow such a situation to happen.

In fact, when Anubis first left the Interstellar Strategic Academy, he keenly sensed someone following him. At first, he speculated that the Scavengers had found him, but he soon discovered that the person who came was not a Scavenger.

He had fought with the Scavengers several times and knew their style of work very well. Every member of that organization was well-trained and decisive in killing. Once targeted by them, they would never give themselves any chance of survival. But the person who had been following him all along made no move even after he tested by exposing parts of his body that could be killed with one blow.

So Anubis pretended not to notice and led the person to a deserted path.

Sure enough, the other party made a move, trying to use a flying gun to shoot an anesthetic needle to make him lose consciousness.

But Anubis had been deliberately arranged by his father to accept various drug training since he was a child, so he could remain conscious under the state of anesthesia and recover his physical functions in a shorter time than ordinary beastmen.

He fell down, pretending to be at the mercy of others, but was actually listening to every move of the other party. Until he heard a female voice... Anubis could no longer use himself as bait to figure out what these people were up to. He would not allow himself to become a handle for others to threaten her.

At this moment, Anubis's hand had penetrated Kui Shou's chest.

Kui Shou opened his eyes wide, fell to his knees with a "thud," opened his mouth to say something, but spat out a mouthful of blood, and then died.

Anubis, standing opposite Qiao Suisui, held a heart that was still beating in his hand.

His hands were dripping with blood, his sharp nails slowly retracted, and a heavy heart was thrown beside Kui Shou's corpse.

The darkness gradually faded like a tide. Anubis walked toward Qiao Suisui but stopped a few steps away from her, hiding his blood-stained hand behind his back.

The teenager, who was still bloodthirsty and killing just a second ago, was visibly nervous at this second.

Anubis looked at the young girl in front of him... She looked different from the last time they met. Her long hair was draped behind her back like silk, and a few strands ran onto her thin shoulders. Her face was only the size of a palm, her features exquisite, and her skin white and translucent. At this moment, whether from fear or cold, the tip of her nose and her cheeks were a bit crimson, like a ripe peach, watery and spiritual, making people think of things they shouldn't after one more look.

"I... I scared you..." Anubis was nervous and a bit at a loss.

Actually, the blush on Qiao Suisui's face was because she didn't know where to look now.

Just now, when he struggled out of the carriage chair, Anubis's top was torn, and after a fight, he was now shirtless, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and the lines of his abdominal muscles were obvious. Especially with a few splashes of blood on his chest and face, his inverted triangle figure suddenly became uniquely sexy.

She forced herself to recover, looked away, and said seriously, "It's not suitable to stay here for long, let's change to another place and talk."

Little did she know that this fake seriousness became the proof of his wild imagination in Anubis's eyes—

She saw me kill someone.

I'm done for.

She is colder to me than before.

The teenager lowered his head, gave a dejected "um," and followed Qiao Suisui without a word, like a stray dog on the side of the road wanting to follow her home after being fed.

The two walked down the embankment and hid in a bridge hole.

Under this bridge was a rushing river with a fast flow, and combined with the arch architecture, the sound of flowing water echoed throughout the bridge hole.

Anubis washed his hands with the river water, the bright red blood staining the rushing water and drifting away.

After cleaning himself up, he didn't dare to approach Qiao Suisui again, but sat on the ground five steps away from her.

"The Scavengers will most likely find me soon. It's very dangerous for you to stay with me." Anubis's voice was low, drowned out by the amplified sound of water, making Qiao Suisui unable to hear clearly.

She simply stood up, walked to his side, squatted down, tilted her head, and looked at him, asking, "What did you say?"

The scent of lily of the valley suddenly rushed toward him, making Anubis's heart skip a beat. His Adam's apple rolled, and looking at the person in front of him, his breathing became tight. "I... I said, it will be very dangerous for you to be with me."

"I'm not afraid of danger."

The teenager was stunned, seeing his own figure reflected in her obsidian-like eyes. The feelings he had been desperately suppressing for a long time could no longer be restrained.

His eyelashes trembled like the wings of a trembling butterfly. After a few deep breaths, Anubis struggled to speak: "Qiao, my father is a rebel, I am a person who cannot stand in the light, I lied to you..." I am not worthy to stand by your side.

He didn't say the last sentence.

He knew she wasn't his moon, but there were always a few moments when the moonlight did shine on him.

He didn't want much; just being able to see her true self was enough. They belonged to two different paths, and he couldn't be selfish enough to let her accompany him on the most adventurous path. What's more, there were so many excellent people around her...

Anubis's mouth was full of bitterness, his heart aching, his mouth open but unable to say any words.

"I know."

A crisp sentence directly stunned the teenager.

Qiao Suisui looked at his rare sluggish appearance and laughed out loud.

"I also know that your name is Anubis Connor, and your father is a good man."

In an instant, Anubis's eyes were filled with sourness. He lost his language, leaving only the surging love in his heart, like the rushing river beside them, surging through his heart.

"Since we promised to tell the truth last time, I will also tell you my secret." Qiao Suisui leaned into his ear and whispered, "I don't belong here."

Anubis asked, "What do you mean?"

Qiao Suisui said, "I come from another world."

Anubis had already known her identity as an ancient human before this, but hadn't seen her appearance yet. At this moment, he thought the "other world" she spoke of referred to the world of ancient humans, so he nodded and said, "I know. I will protect you well."

You still don't know. Qiao Suisui said in her heart.

The two sat on the ground side by side, the backs of their hands touching. They touched slightly inadvertently, and both of them turned their faces to the other side like an electric shock, but their hands didn't move at all.

Even though the sound of water echoed throughout the bridge hole, they could still hear their own heartbeats.

Anubis turned his face back first, looked at Qiao Suisui seriously, and said "Thank you" to her. His voice trembled slightly because it was too sincere.

Qiao Suisui also looked at him, "Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for believing that my father is a good man." His eyes were slightly red.

"You haven't been distorted in a growth of stigmatization, but instead grew wildly in the thorns. Bi, you are the best proof of your father."

Qiao Suisui thought of the man on the desert island who was the only one who didn't eat his companion despite hunger, the man who carried his brother on his back and survived in adversity. She had infinite admiration in her heart.

She placed her hand in Anubis's palm, interlaced her fingers with his, and conveyed extremely firm strength.

"Let's go to the Southern Battlefield, find out the truth of that year, and give justice to you, your father, and those who were wronged and sacrificed for no reason."

Chapter 139 is under review, need to wait.
